The Purple Paladin

by thewickerwoman

A new paladin arriving will unravel a web of lies and provide a new challenge for the paladins: Can they get on with a 6th paladin when they are already struggling? And what about the damaged connection between the purple lion and the other lions? Kendria has been thrown into a world she never wanted to enter, and it doesn't help that she has her own demons as well.

2. Chapter 2

"Shit"

"Is that… Galra?" Hunk whimpered.

There was another bang, and it quickly became apparent that the planet was under attack by more Galra, and this time they were causing a significant amount more damage. Rocks were flying in all directions, some landing at the paladins feet.

Keith saw red. "IT WAS A TRAP ALL ALONG, YOU SET US UP! Keith shouted, storming towards the leader.

"No, I swear, we have been fighting against the Galra for milens! We would never betray you! We didn't even know the Paladins were still in existence!" cried the leader, taking a few steps back. He turned, shouting something intelligible at his next-in-command.

Shiro placed his hand on Keiths shoulder, holding him back. "Keith, this is not the time for fighting. Paladins, back to your lions!"

The paladins never looked back. Sprinting to their lions, they were in the air within a few ticks. Corans voice came through the speaker.

"Paladins, there appears to be 15 Galra ships approaching you. 3 have already done surface damage to the planet. It is vital that the Galra do not access their technology! We will assist from the castle as much as we can."

Shiro barked out orders and everyone set to work. It was vital that these Galra ships were defeated. However, they were not giving up easily this time. The paladins struggled, and with only 4 of the ships defeated within 30 dobashes, it seemed that forming Voltron may be the only way to win this battle.

"Team, I think we need to-"

"LANCE WATCH OUT" Hunk cried over the radio.

Lance dealt the last blow to the ship he was battling, and turned his lion around. To his horror, a large laser beam was coming straight for him. Before he even had time to react, a swish of purple crashed into the lion, removing Lance from the line of fire.

A few ticks passed.

Lance, who had been knocked out of his seat from the crash, looked up. Staring directly at him was a purple lion, nearly identical to the other lions. It was slightly smaller than the green lion, and had some visible surface damage.

Everyone reacted at once.

"What the-"

"No way"

"W-what's that?"

"Who the?"

"Holy sh-"

"Coran, I thought-"

"Princess…"

"Well, that was dramatic"
