Chapter 6 Finding out the truth

It had been 2 weeks since the Space Mall adventure and the Voltron team was ready to take the fight to Zarkon. They'd been tracking down large numbers of Galra fleets and destroying them while also taking any information they'd need for whatever Zarkon had in store for them in the upcoming fight. And with Haggar's help, the search and destroy missions were extremely easy, especially with her magic to help them. Haggar and Allura even taught each other a few things in case they would need them if they ever got separated and they'd even found some time to be alone with each other when the team went on a few missions but Haggar still couldn't stop thinking about what Zarkon said about her parents when she severed all links with him and was working on regaining the memories to find out what happened, which would cause her to do something drastic and reckless.

In the castle/ship

Everyone was doing what they felt was best to prepare for the next encounter against Zarkon. The Paladins were either training or doing other stuff to improve themselves while Allura and Coran were checking the bridge for any defenses that needed to be fixed.

But Haggar was in her room, meditating on finding out about what happened to her parents. What Zarkon had told her about them had been constantly on her mind but she couldn't remember anything about what happened the day she was separated from them, so she'd meditating on finding out. She'd been meditating for 1 hour and was now in a deep trance, seeing images of what happened that awful day.

Flashback 10'000 years ago

Haggar was entering the cockpit of her parents' ship. Her mother said something that was not quite understandable, but then all of the sudden... they were attacked by a Galra ship! Her father panicked as he tried desperately to avoid the fighters but couldn't and they were pulled inside the ship by some kind of force. Haggar tried to break it with her powers but was unable to and they were inside the ship, with Haggar feeling scared as she felt a dark and evil force.

When Galra soldiers entered their ship. Haggar's father tried to shoot them and Haggar used her magic to defend her parents but they were all paralyzed by the same dark force and pulled to the ground. Haggar looked up and saw who it was, making her eyes widen in fear of who she saw: Zarkon, Emperor of the Galra Empire. Haggar heard that he'd once been the Black Paladin of Voltron, the Legendary Defender of the universe until he became corrupted by the power he had.

Zarkon smirked evilly before speaking. "Finally, I have found you... Haggar."

Outside Haggar's mind

Haggar tried hard to see what happened afterwards but the next images were not clear, other then when she pleaded that she didn't want to help in giving Zarkon the secrets of eternal life through quintessence. Finally, she saw one where Zarkon threatened to kill her parents.

Inside Haggar's mind

Haggar was on her knees, seeing her parents held by Galra soldiers, ready to kill them at any moment. "Zarkon, don't hurt them!" She pleaded, not wanting to lose her parents, mainly her mother.

Zarkon looked at the young Altean sorceress with a very fierce gaze. "You will help me create the Quintessence, Altean sorceress...or you will have the privilege of being the cause of your parents' deaths!"

Haggar watched as the Galra soldiers held their swords closer to her parents' throats and closed her eyes as tears flowed from her eyes. Zarkon was about to give the signal, when Haggar shouted out. "Stop!" Zarkon looked to her, waiting for what she was going to say. "I'll do it. I... will create the Quintessence for you... Zarkon. Just please... don't hurt my parents."

Haggar's mother shook her head, not wanting her daughter to serve a tyrant like Zarkon, even if she and her husband had to die for their daughter. "No Haggar, don't do it. If Zarkon gets the Quintessence, he'll live forever to rule the universe and no one will be able to stop him!"

"Please Zarkon, I'll do whatever you want, just let my parents go!" Haggar pleaded, not wanting her parents hurt or worse.

Zarkon smirked and nodded to the soldiers, seemingly honoring his part of the deal and letting Haggar's parents go. One Galra commander held Haggar up to make her face Zarkon as he looked into her eyes. "A wise decision, Haggar. But let me tell you this, for I will not repeat myself! You will use the dark arts to make as much Quintessence as I require. If you even stop, your parents will die. You will embrace the full power of the darkness. If you try to resist, your parents will die! You will serve me, as the high Priestess of my empire! If you fail me, your parents will die!"

Haggar slowly nodded with reluctance. "I... will do as you say... Lord Zarkon."

Zarkon smiled evilly and singled for Haggar's parents to be taken away and take Haggar to his ship.

"Haggar!" Both of Haggar's parents called out to their daughter as they were dragged away.

"MOM! DAD!" Haggar yelled as she was dragged away by the druids.

Outside Haggar's mind

The Altean sorceress cried at seeing those horrible memories again, but remained in her trance to keep focused on what happened.

Inside Haggar's mind

For many weeks, young Haggar was exposed to dark magic of the druids that would have killed a normal person but as talented she was in magic, she kept herself alive while creating the Quintessence that Zarkon wanted. During the latest exposure, she fell to her knees as she finally was able to create all the Quintessence that Zarkon wanted to obtain immortality. Her whole body was hurting and she tried so hard to get up when Zarkon walked into the room.

"You have done well, but this is only the beginning." Zarkon said with an evil smile, knowing that this was only the beginning of his quest for immortality.

Not long after another image came that was a few days afterwards. Haggar was taken to the bridge of Zarkon's flagship, where she watched with horror as her home-planet, Altea, was being destroyed by the Galra. She wanted to scream and cry her tears out, for she knew that her beloved Allura was dead for sure, but had to keep calm so Zarkon wouldn't kill her parents, as they were all she had left now.

Zarkon walked to her and said. "Now you see, Haggar. All who oppose me...will be destroyed."

Haggar was trying to keep herself composed and asked calmly. "Where are my parents now?"

Zarkon showed her a live recording of her parents, kept in a cell "You're parents are being kept in a secret location on Altea."

"Altea? But you just destroyed it!"

"They are on a secret location on the planet. I will keep them on this dead rock of a planet, as a warning to you that your parents will meet the same fate as Altea. If you ever oppose me, they... will... die!" Zarkon threatened.

Outside Haggar's mind

After that, Zarkon erased all her remaining memories from her mind. Now she only saw the things she did remember when she served under Zarkon and became corrupted by dark magic. Haggar's eyes opened wide, as she didn't want to see anymore of those horrible memories of what she did in Zarkon's name. But now she knew what to do: she had to go to Altea to learn about what happened to her parents all those centuries ago.

Later on at dinner

All the Paladins, Alura and Coran were on the table when Haggar joined them. As she sat down next to Allura, she sighed, as it was difficult for her to say the right words to everyone about what she wanted to do, concerning Allura and Pidge. "Haggar, what's wrong?" The female Paladin asked.

Allura looked worried for her lover and put her hand on hers. "Any luck with getting any memories back?"

Haggar slowly nodded. "I did... but..." She said with worry, not sure if she should tell her lover and her friends about her plan.

"What's wrong?" Allura asked with concern.

After a few minutes, Haggar found some courage in her and stood up to tell everyone of her plan. "Everyone, I want to return to Altea."

What Haggar said only made everyone look at Haggar in shocking silence, as they didn't expect to hear that from Zarkon's ex high priestess. Especially Allura, who was completely against the whole idea. "Return to Altea?! No, Haggar, you can't! It's way too dangerous to go there!"

"I know you guys think this is a bad idea, and I completely agree with you. But ever since Zarkon mentioned about what happened to my parents when I broke all mental connection with him, I have tried to remember for the past few days what happened to them, and I think I finally found out the truth. I saw images of him telling me when I was younger that he was keeping them on Altea on a secret location after he had destroyed the planet. I know it has been over 10.000 years, but i just want to know what happened to them."

Pidge walked up to Haggar and stroked her back softly as she looked at her Altean friend with knowing sympathetic eyes, for she understood how it felt to try to figure out what happened to family, making Haggar look at Pidge the same way as she stroked her hair. Pidge had told Haggar that her family was missing as well and that the Galra were the ones responsible.

After a few seconds, Coran finally spoke gently. "Look Haggar, we all feel for you, but Allura is right. Altea is now deep into Galra territory and the risk of being detected by them is very large."

Keith added in the same tone. "And what if this is what Zarkon wants you to do, Haggar? It could be a trap."

Haggar sat down and sighed. "I know that it could be, but I want to go to Altea to know the truth!"

Allura and Pidge tried to calm her down while Shiro spoke. "We understand Haggar, but we cannot take any chances if it is a trap."

Haggar slowly calmed herself as she tried to hold in her tears and slowly nodded, but Allura sensed some determination in Haggar through their mental link and was sure that she was going to do something reckless.

Later that day

The Altean lovers were their room, with Haggar reading a book and Allura bathing her pet nice. When the princess was done, she wanted to talk to her lover, in the hope she will change her mind about her plan. "Haggar, we need to talk."

"Is it about what I said at dinner time?" Haggar asked, having known what herself and Allura needed to talk about through their mental link to each other.

Allura looked into her princess's eyes with love. "Haggar, I need you to listen to me. I know how much you want to return to Altea to know what happened to your parents, but hear me out. I really feel that Zarkon had planned for you to want to know the truth and prepared a trap for you."

"Allura... I-"

"Please Haggar, I really feel that something terrible is going to happen if you go!" She said as she held Haggar's cheeks softly as she looked deeper into her eyes. "Please, don't... don't go. Promise me that you won't go. I promise you that we will go to Altea one day to figure out the truth, but please, have patience...for me?"

Haggar really wanted to go and find out about her parents but was touched by her princess's words. She looked away for a moment before looking at her again. "I promise." She said softly.

Allura smiled and kissed Haggar passionately. However, Haggar had a feeling that Allura might sense that she will go anyway, so she tried to block any of those thoughts and secretly crossed her fingers behind her back.

Later at night

Haggar waited patiently until everyone on the ship was asleep before she began to go through with her secret plan. She slowly got out of the bed without waking Allura and quietly put on the outfit she picked out earlier. As she was about to leave the room, she looked at her sleeping lover and she thought that it was best to leave a note for her. She found a piece of paper from a drawer and used her magic to write something in Altean before putting it on her pillow next to Allura.

"I'm sorry, Allura." Haggar whispered quietly as she carefully kissed Allura's cheek, making the Altean princess smile sweetly and making Haggar smile before she quickly and quietly left the room.

Haggar quickly got to the shuttle bay and prepared for take off before flying out of the castle. Once she was far enough away, she created a wormhole straight for the Altean system. Allura had taught her lover to create wormholes in case she had to take command of the ship one day and with adjustments to the shuttles from Pidge, she arrived into the Altea system and was in orbit of the planet in just a few minutes time.

When she saw the planet, she was shocked to discover that it was in ruins. What was once a beautiful world was now a dead wasteland. The cities that lit the night sky were now nothing but thousands of years of old ruins. It hurt her so much to see her home world like this but now wasn't the time to grieve for her old home.

Before she landed, she released a small satellite that Pidge created to check any part of the planet to search for anything that could find her parents and landed near her home city, close to the old palace. She got out of the shuttle and took steps on the cold and dead grounds of her beloved home before walking the streets and the places where she grew up while looking on with sadness, her heart broken at seeing so many childhood memories of herself and of her together with Allura... destroyed and reduced to ruins. But what she didn't know... was that she was being watched.

From a distance, 2 Galra scouts were watching as they saw the 1 that they had been waiting weeks to show up. 1 of them smirked as he had his eyes on Haggar and looked at his partner. "Send word to emperor Zarkon. Tell him that his 'high priestess'...has come home." He said with an evil smile, making his partner grin evilly before doing just that.

At Zarkon's ship in his throne room

The evil Galra Emperor was waiting for any clues to find Haggar or Voltran when a call came in from his comlink. He opened the channel and saw one of his best scouts. "Have you found any news on Haggar or Voltran?"

"Yes, my lord. Haggar has just landed on Altea, just as you predicted." The scout said evilly.

This made Zarkon smirk evilly as he stood up. "Keep following her and do not make any move until I arrive with my personal squad. Vrepit Sa"

"Vrepit Sa, my Lord." The scout said before breaking contact with his Lord and Master.

Zarkon then opened another channel to order the bridge to set course for Altea. "Commander!"

The Galra commander was shocked to hear his emperor all of the sudden but recovered soon and saluted. "Yes, Lord Zarkon?"

"Order the fleet to set course for Altea!"

"Yes, my Lord. Setting course now." The commander said as he did what his lord and Master ordered.

Back at Altea

Haggar came upon the old palace of Altea and as she entered the massive castle, she had several memory flashes of her past life that felt so real, she thought it was only yesterday she'd left the planet. Haggar saw the people walking around, talking or performing their duties. She saw her teenage self with Allura who were having a gossip talk about something and giggled at it. It warmed her heart to see these beautiful memories again as she thought of the life that she and Allura could have had if she hadn't left. She walked further inside the castle until she got to Allura's old room and remembered how she spent her last sleepover with her... and their first kiss in this very room.

After looking around the room, Haggar saw Allura's old comlink. She wandered something and walked to the device. It was old and out of service, but Haggar used her magic to get it to work again. The screen turned on and she found out that it had one last recorded face call with Haggar on... the day before the attack on Altea!

"So... Allura and I...talked before Zarkon attacked the planet?" Haggar asked as she struggled to remember what happened that day but couldn't. After that didn't work, she played the record immediately. When Haggar saw the whole message that her younger self told Allura, the memory of that day came back to her and she used her powers to see Allura's side of the last conversation they had together.

Flashback 10'000 years ago the day before Zarkon attacked Altea

It was only early in the morning and Allura was still in deep sleep as her comlink was going off. Allura growled as she annoyingly woke up and walked slowly to the screen and answered the call sleepily. "Hello?"

"Allura? Allura, it's me, Haggar!" The young Altean sorceress said with an excited smile on the screen.

Allura opened 1 of her eyes and when she saw her beloved Haggar, both her eyes went wide and she was no longer sleepy but really woken up with surprise and happiness. "HAGGAR! IT'S YOU! I... I haven't heard from you for so long! How are you?!"

Haggar laughed a bit at her girlfriend's reaction and said. "I'm great, It's so good to see you again." Then she felt ashamed and became sad as a tears fell from her eyes. "I'm sorry that I haven't contacted you in years, but I was so into my studies and my father didn't allow me to have any contact with anyone until he was satisfied with my progress."

"Shhh. Don't cry Haggar, I understand... and I have waited patiently to hear from you, my love." Allura whispered, trying to comfort her 1 and only love.

Haggar smiled as she wiped away her tears and asked with curiosity. "So... you're not...?"

Allura smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm not married or engaged to anyone. I convinced my father that I want to choose my suitor. Trust me, it annoys him still that I haven't picked anyone yet."

Haggar laughed again. "I would have loved to see that." She said, imagining the annoyed look on the Altean King's face at his daughter not picking any suitors due to the fact that she was in love with her.

"I know. So how are you doing now?"

"Great! I'm... actually on my way to Altea"

This got Allura even more surprised, she nearly screamed out in happiness. "You are?!"

Haggar nodded with a smile. "Yes. I'm finally allowed from my father to visit you. And believe me, when I see you again, I am going to stay with you forever, and I don't care what my father says. I've waited to see you for years and I can't bear being away from you for another second."

"I feel the same way, my love. And tonight, I'll have a wonderful surprise for you when we get to be all alone." Allura said while trying to hold her tears. Both lovers touched the screen and smiled to 1 another. "I will be waiting for you... my dear Haggar"

"See you soon, my love. And I can't wait for your wonderful surprise." Haggar said with a romantic smile. Before the call was over, Allura gave a kiss on the screen with Haggar, both eager to see each other again in person.

Flashback end

Haggar sobbed a bit after seeing it the memory ended. "Oh, Allura. If only Zarkon never got to me, we would never have been separated for 10.000 years." However, her sad moment was interrupted when she got a message from the satellite, picking up a trace of what seemed to be the last known location of her parents. Without wasting time, she hurried back to the shuttle and flow to the marked location, which was a few hundred miles from the palace.

Meanwhile at the castle/ship in Allura and Haggar's room

Allura woke up, only to not find Haggar by her side. She sat up and looked around. "Haggar?" She asked with concern, wondering where her lover could be. But then she saw a note on her pillow before taking it in her hands reading it. "My sweet princess Allura, I know I gave you my word I wouldn't go to Altea because of Zarkon. But wanting to know the truth about my parents... made me to break that promise. By the time you are reading this, I will be long gone and on my way to Altea. With any luck, I will finally find the truth of my parents deaths. I know that the first thing you will do is come after me, but I don't want you to follow me. This is something I must do myself. If you, Pidge and the others are angry at my decision, I will do all I can to make it up to you once I have returned. Your darling princess, Haggar."

Allura's eyes went wide she quickly dressed and hurried out of the room and ran to the bridge while calling out. "CORAN! PALADINS!"

When the Paladins heard Allura call out to them, they woke up, thinking that Zarkon was attacking. As soon as they made it to the bridge, Shiro asked. "What's going on!? Are the Galra attacking!?"

"Haggar is gone!" Allura said, panicked as she started the controls to set course for Altea.

"To where?" Coran asked as he came in, still sleepy with his face mask on.

"SHE LEFT FOR ALTEA!" Allura yelled out, shocking everyone wide awake.

"WHAT?!" Pidge yelled out with shock, not believing that her Altean friend would go to Altea after warning her that it could be a trap laid out by Zarkon.

"Coran, set course for Altea! NOW!" Allura ordered her servant/friend, making him nod as he went straight to the controls.

Shiro then faced the other Paladins. "Alright team, suit up!"

All the Paladins went to put on their suits while Allura created a wormhole to head straight to Altea. The Altean princess was not angry, but scared. She knew that something bad was going to happen and she needed to hurry to save her beloved...before Zarkon got his hands on her! "Haggar, please be there... please." She thought to herself with worry.

Back on Altea

Haggar flew to her parents' location, trying to brace herself for what she would find out about them. Had they died of old age? Or did something happen to them? Whatever it was, Haggar got a feeling that she wasn't going to like it. When she neared the marked location, she was shocked to see that it was not an ancient building or a secret base...but a crashed ship...her parents ship!

But Haggar was also confused. "Why did the satellite sense my parents here?" She said to herself. After she landed, she hurried to the old crashed ship that belonged to her family. Even though the ship was thousands of years old, it still looked as her old ship. Haggar entered it and was getting scared of what she would find. She looked in nearly every room in it, but found nothing, only memories. That was when she discovered that the only room left was the bridge. She walked fast towards it and saw that the door was rusted, making it impossible to open with her hands. Haggar used all her magic to crack it open, which it did. And as Haggar entered, she gasped as saw the fossilized remains...of her parents!

Tears fell from Haggar's eyes again as she fell to her knees, close to the remains of her parents. "Mom... Dad... I'm so sorry." She said sadly as she cried her tears out for a few minutes. When she calmed down again, she started to think. "But... why are they here? Zarkon said that..."

It was then that Haggar got a horrible feeling that Zarkon may have lied to her, but there was only 1 way to see the truth. She put her hands on the fossilized skulls of her parents and closed her eyes as she used her new powers to see into the final memories of her parents before they died and why they were in their ship.

Flashback 10'000 years ago

Haggar's parents were blindfolded by Galra soldiers and were being taken away somewhere the Galra didn't want them to know about...yet. "No! Please spare our daughter! We beg you!" Haggar's mother yelled, wanting her daughter soared from whatever Zarkon had planned for her.

"Where are you taking us?! Answer me!" Haggar's father demanded, wanting to know where he and his wife were being taken.

But then he was silenced by a fierce punch in the face. "SILENCE!" A Galra soldier ordered.

After being dragged for what seemed to be forever, Haggar's parents were held on their knees and their blindfolds were removed, shocking them as they saw that they were back in their ship on the bridge. "Wait, why have you brought us here?" Haggar's father asked the soldier, only for the Galra to stay silent. Suddenly, Zarkon entered the bridge, ordering the soldiers to leave them, which they did. When the soldiers left, Zarkon locked the door and looked at Haggar's parents again. "Why have you brought us here, Zarkon?!"

Zarkon chuckled evilly before answering. "To get rid of the last ties that has held your daughter back from gaining her true potential." Both parents looked afraid as Zarkon went on. "Your daughter is far more powerful than you both realized." He said before he saw something in their eyes that he expected to see. "But you already knew and have tried so hard to 'protect' her. Did you think her powers would remain unnoticed forever? The power she possess will be a great asset to my eternal rule over the universe! But unfortunately for you, you won't be alive to see it. 1 of the 3 beings that hold her back will soon be dead, which leaves only the 2 of you. Once you're both dead, Haggar will be under my complete control!" He said evilly before raising his blade to kill Haggar's parents!

"You lied, didn't you?" Haggar's mother asked as she and her husband embraced, now realizing that Zarkon had no intention of letting them live.

"You're right, I did lie." Zarkon said evilly before he dealt the killing blow as Haggar's parents screamed horribly.

Flashback end

At the moment the sword killed them, Haggar screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

The cockpit exploded from the power burst from Haggar. All the emotions that were unleashed after this revelation was too much for her to control that the powerburst even caused an earthquake. She fell on her knees. "No." She cried before looking at her parents one more time with tears flowing from her eyes. She finally knew what happened to them. All this time, Zarkon had lied to her.

Suddenly, Haggar sensed something, a dark and sinister feeling. She looked up and saw Zarkon's flagship entering the Altean atmosphere and It was in that moment that Haggar could feel her anger growing. "Zarkon..." She said as she raised herself. "Zarkon!" Her fury growing as she floated in the air and sparks came from her body as she hovered out of her parents' ship. "Zarkon!" Her eyes glowed white as purple energy surrounded her body. All she wanted now was to kill the one that ruined her life and took everything from her "ZAAAAAAAARKOOOOOOON!" She yelled out as she flew to Zarkon's ship.

Thousands of Galra fighters flew to get to Haggar but were nearly all destroyed by her as she flew up and used her fierce magic to fight back despite being under fire. Even a few Robeasts were destroyed with her electric powers that were even as strong as lighting strikes before she yelled out as she unleashed an explosive wave of power, destroying all the Galra fighters and Robeasts around her. But when the last ship landed in front of a fierce Haggar, dozens of elite Galra soldiers exited…before Zarkon himself appeared.

Meanwhile at the castle/ship just before Haggar's power went out of control

Allura was trying as hard as she could to take the castle to Altea as fast as possible but was getting more worried with every second. "Coran, can't we go any faster!?"

"If we go too fast, princess, the wormhole will take us way too far away and we will miss Altea by billions of light years." Coran answered honestly.

Allura became frustrated that the castle couldn't go any faster. "How much longer until we-" She began to ask but all of the sudden, she felt something mentally, like a painful snap, making her yell in pain as she held one hand on her head but kept the other on the controls. "Aaaahhhh!"

Pidge ran to Allura and put her hands on her back. "Allura, what's wrong?" She asked with concern.

The Altean princess tried to sense what it was and said. "It's... it's Haggar. I felt... pain and anger coming from her."

Pidge and the others didn't knew what she meant, but then remembered how Allura and Haggar had strengthened their mental link and knew that something terrible must have happened to Haggar. Allura put her other hand back on the controls. "Something terrible has happened. We have to hurry!"

Coran became worried as well, for this was not sounding good and told Allura how long it would take to get to Altea. "Just 56 ticks before we make it to Altea, princess." He said with concern, making Allura nod.

"I hope we're not too late." Allura and Pidge thought to themselves, concerned about Haggar.

Back on Altea

Haggar's anger rose at seeing the 1 being in the universe that she hated most and without thinking, she attacked him and his elite soldiers head on. "ZARKON!." She yelled in unbelievable fury.

The elite soldiers fought with all their might against the former high priestess but most were slaughtered by her powerful magic. As she pushed a dead elite soldier aside and attacked Zarkon, the Galra Emperor smirked as he deflected nearly every one of her magic attacks. Haggar even used illusions on him but they had no effect on him. Not long after all that, Zarkon saw an opening in her defense and grabbed her straight at her throat. She struggled to get loose and used all her powers try to kill Zarkon but they made barely any damage to him.

"Enough!" Zarkon said, having had enough of this little game as he used a strong power burst on Haggar.

"AAARRRggghhh.." Haggar screamed as she felt her power drained away. Zarkon let her go while the few remaining elite soldiers restrained her as she became unconsciousness. one of the soldiers injected her with a powerful sedative so she wouldn't be able to escape or move.

Zarkon smirked evilly as he ordered his personal soldiers. "Put her into my ship. We're leaving."

The soldiers obeyed and dragged Haggar inside Zarkon's shuttle and flew back to his main ship. While the giant ship was leaving the planet, Zarkon got a message from one of his officers. "My liege, another ship has entered the system through a wormhole! It's the castle from princess Allura, sir!"

Zarkon then said to the commander. "Prepare for departure, Commander. Voltron will be taken...another time."

"Yes, sir." The Commander said as Zarkon entered the main ship with his vessel before it prepared to enter a wormhole.

Meanwhile with Allura and the Voltran team

Allura and the Paladins saw Zarkon's ship, preparing to leave. "That's Zarkon's flagship and it's about to enter a wormhole!" said Coran as they just entered the Altean system.

Allura and the Paladins had a bad feeling about this but before they could pursue Zarkon, the flagship entered the wormhole and disappeared, making Allura gasp as she froze up in fear as she thought of the possibility of her lover in Zarkon's hands.

Coran then spotted on the sensors that the shuttle Haggar took was still on the planet's surface before he tried to make contact with the Altean sorceress. "Haggar, this is Coran from the castle, do you read me?" He asked, only to receive no response.

But then Pidge saw on her screen 1 of the small satellites she made was still in orbit. "Hey, there's one of the satellites I made! Haggar must have used it, which means we can see what happened down there."

"Can your satellites do that, Pidge?" Lance asked.

"Yeah. I put a recorder on every one of them, just in case." Pidge answered as she connected the small satellite to her computer and played the recording on the big screen.

They saw how Haggar had found her parents ship and were shocked how the cockpit exploded and the earthquake caused by Haggar, but also saw that her parents remains were untouched. They also saw Zarkon's ship had arrived with thousands of Galra soldiers landing and thousands of Galra fighters. But none of the Paladins, nor Corin or Allura could believe their eyes after seeing Haggar's powers and how she slaughtered all the Galra on the planet within minutes.

"My... God..." Shiro said with shock.

Allura couldn't believe how powerful her lover really was, thinking that her magic could be as powerful as Voltran. "I never thought she... was so powerful"

"She must have figured out it was Zarkon that killed her parents all along." Coran theorized. "I mean, why else would her parents ship be on Altea, with her parents remains still in it?"

"Coran could have a point, everyone would be pushed over the edge to find out the horrible truth about who killed their family." Keith said.

But when they saw Haggar fighting Zarkon...and her getting captured, Allura froze again. "They got her... Haggar..." She thought to herself as she could only imagine what would happen to her purple skinned princess. The thought was too much for her that it caused her to faint and fall on the floor.

"Allura!" The team and Coran all yelled as they ran up to the princess.

"She fainted." Coran said with worry.

"Let's take her to her room. You guys try to track Zarkon and I'll stay with Allura until she wakes up." Pidge suggested before she and Keith took the Altean princess to her room until she woke up again.

Shiro and the others knew that they were now in a very difficult situation with Haggar being captured and that they had no idea where Zarkon had taken her. But regardless, they would start looking for a way to find Zarkon and get Haggar back however they could, for the Altean sorceress's sake...and Allura's.

There you go, my friends, the Finding out the Truth chapter is complete. I'd like to give thanks to my good friend, SreznoJIG for coming up with this idea for me, along with the other 2 chapters that will be after this 1. Rate and review. See you soon, my friends.
