It was a pretty normal space day for the paladins as they traveled through space.
Other than training, goofing around,and fixing things that needed to be fixed, it was pretty normal. Loud grunts came from training room,revealing the members training against the Altean fighters. Keith was grunting each time he was hit or everytime he blocked an attack from the tall warrior infront of him. Lance was praticing his shooting skills since he was the team's 'sharpshooter'. Pidge and Hunk was doing god knows what,but they were training hard against Shiro. They tried to keep up with the man who was once called the Champion.
They trained until Lance whined"For once, can we do something else besides training?". Keith looked back over to Lance once the warrior came to a halt and disappeared before he said"Lance, Allura wants us to train. Besides that, you need it.". Lance glared at Keith before he said crossing his arms over his armor"Nobody was asking you,Keith! So shut your quiznaking mouth!". Keith growled as he went to hit Lance before he was stopped by Shiro. Shiro said getting abit annoyed"Knock it off, you two!". Pidge looked over at the team members and said"Yeah, you two always fight..". Lance looked at Pidge,who was currently typing away on her laptop. He said getting all pouty"Keith started it!". Keith rolled his eyes,feeling annoyed. He went to walk out of the training room before Allura's voice rung throughout the room saying"Paladins, come quickly to the throne room.". Shiro sighed as he rubbed his neck. He said"We'll continue this later.". He began to walk out with the rest of the team members. They soon ran towards the throne room quickly,feeling if it was an emergency.
When the team had finally reached the room, Allura was in her formal wear as she stood next to Coran as he was typing away at the machine. They turned around as Shiro asked"What's going on? Is it galra?". Allura crossed her arms as she said"Not exactly. We recently received a message from a distant planet. The one that sent it is unknown.". Keith raised an eyebrow as he said"So what's the message?". Coran turned to press a button on the keypad before huge screen poppped up above them. It was written in both Altean and Galra words.
The team looked at it with confusion before Lance said pointing to it"Um, what is that suppose to mean? Can't read it.". Pidge headed towards her little area before she began to type away,translating the message.
Pidge gave out a soft little huh before Hunk said"What did you find,Pidge?". Pidge looked over her shoulders as she said"Well, all it says is 'Come find me' over and over.". Coran looked over to see if it was true before looking back at Allura, feeling unsure. He said worriedly"This could be a trap.". Shiro looked at him and said"Or it can be anyone that needs help. Anyway, it needs to be checked out. Allura, do you have the coordinates?".
Allura nodded her head as she said"I have already sent it to your lions. Make haste and be careful.". Shiro nod his head before telling the team to go to their lions. Moments later, they were headed towards the spot the coordinates lead to.
Hunk hummed worriedly as he guided his lion. Shiro heard this and said"What's wrong,Hunk?".
Hunk shrugged as he said"This feels like a trap. Remember last time. In the end, Lance gotten tied to a tree and the blue lion was almost handed over to Zarkon?". Lance huffed angrily as he said"You aren't going to let that go, aren't you?". Hunk said "Nope!", dragging out the p into a pop.
Shiro chuckled as he said"Well, let's all be cautious. If its a trap, you know what to do.".
It didn't take long before they arrived at the location the coordinates led them to place that looked like a junkyard. Pidge silently looked around as she whispered"Where is the person that sent the message?". Hunk kept close to Lance as he held hanging on him. Lance said trying to push Hunk off"Dude,Hunk, you're my friend and all,but get off!". He shoved the big guy off of him a little too hard,making Hunk hit a gigantic rock walk. Lance quickly apologized before seeing a hole that Hunk made. Slowly yet carefully, Shiro examined the hole and slowly walked inside the dark hole as he was being followed by Keith. The rest of the Paladins slowly followed the two after turning their lights on. They began to walk as they looked around for what seemed to be hours. Lance said boredly"What are we looking for again?". Hunk shrugged his shoulders before he tripped with a thud. Shiro immediately turned around and said"Hunk, are you alright?". Hunk rubbed his chin as he groaned. He looked at the ground as he pointed the light towards what he had tripped over.
Hunk huh'd in a curious tine before he bend down and picked up a dagger. Everyone gathered around him as to look at the dagger. Keith said wondering"Why is that here?". Shiro rubbed his chin before he heard a tiny voice in a distance. He said"Anyone else heard that?". Lance looked up at his hero before saying"Shiro,are you alright?". Shiro shushed him again,catching the Paladins attention. This time there was a continuous beep. Shiro soon ran towards where the sound was coming from as he was being followed by the rest of the team. It was until they came across a crash site. Putting their guard up, they climbed aboard the trashed ship. They looked and looked for any sign of life,but so far they found nothing.
Soon Shiro had found one room they haven't checked. He and keith tried to open the door,only to find it would not open. Shiro looked around for something that could open before he powered his prosthetic arm. He immediately slice the door opened before he kicked the door in. Keith looked in the room before being shoved to the side by Lance. He pushed himself in and looked around. There laid a body laying on a makeshift bed while the room was littered with trash and old technology. Pidge walked inside and accidentally kicked an empty can on the ground,waking up the person.
It was a young girl. she was in some tattered clothing. She slowly sat up and yawned before she seen the paladins. She immediately stood and ran off taking another way. Hunk yelled"Hey, wait a minute!". He was the first to run after the young woman before the rest of the team followed. They ran after her corner after corner until they hit some kind of slide that transferred them deeper into the planet. The Paladins screamed their heads off as they rode down the slide before being dropped into a lake full of clean water. The team were dropped in midway before swimming to the surface where they seen the woman getting out. Shiro yelled"Hey, wait a minute! We're here to help you!". The girl stopped and turned to look at them with such hope.
About an hour of drying off and heading back to the girl's campsite, they were resting a bit as the girl watched the strange group. Pidge was studying the technology in the room as she said sounding astonished"Whoa, did you really make these?". The girl looked at her and nodded her head before going to attend to the fire. Shiro looked at her and asked"Where you the one who sent the message out?". The girl had frozed before looking at him. Softly, she said"Yes...me and my comrads had sent that out days ago.". Shiro widen his eyes as he said shocked"There are others?". The girl looked at him and shook her head.
She said"Not anymore...they left after a while they sent out the message... I'm the only one here.". The team nodded their head in understanding once they seen the sadden look on her face. Keith looked at her before noticing a Galra mark on her shoulder. He looked at her and said"What is that? On your shoulder?". The girl quickly covered it before she asked"Who are you?". Keith stood up as he said"I am Keith. I'm a paladin of Voltron.". This made the girl's eyes widen before it was replaced with an a glare. She said"Voltron is a silly little myth. So who are you really?".
Hunk looked at her and said"It's not a myth. Voltron is very real. Let us show you.". The girl thought about it before she nodded her head. Soon, the team guided her outside to where the Lions where. The girl's eyes widen as soon as they landed on the Lions. The team smiled at her reaction before Lance walked beside her as he said"So, what is your name?".
The girl turned to look at him with a smile before she said" I am Kira..".
