Paladins of The New Age

by Ostia Queen of Randomness

In a future where Empress Honerva rules supreme alongside her husband Zarkon and son Lotor, the Paladins have gone into hiding with their families. Some captured, some on the run, but a new coalition is on the horizon. I own no characters, aliens, robots or planets from the TV show, only my OCs. All of the original paladins are in their 40s in this, btw. Rated M for bloody scenes.

2. An Attempted Rescue

Mira sat at her computer, scrolling through the most recent galra prison

information. That she had stolen from the gamblers house.

No speech from the prisoners today. A aimed to kick the door down.

Both slept, A said 'Mira' in sleep. Nothing suspicious.

K and A did nothing of interest today, clearly sleeping.

Mira didn't need any more information on that file, so she went to the next section.

Location. Prison 65GHI, Orbiting Vatuan.

She leapt out of her seat and shouted "Yes!"

Krolia heard the front door open and shut within the span of half a tick, and realised Mira was probably in a rush to go somewhere. It was a shame she was so secretive about everything. She had to be, Krolia guessed, nobody was stupid enough to tell anybody anything worth lint. Even more so with Honerva as Empress.

Her hoverbike went straight to the nearest delivery ship. The plan was simple, sneak on a delivery ship, get to the prison, get into the cell and get out with mom and dad. Simple.

Oh, wait, no it wasn't. Mira had to apply for a job at the prison under an assumed identity (Gagoa Debe) and spent at least two days monitoring practically every cell apart from her parents. She knew she would have to work her way up the job ladder, so, while helping many innocent people escape, she put holograms in their place, to make it seem that they never had escaped. Eventually there came the day when her antics would be found out.

A guard happened to pass by the door to a cell when Mira was helping an olkari escape. She knocked out the guard, and realised that she needed to use force to help her dad and aunt escape this manmade hell.

She ran to the centre of the station, slapping alarms everywhere she could. The station was apparently on fire, blowing up, crash landing and nearing a really big solar flare all at the same time. The nearer she got to the centre of the station, the more escapees she recognised. Kolivan and Yan-Tethra could be seen among the running crowds. Clearly the emergency fire doors weren't working, because there were hundreds of prisoners still trapped in the cells. Mira ran to the control deck, and whacked the button that opened all the cell doors. It was then that she ran into yet another problem. The cell that her parents were held in had a fault in the doors that prevented them from opening. She dashed through the close packed crowd (did it have an end?) But, when she got there, she paused a foot from the door. Mira could see her parents tied up, unconscious in two chairs. There were two robot guards stationed either side. Mira gripped her grandmother's blade, her life depending on it.

Three. Two. One.

She leapt into action, quickly decapitating both the robots with her blade before they had time to send the programmed automatic distress call. Suddenly, before Mira had time to smile at her small victory, the foot-thick fire doors slammed shut behind her to prevent spread of the non-existent flames. Now that the doors were as good as welded shut, she was the only conscious person in the prison room. This gave her more than enough time to figure out how to open the complicated cell door, but it locked her only means of escape. She was just as much prisoner as Keith and Acxa.
