My friends wanted me to do this. So be prepared for some trash!
Pidge is not included for a reason.
The paladins of Voltron stood in the glorious city of paris. They had finally arrived back on earth, and were taking a well needed vacation.
But in all honesty, Lance just wanted to be at home. He thought once they all got to Earth, he'd be free of all their judgement. But nope! They all insisted on staying in touch.
"C'mon Lance! Keep up!" Pidge groaned.
Lance looked up, and saw that he had fallen behind the group.
"Oh! Sorry!" Lance ran up to them.
"C'mon Lance, I thought you'd be able to keep up with us on Earth, unlike in space." Shiro said, then everyone laughed.
Lance's heart broke. Had he been seen as such a comic relief that they thought he wouldn't mind being brutally insulted?! TO HIS FACE!"
As Lance stood there in shock, the others walked ahead of him.
"Yeah, I'll catch up," Lance mumbled.
___________________________
Lance walked into an empty alleyway and started to cry.
"We're back on Earth," Lance whimpered. "Yet I still have the doubt of living up to their expectations!"
Suddenly, Lance saw a little black butterfly flying towards him.
"How pretty," Lance sniffeld and smiled.
Lance reached hedl out a postcard he had planned to send to his family, and the butterfly landed on it. Suddenly everything stopped. Lance could hear a deep voice, whispering to him.
"Shadow Doubt, I am HawkMoth," the voice said. "You're friends are forever shaming you? Well, I give you the ability to make them feel how you feel. All you have to do, is get me the miraculous."
"What's miraculous?" Lance asked.
"They're the magical jewels that give the superheroes their powers." HawkMoth said.
"What superheros?" Lance asked.
"UHG! Americans," HawkMoth groaned. "You'll know them when you see them. Do we have a deal?"
Lance nodded. "They'll finally know what it feels like!"
Darkness engulfed Lance, and he turned into Shadow Doubt.

The rest of team Voltron sat on a bench in a park.
Keith was worried. Lance seemed very hurt at Shiro's comment earlier, and he hadn't been seen since.
"Hey, do you guys know where Lance ran off to?" Keith asked.
"Eh," Pidge shrugged. "Who cares. Probably just ran off after a pretty french girl."
The others laughed, but I didn't.
Suddenly, I saw something on the ground. It looked like a simple shadow, bu there was nothing casting it.
"Hey guys," Keith said. "Look at that," he pointed to shadow.
"That's weird. Pidge knelt down next to it. "Nothing's casting-"
Suddenly, an inky black hand emerged from the shadow and grabbed her hand. She screamed in horror, and the others helped pull her away.
"Pidge are you Ok?!" Shiro asked.
She said nothing. Her eyes were now an ink black and she kept mumbling things.
"Pidge!" Hunk shook her.
Suddenly, we heard a rumbling from behind us. We all turned to see the shadow turn into a black figure...
The figure chuckled, a sound we knew very well.
"L-Lance?!" Shiro gasped.
"I'm not Lance anymore," the figure growled. "Now, I'm shadow doubt!" he pushed passed us and knelt down next to Pidge.
"How does it feel?" he hissed. "To feel like everyone hates you? To never be enough?"
Pidge's eyes got darker.
"Better hurry up and save her," Lance stood back up. "Or else she'll be trapped in a never ending pool of doubt for the rest of her life." Lance laughed maniacally, and slithered away.
"Wh-What just happened?" Hunk breathed.
"I have no idea," Keith said. "Since when can people just...turn into that?"
"I don't know," SHiro said. "But we need to get Lance back. Good thing we brought our bayards!"

Ladybug and Chat Noir ran on the rooftops, searching for the akuma.
"Hey, what's that?" Chat pointed down to the street.
Down in the streets, three people-one with a gun, one with a sword, and one with a...glowing hand?-were fighting a inky shadow.
"That must be the akuma!" Ladybug said.
"But, who are the others?" Chat asked.
"Maybe they're miraculous holders?"
"Then, where are their masks?"
"We'll find out later. C'mon!"
Ladybug and Chat Noir landed and started to fight the inky shadow.
The shadow started to bring more shadows and attack with them.
Suddenly, Ladybug was back to back with Chat Noir.
"What do we do Chat?" Ladybug asked in panic.
"Who?"
Ladybug turned around,and saw she was back to back with a boy with as black mullet.
"Wait, who are you?" Ladybug asked.
"I'm Keith," he said. "Who the heck are you?"
"I'm Ladybug, protector of Paris!" Ladybug said.
Suddenly, Chat Noir flew past them and into a wall.
"And that is?" Keith asked.
"Chat Noir, my partner."Ladybug said.
The shadows were advancing on them.
"Hey! Shiro!" Keith called out.
Suddenly, purple light slashed everywhere, and the shadows were gone.
And so was Shadow Doubt.
________________________
"So uh, who are you guys?" Chat Noir asked.
"I'm Keith," Keith said. "This is Shiro and Hunk. We're three of the five paladins paladins of Voltron."
"Voltron?" Ladybug asked.
"Defender of the universe. But we saved the universe, so your good." Hunk said.
"Wait, three?" Chat asked.
"Yeah, we think our friend, Lance, was turned into that shadow thing somehow. And he did something to our other friend, Pidge."
"Oh," Ladybug and Chat gasped. "You must be new here,"
"Ok, what happened to your friend is that he was akumatized." Chat said.
"What?" Keith asked.
"You see, there's this mega baddie on the loose, name HawkMoth." Ladybug explained. "He takes advantage of people's negative emotions and uses them turn them into supervillains! The only way to get your friend back is to break the item where the akuma is."
"Well let's go find him!" Hunk said.
"No, its too dangerous." Chat said.
"Kiddo, we were in space fighting aliens. We know danger." Shiro said.

Shadow Doubt went from person to person of Paris, surrounding them in a puddle of doubt.
"Lance stop!"
Shadow doubt turned around. He saw team Voltron and two others in costumes.
This must be the superheros Hawkoth told me about....Lance thought.
He pointed at the two in the costumes.
"Before I make you truly feel pain, I want your miraculous!" Shadow doubt shouted.
"Lance, we know your better than this!" Shiro shouted.
"No, I'm really not," Lance growled. "I mean, that's what you've always told me."
Everyone looked confused.
"Well, that's not important anymore." Shadow Doubt said. "It's time for you to feel true misery!"
Lance disappeared into the ground. Shadows started to close in on the ground and eerie laughter filled the air.
"Lance, just let us help you!" Hunk cried out.
Shadow Doubt's hand reached out of the ground, and Hunk jumped back before it could touch him.
"Where's the akuma?" Ladybug asked.
"There!" Keith pointed to a small postcard floating in the blackness.
Ladybug threw her yoyo up in the air. "LUCKY CHARM!" she called out.
A flashlight appeared in the air, and landed in her hands. Ladybug looked around, and her eyes lit up.
"I got it!" she cheered. "Yo Voltron guys! See that hardware store! Go get some mirrors from in there! Chat Noir, fight off Shadow doubt!"
"On it!" all the boys said.
A second later, the voltron team ran out of the store with mirrors.
"What do you want with these?!" Keith shouted out.
"Put them all around! Then stand back!" Ladybug shouted.
The boys put the mirrors all around Shadow doubt, and then Ladybug shinned the flashlight on one of them. Light his the shadows from all direction. He screamed and fell to the ground, slowly vanishing, Only the postcard was left.
"Chat Noir! Now!" Ladybug yelled.
Chat Noir ripped the paper in half, and the akuma flew out of it.
Ladybug purified the akuma, and everything went back to normal. Shadow Doubt transformed back into Lance.
Lance groaned in pain. "Aw, what happened?" he asked, rubbing his head. "Where am I?"
Voltron was about to run up to him, when Ladybug stopped them. "Can I have a second with him?"
"Um, sure." Shriro said.
Ladybug knelt down next to Lance. She calmly explained what had happened to him.
"Do you know what might have triggered you?" Ladybug asked.
"Well, my friends kinda make me feel useless." lance said. "But its not their fault. I really am useless."
"That's not true," Ladybug said. "I bet your a wonderful person. And I'm sure they think so too."
______________________________
The rest of the trip, Lance refused to talk or make eye-contact with his team. He felt so guilty! What Ladybug said stuck with Lance.
Do they really think that?
Well, they would have to prove it.
THE END
