Hello, everyone I am back. I have been wanting to write a Voltron fanfiction for a while. You may notice some similarities from the show Merlin, I took inspiration from that show. I am not going to be a regular updater, because school. Anywho, Enjoy everyone.
And yes there is gay, because have you seen the shows.
I do not own Merlin or Voltron.
An excerpt from The Life of Lancelot
It was a sunny morning when a young boy was born to a family of fishers. The family had been hoping for a child for a long time when the wife had a dream one night. In her dream a water spirit had come to her and told her that she was with child. She told the woman that this boy would have an important part to play in the future of the kingdom.
Thus on July 28th of the new calendar Lancelot du Loc was born.
On July 29th, of the new calendar, and twenty-two years later Sir Lancelot du Loc was cursed.
Chapter 1: Somewhat
Lance had figured that his luck was going to run out eventually. He had managed to escape death when the bomb went off behind him. He barely escaped it after the fight with Zarkon. He can name so many other times during the fights that any of them could have died. It was a good thing they had those pods, and it was a good thing it was him. He leaned back against the headrest of the seat and looked at the electricity bouncing across the window.
"You know Red I knew I was going to die again; I just did not think that it was going to be today." He felt a comforting purr from the lion.
He looked over to a hidden compartment in red, and then back out of the Omega shield. He remembered when he hid the package in their after taking it out of blue, and the protectiveness he had felt from the new lion.
"Take care of that for me will you, don't let them know it is in their until they need it, okay?" He felt a comforting purr and closed his eyes.
On an unknown day in Space Lance McClain died.
Somewhat.
488 AD Camelot
Sir Lancelot walked into the room where the others were waiting, "My King, My Ladies," he said bowing, before turning to the knights, "Others."
"Gee I can feel the love, can't you Leon?" Elyan asked the book reading knight.
Lancelot sat down at his seat at the table when Morgana spoke up.
"Why would he need to pay attention to anyone else we are the only important ones." She said with haughty attitude before breaking down and smiling.
That set all of the knights off, this was the round table. Ruled by King Arthur and his husband Merlin. His sister Lady Morgana and her wife Lady Gwen, The knights Lancelot, Mordred, Gwaine, Elyan, Leon, and Percival. Camelot was a happy kingdom, there were of course some rough patches. However, when the old King Uther died and Arthur took over it became so much better for everyone. Everyone thought that the happy times would last forever but it wasn't too be.
"How are the Druids, Lancelot?" Arthur asked the knight.
"They are well, they appreciate everything that you have done for them."
Merlin smiled at his friend, "so learn anything new?"
Lancelot let his magic show briefly, the bright blue magic flashing across his brown eyes, "wouldn't you like to know."
Morgana rolled her eyes at the pout on the warlock's face, and the snicker coming from the mage knight. "I think that is why he asked Druid."
Lancelot smirked at her, "I know Witch. You see I learned."
There was a bright flash seen by the people in the streets, and the roundtable was gone.
Back in Present.
"Lance, Lance can you hear me?" Hunk yelled through the comm system, "Guys he isn't responding,"
"I am pulling up now." Allura said as she docked Blue next to Red.
"How is he?" Pidge asked worried, but she didn't get a response. "Allura?"
Allura looked at the peaceful face of the now red Paladin. She pulled off her helmet and checked for a pulse, there wasn't one.
"Lance, Lance, please wake up. You can't leave me too, we haven't done everything that you have wanted yet. You haven't taken me to a movie, or done a sleepover." But he didn't wake up. "You didn't say goodbye." She whispered.
"Allura!" Shiro called over the speaker.
Allura whipped her face but it did not do anything more tears replaced the ones that she whipped away.
"Coran bring the castle around, Hunk, Shiro come grab the lions. I am going to stay in here with him." She said trying to keep her voice steady as she took his hand.
"Princess is he okay?" Coran asked maneuvering the castle closer.
She couldn't say anything. What could she say, there was nothing to say.
Taking her silence as a no the others did as they were told. Before Shiro could grab the Red Lion she woke back up and let out a roar. Then she flew herself into the castle and landed gently. The others landed and ran over to Red, as Allura walked down the ramp carrying Lance.
"Lance?" Hunk asked walking over to Allura.
When he got to her she didn't stop walking but continued into the castle. She walked past Pidge, Hunk, Shiro, and Coran. She walked into the infirmary and gently lays him down on the table as she collapsed on the floor.
The others ran in and saw the princess collapsed on the floor. They saw Lance laying still on the table blood on lips and his ears.
Hunk walked over slowly to his best friend and checked him for a pulse, but did not find one.
"Please tell me this is some kind of bad joke. Coran he needs a pod."
Hunk went to lift him when a hand was laid gently on his shoulder.
"A pod cannot bring back those lost to us my boy." Coran said sadly laying a hand on Lance's shoulder.
"But he can't be dead, he has parents, brothers, sister, us."
He looked over at Pidge clinging to Shiro, she lost another brother. Allura, the one who found him, being consoled by Lotor.
"Oh." Hunk broke down, for his best friend.
Later that night Coran would call the Blades to tell Keith what happened only to be told that he was on a mission. Later that night Shiro would sit next to Lance and ask himself how he would tell his family what happened. Later that night Hunk would make Lance's favorite dish only to break down knowing that he wouldn't be able to eat them anymore. Later that night Pidge would sit in Lance's room wrapped up in his jacket and thinking about how she lost another brother because she wasn't there.
For the next week the coalition did not call the castle giving them the time to mourn the lost paladin. On the seventh day they placed Lance in one of the pods so that they could bring him back to his family.
Nobody said anything until Allura stepped forward, dressed in a pink dress.
"Lance never did let me tell him what the Blue lion stood for. He would say he didn't need to know since she had already chosen him, he was so sure. The Blue lion is for those who are brave and kind. They are the glue that holds the team together. Lance was always good at seeking me out, he always seemed to know when I needed to be cheered up." Allura let out a sad chuckle, "he flirted with me but it was more for entertainment, we both knew I wasn't it. He would tell me stories of his family, just to distract me. He became like a younger brother to me. Lance rest well and may you feast with the kings of Altea."
Coran was the next one to step forward, his eyes noticeably red.
"Lance my boy, you were my favorite. If you saw me down you would ask me to tell you stories about Altea. You would help me if I asked and for me to teach you some words of altean, you were a natural. You were so much smarter then you let others know you were, and I wish you had. I am going to miss how you could light up a room by just walking into it. I am going to miss our late night sessions, where we would just talk. Farewell my son I will see you again someday."
The next one was Hunk.
"Lance, I don't think that I could ever thank you enough. You took someone who was shy and afraid of their own shadow and made them a paladin. You stood up for me when no one else would, and stood by me when others wouldn't. You encouraged me to not give up on myself when I was doubting my abilities to do this. You got along with everyone, you had a way of breaking down their walls and bringing their best selves out. I am going to miss you, I will tell your family your stories."
Pidge shuffled forward next.
"You're an idiot you know. You were supposed to come home with us. Who is going to be there to drag me to bed when I refuse to sleep? Who is going to remind me that I need to eat food? Who is going to drag me to movie nights, or dinner, or start stupid fights in space with potentially hazardous materials?" She took a breath before continuing, "sometime in this journey you managed to worm your way into my heart. I hope that you knew that I thought of you as my brother. I want you to know that despite what I said earlier I, we are going to be okay. I will make sure that me and Allura go to sleep. I will remind Shiro and Hunk to take a breath and to relax. I will listen to all of Coran's stories. So don't worry okay we will be okay."
Pidge tried to smile reassuringly, Hunk came over and hugged her, then Allura, then Coran finally Shiro.
Shiro look up at Lance and said one thing, "Goodbye, we will miss you."
They closed the pod, but if they had waited just one more minute, they would have seen that he started to glow. He glowed blue and then disappeared. They would later see that Red put up her shield and refused to let anyone back in, because if they had they would have seen a secret compartment glow blue faintly before stopping. However, they did not see that, no one did, well no one human anyway. The mice see everything, but they won't mention anything, yet.
The castle of lions was not the same after that day. The team could not seem to work as fluid as before and Red did not let anyone into her. No one wanted to look for a new red paladin, and no one wanted to think about replacing him. Others stopped by to say goodbye to the paladin, but the crew refused to bring the pod up.
One day Matt stopped by and asked to be alone with him, they had bonded when he was there. Matt waited until everyone was in bed before stopping by the hanger, Red let him in. He sat down and leaned against the compartment.
"You really hurt them you know. I know you didn't mean it but I would like an explanation."
"I might not know the exact reason but I could guess."
Matt looked up and sitting across from him was a dark-haired man in his late twenties. He was wearing a pair of simple brown pants and a red shirt. He had a deep blue jacket with gold designs that seemed to change every time Matt tried to focus.
"Merlin, I presume?" Matt asked smirking.
"Yep, but how did you know about me and that?"
"A mutual friend, Mordred says hi."
Merlin laughed, "You know I would ask what he has told you about me, but I am scared."
"That is probably safest. So why did Lance do it?"
Merlin sighed, "Because he is an idiot with a heart of gold."
"I already knew that."
"Did you know that, that is not Shiro out there?'
"Obviously, I have known him forever. I knew he was gay before he did, I think that Keith also knows, on some level."
"I managed to talk to him once, he was happy. He told me about everything he had done and accomplished with this group. He wanted to be able to introduce them to everyone eventually." The last time we had talked he said that he needed to talk to someone."
Matt sighed and shook his head, he pushed himself off the floor and started walking to the door, "I think that he could have found an easier way to do it."
Merlin laughed again, "I am sure he could have, but he was never one to take the easy path."
"Take care Merlin."
"You too Matt."
Merlin went back to his room and watched Lotor pacing and talking to himself. Merlin walked over to where he stopped pacing, Lotor couldn't see him.
"Be there for them, if they need help, help. Give them time. You are doing fine.
Lotor heard him, Merlin released a little bit of his magic to calm down and soothe the hybrid.
Merlin went back to Red and crouched down near the compartment, "I hope you know what you are doing, there are a lot of people missing you."
Then Keith came back with another altean and his mother.
When he got off the ship he looked around but noticed that someone was missing, "Where is Lance?"
Shiro stepped forward and pulled Keith into a hug, "It is good to see you, you look older."
Keith narrowed his eyes, "where is Lance."
"Lance is, Lance he." Allura took a breath and continued, "Lance died."
Keith could not understand, it is impossible, Lance is not supposed to die. That was what he thought when he told them about Haggar and the Alteans.
"Haggar has been draining the Alteans for quintessesnce. She tricked them into them thinking she was their savior."
They looked over at Lotor who shook his head, "I swear I did not know anything about this. I would have told you if I did."
Pidge hugged him, Lotor had been helping her to talk about Lance.
"I know, we know you are a good person."
That is what he thought when he found out that the Shiro that had been with them was a clone.
"Please, Shiro, you can't leave me too."
Keith thought that he heard Lance tell him to not give up.
That was when he thought when the castle imploded and turned into a crystal.
"Red you want me to fly you?"
Red lowered her head and Keith ran up and back to the seat. He looked around and noticed the small things of Lance. There was a blue blanket folded up in the corner, in case of a long flight. There were pictures of everyone taped all over the place.
That was what he thought when they were waiting for the clone body to accept the spirit of Shiro.
"How did it happen?"
Allura looked up and then over at Lotor who nodded and left the room.
"We were at the Omega Shield, repairing it from an attack. Something went wrong and I did not see the danger until he pushed me out of the way. He saved me."
"He was always good at being the knight in shining armor." Keith chuckled with no humor.
Allura placed her hand on Keith's, "he cared about you a lot."
In Black's Mindscape
"You know I never did think you were the type to give up, they need you."
Shiro started and looked up to see Lance.
"Lance what are you doing here?"
He crouched down and Shiro noticed the armor and sword. It was silver and was in really good condition, there was a pouch tied to a brown belt. The sword had a blue gem sitting at the top and brown leather wrapped around the pommel. His hair was longer and curled around the top of the blue cloak, he also looked older.
Shiro blurted out the first thing he could think of, "You really like the color blue, don't you?"
Lance looked shocked for a moment before letting out a laugh and almost falling over.
"Yeah, you could say that." Lance looked up as if he heard something and then smiled softly. "I think that it is time for you to head back don't you, someone is waiting."
Shiro felt the pull and decided to follow it, but then he looked down and saw that Lance wasn't following.
"Aren't you coming too?'
Lance looked up sadly and then back over to Shiro, "take care of them will you."
Then he started to walk away, "Oh and ask Lotor and Coran about a couple of books called The Round Table Court would you, thanks."
Then he disappeared and Shiro woke up, to find out Lance is dead. Shiro had forgotten about the books.
Back in the Mindscape
"They need you too, you know." Lancelot looked over at King Alfor.
"I know and I want to go back to them so bad, but you know that's not how it works."
"I do know, but it wasn't just Shiro you needed to talk to, was it?"
Lance turned toward the King, "No he wasn't. Tell me Alfor, about what happened to Zarkon and Honerva."
Well there you go, sorry. I hope you enjoyed it.
