I do not own Voltron but I wish I did!
A/N: I am so so so sorry everyone I haven't updated in months! But I was watching Tangled the Series, and the last episode gave me an idea! So this story will sort of follow the song Ready As I'll Ever Be! Uh! I love it! So here we go! Annnnnddddd who saw Season 6? I won't say anything! But because in had this story going before season 6 I will be going my own direction. And I thought it was funny how there is an episode called the Black Paladin's! Just like this story! And this fic may start to be Keith Whump...hehehe... Anyways! On to the story!
Keith blinked and sat up, but hissed when his broken wrist sent a jolt up the rest of his arm. Keith glanced down at his arm and frowned seeing shackles clamped right around both wrists. He tested the restraints and gasped at the movement. He was on his knees, which were beginning to ache.
He followed the chains and found them to be connected to the wall. Keith's eyes traveled to end up in front of them. He was behind a glass wall. On the other side of that wall stood Shiro- no Kuron, smirking down at him. His glowing yellow eyes filled with malice. Keith was pained at the reminder that his brother was dead. But when Kuron chuckled, Keith was overcome was rage and he yanked at the shackles.
"Let ME GO!" Keith yelled. The chains rattling with the force.
Kuron only chuckled.
"Keith, Keith, you aren't going anywhere except to my Master."
So Keith was in a different base, and would be transferred later. But who ordered his capture? It can't be Zarkon, he was dead. Who else? Wait... Lotor. He had sent his Generals after him. Keith felt stupid for not realizing. He hope his friends found him before he had to meet Lotor. But Keith also didn't want to be trapped here with Kuron.
"But you'll be my guest for a while here." Kuron said opening the glass, and stepping in. Keith didn't have time to react before Kuron grabbed a fistful of hair and slammed Keith's head into the wall behind him. Keith's vision starred and he looked to find Kurons face inches from his.
"We're gonna have so much fun." Kuron smirked. He released Keith's hair and Keith sagged forward. Please come. Keith pleaded in his head.

Lance's POV
"Ok, so how are we going to find Keith." Hunk asked. This is all my fault! If I had tried harder to fight against Shi— Kuron, we would still have Keith. I- I could have been better at hand to hand fighting. Keith was teaching me. I brought my hands to my face.
"Lance?" Pidge asked.
"It's all my fault." I mumbled.
"What?" Pidge asked stepping next to me.
"ITS MY FAULT KEITHS GONE!" I yelled.
"Lance, it is definitely not your fault." Hunk said.
"Hunk's right Lance, you did nothing wrong." Allura said.
"I was right there. I-I just watched him leave with Keith!" I said,
"Didn't you say Kuron used him as a shield? You made a good call, and Keith didn't get shot." Coran offered. Yeah, I did. Keith didn't get shot and had a better chance. It wasn't the best chance, but it was better than him shot and bleeding.
"Thanks guys." I said. The team smiled at me.
"Alright. Back to finding where Kuron took Keith. I was thinking, and I could possibly track the Altean pod's signature that he stole." Pidge said pulling up his computer.
"Oh yeah! That might work!" Hunk speculated.
"Good job Pidge!" Allura said smiling. We're coming for you Keith. You just need to hold on until we can get to you.

Keith's POV
Keith watched as Kuron paced back and forth in front of his cell. Keith knew Kuron was going to try something. Keith got his answer when Kuron stopped pacing and smiled.
"You know what, I can use you to get the lions of Voltron! I will trade you for the lions. If they don't you will die and they won't have a black Paladin, if they take the trade, the lions will belong to the Galra!" Kuron laughed. Kuron was straying from Lotor's original plan?
"Kuron-"
"QUIET!" Kuron yelled. His robotic arm glowing purple.
"Don't interrupt me Keith. Or there will be consequences." Kuron laughed. Keith glared, choosing to speak anyways.
"They will never trade the Lions! Voltron and saving the universe is much more important than saving me. Your plan will never work!" Keith smirked. Kuron yelled and flipped a switch. Bolts of electricity cascaded up his arms from the chains and jolted his body. Keith couldn't help but yelp. The sensation was brief for Kuron had turned it off.
"That's only a small taste of what can happen." Kuron snarled. Keith snarled at him. Kuron stepped in the glass and cooed at him.
"The little kitten has fire!" Kuron said playing with his hair. Keith shuddered as far away as the chains would let him.
"Well, we'll see what your friends say when I deliver the ultimatum." Kuron says leaving the room, and leaving Keith alone in the dark.
