Pidge proves to them that she can be as badass as they are and Shiro is so proud of her.

It was supposed to be an easy mission. Sneak into the Galra ship, take every intel they have, set a self-destruct sequence then get the hell out of there.

Of course, when it comes to being a paladin of Voltron, nothing is easy.

Shiro glanced at his side, eying his teammates with a critical eye but with so much blood flowing from his wound, he can't really see much.

Hunk who was kneeling at the end of the line was breathing heavily, making Shiro worry. He wondered if the yellow paladin had sustained heavy injuries. The blue and red paladins were also not in a good shape.

Lance had a bruised face, a result from the punch he received from the commander of this ship. Keith looked like he could topple to the ground at any moment, dizzy from all the beatings he got when he attacked the commander that punched Lance. Pidge, thankfully, was not here. The only female paladin in their group was in another room when Shiro and the others were ambushed.

"Now then. I understand that there are five paladins of Voltron. Currently, I have four. So where's the other one?" the commander whose name Shiro had already forgotten asked with a sneer.

"Ha!" Lance huffed loudly, shifting a little in his position. "Like we would tell you," he smirked at the commander.

"Again, I ask you, where is your other paladin? And think carefully what you say, blue paladin, or you might not be able to speak at all after this," the commander threatened.

Shiro glared at the commander, anger welling inside of him at the threat the alien had just made towards Lance. Before he could open his mouth, the light within the room went off, leaving the occupants flailing blindly in the darkness. The emergency light lit up and basked the room in a faint purple.

"You know, I would have checked who I messed around with before I do anything."A voice said through the coms from somewhere. All of the paladins perked up when they recognised that familiar voice.

"Who are you?! Show yourself!" the commander demanded.

"You see, I don't really like it when someone tries to hurt my friends." Pidge continued, ignoring the commander. "Which is why, I'm gonna do this."Instantly, all robot sentries pointed their blaster at the commander, leaving the paladins unguarded.

Surprised at this, the commander bared his teeth, hands gripping tight on his weapon.

"You asked me who I am. Well, let me tell you." the door opened and Pidge entered in all her green suit glory. "I am the green paladin and I'm going to kick your furry ass!" she announced before launching herself towards the Galra.

Taken by surprise, the commander swung his weapon a second too late before Pidge's bayard wrapped itself around the Galra and gave him an electric shock powerful enough to knock him out cold.

Now out of his restraints, Shiro looked at Pidge with a proud smile. "That's my girl," he praised her.

Pidge preened, grinning in triumph. "Thanks, dad." she answered in a joking manner but her tone was sincere, showing how happy she was at the compliment. "I got all the datas so let's get outta here."

Shiro made a sound of agreement and went to help Hunk while Lance helped Keith. With Pidge at the front as their guide, they made their way back towards their Lions and quickly left the ship, eager to be back at the castleship that had now become their home.
