COMPLETED
Two years have passed since Allura's sacrifice saved all realities. The former Paladins of Voltron have moved on with their lives, though they keep in contact with one another as much as possible.
One day, unexpectedly, Shiro is found dead...
Along the way, Romelle learns that the male native's name is Pelg and the female's name is Rebber. They lead her and Kosmo through the desert landscape, until they reach a giant rock formation that is clearly large enough to be a palace. Inside, they lead her to a lavish throne room that looks a bit out of place. Sitting on the throne is the queen, just as short but rounder than most of the other people around her.

"Queen Vleela," Pelg says with a bow. "We have brought to you a Paladin of Voltron, and... her companion."
The Queen looks shocked. "Someone made it through our security?" She shouts. "This has never happened before!"
"Team Voltron has done a lot of impossible things," Romelle comments, bowing slightly. "But trust me when I say, we come in peace."
"We?" Queen Vleela repeats, staring at Kosmo. The wolf is panting calmly, but his size is still intimidating.
"Don't mind him, he belongs to my team's leader," Romelle explains. "The rest of my team is waiting beyond the gas mass surrounding your planet. We would greatly appreciate it if you could let them through."
"Absolutely not!" Queen Vleela shouts. "Not until I know what it is you have come for! And even then, I still might not let them through."
Romelle sighs deeply, still favoring her arm. Queen Vleela takes notice of this, and orders for a doctor to be brought to the throne room at once. "You must have been through a lot to make it past our defenses," she tells Romelle. "I am protective of my planet and of my people, but I am not a cruel woman."
"I believe you," Romelle says. "My team and I, we have come seeking knowledge. We wish to know of the... the kloflax?"
Everyone in the throne room gasps. Queen Vleela glares at Romelle, as a doctor comes in and begins to check Romelle's arm. "I should have known," the Queen says. "You are just like everyone else. Everyone we wish to keep away from our planet!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean," Romelle says. "We don't even know what the kloflax is! We have just heard that it could help us with our mission."
Queen Vleela regards Romelle thoughtfully. "And what exactly is your mission?"
"To defeat the Mrawls," Romelle replies.
Another collective gasp ripples through the room. "Mrawls?" Queen Vleela whispers. "You...You're sure they're Mrawls?"
"Yes," Romelle says. "We just fought one after leaving the planet Xeras. Those creatures destroyed it..."
"So Mrawls have returned," Queen Vleela says. "Those horrendous creatures... Those vile, bloodthirsy beasts are the ones who destroyed my people's original home world thousands of years ago."
"I am so sorry to hear that," Romelle says comfortingly. "But we are hoping maybe your kloflax, whatever it is, can help us get rid of them once and for all."
