New Enemy
Disclaimer: I do not own Voltron Force
So this is an intro to my main villain. Yes, surprisingly enough James is not the villain, he's just the annoying one that no one likes.
Enjoy
1 ½ months later
All was quiet throughout the castle, and with the newest royal to be born within a week and a half, things were normal, with everyone being on high alert for if Allura should go into labor. As Daniel and Larmina walked through the castle, hand in hand, an alarm went off in the command center.
"Everyone report to the command center immediately." Pidge said over the intercom. Everyone, even the cadets, rushed down to the command center.
"What's wrong Pidge?" Daniel asked.
"A distress call from Planet Calgore." Pidge said as he brought the message on screen.
"Commander Daniel, this is King Cagg. We're being attacked by Galtrions! Please, we need the Voltron Force." King Cagg cried before ending the transmission. Daniel looked at the time it was sent.
"That was sent five minutes ago. Pidge, how far is planet Calgore from here?" Daniel asked. Pidge quickly brought up a map of the solar system they were in and scanned for Calgore and Arus.
"At a speed of Mach one, you can get there in twenty minutes." Pidge said.
"It sounds urgent; we may need to go at Mach two. Voltron Force, to the lions!" Daniel commanded; the members of the Force nodded and began to go, the cadets were confused as to what they should do.
"Uh…what should we do Commander Daniel?" Tony asked.
"Didn't you hear me, to the lions. Pick a pilot and go." Daniel said. James started walking towards Daniel, but Larmina stood in his way.
"Listen kid, you're riding with me. My boyfriend doesn't need to be distracted by some egotistical jerk trying to take control of a situation he's never been in before. So shut up and get moving." Larmina ordered, dragging him over to where they went down the shoot into the pod and soon enough into Blue Lion, blasting out of the water and into the sky, soon after they left Arus's atmosphere.
"So are you only dating him for the honor of being the Commander's girlfriend? Because I think there's an attraction between you and me." James said suggestively.
"If there were any attraction it would be my boot up your ass. Now shut up, this is no time for your futile attempts to woo me, we have a job to do." Larmina growled.
"Playing hard to get, well two can play at this game." James chuckled. Larmina rolled her eyes and pulled the throttle, sending the lion into Mach two, keeping up with the other four lions and getting to Calgore in ten minutes.
"What the…?" Vince and Daniel said in unison while the others stared in confusion and awe. They touched down on Calgore, its capital city in ruins, but everyone was remarkably still alive.
"Jeez, what a dump, and other alien species say Earth is the cesspool of the galaxy." James remarked snidely. Daniel found King Cagg buried in rubble, but still alive.
"We got here as fast as we could. What happened?" Daniel asked. King Cagg opened his eyes, then jumped up.
"Oh, thank goodness you're here and…wait, where did they go?" King Cagg asked confused.
"There were no ships here when we arrived sir. I did a scan of the planet for any enemy ships and it turned up negative." Vince said.
"King Cagg, what's that you're holding?" Larmina asked. King Cagg looked and saw what she meant.
"It looks like a messenger pod." King Cagg said.
"Then let's play it and see what it says." Hunk said.
"Agreed. Vince, get it going." Daniel said. Vince nodded, grabbed the pod and set it down, pressing the green button.
"Greetings Voltron Force. I am King Argus, king of the Galtrion Empire and planet Galtak, home of the Impics. I was informed of your defeat of my ally and good friend Lotor and his scientist Mahhox. How you cut him down and killed him, all for the good of the galaxy alliance. Well, I seek revenge. Lotor was a great friend of mine and would have given me some of the planets he would possess, and you will all rue the day you killed him. Mark my words Commander Daniel, you will pay, and you will die. You no longer have to worry about petty attempts of takeover, because this pathetic planet is just a mere example of what my power can do. The galaxy will fall and pledge allegiance to me, King Argus!" the green skinned, blue haired imp shrieked over the screen.
"This is bad, really bad. As if the Druels weren't bad, now their longtime ally, the Impics want to waste us." Larmina groaned angrily.
"Well, if it's a fight they want, then a fight they'll get." Daniel said.
"Please tell me we're not rushing in headlong." Vince said.
"No, we need to figure out more about our opponent before we do that. With Lotor, we knew he had Haggarium powered robeasts, we don't know anything about Argus, other than that he was an ally to Lotor. So Vince, when we get back to the castle, you and Pidge look up and research as much as you can about the Impics. Larmina, Lance and I will find out what we can about their battle strategy, and Hunk you assist with Vince and Pidge, find out if there's any sort of odd tech involved." Daniel said.
"But what should we do Commander?" asked King Cagg.
"Don't worry sire, we'll assist in rebuilding. It shouldn't take too long." Daniel said, smiling at the king.
"Thank you Commander, we would've put up a fight, but they just came from nowhere." King Cagg said, still rattled by the experience.

As the finished with putting everything back in working order, a call came from castle control.
"What's up Pidge?" Vince asked on his voltcom.
"Allura's in the hospital, her water broke ten minutes ago. Just letting you know." Pidge said, somewhat excited and somewhat urgently. Vince looked over to Larmina, seeing worry all over her face.
"If you must, go. It's the birth of your cousin." Daniel said, resting his hand on her shoulder. Larmina smiled up at him, kissed him lightly on the lips and then ran to her lion, turning back for just a second.
"Ok, but you better come and see him after he's born. Please be back soon." Larmina shouted.
"We will!" Everyone, but James, shouted back. Larmina flew back at normal speed, allowing her aunt time to have the baby, though she didn't want to take too long. She got back to Arus forty five minutes later and then went to the hospital and found the room, entering it. She heard her aunt crying out in pain, and was quickly dressed in sterile clothing before she was allowed near her aunt.
"Well, she's crowning, and she has been for ten minutes." The doctor said. Allura was clutching onto Keith's hand and Larmina swore it was purple.
"Queen, calm your breathing, too much pressure could cause the baby's heart to stop." The doctor said, making Allura calm down and stop pushing, well as calm as she could be.
2 hours later
The other members of the force had returned an hour and a half ago, but weren't permitted to go into the delivery room, which was ok with them. They were all starting to nod off when the shrill cry of a baby snapped them wide awake. They all stood as Keith walked out, taking the mask off.
"One at a time. Who wants to come in first?" Keith asked. Lance walked forward.
"Do you mind Daniel?" He asked.
"Not at all, Keith is more your friend than he is mine, plus you've known Allura and Keith much longer than I have." Daniel said, smiling. Lance smiled and went into the room for a few minutes and then came back out.
"You all know she had a son right?" Lance chuckled. Pidge went next, followed by Hunk, then Vince and then Daniel. He walked across the room and over to the bed, where Larmina sat next to her aunt and new cousin.
"What's his name, no one has told me." Daniel chuckled.
"Arlone Kogane." Allura said lovingly. Daniel smiled and looked the baby boy over carefully. He had jet black hair and darker skin like Keith, but his eyes were the bright lime green of Allura's.
"Congratulations Allura." Daniel said, smiling.
"Thank you Daniel. Now, if you and Larmina don't mind, I'm tired, as you can imagine, and would like some time to rest." Allura said, exhaustion apparent on her face. Larmina stood and nodded as both she and Daniel made their way to the door. The cadets stood outside, eager.
"Sorry cadets, but queen Allura is tired. Don't worry, you'll get to see the baby in time." Larmina said. The cadets understood and soon they made their way back to the command center with the rest of the force. James was irritated that Larmina wasn't showing any signs of interest. He was being aloof and just how he normally was, that's how he had so many other girlfriends on earth, but why was she so difficult. There wasn't much difference between Earth girls and Arusian girls. So why wasn't any of his normal wit and charm working on her? He walked down the hall, turned the corner and saw Daniel go into Larmina's room. The moment the door closed her crept up to the door and listened carefully.
"With this new threat from the Impics, I'm just confused about everything. I'm worried that my aunt and new cousin will get hurt because of some stupid revenge plan. I don't want my friends or the people I love to get hurt." Larmina said irritably.
"Things look crazy now, but it'll somehow get better. I don't think Keith would stand idly by as his wife and son were being attacked, he'd fight with all he has, you and I both know that. Larmina, try to have a bit more faith in us all." Daniel said. James heard some shuffling and a heavy sigh come from Larmina.
"You know, when we're in crazy as hell situation like this, I can always rely on you Daniel." Larmina said. James almost gagged, but then he heard Daniel chuckle. Then it occurred to James why Larmina wasn't going out with him, it was Daniel, it's always Daniel. James walked away from the door and found the other cadets in the rec room.
"What's up James?" Tony asked in a bored tone as he read his book on the many uses for twin hook blades.
"Larmina." James growled.
"What about her?" Tony asked, flipping a page.
"She's dating Daniel the jerk." James muttered.
"No, she's dating Commander Daniel, one of the youngest, and best commanders, save Keith, of the Voltron Force." Milani growled.
"Shut up. What's he got that I don't? I have looks, money, charm, more than he could ever wish to have. I'm better than him." James growled.
"He's not a scrawny twig that can't beat a girl at arm wrestling. He's smarter than you and had more life experience than you. You don't have charm, you're a rude, selfish, arrogant jerk. You whine all the time about how you never get to do this, that, or another. You never do any of the class work, or any out of class assignments. You're disrespectful. So what if you have money, your dad might be a multimillionaire on earth, but Larmina is the duchess of Arus and Daniel is a high ranking knight. Face it, you can never be better than him." Milani said.
"Sounds like you have a crush on our oh-so-great commander." James hissed sarcastically.
"Actually, I don't. I just know how to show respect and do research." Milani said, honesty brimming in her eyes.
"He's also trustworthy and knows how to admit to his mistakes, unlike you." Tony said coldly.
"He has mistakes! I don't make any mistakes in anything because I never mess up anything!" James shouted. The three cadets walked away.
"Don't turn you back on me! When I take over you'll all be sorry!" James shouted.
"When you take over? Ha! Let's see if you can even advance to the next level of training first mister I'm-failing-everything." Milani scoffed before she, Tony and Serenity vanished around a corner, leaving James to his thoughts, alone.
So I hope you liked this chapter. I'm going to take a small break, four days tops, so I can focus more on my school work and type at a leisurely pace, developing my thoughts better because I feel a bit rushed when I type. I will get the next chapter up this week though. R&R.
