TIME SKIP: AFTER SEASON 2:

Meanwhile...

Lotor had escaped Lance's room in the garrison and had found a small shack in the desert. It had all these weird cryptic boards and notebooks filled with mothman theories.

Weird.

Lotor had been staying here for the past 6 months. Ever since Lance vanished.

Lotor had done everything he could to find him.

Lotor had to go to space again, find the tech that would help locate him!

Suddenly, the landline rang.

"Um, Hello?" Lotor picked it up.

"Hello Prince Lotor," a voice hissed on the other side.

"How did you find me." Lotor demanded.

"That doesn't matter. You're being given a second chance."

"What?"

"Zarkon is on his deathbed. The empire leads leadership. We will send a pod."

The line went dead.

Lotor thought about it. He wanted nothing to do with the empire. He had no interest in ruling it. But if he got back to the galra, he could use the advanced tech to locate Lance and the others!

_____________

Lotor step onto the Galra empire mothership.

"Welcome back Prince Lotor," Haggar walked up to him. "Wonderful to see you again."

"We both know that's a lie, witch," Lotor sneered.

Haggar noddeed. "You've gotten smarter. Hopefully it will be enough to defeat Voltron."

"I am the ruler of this empire now. And I will rule how I want." Lotor turned to her. "And Voltron will be ignored until I see it with my own eyes."

"But sire-"

"Silence witch!" Lotor yelled. "I will rule this empire my own way and use its resources however I please!"

"Excuse me?! You have a duty to protect your people-"

"Are you talking back to your Prince?" Lotr glared.

Haggar went silent(finally).

"Good."
