Summary:

After Zarkon's defeat, his son, Prince Lotor, decides to take a different approach to defeat Voltron. And it involves a certain freckled Cuban boy and his insecurities.

Notes:

I've wanted to write a klancelot fic for the longest time, so hopefully I will be able to do the wonderful trio justice. :P

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Prince Lotor, son of Emperor Zarkon of the Galra empire, had been watching the paladins of Voltron for a while. And he had finally decided to bring his plan into action.

 

"Send a message to Princess Allura," he spoke into the large screen in front of him.

 

-

 

Princess Allura, Coran and the paladins of Voltron had not been rather active in recent times. After the defeat of Zarkon, the paladins had spent some time finding Shiro, (who had simply been lost into the depths of space) before they retreated to the Castle Of Lions, and decided to spend some time both recovering, and bonding with their lions and each other.

 

And it was another day, Lance still remained in bed, Keith was busy on the training deck, Shiro was out with the black lion, Pidge and Allura were working on the computers in the ship and Hunk was attempting to teach Coran some Earth cooking.

 

Suddenly, the largest screen in the main deck began to flash static.

"Princess, what is that?" Pidge turned to Allura with concern as lights started to flash.

Allura did not wait to respond, and was already shouting into the speaker that would transmit her voice all around the castle, "PALADINS RETURN TO THE MAIN DECK AT ONCE!"

As the paladins ran through the halls, wondering what was going on, the static on the main screen switched to the blurred face of what appeared to be a Galra soldier.

"Pidge have you tracked where these signals are coming from?"

Pidge typed swiftly on a keyboard, "We seem to be receiving some kind of message from another ship."

Almost as soon as all of the paladins had gathered in the room, the blurred image flashed suddenly and switched to a much clearer image.

"Princess what's going on?" Shiro shouted just before all of the chaos died down, lights and alarms settled and the face upon the screen was finally clear.

 

"Princess Allura, my dear, what a pleasure to see you again."

 

Never in her wildest nightmares would Allura have guessed that she would be seeing Lotor again in her lifetime.

"Prince Lotor," she whispered under her breath, in shock.

"Who is that?" Hunk and Keith asked in sync to no one in particular.

 

"Well, let me make this short and sweet , I, Prince Lotor, have returned to take my father's place. And I thought I would give you paladins a slight warning before I meet you in person."

 

"What are you saying, you fiend?" Coran spoke up in anger, since the princess was speechless.

 

"I'm saying that my soldiers are flying this ship right to your location and I'm about to blow a hole in your ship and come to greet you all."

 

And with that, the static returned and alarms began to shriek once more.

"I'm getting sights of a ship, it's gaining on us rather quickly," Pidge checked the coordinates on their screen.

Shiro placed a gentle hand on Allura's shoulder, "Who is that, Princess?".

She shook her head and took a deep breath, "That, is Prince Lotor, the son of Zarkon".

The paladins looked upon her in shock, they had no idea that Zarkon had any relations.

"It is true. Lotor has been in hiding for thousands of years, no one thought that he would ever return. He spent a small amount of time working with his father, but he was more focused on the princess's heart more than anything else," Coran spoke since the princess was still in shock.

The ship suddenly shook and the team fell to the ground as more lights blared. There was a loud bang, alike an explosion, "The ship has been hit!" Pidge shouted amongst all of the noise.

 

On the other side of the castle, Lotor jumped out of his own ship, through the hole that he had created in the side of the castle. He had angled it perfectly so that the hole was positioned in the air lock of the ship, so that no real damage was caused and it could still fly.

"None of you follow me, I will call you when you are needed," he ordered his guards without even looking back, and he hit the button to open the air lock before striding down the corridor, towards the main deck.

 

The paladins regained their balance, Shiro helping Allura up off the ground. She had finally gotten over the initial shock of seeing the villainous Galra alive and well, and was now experiencing extreme anger at the damage that had been caused to her castle.

"I never thought that I would see him again, after so long," Allura muttered under her breath.

The seven stood there for a few moments, before the door suddenly slid open and a dark figure stepped onto the deck. His long white hair swayed at his sides, armour glistened astonishingly, and his perfectly chisled face formed a snarky smile.

"The prince enters!" his arms rose above his head, as if he was welcoming an applause.

"You came unguarded?" Shiro asked, his robotic arm lighting up as he prepared to fight the foolish prince.

"Why yes, none of you would dare to cross me, would you?"

Shiro was the only one with a weapon in that moment, (since his weapon was his hand) therefore he decided to do the honours and run at Lotor.

"Ooh, we have a feisty one," Lotor said with a grin.

Shiro pulled his arm up, aiming for the prince's neck, but Lotor had already taken a step backwards, and grabbed Shiro's arm as he fell forwards, forcing him onto his knees before he turned his body and kicked him harshly on the back, leaving him flying forward onto the ground, defeated.

"Anyone else?" Lotor left the paladin to recover himself as he stepped away and welcomed any other competitors.

Keith gritted his teeth, he knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against the Galra without a weapon, but he so hated seeing Shiro defeated. Shiro himself stood up, accepting defeat and not attempting to leap at the prince again, although he began to construct a plan of attack in his head, if it was needed.

"Lotor, what do you want? You have damaged my ship and fought one of my paladins, without saying a word," Allura spoke angrily.

"Oh Princess do calm down, after all these years you greet me like that ?"

"I repeat, what. do. you. want," she said, through gritted teeth.

" I want someone. "

"You won't take the princess, you villain!" Coran spoke up from the princess's side.

"Oh really? I'm not sure you have a say in it, old man."

At this point, the paladins were confused. This Galra, supposed son of Zarkon, had sauntered in, just to speak his sass, completely unguarded. And now he was announcing that he wanted the princess? And none of them were fighting back? It certainly was an unusual event.

"I want the one with the piercing blue eyes and perfect dark skin," he had a seductive yet scary tone to his voice, sounding exactly like a storybook villain.

Everyone in the room turned to Allura, "you can't take me Lotor."

The prince smirked and secretly brought his band round to his hip, pressing a hidden button on his armour.

"Oh no, not you princess. "

She looked at him with a mix of confusion and irritation.

"I meant long legs, in the back," he pointed with a long purple finger to Lance, stood silently at the back of the group, his face full of bewilderment.

Almost straight after he announced this, a swarm of Galra guards stormed onto the deck and two grabbed Lance by the arms, pulling him away from the scene while he struggled intensely.

"NO LANCE!" Hunk (the precious soul) screamed at his best friend, before he was tackled to the ground by one of the guards.

 

The final scene was one that Lotor would look back on and chuckle at. The paladins each lay on the ground, after being halted in their struggles by the guards, while Lance screamed and kicked as he was dragged away.

 

"Knock him out," the prince spoke, his face stone serious for the first time.

 

A final scream left the tan boy's mouth, before all he saw was black.
