Champions of Voltron (Voltron Legendary Defender Multifandom rp) rp thread

The Almyran watched silently as the battle had begun. He had a firm grip on his families bough, Failnaught. The armies of the empire and holy kingdom charged at one an other. He had ordered his troops to stand their ground and let the others battle it out first. After all, when they were done, it would be easy to pick off the last few that remained. Dimitri and the Kingdom were hyper focused on the Empire and Edelgard. After all, they were the ones who were slowly taking over everything. He sigh to himself. He understood why she wanted to. However, they way she was going about her goals were way violent. His scheme for conquest and achieving equality and breaking down the borders has way less blood shed. His mind couldn't help but think about the battle between the eagle and lion: It was a battle the church set up for all their students as a way of letting the houses go head to head. After all, this was the same place that the "battle" took place. He couldn't help but feel almost nostalgic at the thought. However, he knew he would have to pay attention, after all this was a real war, not some kind of mock one set up by Lady Rhea.The empire also had Byleth on their side. They were a very renouned professor and mercenary. He knew that this battle wasn't in the favor, but he would pull out all of his best schemes to make sure his army came out on top. In fact, he had the torches ready when push came to shove.

That when he heard a scream from a purple hair girl who was currently occupying the balista. He couldn't quite remember her name, but he knew she was a shy girl from the empire. He didn't think much of it, after all this was a battle field. However he sees is that the fighting started to die down as both soldiers began to look at the sky. Of course the noble did so as well. His eyes couldn;t help but widen as he sees a massive dragon like beast come flying down at them. It's bright golden scales reflected the sun's rays, causing on almost blinding shimmer. That had to be a demonic beast. It was most likely summoned by Eldegard. However, Juding by the scream and how neverous everyone was getting, it may have not been. But he remained as bit skeptical. He swore he could hear Dimirti scream her name in a fit of rage which made him rolls his eyes a bit. That man had really lost his mind within the last five years. However, he couldn't blame him after all that happened. That's went his generals ran up out of their positions to talk to Claude.

"That thing is huge! Are we really gonna have to fight it?" Hilda said almost complaining to the commander.

"That thing is probably a demonic beast sent by the empire. I may have a plan or two on how to take it down"

"I dont suppose that plan is sitting around and waiting some more?" Lorenz said in almost a smugly annoyed tone.

"Not exactly. Besides it's not like we were waiting around for nothing. You know we can't win this battle fighting them both head on. It's better for them wipe themselves out while we advance fit as a fiddle. No, it's clear we can't sit around for this one or else it will probably wipe out this whole pain. But we also can't let our guard down around the empire and let them attack us from behind. This is why you, Lorenz, Inatz, and Marianna will take your battallions and keep watch for the empire. Me and everyone will take this beast head on."

Everyone nodded and started get into their positions. His once relaxed face now became more serious as he hoped onto his wyvern. Soon he began fly his way over to where the beat was going to land. This was going to be a tough one.

Claude heard a large, roaring crash as the demonic beast hit the ground. He quickly covered his face to block any flying rocks or dust that was heading his way. the young adult was finally able to get a good look at the beast that had landed. It was a large, golden beast with three-heads, no arms, huge wings and two tails. Claude grew a little nervous but seeing that both empire andkingdom troops were after this thing, it eased his worries a bit. That's when it's heads began to vibrate. Confused, Claude held up his bone-like bow, ready to fire. That's when the wyvern he was on started to get unsteady. He could feel this, reached down to pat the side of its head, and was about to ask what was wrong before the beast erupted into what looked like lighting. Troops all around the creature screamed as the volts coursed through their bodies, leaving them as burnt corpses on the floor. How the hell was that thing so strong? Maybe it was just to just get out of here before...

His train of thought stopped when he saw a hooded figure in the place of the demonic beast. Their clothes looked a rather odd too him, something that possibly poorer people would wear. He had nothing against the poor, after all equality for all was he main goals. His interest was suddenly peaked. He had seen this kind thing before. It was when the monastery was attacked. He was the archbishop turn into this large white dragon-like demonic beast. He had a theory as to why, but there was so many unanswered questions still. Maybe, just maybe. He quickly ordered his mount to fly forward into the view of the figure. He carefully flipped his arrow around in his left hand: it was a small habit of his.

"We weren't expecting any visitors. What gives us the honor?" he in a laid back and friendly tone. In reality, he was on guard and ready to attack at any time. He was looking at the figure, assessing them and trying to come up with a scheme to take this guy down. "Does the name 'The immaculate one' ring any bells?"

When he said that a we of the empire's generals looked at Claude in surprise that the sudden accusation. Of course, he didn't really care. A few of his own teammates just looked at him like he was an idiot for trying to spark a conversation, but he wanted answers.

Claude Looked at the figure for a moment. He though about what he said. Would he really try to fight them? Who was this guy anyway? His beast form looked nothing like anything he had seen in legends just before. It was odd. Also, did he say he would have killed the being of legend? This creature really seemed to be full of themselves.

Before he was able to properly respond, the Almyran jumps as the lightening blast was shot at him. He ordered the dragon to fly upwards to avoid the blast.

"Woah! Honestly, I know I'm such a popular guy, but I have something else on my mind. Thanks for the offer though"

He then loads his bow and carefully aims at him. He then let go, sending the arrow towards the newcomer.

(Apologies for the short post, I'm on mobile)

Claude watched the arrow closely as it shot through the air. His green eyes widen is surprise as the arrow suddenly surrounds itself in what looked like lightening. It was the same kind of magic that hooded figure used. What was he planning? It didn't take long before the lord found out. The arrow was launched right back at them, the yellow energy sparking and radiating as it shot right past him towards his friends.

"Watch out!" He tries to yell as it hits the ground. creating a large explosion. A look of horror shot through his face as he couldn't see the silhouettes of his friends. Before he could go over to check to see if his teammates were okay, the wyvern let out a roar as a beam hit it, and by extension, him. the dragon clearly couldn't do anything though trying it's hardest. All of sudden, he felt like what were tendrils wrap around his body. He began to panic a bit and pulled at the strings.

"Hey! What is this?! Let me go!" The Almyran shouted.

Claude counties to to struggle in the restraints. Was this really a fraction of this creatures power? It was unlike anything the sharp-shooter had ever seen. His eyes watched the yellow threads of lighting shoot right at his comrades. He could hardly bare to see the state their in. They could barely stand as their face cringed with pain. This was possibly the worst case scenario. One that he couldn't even think of cause of how out there this whole thing was. His friends couldn't even try to struggle free of their confines as it wrapped around them. Worst part about this is, there was still about half of his companions he couldn't see at all. dread and a sudden wave of panic hit him. He took a deep breath. This wasn't the time to start panicking.

"H-hey, easy on the threats. I'm sure we can come up with some kind of compromise. I don't know what castle youre exactly referring too, but i'm it doesn't have to be exactly me. I'm sure Dimitri or Edelgard over there could fit the bill just fine" He said, nervousness could be heard clearly in his voice.

He could hear the winces of his friends as the grip grew tighter. He watched in horror as his team mate, Ignatz was pulled closer to the beast and put into a choke hold. Ignatz had to be one of the frail members of the team, but he was a savant when it came to using bow skills. Kinda like him. He wasn't able to see the full extent of his friends injuries tell just now. There was blood smeared across his face and his clothes somewhat torn, mostly likely from the rocks and wooden splinters that were set flying thanks to the explosion. This caused Claude to recoil a bit.

The artists hands gripped tightly around his chokers. Struggling, he managed to get out a few words.

"C-Claude! D-dont!"

He sighed. It looked like amount of scheming would get him out of this mess. Why were sticky situations like these always come his way? Ignatz didn't want him to go. He was willing to sacrifice his own hell being for him. He had to do the same. However, he did have one idea that could possible help. However, he cringed at the thought of the people had to die. However, it might be the only to insure his victory.

"Look, I may not know what or who the Galra are, but I'll go with you hands down without a struggle on one condition. You see the troops in the yellow and holding the Golden Deer banner? I ask you that they get out of this Scott free. Everyone one else is fair game" He tried to strike a deal.

Apologies for any errors. I'm on mobile rn)

Claude let out a bit of a sigh of relief as his companions were let. However, soon nervousness and dread hit him after thinking about what exactly who or what needs him. For all he knew, they couldve started to treat him like a slave. He began to come up with ideas and plans if he had to escape any potential abusers clutches. His green eyes then wondered over to Ignatz who looked like he could barely stand. His hand placed on his chest as he began coughing and taking in air. After the fit, the green-haired boy grabbed an concoction from his bag and began to drink it. A little bit of life an energy returned to his eyes. He pushed up his broken glasses as he began to shake a bit in fear. Seeing this, Clause sent him away.

"Why don't you head back and check up on the others? Get help if necessary" Claude said pointing back at his allies still on the ground.

"B-but Claude! Are you really going through with this? I-it could be a trap or worse!"

"Don't worry about it. I'll deal with that when I get there. Don't worry, alright? I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you guys are safe and come out on top"

The archer reluctantly nodded, his face full with worry before he ran off to try to help everyone up. The almyran then looked right back to the hooded figure. He could the sharp and toothy grin despite his shaded face. This caused a small shiver to go down this body. This gut seemed pretty shady in all the wrong ways. However, on the outside he has a relaxed look and soft smile.

"Now then, where were we? Oh yeah, that's right. Well you see, right now we are at war over this country. The Adrestian empire started expanding, and now we in the Leicester Alliance are fighting back! And the Holy Kingdom of Fargus is trying to reclaim their lost lands and then some. Or at least, that's what I see is happening. I'm trying to unify Fodlan in hopes of breaking down the borders and end the isolation and discrimination. How am I gonna pull that off? Here is where you come into play. I ask that you take out the anyone in leadership positions in both the Holy Kingdom and the Empire. However, I ask that you only depose of those who need to be. I want to try to avoid any unnecessary deaths if possible. Sound like a deal?" Normally Claude wouldn't be so open to killing anyone like this. In fact, he had actually thought that he stood no chance thanks to their old professor, Byleth on the empires side. They after all apparently had the power of the goddess within them. He personally wasn't a strong believer, but it was still terrifying to be up against such a foe. He had to jump on this opportunity to make sure everything turned alright int the end.

Claude rose a brow and the statement 'More to collect.' So there was more people this beast was after? He would have to push further on that topic a little later. He looked over the side where he was a screaming Dimitri running at full speed, blowing through empire soldiers. He had really gone down hill. He knew he was stubborn in his goals, but was he so stubborn that he completely ignored the huge beast that arrived? Edgelgard however, was staring daggers between him and Dimitri. She was probably thinking up some kind of plan. However, she seemed the most concerned with the stranger that had popped up. She sent most of her troops after the rampaging Dimirit before making her way over to Claude and the beast axe in hand.

"Well, I say just take out everyone here. It's pretty convenient that the commander of the kingdom and empire and both here, along with their highest ranked members, huh? I say take out anyone here in this area that aren't my troops, of course. In fact, little miss emperor is running over to us right now" Claude said in a bit of a smug tone.

The white-haired emperor stopped in her tracks as the beast let out a mighty cackle. It sent a chill down her spine. She had seen what it had done to the alliance and she was going to make sure that didn't ruin any of her plans. She gripped her large axe firmly as she glared at the beast. She had seen it turn into a human form like the archbishop. They could possible be part of the ones who walk in the dark. She had to take this deranged beast in.

"Who are you? You'll be coming with me!" This beast certainly was cocky, but he was best to try and not let this creature get to her head. She would flee of necessary but now, she must stand her ground.

With a swift and powerful strike she run and attempted to hit the humanoid with her attack. Her Axe glowed with magic and power.

All the while this was happening, Claude ran back to check up on the members of his house.

The emperor was more or less stunned when the Axe was knocked out of her hand. This creature was stronger than she could have ever imagined. This thing couldn't possibly be real! She had to have called retreat. There was no way neither her nor her comrades could fight this thing off. The Void king? She knew for sure that name wasn't in any of her records. She was about to give the signal before she was it. Phantom wing and head grew from this man's back. Before she knew it, one of them strikes right towards her. She barely had time to react as she attempted to dodge out of beasts way

Claude on the other hand just watched as he carried one of his companions on his shoulder. He needed to get them out of the danger zone.
