Wren's POV
"Okay, look. I now know for certain that Zarkon is tracking us through the Black Lion. We have to find some way to stop him." Shiro said making us look at him. "How are we gonna do that?" "We've never had this situation before. Two paladins battling for the same lion." Allura said worriedly.
"Well, unless we want Zarkon taking control of Voltron every time we get close." "The way I see it, Shiro must make a new bond with his lion. One that's stronger the his." "Well, while you're working on that, the rest of us need to find some new teludav lenses otherwise we won't be able to travel via wormhole." Coran said making me groan. I did not like where this was going.
"Is that something we have to mail order?" "Does anyone even make those anymore?" "DoubtFul." I said with an annoyed expression. "She's right. Only a few Alteans could use the teludav 10,000 ago. They may not exist anymore." Coran was silent while twirling his mustache. "I think I may know where we can get some."
Coran said pulling up an image of a some sneaky looking crooks and an image of a younger him taking a picture in a merchant like place with a young king Alfor in the back ground smiling at him nervously. "Coran! You're not suggesting going to one of those filthy swap moons! The last time you went, those space pirates took you for everything you had." Allura said with her arms crossed annoyed.
"I don't like this either. My father once said the last time he went there he was nearly kidnapped because he had something shiny around his neck and that he was a golden Fay." I said adding to Allura disagreement. "Space pirates?" Lance asked confused.
"The Unilu were traders and pirates that roamed the galaxies and dealt in black market goods. Umvy spice, by-tor water, little bottles of infinity vapor. Of course, you had to bargain. No one could bargain like the Unilu. Last time, I ended up giving away three quarters of my shipment of lango in exchange for a used pogo oscillator." Both Coran and Allura laughed at that memory. "Father was not pleased about that."
"Man Coran, those pirates showed you no mercy." I said with a grin amused. "Well, while Coran is picking up his lenses I'll take you shopping for something sparkly." Lance said flirting with Allura until Coran got in between them. "This isn't shopping! You're not wandering around saying "Oooo What a lovely pink hat! This is so becoming."" Coran said in a girly voice before making an X with his arms. "No! I can't allow Allura to get anywhere near those filthy, lowballing Unilu hoodlums."
"But I'd love something sparkly." Allura said with a smile and sparkles around her face trying to convince Coran but nothing can break his overprotectiveness. "Look, you're the only one who can operate the Castle. You need to be resting, after all you've been through." Coran said walking away as Allura frowned. I knew I was going because I wanted to know how my father got kidnapped but I guess that's what happens when a nine year old is with pirates.
"Now, let's ready a pod for our mission. We need to get in find the scaultrite lenses, and just get out." Coran said know I'm going. "Shotgun!" Lance said running out. "What? No, you have to be in the pod bay to call shotgun." Hunk said following him. "Since when?" "Uhh since forever? That's shotgun etiquette! I wrote the book." Pidge, Coran and Keith followed them as I went up to Shiro.
"Good luck with your bonding. I know you can do it." Shiro smiled and kissed my forehead. "Be careful." "Always am." I said pecking his lips. 'Please be careful Wren.' 'Don't worry Genji. It's just space pirates, how bad can the be?' I said walking out.
