Buffy wasn't doing too well. After the coup she had been really distant. These were all things Dawn was noticing. She had forgiven them but not completely, at least not Xander and Willow. Dawn knew she needed something to do, and it wasn't gonna be guarding some half baked hellmouth. There were more slayers now, Buffy didn't have to deal with all of this insanity.
And that was why Dawn had asked Willow to do a spell. A spell that Willow had said could be very, very dangerous. Dawn didn't care, her sister needed to be useful, if she wasn't then she would very likely dwell on all of the horrible things that had happened in her life. That would be why at this very moment Buffy was being hurled through a portal.
Buffy was going to kill Dawn. She knew that Dawn had done this for a good reason, but when you were being thrown through a portal at unspeakable speeds your perception of your little sister was a little bit off.
Finally the spinning stopped. However it was replaced with an awful cold. It creeped up her toes and her fingers like, well she couldn't really think of a good simile at the moment. She was freezing, no doubt about that. The reason was probably because she was in space.
Castle of Lions Control Room
"Princess there is someone out there." Coran said as he looked out into the monitor.
"Coran, bring them in. They will die out there." Allura said, because it was obvious to her that the person was without a spacesuit.
"Right away Princess." He said, latching on to the person with their tractor beam.
"Paladins go to the cryochamber immediately." Allura said over the loudspeakers. "I'm going down there to will you have the person transported there?"
"Of course, but Princess how do we know this being is safe?" Coran said.
"I don't know Coran. I just have a feeling about this one." Allura said. Coran didn't ask her to elaborate, which was good, because Allura didn't exactly know what she was talking about either.
2 Hours later The Cryochamber
"She's human?" Lance asked, they had thought they were the only humans out here.
"Yep as human as they come. I think." Pidge said, pushing her glasses up.
"You think?" Keith asked. "She's either human or not."
"Coming from you that's a bit much don't you think?" Lance said. He was referring to the fact that they still didn't quite know what Keith was. "She's pretty."
"I'm more interested by how she didn't explode out there, she didn't have any kind of protection. And she is healing remarkably fast." Pidge said.
"And she's woken up." Buffy said startling all of the paladins. Then launching herself at Keith, since he was the closest, she grabbed his neck. "Where am I?" She asked deadly serious.
"You're in the Castle of Lions. I'm not really sure where we are in space, but will you please let go of Keith." Pidge answered quickly.
"The Castle of Lions? Like from Voltron? That show from the 80s?" Buffy asked. She had seen it a few times, but to actually be in the Castle of Lions. That was a little overwhelming.
"You know The big V?" Lance asked.
"Wait. If we're in Voltron does that mean that you're Keith? The guy with the really bad mulet?" She said turning to the guy who she was still kinda strangling.
"C-can't breath." He managed to get out. Buffy immediately let him go.
"So you agree that the mullet was a mistake?" Lance said.
"Wait so you guys are actually telling me I'm in Voltron." Buffy said. Then under her breath. "Dawn I'm going to flay you."
"Well where are you from?" Pidge asked. "I've never heard of anyone healing as fast as you were. And you picked Keith up like he weighed nothing. Who are you?"
"Let me guess you're Pidge. The green lion and the research-y one. You know you're a lot like Willow, except a guy." Buffy said.
"Actually, I am a girl." Pidge said kinda guiltily.
"Really? That wasn't in the show." Buffy said mostly to herself.
"Where are Allura and Hunk?" Keith asked hoarsely.
"I'm here." Hunk said walking in with a plate of green jelly stuff. "Figured our guest would be hungry."
"Why are you all treating her like we can trust her?! We don't know anything about her." Keith said.
"Well I was sent here by my little sister. Because apparently you guys need help with your Voltron-ing." Buffy said, offended.
"Yes we do need help." Allura said entering the Cryochamber.
"Allura we don't need-" Keith started.
"Yes. We. Do. We haven't been able to form Voltron let alone operate the black lion." Allura cut in.
"But Zarkon was defeated." Hunk said. He had been enjoying the time away from the kill-y gallra.
"You guys have only dealt with Zarkon?" Buffy stifles a laugh. "I went through 8 apocalypse and dieing. Twice."
"How did you die twice? You're right here." Pidge said. She was very intrigued.
"You said you were sent here? By whom?" Allura said, before Buffy could answer a question she didn't want to explain right now.
"Dawn. She's my sister. She figured she and the slayerettes, Xander's name not mine. Would be fine and I needed some people to save. Which is ridiculous, but the portal won't open back up until I have reached my quota for saving people." Buffy explained to Allura.
"How did she send you here? Obviously you're from a different universe, but-" Pidge was just thinking out loud. This fascinated her beyond the point of fascination.
"Wait. Different universe? Are there shrimp here?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah. I love shrimp. I miss shrimp, shrimp is really great." Hunk said.
"I still don't know why we're trusting her." Keith said.
"Keith isn't obvious that she was sent here to help us?" Lance said, putting his hand on Keith's shoulder, then quickly taking it off.
Before anyone could say anything else Coran was on the loud speakers.
"Paladins there is a Gallra ship attacking a planet just up ahead."
"Get to the lions." Keith and Allura said at the same time.
Everyone rushed out of the Cryochamber and to the control room. Including Buffy who just was going along with it. When they got there, each paladin went down their respective shoots. When the lions were out Buffy watched on the screen. They were losing. The Garla? Galra? Were beating them. Wasn't there supposed to be five of them?
"Hey where's the black lion?" She asked Allura.
"It doesn't have a paladin." She answered.
"I thought Keith was the paladin of the black lion. And you're supposed to be piloting the blue lion." Buffy said.
"Maybe in your version, but not here." Allura said then turned back to maneuvering the castle.
Buffy looked around, she found where the others had gone. There were chutes with numbers on them. No one had gone down the one with a one on them. So Buffy went down the one with a one on it.
As she flew through the castle she thought about if this was a good idea. Whatever, was the next thing she thought though as she was dropped into a freaking lion.
"Where am I?" Buffy asked mostly to herself.
"You're in the black lion." Allura said.
"What? How am I supposed to work this thing?" Buffy asked.
"It'll tell you. You're the first one it's turned on for." Allura answered.
Then Buffy grabbed the thing that looked the closest to a steering wheel and the lion moved.
"Well this should be fun." She said then rushed into the fight.
