KathDMD - I knew you'd like the lance and Ginger bit. I soooooooo wanted them getting used to their new positions. (Pun FULLY intended!) I definitely loved the nanny bit, and wanted to use it as a platform to promote the "Allura's Pregnant" angle. And yeah, I hinted at what was to come with Aidan dalloway nod. Even larmina knows he's a smartass. This next episode is ten times more intense. Grab the Ciroc, love...

cubbieBlueMako - I am overly excited to bring my Lion Force to life for the KA fans to enjoy! I absolutely loved the fact i got to work in the nanny angle, as I mentioned to KathDMD. However, read the next ep with cauthin...and don't kill me yet!

selena devargo - Not quite a new robeast, but an old one coming back! At least as a side project. This episode is intense though, so the DWC needs to arm itself with Vodka!

Author's Note - I'm glad everyone loved the fact that i am splitting up the stories! Lion Force is gonna be spectacular with the arc i have set up, but this episode, as i said above, is INTENSE. Be warned before reading it. Allura's loyalty and feelings for Keith are going to be pushed to their limits!

Episode 2 : "Wait A Minute"

"I would be honored if yourself and Queen Allura would meet with our delegate from Drule," Ambassador Hazar said. "Perhaps at some point, I, too, could come to visit Arus. I would like to think that the people of the Drule Confederation could live in peaceful coexistence with all planets of the Galaxy Alliance."

"It would be an honor for us as well, Ambassador," Keith replied. "Ambassador Coran has told us a lot about you. How soon would your delegate be arriving? I'm sure he and I will have much to discuss."

"It's not a 'he', Admiral," Hazar said. "The delegate I am sending is a close friend of my sister, Dorma. Her name is Phage. She is a representative from one of our southern continents, and has been pro-active in a multitude of humanitarian causes, including the study of re-colonization. As you know, Drule was overcrowded from the beginning, and the Alliance has been trying to assist us with finding a world to ease the overpopulation."

"Indeed," Keith replied. "I'm looking forward to their arrival."

"Thank you, Admiral," Hazar said. "Hopefully you and I could meet in person in the future." He saluted Keith before ending the transmission. He turned to Coran. "I never thought I'd see the day we'd be welcoming a Drule representative to Arus."

"Ambassador Hazar is no ordinary Drule, Admiral," Coran said. "He is a courageous man, one who led his people against the tyranny of their leaders, and saved his people from the destruction of their homeworld. He and I have spoken many times during my trips to Earth for Alliance summit meetings. He is an exceptionally wise man."

"Let's hope his delegate is just as honorable," Keith replied. "I know the Confederation has not only been a peaceful faction, but has shown support for the Alliance when we needed it."

"And the delegate being a woman," Coran said, "perhaps Allura would get along with her well."

"Let's just hope Daniel doesn't get any ideas," Keith replied. "Or worse, Lance." He laughed about that a little on the inside, but still thought to himself how much trouble Daniel could get himself into.

Haggar walked over to one of the windows and looked down at a robeast under heavy construction. The beast was in the shape of a wolf….undoubtedly another of Maahox's Predator beasts. She looked on as they carefully installed the Dark Nexus crystal deep inside the beast, but then she heard footsteps enter the room. She turned to see a young Drule woman standing before her.

"Excellent," she said, squinting her eyes. "Indeed, they have done a marvelous job."

"You have no idea, Your Excellency," the woman replied. "I have been made to look exactly like her in every excruciating detail. I'd even fool that Admiral of theirs." Haggar cackled.

"I want you to go with a small fleet to intercept the delegate's shuttle," Haggar ordered. "Once subdued, take her prisoner, and then take her place aboard the shuttle. You will then proceed to Arus and get close to the Voltron Force."

"Indeed," she replied. "What are my orders once I have access to the castle?" she asked. "Do you wish for me to sabotage their control room?"

"No," Haggar replied. "I have an even better plan." She walked over to a shelf and pulled a bottle of liquid from it and brought it to the woman. She placed it into her hands. "This potion was created from flowers on Vega. The flowers are now thought to be extinct, making this potion very rare."

"What does it do?" she asked.

"You will need to gather hair or skin from whom you want it to work on," Haggar said. "Once it is placed in the potion and stirred properly, the scent will place a spell on them that will cause them to become unbelievably attracted to you. If you were to somehow lure the Admiral under the spell, you could make him do anything you want…."

"I understand," she replied with a smile. "Sabotage the Control Room….perhaps even steal one of the lions!" She laughed. "I won't fail you, Your Excellency."

"See that you don't," she replied. "I would like to have a thorough test of the next part of my side project. And with any luck, perhaps it will destroy Voltron before it can even reach full power!" She laughed and cackled maniacally.

Daniel, Larmina and Vince walked out of the castle of Lions to meet the othe

rs, who had already gathered near the landing pad.

"From what I heard," Daniel said, "Ambassador Hazar's delegate is a woman."

"Why does that surprise you?" Larmina asked.

"I'm not saying it does," Daniel said. "It's just from what little of Drule culture we're aware of, not many women make it into positions of power. I'm actually looking forward to meeting her."

"Don't get any ideas," Larmina replied with a frown.

"Who, me?" Daniel asked with a slight laugh. "Come on, Larmina. When have I ever fallen for a pretty face?"

"Quit now, Daniel," Vince warned. "You're only digging yourself in deeper." They approached the pad, and Keith, Allura, Hunk, Pidge and Marina were already standing there waiting.

"The shuttle should be here right about….now," Pidge said, just as the shuttle came into view. Everyone stepped back a bit as the shuttle touched down. Once the engines powered down, the doors opened, and out stepped a Drule woman, standing at about five foot nine, with long, dark hair, her small and slightly pointed ears protruding from it. She walked up to Pidge.

"I am Phage," she said, shaking Pidge's hand, "delegate from the southern continent of Planet Drule."

"Lieutenant Commander Pidge Stoker," Pidge replied, "Head of Security." She then walked over to Allura and shook her hand as well.

"And you must be Queen Allura Altaire Kogane," she said.

"It's an honor to meet you, Delegate Phage," Allura replied.

"Simply call me Phage," she replied. "Delegates have not formal title." She turned to Keith. "And this must be your husband, Admiral Kogane."

"Prince-Consort of Planut Arus," he replied, taking her hand as well. "perhaps we should continue inside to begin talks?"

"With all due respect, Admiral," she replied, "I've had a rough journey. Would it be alright if I get situated in my quarters before we begin talks?"

"Of course," he replied. "Right this way. Pidge will show you to your…." Without warning, she went weak and fell. Keith was quick to catch her and help her back to her feet. She wrapped her arms around his head as he helped her up, then looking intently into his eyes, carefully released him.

"Thank you, Admiral," she said with a deep breath. "The trip must have taken more out of me than I thought."

"Really," Allura muttered under her breath.

"As I was saying," Keith replied, "Pidge will show you to your quarters."

"Right this way," Pidge said taking the lead. The group followed along with her, all the while she carefully ran several small strands of black hair between her fingers.

Daniel, Larmina, and Vince sat together in the Lair, talking about their visitor.

"Alright, Daniel, spill it," Larmina said. "What did you think of her?"

"Kinda strange, actually," he replied.

"Going from inappropriate to completely mean?" Vince asked.

"No," Daniel replied, "I mean the whole introduction was strange. She was able to land the fractal easily, yet without warning became all faint."

"It's a long trip from Drule to here in a fractal," Larmina said. "Why would it be weird to be a bit woozy and tired?"

"Because I could have sworn I heard that there were supposed to be escorts flying the fractal," he said. "Don't you find it odd that she arrived alone, piloting it herself?"

"Maybe something happened," Vince replied. "I think you're reading too much into it."

"I still think we should keep an eye on her," he replied. "Something's not right about her."

"You think we should at least let Hunk and Marina in on this?" Vince asked.

"I say we keep it quiet for now," Daniel replied. "I don't want to get the entire castle in an uproar."

"Fine," Larmina replied. "Surveillance mission."

"Agreed," Vince said.

Phage opened the vial she was given and dropped the hairs into it. The concoction, a blood red, began to boil violently, then turn a bright pink. Once it simmered down, she opened the vial and poured a small amount of the liquid on her fingers and stroked it across the sides of her neck. She placed the stopper back into the top and grinned. At that moment, she heard the an alert at the door.

"Phage," Keiths voice came from the other side of the door. "Are you there?"

"I'll be there in a moment," she said. "I'm just putting away a few things quick." This is perfect, she thought to herself. He'll come in contact with the potion, and I'll he'll be completely under my control! She walked over to the door and opened it. When it opened, he was shocked to see her dressed in a lacy nightgown, with a mischievous smirk on her face.

"Um," he stammered, "I wasn't aware you were getting ready to sleep."

"It's not important," she replied. "I was thinking about resting, but if you wish to meet now…"

"I could come back later," he said.

"It's up to you, Admiral," she replied. She then grabbed the back of her neck. "Ow….I think something bit me."

"That's odd," he said, "there aren't many insects the systems can't take care of."

"It felt like a bite," she said. "Could you take a look?" She turned around, and he couldn't help but notice how tightly the nightgown actually clung to her figure. He tried to pay attention to the bite, and looked closely at the back of her neck. He breathed in, and a strange scent filled his nostrils. He suddenly felt extremely drowsy….but he stood up at attention, his eyes dilating. She turned back around, grinning.

"I…don't know what's….happening…" he muttered.

"That's alright," she replied. "You're under my control now, Admiral. And one of the first things I want you to do…." She pulled him down to her and pressed her lips against his, kissing him forcefully. Once broken, she smirked. "You will go to the control room and bring me the keys to the lions."

"Yes," he said. "Anything for you….my queen." She watched him walk away towards the control room, and she laughed to herself as she went back into her room."

Pidge scanned through the cameras as he did his usual evening security sweep. Suddenly, an image caught his eye, and he left the camera on. There was no audio, but he couldn't believe his eyes, seeing what he saw.

"Keith?" he said to himself as he watched the delegate Phage pull him to her and kiss him madly. "That can't be. I don't understand." He then saw Keith leave, and saw her go back into her room. "I don't know if I should mention this to Allura."

"Mention what?" Allura asked as she walked into the Control Room.

"Nothing!" Pidge said, turning off the cameras. "I mean, I saw some strange things on the nightly scan, but it was probably the space mice. Nothing important." She frowned.

"You better make sure they don't get caught in your traps again," she replied. "They're not pests!"

"I know, I know," he replied, keying in commands at the console. Suddenly, Keith walked in. Allura ran to him, but he walked by, almost ignoring her.

"Keith, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing's wrong," he said, shaking his head. "I need to check out the diagnostics results from Black. It's still in the repair bay?"

"Yeah," Pidge replied. Keith opened the console and grabbed Black's key….along with the others unnoticed.

"Keith," Allura said, "are you sure youre alright?"

"I need to go see Phage," he replied. "Why don't you go get some rest, Allura." He walked out of the Control Room. She couldn't understand it. He had never been this cold. She turned back to Pidge, now more than ever certain that he knew something.

"If you know something I don't," she scowled. Pidge cringed.

"I don't understand it, Your Highness," he replied, "but when I was looking at the surveillance cameras, I saw Keith walk out of Phage's room….kissing her." Her eyes widened, and she felt her blood boil. But her anger quickly turned to tears. "There has to be an explanation, Allura."

"It doesn't make sense!" she shouted. She ran from the room, headed back to her personal quarters. She dare not find him now…because if and when she did, his very life may be in jeopardy.

Vince sat on his bed staring at his datapad. As he intently studied it, something caught his eye.

"Daniel," he said, "you need to check this out."

"What is it?" Daniel asked, climbing off his bunk and coming over to him.

"Look," he replied, tapping the pad.

"All Alliance units," a voice said, "we are under attack by a small Supremacy fleet! Please come to our aid! We are being boarded! The delegate from Drule…." The signal went dead.

"And that's not all," Vince said. He tapped a few more things. "I was able to tap into Pidge's security cameras outside Phage's room, and this is what happened." There was no audio, but they saw Keith looking closely at her neck, then watched her turn around and pull him to her, kissing him forcefully.

"It doesn't make any sense," Daniel said. "Keith would never do that to Allura!"

"I know," Vince replied. "It makes me think she's done something to him. And we need to find out." Larmina came running in.

"Guys," she shouted, "My aunt just flipped! She ran crying into her quarters! Apparently, Keith did something…."

"We need to talk to Allura," Daniel said. "We think something happened to keith."

"She won't let me in," she replied.

"Then we have to find Keith," Daniel said. "If we can't get Allura to help, then we have to save Keith ourselves."

Phage began to carefully slip into a skin-tight uniform, readying herself for the next part of Haggar's plan. She then heard a noise outside her door. When she opened the door, Keith walked inside, the door closing behind him. She grinned when he opened his hand, and all five keys were in it.

"You have done well, my love," she replied. "Perhaps you've earned a little reward…" she allowed the uniform to drop from her body. "…and so have I." She reached up and pulled him in to kiss her, pressing her bare flesh against him, holding his hand and gripping the keys tightly.

To be continued…..
