Sincline being a Dragon over a comet or ship AU
Inspiration comes from @nerd-bastard and @akira-ni-nekora
After having the Paladins retrieve the comet and taking it from him, Lotor quickly realized that no, this was not, in fact, an inanimate object.
It didn’t take long for it to be apparent to him, after a closer inspection he could clearly make out the shape of something beneath the surface.
Unsure of what it was though, he was cautious at first.
His generals are who encouraged him to see this through, this is what he was after, might as well see it through to the end.
“It could still be helpful!”
Deciding they’re right, they start taking care of it, with Lotor at the forefront.
Things are ok in the beginning, it was a simple enough task for them to figure out how to keep this giant egg warm.
But incubating it isn’t enough.
They all get worried when they realize the movement is starting to slow.
It only takes Lotor a bit of thinking to figure out what’s wrong.
This egg had been stuck inbetween realities for so long, it can’t survive without Quintessence.
So, he uses whatever methods necessary to get it the source of life it needs, be it through stealing from the Empire or channeling what little he knows about Altean magic to use his own Quintessence to sustain it.
Ezor teases him over getting attached before it even hatches.
He brushes it off, sees it as protecting an investment, nothing more.
Until, it finally hatches.
Seeing a Dragon of all things, is not what any of them expected.
The little thing immediately latches onto and imprints upon Lotor, recognizing the feeling of his Quintessence.
They now have a bigger responsibility, one which they all take seriously.
Dragons, of course, existed in their reality, but it’s unsure of what happened to them, or if any of them are still around anywhere.
It’s not entirely hard to find food to feed the young Dragon, dubbed Sincline by Lotor.
Worse comes to worst, Haggar does try to send spies after them... (Rip Raht).
Sincline seemed to grow at more of an accelerated pace, Lotor can only assume it’s due to the Quintessence.
The reptile becomes increasingly protective of his mama papa.
This further amuses Ezor, and even Acxa now.
Said protectiveness extends to the girls too of course, since it’s clear Lotor cares about them.
Lotor is unbothered, except when Sincline takes it upon himself to try and fly off on his own to hunt.
He has to make sure his child Dragon isn’t found by anyone else after all, who knows what others would try to do.
As he gets bigger, and older, it becomes clear Lotor does need to train him, to some extent, if only so he’s not like a hyperactive golden retriever.
Sincline is certainly smart, which Lotor acknowledges often (with a hint of pride in his voice), since he picks up on and understands what Lotor is saying.
It’s not until they’re hit with a surprise attack that they find out what the young Dragon is completely capable of.
Lotor and the girls barely have time to react, before Sincline has already gone on the defensive.
His fire is seemingly far more powerful than any weapon the Galra have created, which stuns them all.
Before they can even get into defensive positions themselves, Sincline has taken the threat out himself.
Lotor is completely amazed, and impressed. He thanks his generals for talking him into taking care of this egg.
He’s completely enthralled with this Dragon, and never regrets not having a ship over him.
