Side Note: I've uploaded a few chapters before this one, I know in the past that Wattpad hasn't always popped up with all my updates. So, make sure to check back and see if you've read them first.
Side Note 2: Also, sorry for a slight mistake made on my part. Lotor ship separates into three parts it seemed meaning Zethrid is flying with Ezor and Acxa. Sorry for that mistake and I'll make sure to count all three this time.

With Keith and Pidge,
Within the Black Lion...
He couldn't help but freeze up as his eyes grew wide at the sight before them, his gripping tightening on the controls as they looked to the fleet of Galra cruisers before them.
The rest of Voltron left back at the remains of Daibazaal meaning their own backup was inside the black lion already. But knowing that his back up was now Pidge who already admitted that her people didn't fully love her as the princess even after all she's done for them and how much she's proven herself to them in the past.
He was rather liking the idea of having Slav as his only back up .. might be cruel but Keith didn't want one of the most hated people by the Galra people as his back up.
It was a death sentence and they both knew it.
"Quiznak, I bet you're really regretting your live choices now, cowboy" Pidge commented as she leaned forward, knowing somewhere in one of those cruises stood her brother, Kuro and the witch who very much hated her.
"Might be just a little, this seemed like a rather good idea when I thought it was just going to be us and Kuro on the other side of that wormhole. I may have been very much mistake and is really hoping that you could use some Princess magic like Allura against our guests" Keith replied without any shame over his shaken up he was since Pidge was the same and neither would admit to being scared shitless whenever anyone asked them later.
"I'm not Altean, I'm adopted. Plus, I think Haggar hates me as much as my brother hated our father" Pidge answered with a nervous frown as she popped her head beside Keith, her grip staying tight on the back of the pilot chair.
"That bad" Keith muttered back in horror.
"That bad" Pidge answered with a serious look making Keith looked back at the galra cruises towards them.
"Can we agree that you're the worst person to join me on this trip" Keith commented as kept the black lion flying rather slow, building up their time to reaching the cruises.
"Says the hot-headed guy who hits first and thinks later. You got us into this mess" Pidge shot back unamused and Keith just rolled his eyes.
"My way of thinking sometimes works out perfectly" Keith argued back in his defence.
"Why don't you pop out of the lion and tell your new friends that?" Pidge dryly replied as she lifted an unbelieving eyebrow towards him.
"I said "sometimes" this is just one of those unlucky turns of events" Keith sighed in defeat.
"Oh Quiznak, they're shooting at us" Pidge whispered in horror as she noticed the curies start to glow a little before shots came rushing towards them. Both of them jolting as the left wing of the black lion got hit, sparks shooting out from it.
"Okay, gotta play this smart" Keith mumbled out as he moved the controls while Pidge filled with horror.
"We're doomed" Pidge cried out, stepping back before the pilot chair and holding onto it for dear life.
The other side of the clouds of cruisers..
(Another way of saying behind the many, many galra cruisers)
"Wow! He actually made it" Ezor muttered out impressed as she watched the black lion start dodging all the attacks, flying past cruisers trying to reach them in time before they fully have Lotor and Kuro in their hold.
"Can I kill him now?" Zethrid asked hopeful making her other two teammates roll their eyes.
"No, Zethrid. You two escort the package back to Honerva. I'll take of this one" Acxa answered sternly, a determined look in his eyes.
"Hang on, did you just say Honerva instead of Haggar" Pidge voice popped up over Lotor coms, the perk of being a hacking genius and knowing her brother codes so well.
She also enjoyed the second of hearing the three generals jump in fright and yelp ever so slightly over having her pop up in their lives once more. It really was a pleasing moment even if she was in the black lion being shot at while Keith used his amazing pilot skills to keep them alive.
"Didn't I tell you not to touch my lion?" Keith roared in the background over the coms making Pidge give a guilty laugh.
"Focus on not trying to get us killed, I'm learning important intel right now and who knows, I might find out if Acxa likes-likes you. Lotor told me the gossip of you two meeting before hand, a little spark forming on Acxa end apparently" Pidge ordered back towards Keith before a cheeky and teasing tone took over as she turned back towards the coms more knowing Acxa was listening.
"I-I do not!" Acxa screamed back embarrassed making Pidge just snicker.
"Oh really, so you never day dreamed over him .. not even once" Pidge asked casually as she checked our her fingertips, even if she was wearing her suit gloves.
"Oh she totally did" Zethrid answered without missing a beat as Acxa gasped over the betrayal.
"She even has a voltron poster hidden in her room" Ezor added in her playful teasing tone.
"Oh do tell me more ladies" Pidge grinned as she kneeled down in the lion, leaning her elbows on the edge of the screen and rested her chin in her hands.
"I feel like I shouldn't be hearing this" Keith commented in despair as he felt like he was sneakily listening in on a group of high school girls sleepover boys talk.
"Oh shush, this is important stuff. Now, tell me she has the limited addition poster of the ex red paladin, not his new black paladin one" Pidge huffed back, slapping Keith armoured shoulder before turning her attention back on the coms and asking the most important question she could.
"Yes she dose!" Zethrid yelled out, Acxa embarrassed squeak filling the background of the coms.
"She's kept it rolled up but we found it and she clearly get's lonely some nights, clinging to it like it was really him" Ezor squealed out excitedly.
"EZOR!" Acxa cried out embarrassed, trying to scold her friends for doing this.
"She has it worse then when she had that thing for Lotor" Zethrid commented as she gave Acxa a pity look even if they couldn't see each other faces.
"No way! I have to hear more about this, Acxa finally growing up to become a lovely grown women" Pidge spoke up excitedly, leaning forward like she could fall throw the coms and appear in one of their laps for more of the gossip in detail.
"Well, after her feelings got in the way and she ended up saving Lotor that one time, making all three of us labelled traitors for helping to kill the last king. We got thrown in prison and well, we had a lot of free time on our hands to think over our lives and such boring stuff. That's when Acxa noticed Keith not being about during the trade and well, she started catching feelings from just the thought of their last meetings" Ezor replied, clearly rolling her eyes and still a little bitter over Acxa getting them all branded as traitors making her gladly pass on the gossip to do with her friend one-sided love life.
"Sounds to me like a certain lady is in heat already" Pidge smirked, wiggling her eyebrows.
"I am not!" Acxa screamed back in horror.
"Denial is a galra trait" Pidge reminded rather calmly.
"And she has it bad" Zethrid admitted, nodding her head as she knew her own words to be true.
"Zethrid!" Acxa scolded back.
"Just saying what I see and everyone can see what you're dealing with. We all know when you're thinking over that paladin, because girl do you go into heat fast" Zethrid casually answered, giving an unbothered shrug over Acxa trying to scold her.
"I don't have heats" Acxa snapped back annoyed.
"Well, you do now it seems" Pidge shot back like a concerned mother making Acxa just scream in irritation earning Pidge to just smirk.
"And it get's better, after Honerva gave us a place to stand since we helped saved her son from Zarkon. Sendak being Honerva main commander, giving Acxa got more free time to check the files over the ex red paladin and she really did search on him. But sadly for her heated self, the system had a lot of information on voltron but not it's current paladins. Acxa got stuck with nothing more then the limited addition poster" Ezor rambled on mindlessly, having no clue what bit of information she just passed on to her enemy.
"I-I just found it by mistake and never found time to burn it" Acxa stuttered back, trying to defend herself even if everyone lese knew she was lying.
"Sounds to me like you burned it with your heated passion for the guy" Pidge answered as she shook her head over Acxa horny ways.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this but I miss hearing Matt rants over flirting with certain chicks or guys. I'll even take Lance stupid chats over this one right now" Keith whispered to himself as he tried his very best to focus on not getting him, Pidge or mostly the black lion killed as they still got shot at by all the cruisers around them.
"See you soo ladies, say hi to my brother for me. He's never been a good drinker and it's a little embarrassing that I still have to pick him up like this" Pidge called back in a perky mode before popping herself on mute to stay listening in on the other three for a bit longer without them knowing.
"Why did you have to make this ride even more awkward by adding girl chat" Keith asked in despair, glancing as an alarm went off showing Acxa heading towards them.
"Call it girl chat but I found out rather important intel but listening to them gossip. More intel then any spy could ever gain within months of going undercover" Pidge shot back with a straight face, moving to sit with her back to the side controls and straighten her legs out.
"Yeah, you learnt that Acxa has an old poster of me that I didn't even know that people sold. You also learnt that she doesn't go in heat but acting like she dose whenever she thinks over me .. thanks for adding that to my cringey nightmares list" Keith deadpanned, tightening his hold on the controls as he got ready to dodge Acxa shots aimed at them.
"Sure, you might have only noticed that bit of strange detail that I wasn't bothered over but I found the good parts. Haggar is now Honerva, she called Lotor as her son and she's mostly using Sendak to do any other bit of dirty work around the universe. Meaning, Sendak is the new Zarkon that we have to stop. Haggar has her memories back, most guest all of them if she's going by Honerva again and went this far to return her son. Honerva is going to be rather dangerous to handle from now on, she's fully awoken and is back at full power, she's going to bring her wrath upon us and I'm sure you already know she's Altean. I'm not liking any intel we just learnt but we have to pass it on, we need to figure out what she's planning now she has Lotor safely in her hands again. We also have to fear over her reaction when Lotor returns her as his true mother, he long gave up on wanting a mother or searching for her, he's made peace over that but he won't forgive Haggar of all people being his real mother. Our shitty lives are going to become really fucked up soon" Pidge rambled back, a serious look on her face but her voice low and scared as real fear and panic filled her eyes as she knew of the oncoming danger heading towards the whole of the universe now Honerva had awoken.
"You are the most terrifying thing I have ever met" Keith answered as he glanced over his shoulder to look at the women who just found all that out by hacking her brother ship for some ladies gossip.
Pidge really was a dangerous and scary women, rather strong too since he still remembered how sore he was after she attacked him during her break out in t he castle when they caught her that one time.
"Aww, thanks" Pidge replied back with a sweet smile as Keith shakily went back to trying to stop them from all dying.
"Hang on, how did you know Honerva is actually Haggar? Zarkon ruled as a single king, no marriage mentioned during his evil years" Keith asked as he kept his focus on Acxa but letting his thoughts leak out.
"Lotor wasn't the only one wondering over his family, I was called a Galra cub but I was the only one like me in every galra cruiser. No other race looked like me until Sam, Matt and Takashi was caught. I was rather lonely growing up, having to prove myself to everyone around me while never being accepting. I had my brother but he became focused on his own life, his hate for our father growing each day until the point I forgot how it felt to have a supporting older brother instead of a brother I had to keep an eye out for and pretend to be the perfect little sister who didn't know his plans. The sister who looked the other way as she her brother betrayed her. Only my father looked at me as an equal, praise me and welcomed me. But as a young cub who did her best and still seemed to lose against everything in my life .. I wanted to search for my family, wondering if they hated me as much as the world seemed too" Pidge admitted in a weak voice, pain in her eyes as she remembered the time she tried finding out who her real family was and wondering if they ever wanted her or just so her as a failure or disgrace like the rest of her race did.
"You found Lotor mother when you were searching for your own link to home. A link to the two people who should have loved you the most and gave you a happy home where you were the greatest thing alive no matter if you were different or not" Keith carried on for Pidge, hearing her give a small hum in agreement.
"I was a smart cub, wasn't hard to hack into the locked files and find the intel I had hoped to lead me to my own past. I never told my brother, nor anyone else. My father and Haggar clearly had no memory after waking from the dead and I thought it was best that way. Zarkon and Honerva were two different people when they stood as Husband and Wife, it would only be heart breaking to let the real truth out during these times" Pidge sighed as she pushed herself to stand, grabbing the pilot chair as Keith was thrashing the black lion around.
"You really think Lotor will reject Honerva?" Keith asked with a small frown.
"I know he will because Honerva will expect to be see as the perfect mother once more. She would act like the past thousand years made no difference over her skills as his mother, she gave birth to him so he must love her in return. That's not how Lotor works, he won't forgive her during all these years or how she allowed herself to be tempted by the path of evil. Zarkon died to save his wife, Honerva died because of her obsession over the Trans-Reality Comet and gaining more Quintessence. She even rejected Lotor after giving birth to him and let her greed carry on controlling her until it killed her. She may think she's Lotor mother by them sharing blood but in Lotor eyes, she's not his mother and never will be" Pidge answered coldly as she glanced out of the window, Keith tensing slightly as he had a feeling Pidge was right over all this.
"You are to lead the Black Lion away from the fleet. Is that understood?"
