Broken Beauty

Falling

"Li...e one... ttl... ne... little one" 

muffled noises from beyond the cryopod told him that a battle waged on around

"little one it's time to get up"

"blu" came the tired reply as Blu chuckled softly the noises of a gunfight coming closer

"My back hurts"

"It has been ten thousand years since Blaytz put you here."

Silence followed for several minutes after muffled howls if pain then...

~hiss~

He fully awoke to the sound of the pod opening and the gasps of many, lights hurting his eyes has he opened them. Staring at the ceiling then shifting his gaze towards a speaker.

"What is your name? How are you in the lion already?" A voice, a man spoke with authority

He pulled himself up into a sitting position still dizzy until he remembered why, he wouldn't tell until he knew he was safe but...

"My name is Lance, though may I ask where am I?" Lance looked to his right where four people stood watching him.

"Oh yes your inside the blue lion and we are the paladins of Voltron the savior of the universe." The man clasped his hands together in front of himself then unclasping before pointing at each person from left to right

"This is Red paladin Keith..." He stares suspiciously

"Our green paladin Pidge..." They smile

"The yellow paladin Hunk" He waves with a "sup"

Gesturing towards me "Finally, you, most likely the Blue paladin."

I stare at them apprehensively then notice he's not paying attention nodding his head before saying "Yes I got it we have the blue lion and its paladin... yes... okay bringing them over to the castle."

The others move to get off Blu probably returning to the other lions, the man looks at me "I am the black paladin Shiro. Can you fly the lion or do you need a tow?"

Shaking my head "I can fly just give me a moment to stretch it's been... awhile" He nods before leaving himself.

Nobody P.O.V

Lance gets up removing the majority of what's he is wearing to stretch out opening his wings with a soft refreshed moan before groaning "Blu am I going to have to hide my wings from them?"

"Most likely little one I do not sense any others but a couple of other Alteans nearby in the castle" A sigh escapes his lips before putting his armor back on sitting in Blu's pilot chair
"Let's go"

Setting Blu down in the hanger made for her Lance gets out making sure his wings are comfy for the time. Walking into the main area were navigation sits Shiro introduced the Alteans Lance eyes widening slightly before returning to his aloof look
"This is Coran and Princess Allura" 

Allura looks up and smiles "Welcome paladin of the Blue lion to the Castle of Lions Voltrons home base and the paladins home"

~Time skip brought to you by Lotor~

One Year Later

Lances P.O.V

Battle after Battle, success time an time again, yet I Lance of the Blue Lion felt no closer to the team The Paladins of Voltron. Even Blu my lion companion seemed to be closing off to me no longer talking to me beyond one worded answers it hurt, she my only friend and connection to my past. The princess no longer listened to me after my attempts to persuade her that allying with Prince Lotor was a good idea instead I get shunned to the corner out of view for when he attempts again. The yelling and scolding for this and the physical and emotional abuse for that, even when I did something right they found something to bicker about.

"Lance focus!" Shiro yelled for the umptieth time that hour alone.

"Come on already even Pidge could do this better than you!" Hunk yelled Keith mumbled something along the lines of 'losers need to leave'

~A few Minutes later~

I finally beat level 39 in training though no congrats only more yelling about how I need to be quicker. I walk off without a word to get possibly some food and rest when the alarms blare "sigh" and leave my attempts for food my stomach growling at me for the lack of fullness and to go to the control room mere feet behind Hunk.

"Your late again Lance." Allura said practically spitting venom at me

I shrug not even in the mood to pretend I care anymore shifting in a way to make my wings comfortable feeling slight pain from my training I stand there silently waiting for their plans.

~Time skip again brought by a noob author~

"RETREAT" Shiro shouts over the coms breaking my concentration on the fight with four Galras before me dodging and blocking when

"AAAHHHH" I cry out when one of the Galra soldiers stabs me in the gut. I collapse to the floor dots spreading across my vision and grabbing my side tightly letting go of my weapon returning it to its original form. They run off smirking probably thinking I'm going to bleed out.

"Hey... Guys...I need hel~" I breathed out painfully

"Retreat Lance, It's a simple order" Pidge angrily says "But~" the was cut off harsh in tone as usual

"Just shut up and retreat Lance" Allura raising her voice at me "Yes Princess" I say after a moment and barely manage to get up off the floor blood tracking behind me. I make it back to Blu only to see her shield is up and silent more then ever before. I ask and beg her to let me in leaving a bloody handprint on her shield before giving up an going to the escape pods. I throw my helmet off tossing it aside into a puddle of my own blood too quiet the yelling of other paladins complaining that I'm taking forever. Sucking in a painfully shaky breath I make it finally to the docks no galra insight.

Getting into the nearest escape pod and stare my galra rusty having not used it in ten thousand years. Trial and error I get the pod to unclasp from its confinements, passing out as the pod lurches forward into the unknown and towards a random planet of frozen origin.                               ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
