Merla, the good evil person or whatever...part 4

"And you! You stupid...you...you man!"
BONK!
"OW! HEY!"
"Shut UP...you...you MAN!!!"
BONK!
"What'd I do?"
"QUIET MAN!!"
BONK!
This had been going on for hours. Merla had successfully bonked every member of the Voltron Force (and Lotor) without much explanation as to the reason for her anger....other than that they were all men. Only Allura had been spared.
"What'd I do?" Lotor sobbed.
"Cry-smurfy..."Keith murmered.
"And for God's sake, I'm purple, not blue!!!" Lotor sobbed some more.
BONK!
"Shut up, man!"
"Man..." Lance said disgustedly.
"Merla, I'm afraid I don't quite see the point of this." Allura stated.
"It's to teach these....these MEN!! they're place in this universe!!" Merla said as she bonked them all again to the normal chorus of heys and ows.
"And that place would be?" Allura asked.
"What?" Merla turned.
"What is their place?" Allura rephrased the question.
Merla regarded the other Queen for a moment. "Um, well...." she stammered.
"You're just being evil again!" Keith shouted.
Merla was about to bonk him again when Coran entered the room and made a 'no-no-no' gesture.
"Why are we here again?" Merla wondered.
"I got married to Allura!" Lotor bellowed. "you're in control of Arus. allura wants it back! If you relinquish it, I get control because we're married!"
"We're married?" Merla turned to Lotor, "But, we got a divorce!"
Lotor's normal purple-blue complexion was turning red.
" ME AND ALLURA!!"
"Allura and I" Coran corrected.
"no, Lotor's evil, he can be wrong." Allura chimed in.
"Being evil is no excuse for bad grammar!" Coran retorted.
There was a slight pause before Keith asked "Why are we here again?"
Finally, tired of this absurd story, Pidge regained his ability to speak in sentences of more than one syllable. "OK!! Allura, you and Lotor get a divorce, after that, Merla you relinquish your power to Allura, it's that simple!"
silence all around.
"way to go boy genius!" Keith congratulated Pidge.
BONK!
"What'd I do?!"
"Well," Merla began, "That won't work, because if she gets divorced she'll be a princess again, and a queen will never relinquish her power to a princess! she will be a princess again, right?"
"Tehcnically yes," Coran answered. "Who knows though."
"So...I have to be married to be Queen?" Allura asked.
"Uh...yeah...I think so." Coran thought about it. "Sure, why not?"
"well...i know! KEITH!!" Allura turned to Keith. "Keith will you marry me?"
Keith froze in place.
"Keith?" Allura pleaded.
BONK!
"hm...no effect."
"Dude?" Hunk tapped Keith on the shoulder. He was still quite frozen.
"MAN!" Lance hit Keith on the back, no effect.
"I know how to get him to move." Lotor was heard.
"Oh really, how is that?" Merla turned to Lotor.
"Let me out of these chains and maybe I'll show you." Lotor raised and eyebrow to Merla.
"Actually, I have a better idea!" Merla turned away and then used her mind powers. "KEITH! Marry Allura" she commanded.
Keith remained motionless. "That must've been some shock, huh?" Pidge noted.
"Indeed" Coran nodded his head.
"Let me go! I'll get him to move!" Lotor had begun jumping up and down furiously. "Really, I will!" "Lotor, if he moves, that means you and Allura don't stay married!" Merla reminded him. "Oh yeah" Lotor suddenly stopped jumping. "Forget it then. I don't know how to get him out of shock." Lotor turned away.
Meanwhile, the VF tried unsuccessfully to get Keith out of shock. They splased cold water on him, they pinched his arm, they made him watch PBS....nothing.
"Lotor!" Merla used her mental powers. "You will get Keith out of shock!!"
"No" Lotor said stubbornly.
"NOW!!" she commanded.
"Please!" Coran corrected
"No, now!" Allura took Merla's side.
After a little more persuasion, and a few more bonks from Merla, Lotor agreed to help. "We're getting a divorce anyway!" Allura said.
"Yeah, well."
Keith was still motionless.
Lotor stood about three feet away from him, the VF behind him.
"Um...Keith..."Lotor started.
Keith was still in shock.
"Keith I was wondering if maybe...uh...y'know..."
Lotor stammered. He looked back at Allura unsuredly, he didn't really want to do this.
"Get on with it!" Merla's voice broke into his brain, and Lotor winced.
"You know your mind powers have no effect over my ego!" Lotor retorted, but turned back to Keith anyway.
"Keith...um...would you...scratch my back?" Lotor asked.
The Voltron Force was about to thwomp Lotor a good one when Allura shouted, "LOOK!"
Indeed they looked! And indeed they saw...Keith's face was getting all contorted and disgusted. "No way!" he spat out. "And Allura....YES!! Absolutely my love!!"
Allura and Keith embraced.
"Awwwwww!" Pidge was crying.
"MAN!" Lance patted Keith on the back.
"Thanks Lance." Keith said.
Meanwhile Merla gave Lotor a good BONK!!
