Hey there welcome back and a Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for having this chapter done at Christmas as THAT is a gift in itself! Anyway I see that Zarkon has laid down the law FIRMLY with Lotor that he stays the hell AWAY from Princess Romelle until he says its alright. He's taking no chances with NINE guards to keep an eye on her and NO cell mates...she's lucky to be alive. But she WON'T be forgotten OR Neglected I'll bet...*Chuckles*

Anyway...I see Sakura's idea of the deadly flowers DID indeed work, unfortunately she FORGOT that the people of Lyra would want PAYMENT for their work for her flower project. She shouldn't feel bad about what Lotor did to King Magg, had it been just HER dealing with him she no doubt she would have used her magic on him as its not wise to annoy a witch! Especially an apprentice of Haggar's! *Chuckles*

It was a shame that Cova OR Spinner weren't around to spy on the Voltron Force while they were swimming, no doubt Lotor would have enjoyed the show with Allura and Sakura with Pidge! But they can't always get what they want

I see that Sakura was STILL squeamish about wanting to kill people even with her flowers, her logic DID make sense on wanting slaves from Arus. HOWEVER I feel she maybe getting over this slowly but surely...when she went to vent her frustrations on the rocks is a clear indication...I feel she MAY be changing that from rocks to PEOPLE very soon if pushed too hard. Also I liked your idea on Magg's guards 'short changing' Lotor for what he did to their king...served the idiot right...

As for the Alien Mice plan Sakura came up with, another great idea to SABOTAGE the Castle of Lions using Galaran Rats specially enhanced but even THAT idea went south...still she got a LITTLE praise from Zarkon for the ideas as they WERE her first few solo attempts.

Anyway no doubt Sakura will have OTHER chances in the future I look forward to the next chapter whenever you can manage it see you then and a Merry Christmas to you and a Happy SAFE New Year!

PS: The reason WHY Coran and Gertude were reluctant again about Allura flying the Blue Lion was due to the fact she was ill because of the flowers she smelt, heck even Keith was concerned but she managed to pull it off.

PPS: I was wondering had the Voltron Force pulled ANY information about Sakura from their files? I'm just asking because even if they DID it would be very LITTLE unless Sakura told them herself and even THAT would be limited due to being in Haggar's care all this time. I'll bet she hardly remembers her family at all now...even if she did she wouldn't go back to them. Cheers!

If you need an excuse to get rid of Romelle just have Zarkon put her under tight security as punishment for trying to escape and have Lotor ignore her for a bit out of spite for her almost killing Sakura.

Hey there welcome back, my word you update fast! Well it seems that Sakura and Spinner are really getting out in the field more and more with Lotor and Master/Mamma Haggar. That was REAL clever and DARING of Romelle and her cellmates to ESCAPE from Galra, unfortunately DESPITE the best efforts of the Voltron Force and Bandor, Romelle's been recaptured! After pulling such an escape I have no doubt Romelle will be watched more CLOSELY in the future, she'll be in a VIP cell well looked after and such by Lotor's orders as she IS Royalty. But no doubt if she goes out and about it'll be under CLOSE observation. *Chuckles*

I don't know whenever to applaud or condone Bandor for trying to get Sakura away from Haggar it was a good try and his interaction with Romelle stirred a DISTANT memory for Sakura, probably her own family but I don't think it'll work as Haggar has done a VERY good job raising her apprentice. I can see that Romelle tried to KILL Sakura for what she's doing too! THAT wont sit very well with her or Haggar...but as they still NEED Romelle she can't do anything about it. HOWEVER I have no doubt Romelle will be confined to a VIP cell, ALONE, under CONSTANT guard but comfortable on Lotor's orders.

By the way you did great work on covering the 'holes' that were left in the actual episode, having Romelle and her cellmates work out the routines of the guards and an plan to get out of their cell was well done, creating the electrical fire to create a diversion so they could steal a ship was a great idea too. Having Romelle's cellmates executed made a lot of sense as Romelle is a Princess she has more value. Also it shows Romelle the CONQUENCES of her escaping, it made them all look like FOOLS so executing some scapegoats for it makes sense. Having Romelle and Bandor grab some weapons off the Voltron Force when they had none before makes good sense too.

So yet ANOTHER plan gone 'South' as it were for Sakura and her friends huh? I wonder just how her poison flower and alien mice idea will work? See you next update whenever you can manage it so I can find out how it goes! Later!

PS: Yeah I'm aware of Lotor's sword sometimes had a glowing blade in some episodes. I put it down to the metal it was made from. I guess in some atmosphere's the metal of Lotor's sword must react and glow like a lightsaber, perhaps he had it made that way to scare or intimidate his opponents. I wouldn't put it past him.

PPS: Also I'm enjoying how Sakura and Lotor interact in these missions, its like she ALREADY an offical witch to his rule. Almost like looking at the future really, exxcept they're less formal than Haggar and Zarkon. *Chuckles*

Welcome back!

My word Sakura has been a busy little Apprentice Witch in the last few weeks, and from what I read because she IS Haggar's Apprentice its brought out 'wannabes' who want Haggar's attention. However I believe as Sakura was born with a rare 'magical arura' its what makes her more special to Haggar than those 'Wannabes' as they have NO arura which is WHY they TRY with whatever they can to be noticed. Its smart that Haggar gives the wannabes a chance, of sorts, and then WORK on improving the work if it CAN be. I do believe Sakura's ideas will be based on two episodes with the poisonous flowers and the alien mice. Her idea with the buried castle was a REAL stroke of genius I must say, sadly it didn't work!

Still Sakura has been doing her best with 'Mamma' Haggar and Lotor to get rid of Voltron. As for Zarkon it didn't surprise me he had a heart attack with the way he's been getting so worked up on the failure to destroy Voltron. However despite her fear of him Sakura assisted Lotor healing him, good thing she's around as she actually REMINDED Lotor that they have Romelle and he HOPEFULLY moved her somewhere more comfortable.

I was happy to see Spinner convert back to his natural form again when he carried Sakura to have her little 'çhat' with Pidge, been a while since he did that. But our pair can be quite careless, when Sakura buried the ship causing Haggar to scold her was an example. *Chuckles*
I'm SO looking forward to your next update whenever you can manage it see you then!

PS: Your 'fixing up' the stuff that happens with each adventure by altering things or adding on stuff that was ORGINALLY missed is GREAT, I have no problem with it. I'm happy that you do that as it helps with Sakura's presence in the Voltron story. Keep it up!

Hey there welcome back! You did a GREAT job on this chapter with fixing all the inconsistences that actually happened during the episode you based it on! I was wondering when Mogor would be turning up again, there's no points for guessing WHY he's Sakura's LEAST favourite person huh? *Chuckles* However if he didn't capture Sakura after separating her from her brother as well as kill her parents Haggar would NEVER have her for her apprentice huh? I could see in my minds eye how proud Haggar was at how she's done a good job raising her when Romelle made her comment.

Unfortunately due to the messing up of their plans it seem that the Polluxians will be going AGAINST Zarkon to get Romelle back with the Voltron Force's help. Also it seems that Sakura might have LOST Bandor's POSSIBLE affection, despite the fact she DID disable him rather than kill him. I think that might have been due to how courteous he had been with her while on Galra, but she still wants Pidge. It now seems that Lotor is 'one up' on her *Chuckles* I have no doubt he'll have to talk to Sakura as she DID seem a little down on what happened...but not enough to leave WITH Romelle.

But I guess I'll find out what happens next chapter huh? See you then whenever you can manage it! After this you've made 30 reviews for this lovely story! Keep it up!

Hey there welcome back again with this lovely, LOVELY update! I think you've handled the Voltron episodes for this story real good, I was expecting something like what you did for episodes 8 to 12 but you surprised me! Nice work!

I kind of expected Sakura to be upset at the passing of her friend Yurak, after all he was one of the few REAL friends she had. I could see that Haggar and Cova did feel sorry for her, which is unexpected but it goes to show she and her familiar have an 'unused' compassionate side. I must say it was real nice of Lotor to do his best to cheer Sakura up the way he did. Too bad Naoko wasn't there, Yamazaki would have been REAL surprised to see her supposedly 'dead' friend alive and well!
I see that Sakura has decided she might start a 'collection' like Lotor's one day...but first she'll have to GET Pidge. But even then I doubt he'd do ANYTHING with her that she want! Much like Allura.

From the way Sakura and Lotor behave they are like a 'brother and sister' pair with Spinner on Sakura's side. They're good friends, they needle at each other playfully/scaracastically and they...get along. I got that feeling when she was with Yurak too he was a 'big brother' figure to her, so she had EVERY right to be angry and the Voltron Force. As for Zarkon he REALLY gets a kick out of scaring Sakura with his bad moods, he seems to find her as a Witch and unoffical 'court jester.' Obviously with the way things go 'south' as it were he NEEDS the amusement.

ANYWAY...despite Lotor's grand plans Voltron is STILL out there with the Force with NO Allura for the Galra Prince and NO Pidge for Sakura *Chuckles* The only benefits is that Sakura was placed in COMMAND of an attack force when Lotor left and is getting SLOWLY better in her studies with Haggar. I have a feeling she'll need them with the interversion of the Planet Pollux things are going to get REAL interesting I think! See you next update whenever you can manage it so I can find out what happens next! Later!

PS: I can picture what will happen with Lotor and Sakura in regards to Romelle and Bandor! *chuckles*

PPS: I feel that Sakura WON'T go with Lotor only if Haggar, Zarkon OR Lotor himself tells her. She'll obey of course but won't like it. But it could be becasue she might have OTHER work to do, like sabotage, spying or some mission with Haggar or on Zarkon's orders.

Really enjoyable chapter, things are getting even more interesting! Can't wait for the next update :)

Hey there welcome back! Thanks for your first update for 2019, I hope you yourself have a Happy and SAFE New Year so this lovely, lovely story can continue! I guess that THIS episode is sort of like a lead up to a New Year's Celebration as SADLY we lose ANOTHER familiar character to gain a new one.

Anyway I see that Sakura made a friend out of Lotor as well as Yurak, I see they've made a bit of a game of hide and seek since Lotor first discovered Sakura with Haggar. And judging from what I've read its not the first time *Chuckles* I'm happy that at least LOTOR is a friend of sorts to Sakura. He had a very good strategy from start to finish in this chapter. Not only does he gets a 'feel' for how his enemies the Voltron Force operate, Lotor managed to give Yurak a chance to go out with his dignity intact. To top it off it gave SAKURA a chance to learn to enhance a Robeast for future projects, she REALLY wanted Yurak to have a chance which is WHY he was so well armed.

By the way I'm glad you took my advice, having Lotor talk to Sakura in regards to what happened to Sven goes to show how he had the same problem as he was once in her shoes. I'm going to enjoy their working relationship together they're both like a older brother and younger sister, plus they have a lot in common. By that I mean Lotor obsessing over Allura and Sakura doing the same over Pidge, I'm looking forward to more of their bickering too. Unlike Zarkon, Sakura can actually answer back to Lotor. I just hope they don't bicker in the actual PRSENCE of their enemies as nobody will take them seriously if they did! *Chuckles*

After all this all adventure apart from meeting Lotor the Voltron Force found out Zarkon's son is a dirty, sneaky rotten guy and that Sakura was 'nurtured' by Haggar from a young age, if they want details ask the Old Witch but I doubt she'd say anything *chuckles*

Anyway you did a GREAT job on this chapter like in all your previous ones and I have no problems if you want to breeze through a few episodes like you did before to get to the planet Pollux episode. Once again have a Happy SAFE New Year and see you next update whenever you can manage it!

PS: I like it how Sakura wasn't afraid to say how Lotor was 'haming things up' with his speech to the Voltron Force. He does that a lot in the series having Sakura and Spinner there to bug him will be fun to see him bugged especially when obsessing over Allura! Mind you he can do the same when it comes to Sakura and Pidge! Sakura: "You already HAVE blondes in your Harem!
Lotor: "She's a royal Princess there is a BIG diffrence!"
Spinner: "Suuuure there is!"
Lotor: "At least I'm not crushing on a four eyed little fool!"

PPS: I can also understand why Pidge would be annoyed at his friends for NOT warning him about Sakura, however they HAVE been busy lately and when attack after attack comes things tend to be forgotten. But this is real good as he and Allura have a lot in common now, two evildooers after them they have ZERO affection for! Later!

Hey there welcome back and Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for updating in time THAT is a Christmas Gift in itself! I hope you enjoy yourself today and for New Years Eve! I find it hard to believe you were suffering from writers block as you have done such a FANTASTIC job with this story so far. I CAN believe however that you were distracted by Papa' Gameria's and Voltron Legendary Defender, I was with the last one myself. However I think your story is just as good!

Now for my review...I think you did a GREAT job with this chapter! Your having Haggar and Sakura impersonate Allura's Aunt and her daughter was a stroke of GENIUS! And you've MORE than made up for the absence of the disguised Haggar in the castle with your story, you did real good with Sakura too. Our little Apprentice Witch FINALLY got to be with 'the cute one' at long last, I think she likes the new nickname "Pidgey" better now. HOWEVER if Sakura goes in disguise again she'll have to be REAL careful about what she says if Pidge is around too...her nickname may give her away!

I enjoyed how Cova and Spinner had their moments, sneaking into the castle, attempting to get the Space Mice due to Haggar's fear of rodents and eveything. Sadly however their presence gave their masters away and they almost got caught! But with a few hostage like Gertrude to exchange our Witches and Familliars got away, thankfully they brought that Robeast to back them up if things went south.

Anyway so NOW Pidge and Allura KNOW that Haggar has an apprentice with an interest in our Green Lion Pilot at long last. They'll be more cautious now! As for Haggar and Sakura THEY'LL have to explain themselves to Zarkon, which will put them in hot water with him! But as Sakura and Spinner 'amuse him' Zarkon MIGHT let it fly.

I'm SO looking forward to the next chapter when it appears that Sakura may loose her surrogate 'big brother' figure Yurack when Lotor turns up. The experience MAY strengthen Haggar's influence on Sakura becasue of it, becasue of the Voltron Force her friend died and Sakura will be determned to avenge him.

Anyway have yourself a Merry Christmas and a Happy SAFE New Year and I look forward to your next update whenever you can manage it either by New Years or sometime in 2019! Cheers!

PS: I liked your explinations on stuff like Keith's gun, Haggar's staff and the advance 'planting' Robeast. You can use that kind of thing again for future chapters advance planting of Robeasts I mean. As for Sakura hanging around Pidge...it didn't feel forced to me I think you did GREAT with it, give yourself some credit.

PPS: Even if Haggar and Sakura had done 'Plan B' with the Blue Lion it never would have worked as they need a KEY to activate the Lion and the Team keep them with them. If Haggar forgot that don't forget to mention that next chapter, even evil Witches can get it wrong. I mean that's WHY she has Sakura, she's getting along in years but still got it when it comes to battling as this chapter showed! Cheers!

Was happy to see an update to it and enjoyed the chapter :) Looking forward to when you next update

Hey there welcome back! I must say you made good on your promise to carry on with this lovely, lovely story! I think you've done a real good job with the next five episodes of Voltron with the inclusion of Sakura. I actually LIKED your idea of having Sakura 'grounded' by King Zarkon so she can do a few things by herself while Haggar tackled the problem of Voltron. The idea of Yurak allowing Sakura to come with him by creating an excuse was a brilliant idea too, I get the impression the Commander is like a surrogate brother figure to her in a way. As for Sakura MISSING her chance with Pidge its no big deal there WILL be other times, I feel that Lance and the others will have to now EXPLAIN to their friend he has an 'admirer' in Haggar's apprentice. Poor Pidge will be looking over his shoulder from now on! *Chuckles*

I can see that Zarkon actually WENT with Sakura's idea of blood rain on Arus, so I guess he finds her useful APART as a means of amusement for when he's angry. His test of Sakura contacting the Viceroy to discover he'd been covering things up was a good idea, sadly the guy STILL got killed as he failed the slave escaped and warned the Voltron Force which REALLY screwed up Zarkon's birthday!

You say that Sakura will be meeting Pidge next chapter huh? I look forward to it, no doubt Sakura will make him squirm. I'll bet when Pidge finds out about Sakura the Voltron Force will make it there duty to 'rescue' Sakura from Haggar's influence unaware that she went to the old witch WILLINGLY making that an almost IMPOSSIBLE task. See you then!

PS: I've got not problem with you giving Allura an IQ bump for your story. An old saying goes "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME." Allura obviously smelt a rat after that fake Prince and wanted to SEE just what was going on so she PRETENED to play along.

PPS: I too also want to see more of Sakura hang around with Haggar in your story, it IS a learning experience for the girl. Perhaps Haggar will let Sakura try something SHE normally does and let her apprentice do it, like she wants Sakura to enhance a Robeast or let her think up a new plan that is actually USED in the Voltron story. I REALLY look forward to it, cheers!

Awesome really enjoyed this chapter. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store

Awesome I'm wondering if we'll see other characters from the cardcaptor universe in the near future or next chapter. Looking forward to the next update

Hey there welcome back! My word when you said you'd update faster you really meant it! With it being October I feel the lead up to Halloween is PERFECT for this story as Sakura and Haggar are witches with Familiars and all.

Now for my review...so I see the person rowing on the boat was Allura's Nanny 'Gertrude' huh? I feel that the Voltron Force's lives are going to get a LOT more complicated with such a woman watching over them as well as Allura. I know Gertrude means well but I think Allura MORE than proved that she can pilot the Blue Lion.

I quite enjoyed the time that Corva and Spinner spent together spying on the Voltron Force, it was like a...running commentary for the episode from the Familiars POV as what they saw was relayed to Haggar and Sakura who told Zarkon of the situation. Unfortunately for Sakura as well as Haggar Voltron was STILL able to be formed and destroy the Robeast sent against them. I can't blame Sakura or Yurak for being nervous about how annoyed and angry Zarkon will be at them for this. *Chuckles*

I'll see you next chapter whenever you can manage it so I can see just what is the fallout from this little mess up, see you then!

PS: I can have a good guess WHAT the filler might be, Sakura's all nervous, worried and scared at what Zarkon will do to her and Haggar for messing up. But Haggar being the EXPERIENCED Witch will be all calm and collected telling her apprentice that even the best laid plans can and WILL mess up and that includes magic. So MORE and advanced training will be needed, I'm SO looking forward to that. Later!

Hey there welcome back at long LONG last! There's no need to apologise on your long absence, you gave a reasonable enough excuse and my patience has paid off as you have come back to this lovely, LOVELY story! Writers Block is a pain, but it strikes at least ALL of us from time to time so you're not alone in that field. I like your ideas in regards on HOW the Vehicle Voltron will be created in your story, and using the Robeasts actual names along with Allura's mouse friends too. You say you may actually take this to "Fleet of Doom" huh? It'll be interesting to see how Sakura goes and if she'll grow up into an experienced witch like Haggar, heck SHE'LL be doing all the stuff Haggar did if anything happens to her. *Chuckles*

Anyway here is my review...I see that King Zarkon is actually in a GOOD mood with Haggar and Sakura as they actually managed to do something RIGHT for a change in killing Sven. Its not often our two magical ladies get a break as it were, still it gave Haggar time to teach Sakura a new trick of actually LOOKING through the eyes of her familiar. However I feel that Zarkon's BAD moods will return if what's happening on Arus is to go by.

I think Keith did the right thing sending the designs on Voltron to Earth, however that DID annoy Allura to no end...there's no points for guessing just WHO will end up operating the Blue Lion huh? I just wonder WHO is the person in the row-boat approaching the Castle? It sure can't be Cova and Spinner as they only just left and can't row a boat, see you next update whenever you can manage it so I can find out! Later!

PS: I wonder what Pidge is going to do when he finds out he has an admirer in Haggar's apprentice Sakura? Why do I feel like this is going to be like that fool Lotor with his one sided 'affection' with Allura? It'll be fun to find out! *Chuckles* See you soon!
