(Part Two)

Rated: PG

Prince Lotor's eyes gleamed as he viewed the five lions go into the formation that would enable them to form the robot Voltron. He activated a switch and said, "Robeast! You know what to do-just before the lions form Voltron, activate the pararay at four of the lions-leave the Blue Lion free-understand? You better get this right or you'll sold for scrap!" The handsome Prince scowled, too many times he had been thawarted by the Voltron Force. This time he would have the upper hand...

They were flying upward in formation, getting ready to form Volron. The robeast seemed slow on the uptake, so they all felt it would be easy to form the robot. Suddenly, as they were just about to connect, the robeast quickly hurled a wide beam upon the lions, paralyzing them and their occupants.

"AAgghhh!!" "Can't move!!"
"That robeast!!"
"Team, we're stuck!"
"I'm not!" Allura's voice came through the comm. "He missed me!"
Keith said, "Allura, watch out..he might have done that on purpose! Watch out!"
The robeast made a swipe at her again.
Lotor said, Yes..that's it..get her out of the way.."Robeast! Grab the other four in your pinchers!"The robeast quickly grabbed the paralyzed lions and grasped them. They could not move!

Allura swung around again, firing all her weapons, but the multi-armed robeast swung into her lion again, causing her to spin.
She screamed, "AAAAhhhhgghh!! I hate spins!!"
Lotor ground his teeth and yelled, "Fool Robeast! Don't hurt her!"
Allura righted herself and said, "Keith! Guys, Are you all right?"
She heard Keith say, "Yeah, but Princess, we're paralyzed-not only the lions but us too! Get away from Lotor's range!"
"But Keith! The Robeast!"
"He's busy with us, Allura! Get back to the Castle-you're not safe out here alone.."
Suddenly, a familar voice cut through all their comms. "He's right, my sweet..it's not safe for you to be out here alone..why don't you come join me?"
"Never!"
"Lotor, you creep! (I just had to put that in there!)" Keith yelled. "Leave her alone!"
The handsome Prince laughed and said, "Ah the heroic Akira! Always one to spout some line! Well, soon you will all be nice and quiet-the pararay will soon take care of that!"
Keith said, "Just what do you mean by that, Lotor?"
The prince leaned back in his chair and said, "Oh, it's just a little something Hagar cooked up..this ray will immobilize you permanently within a day. Soon you won't be able to think or hear or speak. You'll be mindless and willing to take orders-like any slave! Your lions shall be my trophies..and the Princess.." he paused for effect.."will be my lovely bride!"
Allura said, "Not if I can help it!"
She whipped Blue Lion around and taking care to avoid the robeast, she fired upon Lotor's ship. Lotor looked out over the viewscreen as the Blue Lion fired upon his heavy cruiser. He laughed and he said over the comm, "Princess..this isn't a way to greet your husband! Robeast! aim for Blue Lion's rear leg!"
Allura veered out of the way, but the Robeast's beam had just caught her rear stabilzer causing her to plummet. She adjusted but it was no use, all she could do was get Blue Lion down in one piece. Spotting a clearing in the middle of the woods behind the Castle of Lions, she guided the Lion in a not so great landing. Her lion ate scrub brush and bushes, but it was in one piece.

Allura looked down at herself and thought that tommorrow, she would probably be bruised all over. But that was not her main concern at the moment-she had to reach Keith. Before she could do so, Keith's voice came over her comm.
"Al-lurra.."
"Keith? Are you alright?"
"The ray..it's slowing down my speeech..you?"
"I landed..we're in it now, aren't we?"
"Yes..we'll keep trying to gettt frreee..must have a flawww..robeastss do.."
"Keith..please try..""Allurraaa..be carefull...Lotor.."
"I will.."

Again the familar voice of Lotor cut into her comm.
"My dear Princess..are you alright?"
Allura spat back. "Yes! No thanks to you!"
She heard Lotor laugh. "So spirited! That's what I love about my beautiful princess!"
"I'm not yours!"
Lotor said, "Oh but you will be! See your friends up there, my sweet? They can't move! My robeast can crush them easily. But if you surrender to me and become my bride, I will free them..what do you say, Allura?"
She said, "I will not surrender!"
He said, "Somehow I suspected as much..Robeast, show our little friend in the Green Lion how glad you are to see him!" The Robeast roared and started to crush the Green Lion. Allura could hear Pidge groan..
"he's created a hull breachhh...uh..Princess don't givvvee in...."
Allura screamed, "Stop! Lotor! Please!'
Inside his ship, the Prince smiled. "I will only stop if you agree to be my bride.."
Allura said, "Oh..god.."
Lotor smirked and said, "As an added incentive, my sweet, if you don't marry me, I will turn the Robeast on Arus and it will turn the pararay on to your citizens-making a planet full of tractable slaves! If you agree, I will not do this..and perhaps Arus will stand a chance against my father! It is not Arus I want..but you, my dear! What do you say? Hurry!"
Allura hung her head in defeat. "All right, Lotor -I agree to marry you.."
Lotor smiled a smile of victory and then he frowned. "Allura, why is your video offline? I want to see my pretty bride.."
Allura's eyes widened, .Oh no!.. She looked down at herself. I forgot about what I was wearing! Now what?
Lotor interrupted her thoughts and said, "My sweet..you will do everything I say..turn your video on.."
Allura stammered, .."Uh..I can't..it's malfunctioning.."
Lotor said, "Ah..not a problem, my love.. " Then he barked an order to someone.."Patch a connection through!"
Allura screamed just as her video indicator came on-the image of Prince Lotor appeared and he could see the interior of Blue Lion. He could only see her chair! Where did she go?

Allura crouched behind her chair, blushing. She thought..this is the most humiliating.. She heard Lotor's voice come through the comm. "Allura! Where are you? Come out!"She yelled without thinking, "No!"
The prince smiled , "Ah..so you are in there! I think I will pay a call on you, my sweet. I wish to greet my bride in person.."
Allura screamed, "No! You can't!"
Lotor frowned and said, "I can do anything I want Princess..and you will obey me-if you don't want your planet to be home for mindless slaves!"
Suddenly, the video went black and Allura panicked. What in the world was she going to do? Facing Prince Lotor in a Voltron uniform was one thing, facing him in barely anything was another. Well, she wasn't going to let him do anything without a fight! She ran to the small storage space in the back and grabbed a small blaster. She crouched behind her chair again. Hopefully, if he came in, she would get a clean shot at him...

She didn't have long to wait. Allura the sound of a laser cutting through the hatch door of her lion. She crouched, scared but ready for anything as the tall form of Prince Lotor went through the hatch. The Prince looked around.
He called, "Allura..I know you're hiding..come out and greet your bridegroom.."
No answer. Lotor's eyes narrowed. Something was going on here. It was not normal for Allura to hide like this. Was this perhaps a trick? Perhaps they switched lions somehow..
He called out again, "Princess, if you don't come out, I will order my robeast to--OOOF!!"
Allura tackled the Prince, knocking him down. Her blaster was in his face. She yelled, "Lotor! Let my friends go or I'll shoot!"
Lotor, at first was suprised and then he smirked, "Why, Allura, I didn't know you were so eager to see me.."
Then to her horror, he checked her clothing, or rather lack of - and added..
" and you dressed just for me.."
Allura to her shame, blushed. Seeing her momentary distraction, Lotor quickly knocked the blaster out of her hand, flipped her over and pinned her. Allura screamed in suprise. Lotor's face was above her own, smiling at her in victory.
He said,"I like your new uniform, Allura..I think after we are wed, I'll have you wear it - or maybe not..."
He laughed which only made her mad. .All this humiliation because of a malfunction!
Prince Lotor's eyes travelled over her and he said, "Now then, Allura..you won't back out of your promise, will you, my love?"
Allura's eyes blazed at him. "I wish I could! Oh, if we had Voltron-"
Lotor's eyes twinkled with amusement, "Oh, but you don't, my bride! I have you at last, and you, my dear have won my heart and my kingdom.."
He started to kiss her when she slapped him and said, "You beast! You have no heart!" (had to put that series staple in too)
Lotor's eyes narrowed and he yanked her wrists holding her fast. "I admire your spirit, Allura..but I do get tired of your slapping me every time I try to kiss you..remember your friends!"
Allura was angry but she knew that for the moment she had to give in-there was no choice! She stilled herself and Lotor smiled again.
"Good, my sweet..now I will show you that I indeed have a heart.." He let go of her wrists, took his hand up and gently touched her face.
He kissed her softly and said, "Allura..I do love you.."
Allura looked at him and said, "You don't know what love is, Lotor..you do all this, you hurt my friends, my planet.."
He said, "Only because I can't get you any other way.."
Before she could stop herself Allura said, "Have you ever tried being nice?"
Lotor looked puzzled. Nice? Him?
Then he smiled. "I will be more than nice to you, Princess.."
Allura thought..there's no getting through to him!..

He started to kiss her again when the comm signaled. Lotor started to yell and then stopped. It was Witch Hagar. She saw them on the floor and cackled with glee.
"So, Prince Lotor..are we getting started on the honeymoon early? heehee!"
"Shut up, Old Witch! You're here to marry us, not to make comments!"
The old witch laughed. "Well, if you'd quit fooling around, I will! That spell doesn't last forever you know!"
Allura thought ..he lied! It does wear off!..have to stall him so the wedding doesn't happen..then the rest of the team will be free from that spell and we can get them out of here!...now, how would I?..oh not that!..still it would distract him..if Nanny finds out about this, she'll kill me!...
Lotor said, "Hagar, you just make sure you're ready. I want us married and on our way to Doom right away!"
The old witch cackled and said, "Yes, I'm sure you do, young Prince-I know what'll you'll be doing too! hee hee!"
Lotor yelled, "Go away, Hagar! We'll be right there!"
Hagar cackled once more and she broke the connection.

Lotor turned to face her. "Now..where were we?"
..here goes.. Allura thought. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Right here, Lotor..." and she kissed him.
She wanted to laugh at the look of total shock on his face as she did that. She broke away and he had this dazed look on his face.
He said, "You kissed me.."
She forced a smile upon her face and said, "Yes.."
He searched her face and said, "Why?"
Allura said, "Well-I - I -I'm so embarrassed.."
"Tell me.."
"I- just that I-been resisting you because.."
"Yes..go on, my sweet.."
"Because you're so attractive.."
His eyes lit up. "Really, Allura?"
"Yes, I admit it. And this time I have no choice but to marry you, so I must make the best of things.."
Lotor's face was aglow with love and possesiveness. He held her tighter.
"I am so glad you feel that way, Allura.." He kissed her and said, "I am tempted to start our honeymoon now, my love, but I think we must get to the ship first and have Hagar marry us..Come.."
He got up off her and she scrambled up after him. She blushed as he surveyed her skimpy attire.
He smirked and said, "Such maidenly modesty...my sweet-so appealing!"
He caught her in his arms and kissed her. She struggled a little and she whispered,"Lotor..the wedding, remember?"
He broke away and said, "You're right, my love..but after..."
Allura thought ..let's hope not!..
He scooped her up in his arms and carried her outside to his ship.

In Castle Control, Nanny and Coran watched in horror (they got cameras in the woods, 'kay?) as they saw Prince Lotor carrying Allura to his ship.
"Coran! Look! Vhat my beby ist wearink!"
Coran said, " Oh my...or not wearing..."
Nanny immediately went into hysterics.."Oh, my beby! He's ruinted her! He's ruinted her!"
And then she fainted! Coran could only watch numbly and wring his hands in helplessness. (like he always seemed to do in the series) Arua was doomed without the Voltron Force and it looked like Allura was lost to them unless a miracle happened.

Meanwhile, Lotor reached his ship carrying Allura. As soon as he stepped in, Hagar cackled, "So, did you get her pregnant yet?"
Lotor glared at her and said, "Shut up! Let's get this wedding started!"
Allura thought ..Ohno!.. She couldn't get away either, because Lotor still had her in his arms. She said, "Lotor..could you put me down?"
He gave her a smirk and said, "No, my love, because after we're wed, I will carry you to our bedroom..this saves time see?"
Hagar cackled and said, "And believe me, Princess, you'll be spending a lot of time in there! heehee!"
Lotor bellowed, "Shut up, Hagar!"
The old witch said, "Hmmph! Be nice now, young Prince..after all, I can marry you two.."
Lotor sighed and said, "All right Hagar..just get this started..we need to get out of here before the spell wears off.."
The old witch said, "You want the long or the short version.?"
Lotor had just about enough! "Short! Old Witch! Short!"
Hagar said, "Now, now..temper, temper!!"
Lotor wanted to kill her. "Get on with it!"
Hagar said, "Ok, ok! Don't get your hormones in a bunch..Prince Lotor, do you take Princess Allura to be your bride?"
"Yes.."
The old witch nodded at Allura and said, "And do you, Princess Allura, take Prince Lotor to be your husband-to have and to hold whether you want to or not..heehee!"
"Hagar!"
"Sorry!! heehee! Well, do you dear Princess?"
"Uh-I - I .."
"Allura..say the words, my sweet and you'll make me a happy man.."
"I- I uh....do....BOOOOMMMMM!!!

A blast rocked Lotor's cruiser and knocked everyone down! Allura scrambled up first and yelled, "I DON"T!!!" and ran!!!
Hagar and Lotor got up and Lotor yelled at her. "Stupid witch! It's the Voltron Force! They must have destroyed the Robeast! Use your magic! I'll get Allura!"
He started to run when Hagar said, "I'm not doing any magic!"
Lotor spun around and yelled, "What?"
She said, "I came with you as a favor, Lotor..today's my day off! Gotta rest you know! hee! hee! You're on your own, lover boy! Better get your bride!!"
Lotor snarled at her and ran after Allura. He yelled, "You won't get away, Allura! You're mine!"

Allura ran out of the ship with Lotor in hot pursuit! Keith, in the Black Lion, now fully recovered (just in time for the commercial break) swooped down and buzzed the Prince! Lotor ducked and cursed Keith. Lotor looked up and his beautiful ( and scantily clad) princess was gone! The rest of the Voltron Force was fighting his fleet and winning! Lotor ran back into his cruiser and called a reteat. He cursed Hagar and his bad luck. As he escaped (like he always does) he thought of Allura and vowed (like he always did) to make her his wife. They escaped to Doom where Lotor was haunted again by the beautiful (and scantily-clad ) princess..(To Be Continued)
