The Altean Prince

Waking Up

I stumbled out of my pod in a bit of a daze. I felt warm arms help steady me. "Woah, are you ok?" "Y-yeah, thank you." Looking up, I saw a male with black hair and purple eyes was the one who helped me. "How come I got attacked while you got thanked?!" Another voice complained. It came from another male with brown hair. There were three other strangers with them, and my sister, who was by the controls. "Hello, I'm Prince (M/N) from Altea. Nice to meet you all." I smiled at them. Before anyone else could do or say anything, however, Coran got out of his pod and gasped. "Enemy combatants!" He jumped at the brown-haired male who complained earlier, but the male easily dodged him. "Quiznak! You're lucky I have a case of the old 'sleep chamber knees'. Otherwise, I'd grab your head like this and wrap you up like so- one, two, three- sleepy time!" "Well, before you did that, I'd-" The other male did a ridiculous move, as if he was imitating (rather poorly) an attack. "Like that." He and Coran went back and forth for a bit. I just watched in mild amusement. "Man, these guys are good." Another male, heavier set than the rest but with a kinder face, said. I don't know whether he was being sarcastic or serious... "It can't be..." I looked over at my sister, who was still facing the control panel. "Allura?" "What is it?" Coran and I asked at almost the same time. "We've been asleep for 10,000 years!" 10,000 years?! "Planet Altea and all of the planets in our solar system have been destroyed. Coran, (M/N), Father is gone. Our entire civilization... Zarkon." Pure hatred slipped into Allura's voice as she spoke that name. "Zarkon?" The male with black and white hair asked. He's kinda hot... "He was the King of the Galra. A vile creature and enemy to all free people." Allura ranted as I rolled my eyes. She can be so overdramatic sometimes. "I remember now... I was his prisoner." "He's still alive? Impossible!" "I can't explain it, but it's true. He's searching for a super weapon called Voltron." So some things never change, huh? "He's searching for it because he knows it's the only thing that can defeat him, and that's exactly why we must find it before he does." Oh, no. Please don't tell me... "Allura..." But she ignored me. This is not gonna end well, is it?
