A/N: I actually came up with this one since my mother likes watching Voltron. -_-" This was written when I was still on season 1.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Voltron: Defenders of the Universe.
Summary: When a mission goes wrong, the Voltron paladins find themselves in one of the alternate realities that Slav spoke of. Not only are the paladins different people, but Voltron has been broken up! How will they get back from a universe that seems to have given up on fighting Zarkon? Now the Saint Beasts, Galra rebels against the empire, seem to be the only hope against Zarkon's conquest.
Disbanded Paladins
Blue Paladin Log Part 1
A brunette with a dark blue eye patch was seen adjusting some sort of camera before sighing. "Princess Allura said something about making a log for each of the paladins. Honestly I think this pretty dark, we're fighting against Zarkon. This will be the only thing that people will have to remember of us if we fail." She says, absentmindedly moving some hair out of her face. "Where should I begin? I suppose a name would be good. I'm Annabel Faust, the blue paladin. My parents sacrificed me in an attempt to appease Galra invaders when I was a kid and lost my eye in one of their gladiatorial arenas. I was rescued by several Galra rebels that slowly started gathering their own fleet to rival Zarkons." A soft smile was on her face as she seemed to recall her rescuers. "My older brothers are all Galra warriors and I honestly can't remember much about Earth. During one of their raids they stole one of the lions that Zarkon had in custody, Blue. She's a vain and boastful thing but she's a wonderful friend to have by my side. Seiryuu said she's an awful influence on me but he has always been super serious." Annabel says with a slight pout.
"Dude, she's Pidge level adorable!" Lance exclaims.
Pidge just rolls her eyes.
"So the Galra succeed in invading Earth in this reality." Shiro comments.
"Is no one going to acknowledge that she was taken in by Galra warriors?" Hunk asks.
"No wonder Lance was perfect for Blue." Keith states as the blue paladin silently fumed.
"I guess I should talk about my teammates as well. Kurama, the green paladin, is honestly the most beautiful person I have ever seen. He's always cultivating plants that… I'd honestly expect to be in horror movies. There was this one tree that was actually sentient and was attacking the Galra with its roots and branches. It's like he's a single rose surrounded by thousands of thorns. I'm glad he's on our side." Annabel says with a shiver.
"Then there's Kuwabara. He's one of the most chivalrous boys I've ever met but I swear if he hits on me or Allura one more time I am hitting him with my staff." She says with an irritated scowl. "He's the yellow paladin and a pretty skilled mechanic. He usually patches up any small injuries that we get during missions and is like a giant puppy." Annabel says with a giggle.
"Yusuke is our leader and, to be completely honest, would have been the last person I would have picked as the black paladin. At first I thought that it was just a fluke that the black lion choose him but… I'll admit I was dead wrong. He's head strong and has such confidence and charisma that you can't help but either want to follow him or knock his lights out. Apparently he and Kuwabara were both rivals on Earth so they tend to get into scuffles from time to time but it's never anything serious. He's also a major pervert, thank god none of us are wearing skirts." Annabel grumbles.
"Finally there's Hiei. I like to call him the grumpy cat of the team, the joke only got funnier when I realized that he was part Galra. I swear I saw him hiss at Kuwabara once when he tried to interrupt his training. He's an elemental and can use fire, he's like a walking furnace." She says with a slight blush. "Honestly, he was the only one that hadn't underestimated me just because I was a girl. He also has a bad boy attitude that girls seem to love for some reason. I swear I actually saw one of the female inhabitants of a planet we just liberated flash him!" Annabel growled darkly. "Then the teme had the balls to look at me for a reaction! Half the time I want to strangle him, the other half I want to give the guy a hug just so he'll smile."
"Um, does anyone know what teme means?" Lance asks.
Shiro sighed. "It's bastard in Japanese."
"This Hiei guy kinda sounds like Keith." Pidge chimed in.
"Do you think all blue and red paladins bicker with each other?" Hunk wonders aloud.
Keith folded his arms. "I am not like a cat." He states.
"Dude, you are totally a cat! Your hair is even bristling!" Lance snickers.
"Honestly I hated humans. But with my teammates… maybe there is something salvageable about the Earth." Annabel says with a warm smile. "Are you done yet?" Someone called out, sounding bored. "You know Allura is going to make you do one of these things too right?" Annabel says, the voice scoffed. "I'd rather set myself on fire." The voice says as a teen with spiky black hair and narrow crimson eyes walked into the room, leaning against the wall impatiently. Annabel rolled her eyes. "We're still having our sparring session, calm down." She says as Hiei just stalked over and started dragging her away from the camera. "End video, end video!" She shouts before the feed is cut off.
Blue Log Part 2
When Annabel was focusing her camera she looked vastly different than her human self. Her hair was now silver and her skin was a lavender shade. She looked excited. "My brother made a pendant that can alter the appearance of its user. Cool isn't it?" She asks with a grin. "I used to look like this all the time when I was with my brothers. Unfortunately I nearly got shot and stabbed because I forgot to tell some of my teammates that I was changing my appearance." She says, smacking herself in the forehead. "And I don't think Hiei appreciated being used a shield since he burnt the cake that I was eating earlier. I swear, it's like I live in a frat house or something." She groans.
Lance was currently laughing his ass off on the ground as well as Pidge.
Shiro was just shaking his head in disappointment.
"But wasn't that guy shorter than she was? He'd make a horrible shield!" Hunk exclaims.
Even Keith chuckled a bit.
"My brothers also tried visiting and nearly got blasted by the castle defense system. They're still a bit sore about the incident so Byakko and Genbu had to stay back in their ship since they're… aggressive. Suzaku, Seiryuu! Could you come here for a moment?" She shouts into the hallway. Two Galra druids joined her in the room, both looking thoroughly annoyed. One Galra had spiky blond hair and an eye covered by a black eye patch, the same eye that Annabel had covered. The other had light blue skin and short black hair as well as a short beard, his yellow eyes narrowed. The blond sighed. "Do all humans lack brain cells? Perhaps it was best when we took you in." Suzaku states. "Just what are you doing kit?" Seiryuu asks suspiciously. "A video log! I figured since you were already here I could introduce you!" Annabel says happily.
The blond ruffled the girl's hair fondly, smiling softly and the blue druid's glare softened slightly. "The blond with the cool eyepatch that matches mine is Suzaku. He usually has his bird with him but he left her behind so she wouldn't go after the space mice Allura keeps around. The grump beside him is Seiryuu and he's the one that taught me most of my fighting moves and energy manipulation." With that comment Seiryuu bopped her on the head, making her whimper. "Show some respect brat." The blue druid states. "Alright, what's the real reason that you called us in here?" Suzaku asks, watching Annabel fidget nervously. "I just want the people watching this to know that not all Galra are bad." She mumbled, looking like she was trying to hide her face in her arms in embarrassment.
"I'm sure the message will come across clearly. Using that Galra form on your missions is already helping in that regard." Suzaku says with a fond smile. Off in the distance they could hear an explosion, Annabel groaned. "Ugh, that's probably Kuwabara or Yusuke again. Time to do some damage control then." She says, rubbing her forehead in an attempt to stave off the headache that was starting. "This has been Annabel Faust, blue paladin and proud member of the Saint Beasts. See you in the next log!"
"Not that these aren't fun but it doesn't really explain what happened to Voltron in this universe." Pidge says, brows furrowed.
"Maybe we should just skip to the last one." Lance comments.
Blue Paladin Log ?
When Annabel turned on the camera, her eye was red from crying. "Our mission to liberate another planet was successful, but at what cost? While we were distracted Zarkon's men broke through the castle defenses and… and…" She sobbed for a minute before she could pull herself together. "Princess Allura and Coran… they're dead. By the time we got back there was smoke billowing from the control room and we saw their corpses along with the bodies of Zarkon's men. If we hadn't left we could have saved them and now everyone is splitting up! Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to Earth, Kurama said he was going back to his home planet and Hiei decided to go off by himself to find a sister that might not even be alive." She sniffed.
"Whoa, whoa! The princess and Coran are dead in this universe?!" Lance exclaims.
The rest of the paladins looked shaken as well, they were hoping that the princess would be able to assist them in getting back to their universe.
"I'm going back to the Saint Beasts, I can't just sit back while Zardok causes havoc in the universe with his existence! It would be an insult to their memory and everything that they stood for if I tried to sweep everything under the rug for a boring, peaceful life. To anyone still out there with the will to fight, there is still hope. The Saint Beasts will fight to their dying breath to bring peace once again to the universe." She says with a determined glint.

"It feels like a life time ago when I recorded those logs." A gentle, almost fragile, voice says softly. The figure wore a dark blue cloak, a hood obscuring their face. At their side was a silver staff that gave off an ethereal blue glow and crackled with power. "Slav often mentioned different realities, how this one was fated to have a sad end. I wonder, what of the reality you all have escaped? Is it one still with hope or is it full of despair?" She wonders wistfully, her voice barely being carried by the wind. It sounded tired but there was still a determined undertone to the way that she spoke that reflected that of the blue paladin in her logs.
"Who are you?" Lance demands, the woman lifted up her hood to reveal a druid-like appearance with an eyepatch. "You seriously watched all my logs and don't know who I am? Seems Blue choose poorly in your reality." Annabel deadpanned as Lance's face flushed. "Is there any way you could help us?" Shiro asks, Annabel nodded. "I always keep my word. Anyone that fights against Zarkon has the support of the Saint Beast fleet. I honestly wasn't expecting this many people so I only brought Blue with me, hope you all don't mind a tight squeeze."
"Zarkon is probably after the lions here as well. Why would you risk the blue lion by piloting it?" Shirogane asks once they were inside the lion, Annabel face flushed. "Because she's the only flying vessel that I haven't crashed. With her, flying is instinctive. Anything else and it gets to be overwhelming and then I can't accurately tell what distance I am from an object. I'm a terror and a risk to my surroundings according to my flight instructor." Annabel says bluntly. And they were putting their lives in the hands of this woman?!
