Episode 126 : "From Alpha to Omega – Part IV"
Tetsuya walked into Med, determined to find some sort of clue to General Dari's innocence. He looked around the room, carefully analyzing every inch of it.
"There must be something here," he said to himself. "I know she didn't do it, but we caught her here with the same knife that caused the damage. Who else could have had access to the weapon?" He started to put the pieces together in his head when he heard a voice coming from the other room. He walked softly to the door and listened intently.
"The detonator is active," the woman's voice said. "Once the girl is aboard the mecha, it will only be a matter of time before her precious child makes its way into the birth canal, and triggers the bomb." Without thinking, he burst intot he room. She dropped the communicator, shocked. But the shock quickly turned to rage.
"What are you doing?" he shouted.
"Making sure you filthy Terran scum get what's coming to you!" she shouted. She grabbed a scalpel off the counter and ran at him to attack. He dodged her, turning and kicking her in the stomach. She swung her arm, slicing through his pants and cutting open his leg. He turned and grabbed her arm and wrestled for the tool.
"I won't let you get away with this!" he shouted.
"You are too late!" she shouted back. "It will only be a matter of time before it explodes, and your precious Voltron and its crew will be history!" He slammed her wrist off the door frame, causing her to drop the scalpel. She swung hard, hitting him in the head, but he returned with a hard left she failed to block, punching her in the face and knocking her out cold. She slumped to the floor unconscious. He tapped his communicator.
"Security to med!" he shouted. "Intruder alert! High security needed! She is dressed as the nurse and unconscious on the floor!"
"We are on our way," a voice said. "What are the charges?"
"Sabotage," he replied, "and attacking a civilian." He turned off the com. "And if I don't hurry, murder." He ran from the room, headed quickly to the Control Room of the base.
The team quickly ran into the Control Room, meeting up with Kelly.
"What's going on?" Aidan asked. "Any idea what those things are you found?"
"Not much I'm afraid," Kelly replied. "But the mass of objects is headed rapidly towards the edge of the system. The same place Christiane had her encounter with the Omega Comet."
"You think the incidents are related?" Aidan asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "That's why I'm sending you and Voltron to check it out."
"Then what the hell are we waiting for?" he asked. "Let's go!" They all took off running for the doors. Once inside the ships, each one took off and docked in their respective gladiator. The repair crews and Hotaru scattered, leaving the hangar before launch.
"Gamma is locked on and ready for launch," Taye said. He looked behind him. "You sure you're up for this?"
"Mhmm," Lisa replied, strapping herself in.
"Beta locked in and ready for launch," David said.
"Systems are operational," Morgan said. "We're ready."
"Alpha is go for launch," Aidan said. "Insert keys and take off!" The three gladiators took off, touching hands momentarily before flying through their respective chutes. Outside, the bay doors opened, and Alpha flew out. The mountain opened up to allow Beta to launch, and Gamma came flying out of the nearby lake.
"Space formation?" David asked.
"If we wanna be the first ones there," Aidan snarked. "All units, form Voltron!" The gladiators broke apart and began to reconfigure. "Space Dimension! Form Feet and legs! Form arms and torso! And I'll form the head!" Voltron's eyes lit up with power as he reached to the sky and took off further and further into the heavens.
"Good luck," Kelly said, ending the communication.
"The intertial dampeners are reaching critical," the officer said. "We need to slow down or we'll burn up the engines!"
"Hold your tongue!" Centa snapped. "We have to stay one step ahead of the Voltron Force. Everything in our plan hinges on us maneuvering this mass into position at the precise speed and trajectory."
"Very well, ma'am," he replied. "We'll do our best."
"See that you do," she replied. She walked up to the view screen and looked towards their destination. "Once Deram is in place, and the correct power frequency is reached, the anomaly will open. And all we'll have to do is walk right through….to our destiny."
"Hey Feld," Aidan asked, "you getting anything from those things?"
"There's a strange energy signature," she replied. "I'm detecting a sophisticated tracking beam around the entire mass. It'll take me a minute to pinpoint the source."
"Maybe once we get a little closer," David remarked.
"Maybe," Morgan said.
"Babe," Aidan said, "you alright?"
"Seems to be the number one question on everyone's mind today," Lisa snarked.
"Just worrying," Aidan replied. "Making sure my two favorite people in the universe are alright."
"Aw," Taye said, "I didn't know you cared."
"Can it, Benton," Aidan snarked.
"Lieutenant," the officer said, "we're detecting something approaching fast. It appears to be the Voltron Force!"
"I thought our spy was going to take care of them once and for all! No matter. I have my own surprise for them. It may not be much, but it should be enough to hold them off until we complete our mission." She slammed her hand on a big red button. "Release the robeast!"
"Dalloway," Morgan said, "I'm picking up another energy signature from within the mass."
"What is it?" Aidan asked. Out of nowhere, something crashed into them, sending them end over end. The team worked their controls, trying to stabilize
"Seven hells," David shouted.
"That hurt," Taye exclaimed.
"Robeast signature," Morgan said, keying things into her panel.
"Then we better accept the warm greeting," Aidan shouted. "Denjin Dimension!" Voltron reconfigured, Beta and gamma switching.
"You don't look so tough," David said.
"Then stop playing around and put some holes in it!" Aidan snarked.
"Draw Beta Pistols!" David shouted as the guns formed in its hands. They fired at the robeast, and it tried its best to dodge the shots. Most hit the mark.
"David," Morgan shouted, "The energy signature in the mass is getting stronger."
"What does it mean, love?" he asked.
"It means this robeast is a frickin' distraction!" Morgan scolded.
"Then let's head for the source," Aidan commanded.
"And the robeast?" Taye asked.
"Think we can outrun it?" Aidan asked.
"I'll give it all we've got!" Taye shot back, pushing a lever forward all the way. Voltron took off towards the front of the mass of objects, the robeast in persuit.
Tetsuya ran into the Control Room. Kelly and Hotaru turned to face him.
"Jin, what's wrong?" Kelly asked.
"Admiral," he gasped, "where is Sergeant Dalloway?"
"She's with the rest of the team checking out that mass," she replied.
"You have to call them back now!" he shouted.
"Why?' she snapped back. "What's going on?"
"I found the saboteur," he replied, "and she's planted a bomb that'll destroy Voltron!" Before either of them could react, a wave overtook the entire planet, as if time itself was stopping….
The members of the Drule High Council looked at one another in confusion. The meeting had been called without much advanced notice, the seats of the Second, Fourth, and Seventh kingdoms notably absent, with Korronith's seat taken up by the Witch Haggar. Seemingly lost in thought, as if her attention were divided, she sat quietly, yet eerily.
"Does anyone know what this is about?" King Dharlok of the Tenth kingdom asked.
"I see no sign of Skath or Merla," King Bhorn remarked. "I'm not liking this one bit."
"What you like or don't like does not concern me," Kanji said as he walked into the room. The remaining council members sat down. Kanji turned and stared directly at Bhorn, who was trying to avoid eye contact.
"Lord Kanji," Queen Larinska asked, "you called us here on short notice. While we are honored by your presence, we wish to know the reason for the urgency."
"My reason is simple," he replied, still fixated on Bhorn. "I have sat back and watched the Voltron Force stretch themselves thin across the galaxy. I have also watched the Galaxy Alliance defeat us at every juncture."
"Lord Kanji," Larinska spoke again, "many of the kingdoms have chosen to stay out of Korronith's war with the Galaxy Alliance."
"And it is that unwilling spirit that condemns the entire empire to death!" kanji shouted, slamming his hand on the table, Bhorn's chalice spilling on the table in front of him. The blood red liquid rolled down the table and trickled over the side. "I told you one way or another, the Kingdoms of the Supremacy would unify. And that is exactly what I will do."
"And if we refuse?" Lord Vyrketh of the Eighth Kingdom asked. Kanji walked up to him and pulled his sword. He stabbed it through the table in front of him, the blade exiting the table between his legs, inches from his manhood.
"You have no choice," Kanji replied, gritting his teeth. "Blood has already been spilled in this war." He pulled the sword out and resheathed it. "Our bretheren across the galaxies….throughout the universe….have shed their blood and given their lives for us! Now it is time we joined together in unity to take what is rightfully ours and crush our enemies for the glory of the Drule Empire!" Haggar stood up. She stepped back and he raised his hands. "Every Drule in every corner of the universe will hear my call….and they shall call me…..MASTER!" He dropped his arms, and an uncontrollable wave blasted over them, their minds being cleared of all thought….except that of unquestioned fealty to Lord Kanji.
"It's picking up speed," Morgan said.
"The robeast or the mass?" Aidan asked.
"Both," Morgan said. "It's as if the entire system is being propelled together."
"That doesn't make sense," Aidan commented.
"Dalloway," she said, "Kelly mentioned the story Christiane told us. Suppose all of it was true. What if there really was some sort of anomaly?"
"What are you driving at, Love?" David asked.
"The combined mass of the ship, the tractor beam, and the mass of earth trailing with us is roughly the same mass as the Omega Comet!" she shouted.
"But that can't happen!" Taye shouted.
"Oh," Lisa blurted. "I don't want to bring this up…but I think I might be going into labor." Aidan's eyes widened.
"Hold on," he shouted, gripping the controls. "I'm gonna finish this once and for all." Voltron veaved in and out of the asteroids, the robeast in persuit. He gritted his teeth. Form Blazing Sword!" The symbols for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma quickly formed an energy beam the formed the Blazing Sword. A twinkle appeared in Voltron's eye as Lieutenant Centa's ship came into visual range.
"Voltron is still approaching!" the officer said. "What shall we do!"
"Wait for it," Centa replied with a grin.
"Hang in there, Lis," Aidan said under his breath. The sword glistened as Voltron took aim.
"The robeast is getting closer!" Morgan shouted.
"Aidan!" Taye shouted.
"Aidan!" David shouted.
"AIDAN!" Lisa yelled in pain.
"Hyaaa!" Aidan shuted as he turned quickly and sliced through the robeast. The sudden explosion sent a shock wave that knocked Voltron backwards on a collision course wit h Centa's ship.
"Now," she said calmly. The officer hit a button, and a strange engine began to hum. Voltron slammed into the ship, and all at once, every particle of the mass was drawn together into one place and imploded into nothingness…
Aidan carefully opened his eyes and looked around. He grabbed the controls.
"Is everyone ok?" he asked. No response. He checked the sensors, and everything was dead. He looked at the viewscreen, and could not believe his eyes. In front of him was not the wreckage of the battle, the mass they were engulfed in, or even Terra at all.
"Earth…."
