New Cadets
Disclaimer: I do not own Voltron Force
The 4 cadets are mine though. In this chapter you will meet the major internal antagonist. But, take a guess first after reading the chapter. Enjoy.
Lance flew the craft carrying the cadets to the planet Arus. All of them were eager and he smiled, remembering how Daniel and Vince used to be.
"Lance, come in Lance. What is your status?" Daniel asked, the screen popping up. The two girls squealed, partially surprised and partially in delight.
"Hey Dan man. We're not too far from Arus, should be there in under ten minutes." Lance said.
"Good to hear. Pidge has made sure the voltcoms are a go." Daniel said.
"Good, we don't want one frying on us, now do we Vince." Lance chuckled.
"You just can't let it go, can ya?" Vince laughed.
"What are you laughing at Vince?" Larmina asked in the background.
"Hey Larmina, shouldn't you go get dressed, the new cadets will be here in ten minutes." Daniel chuckled.
"Why didn't anyone remind me about that?" Larmina growled.
"I thought you remembered everything." Daniel taunted.
"Why I ought a…" Larmina started.
"Ending transmission." Lance said quickly.
"What was that all about?" one of the girls asked.
"That's how Larmina gets whenever Commander Daniel taunts her." Lance chuckled. When they touched down at the castle of lions Allura was there to greet them, her swollen pregnant belly shown proudly and Keith was standing there with her.
"Welcome to Arus, and to the castle of lions." Allura said, before leading them to the castle.
"Where did Larmina go, she's not one of those girls that takes an hour to get ready unless it's something formal." Vince said.
"Something tells me she's going to show up any minute." Daniel chuckled as the cadets, king, queen and red lion pilot walked through the doors.
"Cadets, I'm sure you know who these two are, you've already met Lance, and Hunk should be joining us shortly. Daniel, where is my niece?" Allura asked.
"Haven't the slightest clue my queen." Daniel said.
"I'll go fetch her." Allura said.
"No need, I'm here." Larmina called from the hall way.
"Ah, there you are." Allura laughed as Larmina joined the group, followed by Hunk and Pidge.
"Hello cadets." Larmina said.
"Let's show the cadets around, but first, their names." Daniel said.
"Excellent idea Commander Daniel." Allura said before letting out a small yawn.
"Allura, you need to rest." Keith said.
"I will rest once the cadets have been given the tour." Allura stated. Keith rolled his eyes but agreed with his wife.
"Your names?" Daniel asked.
"Tony Ferrari." An auburn haired boy said with bright yellow eyes.
"Serenity Dream." A caramel haired girl said with hazel eyes.
"Milani Troy." Said a spunky black haired girl with bright green eyes.
"James Matthew." Said a blonde boy with brown eyes arrogantly.
"Great. Now that we've got that established, let's take the tour." Lance chuckled.
"Quick question first." James asked.
"Yes Cadet James?" Lance asked.
"Sorry, but this question is directed towards Commander Daniel." James said indignantly.
"Ok, shoot." Daniel said.
"Are you really what's best for Voltron?" James asked. It was deathly quiet for a moment.
"You're asking if I am what is best for Voltron. Do you mean overall, or just which lion I pilot?" Daniel asked.
"Both." James said.
"I am nothing compared to Keith, that much I can assure, but as far as the current and hopefully long time Commander of Voltron, yes I am." Daniel said. Keith smiled, nine months ago, Daniel would still be hesitating with a question like that, but Keith had a serious talk with him, which boosted Daniels esteem and confidence level.
"Oh, you think so. What does King Keith have to say about that?" James asked arrogantly.
"First of all, do not bring me into arguments I had nothing to do with Cadet, or it could cost you your stay on this planet and your membership of Voltron. Secondly, Daniel is a fine leader, he studied under me and Lance about strategy and earned his way up to the lion he pilots now. What makes you, Cadet, think that he would be unworthy?" Keith asked sternly.
"The Haggarium incident. How do we know for sure it's out of his system? And furthermore, how do we know it won't return if it is dormant, that it won't turn him against us. Personally I think it's a hazard to have someone who was and could still be contaminated, leading the Voltron Force. Besides, I think I would be a better leader." James said arrogantly. Milani turned her gaze to him.
"Would you just shut your freaking mouth, are you trying to get us all kicked out?" Milani hissed.
"I'm just stating fact." James said. Milani looked ready to slap him so hard he'd be spinning for a week.
"Tell you what Cadet, when you can maneuver through an asteroid field, flying a giant robot lion, and still fire dead on accurate shots at the enemy armada, like the Glorkians, with a concussion, then we'll talk. Until that day should arise, you're the Cadet, and I'm the Commander, and that's the true facts, not some self-absorbed nonsense. Do I make myself clear Cadet?" Daniel asked sternly. James lowered his head and mumbled.
"Look at me when you're talking to me." Daniel said.
"Yes sir." James said, looking up at Daniel.
"Excellent, now, on with the tour." Daniel said, smiling. They began the tour, Larmina and Allura going over the details.
"So, now that we're done with the tour and all, let's get these newbies their voltcoms and get to training." Daniel said.
So tell me what you think. I will update as soon as I can. I know it's short, and I apologize for that. R&R.
