Code of Honor

On a watery planet

The Galra cruiser Beta 9 was docking with the underwater base, which had a priority 1 level shipment coming in. But unknown to them, 3 Blade of Marmora agents were spying on them close by, looking to gather Intel.

As the leader looked at the shipment, which was a vast amount of quintessence, he was surprised. "That's impossible. We destroyed the Cumar. How are the Galra still producing vast amounts of quintessence?" He asked before instructing his agents. "Find out where it's coming from and where it's going. Get a reading on that shipment." Before he told the agent on his right. "Remember: this is purely intelligence gathering. Do not engage." Getting a nod from him before he went to do his part.

While the agent with the tail was downloading data from the control center, while being unnoticed because the 1 in there was sleeping on the job, the other agent was getting a reading on the quintessence shipment, getting off the charts readings that the leader was shocked at seeing.

But before anything else could be done, a droid guard came by before the agent, threw his blade into it, making it fire multiple laser blasts into the air as it fell!

The leader saw the blasts and told his agents. "The Op is compromised! Abort! Extraction point in 2 minutes! This is a hard out!" He said before the agents began aborting the Op, with the 1 who got the reading on the quintessence easily dealing with 4 more droids while avoiding their laser blasts.

In the Blade of Marmora boarding ship

The leader had gotten to the ship before the smallest 1 ran inside. "He's not back?" He asked the leader, referring to the 3rd agent.

"He's got 30 seconds." The leader said, making the agent run after him. "Begin preparations for takeoff." He ordered the pilot, making him do just that. And just in the nick of time, the agent jumped in before the doors closed, with the other agent before the ship took off.

While Keith patted, he asked about Regris' condition. "Will he be alright?"

"You broke protocol." Kolivan told him.

Keith took off his mask. "I had to."

Kolivan, who took off his mask as well, became more serious as Keith was in his eyes acting reckless. "You didn't consider that something could've happened to you. That would make 2 men down instead of 1. Every member of the Blade of Marmora understands that the mission is more important than the individual. This isn't Voltron."

Keith sighed. "I understand that," But then said he didn't screw up anything. "In Voltron, we would've gone back in to save Regris. I went back to save the mission. Regris had the intel." Keith handed over the datapad to Kolivan. "Getting him and it back on the ship was worth the risk."

Though Kolivan felt that Keith had a point, he knew that Keith still had much to learn.

A few hours later

Keith had returned to Okarion and entered the Castle, going over to the bridge where Shiro was looking at a holographic screen showing several refugee ships and the Lions.

Shiro saw Keith entering the bridge. "Keith, glad that you're back. The team's on a mission to escort refugees out of the Fimm system."

"Would they need any help?" Keith wondered, thinking he and Shiro could help with their Voltron fighter.

Shiro shook his head, ensuring Keith. "No. Haggar and the others are handling it perfectly alone." Then Shiro asked him as Keith looked very seriously. "Anything you want to share?"

Keith nodded. "Yes. I think we just discovered a new form of quintessence. The readings are off the charts. Kolivan says it could be linked to Lotor."

Shiro gave a nod. "Okay, we'll discuss it when the team has returned, since Haggar is the expert when it comes to quintessence."

Keith crossed his arms as he joined Shiro in monitoring the team's mission on Fimm, feeling some worry and frustration. "Lotor hasn't been seen in months. With this new intel we could finally track him down."

Shiro placed his hand on his shoulder. "Perhaps. But like I said, we'll wait for the team to return."

Keith nodded and checked how he could help Shiro.

Several hours later, team Voltron had returned to Okarion with all the refugee ships and helped them to land safely. Once Haggar had exited the Black Lion, Keith shared with her the intel he and the Blade of Marmora had about the new form of quintessence, which caught her by surprise.

On the bridge, Haggar kept checking all the intel, staring with wide eyes at the readings on the monitor while Katie and Allura watched the readings with her.

"By the ancients... I've never seen this kind of quintessence before." Haggar said before she frowned. "Whatever kind of quintessence this is, I'm pretty sure that Lotor is going to use it for something really bad."

"That could explain why Lotor hasn't been seen in 3 months." Katie theorized "He might be hidden on an uncharted planet or an unknown secret base where he's working on his project."

Though it was only a theory, it would make sense why Lotor was getting very hard to track since he got away. Both Haggar and Allura gave a nod before Haggar contacted Kolivan and asked to double their efforts to locate Lotor.

A bit later

Coran informed the team. "All right, everybody, today we'll be heading to Reiphod: a planet recently liberated from Galra forces."

But Keith thought this was a waste of time. "This is embarrassing. We're basically the grand marshal of a parade."

"Not a parade, a show of arms. Which you and Shiro will be joining in the Voltron fighter." Coran corrected.

"Whatever it is, it's the 2nd 1 of these we've done just this week." Katie said.

"I know it's not exactly battling the Galra, Katie. Believe me, I'd rather be out there batting them to the very last 1, especially my dark counterpart. But this helps us boost morale and strengthen alliances." Haggar said with distaste for her dark and insane counterpart.

"Indeed. That's why this is so important. The more allies we have, the more the fight turns in our favor." Allura said in agreement with her darling princess.

"As long as we don't get a repeat of last time, Hunk." Lance said with a frown.

"I thought my Lion had more room." Hunk said as an excuse.

But then, Kolivan contacted them. "Princess Haggar, my apologies for interrupting, but this is an urgent matter." Before showing them the data he'd collected on the Galra supply ship. "The Galra supply ship has been spotted passing through Quadrant Omega Ragar 6."

"What's it doing so far from its normal supply routes?" Haggar asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We can't be certain, but taken with the fact that Lotor hasn't been seen in quite some time, and the emergence of this new form of quintessence, we feel compelled to investigate." He answered. "Normally, we would wait for better Intel, but I feel we should act on this now."

"Should Voltron be sent in to intercept?" Shiro asked.

"An infiltration mission makes more sense." Kolivan said. "We can plant a tracker and find out how far the supply route extends. With all the Galra activity as of late, my agents are spread thin."

Suddenly, Keith volunteered to be a part of the mission. "Not anymore. Count me in."

Lance disagreed with that. "Hey, what about our performance? Shiro can't pilot the Voltron fighter by himself."

But Kolivan assured them. "I promise that this won't take long, but we must act fast or we risk the ship jumping to hyperspace."

Shiro agreed with that. "I agree. Keith will go on that mission." Before he looked at Haggar. "With you as the leader, you can form Voltron at the show of arms. That alone should be enough to impress the crowd out there. I'll do my best to fly the Voltron fighter alone, but ultimately it's your decision, Haggar."

Haggar thought for a moment and knew Shiro was right. Just by seeing Voltron, the crowd would be inspired enough to ally with them. Plus, ever since Keith had gone on missions with the Blades, she'd been preparing a contingency plan just in case. So, with a nod, she answered. "All right. Go, Keith. But when the mission is done, meet us on Reiphod. Understand?" Getting a nod from Keith before he left.

Later, on planet Reiphod

Coran was in front of the citizens of the planet, announcing to them all. "Citizens of Reiphod, we honor you for your perseverance! Your refusal to bow down in the face of tyranny is a testament to the fighting spirit of your people. You've put aside your differences and united against the tyrant Zarkon and his corrupt empire! We thank you for joining the alliance and continuing the fight against the Galra that began with the reemergence of the 5 Lions of Voltron! And the newest member: the Voltron fighter!"

Then, as if on cue, the 5 Lions and the Voltron fighter began to fly around the skies of Reiphod, with the Lions performing a very great show for the crowd. But Haggar saw that Shiro was having a bit of trouble flying his fighter, despite doing his part well. "Shiro, are you alright?"

"Yeah. It's a little bit difficult without Keith, but I'm doing my best, Haggar." Shiro answered as he tried to keep up with them.

"Keith said he was gonna be here. I know Voltron will be enough, but come on, he's making it difficult for Shiro." Lance complained.

"I know, Lance. But if Keith doesn't get here on time, I'll talk with him after this is over." Haggar said as the Lions continued their show, with Shiro still trying his best to keep up with the others.

And as they continued to put on a good show, Coran continued to address the impressed crowd. "By joining the Voltron alliance, you join up with the defenders of the universe, who will do whatever it takes to spread freedom and peace to every galaxy! And as Voltron has shown what can be done when 5 individuals combine together, so can we combine our powers with those on planet Reiphod and grow ever stronger! For it is the individual willing to take up arms that strengthens the haul! And with that strength, we will be unstoppable!"

And as if on cue, Haggar called out to her fellow Paladins. "Now, team, form Voltron!" Before the Lions did just that, forming into the Legendary Defender and bringing out its sword, making the entire crowd watch in amazement. And despite Shiro still having trouble piloting the Voltron fighter, he still did his best to amaze the large crowd.

Meanwhile

The Blades had located the ship and Kolivan, Keith and Regris were ready to board as they used their jetpacks to fly to it. "Triangulate positions around the ship." Kolivan ordered, making them do just that.

When Keith was in position, he planted a scanning device but didn't find anything. "Not detecting lifeforms inside."

"Could be a crew of androids." Kolivan said. "Let's find out."

The 3 got inside and searched the ship but still didn't find any living creature or android aboard before they met back up. "I scanned for androids and found nothing." Regris reported.

"The entire place is empty." Keith added.

Kolivan didn't like this. "Something's not right here. We should leave now."

But Keith was determined to finish the mission. "We came all this way. We should at least plant the tracker and find out where the ship ends up."

Kolivan still didn't like this, but they continued to the bridge anyway as Keith proceeded to plant the tracker while Regris went to check the ship's logs. But no sooner than he did, the system locked him out and the doors closed before a self-destruct countdown appeared.

"I'm locked out of the system!" Regris said.

"It's rigged to blow!" Keith added, knowing that this was a trap.

"The ship's a decoy! Everyone out!" Kolivan said with urgency before he and Keith opened the door with their blades.

But Regris tried to override the system before it blew. "Attempting to override."

But Keith knew there wasn't much time as they got the door open. "There's not much time!"

"Just a few more seconds!" Regris said before Kolivan grabbed Keith and ran with him as the bridge finally blew, killing Regris in the process!

When Keith regained consciousness, he found that he was floating in space with a tear in his suit. He tried to contact Kolivan but was unable to before he saw a big part of the ship's debris and used his blade rope to get to it before he locked and saw the Blades' ship close by and jumped through the debris and got inside just in the nick of time as Kolivan locked at him.

Later on Okarion

Keith walked in the hallway and was met by Haggar, who looked at him. "Haggar, I know you're pissed off at me, but I'm not in the mood for a lecture or another beating."

"I heard about what happened on your mission, Keith, and I'm really sorry that Regris died." Haggar said with sympathy.

"Thanks." Keith said, as he believed her.

"I know the work with the Blades is important to you. They have been great allies to us in this war. And while I, more than anyone understands that a new quintessence supply line is troubling…"

"I said I didn't want a lecture."

"Keith, since our battle against Zarkon and my counterpart, we've been able to boost our forces by uniting those previous enslaved planets both at his and my hands, under a common symbol: Voltron. And while we've been able to form him, Shiro needs his co-pilot. And let me remind you that Voltron is more than just a weapon, it's a symbol of freedom and hope. So, at some point you're going to have to make a choice: Either Voltron or the Blade of Marmora." She said before walking away, leaving Keith alone to think about what she'd said.

But as some time went on, while Haggar and the rest of team Voltron continued to help more and more refugees by building more outposts and giving them many kinds of supplies, Keith found himself spending more of his time going on missions with the Blade of Marmora, which both Altean princesses and Shiro noticed, making Haggar accelerate her contingency plan.

Meanwhile, on Lotor's ship

The son of Zarkon was observing his latest project when Acxa came up to him. "Prince Lotor, High Priestess Dark Haggar requires your presence."

Lotor went to his throne and answered the call. "Lotor, while you distance yourself from Central Command, rebel forces have taken entire star systems from our hands."

"You think holding onto worthless outposts strengthens our empire?" Lotor asked.

"Your father knew those outposts would 1 day become strongholds." Dark Haggar countered. "An emperor must be seen. His absence diminishes his power."

"I don't have to explain myself to you. Now don't bother me again." Lotor said before breaking contact.

Meanwhile, with Dark Haggar

The insane counterpart of Allura's true love grinned at Lotor rebelliousness, thinking that's just what she needed for her ultimate goal. "Good, Lotor, good. Keep up that rebellious streak. That's exactly what I'll need…when I seduce you."

Meanwhile on Okarion, in the briefing room

Coran has received an alert before the team got there. "What's going on?" Allura asked.

"We've received a destress signal. 1 of our convoys has been ambushed by a squadron of Galra cruises." Coran reported.

"Our medical supply ships." Shiro said. "We can't allow the Galra to get them."

"We must leave immediately." Haggar said with urgency. "Voltron can keep those cruisers occupied long enough for the supply ships to make their escape."

"And it looks like Shiro's gonna have to pilot the Voltron fighter by himself again. Keith's gone." Katie said.

"On another mission with the Blade of Marmora, no doubt." Haggar said knowingly.

"You'll just have to go without us." Shiro said with determination before the team ran to the hanger.

And when the Lions got to the ambush, they saw that the supply ships were in a trackter beam. "Haggar, they've got the ships!" Katie said to her leader and sister like figure.

"Then we can't waste any time. Form Voltron!" Haggar told her fellow Paladins before they did just that and the Legendary Defender formed its sword before destroying most of the Galra ships, using its right shoulder cannon to blast even more, destroying them as well!

But that was when a Galra 4 more cruisers arrived at the scene, carrying more fighters. "Oh man, looks like they called for backup!" Hunk said.

But that was when Shiro arrived in the Voltron fighter. "Don't worry, guys, I'm here!" And began to fight the Galra fighters, destroying a few of them, though it still was difficult without Keith here with him. "Guys, I'm holding on as long as I can, but without Keith, I can't do much!"

That was when Haggar put her plan into action. "Don't worry, Shiro. I've planned for this." She said before she used her power so that Shiro and the Voltron Fighter became one, like when the Paladins became one with their Lions, which helped a lot as Shiro already felt it and began to pilot the Voltron fighter much easier now to the point where it and Voltron were able to destroy the dreadnought's defenses, and allowing the Legendary Defender to destroy the cruiser!

Voltron and its fighter, now connected as 1 with Shiro, got beside the supply ships as Haggar assured them all. "Don't worry, you're all safe now. We're going to escort you the rest of the way to Okarion."

Later on Okarion

Keith had returned from another mission and entered the bridge on the castle. "Guys, I…" He said before he saw the entire team glaring at him, making him look down in shame. "I heard what happened. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help."

"You say you're sorry, but your actions speak otherwise!" Haggar said with anger. "Your absence put the team, especially Shiro and the entire quadrant in danger!"

Keith then explained. "This is not how I wanted this to happen. But if there's a bright side of any of this, it's that my absence can make up for what I did to you. Haggar was right to strip me of my title as the red Lion's Paladins. I realize that now. And since she's become the new leader of the team, she's taken the fight to the Galra far better than I or Shiro ever did. He told me himself that Haggar was a great leader and she's proven it time and again ever since she became the Black Lion's Paladin."

"Is that why you've been pulling away from us?" Allura asked.

"Yeah. That's part of it."

"What's the other part?" Hunk asked.

"The Blades have been making new headway tracking the source of this new quintessence. They've been able to piece together a large network of hidden supply lines that have been secretly transporting it for who knows how long. And there's good reason to believe that it could lead us directly to Lotor. A mission is being planned to infiltrate the supply line. It could take weeks, maybe months to pull off but…if there is a chance, I have to take it. I need to be on this mission." Keith explained before looking at Haggar. "Haggar, you, Allura and Shiro are the rightful leaders of this team. And all 3 of you have proven it at 1 point or another."

Haggar walked up to Keith and after a few seconds, drew him into a hug. "Keith…I forgive you."

The others were surprised for a minute before they smiled, especially Allura before Shiro told him. "Keith, if this is what you feel is right, we won't try to stop you. But just know that we're here for you, whenever you need us." He said before joining in the hug, making everyone else do the same.

"I forgive you too, Keith." Allura said.

"So do I." Katie added.

After they separated, Keith said. "I'll be leaving tomorrow, but I wanna spend at least 1 more night together with you guys before I go."

Allura got an idea of what to do, as she'd recently heard of a great nightclub being recently opened on Okarion, which would be perfect to celebrate team Voltron's last moment together before Keith would leave.

That night

Everyone was preparing themselves in their quarters. After Allura and Haggar had taken a shower together and dried themselves, they put on the clothes they'd picked out for tonight, which were a mixture of Altean style with some influence from Earth, consisting of short crop tops which showed some cleavage, short skirts and high heels.

Allura smiled after putting on her outfit and admired herself in the mirror. "I have to admit, Katie sure knows how to make Altean clothes into clothes to go out on Earth."

Haggar nodded as she put on her own crop top. "You bet. If only on Altea they knew about this Earth style already." Haggar sighed as she walked over to her lover. "We could've had so much more fun together."

Allura formed a smile and planted a passionate kiss on Haggar's lips, which her darling princess gladly returned.

After a minute, Haggar slowly broke the kiss, telling Allura. "Let's leave some for later tonight..." Before she then whispered in her ear while rubbing Allura's butt cheeks. "If we're lucky... We'll be able to... find us a private place... so I can show you how much I admire your... sexy look in those Altean/Earth clothes..."

Allura moaned before softly whispering in Haggar's ear. "And I will... show you... my appreciation... my love."

That was when there was a knock on the door. Haggar looked and sensed that it was Katie. "Oh, it's Katie." Before both she and Allura broke their embrace as Haggar told her. "Come in."

The door opened, confirming to Haggar's feelings that it was Katie indeed. She was wearing a short green dress, jean jacket and blue heels. "Hey there. All set?" She asked.

Haggar and Allura both nodded. "We are." Allura answered.

Katie smiled to see that Allura and Haggar were wearing the clothes she'd thought of for them. "Wow. You guys look great."

"Thanks, Katie." Haggar said. "You're looking good as well."

Katie gave a shrug. "Never thought I would ever wear a dress again. But tonight, I'll make an exception. Now let's go and meet the others." Before she left together with Haggar and Allura out of the castle and met with the others.

The others decided to wear their own style for going out to the nightclub, with Hunk feeling more nervous than the others, but Lance cheered him up. Shiro chose to wear jeans, a black shirt and nice shoes. Lance had chosen to wear a nightclub shirt, with black pants and sneakers, while Hunk chose his usual clothes while Keith chose his, along with Coran. The nightclub where they were heading to, was started by a group of some of the refugees from different kinds of planets, having come together to build a place where all races around the universe can hang out. Thus, their nightclub was born, called: Side-By-Side club.

As everyone made it to the place, all were surprised to see so many people from different alien races, mostly refugees, who'd come to spend a great time at the newly opened nightclub, all standing in a line. An Okarian male stood at the entrance, checking everyone who wanted to go inside. He stopped a few guests, not allowing them to enter as some were wearing shoes that weren't allowed inside, or removing one out of the line who was stupid enough to try to take a knife with him inside.

Again, Hunk felt nervous as he asked while the line moved. "You think we can go inside?"

Lance assured him. "Who wouldn't?! We're team Voltron after all. The saviors of the universe! Of course they'll let us in. In fact, they have to let us in as it's for a good cause."

Katie formed a grin while rolling her eyes and asked him. "Oh, right, like every girl you met will have to give you a kiss as you say it's for a good cause? How far has that worked out for you, Lance?" She mocked him.

Lance groaned with annoyance at her. "Shut up, Pidge."

Katie chuckled as Lance clearly never had the chance to get a kiss from a girl, despite him being a Paladin.

When they made it to the entrance, Allura, Haggar and Katie were allowed in first, followed by Keith, Shiro and Hunk. But as Lance was about to enter proudly, he was stopped by the Okarian guard. "Hold it right there. You're not allowed."

This shocked Lance before he turned angry. "What?! How can I not go in? Do you even know who I am?! I'm a Paladin of Voltron!"

The Okarian guard narrowed his eyes before pointing his thumb to a group of people dressed like a Paladin. "Yeah, right. That's what they all say."

Lance looked, and to his confirmation, dozens of people were trying to enter the club, claiming to be Paladins of Voltron. Lance glared back at the guard. "Then why am I not allowed to go in?!"

The guard pointed to Lance's shoes. "You're wearing sneakers."

Lance looked down and gave a shrug. "Yeah. So?"

"Read the sign." The guard pointed his thumb to the sign behind him, saying: No smoking, No animals allowed, No sneakers.

"AH! C'MON, MAN!" Lance stated in dismay. "These are my only sneakers!"

"I don't care." The guard said.

Just as the guard called in someone to remove Lance from the line, Lance quickly held his hands up. "Wait, wait, wait!" Before he groaned and took off his sneakers and threw them away. Now he was only wearing socks. "There! Am I still allowed to wear socks, or do I need to go barefooted?" He asked while crossing his arms.

The guard gave a shrug. "Yeah, now it's fine. You can go in."

Lance went inside, though being overly frustrated as he had to dispose of his only sneakers, which were now taken by someone, much to his anger. "Urgh! If I ever get back to earth, I'll send this business the bill for owning me a new pair of sneakers." And as Lance made it inside, he saw that his friends and the Alteans were already having fun.

While Hunk walked over to Lance from the bar, holding a drink, he said. "Man! This place is awesome! You were right, Lance. I shouldn't be too worried at all."

Lance sighed in annoyance. "Great. Good for you, Hunk."

Hunk raised an eyebrow at him, before he looked down and noticed that Lance wasn't wearing any shoes anymore. "Hey, what happened to your shoes?"

Lance glared at him. "Don't ask." And walked over to the bar, getting a drink for himself.

And in the first 2 hours how much Shiro, Keith, Katie, Hunk, Haggar and Allura were having fun, as it was indeed a perfect way to have a final moment together before Keith would leave to become a full time member of the Blade of Marmora.

While Katie was sharing a few laughs with Haggar and Allura, she noticed that Lance had been sitting at the bar the whole time, not even trying to flirt with a nice looking alien girl that sat a few seats away from him. Thinking he maybe could use some company, she walked over to him and sat next to him at the bar. "Rough night, huh?" Katie asked him.

Lance sighed as he took a sip from his drink. "You have no idea." He answered with a depressed sound in his voice.

This confused Katie. She glanced at the bartender and asked. "Uhm... I'll have the same thing that my friend has." While the bartender nodded and prepared the drink, Katie turned back to Lance, trying to cheer him up. "Hey, C'mon, Lance. I'm sure you'll be able to get a new pair of sneakers in no time."

While the bartender served Katie her drink, Lance shook his head as he admitted. "It's not the loss of my sneakers that I feel like this, Pidge."

"Then what? What's bugging you?"

Lance rested his head on his elbow. "What you said earlier before we entered this place; of you telling me how well my 'flirting with other girls' has gone so far." As he glanced at her before taking a big sip from his drink, finishing it and placing it down. "Do you know how many girls I've kissed? Dated? Or spend some 'alone time' with them ever since we became Paladins? Not a single 1!"

Katie raised an eyebrow at him.

Lance ordered another drink while he stated. "I mean, back home, on Earth, it was all so easy for me. And I thought... I would have the same luck across the universe. But after you mockingly said how far I was doing with my flirting skills, I began to think..."

"Really?" As she was about to take a sip from her drink before asking. "Then tell me-" But as she took a sip, she felt some horrible taste in her mouth from the drink, making her cough. "What is this anyway?" She asked while looking at her drink.

That made Lance give a small laugh at her. "Seriously, Pidge? You didn't even notice that it was an Okarian beer you ordered?"

Katie looked surprised at her drink, with Lance telling that the same drink she ordered as he had was in fact beer. "Really?" Before she then gave a shrug. "Guess I better start practicing my drinking skills." Before she then began to take big sips from her beer without even stopping, which shocked Lance.

When finishing her beer in just 5 big gulps, she smacked her beer down. "Aaaaah! My very first beer. Woohoo!" She cheered.

Lance couldn't believe his eyes at how fast Katie drank her very first beer. "Pidge... I wasn't even able to drink beer that fast when I first tried."

"Hahahahaha! Well, now you've met a whole new Katie Holt before you!" Katie proudly stated, though feeling a bit woosy in the head because of drinking her very first beer that fast. "Whoaaaaa... my head's spinning..." And she nearly fell backwards from her seat, but Lance caught her in time.

Lance chuckled at what nearly happened to Katie. "That's what happens when you take alcohol that fast without your body being used to it yet."

Katie chuckled. "I guess..."

Lance then suggested. "Maybe we should sit somewhere else?"

Katie agreed to that and spotted an empty big couch on the other side of the club "How about there?" As she pointed to it.

Lance saw it and gave a shrug. "Sure. Let's go."

Both Allura and Haggar, while they danced together, saw the whole thing between Lance and Katie. The two Altean princesses exchanged a look of surprise, before they smiled, seeing how their human sister-like was having a good time, with Lance of all people.

After Lance and Katie sat down on the couch, sitting a big close to each other, Lance asked an Okarian female waitress to give him and Katie another drink.

Katie then asked Lance. "So... about that you say that you began to think after what I told you that your flirting skills had failed you?"

Lance sighed as he began to tell. "I don't know, Pidge... I mean, Katie." He corrected himself, beginning to call her by her real name instead of Pidge. "The truth is... though I look like a guy who could have every girl he likes and has all the skills to win over their hearts... deep down... I..." But words failed him.

Katie placed her hand on his arm, stroking it. "Tell me,"

Again, Lance gave a big sigh. "The truth is, Katie... I'm nothing like the guy you always knew! Deep down, I'm not a romeo-figure or a romanticus. Deep down, who I truly am... what I really am is... I'm very... insecure."

"What?" Katie asked with a surprised look on her face.

"It's true. The only reason I've been acting like this ever since I became a teen, is because I've always been insecure about myself as I... finally realized that I only became a failed romanticus, is because I fooled myself that society pressured me to be as they wanted me to be. But I have been fooling myself for years to believe that..." Before he looked back into her eyes. "I don't know where it came from that I finally realized this, Katie, but... when you said those words to me... it was like it was smack in the face, bringing me back to reality..."

Katie blinked a few times after hearing all of this. All this time, Lance was only acting like a jerk sometimes because he was insecure about himself. But once she heard that she kinda brought Lance back to his senses, though unintentionally, she gave a small blush. "Oh... really?" Before she took the drink that the lady waitress served for them and took a sip. "Well, you're welcome, I guess."

Lance formed a small smile as he took his glass, raising it and both toasted. "Cheers." Before Katie smiled back and both slowly drank their beers.

As Katie was taking her 4th beer and Lance taking his 6th, both kept sitting together at the couch, talking and sharing a few laughs. While Katie looked at how the others were doing as a romantic song was being played, she saw Haggar and Allura dancing romantically together. Katie formed a little smile.

However, Lance, as she began to look at Katie, he started to see her in a different way. In his mind, he mentally asked himself. 'Whoa... when did Pidge... I mean, Katie looked so... cute and... beautiful?' This confused him, thinking it was maybe just the beers that made him see and say these things in his mind. Although, as Lance felt a bit more loose and more courageous, he stood up from the couch and offered Katie her hand. "Uhm... would you like to... dance with me?"

Katie looked at him surprised while she blushed very red. But since she too felt a bit loosen up thanks to the beers, she formed a sweet smile and took his hand. "Sure, Lance... I'd like to dance with you..."

When Katie and Lance romantically danced together, both admired how well their dancing skills were as both had similar thoughts, with Lance mentally saying. 'For a computer whizz... she's not so bad after all...'

And Katie mentally said. 'For an insecure failed romanticus, Lance is not so bad after all...'

Then as the song ended, both slowly and romantically kissed, which slowly became more passionate. But after a minute, Katie broke the kiss, realizing what she was doing and left, leaving behind a confused Lance. Though this moment felt special to Katie as she'd just had her very first kiss, she was so confused that it was with Lance. But unknown to her, Lance was feeling nearly the same way, as they both were beginning to feel like more than just friends.

Half an hour after seeing Lance and Katie kiss

Haggar and Allura sat at a table, having taken some alcoholic drinks. Allura said, though being a bit shocked that their human sister-like figure had just kissed Lance. "I'm really surprised that Katie and Lance were making out just now."

Haggar nodded as she took a big sip. "Indeed, baby. Well... I kinda hoped that Katie would have her first kiss with someone eventually. But with Lance, of all people? That was something I never saw coming. I hope it wasn't the alcohol that made them do it."

Allura gave a shrug. "Well, even if it was only because of the alcohol that made them do that, everyone can make mistakes when they're drunk."

Haggar glanced at her girlfriend, forming a lustful smile while slowly shoving closer to her. "And if I was a little drunk... while you and me have some fun... that wouldn't be a mistake, right, baby?"

Clearly Haggar was feeling a bit more loose after she'd finished her 6th drink.

Allura however, taking the final sip of her 7th drink, looked into Haggar's eyes, forming the same lustful smile as she could feel what Haggar had in mind. "With you... never..."

Without a second thought, Allura began to passionately kiss Haggar, which she gladly returned. "Mmmm. Hmmmm. Mmmm!"

As their tongues made contact and danced in their mouths like a tango, Allura couldn't resist moving her hand down inside Haggar's skirt, moving between her legs, feeling that she wasn't even wearing any panties and was already wet. Allura broke the kiss. "Oh, Haggar... you're... not even wearing any panties?" She softly moaned before kissing Haggar on the neck.

Haggar closed her eyes as Allura fingered her so good, making her more wet between the legs. "You guessed fucking right, baby. Mmmmaaah. I wanted to surprise you... oh fuck..."

Allura bit her lip as she whispered into Haggar's ear. "Well... I might have had the same thing in mind." And took Haggar's hand, putting it inside her skirt to let her feel that she too wasn't wearing any panties.

Haggar gave a little chuckle. "Oh my, Allura... you little Altean slut..."

"Same to you... baby..." And both resumed their kissing while fingering each other.

They did this for over a minute, till Haggar could sense that their secret little makeout was starting to get noticed by a few people. Haggar broke the kiss and told Allura softly. "Hold me close... I'll teleport us to a place where we can have some more privacy..."

Allura gave a nod and embraced her darling princess, while still fingering her.

And Haggar, though giving a soft moan, concentrated hard and telleported themselves out of the nightclub, surprising the few guests who were peeking on the lesbian Alteans.

Allura looked and saw that she and her girlfriend were into a deep forest of Okarion, with only the fireflies giving them company, giving some small lights in the darkness while the night sky was showing its stars. Yes. It was the perfect place for them to make love. Allura and Haggar formed a sweet smile before resuming their passionate kiss.

They quickly disposed of their clothes and began to make love like crazy, which made the forest somehow respond to their emotions and desire, forming a large soft bed where they would continue to have sex.

They began kissing each other everywhere, licking and sucking each other's breasts and nipples, which made them moan. "Aaah. Aaah. Oh yes, Haggar! Yes. Mmmmmm." Allura moaned before she began to kiss, lick and suck on Haggar's nipples as well.

"Aaaah. Yes, Allura. Oh yeah. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm." Haggar moaned as she ran her hands through her sweet princess's beautiful hair.

Allura then went down and started performing cunniligus on Haggar, making her moan loudly as Allura held her thighs, loving Haggar's delicious juices. "Mmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmm."

"Aaaaah! Oh yes, Allura! Mmmmmm!" Haggar moaned. And after 12 minutes, she felt her peak coming. "Allura, I'm gonna cum! I'm…gonna CUUUUUMM!" She moaned before she climaxed in Allura's mouth.

"MMMMMMMMM. MMMMMMMMM!" Allura moaned, swallowing every drop of her darling princess' juices until she licked her pussy clean.

When Haggar caught her breath, she gently embraced Allura and laid her down before she gave the same thing to her lover, making her moan loudly. "Oh Haggar, yes! Oh fuck yes! Aaaah! Oooohh yes!" And after the same amount of time, Allura felt her climax coming. "Oh Haggar, my darling princess! I'm going to cum! I'm…gonna CUUUUUMM!"

"Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmm." Haggar moaned as she swallowed all her lover's juices until she was licked clean as well.

When they rested for a few minutes, both felt through their bond that they wanted to try something new out.

Haggar then suggested. "Allura, maybe we could try... anal sex?"

Allura blushed deeply, but then smiled. "I'd absolutely love to try anal sex, my darling princess."

Haggar then got into position and Allura got behind her before spreading her butt cheeks apart, getting a nice view of her asshole before eating it out, which surprisingly felt good to her. "Ugh! Oooohh fuck yes! Oh this feels…so good. Oh I love it!"

Allura was enjoying the taste of her lover's juices from behind. 'Oh fuck. This tastes…so fucking amazing. I really love this.' She thought mentally as she continued to eat out Haggar's ass.

Haggar was loving this, as she wondered why they didn't try this sooner. And for 6 minutes, this continued until she felt another climax coming. "Allura, I'm gonna cum again! Oh fuuuck!" Before she climaxed again.

After Allura drank up all her lover's juices again, and got into position and said seductively. "Come take my ass, my darling princess. I'm more than ready."

Haggar grinned at her sweet princess's seductiveness and got behind her before spreading her butt cheeks apart and beginning to eat her other hole out, loving the taste. 'Fuck, her juices taste so good. Oh yes, I love it.'

"Aaahhhh. Oh Haggar! Yes! Oh fuck yes! Oooh by the gods, I love this! Oh yes!" Allura moaned with lust, enjoying the pleasure of anilingus. Haggar kept using her tongue to give Allura's ass great pleasure until she felt her next climax coming. "Haggar, my love, I'm going to cum! OOOOHH YEEESSS!" Allura moaned as she climaxed again.

When they rested and caught their breathing, Haggar thought of something. "Shame we didn't bring our strap on, my sweet princess. But I have just the thing to make up for that." And, out of the materials of the forest, Haggar created a new strap-on dildo/vibrator, which would not only pleasure Allura, but herself too. "What do you think, baby?" She asked after putting it on.

Allura, wanting to feel her pussy getting pleased, spread her lips with her fingers and said seductively. "Come and get me, my dearest Haggar."

Haggar gently got on top of her sweet princess before putting her created strap on/vibrator into her pussy gently. And began thrusting inside her. "Aaah. Aaahhh. Aaaah. How's this, Allura? You like it?"

"Oh yes! Oh I love this, Haggar. Oh yeah. It feels so… good." Allura moaned as she wrapped her legs around her waist. "Harder. Faster. Harder." Haggar complied with her lover's desire and began thrusting inside her lover's pussy as fast, hard and deep as she wanted it. "Oh yes! Yes! Oh fuck yes! Give me more! Oh yes!"

Haggar was also feeling pleasure from this, as the toy she'd made was pleasuring her pussy as well. "Aaaah. Aaaah. Yes. Oh baby." She moaned before getting an idea and pulling out before she turned Allura over so she was laying on her belly and she spread her lover's ass cheeks apart before thrusting into her asshole very slowly and gently, waiting for awhile before she began thrusting in and out of her.

"OOOOHH YEEESSS! HAGGAR! I LOVE THIS! FUCK MY ASSHOLE, BABY! FUCK ME! FUCK ME FUCK ME!" Allura moaned very loudly, loving this so much that she felt she could get nearly addicted to it, even begging... no, yelling to take her in both her anus and pussy. "HAGGAR, FUCK ME IN BOTH MY HOLES! PLEASE, FUCK MY ASSHOLE AND MY PUSSY!"

Haggar, feeling the same desire as Allura, did so and materialized the strap-on dildo to a double strap-on, performing double penetration on her sweet princess. "Yeah! Oh yeah, Allura! Do you…love the way this feels?"

"Oh yes! I love it! Oh fuck, I love it so much! Yes! Oh fuck yes! I'm…going crazy!" Allura moaned with lust, going completely crazy with pleasure. And after 20 minutes, she felt her next climax coming. "Haggar, I'm going to…cum again! I'm gonna…CUUUUUMM!" Before she reached her peak and came hard on her lover's new toy, squirting her juices on it before Haggar gently pulled out.

When both lovers caught their breathing, Allura smiled seductively and said while gently laying her darling princess down and putting on her created toy. "You drove me so crazy with the pleasure just now, my darling princess. I think I should return the favor." She said before putting her lover's legs on her shoulders to give herself access to both of her holes and thrusting the toy slowly and gently inside her pussy and asshole, being very gentle so as not to hurt her.

"Oh Allura! Oh yes! Fuck! Oh I love this! Oh yeah!" Haggar moaned with lust and pleasure, going as crazy as her lover had. "Oh yes! Oooh! Harder! Faster! Harder!"

Allura complied with her lover's wants and thrusted into her pussy and asshole as hard, fast and deep as she wanted it, returning the pleasure that she'd given her as she held her legs tightly. "Do you love it when I drive you so crazy, my darling princess? You love it so much, don't you?"

"Yes, Allura! I love it! I love it so much! Fuck! Oh yeah! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!" Haggar moaned with lust, having gone completely crazy and loving this so badly. And after the same amount of time, Haggar felt her peak was coming. "Oh Allura, I'm gonna cum! I'm…cumming! Aaahhhh!" She moaned before climaxing and squirting her juices on her own created toy.

When Haggar caught her breath, Allura then pulled out the toy from her lover's holes and took it off before positioning herself so that they were pussy to pussy. "Ready for our favorite position, my darling princess?"

Haggar smiled lustfully. "Oooh I'm more than ready, my sweet princess." She said before they rubbed and thrusted their pussies together, moaning in pleasure as they did so. "Aaaaah. Oooohh. Oh yes! Fuck me, Allura! Fuck me!"

"Oh yes, my darling princess! Fuck! Oh yeah, I love this. Oh fuck yes!" Allura moaned as sweat covered their bodies.

Both lovers went at it for over 15 minutes, fucking each other nonstop before they both felt their biggest climax of the night coming and finally squirted nearly all their juices inside each other's pussies as they held each other in a tight embrace. Haggar and Allura then collapsed on the bed and caught their breathing before they gave each other 6 slow and passionate kisses and fall asleep in each other's arms under the stars soon after.

The next morning

Allura and Haggar returned to the castle, seeing that everyone really had a great time at the nightclub, especially Hunk, while Lance and Katie were both still embarrassed over the fact they'd kissed at the nightclub. And the whole team then had their final goodbyes with Keith, who took a shuttle to join the other Blades.

And later that day, while Haggar was meditating, she uses her senses to look into Lance and Katie's minds, seeing that they actually liked each other more than just friends but were afraid to tell. Though it wasn't surprising to Haggar that Katie would be shy, she was surprised that Lance was like this. Though this all confused Haggar about Lance, Haggar, in her mind, encouraged Katie to have a relationship with Lance but also vowed that if Lance even thought about hurting Katie's feelings in any way, she wouldn't be nice to him anymore.

There you go, my dear friends, the Code of Honor episode/chapter is complete. Hope you all enjoyed the bonus scene and the lemon part between the Altean princesses.

I have unfortunate news, however: I'm gonna be moving this Friday and I won't have internet service for probably a month. My mom will try to get it up as soon as she can, but I make no promises. But all is not lost, my dear friends. My phone has its own net, so I'll still be able to work on chapters and answer PMs on my phone until Mom gets our net service up after we settle in. Just wanted you all to know.

Anyway, the next chapter is the Reunion episode, which will come as soon as my other projects are updated. Rate and review and I'll see you all next time, my dear friends.
