Here we go, my friends, Greening the Cube has begun. I'll describe the Shiro's Escape episode but then the actual episode of Greening the Cube will begin afterwards. The chapter will be somewhat different from the actual episode because of Haggar being in it. Anyway, enjoy the entertainment, my friends.

It had been a few weeks since Allura and Haggar went on their first date and since then things were not going well for everyone. They'd been constantly on the move from the Galron fleets, who revealed that Zarkon had placed a very large bounty on Haggar and Allura due to Hagger betraying him and due to the strong bond they now regained with their memories.

Since then they'd been constantly on the run while fighting off any Galron fleets they could. It wasn't until one day that Shiro remembered that Ulaz, a Galra doctor, helped him escape when he was experimented on, despite Allura saying otherwise due to the Galran's history. He also shared with the team that Zarkon was once the Black Lion Paladin and that Allura knew it but didn't mention it to them. But Haggar defended her lover by reminding them about what would happen if they even tried to speak ill of her Allura.

Haggar also revealed that it was because Zarkon was the original Paladin, he had a connection with the Black Lion that was still so powerful enough that he was using his Druids magic to track it down from anywhere in the universe, though she was worried that he may have found some other way to track them down through her, due to her being his high priestess and adviser for 10'000 years.

Using the coordinates found in his robotic arm by Pidge, Shiro and the team headed to the Thaldycon system, despite Allura protesting against it but Haggar eased her lover's worries by reminding her that she would be here if anything went wrong.

When they got there, they found a wasteland of Xanthorium clusters, where the castle/ship was invaded by a Galra ninja, who backed down after seeing Shiro's arm and revealed himself to be Ulaz, who was immediately taken to a cell by Haggar and Allura. Ulaz quickly recognized Haggar by hearing her voice and seeing the red marks on her. While he was shocked at seeing her with the Voltron team, he quickly turned his attention to more important things.

The Galra ninja revealed that he was part of the Blade of Marmora, a Galra resistance group. And he revealed that there was a hidden outpost right in front of the clusters, in a hidden pocket of space-time. After some persuasion from Shiro and Haggar using her magic, they learned he was telling the truth. After entering the space-time cloak, powerc by a gravity generator, they saw the Communication Outpost. The Paladins went inside the base with Ulaz, with Allura and Haggar staying behind with Coran. Lance wanted to remain in the castle to 'protect' Allura but quickly changed his mind because of the death threatening glare he got from the Altean lovers and because he was afraid of what Haggar would do to him. While at the Outpost, Ulaz revealed that there were agents inside Zarkon's ranks, one of which helped them escape when they freed Allura by sabotaging the shield, allowing them to escape. He also gave them a bit of information that there was a Blade of Marmora headquarters and that he knew that other people from Earth were captured and would send the records to the castle.

But before Ulaz could tell them anything else, one of Zarkon's mechanical beasts showed up. The Galron ninja gave Shiro a chip that contained the location of the Blade of Marmora headquarters, but told them not to go there until they knew how to keep Zarkon from tracking them.

After the Robeast disabled the space pocket cloak, by drawing in the clusters and firing its big laser, the team formed Voltron and despite putting up a good fight and Allura and Haggar helping by firing its laser and Haggar using her magic to increase the laser's power, the Robeast still kept fighting until Ulaz sacrificed himself to save the team by flying inside the mechanical beast and making the gravity generator fall in on itself, making the beast blow up, taking Ulaz with it, much to Shiro and Keith's sadness and even Allura and Haggar sympathized with them, due to being reminded that the princess's lover was Zarkon's high priestess and if she could betray Zarkon, then possibly others inside the Galra ranks could as well.

1 day later, Haggar told Shiro to forge a stronger bond with the Black Lion as it would be crucial to decreasing Zarkon's ways of tracking them, which he successfully did, despite having an intense battle with Zarkon in a mental and spiritual plain that ended with the Black Lion saving Shiro because after being reminded that a bond between Lion and its Paladin was about the mutual trust and respect for each other and not about power as Zarkon believed it to be. After the battle was over, Haggar sensed that Zarkon's bond with the Black Lion was severely weakened, which would make it harder for him to track them, though Haggar was still worried that Zarkon could still find them, through her.

A few days later

Allura and Haggar had just woken up together after spending some time together on a date. They looked at each other and shared a sweet good morning kiss. "Did you enjoy your sleep, my lovely princess?"

"With you sleeping beside me every night now, I always sleep peacefully and happily." Allura said with a smile as she traced her Haggar's red marks with her fingers, making the ex high priestess smile before she kissed the tip of them gently.

"How about we have a little breakfast before we do anything else, my beautiful princess? A great breakfast in bed always made me happy when we had our sleepovers." Haggar suggested, wanting to relive a good memory with her princess.

"Of course, my love. I have the perfect breakfast in mind for a good morning." Allura said before she pressed a button on her nightstand, brought up a breakfast menu and quickly selected the perfect Altean breakfast that she and her Haggar loved when they live on their home planet.

After eating their food and taking separate showers, the 2 lovers went to the bridge where Coran greeted them before they heard the Paladins making repairs to their primary ship: with Hunk and Lance completely clueless to what they were supposed to do until Pidge immediately knew what was needed in order to repair the ship's connection to the castle defenses.

While listening in to the Paladins from the castle, Haggar asked with a bit of annoyance while turning to her beloved. "Where did you find these jokers? Not counting Pidge."

Allura answered her lover honestly while holding her hands. "They come from a planet called Earth."

Coran added sarcastically. "Although Keith did mention to the Princess and I, that in Lance's case however, he was found left in a basket with a note saying and I quote: I'm stupid and an idiot on it."

Before they could board the ship, they noticed the 'snowball like spores' and Lance, being the idiot of the team, started a 'snowball fight' with the rest of the team, much to Haggar's annoyance. While the others were goofing around, Pidge noticed that the objects weren't really snowballs and were more like spores and containing some sort of message and stated she could decipher it back at the castle. After returning to the castle and a few short hours of deciphering the code, Pidge had informed her teammates and Allura that the code was actually an SOS coming from a planet called Olkarion, claiming that the Galran Empire had attacked and enslaved their home planet.

Haggar stated with a look of hate on her face as she knew that Zarkon would go after them. "That doesn't really surprise me."

Allura asked her lover as she touched her cheek. "What do you mean, Haggar?"

The ex high priestess answered her princess and lover. "The Olkari are known wizards with scientific and engineering skills, able to create bio-mechanical creations through their bond and connection to nature itself."

The Paladins were amazed by the powers the native people of Olkari possessed, especially Pidge due to her tech junkie nature. Shiro asked with curiosity. "Haggar, what could Zakron possibly want the Okari for?"

Haggar answered honestly for the Paladin team leader. "Zakron needs them to construct an energy weapon, powerful enough to damage anyone who stands in his way, even your Lions individually and even combined as Voltron."

Allura and the Paladins were shocked at that revelation: if the Galran Empire had finished building that weapon, not even Voltron would be powerful enough to stop it and feared the second scenario: once the Olkari had served their purpose, Zakron's forces would kill them the other innocent Olkari while most likely keeping their top engineers as slaves to build even more powerful weapons.

"Pidge, upload the planet's coordinates into the navigation system. We're going to free the Olkari and drive the Galra off their planet." Haggar told her new Earth friend, making her do just that.

"Suit up, guys." Shiro told his team and friends, making them nod...but not before Allura made a last minute change of plans.

The princess stated. "Just a moment, Shiro."

"What's the matter, Princess?"

Allura stated something that shocked Shiro and his entire team, with the exception of Pidge as she was starting to get closer to the Princess and her lover. "Haggar and I had an important discussion while you and your team were gone this morning, Shiro...and she requested to join your team on this mission."

Shiro started off. "Whoa, we don't think..."

"No way!" Lance added.

"Not a chance!" Added Hunk

Keith shocked them both, Lance greatly, as he agreed with them both. "Absolutely not!"

Allura stated firmly while trying to keep her anger in check. "Haggar has insights on the Galran Empire that could be useful and she deserves a chance to prove her trustworthiness to the team."

"I agree with Allura and Haggar, guys. Haggar's been a great help to us ever since she got here. She did help us fight Zarkon's Robeast and helped Shiro form a stronger bond with his Lion that decreased Zarkon's chances of finding us tenfold. And besides all that, me and her have bonded. Not as much as the strong bond that she and Allura have, but still we bonded." Pidge said as she patted Haggar's shoulder, agreeing with her female Altean friends.

"Of course you agree with them, Pidge, you've agreed with them ever since they took their make up for lost time trip." Coran said with an annoyed look, knowing that Pidge would agree with them because she was the only female here besides them.

"Look Paladins...I've done a lot of horrible things when I served Zakron: things that I wish I could forget and take back, conquering planets and killing innocent people who begged for their lives. I deserve a chance to make things right...please let me make things right." Haggar said while trying to keep herself from doing what she did when the male Paladins tried to deny her and her princess their long overdue first date.

Shiro and the Paladins stared surprised at Haggar wishing to redeem herself for all the horrible things she had done in the past while serving Zakron and his empire. After a few moments of silence, Shiro stated softly. "Get on the ship, Haggar."

Keith asked his team leader. "Shiro..are you sure about this?"

The team leader answered. "If there's one thing that I learned while growing up as a kid, is that everyone deserves a second chance. Plus, if Allura trusts Haggar enough to let her live in the castle with her and help us, that's good enough for me."

The other Paladins, except Pidge, were still a bit uneasy with letting Haggar accompany them on their mission, but knew to trust both Shiro's and Allura's judgment. But before they left, Allura asked for a moment alone with Haggar, which the Paladins and Coran agreed to and gave them a moment.

Knowing what her princess lover was about to say, Haggar took her hands and said. "I'll be alright, my love. The Paladins and I will return to you alive."

Allura stated with worry while softly bringing her hands up to Haggar's face and they leaned in, with their foreheads pressed together. "I have no doubts that you'll return to me alive, my darling. I'm just worried about what will happen if one of Zakron's most trusted generals manages to capture you..."

Haggar silenced her Allura's fears and stated gently. "That will never happen, my precious Allura. I will never allow us to be separated ever again." They 2 lovers sealed the vow with a searing and passionate kiss until they separated and were nose to nose and smiled lovingly at each other before Haggar reluctantly joined the Paladins in their ship.

After boarding the ship and heading to Olkarion, Shiro asked Haggar if she knew about the Galan general in charge of enslaving the Olkari's and she gave them all the information they needed. "His name is Commander Branko, a textbook sadist who enjoys torturing people and before he became a commander, Branko was Zakron's personal 'interrogator', torturing the prisoners they captured for any useful information and due Zakron liking Branko's methods...he was prime leadership material. But now he's exiled from the main fleet and if he gets that weapon to Zarkon, he'll more than likely just take the weapon and possibly welcome Branko back to his fleet...or kill him." Hunk, Lance and Pidge were horrified after learning what kind of monster Branko was...while Keith and Shiro were simply angered and were more determined to bring Branko down. She also told the Paladins about the planet's metal: how it can adapt to any attack and to be careful.

They got onto the planet and the Paladins got into their Lion's while Haggar piloted the ship. The ex high priestess informed them that the distress signal was coming from the forests, much to Pidge's disappointment. "Why can't we get distress signals from a cool place? I hate the outdoors. Nothing but sunburn and poison oak."

"I wouldn't complain this much, my friend. You may learn something out here today. I studied about the Olkari in my school and learned that they could make anything out of metal to all things in nature." Haggar said with a smile, thinking her new tech friend would be delighted to hear that she'd learned about the Olkarians abilities.

Suddenly 6 arrows shot the Lions and the ship before green beams came out of them and brought them to the ground, along with the ship where many Olkari prepared for battle as 1 of them stepped up and took off her hood. "Could it be? Voltron?" She asked with surprise.

The green Lion opened and Pidge came out holding a tube with a spore inside it. "We got your distress signal." The green Paladin said as the rest of the Voltron team and Haggar got out of their Lions and jumped down to the Olkari.

"Oh praise Lubos." The 1 known as Ryner said with a happy smile, making the rest of her race say the same thing before she noticed Haggar. "And who might this be?"

"This is Haggar, the long lost friend of Princess Allura. But she's recently been helping us fight the Galra." Shiro said politely while introducing Haggar.

"A friend of the Altean princess? How can that be? I'd heard stories about her being in stasis for 10'000 years, but I never thought that any other Altean survived Zarkon's genocide." Ryner wondered, telling the Paladins what she'd heard about Zarkon's genocide of Altea.

Haggar began to get a bit frightened about how the Olkari would react to knowing about her past but she knew that she couldn't let fear hold her back if she wanted to prove herself to Allura and Voltron. "What I'm about to show you won't be to your liking, Noble Olkari, but I have to show you everything you need to know about my past. Whatever reaction you have will be more than understandable and I'll take whatever you think of me without contempt." She said as she did the same magic she used on Allura to let Ryner see into her memories. From her childhood with Allura, reluctantly leaving Altea by her parents to further her education, to Zarkon eventually kidnapping her and forcing her to keep experimenting with the Quintessence under the threat of Allura's life and eventually having her memories erased and serving Zarkon for 10'000 years to eventually retaining her memories of Allura and defecting from the Galra empire and joining the Voltron team and their recent battle with Zarkon's Robeast.

When it was finally done, Haggar let go and Ryner looked at the ex high priestess with sympathetic eyes. "Oh my Lubos. All the things you went through under that monster. Haggar, I'm...so very sorry." She said as she gently hugged her.

"You... don't hate me?" Haggar said with a very surprised face as she hadn't expected anyone else to have the same reaction as her Allura did.

"Of course not, Haggar. Zarkon forced you to continue your experimenting, despite begging him to stop. You only did what you did to protect princess Allura and when your memories were erased, Zarkon took advantage of it and turned you into what he wanted you to be. But now that you've regained your lost memories and have defected from that monster, you're finally free to be who you were always meant to be." Ryner said softly as she separated from the Altean sorceress.

"Thank you, Ryner. I only hope that the rest of the universe will think of it like that as well, though I highly doubt it." Haggar said with a relieved smile.

"Don't worry, Haggar, if other planets don't see your past that way, just remember that you have us, the people who will accept you, and of course, Allura." Pidge said, reminding her friend that even if other planets won't react to Haggar's past the same way as Ryner did, she always had the Voltron team and Allura.

"Thank you so much, Pidge." Haggar said with a smile as she shared a friendly hug with the Green Paladin.

Ryner then took the Voltron team and Haggar and showed them their home in the forest while explaining to them how they were forced from their city. "When the Galra attacked, only a few of us escaped the cities."

"How long have you been like this?" Shiro asked.

"Many years." She answered. "But, as you can see, our people never stopped evolving. Instead, we adapted our skills to the environment." She added, showing them a city that they'd built from their powers in the forest trees, much to Pidge's and Hagger's amazement.

"That's no surprise to me, Ryner. During my studies in my old life, I was sent to Olkari to learn how to use your people's connection with nature to build my own. It wasn't easy at first but I was a fast learner. I even experimented with the power to adapt my skills to nature as well and it worked out so well, my teachers wanted me to teach my own students one day." Haggar explained, having remembered that memory by just seeing an Olkari build an insect from sticks and leaves and using his powers to make it fly like it was a living, breathing creature.

"Yes, now I remember. Some of my teachers told me about an Altean who taught her own class to adapt their skills to the environment and some of us were even taught the same thing. But I never thought that I would ever meet here in my lifetime." Ryner said with a surprised smile, having remembered that she'd heard of an Altean who taught her own Olkarion class to adapt their skills to nature.

"Whoa. Haggar taught her own class when she was a student here and that's where the idea of working with nature's designs came from?" Pidge asked with an excited smile.

"Of course, she taught her students that nature's designs are superior to anything that we could build. And her students taught that very same lesson from generation to generation until eventually our generation arrived." Ryner said, having remembered in her studies that nature was far superior to any machine.

"No offense but I'll take my computer over a tree any day." Pidge said while holding her hands up, not wanting to offend Haggar or Ryner.

"None taken, Pidge." Haggar said as she patted her friend's shoulder.

"You guys can talk about science later. Right now, we need to assemble Voltron and take down Branko." Shiro told them.

"It's not that simple, I'm afraid. The Galra have our leader...Lubos." Ryner said with sadness, making the other Olkari say their King's name in the same tone. "If you attack, who knows what they'll do to him."

"We'll just have to rescue him." Shiro said.

Ryner took them to another area and saw some Olkari use their power to form blasters out of their flowers, surprising the Paladins and exciting Pidge, who Haggar smiled at as she rubbed her friend's hair, making her giggle before Ryner used her power to transform a part of a tree into a suit of battle armor.

"Whoa. Can I have 1 of those?" Keith asked, wanting to know if he could have 1 of those as well.

"Of course. You can each have 1." Ryner answered as she presented the Paladins with headbands that could allow them to form the same armor while explaining how to do it. "Now, the key to operating it is understanding that the nanocellulose response to electoral impulses from the neural pathways connected through this. Of course the commands need to come as binary coded messages."

Pidge put 1 on, went to one of the trees and concentrated before she did the same thing the Olkari did and made another battle suit, making Haggar smiled at her friend. "I think you're starting to understand, Pidge."

"Yes, excellent." Ryner said with an impressed smile.

"I think mine is just a tree." Hunk said, seeing that he or his other friends couldn't do the same thing as Pidge did.

"You must have a deep connection with nature." Ryner told Pidge, thinking that the green Paladin had the same connection with nature that she and her kind had.

"Pidge is our resident tech expert." Shiro explained to the Olkari female.

"Well that explains it. Like me and my kind, you understand that,cat the deepest level, trees, metal, you, me. We're all made up of the same cosmic dust. All arranged by the laws of mathematics." Ryner said with a smile, thinking that Pidge was just like her and her kind.

"And that means you'll have to give the others a ride, Pidge." Haggar explained to her friend.

"But what about you, Haggar?" Pidge asked.

"I'll pilot the ship and cloak it to recon the base. The Galran defenses will be very strong. Once I've done that, we can form a plan to rescue the king. Ryner, come with me. I'll need your help to identify the weapon they're building." Haggar answered before getting into the ship with Ryner.

They headed to the Galra base and checked the defenses, which were impenetrable from the ground due to how many soldiers there were. But found a small opening in the roof of the main building.

Suddenly they saw a giant cube. "Ryner, is that…?" Haggar asked with a look of recognition on her face as she'd seen 1 of those before.

"Yes. It's an Olkari cube. We used to play with them as children, but I haven't seen 1 of that size in many years and I know that only King Lubos could have designed 1 of that size. They must have forced him to reveal his designs and redesigned it as a weapon. And from the looks of it, it looks like it's almost finished, if not finished already." Ryner explained, fearing the worst for her people and the universe if Zarkon got his hands on a self replicating like that.

"Let's get back to the others, they have to know about this. That cube can't leave this planet." Haggar said before they headed back to the others and informed them of the cube.

Once they were all filled in, Shiro told them of his plan to rescue the Olkari King. "First, we'll need to get to the top of the tower. Since the Green Lion has stealth capabilities, Pidge will be our drop ship. You'll take Keith, Lance, Hunk and me to the roof and drop back to a safe position. After the drop, we'll use a scanner to find any Olkari biorhythms. We find King Lubos, get him out and then Haggar and Voltron can destroy the cube before it gets off the planet. Haggar, while we're rescuing Lubos, you use your ship to free the prisoners and then bring them back here."

The others understood the plan and proceeded as Shiro had instructed. Pidge got them to the tower undetected and the other Paladins dropped in before using their scanner, quickly finding Lubos' location.

They quickly headed to where he was while avoiding any Galra soldiers and heard a voice coming from the other side of a big door. And from the sounds of it, it seemed like Lubos was crying in pain but when they opened the door, they saw the Olkari King... watching a program while eating snacks and another Olkari who was in shackles beside him, looking at the floor.

"Uh...King Lubos?" Shiro asked with shock, making the king look at them before alerting the Galra base, making the lights turn on before several Galra soldiers and Branko himself entered the room.

"Looks like someone came to 'rescue' you, Lubos." The sadistic Galra commander said in a mocking tone, revealing the the 'king was a traitor to his people.

The Paladins looked at the 'king' with disgust. "You turned your back on your people to save your own skin." Shiro said with hate for the cowardly Olkari.

"I'm doing this for my people. They wanted to fight the Galra, but they're too powerful. They could destroy us." Lubos said, defending his actions.

"So you helped enslave your people to build a super weapon?!" Lance yelled with disgust, beginning to have this disgraceful King for helping the Galra enslave his own people, just to save himself.

"Don't make me the bad guy, he forced me to do it!"

"Did he force-feed you too?!" Lance countered.

The other Olkari suddenly pushed his coward of a King toward the Paladins and Keith caught him. You betrayed our people! I won't live this life anymore!" He said, tired if serving his disgrace of a king.

A second later, a big laser blast, shot by Pidge, blew up the wall to make an opening for the team. "Engage the cube and take down the Lion!" Branko ordered, making his men shoot at the team but they avoided the blasts before getting on the green Lion with the disgrace of a king and his abused servant.

While this was happening, Haggar used her ship to blast the Galra soldiers and loaded the prisoners onto the vessel before they saw the cube getting ready to launch. "The cube's operational! We've gotta get to the other Lions!" Shiro told his friends.

"On it!" Pidge said before she flew her Lion back to the others as fast as she could. Haggar followed them after doing something that she thought would be helpful in taking care of Branko.

When they got to the other Olkari, Haggar saw Shiro throw Lubos to his knees, confusing her and Ryner. "Pidge, what's going on?" Haggar asked.

"I'll answer that, Haggar. While the Olkari starved, this disgrace of a king was well taken care of. He willingly helped Branko build that cube. Willingly helped enslave his own people." Shiro answered, revealing Lubos' true nature to Haggar, Ryner and her people.

"He did what?! He helped them?! HE HELPED THEM ENSLAVE HIS OWN PEOPLE WILLINGLY?!" The former high priestess yelled out before using her powers to lift the cowardly King into the air and begin to squeeze him very painfully, making him yell in pain like the coward he is.

Pidge knew she'd have to stop her new friend before she went to far and quickly grabbed the arm holding up Lubos. "Haggar, wait, don't do anything crazy!" She pleaded.

"And why shouldn't I, Pidge? He willingly helped Branko enslave his people and build a superweapon that could potentially destroy even Voltron, just to save his own hide! Why shouldn't I make this bastard suffer the way he let his people suffer?!" Haggar asked as she squeezed a bit harder.

"You're right, he does deserve to suffer for what he did, but I think killing him will be letting him off too easy. Besides, think of Allura and what she'd think." Pidge said gently, knowing that killing the disgraceful King would be letting him off too easy and reminding her friend of what Allura would think of this.

Haggar wanted to kill this disgrace of a king for what he did to his people, unlike her who only did what she did to protect her Allura and her people, even though it cost her everything in the end. After a few seconds, Haggar looked at the 'king' and brought him down to look him in the eyes. "You are very lucky that my friend was here, otherwise I would have killed you. But when Branko is taken care of, you'll wish you were dead." She said darkly before throwing him down hard.

Ryner glared at Lubos. "How could you?"

"I-i" He tried to say, but Haggar used her power to shut his mouth as she didn't want to hear any pathetic excuse from him.

Ryner looked at Haggar before nodding and turning to her people. "It's time to rise against the Galra and free our people!" She said, making her people cheer.

The Paladins got into their Lions and formed Voltron before heading to the weaponized cube and attacking it with their lasers but the cube just absorbed them before firing them right back at them but they successfully avoided the attacks with Haggar casting spells to shield the Lions. The Paladins tried using their sword to cut the cube but it only made more cubes to fight, causing the team to separate their Lions, much to Branko's delight as he would potentially have his weapon and Voltron to present to Zarkon.

"How can we beat that thing it just fires our attacks back at us and just makes more of itself after we cut in half?!" Pidge wondered.

That was when she heard Haggar's voice in her head, as she had contacted her friend telepathically. "Pidge...remember what I told you and your team about the metal substance on this planet: it can adapt to handle any sort of attack. The only way to destroy that weapon is by doing something unexpected."

"But how can I do that if it'll only absorb the attack?" Pidge asked her friend in her mind.

"You have to form a stronger bond with your Lion, Pidge, one that is spiritually stronger. Remember what Ryner told you: me, Allura, you, the other Paladins, the Lion, the Olkari, we're all made of the same essence." Haggar said in her friend's mother mind, reminding her that everything living thing was all made of the same cosmic dust.

Pidge then concentrated very hard to bond spiritually with her Lion while remembering what Haggar and Ryner told her. "Come on, girl, I need you." She said to her Lion.

After realizing she would have to learn to improvise and not always rely on scientific methods, Pidge's Lion had unlocked a new power that allowed their team to destroy the cubes from the inside by having vines grow out of them, completely shutting them down before they fell to the ground, completely useless.

Haggar saw that Ryner and her people were effortlessly taking back their city and that Branko's ship was trying to flee the planet but she activated the secret bomb she placed on the ship, combining it with her magic to make sure that it blew up the entire ship when it was far enough in the sky, killing all the Galra inside, especially Branko.

Later after the battle

After the Galra were defeated, the Olkari took back their city and Ryner thanked the Voltron team and Haggar for all their help. But Haggar presented an Olkari crown that she'd made with her magic and put it on Ryner's head before taking a knee and bowing, with the Paladins doing the same. "The Olkari still need a leader, and you're the perfect candidate for being the queen they need."

Ryner smiled as her people had yelled out her name, hailing her as their new queen. "ALL HAIL QUEEN RYNER!"

"Thank you, my friends. And I give you my word as the new queen of Olkarion that our people will stand by your side when the time comes to take the fight to Zarkon." The new Olkari Queen told her new friends.

"What about Lubos?" Lance asked, wondering what would become of the disgraced King.

"He'll be spending the rest of his life in prison. He willingly helped the Galra enslave our people and for that, he'll now feel the pain he made us go through." Ryner answered, making Haggar smile. "And Pidge, your bond with the green Lion has grown stronger than ever. Remember that the Olkari spirit resides in you now."

"Thanks. But without Haggar, I never would have been able to unlock my Lion's hidden power." Pidge said with a smile while thanking Haggar for helping her, making the Altean sorceress smile as she rubbed her friend's hair.

After leaving the planet and offering the now queen Ryner their help if the Galran Empire ever returned to Olkarion, Shiro contacted Allura for a mission update: stating that the weapon was destroyed and Brakno was dead...thanks to Haggar, while giving the ex-high priestess a thumbs up and other male Paladins gave her a friendly nod, showing they were wrong about her while Pidge shared a hug with her.

Allura smiled at the sight of her Paladins treating her lover as a friend and ally and said that she would be waiting for their return. When they finally returned, the princess and Haggar took Pidge to their room to tell her everything: how Haggar showed Ryner her past and the Olkari Queen's acceptance of her, to the Olkari Queen revealing that Haggar was a teacher of her own class during her studies, Pidge finding out about her deeper connection with nature, to finding out about Lubos' true nature and what Haggar would have done to him if Pidge hadn't calmed her down, to Haggar helping Pidge bond with her Lion spiritually to help destroy the cube and Haggar blowing up Branko's ship to stop him for good. And finally, to Haggar crowning Ryner as the new queen of the Olkari.

"You know, guys, it's weird. I've always been a tech junkie. It's how I connected to the world, but now I feel connected to everything. I guess Ryner was right. We're all made of the same cosmic dust. And you were right, too, Haggar. I did learn something while I was there... and strengthened my friendship with you." Pidge said before she shared a friendly hug with the Altean princess and the ex high priestess.
