Your P.O.V. -

We were faster as Voltron, but Lotor's generals knew that. They immediately went to the offensive so we would be stuck on the defensive. With their every shot we dodged but they used their ships to make a collective blate, three times stronger than the normal blasts. Without being able to dodge, Voltron formed the shield and the blast pushed us into a nearby rock.

"I'm headed your way!" Coran yelled.

"Coran, no!" Keith yelled back. "The Castle of Lions barely survived the first time we fought one of those ships. You'll only--"

The blast became stronger.

"Keith is right, Coran," said Allura. "The ship's defenses will never hold!"

"Guys, we can't take this much longer!" Pidge yelled.

"Do you guys have any ideas?" Lance asked.

"Coran, fire just below our position," Keith instructed.

"What?" Coran asked.

"Destroy the rock we're pinned against. Now!"

The castle powered up a blast and completely destroyed the rock and it had a strong enough aftershock to blast Voltron away.

"Lance! Pidge!" Keith yelled. "I need you to get us some cover."

"Right!"

"On it!"

The Red and Green Lions blasted at almost every small piece of rock that was around us.

"Who's got eyes on Shiro?" Keith yelled.

Each ship closed in on Voltron and grabbed us with whip-like weapons. The ships dragged us to a large rock and slammed Voltron into it. I almost fell out of my seat.

"What just happened?" I asked.

There was a loud sound from above us and a purple wormhole opened.

"Is that...?"

"A wormhole," said Lance.

"They're trying to escape," said Keith.

"Haggar," Allura breathed. "It has to be Haggar. She must have gained the ability. But how?"

"We can't worry about that," said Keith. "We have to make sure we get Shiro back."

"But Shiro's not Shiro anymore," said Hunk.

"Shiro hasn't been Shiro for a long time," I said.

"I know, but something is wrong with him," said Keith. "The Galra or Lotor have to be behind it. We all know he would never give up on us. We can't give up on him."

Voltron slowly stood up before blasting to the wormhole. But we were too slow.

"Guys, one of my thruster is down," said Keith. "Can you compensate?"

"Those beams torched our power core," Pidge explained. "I've never seen anything like it."

"We've got maybe 30 seconds of over-clocked burn time," said Hunk.

"Hit it!"

Our speed increase over double. We were closing in on the ships.

"We're halfway through our burn," said Hunk. "25%... 15%... 8%"

"We're not going to make it!" Lance yelled.

"We're too heavy!" said Pidge.

The wormhole began to close.
