Another day had passed before Pink and Holga were off together again with Holga in the cockpit as Pink walked through the forest, avoiding the small animals whom were scurrying around and about in the bright green and clear environment. Holga's stomach grumbled a bit and Holga rubbed it.

"You okay?" Holga telepathically asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright Pink, just starting to get a little hungry. That's all." Holga replied before her stomach growled again. "Probably shouldn't have left on an empty stomach, hehe."

"We can stop for breakfast if you want."

"Yeah, I think my stomach would agree with that, hehe."

Pink gently stopped in a thicken of trees, lowered herself onto the ground and opened her head, allowing Holga to exit with her luggage bag around her right shoulder. Holga sat down near a bush and put her luggage bag down before opening it up and taking out a large sub sandwich. A little odd for breakfast but it would fill her stomach.

"So who do you think we'll run into on this island?"

"I don't know. We've been hidden for a while now and not discovered. Hopefully...they're nice." Holga prayed.

"Maybe."


Soon, Holga was riding inside of Pink as she walked through the new environment for any other sign of life. "Not seeing anything so far..." Holga quipped before Pinks' radar picked up something. "But the sensors picking up something..." then the radar showed five blimps. "Five somethings."

"Where are they?" Pink questioned but that answer came when the five somethings came of the brush and surrounded the pair. Turns out, the five things were more robotic lions!

Black, Green, Yellow, Red and Blue - with the Blue Lion looking almost identical to Pink.

"More robotic Lions?" Holga blinked in surprise.

"Where did they come from?" Pink questioned.

"Uh, anyone in there?" a voice came.

"Eek!" Holga squeaked.

"Lance, don't scare her!" another voice came.

"Oh sorry Pidge, its everyday a Pink Lion that looks like Blue shows up." Lance snarked.

"Come on you two, play nice." a women's voice was heard. "It's alright. We're friends here on Arus."

"Arus?" Holga echoed confused.

"Yes, I'm Allura and these are my friends Lance in the Red Lion, Hunk in the Yellow Lion, Pidge in the Green Lion and Keith in the Black Lion. What's your name?"

"Uh...Holga. And this is Pink." Holga replied shyly.

"And just how did you two end up here and escape our detection?" Keith questioned through an intercom.

"Uh...that's a...really long story..." Holga admitted.

"You can tell us back at the Castle of Lions." Allura replied.

"Castle of Lions/Castle of Lion?" Holga and Pink echoed together.

Just what did they get themselves into this time?


Pink and Holga gasped in awe at the large Castle of Lions, "Pretty cool right?" Lance smirked.

"Y-Yeah." Holga nodded stiffly.

Pink followed the other Lions inside behind Blue where the lions pulled into their respective cockpits and Pink was large enough to get in behind Blue before she laid down and opened her mouth to let Holga out where the others met her.

"So...you all...live here?" Holga asked shyly.

"Yes, we call do. Along with out other three cadets." Keith nodded.

"Other three?" Holga echoed before...

"Woah! A Pink Lion!"

"Sweet!"

"Now that's unexpected!" a trio of voices came before three teenagers appeared. One was a 16 year old boy with Hazel brown eyes, brown hair and dark skin. The second had spiky black hair and purple eyes and fair skin while the girl also had fair skin but long orange hair and blue eyes.

"Whose this girl, you guys?" the dark skinned boy asked.

"Vince, Daniel and Larmina meet Holga." Allura introduced.

"H-Hi..." Holga shyly waved to them while Pink stared at them.

"Nice to meet you." Daniel replied politely. "So you drive this Pink Lion all on your own?"

Holga nodded, "Yeah. Pink was...created by my parents but they gave her to me..."

"What for?" Larmin asked and Holga nervously rubbed her right arm, not ready to talk about her current situation.

"I-I don't wanna talk about it right now."

"That's alright." Vince assured. "We won't pry if it makes you uncomfortable."

"How about we start with getting some lunch?" Kieth suggested and the others nodded before they went off but Holga looked nervously at Pink.

"Your worried about you-know-who finding us here with them aren't you?" Pink questioned knowingly and Holga nodded.

"I-If he finds them here...with us...we'd just put them in danger..." Holga breathed sincerely.

"So...what do you wanna do...tell them...or not?" Pink inquired to her Rider.

Holga's mind was fluttering with many thought on how the group would react once she told them about her backstory and that she and her parents were currently on the run for their lives. They all seemed nice and loyal to each other but...being on her own for years with only Pink to rely on..made her a bit distant when it came to trust.

"...I don't know..."


AN: Sorry for the huge wait. Had serious writer's block with this chapter. More ideas for the plot line are more than welcomed.
