"Eat," the door was swung open and two plates where thrown into the cell as Lance blinked open an eye only to see the door close again.

He looked over seeing the food but it looked more like goo with chunks. Lance gagged a little at the strange food but saw a fruit like food that must've rolled off the plate as well. He grabbed the alien fruit and took a bite only to spit it out in disgust. The fruit was tart mixed with salty, it was defiantly not a fruit from earth.

"Lancey?" Chloe rubbed her eyes looking at her brother as Lance looked back at her.

"Hey you hungry? Got some salty fruit for breakfast," Lance smirked holding up the fruit.

"Is it poisoned?" Chloe gasped with wide eyes.

"Nah they won't poison us chlo, I already checked, it just tastes like bens Churros with the fruit sauce," Lance scooted over to her and handed his sister the alien fruit.

"The gross ones?" She held the fruit with two hands sniffing at it.

"When he mixed the salt instead of sugar," Lance smirked again and Chloe stuck out her tongue.

"But it's all we have right now so eat up," he took a bit and frowned at the tart taste as Chloe made a sound in disgust when her face scrunched up looking at Lance with big cheeks full of the fruit.

"Gross right?" Lance chuckled at he swallowed the fruit.

"It's nasty!" She gagged with a panting breath.

"I know, I bet I can eat more than you," Lance teased knowing it would get her to eat it.

"No I can eat more!" Chloe gasped and started eating the fruit like an apple but stopped a few times to make a sound of disgust as Lance took his time to let her win.

"I win!" She called throwing the core across the cell and beamed at Lance.

"Oh man, I was totally going to win, probably couldn't eat anymore now," Lance handed her his fruit and she started to eat it to 'prove him wrong' but Lance just wanted her to have more strength for when they escaped. They can't stay here forever.

"Shut up you two! Some of us are trying to sleep!" A gruff voice shouted from the side and the humans flinched in surprise as Chloe grab led lances hand.

"Sorry," Lance gulped but heard foot steps coming to their cell and put Chloe behind him more. The door opened and instead someone was thrown into their cell rather then them being taken.

"Let me out you furry freaks!" It was a woman with yellow skin and four hair like pieces as two where over her shoulders with purple eyes.

"Get back dirt rat," a guard banged on the door. Lance stood as Chloe held onto his waist and they looked at the girl who was an alien.

"Who are you?" Lance bit his lip and she looked at the Cuban siblings with a glare.

"Nyma, your not galra," she crossed her large arms.

"No... What's galra?" Lance asked confused.

"The purple fuckers out there, the ones that are running this joint, your new aren't you," Nyma snorted and Lance nodded.

"Yea um were not part of whatever's going on, they just... Took over earth..." Lance frowned with dim eyes.

"Oh earth, your not part of the war are you," Nyma seem to take pity seeing the little girl behind Lance.

"No, please tell us everything that's going on, what the hell those things are, what a zarkon is, where we are, and what fucking war?" Lance pleaded and Nyma sat down tiredly.

"Alright, what's your names?" Nyma shrugged and the two sat against the wall again.

"Names Lance, this is my little sister Chloe," Lance told her and Nyma nodded.

"Nice to meet ya, and for what the hell those things are, those are the galra, a advance species that's ruled over the universe for 10,000 years," she began and Lance paled.

"Zarkons the emperor of the galra empire, your in space not sure with sector though but long ways from earth or that Galaxy, and the war..." Nyma smirked deviously at them.

"The rebels are fighting against zarkon and voltron is back in the game," Nyma looked at the two and Chloe was in awe.

"What's Voltron?" Lance asked.

"It's a weapon, the most powerful weapon that can actually make a difference and defeat zarkon, it's hope," Nyma smiled softly and Lance relaxed a little . There was something out there that actually is stronger than this empire.

"If 'voltron' defeats zarkon... Can we go home?" Lance asked softly and Nyma looked at him sadly.

"If there's a home to go back too," she looked down and Lance closed his eyes. What was earth now?

A planet or a memory?
