The Blue Lion lands in front of a pristine white and blue castle. Lance was only following what Blue felt, guiding him, his friends, rival, and hero onto an unknown alien planet. He innately knows that Blue wouldn't do anything to harm him, will how warm and tranquil feeling that is surrounding him, even when they were battling that purple Galra ship.

Blue lowers her jaw, singling that they should get out. He's reluctant to leave, but he feels Blue's gentle prodding to go, and feels the support from the advance ship. He steps out of the ship and takes a deep breathe. He can still feel a connection with Blue.

"So how are we going to get in?" Hunk asks, pointing at the humongous doors.

Lance shrugs, his Lion managed to get they here, not like Blue can get them inside.

Blue stands up on her hunches and roars. The door opens.

'I stand corrected.'

He saunters inside the vast, dark, and desolate building. Everyone else is ambling cautiously inside. Honestly, they are acting like Blue would take them somewhere dangerous. He trusts her. Everyone stops at the center of the dark room, probably wondering if they should continue without a light source. His phone battery is around eighty and use that.

The second after they stopped a light-a scanner-came down on then. It was...weird to say the least. A scanner happening as to activate when the door opened, and he felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck. Nothing to be worried about, the pins and needles when your limb presses against your nerves. What really freaked him out-besides the lights on the wall illuminating-was Shiro immediately tensed and got into a fighting stance. The man startled him, and he looks around the area, but no one came. Shiro relaxes.

Shiro's actions startled everyone: Pidge lifted his fists up chest level, Keith has his hand on the hilt of his dagger, Hunk is flailing his arms around, and Lance is like "what?"

He may be tense and confused but he has a reason to trust Blue. She makes him feel complete, and lived like his entire family, so it's sad to see how instantaneous Shiro's reaction is. Still, he would have Shiro's skills in a fight, if his reaction is like that. Distantly, Lance recalls if someone's reaction time is honed, that person is good at fighting or dodging.

Nothing happens for a minute, and Lance sighs in relief. He knows he could trust Blue. Now they have to follow the creepy lights, at least the tingling sensation stopped.

Even with the underline feeling of calm and some kind of purring-Blue is one special girl-he does not like how the lights turn on as they walk down the halls.

"It's like some kind of abandoned museum," Lance voices his thought out loud as they turn a corner that is suddenly lit up.

What gives? Does this place have some kind of motion sensors?! Harmless, sure, but whoever built this place cranks up the creep factor here.

"More like a bad set up for a horror film." Pidge comments as he drags his hand against the wall.

"It's not that bad. This is kind of nice." Keith comments.

"Seriously? I feel like I'm being watched," Hunk shivers as he looks to the side and above.

"Nothing's going to happen big guy, what's the worse thing that can happen?" Keith asks, Lance, Pidge, Hunk, and even Shiro looks at him with horror.

"Dude what the crow?! You don't say that stuff, it's like the main reasons why people die in horror movies! That and splitting up." Lance announces as he mimics Hunks earlier actions with terror and haste.

"I don't see the big deal." Keith says as shrugs his shoulders.

Lance's eyebrow twitches, he makes it his mission to get close to Keith and educate the desert hermit on the finer points of entertainment. "That's like the worse thing that could happen. You're going to be the first person that dies here. I hope you're happy."

"In fact, I am." Keith said as he moves away from the annoying teen.

"Keith," Shiro guys, "you should know better."

"You know I only watch psychological thrillers, sci-fi, and action movies. Horror is not part of the thriller genera."

"Technically thriller is under the umbrella, along with suspense." Hunk inputs before clamming up from the raven hair teen's killer glare he gave him.

"Yeah what my bro said," Lance said as they take a right turn.

"I have to concede with them," Pidge says.

"Yeah! The original trio back in action!" Lance yells then lowers his voice because it was echoing and smirks, "Even Shiro agrees with us."

Did he mention that this place is creepy? It is. It is hella creepy. The creep factor is worse when he saw his abuela come out of the garage to investigate a raccoon with a flashlight and a broom. She had her face mask on and he had nightmares for a whole month. That incident did not stop him from using face masks when he was fourteen.

"Well excuse me for not knowing movie trivia." Keith huffs, crossing his arms.

"It's cool. You'd be the first guy to die if we were part of a horror flick."

"I'm pretty sure it would be you since you're the idiot, I mean the comic relief." Keith smirks, not even trying to hide his insult.

"You are you calling a idiot?"

"Obviously the person who doesn't understand what I just said."

"You want to go bro?!"

"Lance," Shiro reprimand. "Keith stop."

The brunet breathes out of his nose and digs his fingers into his palms. He doesn't bother with giving Keith his gracious attention.

The lights stop illuminating outside of a door and they walk in front of it. The large door opens and the group cautiously scans inside the room. They can't see any alien lifeforms inside, he spots a few pods in a circle in the middle of the room.

Everyone walks to the center of the center, and Lance walks in front of a pod. Sure he watched some movies that the alien inside is going to kill him, but at best the building is just creepy. No one is going to die, and from a little over an hour he has bonded with Blue, he knows his girl isn't going to kill them. Maybe the aliens here will tell them about Voltron, the giant fighting robot.

He sees a beautiful woman when he got closer. Dark skin and either white or blonde hair. White, his mind supplies as the pod opens and the woman falls. He catches the beautiful alien, she is humanoid, she has pointed elvish ears.

'I wonder if she was inspiration to any fantasy writers,' he thinks before his eyes widen when the gorgeous woman opens her eyes.

Blue and pink, a weird combination but she pulls it off. It might be due to the pink arrows at the corner of her eyes, accenting her pink and blue iris.

"Hello," Lance says smirking, "looks like a beautiful lady fell into my arms." He winks for good measure.

He doesn't know how aliens flirt, so he might as well lay it on thick.

"Your ears," the woman said, gazing at him with curiosity.

"Yes?" He asks and wishes to hear the woman's feminine velvet like voice.

"They're hideous," she says as she moves out of his arms, pushed his arm behind his back and roughly tugs on his ear.

"Ow ow ow ow," he yelps.

Getting his ear pulled is awful, but at least it isn't like his mom disciplining him with her chanclas. He pushes the horrid thought to the back of his head, he does not want any of those memories when a woman is man handling him. It's painful, but kind of hot at the same time.

He loves strong women.

Well, if he's being honest, strong humanoid people.

"Where did you come from." The beautiful woman demands.

"Easy miss, we came here through the Blue Lion." Shiro said as he appears as harmless as possible.

"The Blue Lion. Who is her Paladin? Did the Galra follow you here?" The woman inquires as she unhands him.

Lance straightens up, "I'm that lovely Lion's Paladin. I'm Lance McCLain. Care to introduce yourself gorgeous?"

The woman glares at him. "I am Princess Allura of Altea. We were at war with the Galra until...my father put me in the pod. Coran?"

A man falls onto the floor from the beginning of her introduction. Lance immediately went to him as everyone stood around the Princess. While Allura may be beautiful, he wants to be away from her for a moment.

So he might have been play fighting with the older orange haired Altean with a magnificent mustache. It's nothing bad, but he guesses that the Altean did not hear his leader saying his name.

"Coran." Allura orders, wanting her fellow Altean to get his attention.

"On it Princess!" Coran salutes and goes to a futuristic desk. He pulls up something, he was grinning before frowning. "We...we were asleep for ten thousand years and Altea is gone...good news though! Apparently we are on the planet Arus."

Allura gasps before regaining her composure.

Lance emphasizes with Allura. She lost her home and just found out, and even though he left Earth with the other humans.

It's amazing that Allura can be confident after everything. In fact, after the one second of weakness, she is just rolling. Allura took them somewhere, where Lance names the holodeck, and gets straight down to business.

Looks like everyone is on their own mission to get their own Lion.


"So are you going to be okay with this?" Hunk asks as he clenches on Lance's pilot seat.

Lance just flew through the wormhole that Allura opened up for them to get to the Yellow Lion. He really like how Yellow captures Hunk's essence, he will always be on the defense whenever someone is attacking one of their friends—usually verbally—before he goes on the offense.

"What do you mean? I don't mind flying you to this peaceful planet." He replies as he focuses on flying to the planet's atmosphere.

"I mean with Keith. You are going to work with him to form Voltron." Hunk says nonchalantly as he keeps an eye on his best friend.

Lances fingers tighten on the controls, and Blue purrs, calming him. Lance rolls his shoulders before dodging a Galra ship. "What the crow? I thought this place was peaceful!"

"Lance."

"Don't worry about that bud. I'm not angry at him, but I will say something if he does anything wrong. I'm miffed, not angry. Quiznack," Lance curses as he avoids a few lasers from the Galra. "Can we not talk about this now?"

"Yeah, sorry. Ugh," Hunk groans as he swallows any bile that might have forced it's way up his esophagus.

"Hang in there. I do not want to clean up again in Blue. She might not appreciate it again." Lance jokes as he jerk up, before forcing the thrusters. He goes low to the ground, using he planet's gravity to accelerate their descent, and he is few meters above the ground. "I'm going to drop you off as close as I can to Yellow and draw the Galra away."

"Wait. No no n-" Hunk yelps as Lance opens the under jaw hatch.

"Go get 'em Hunk!" Lance yells before turning around and shooting the laser tail at the small ships.


"Haha we did it!" Hunk cheers as he gets out of his hangar.

His buddy is holding his hand up and Lance saunters over to slap it before he puts his arm around Hunk's neck. "You beat we bid! Team Voltron is unbeatable! We sure taught those Galra not to mess with us, ain't that right Pidge?"

Pidge was already out of his lion and looking over Green if she had anything damaged. "Huh? Oh yeah, sure taught them not to mess with us." He said walking close to the duo.

The Green Paladin squawks when Lance reaches down to hug the guy. Hunk took it to be an impromptu hugging session and the guy looks over to Keith and Shiro, "Paladin hug?"

Pidge is kicking his legs and shouts in protest. Keith looks at the three of them scoffs at their absurdity. He leaves the hangers and Lance frowns at him and moves on.

What a jerk, he thought before looking hopefully in Shiro's direction.

The man holds up his hands as if he is surrendering, and gives them a small smile. "Maybe later, we all need to get cleaned up."

Spoken like a true h-leader. Still group hugs are something magical, even if the armor gets in the way of feeling how nice everything is.

Lance gasps, Pidge managed to kick him in the stomach. The teen escapes his grasp, and Pidge went beside Shiro. Lance clutches Hunk, swooning in his arms, "Our first successful mission and I'm hurting."

"There there, let's go to the common deck."

A/N: I love Coran, so everyone here is this gorgeous man. This guy needs more screen time in season 3 along with Hunk and Pidge. I'm like 70% certain that Lance is going to get another episode dedicated to him, but I also need assertive Hunk. I just can't have him have one part in the Space Mall episode. Well really, I want all the main characters devlped, but Lotor there so if he's shown a lot—along with Haggar—I'll be good. Also more Galra, am I the only one who was freaking out to see those Galra commanders? Yes? No? Whatever, I got Lotor's shoulders to freak out with too.

I was really tempted to make Lance say "I love you" jokingly to Hunk when he dropped him on the planet. Then I remembered April 1st so I'll hold off on that.

Chancla means flip flop or sandals if anyone is wondering.

I don't know about you guys, but I really wanted to use the chancla here. Ever since I knew what it was, I imagined that Lance would get hit occasionally when he gets too out of hand. It's a Mexican thing and not a Cuban one, but hey, writers get leeway. Not all Mexican families use this as a form of discipline because all families are different.
