When they stepped out of the portal they landed in the red lion's cockpit. The second they stepped in the lion it woke up all the controls light up they both felt a happy, but angry purring sensation in their heads.

"I guess the red lion must be so happy to see us after so long, said Lance.

"Yeah you're right. Sorry red," said Keith.

When they looked at the camera to the outside hanger they saw the other paladins and Coran with looks of shock on their faces. Shiro was try to get through red's forcefield.

"We better get out there before Shiro hurts himself," said Keith with worry in his voice.

"Agreed," said Lance.

Suddenly, Keith felt a lot of pain in his right arm, which Lance noticed. "Are you OK?" asked Lance.

Keith responded, "I will be fine."

They exited the red lion and went through the particle barrier, then they get tacked by the rest of the paladins and Coran into a group hug. When they looked up they noticed that all of them had tears in their eyes.

They were given a rapid fire of questions by everyone.

"Are you ok? Are either of you hurt?" asked Hunk.

"How did you escape?" asked Pidge.

"Keith did you rescue Lance?" asked Shiro.

"What happened to that dangerous creature?" asked Allura.

"Do you know what it wanted to do with the princess?" asked Coran.

"Yes, we are OK. No, neither of us are hurt. Wait, what do you mean escape? We didn't escape. We didn't need to rescue anyone either. What dangerous creature? We don't know what you mean," Lance answered each of the questions.

"What do you mean? Lance was kidnaped by that thing," said Allura.

"Did that thing brainwashed you guys?" asked Pidge, looking at them quizzically.

"We are not brainwashed," said Keith in an annoyed tone.

"It is good that you guys came back, though. We were about to replace you guys as the red lion's paladin," Shiro tactlessly said. "Either way, good to have you guys back. We should probably get going to Oriande."

"Shiro, shouldn't we go out and kill that creature before it comes back one of us? After all, it was looking for Princess Allura as well," said Pidge.

"I'm pretty sure that Keith and Lance already dealt with the creature on their own, right?" Shiro said.

"Wait what? We didn't kill anything," responded Keith, feeling awkward and uncomfortable about this conversation.

"What do you mean you didn't kill anything. Is the creature still alive?" asked Shiro. In an annoyed and angry tone.

"Yes," was Keith and Lance's responses

"How can the two of you be so stupid?! You put this whole team in danger! If you two are this in competent then you two should not be paladins anymore. You two will be easy to replace. Get out right know and never come back," Shiro yelled in anger.

Everyone was so in shock at Shiro's words that they didn't notice his eyes glow purple while he said it. When he was done yelling his eyes stopped glowing and the words he said sunk in and he immediately regretted them.

Everyone was so in shock they didn't say anything.

"Keith lance I-" Shiro tried to get out.

Before he could say anything else, they ran back into the red lion with tears in their eyes.

Before anyone could say something to him he ran after them.

"Keith, Lance!" he yelled. He heard something sound like talking from the cockpit and went to it. When he got to the door he heard what sounded like talking then a loud poof. When the door opened their was no one there. He searched the entire lion. They were gone.

A few minutes earlier with Lance and Keith

Lance was in tears. "How could Shiro say that? How could the other agree with him?" said Lance, very upset.

Keith had tears in his eyes but did not cry. "How could Shiro say that? He promised that he would never abandon me. He promised. He is like everyone else," said keith Keith clenched his fists and just said, "I want to go back to the Blade," over and over again while on his knees hugging himself. Lance grabbed Keith's hand asking if he was OK and before he knows it Keith's hands were glowing and the light was enveloping them. When he opened his eyes they were surrounded by the Blades.

"Kit, there you are. And the red paladin is with you. You just vanished two movements (weeks) ago," said Kolivan in the stern tone he usually had, but it had underlines of care and worry.

"Wait, it has only been two movements?!" Lance cried out in shock. "It has been a year for us! We went to another dimension. We learned that Keith was part pony 're telling me that we spent a Deca-Phobe (year) in Equestria trying to get home only to get kicked out of Voltron and we only left for two movements here?!"

Before anyone could say anything Keith grabbed his right arm in pain. Kolivan called for a medic to look at it. When the medic removed Keith's jacket he found that on Keith's arm was a black veiny jagged scar running from his wrist to his shoulder.

Kolivan questioned, "Where did you get this wound?"

Keith revealed, "When I arrived at Voltron they thought that I was an evil creature and attacked me." Unbeknownst to Keith, his mother, Krolia, was also in the room and she looked furious.

Kolivan finally said, "With this wound on your arm, I would say you are in no condition to continue fighting for the moment. However, if time really works differently in this Equestria then it may be good to recover in this land instead of ours. That is, if you can return to this land."

Before Keith could say anything lance said, "Yes we have these dimensional scissors that can get us back there." Kolivan nodded.

"If you want us to we can take you back to Earth," said Kolivan.

Lance looked at him then at Keith. "Thanks but no thanks. I may miss my family a lot but my parents taught me to always help a friend in need and Keith need my help and I will not abandon him." Kolivan just nodded

They got everything ready and opened another portal. Before they walked through, a hand placed itself on Keith's shoulder. It was Krolia, who said, "I will be here for you when you return." Keith did not know how to react so he just nodded.

Before they went through Lance asked, "What was that all about?"

Keith's response was "I will tell you later." Then they went through the portal to Equestria.
