Lotor released himself from the chains that bound him to the wall of his cell, making sure to do so at the changing of the guards. Hagar had provided the key to slip out of the chains without making too much noise. Lotor knew he had to hurry before Cossack came for his daily taunt of him. He did not want his father to know anything about this, and he knew Cossack would tell him. He patted the scabbard where his lasersword rested. It was good to have it back again-without it, he felt naked. He was grateful for Hagar for sneaking it to him under her ragged cloak.
Lotor was impatient. Hagar had said to wait for her to come down for him. She would take Lotor out by using a holoimager. Hagar did not want to use too much of her magic this evening, for she would need it for later. He would appear to be a guard escorting Hagar out of the lower depths of the castle. He wished she'd hurry up, for Allura's sake. Every moment counted.
Lotor massaged his wrists, wincing at the sparks of pain that came from them. His wrists were chafed raw in some spots where the manacles had rubbed him.
Suddenly, he heard a noise- it was Hagar. She motioned for him to come as she opened his cell. Hagar was just about to focus the holoimager on him when Cossack came around the corner unexpectedly.
Cossack reared his ugly head back and said--"What's this, Hagar? Helping Lotor escape? That's the death sentence for you, old bat! I 'm gonna tell Zarkon right now!"
Lotor had enough of this little man. Before Cossack could turn to get away, Lotor swung him around and aimed his lasersword at Cossack.
"If you tell, little toad, I will kill you." Lotor snarled at Cossack's smirking face.
"What can you do, Lotor? You're nobody now!" Cossack replied.
With that statement, Cossack turned around away from Lotor, heading for the entrance to the main part of the castle. That was Cossack's mistake. Enraged, Lotor tackled Cossack and flipped him over on his back. Cossack looked up at him, terrified.
"What the matter, Cossack? No smart remarks to say? I ought to end your miserable life now, but you're not worth the energy. However, I will do you a favor, Cossack. I will DO THIS!"
With a quick swipe of his lasersword, he seared Cossack's eyes rendering him blind. Cossack howled in pain.
Lotor grabbed Cossack by the scruff of the neck and said,"Now that I have done you the favor of never having to see your ugly reflection in the mirror again, will you keep quiet? Or will I have to cut out your tongue or perhaps make you a gelding? I promise you, idiot, it won't be pleasant!"
Cossack nodded mutely and crawled in a dark corner, holding his face in his hands. Lotor added, "Cossack, if you yell out or make any sound at all, I will come back and do more "altering" with my sword!"
Hagar interrupted him and said,"Fool! We have no time for this! We must get to the upperchambers of the castle! Your father is there already, but he hasn't arrived at his chambers yet."
"Hagar, are you sure this will work?" Lotor asked.
"Yes, just shut up and do as I say!" Hagar hissed, holding the holoimager on Lotor.
He was now in the uniform of his father's personal guard. No one would question him. Lotor turned again to Cossack cowering in his cell and said,"Remember, Cossack!" and gestured his lasersword at him, which of course Cossack couldn't see anymore. Cossack didn't say a word, just mutely nodded at Lotor as the prince locked him inside the cell.
Lotor and Hagar reached the upperchambers of the castle. His father's suite of rooms were up here -- and Allura! he thought. It was now or never. Hagar's plan had to work.
Hagar pushed a small lever that was on a ornamental fixture, and a small opening appeared. Lotor looked at her in shock! He never knew there were such passages in the castle!
Hagar looked at Lotor and said, "Don't look so stupid, Lotor, Your father has these in all his palaces! I'll warrant that he has forgotten about this one though. Hurry! These lead to your father's suite. Hurry, you dolt!"
Hagar hustled him inside and slid the door in behind them. Dim lights enabling them to see their way automatically came on as Hagar shut the door. They made their way up and wound up in a small niche in his father's antechamber, which was outside his bedroom. It was all Lotor could do to not rush into the bedroom and carry Allura away, but Hagar insisted that Lotor wait until his father was in there with her.
When Lotor asked why, Hagar said, "Your father will drink wine with her. He has a special wineglass that he drinks out of - I lined that wineglass with sleeping potion."
"I thought my father was immune to poisons." Lotor replied.
"Poisons, not sleeping potions, fool boy! Now listen to me, Lotor, if you want Allura, do not move a muscle until I tell you to. I'm not sure of the exact time your father will drink his wine, but it'll be before he beds her." Hagar explained. Lotor winced at that last remark and scowled at Hagar.
"He better not, old witch, for your sake!"
"Don't worry, Lotor."Hagar assured him. "The potion is strong. Once he places his lips on the glass, it'll be 'Bedtime for Bonzo, then you'll get your princess!"
And so the unlikely allies waited.
