Oh my word, this was so much fun to write!
I don't own Voltron.
The last one to return was Red.
When Red returned from his flight, he seemed agitated, almost panicked. We entered his hatch to find his chosen paladin dying. We rushed her to the infirmary where she remained in a coma for days.
She was clearly of Galran descent. Her hair was a jet black and her skin a greyish purple. Her age was difficult to gauge but our best guess was between 17 and 25.
I was in my quarters when the alarm rang out. Lights flashed for code red. I rushed to the command center. A voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Patient escape on level six. Considered armed and dangerous. Stay out of the main corridors. Repeat: stay out of the main corridors."
"Pull footage from the security cameras." I ordered as I entered the command room.
Hundreds of camera feeds appeared on the wrap around vid-screen.
"There!" I pointed to one that showed the escaped red paladin moving from guard to guard disarming them and knocking them out with shocking speed and skill. This woman had been trained as a weapon.
The feed took over the screen. They had to keep switching feeds as she moved.
My heart skipped a beat as she headed to the place where the green pilot was working. I relaxed slightly as she ran right past it. But then she doubled back. Their eyes met and for a moment, nothing was said.
"Do you want to get off this rock?" She asked the younger one.
The green paladin shook her head. "They were nice to me." She said.
A short nod and the red paladin was off.
She doubled back a second time.
"How about you come anyway?" She asked. It wasn't forceful. It was more like an invitation for friendship.
Shockingly, green agreed. The red paladin slowed her pace so the green one could keep up.
Guards appeared in her path, but she did the same to these as those she faced earlier. The green paladin gasped in shock.
"You aren't killing anyone, are you?" She asked.
Just then, they came into view of Lieutenant Skylar. She charged after him but hesitated just slightly, presumably because she sensed the bond between their lions.
At the same moment, the green paladin screamed. "Don't hurt him! He's my friend!"
The red paladin grasped Lieutenant Skylar by his armor's collar and raised him into the air with one hand.
"Tell me, why are the halls so devoid of Terrans?" She demanded.
"We aren't trying to hill you." He assured her while struggling to free himself.
She scoffed. "I know your kind, you have been lied to if you believe most are not ruthless savages."
"We aren't I sw-"
A stun blast hit her in the back. She crumpled to the ground.
"What did you do that for?" Lieutenant Skylar demanded, "we need her to trust us!"
"With all due respect, she could have mortally wounded you, sir." He replied.
The guard grabbed her shoulder. She snatched his hand, pulled it under her, rolled over him, and slammed his head to the ground hard enough to knock him out.
"Yes, your fellow Terrans seem quite friendly." She said, her words thick with sarcasm. She continued at her rushed pace while the lieutenant and the green paladin followed close behind trying desperately to convince her that they were on the same side.
The doors to the hanger bay opened. She pulled Lieutenant Skyler and the green paladin behind her as a lethal type of blast shot through the gap narrowly missing her. She activated the panel to close the door.
"What on Earth?" Lieutenant Skylar exclaimed, "They have orders not to harm you!"
"Oh really? And why's that?" She asked, her questions coming rapid fire.
"You're a Paladin of Voltron!" He shouted.
"Oh, so I have worth. I like having worth. Helps keep me alive." She crouched down in front of the door in a pouncing position waiting for it to open.
"Don't kill him!" Lieutenant Skylar shouted in alarm.
An eyebrow shot up. She wasn't smiling, but he could hear the smirk in her voice. "Then he'd better not try to kill me."
The door slid open and she pounced. The attacker was thrown off guard as she grabbed his gun with one hand, grabbed his head with another and used it to pull her legs up onto his shoulders where she kicked off so hard that he flew across the room and she did a somersault in the air before handing gracefully on two feet.
She tossed his blaster to the side. "There, I have not killed him, as you requested. Now, where might I procure a ship?"
Author Note:
I am so excited for ya'll to get to know the red paladin! She was the first one I thought of, and I love her character.
Dyn is the yellow paladin, Lieutenant Skylar (doesn't have a first name?) is the blue paladin, and A'ya is going to be the red paladin's name, but I don't have names for the others yet. If ya'll could suggest some, that'd be great!
See ya'll later!
