Colourful revelations.

(Chrysalis)

Having moved out onto the barren sands, I stood before Diego and my personal guards. Looking up at my hive, I saw the worker drones swiftly mending the hole that Diego made on his arrival. Feeling the same underneath my shoes, I concentrated on the strange sensation I felt before. It seemed to be getting easier with practice as I didn't need to concentrate as hard as before. Holding one hand to the glistening brown sand before me and another up to the sky, I pulled on that strange sensation again.

"Nice, nice. Just keep going." Diego encouraged me as I felt the sensation grow. Opening my eyes from my concentration, I looked at my hand, glowing light brown. Looking down, I saw the sand bleached white. "So it's not green. It's colour. You can absorb colours." Diego commented.

"Fascinating." I said as I looked at the brown glow around my hand.

"Try making something like what you did with the green." Diego called out.
Making something? Very well… I thought, focusing on my upward facing hand. The light brown glow shifted to it as something began forming. After a few seconds, a fist shaped segmented brown gem sat in my hand.

"Whoa, what is that?" Diego asked as he came closer. "Biggs Jasper? What's-" Diego began, obviously talking to his mental companion. "Whoa whoa whoa, skip the gemmology lesson." He continued. "Then why didn't you just say that? Voltron says it's a perfect Biggs Jasper." Diego explained as he looked at me. I looked at the large gemstone for a moment before signaling a guard to take it.

Seeing that my hands were still glowing, I concentrated again. Pressing my hands together, I focused again, feeling something form in-between my hands. Looking at the object, I saw a small transparent brown crystal.

"What? What's this?" I asked. Diego looked at it for a moment before replying.

"Brown glass." He answered.

"Brown glass? But why didn't I make more Jasper?" I wondered as I stared at the piece of glass.

"Were you trying to make more or were you just making something brown?" Diego asked me. I thought for a moment before realising he was right.

"I suppose not. It seems that I will need to learn how to control this." I said, looking at my hands.

"Well, Luna picked it up like a fish to water so it can't be that hard." Diego said, making me raise an eyebrow.

"Luna? Oh, you mean the princess- wait. I forgot about that." I said, remembering princess Luna's bizarre ability. "She could absorb darkness. Like I can absorb colours."

"Yeah. You both have different versions of the genetic ability. Although, neither of us know how." Diego said, pointing at his head.

My queen. I heard from the hive-mind. Holding up my hand for silence, I focused on the connection.
Yes?

The princesses were worried about your situation. I have informed them that everything has been settled. They asked if you could detain the imposters for them, they shall send a group of guards to collect them. The changeling said.
What are the guards' names? I asked.

They are three Magicians. One is white skinned, one is pink skinned and the final one is blue skinned. The pink skinned one is the executive guard. They reported.
Thank you. That will be all.

"The princesses are sending a group of guards to take the imposters." I told Diego.

"Oh good. That's good to know. Anyway, I think I should be getting back to the capital, princess Celestia wanted to properly introduce our new guest." Diego said, turning to face in the direction of the far away city.

"Very well. Thank you for your help, Diego. You are my hero." I said with a genuine smile.

"Just doing my job." Diego said mirthfully, taking off a moment later. I turned back to my guards.

"Have the drones bring me some different paints. I wish to continue testing my new ability." I ordered.

"Yes, my queen." The guards responded as I turned back to the sand.

I flew back to the capital, arriving in just a dobosh. Landing in the hangar, I greeted the engineers and flight crews as I made my way into the castle, admiring the renovations and additions. Making my way through the halls, I eventually jogged into the throne room, seeing my friends standing in front of princess Celestia sitting on her throne with Caulina standing next to her.

"Hello, everyone." I greeted as I came to a stop. The captains waved at me as I walked forward. Stopping beside them, I waved at Caulina. "Hello, Caulina."

"Hello." Caulina waved back.

"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Diego Logis." I introduced myself. Caulina suddenly looked confused.

"Diego Logis?" She asked.

"Yes. Why?" I asked back.

"That name sounds familiar…" She said. "Like I heard it in the news or- YOU'RE THE GUY WHO EXPLODED!" She suddenly yelled.

"Exploded?" Everyone asked.

"Yeah! It was on the news, at the Wellington convention, there was a sudden explosion that hurt six people and damaged the building the convention was in! The news said it was a man named Diego Logis who was the center of the explosion! You exploded!" She exclaimed.

"I what?!" I shouted. "I ended up here by EXPLODING?!"

"You think that's bad, I ended up here by getting hit by a truck!" Caulina added.

"At least you didn't hurt anyone from it!" I refuted.

"I was hurt! Do you have any idea what getting hit by a truck feels like?!" Caulina yelled back.

"Enough!" Celestia shouted, standing from her throne. "It is not a competition in how you came to this world. Please, stop shouting about it." Celestia calmly said, sitting back down. Caulina exhaled, calming back down. Taking a moment, I calmed down as well. Hammer Strike put his hand on my arm, looking at me worriedly. I nodded at him in assurance. Turning back to the two women, I stepped forward.

"With that out of the way, allow me to reprise. My name is Diego Logis. I, alongside my AI, am Super Voltron. It is a pleasure to meet you." I greeted her, my voice echoing in my mind.

"A pleasure to meet you, Super Voltron. My name is Caulina Albrecht. I am Cause/Effect." Caulina greeted in reply. Both of us blinked in confusion.

"Wait, what did I just say?" We both said at the same time.

(Sendak)

"Your Eminence. The Hand is operational. We have begun integrating it into your ship. The Torchbearer shall soon take to the sky." A grunt informed the leader of the Fire of Purification.

"Good. And the status of the slaves?" He replied.

"Working. They are, however, starting to show signs of malnutrition." The grunt said.

"Hm. Throw more scraps into their meals. We cannot have our workforce collapsing on us." Sendak ordered. "Dismissed."
Soon, the galaxy shall be in my palm. I need but only wait for a hand to hold it in.
