For this third day, I have one challenge : introduce a character that is not in Kingdom Hearts already (well i don't have to do it in this prompt but it happened to be here). So, since I'm currently crazy about Voltron, say hello to the potatoe squad ! The theme Blue was perfect for this, even thought I could have pick Aqua but it was too obvious ! Thank you again Ejes, you are amazing !
Tomorrow, the theme will "Home". Any idea ? Good reading everyone !
Sora massaged his temples, staring right in front of him. His sight was still blurry, although it was getting clearer. He couldn't wait to see what the sleeping world he ended up in this time looked like. The last one, the Pranksters' Paradise, had seemed very festive but ended up being full of any kind of traps. This time, he should be much more cautious, and much less naive.
He was puzzled by what he was seeing. In front of him was a kind of lion. A blue lion. A blue, gigantic, robotic lion, if he wanted to be really precise. No matter how many worlds Sora had visited, he had never seen anything like this. Was it a kind of heartless? The robot was still, and the boy didn't really feel threatened by the metallic feline.
"Hey, what are you doing with my lion?"
The keyblade wielder, his mind still fuzzy, turned around as fast as he could, forgetting to summon his weapon. A brunette young man was walking towards him, gesturing with his arms. There were other people behind him : a man looking as solitary as Cloud, but with black hair, another, taller and older, with short dark hair lightened by a white forelock, a dude with a darker skin, dark hair and a friendly smug on his face. The last one was... A girl? A boy? Someone who couldn't be taller than Sora, with the same spiky hair, only a shade lighter.
Looking around, the boy noticed the blue lion wasn't the only one. There were other gigantic felines, a green one, a yellow one, a red one, and a black one. Sora felt so small next to them, but he still strangely didn't feel threatened at all. His mind was finally clear when the one who talked to him reached him.
"Hey, answer to me! What are you doing here? How did you get into the castle?"
"Uh... Hi? I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I told you I'm here by accident?"
"Accident?" repeated the one with the white lock, while all the others looked at him as if he were their leader.
"I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Sora, nice to meet you!"
"Sora? I'm Shira. This is Keith, Hunk, Pidge, and Lance."
"Are these lions yours?" asked the boy, his eyes sparkling.
"Of course they are!" answered Lance. "We are Voltron, the legendary defender! We all have a lion, Blue is mine, and when we are together, we are forming a huuuge robot that nothing can stop, not even the Galras!"
"Wow, that's so cool! Never heard of that before!"
"Wait a minute... You mean you don't know Voltron? Where are you from again?" said Hunk, surprised.
"I'm from another world... From another universe, even." The spiked hair boy smile. "I fight too to save the world... Using this!" He summoned his keyblade in his hand.
"Wow! What is that weapon?" asked Hunk.
"How does it work?" Pidge was suddenly really interested.
"Well, this is called a Keyblade, and I can control it because I'm its wielder... Quite frankly, I'm not sure I get all of this, but long story short I use it to save the worlds."
"Then that's just like our lions." Noted Hunk. "They are the ones deciding who can pilot them."
"Worlds?" noticed Keith.
"Yes, there are many worlds... many universes and I have to protect them!"
"Oh, I see, no big deal" laughed Lance. "And I guess you are doing that all by yourself?"
"No, we are several wielders, but I'm the one in charge of this area. I guess I shouldn't be telling you all of that... Well, it's too late now, isn't it? Hahaha!"
"What do you think, Shiro?" asked Keith.
"I've heard of that before... That's something a bit different from alternative realities, but... Yes, I've heard about Keyblades before. I think we can trust him."
Everyone instantly relaxed, and Sora naturally smiled. He had been worried they would see him as a foe, since he broke into their place, so he was lucky one of them knew the legend about the keyblade.
"Then what are you doing here?" finally said Shiro.
"You see, that's a bit complicated." Sora didn't really wish to display all the elements of his exam. "If the magician Master YenSid sent me here, I must have a task to accomplish. Perhaps I can help you in some way?"
"With your height and your hedgehog hair?" skeptically asked Pidge.
"Look who's talking" whispered Lance, who burst into laughters with Hunk.
"You know, I can hear you", they sulked, and Sora still didn't know what gender they were.
"Any help is precious." smiled Shiro. "Welcome among the paladins." He held out his hand, and Sora gladly shook it.
"Thanks, I feel like we will make a good team!" happily said the boy.
"I can't wait to see you use that weapon." Keith said, curious.
"Oh, I'm no expert yet... But according to King Mickey, I'm not half bad. Riku told me I still had a long way to go, though. Riku... I hope I will see him again soon."
"That Riku, is he a friend of yours?" asked Hunk.
"Yes, he's a wielder too, and he's much stronger than me..."
"Paladins, sorry to interrupt", a man's voice echoed through the speakers, "but a Galra fleet has been seen close to a goods ship for the planet Antrul."
"Got it, Coran! Voltron Lions, here we go!" Shiro yelled.
"Sora, come with me." offered Lance. "My lion is the best one!"
"So he likes to think." whispered Keith a bit further away.
"Hey, I heard that!" the brunette shouted. "Don't you worry, Blue, you are the best one, don't pay attention to him!"
Sora followed Lance into the enormous lion. He was used to space travel, but this robot had nothing to do with a gummi ship. As often, Sora let that everlasting feeling of joy invade his mind. This adventure would be one of a kind, and Lance's jokes did nothing to prove him wrong.
