Episode 124 : "From Alpha to Omega : Part II"
The robeast approached the two, poised to strike with the polearm. Gamma came out of the sky and dropkicked the robeast from behind, sending it to the ground.
"What happened?" Aidan asked.
"We disabled the command ship and the flyers," Taye said. "The command ship is getting away, but we need to deal with this robeast."
"Couldn't agree more," Aidan said. "You guys ready?"
"As always," David said.
"Let's do this," Taye agreed.
"All units, prepare to form Voltron!" Aidan said. One by one, they took off intot he air.
"Rah, frickin' rah," Morgan shouted. The gladiators broke apart and began to reconfigure.
"Denjin Dimension!" Aidan shouted. "Form feet and legs! Form arms and torso! And I'll form the head!" Voltron crouched forward, then arched back as the energy field exploded."
"Don't give it an inch, team!" Aidan shouted as Voltron fired stingray missiles at the robeast on the ground. It rolled quickly to avoid them and pulled itself to its feet. Voltron landed on the ground not far away.
"Tackle it!" Aidan ordered. Voltron ran at the robeast and grabbed it, pushing it backwards. It stood its ground and tossed Voltron aside.
"This one's tough," Morgan said. "Let's turn this fight around!" She connected her voltcom. "Form Iron Links!" Voltron clanked his fists together and pulled apart, forming a long chain whip. He swung his arm, and the whip flew at the robeast, wrapping around the polearm. Voltron pulled hard, disarming the robeast. Voltron ran at the robeast, wrapping the chains around his fists, then punched the robeast twice, sending it reeling backwards.
"No!" the pilot shouted. "I won't let you defeat me!"
"Form Blazing Sword!" Aidan shouted. Voltron backed up and held out his arm, the symbol for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma appearing in plasma light, forming the blazing sword. The robeast got up and fired missiles and lasers at Voltron, but he blocked them with the sword as he ran at the robeast.
"Hyah!" Aidan shouted and Voltron slid by the robeast, swinging the Blazing Sword with maximum force. The blade sliced clean through the robeast's torso. Voltron stood still for moments afterwards, and the robeast slid apart in half, falling to the ground and exploding.
"The Drules got away," Morgan said.
"But we stopped the robeast," Aidan said, "and the attack force was destroyed. Now let's get back to the base and keep working on getting the defense systems back up and running."
"Oh," Lisa said with a gasp, grabbing her stomach instinctively.
"What's wrong?" Taye asked. "Baby kick?"
"This feels….different," she replied.
"As soon as we get back to the base, get yourself to Med and have the doc check you out," Taye said.
"You alright?" Aidan asked, listening in on the conversation over the com.
"I'm alright now," she replied, "but I think I better have the doctor make sure." Voltron took off in the air, heading back to the base.
Leiutenant Centa stared at the viewscreen intently. One of her officers approached her.
"Ma'am," he said, "we've just received word that Voltron destroyed the robeast." Her expression remained blank."
"He wasn't worthy," she replied silently.
"Excuse me?" the officer asked. She remained calm, the same blank expression on her face.
"None of it will matter once Operation Omega goes into effect," she replied. "Those Terran fools think they've stopped us from our mission. Let them have their false victory."
"You mean our spy?" the officer asked. "We have not had a report from her since their defense systems were compromised." She finally turned her head to acknowledge him, though her stare nearly chilled him to the bone.
"She has her orders," she replied. "And I have mine."
"You've been talking about this 'Operation Omega'," he said, "but you have not told any of us what this is. Dare I ask, what is it?" She sneered at him.
"It doesn't matter whether I tell you or not," she replied gruffly, turning back to the monitor. "If all goes as planned, none of you will remember….and the Galaxy Alliance will be wiped from history." A sly grin came to her face.
Lisa walked into one of the patient rooms in Med. She carefully climbed onto the bed and waited. Moments later, the nurse entered.
"Mrs. Dalloway," Nurse Ann said, "the doctor said you came in reporting something odd?"
"Yes," Lisa replied. "Where is he?"
"He's busy with another patient," she said. "I'll be looking you over."
"Another ultrasound?" Lisa asked.
"Possibly," the nurse replied. "I want to do a quick internal though. I don't believe you're in labor yet, but I'd like to check your cervix."
"Alright," Lisa said. She laid back on the bed, and put her feet up in the stirrups. The nurse rolled her chair to the bed and gently inserted two gloved fingers.
"I'm not feeling anything out of the ordinary," she replied. "You are close, but you're only two centimeters dilated." She slid her fingers a bit deeper, and Lisa gasped as she felt something odd.
"Oh," she gasped. "What's going on? I thought I felt something…."
"It's nothing," she replied, gently pulling her hand out and away. She removed the glove and placed it into the bio-disposal unit. "You may feel twinges here and there, but all this is normal. I will let the doctor know how far you have dilated. He may want to induce you by next week."
"You hear that?" Lisa laughed as she sat up, talking to her belly. "One more week before we get to see you." The nurse handed her some papers.
"The doctor did say to try and take it easy," she said, "but it shouldn't interfere with your work. You should be able to keep doing what you're doing up until the baby comes."
"Sounds good," Lisa said. "Thanks again." She walked out of the office, and the nurse sat down at the desk. Once she confirmed Lisa was completely gone, she lifted her right arm and tapped a device strapped to it.
"That's right," she said softly. "Keep working until the end. Make sure you take your precious bundle with you into the Voltron Gladiator." She grinned. "Now that the detonator has been activated, it'll be only a matter of time before the device I implanted is triggered….triggered by her own flesh and blood." She reveled in the thought. "Fitting that the wretched birth of another pathetic human will mean the destruction of Voltron. The moment she's fully dilated, and the baby makes its way through, the detonator will trigger, and the device will explode, turning her into the human bomb that destroys Voltron once and for all!"
