The Evil Counterpart

When morning arrived, nearly all the Paladins were in the dining room eating breakfast. Hunk is the last to join, as he was very tired because he had trouble sleeping due to the fact that he'd heard the two Altean lovers making love in their room. The other Paladins were surprised that Hunk was the last to join, for normally he was the first to eat breakfast. As Hunk just took what looked like a bowl of cereal, the others wondered what troubled him, so Shiro asked. "You look very tired, Hunk. Did you get any sleep at all last night?"

Hunk didn't say anything, so Keith asked with concern. "Yeah, you never come late for breakfast. You're not sick, are you?" But still Hunk didn't say anything.

Coran wandered if Hunk was sick, so he got his medical supplies and checked him, while Hunk tried to ignore him. "Have you caught a cold? Where you bitten by a Lugarian slugworm? Or do you have the Menici pocks?" The Keeper of Altea asked while he examined Hunk. But the yellow Paladin just shook his head.

Pidge asked with confusion. "What are Menici pocks, Coran?"

"Oh, those are like red dots all over your belly and back that can cause a person to feel more tired and sleepy." Coran explained.

"You mean like chicken pocks?" Lance asked.

"What are chicken pocks?" Coran asked.

Pidge then explained. "Those are the same like Menici pocks, but back on earth, they cause huge itching over your body."

While the others kept asking questions either to Hunk or Coran, Hunk couldn't handle it anymore and yelled. "I HEARD ALLURA AND HAGGAR HAVING SEX ALRIGHT!".

Everyone was surprised of Hunk's reaction that a short silence filled. Hearing this revelation made Coran drop his jaws and felt even more shocked than how Hunk reacted last night. "Wait... you mean they... Allura and... they did... it, it...?!" Coran was so shocked at this revelation that he fainted and fell on the floor.

Everyone looked at Coran and then all looked to each other, and then to Hunk. "Wait... are you sure that they had sex?" Lance asked his friend.

He nodded a lot and explained how he heard it. "I was taking a snack from the kitchen last night 'cause I was hungry, so after I took something from the fridge that looked like peanuts I decided take the long way back to my room, so I passed by Allura and Haggar's bedroom and there I heard Allura yelling/moaning. 'Oh yes yes yes! Fuck me Haggar!' and 'I'm cumming!'

But without him knowing, Allura and Haggar stood right behind him. For they had just entered the room and heard everything that Hunk said. Both blushed really deeply "Where we really that loud?" Haggar asked Hunk, making him shocked that he didn't expect Haggar or Allura to be right behind him. He nervously turned, but eventually nodded. "Yeah, you both... kinda were."

Seeing Hunk's reaction made the two Altean women giggle. "Sorry that you had to hear that, Hunk" Allura said while still giggling.

Then Haggar said to her lover "Maybe we should make the walls in our room soundproof so they don't hear us next time we have fun."

Allura nodded, but then both lovers saw Coran passed out on the floor. "What happened to Coran?" She asked the Paladins.

"He fainted after hearing you both were having sex" Lance explained.

Coran woke up at that moment asking while rubbing his head. "Ugh... what happened?"

"You fainted after hearing that Allura and Hagger had sex last night." Pidge said, which made Coran shocked again.

Haggar then asked him with a fierce look on her face as she grabbed him by the shirt. "What's the matter, Coran? Does it bother you that much?"

Coran was getting really nervous and tried to explain nervously. "Bother me?! Oh, ehh... well..." He then sighed as he stood up. "I guess you already heard how I reacted when I heard from Allura that you 2 are a couple?"

Haggar nodded, still looking angry at Coran. "Yes. Including the part where you said that it is Allura's 'duty' to marry a prince and carry on the family line."

Allura was worried that Haggar would do something to Coran, but her servant/friend then said he was sorry. "Look, Haggar... I'm sorry, for what I said to Allura... and about you. I know now how how you both care for each other and...even though it is against Altean culture, and my better judgement, I'm willing to try to accept that you are together."

This made Haggar smile as she let go of the Keeper of Altea. "Thanks, Coran. But...if you are anyone else tries anything to break me and my sweet princess apart, I won't hesitate to defend our love, even if I have to take drastic measures. And, of course, there's still the option for us to run away together, as Allura said.

Coran sweat nervously as he said to Haggar and Allura. "Yeah, well... just give me some time to get used to it first, okay?"

Both Haggar and Allura smiled and nodded, glad that Coran apologized for his behavior and that he was willing to try to accept her and Allura being a couple. As both Altean women sat down at the table to eat some breakfast, Pidge whispered to Haggar. "I'll make some modifications to your room to make it soundproof, that way you and Allura can have fun without freaking anyone out again."

Haggar smiled and rubbed her earth friend's hair. "Thanks Katie, we'd appreciate that."

A few days later on Zarkon's flagship

An informant of the Galra had just arrived on Zarkon's ship to deliver important information of Voltran's current whereabouts. When he got there, he was brought into a room by two Galra soldiers and saw a dark cloaked and hooded figure. "Why am I being brought here? Why can't I see the emperor as I was always allowed?"

"SILENCE!" The voice of the dark hooded figure yelled. The informant had heard that voice before as the hooded figure turned, revealing Dark Haggar. The informant had met Haggar before, but this one looked far different. She wore a pure black cloak and had raven hair and black and red eyes that made him very nervous.

With her serious face, Dark Haggar faced the informant. "You had important information to share?"

While the informant was still nervous, he nodded. "Yes... high priestess, Haggar. I-"

"MY NAME... IS DARK HAGGAR!" The dark counterpart yelled out in rage.

The informant immediately apologized while sweating. "Y-yes, of course, Dark Haggar. As..I was about to say, I know the location of Voltran."

But when he was about to give the information on a disc, Dark Haggar put her hand on his head, looking into his memories with her magic, which made him hurt a lot. After a minute of looking into his memories, she let go of the informant before he dropped to his knees and panted as he looked at the evil counterpart, who smirked evilly. "Thank you for sharing this information with me."

Now the informant was really scared, horrified at who this was. "Who... what are you?"

"The very thing that the original Haggar never embraced. But that's none of your business. I see you look for a reward, right?" Haggar asked, having something still in mind for the informant.

The informant stood up and nodded. "Yes, I am. I presume you know my usual price?"

"Follow me." Haggar told the informant, who did just that.

Not long after, the evil dark half of the original Haggar pointed him to go through an entrance that she opened. "Your reward is right in there."

The informant smirked as he thought he would be paid, but was curious as to why he wouldn't be paid right now. "Why am I being paid in there?"

"It's a new security protocol, 'informant'. Something that this place needed."

He understood and went through the door, but was surprised that it was an exit to an airlock. He turned at the moment when Dark Haggar used her dark powers to close the door and heard a computer voice. "OPENING AIR LOCK IN 15 CLICKS!"

This made the informant horrified and banged on the door. "HEY! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!"

Then he heard Dark Haggar's voice in his head. 'Do you think you can fool the Galra Empire!? I saw in your mind that you're not only sell information to Zarkon, but also to some resistance movements! I think... we would be better off without your services'.

The informants eyes went wide, as he knew what was about to happen as the computer spoke again. "OPENING AIR LOCK IN 5... 4... 3..."

The informant begged for mercy as he banged on the door, not wanting to die. "NO! PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS! I-" But then the airlock opened, sucking the informant into the vacuum of space, killing him within a minute.

Dark Haggar watched from a window with an evil grin as the informant flew away into outer space. She then contacted Zarkon through her comlink. "My Lord, I have the location of Allura's castle."

"Well done, my new high priestess. Assemble your forces and attack them at once!"

Dark Haggar was surprised that her master ordered her to assemble her own forces, but then smirked. "So, I am allowed to lead them?"

"Yes. I want to show the Paladins what you are capable of, Dark Haggar. Destroy the castle and kill them all! But bring the Loins to me, in one piece. I want Voltron."

"As you wish, master." Dark Haggar said evilly before she started to assemble many ships and specialized armor for herself. "Soon Haggar, you will regret rejecting me."

Meanwhile at the castle/ship

The Paladins, Coran and the Altean lovers were having a great time celebrating their victory on rescuing Haggar. Lance was showing his DJ moves on the modified music device. The Alteans thought it looked weird how humans made music on Earth, but Lance did make some great songs.

As the Paladins started dancing on Lance's music, Allura and Haggar joined in and actually had fun. It reminded the two Altean lovers of when they were still teenagers on Altea. "Hahahaha! I haven't had this much fun like forever!" Haggar said with an excited voice.

Then Pidge pressed some buttons on her computer and said. "Oh yeah? Check this out!"

Suddenly, the lights were giving a great light show in different colors.

"That's what I'm talking about, Pidge!" Lance called out to Pidge as the light show did the final trick.

Coran was so into it that he overreacted with his dance moves, resulting in some strange looks from the others, but they laughed about it anyway. Later on, Keith and Hunk were having a drinking contest. After 7 drinks, Hunk surprisingly won as Keith was knocked out because of the Altean alcoholic drinks. Hunk cheered victorious like a wild animal. But thankfully to Haggar's magic, Keith recovered but now suffered a hangover already.

Meanwhile, Pidge and Lance were playing a new video game called; Dance battle 5, that they had just purchased. They installed it in the main room of the castle for the party. As the others were enjoying the many snacks that Hunk had made, the video game caught Haggar's attention somehow as she watched how Pidge and Lance pressed their feet on some sort of carpet with arrows on it. She paid close attention and began to get an idea of how to play it.

A few minutes later, Pidge had lost to Lance with a 132 points difference. "Ah man! You beat me again!" Pidge said with disappointment while Lance was doing his victory dance.

"There's only one champion of this game, Pidge, and that's me." He said, gloating over his victory.

Haggar didn't like seeing her female Paladin friend disappointed. She came to them and asked. "Can I play against you next, Lance?"

This surprised Lance and Pidge, but the Green Paladin didn't mind as she let her Altean friend play, having heard Haggar's voice in her head that she'd try to beat Lance to stop his gloating."Sure, go ahead."

Lance put the game on easy mode, since Haggar had never played video games before in her life. "Okay, since it is you're first time, I'll go easy on you, Haggar." He said before Haggar shrugged as Lance picked a song on easy mode.

As they played it, Haggar got the hang of it quickly and when the game ended, Lance and Haggar had the same score as the game said loudly. "TIE! NICE MOVES!"

Lance clapped sarcastically for Haggar. "Alright. Not bad for a beginner." Haggar did not liked how Lance was being sarcastic to her as Lance then smirked and asked. "Wanne take it to the next level?"

Haggar sensed that Lance wanted to push her limits on this, so she then said. "Put it on the hardest level."

This surprised Lance, but then he laughed. "You're sure you want to do that? Nobody can beat up my high score, you know? Pidge has been been trying over a hundred times...without success."

Hagger wanted to prove him wrong and wanted to challenge him to defend Katie and humiliate Lance a little. "What about we do a bet on this?"

This interested Lance. "I'm listening."

"If I beat your 'high score', then you... give Coran a foot massage and never gloat at winning again."

Coran had heard that and liked the sound of that while it disgusted Lance. "And... what if I win?"

"Then you... get a kiss, from me and Allura." Haggar answered.

Allura had heard it and walked to Haggar saying. "Hang on a second, Haggar! I'm not going to-"

But Haggar put her finger on Allura's mouth and smiled to her while giving a wink. And through their mental link, Allura heard that she should trust Haggar. Allura gave a small smile as she nodded and then looked at Lance. "Okay, Lance. If you win, we'll give you a kiss."

Now Lance was eager to win. "Then I suggest you should already prepare yourselves to give this handsome man a good kiss, ladies." He finished as he prepared the game on very hard mode.

Their wager got the attention of everyone else as they gathered to see if Haggar could prove Lance wrong that she could beat his high score. Pidge was nervous and whispered to Allura. "This is crazy, Allura. She'll never be able to beat his high score."

"Don't worry, Katie. You have to trust Haggar on this." Allura said to her friend. Coran was also hoping that Haggar would win this as she claimed she could, as he was eager to get that foot massage.

Lance then started the game. "You are going down, Haggar!"

Haggar then countered confidently. "You...wish, as you humans say on Earth."

Both players had to press the buttons really quickly as they saw how fast the song was going. The first minute of the game, both had the same score as they simultaneously pressed the right buttons. "Come on, Haggar! You can do it!" Pidge yelled, rooting for her Altean friend.

The game began to go faster. As both players were sweating, but were not going to give up. But slowly, Lance was having a more difficult to keep up, while Haggar wasn't slowing down and was so very focused on this. Lance was missing some buttons and started losing points. "NO NO NO NO NO!"

When the song had finally finished, Haggar had won and beat Lance's score with 3400 points more than him. "PLAYER TWO WINS! NEW HIGH SCORE!" the game said loud.

All the Paladins cheered for Haggar before Allura hugged her lover, along with Pidge. "You did it!" They both said with happiness.

Haggar said through their mental link. 'Told you that you should trust me on this'.

Lance fell on his knees, not believing that Haggar had beat his score. Then Pidge said to the blue Paladin teasingly. "Oh, Lance, Coran is waiting for a foot massage."

Not long after that, Lance put on some gloves and a gas mask over his face, since Coran's feet smelled. Coran lied down on the coach as Lance gave him a foot massage. "Be careful around the toes there." The Keeper of Altea told Lance.

All the others tried hard to hold their laughs of how Lance was forced to massage Coran's foot. The servant/friend of Allura then looked to Haggar and gave her a friendly smile, in a way to thank her for this. Haggar nodded, as she felt that Coran deserved something like this, after helping the Paladins and Allura rescuing her.

While Lance still did the foot massage, Pidge took over the DJ place and played a romantic song for her Altean friends as a way of thanking them for defending her. Haggar reached her hand to Allura and asked. "Would you like to take this dance with me, my love?"

Allura gave her lover a smile as she took her hand. "I'd love too, my darling princess."

As they danced on the slow music, both held each other close as the other Paladins just watched them dance letting them have this romantic moment together. "Just like our 1st date, my darling princess." Allura whispered softly with a smile.

"Indeed it is, my sweet princess, except for now, we don't have to hide our love anymore. It feels really good to not keep any more secrets. And when this war is over, we'll be free to live the life we've always dreamed of." Haggar said sweetly.

As the song ended, both Altean lovers softly kissed, making all the Paladins smile at seeing them so happy together. Coran looked on as well, as he felt somehow more acceptable to them being together and mentally said to himself. 'Maybe... they are meant for each other?'

1 hour later

Haggar fell on the bed in her and Allura's room, sighing with content as Allura sat down next to her. "That was great. I have to admit, our human friends sure know how to have a party."

"They sure do, my darling princess." Allura said with a smile as they cuddled close to each other, with the pet mice joining them. As they were playing with the mice, Allura then said softly to her lover. "That was a sweet thing you did for Coran back there, and pretty funny how you humiliated Lance like that."

Both lovers laughed at how it annoyed Lance so much of being defeated in his own game and was forced to give the Altean servant a foot massage. Haggar then said. "Well, these 'video games' that the humans call them, are sure entertaining and fun to play. But I think it's better that I'm not gonna play on it too much."

"Why not?" Allura wandered as she rubbed her darling princess' red marks with her index fingers.

Haggar then started to explain. "Well, I looked into Lance and Katie's minds and I saw that the people on earth play these games so much that they are addicted to it, so much that they simply... don't have a life at all."

This sounded horrible to Allura. "That's terrible."

Haggar nodded, showing that she wanted nothing to get in the way of their love and romance, but then said with a smile. "But I sure won't hesitate whenever Katie will ask me to join, or Lance demanding a rematch, so I can humiliate him again." That last part came with a smirk before the Altean lovers laughed, imagining Lance's face at being defeated by Haggar again.

Then Haggar kissed Allura on the cheek and then down to her neck, making her chuckle. "I think I know where this is going, my darling princess."

"Yes, my sweet princess, I want us to have sex again. Our 1st time just felt so great that I can't wait any longer to do it again. But before we make love, tell me: was that the wonderful surprise you had for me when I was coming back to Altea 10'000 years ago?" Haggar asked as she stopped kissing Allura long enough to ask her the question.

Allura smiled before kissing her Haggar with intense fire before breaking the kiss to answer. "Of course, my darling princess. When you told me you were coming back to me that day, I was preparing to give my body to you, to show you that I loved you and only you and that I was yours and yours alone. I even told everyone, even my father to not disturb us because I was planning on that night being the most romantic of both our lives. But when I heard what happened to you, that wonderful night was ruined for me that I didn't want to do anything else but find out what happened to you and possibly find a way to bring you back to me. And if I'd known what Zarkon was doing to you, I would have used every resource in the Altean army to get you back, no matter what it took."

This warmed Haggar's hearts so greatly that she wrapped her arms around her princess' waist and began kissing her with love and lust. The pet mice gave the two lovers some privacy by leaving the room as Allura then put her arms around Haggar's neck and started tongue kissing her, which her lover gladly returned. Both started to moan as their kiss became more passionate and lustful. But before they could do more, Haggar suddenly stopped and looked to her left as she sensed something dark and cold.

"What is it, Haggar?" Allura asked with concern and worry.

"I sense something... something dark... and cold." She said before her eyes went wide. " And it's coming straight here!"

And at that same moment, the alarm went off, warning everyone of an incoming attack! Allura and Haggar jumped from their bed and ran to the bridge, with the Paladins suiting up and coming to the bridge as well. In a few minutes, Everyone made it to the bridge, seeing Coran panicked while pressing some buttons. "Coran, what's going on!?" Allura asked her friend/servant.

"THE GALRA! THEY HAVE FOUND US!" Everyone was shocked to hear that before Allura went to the controls and activated all the weapon and defensive systems while Haggar helped Coran.

Suddenly, a fleet of over 100 Galra ships entered out of lightspeed, together with a massive dreadnought that was 20 times bigger than a Galra ship. "Holy shit! That ship is massive, almost as big as Zarkon's ship!" Lance said as he was nonplussed of the size of this giant ship.

"This must be a new type of Galra ship." Coran said as this kind of Galra ship was not on any data on the Galra fleet.

The Paladins went to their positions as Shiro said. "Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!" That made Allura nod as she prepared to fire the weapons.

But something was not right. All the guns of the Galra were pointed to them but they didn't fire, nor any of the fighters were launched. "What's going on? Why aren't they attacking us?" Hunk wandered.

"No idea, but I got a bad feeling about this." Keith said while the other Paladins nodded.

Haggar was sensing that same feeling... coming from the Galra dreadnought. "Watch yourselves everyone. I sense something powerful... coming from that giant ship."

"Whatever it could be, it still won't be a match for Voltran." Lance said confidently, but Haggar was not so sure.

Coran then saw on his screen that the dreadnought was hailing them. "Allura, the Galra are hailing us."

Everyone was really getting suspicious, because for the Galra, it was always 'shoot first, ask questions later'. But still Allura wanted to know who they were up against. "Open the channel, Coran."

Coran nodded and pressed a button, answering the 1 that contacted them on the main screen and to everyone's shock, it was someone who was looking just like Haggar and had the same red marks on her cheeks, but had raven black hair and black-red eyes. Haggar gasped as she looked like the 1 that haunted in her mind when she was tortured by Zarkon. "It... can't be.

"So, we meet at last, Team Voltron." Dark Haggar spoke. "You may see me as the 1 you have on your team, and you may be correct, though we have far different personalities."

"Who are you!? Another of Zarkon's illusions!?" Allura demanded to know who this person was, as she looked identical to Haggar.

Dark Haggar evilly chuckled. "I am the new high priestess of Zarkon, the very darkness that you're 'lover' refused to embrace and far more powerful than any of you can possibly imagine. If you fight, all of you will die here, but if you surrender Voltron now, then maybe I'll spare your lives."

Haggar could sense that this 'new high priestess' was lying and the others didn't buy anything that this 'fake' Haggar was saying to them either. Shiro then said to her. "You'll have to fight us if you ever want Voltran, witch!"

"You damn right! We won't give up Voltran to you!" Pidge added.

"Yeah, bring it on!" Hunk said.

"We won't trust you or the Galra with anything!" Keith said.

"You will be dead yourself before you can even get your hands on the Lions!" Lance said as well.

Dark Haggar smirked at that. "So be it."

The channel closed and all the Galra fighters were launched, attacking the castle. The shields held while Allura returned fire. Shiro then said to the other Paladins. "Everyone, to your Lions!" The other Paladins all nodded, rushed to the hanger, entered their Lions and attacked the fighters.

The battle was intense as the Paladins fought all the Galra fighters with their Lions, while the Galra ships and dreadnought focused all their firepower on the castle. Allura was able to keep the shields up and fired back, but it had only little effect. Coran was trying to increase the power. But Haggar was still shocked after seeing the same shade that tortured her mind while she was imprisoned by Zarkon, now having her own body. All the sounds around her from the battle fell on deaf ears to her as she saw the visions of this evil version through her mind. 'It can't be... it can't be.' Was all that she mentally said to herself. She looked at how the Paladins struggled against the fighters before she was brought back to reality by Coran, who yelled to her.

"Haggar! We need your magic to increase the power!"

Haggar looked at Coran, still shocked. But this was no time to be thinking because she knew she had to help. Her face turned serious and she nodded as she used her powers to increase the power of the castle. Allura fired the castle's lasers at the Galra ships, destroying a dozen of them.

But the lasers had no effect on the dreadnought. "The shields of that ship are too strong!" Allura yelled, seeing that the armor on the new ship was too strong for the weapons, even with her lover's magic.

Haggar sensed that it was the result of dark magic that provided power to their shields. "Allura, it's... that other version off me! She's using her magic to deflect the lasers!"

"Hold on! How do you know if that woman is even a DIFFERENT version of yourself!?" Coran asked.

Haggar said back seriously. "I... I don't know, alright! I just... feel it somehow, but I hope it's not true."

Allura then knew that the lasers of the dreadnought would knock out the castle's shields fast. She called all the Paladins on the comlink. "Paladins! You need to knock out those lasers from that giant Galra ship, or the castle won't hold much longer!"

Shiro nodded and called the others back from fighting the fighters. "Alright Allura, we'll handle their lasers! Everyone, we need to attack the big guy here!"

All the Paladins agreed and went together to attack the dreadnought as Shiro ordered. "Form Voltron!"

After forming Voltron, the Paladins used its sword to destroy the dreadnought's lasers, saving the castle and the 3 Alteans. Allura then contacted the Paladins again. "Thank you, Paladins. You keep attacking the giant one, we'll take care of the other ships!"

Meanwhile on the dreadnought's bridge

Dark Haggar saw how Voltron destroyed their frontal lasers before 1 commander said. "Dark Haggar, they knocked out all our frontal lasers!" He informed the new high priestess. But she kept looking at the screen, not losing her sight from Voltron. "D-Dark Haggar?" the commander asked again.

Then Dark Haggar looked evilly to him, making him scared while she ordered. "Prepare my armor, commander. I'll take care of the Paladins... myself." She smirked as the commander nodded and pressed some buttons to prepare her armor. Dark Haggar then teleported herself to 1 of the hangers and was inside a giant robotic armor. ( The was something similar to Zarkon's armor) and activated it by using her dark magic.

Meanwhile on the castle/ship

Haggar used her magic to increase the firepower of the castle's lasers and was able to destroy another dozen of Galra ships as the Castle's shields were able to hold off all the fighters attacks. Then Haggar sensed trouble beforeShe pressed a button to get a look at 1 of the dreadnought's hangers and saw a machine in the form of a giant monster leaving to attack Voltron. Her eyes went wide as she sensed that her evil version inside it before she contacted her Paladin friends. "Paladins, something is coming your way!"

Keith saw it and said to the others. "She's right! It's another one of those robotic monsters from Zarkon!"

Everyone saw the monster coming, but Haggar then called out to them. "Be careful, Paladins! That evil witch is controlling it and she's more powerful than you think she is."

The Paladins saw it was firing a dark energy beam at them. They used Voltron's shield but it could barely hold as they were knocked back. "Hunk, we need your giant blaster now!" Shiro called.

Hunk nodded and activated the giant laser to fire back. But as soon as it fired on the robotic armor, it teleported behind them. "What the!?" Lance yelled as Dark Haggar fired another energy beam on Voltron, nearly knocking them out. The Paladins kept trying to fire back or use their shield against its energy beams, but nothing worked.

Coran was shocked to see how powerful this witch was. "By the elders, I've never seen this much power before! It's like Voltron is no match for 'it'!" He said with shock, making Allura and Haggar just look at each other, knowing that the castle was hopelessly outmatched to help their friends.

Shiro then called to the other Paladins. "Quickly! Separate now, before she destroys us!"

The others nodded and Voltron quickly separated back into the five Lions. "Keep your distance and engage!" Shiro ordered the others.

Keith was getting frustrated as his direct attacks just went into thin air. "Damn it! It's like nothing hurts it!" Before the Red Paladin was knocked back by Dark Haggar's energy beam.

"KEITH!" All the others yelled out of concern for their friend.

Keith was still okay, but the Red Lion was offline. "I'm alright, but my Lion won't respond!"

Lance rushed to his friend's aid then took the Red Lion back to the castle. "Don't worry, I got you, buddy!"

Shiro then said to Pidge and Hunk. "Alright listen, that robotic armor is to powerful to face head on! Destroy the other Galra ships, and keep away from that armor as long as you can!" Making Hunk and Pidge nod before they engaged the other Galra ships.

The Blue Lion had brought the Red Lion inside the castle's hanger. "Are you okay, Keith?" Lance called out.

Keith nodded. "Yeah, don't worry about me. Just go and help the others, I'll join you as soon as I can."

Lance nodded as he left with the Blue Lion to get back into the fight. The Paladins were able to destroy some more Galra ships and fighters but had trouble avoiding Dark Haggar's attacks as she was now behind the Green Lion!

Pidge had difficulty avoiding the dark energy blasts as she called out to the others. "She's right behind me! I can't shake her off! Hunk, Shiro you gotta help me here!" But just then, a heavy punch from Dark haggar's armor knocked the Green Lion into a hord of Galra fighters.

"KATIE!" Both Allura and Haggar yelled out to their friend before they saw Dark Haggar keep punching and firing energy blasts to the Green Lion.

"Katie, NO!" Allura yelled as her friend was being slaughtered.

Haggar could no longer watch this, as she knew that she had to help Pidge and the others. She then called to Coran. "Coran! Prepare my fighter, I'm going there to help them!" Making him Coran nod before he pressed some buttons to prepare 'The Voltron Fighter'.

Just as Haggar wanted to teleport herself to the hangar, Allura tried to stop her. "No, Haggar! I'm going with you!" She said, wanting to go with her darling princess.

But Haggar protested against it. "No, Allura! you need to keep controlling the castle! I'll go."

Allura knew that this was no time to argue and kissed her lover 1 more time. "Be careful, my darling princess, I don't want to lose you again."

Haggar nodded and teleported herself to the Hangar. Keith saw her entering Pidge's experimental fighter and called out to her. "Haggar, what are you doing!? You and Pidge haven't even tested the Voltron fighter yet!"

"Then i'm testing it now, Keith!" Haggar called back as she used her magic to activate the fighter and left the hanger to rescue her earth friend that was beginning to become like a sister to her and Allura.

With Pidge/Katie

The Green Lion was offline and still being attacked by Dark Haggar. Hunk and Shiro tried to help, but their attacks were hopeless. Pidge knew she was out of options as she saw how the robotic armor was ready to deliver the final blow. She knew that this was it... that this was the end for her. A tear came from her right eye as she closed her eyes tightly.

But then, Haggar fired a strong blue energy beam on Dark Haggar, hitting the robotic armor straight on and knocked her back to a Galra ship! This caught Dark Haggar by surprise before became furious as she started to attack the Voltron fighter!

As Shiro and Hunk helped Pidge, they saw Haggar battling the robotic armor of the evil witch. Haggar and Dark Haggar fired multiple energy beams, both equally strong. Dark Haggar was smirking as she had desired this moment for so long.

Haggar was nearly out of options as she couldn't pass the robotic armor's defenses. "Damn it! Why won't it work!?" But then she remembered the emergency booster engines that Pidge had installed and thought of a plan while avoiding the robotic armor's attacks. As she saw that the dreadnought was preparing to attack the castle again. She knew the time was right and made a 90 degree twist with the robotic armor head on! She waited till she was closer before she pressed the emergency booster engines button!

The Voltron fighter pushed the Robotic armor so far away with it, heading right for the dreadnought as Haggar put a protection spell over herself. Time was slowing down as the armor hit the dreadnought before Haggar flew through the glass cockpit window and burst herself right through the armor, taking the dark witch with her into the dreadnought, destroying the Voltron fighter and the robotic armor in the process

Allura looked shocked as she saw what Haggar did. "HAGGAR!" She yelled out with concern for her 1 and only love. For a moment she thought she was dead, but through her mental link with Haggar, she sensed she was still alive and was now inside the dreadnought.

Apparently, Haggar had dragged the evil witch through dozens of walls and was now hurt on the floor inside a giant room at the end fallen debris where Dark Haggar lied under it.

Haggar woke up, finding herself inside the dreadnought and smiled a bit to herself, as she knew that her attack had worked. Using her power, she slowly stood up and removed the debris out of the way with her magic, but saw that the evil witch was gone!

Haggar looked around to where that 'thing' was. Before she heard evil laughing around her, then from another direction and then above, making her take a few steps back. "Where are you!?"

"I'm right here!" Dark Haggar yelled, as she was right in front of her. The evil counterpart pushed Haggar far back to the wall of the room, hurting her as she hit the wall as the dark figure approached her good counterpart.

Haggar used all her magic to battle this evil being, but Dark Haggar deflected all her power like it was nothing. Then Haggar floated in the air, with purple lighting going through her body and charged at the evil being! The fight was intense, with both trying to gain the upper hand. Galra soldiers tried to help their new High Priestess but Haggar was able to kill them all fast! Until after a strong powerburst, both sorceresses were pushed back to an opposite wall!

Both slowly stood up as Haggar wanted to know who this 'fake' Haggar was."Who are you!?"

The evil witch evilly laughed. "Don't you know, Haggar? I am you...!"

Haggar's eyes went wide, but then she didn't want to believe that this other Haggar was her. "You're lying! You can't be me!"

Allura could hear them talking, through her lovers connection and was just as shocked as Haggar. "Could that fake Haggar really be...the evil that was inside of my darling princess?"

Again Dark Haggar laughed. "You can't deny it, Haggar. I have always been there in deepest parts of your soul. When you first embraced the power of the darkness 10.000 years ago when you created the Quintessence for Zarkon the first time, you also created me!"

Haggar then thought about the nightmares that she sometimes had when she served under Zarkon, the voices that she heard. "Could it really be true?"

Dark Haggar smirked. "So, you do remember? Good"

"But... how?! How is this even possible?!"

"Simple really, when you were still being held in captivity by Zarkon and tortured to return to his side, I knew that I had to convince you to return to his side."

"Why!?" Haggar demanded.

"The power that you've had since you were born, the power that surpasses even beyond Voltron! Of course, because I wasn't at full strength, I could only speak to you sometimes. And when you returned to the light, all in the name of love for your precious Allura, I thought I lost all my chances to control you. But then, you unleashed your true power, when you discovered that it was Zarkon who killed your parents. And in the process, you not only unlocked your true potential but also finally gave me the power I needed to be at full strength."

But then Dark Haggar became furious. "But then, when I offered you all this power, you turned your back on me! Together, we could have been more powerful than ever before! We could have been the 1 to kill Zarkon and his pathetic empire and eventually rule the universe and even beyond! WITH ME, YOU WOULD HAVE BECOME A GODDESS!"

Haggar scowled because this evil witch had offered her to rule over all life in the universe. "That's what you desire, not me! Now tell me, WHO ARE YOU!?"

"Like I said before, Haggar. I am the very thing you refused to become, the very thing you rejected. I am... Dark Haggar! Born from the power that you've had since you were born, the darkness that you denied, and now... I have my own body, thanks to your blood."

Haggar looked shocked as Dark Haggar mentioned that she was able to have her own body thanks to her blood, before she started to remember when they took a blood sample from her before she was saved by Allura and the Paladins. "No."

Dark Haggar evilly chuckled. "Yes, Haggar. I was cloned from your DNA. When you refused to join me, I took my chance to split a part of my soul in to the blood that was taken from you, and now I am alive and stronger than ever before! Even stronger than you and Voltron! You could have had all of this, Haggar, if you would have not been so selfish and just joined me, but now you have made me very angry! Now... I am going to destroy everything that you love. And as for your precious Allura, I'm going to finish her, nice and slow."

This made Haggar furious, as more and more power went through her body. But this is what Dark Haggar wanted. "Yes... show me your power, Haggar. Show me what you're trust capable of."

Haggar's eyes went pure white and purple lighting went through her body as she yelled at the top of her lungs. "AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Haggar charged on Dark Haggar, draging her through every wall until they were out of the dreadnought in the vacuum of space!

Dark Haggar then powered up to her full power and both her and the original Haggar fought with all their magic against each other, firing both black-dark and purple-white energy beams and blasts! Without thinking, they even destroyed what was left of the Galra fleet! Then Dark Haggar fired her greatest power against Haggar, with Haggar firing back. But Haggar could not stop it and was pushed far back before Dark Haggar then punched and kicked with all her magic at Haggar, until she could barely move.

Allura looked horrified. "HAGGAR! NO!"

Haggar was nearly motionless as Dark Haggar held her by the collar of her suit. "This universe is too small for 2 Haggar's!" She said as fired lots of dark-red lighting at Haggar, making her scream in pain.

"AAAAAAARGH!"

When Dark Haggar stopped, she said while charging her finishing move. "Farewell, my weak counterpart!"

But then, the evil counterpart was pushed aside by a direct hit from Voltron's sword. The Paladins managed to form Voltron again and came to rescue Haggar. "Now Hunk! Fire at will!" Shiro screamed to Hunk to fire the big laser gun. Hunk did just that and all the blasts directly hit on Dark Haggar until the last 1 blow her back into one of the last Galra ships!

"Alright, now separate and return to the castle! Pidge, you get Haggar!" Shiro ordered, making Pidge nod before she took Haggar with her as the rest of the Lions went back to the castle.

Coran was worried for Haggar as he looked at Allura. "Is Haggar?"

Allura could sense she was alive, but was worried for her as well. "No, she's still alive...but barely."

As all the Paladins were back inside the castle with their Lions, Shiro called to Allura. "Allura, create a wormhole, quickly!" Allura nodded and quickly created a wormhole to escape the Galra.

Dark Haggar had just stood up, seeing the castle with the paladins and Haggar attempting to flee.

The evil witch was now even more furious than ever before and fired a dark energy beam at the portal."YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE ME, HAGGAR! NEVER!"

As the beam hit the portal, the castle had just entered it but instead of blue, it was now red. The whole castle was shaking and was losing control. "Coran, what's happening?" Shiro asked, wanting to know what was happening.

Coran answered. "The integrity of the wormhole has been compromised. It's breaking down."

"What does that mean?!" Lance asked.

"It means we have no control over where we're headed!" Coran answered in a panick.

A strong shake caused the Loins to be sucked out of the hanger into the red-dark walls of the portal they went through and Allura looked shocked, as she could do nothing as the Loins were vanishing. "They've vanished through the temporal rift! The Lions are Gone! Haggar... HAGGAR!" She said with concern for her lover, Katie and the other Paladins.
