“Excuse me?” Shiro let go of Matt.
“You can’t do that!” Keith yelled. “We need you!”
“We also need Lance!” Hunk said.
“But if you refuse to have him, you can’t have us.” Pidge said, as they walked towards Lance.
“Don’t do this…” Lance whispered. “The universe will suffer if you leave! Don’t do this for me…”
“Lance, we have to!” Hunk said.
“Your worth the universe!” Pidge hugged him.
Lance pushed her away. “I’m not!” he cried through is tears. I’m not worth anything!” he ran back into the White Lion, and put the forcefield up.
“Paladins!” Corran called through the coms. “The princess has called a meeting.”
****
The Paladins sat down at the meeting table. She was greeted with glares from Hunk and Pidge.
“I’ve brought you here to discuss ideas on how to attain the WHite Lion from Lance,” she said.
“Excuse me?!” Hunk and Pidge gasped.
“We could try and break the bond?” Keith suggested.
“You’re a monster!” Pidge shouted at Alurra.
“He’s not even part of Voltron anymore because of you! And now you want to take something that doesn’t even belong to you?!” Hunk shouted.
“Lance is too weak to handle such a weapon,” Keith said. “We need it to be in the right hands so it can reach its full potential.”
“LIES!” Corran shouted. “Lance is not weak!”
“Yeah!” Hunk said. “We’re leaving!”
Pidge and Hunk stood up, but Shiro blocked the way. “No.” he said.
“You can’t keep us here against our wills!” Pidge shouted.
“Can, and will.” Keith said.
“YOU MOTHER-”
****
Lance sat inside the White Lion, as she was giving him calming vibes, like Blue would do.
“It’s amazing your friends are willing to leave to help you,” the White Lion said. “I will gladly accept them aboard.”
“But Voltron needs them,” Lance said. “They can survive without me. Not without them.”
“I sense...trouble.” White said.
“What is it?”
“It’s Yellow and Green. They are in distress!”
“The Lions or the paladins?”
“Both!”
“I’ll be right back! I’ll go check on them!” Lance ran out of the lion and into the meeting room.
Lance ran into the meeting room, and his blood went cold. Pidge and Hunk were tied up, unconscious.
“What he heck is going on here?!” he screamed.
“Lance, surrender the White Lion.” Alurra said.
“What?! Why?! You have five of your own!” Lance yelled.
“You're too immature to handle such a weapon.” Shiro said. “This is for the best.”
“Why have to tied up Pidge and Hunk?!” Lance ran to them.
“To keep them from leaving.” Keith said.
“Your holding them against their wills?!” Lance screamed. “What monsters have you turned into?!Wait….WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO CORRAN?!”
Corran sat in a chair, asleep.
“Simply poisoned him to sleep for a while.” ALurra rolled her eyes.
“You would do that to your own kind?!”
Lance was so confused. What had happened to the kind souls that-
Then it hit him.
Lance revealed his bayard, and turned it into a sword. He charged at Alurra and stabbed her into the chest, the sword going straight through her.
Alurra face as frozen in shock. Then, the scary part:
Her hair and skin started to melt off. Her skin was revealed to be purple, and her eyes turned yellow.
The galra woman fell to the ground, dead.
He looked up and saw Keith and Shiro, unphased.
Lance did the same to them. Their skin melted off as ell, revealing them to be Glara’s.
“That explains a lot.”
***
Lance shook Pidge and Hunk awake.
“Wha-What happened?” Hunk mumbled.
“Lance!” Pidge gasped. “Allura's going to try and take your lion!”
“That wasn’t Alurra.” Lance sidestepped to show the dead Galra on the floor.
“Wha…?” Pidge and Hunk trailed off.
“They had been replaced by Glara.” Lance said.
“These past few months….no wonder they were so cruel!” Pidge gasped.
“There’s no time to reminisce on that! We have to get Corran to the White Lion and get out of here!”
Lance picked up Corran and the gang ran to the hangers.
Lance entered the White Lion and put Corran in the ealing pod that it included.
“Please be OK…” Lance breathed. “Your like a father to me...I can’t lose you.”
“Lance? What happened to Corran?” Pidge asked through the coms.
“They poisoned him,” Lance said.
“The let’s get him to a healing pod!” Hunk said.
“No need,” Lance said. “There’s already one in my Lion.”
“Kay, let’s get out of here quickly.” Pidge said.
“Lance, where do you think the real Shiro, Keith, and Alurra are at?” Hunk asked.
“They must be with Lotor,” Lance said. “No way he would put such important prisoners on any ship but his own.”
“Then, I guess that’s where we’re headed!” Pidge said.
“Wait! Someone has to look after the castle. Pide, would you mind staying behind?” Lance asked.
“Fine.” she grunted.
****
Corran fell out of the healing pod. He looked at his surroundings.
This doesn’t look like the castle, he thought. What happened?
He heard a noise coming from the down the hall. He walked towards it and found a cockpit.
“Where am I?” he asked aloud.
Lance jumped out of the pilot seat and hugged him.
”You’re OK!” he cheered.
“What happend Where are we?” Corran asked.
“We’re inside the White Lion. The reason that Alurra, Shiro, and Keith were acting so cruel these last few months was because they had been Glara’s in disguise! They poisoned you and I had to put you inside a healing pod that’s in the White Lion. Hunk and I are currently on our way to rescue The real Alurra, Shiro, and Keith from Prince Lotor. Pudge is looking after the castle.”
“Oh my!” Corran gasped. “How did I not notice?!”
“None of us did,” Lance said. “But the imposters are gone now, and we have to get the real ones back.
“Wait, what do you mean their gone?”
“Oh, I killed them.”
“But...you didn’t know that they were imposters. You were willing to kill them based on a hunch?!”
Lance looked at the ground.
“The minute Alurra said she poisoned you is when I knew it couldn’t be her. She would never poison you. She cares for you too much to do that to you.” He looked back up to him. “So no, it wasn’t based on a hunch.”
****
Pidge heard a gasp, and turned around. She saw Matt, shocked.
“Wh-Where did these Galra come from?!” Matt gasped. “Where’s Alurra, Shiro, and Keith?!”
“Matt, calm down,” Pidge said. “Those Galra had been disguised as Alurra, Shiro, and Keith. Lance killed them, and now I’m trying to find Lotor’s ship to rescue them.”
“I missed all that while napping?!” Matt yelled.
“But we need you to fly Blue. Without Voltron, we barely stand a chance. We only have four lions!”
“Alright, I’ll help you look for Lotor’s ship.”
