The Paladins summoned their bayards and prepared for the oncoming fight.

"How did you get past the guards?!" Caesha yelled at Ezor.

"What, those old guys?" Ezor mocked in a cheery voice, "you're losing your touch, princess."

"You have no place here, Ezor!"

With lightning-fast speed, the two girls drew out their daggers and became locked in combat.

The three other alien girls behind Ezor lept in and began to face off against the paladins.

Pidge and Kady were stuck fighting Narti, Keith and Lance fought Acxa, and Shiro, Matt and Hunk were against Zethrid.

Coran backed into a corner, completely at a loss for what to do, while Allura stood there, shocked, and looking around for some form of weapon so she could join the fight.

"So you know them?" Pidge called out to Kady.

"Ezor is from our planet. She had a different name at birth, but her name was changed to Ezor when she betrayed us. It means 'traitor'," Kady explained.

"Wow! Cool stor-"

Narti took advantage of Pidge's distraction and hit her with her reptilian tail.

Pidge grunted in pain and Kady lept in just in time to catch her.

"Are you ok?" Kady asked.

Pidge massaged her stomach.

"Hehe! my tummy feels funny!" She giggled and stood back up.

Narti swung at them with her tail again and Pidge raised her shield, blocking the attack just in time. The blow pushed the two back into Keith, who then fell onto Lance, who then fell onto Acxa.

Acxa grunted in annoyance and kicked the paladins off her. They then fell over again right in front of Zethrid, who then subsequently tripped over them, landing on top of the pile.

"This is a total disaster!" Allura cried.

Pidge burst out laughing. She crawled out of the pile of people and began rolling around laughing hysterically.

Zethrid growled in annoyance and stood up.

"What is wrong with you? Stop laughing!"

Kady, Lance and Keith jumped up.

All eyes were now on Pidge, and the fighting had stopped. Except for Caesha and Ezor, who showed no sign of seeing the paladin's fumbling.

"We need to get her out of here," Matt sighed, clearly annoyed.

The generals rolled their eyes and decided to continue the fight. Narti ran at Shiro and Hunk, and Keith then ran at Acxa, sword drawn.

Lance and Kady were then charged down by Zethrid

The fight continued, and everyone made sure not to step on the laughing child on the floor.

Allura had picked up a stray knife and joined in the fight. Coran had left to find some more guards.

Somehow, Pidge was still laughing. Everyone was getting very concerned, but no-one could get away from the fight to help her out.

Eventually, she rolled over towards the door. Kady realized what was about to happen a second before it did.

Pidge rolled into the front door, pushing it open and fell out of sight.

"Pidge!" Kady cried out in alarm.

Pidge yelled out as she fell and Kady ran over to the door to check on her friend.

"Quiznak!"

She heard someone yell as she looked outside.

Coran was making his way up the stairs with a couple dozen keesian guards and had just caught Pidge before she hit the ground.

Kady ran down the stairs.

"Pidge! Pidge, are you ok?" She asked and she picked her up.

Pidge rubbed her head.

"W-what happened?" She groaned. "Why am I on the staircase?"

"Let's just say, you went insane after you had that energy drink, Lotor's generals attacked and you fell down the stairs. Are you alright?"

"Yeah," Pidge nodded, "just a bit of a headache."

Kady let out a sigh of relief.

"Great. Now let's go back to the fight," she smiled and pulled Pidge to her feet. "Now that we have the guards, we might hopefully get them to leave!"

The two girls ran up the stairs, closely followed by Coran and the guards and burst into the entrance hall.

The guards circled around the fighting group and began to close in around the generals.

Narti, Acxa and Zethrid backed together, and Caesha kicked Ezor and she landed alongside her comrades.

"We can beat these guys! We need to keep fighting!" Zethrid encouraged.

"No, we can not! We must go," Acxa scolded and Zethrid nodded in defeat.

The four girls ran towards the door, pushed some guards out of the way and left.

"Well be back, princess. Just you wait," they heard Ezor yell.

Caesha rolled her eyes.

"Of course she will."

"Well, that- could've gone better." Shiro scratched his head nervously.

"Tell me about it," Kady said, smiling at Pidge.
