Knights to Paladins

Summary: Two months after Shiro's disappearance, one of the lions went missing. Days later, it is found in an island and the lion found its new paladin pilot. But they can't form Voltron... for the new paladin have secrets, not much of a team player and just wants to leave and return to his only family.

However, finding his way back will not be an easy task when the place he's in is... similar but not his?

Silver: Crossover between Voltron Legendary Defender and Code Geass, with Lelouch as the new Blue Lion Pilot(Black Paladin) and this is post-season 2 of the VLD, around the time Allura tries to bond with the Blue Lion... and something else happens. Also KT_Variant is my AO3 account, so yeah, you'll see this in AO3.

Knights to Paladins

The Blue Beast

The children are looking up at the night sky, admiring the stars that decorate the black canvas above.

"Look! A shooting star!"

One of the children points at the blue streak of light that zips across the night sky, all of them scramble to make a wish... and then wonders, if they heard a faint roar of a lion.

:::^*^:::

Lelouch makes his way to the ruins as his accomplice engages with the Knightmare that is persistent on chasing them.

'Nunnally...' he thought, as he sees the entrance of the ruin but then he stops. 'What was that?' He looks around the area, only to find only plants and rocks... and then he feels it again, as if it is calling him. 'I don't have time for that!' he mentally snap himself back to reality.

He didn't notice that the ground beneath him gives off a blue glow and cracks are forming.

"I have to get Nunnally and kill the one who-AAAHHHH!" he screams as the ground he steps on cracks and gave away beneath him. He lands on a pool of water below, immediately swims up and have to remove his mask as it is not helping with his breathing. He swims for the shore and then wrings out the water from his cape, when he notices a blue glow not far from him. Curious on what it is, he made his way over some rock and sees the very source of the glow.

"What the...?"

In front of him, is the biggest frame he have ever seen, far bigger than the latest Knightmare Frames which are being developed in Britannia. It takes form of a cat, a predator like a lion or a jaguar, blue and silver in color with bright yellow eyes... is it staring at him?

"What is this? Did Britannia developed something this huge?" he wonders, as he approaches the said machine which is also in case by a glowing orb. He looks around and notices that the huge machine is the only thing in the cavern. He examines at the barrier that protects the machine and wonders how to deactivate it. "I don't see anything that powers this shield... is the frame itself conjuring it?" then he yelps as the ground is uneven and lost his balance. He manage to catch himself from hitting the floor when his hand touch the barrier... only to yank his hand away when he felt a cold shock on his entire body.

The barrier then dissipates as if the machine allows him to come closer. He looks at it with awe, wondering how such huge and advance frame is in such place. He guessed that it is a good thing that he found this huge robot, because he'll need some way to get off the island once he retrieved his sister.

That is when reality decides to slap him on the face. "Nunnally!" he shouts and looks around for an exit out of the cavern. He did find a tunnel just by the side of the robot, taking a gamble he decided to take that path... but then he stops and looks back at the huge machine. He got an odd feeling like he wants to assure that he'll be back for it. "What am I thinking...?" he muttered as he shakes his head before taking one more look at the frame. He then he runs into the tunnel, hoping that it is the way out or to the ruins.

:::^*^:::

The chosen has been found.

Now, it waits for his return...

...

...

...

...!

The lion moves.

Its chosen is in danger.

:::^*^:::

Running away from the ruin, Kallen is still in shock to learn the true identity of Zero. But she nearly fell to the ground when the ground shakes beneath her and immediately stops, wondering if it's an earthquake.

In the ruins, Suzaku push Lelouch on the ground and points the gun at his former-friend-now-enemy. "Zero... this is the end of you." the brunet said. The raven teen could only smile bitterly on being defeated by his only friend, he never thought that everything he planned for would fail and this happen.

Then the ground shakes, they wonder if the fight from the settlement somehow reached here. Then they heard a shriek from the entrance, followed by a loud roar. 'What was that?' both boys thought of the same thing, as the brunet keeps his guard up yet he keeps his eyes on the Black Knight's leader.

Then the unexpected happens.

The cavern shakes, rocks fell from the ceiling and the roar they heard before is much louder and near. Suddenly, a huge metal claw burst from the walls, causing more debris to fall and nearly blocks the relic wall. 'No! If the attack won't stop then Nunnally will be trap in there!' Lelouch thought, as he scrambles up and immediately runs out of the ruins with the brunet on his tail.

He manage to reach outside and is about to look at what is causing the cave in, only to shout in pain and falls to the ground. Suzaku had shot him on his leg as he approaches him with anger and the gun directed at him. "You will not-"

He was cut off when a loud roar is heard, followed by a large shadow from above. The ground shakes again and dust clouds picks up on landing... Shock forms on their faces when they see the very thing that attacked the ruins. 'That frame!' the raven teen thought, the machine he found back in the underground cavern is moving and one of its legs is blocking Suzaku from him. The huge machine roars at the brunet, which cause him to fall on his back and drop his gun. Then the machine hops back, opens a part of its mouth and like a cat lapping up milk, it scoops up the raven teen with the ramp. The Black Knight leader yelps as he tumbles into the mouth of the huge machine and hiss in pain when his injured leg hits something hard.

The machine then closes its mouth and immediately runs off. "Wait! LELOUCH!" Suzaku shouts, as he gets up and glares at the robot that took the one who murdered his beloved.

Not far from it, the ace of the Black Knights could only stare at what happened before her. A huge blue machine appeared from the earth and attacks the ruins, then it took Zero! She thought of returning to her knightmare and look for him...

"He's not Zero! He's Lelouch! He'll just using you!"

She flinches at what traitor of Japan said and hesitates to pursue after the machine.

:::^*^:::

At some point, the machine slows to a stop, allowing Lelouch to get up and investigate the interior of the machine. A door opens near him but hesitates on going inside, because the machine moved then there must be a pilot in it. He waited for the said pilot to come out but nothing... no one walked out of that door, so he decides to look around. He found the helm of the machine and is amazed on the highly advance technology.

Then the chair from the front moves back, towards him and stops by his side. Then he once more feel the cold shock and is followed by a gentle growl in his mind. "What was that?" he asked out of surprise on hearing it. Again, he hears the gentle growl which is also mixed with purring, telling him to take a seat. "Wait, are you alive?"

He is stunned when he heard another purring growl, confirming his question that the machine is alive. He then sits down on the chair, which then moves back to its original position and then the helm lights up. The raven teen looks around with wonder, on such advance technology and thought of the possibility that he could use this for his rebellion. But then the machine suddenly shakes and he hears a loud blast, he winces at the slight pain when he used his injured leg to not fall off the chair.

"ZERO!"

"Suzaku!?"

Outside, the white knightmare frame found the blue machine and proceeds to shoot at it. Lelouch wince as he quickly grabs the controls and pushes it forward in attempt to move the machine. It responds and it bounds away from the white frame's attack, immediately activating it's boosters and blast its way up to the sky. The machine then flips in the sky and shot itself to the other way, nearly ramming at the white knightmare. Then... it continues its way into the sky and exited the atmosphere.

The brunet could only growl and slam his fist on the wall, when his knightmare could not catch up with the huge blue machine. "Damn it!" he swore, as he can only watch the machine fly into the sky.

And there, he vows to hunt down the one who murdered his princess... swearing it on the emblem she have given to him.

:::^*^:::

"Wait! Where are you taking me?!" Lelouch demands, as he looks outside and sees his home in its blue beauty. Once more, he's in awe of the sight of his home, since he saw some pictures which was taken by satellites. He snaps out of it when he heard a growl, telling him to be on guard. "What do you mean?"

Then from the dark, a large, purple ship suddenly appears out of nowhere. He is shock to see a ship of this size exist... it is way bigger than any airship and possibly faster if this thing just appeared to him in a flash.

"What is that?" He could only stare at the huge ship and a growl fill his mind. It shows how this race conquered and killed many worlds, making Britannia look like a lesser problem compare to these invaders. "I'm not letting this creatures near my home!" He immediately push the controls and the machine responses on moving forward, with the mouth open and cannon charging.

The ship began firing at the blue machine, which it nimbly dodges and then fires a powerful beam back at it. The beam cuts a parts of the ship like a blade, causing explosions on its sides but that didn't stop the ship from firing. He once more attacks the ship while ignoring the throbbing wound on his leg, focusing on getting these invaders away from his home. The ship then makes a turn, focusing on its attack on the blue machine. Seeing that he got its attention, the blue machine flew deep into space where there it is open and to prevent advance alien tech from falling into the world...

He does not want Britannia to have those technology, otherwise the entire world is doom to live under the oppressive rule of the Britannian Empire.

He looks back to see that the huge ship is following him. "So far, I managed to get this ship to follow me..." he mutters to himself and then he hears a gentle growl. "What is it?" and then he looks forward and sees something white... It looks like a tear in the black fabric, with sparks of multi-color electricity dancing around it.

He hears another growl. "You want me to fly in there?!" he looks incredulously at the helm and the white tear in space. There is no telling on what will happen if he flies into the tear, there are many possibilities such as more danger or getting stuck wherever he lands into. Another growl mixed with purring and he feels a presence on his side, reassuring him that it will be okay.

Still he thinks of the possibilities... if he flies in there, there will be no one to protect his sister, Nunnally, who is still trapped in the ruins. Although, there is a possibility that Sayako or Suzaku would find her... he glares at the ground, on the fact that his former friend attempted to kill him and take his sister away. Not only that, his rebellion failed since he left the battlefield, Kallen knows Zero's real identity and the army he built is scattered..

However, if he go back, the invaders will no doubt follow him. Although he toyed the idea that these aliens can destroy Britannia with their advance techs, it'll endanger not only his sister, his friends and his adopted home country but the entire world.

Hearing another growl, he also remember that he got this machine. He wants to know more about it, what it is capable of, and to use it against his father's empire... so perhaps the first step is to become it's pilot. Also, there is a possibility that C.C. can reassemble a small group of remaining Black Knights to bail other members out in the future. He breathes in and out, and then he comes to a conclusion... he will not be able to go back, but as long as there is a possibility to return then he'll take that risk.

"Okay, let's go!" He then pushes the controls and direct the machine towards the tear, as well as leading the huge ship into it. Then he looks back... looking at the small, blue sphere, behind the ship and he grips the controls tightly. 'Nunnally... I'll find my way back home and rescue you, I promise.' he thought, as he and the ship enters the white void.

The machine rattles due to the speed its travelling and he is being pushed back on his seat, when suddenly a shock strikes on him. Unlike the cold shock which soothes after, this one is a painful electric shock and it struck his eye where his Geass is. He grits his teeth as he bares the pain and steers the machine into wherever this void leads to... then one of his hand flew to his eye when the pain intensifies. He wants to get rid of the pain, to just rip his eye and to be relieve of it... and then he screams.

Red turns Grey.

And then everything fades to black.

"I pray that..."

Silver: Who wants to see Lelouch vs. Lotor in wits and strategy? Also why pair Lelouch with the Blue Lion and not the Black? While Lelouch have leadership experience, I doubt he would open up to the paladins and be all friends and buddies which is the opposite of the Blue Lion's nature. However, the Black Lion did not chose Lelouch and Blue instead chose him because of being the friendliest lion and easy to approach for newer paladins. Why? While he cares, he could not wear his heart on his sleeves like Lance does and he'll be looking for a way to get back home. Like what Pidge did when she wanted to leave and find her missing father and her brother. In other words, there won't be any Voltron forming in this fic. As for the Geass... yeah something did happen, wait for the next chapter for it.
