Lance looked at the reports on what the Galra empire had done over the years when they took territory. As he was looking at the information, he saw Shiro and Allura come into his room.
Shiro: Lance, can we talk?
Lance: Yes, Paladin Shiro, is there a problem?
Allura: You are a paladin, too, and Shiro is your leader, so show some respect, Lance.
Lance: Princess, I was a paladin. You wanted me to replace me, remember? Also, I do respect him as a soldier and a great pilot. He also shares the same rank as me, so I have no problem with him, the others, or you.
Shiro: We talked to the other leaders, and they have a mission for you and your brothers.
Lance: What's the ops?
Shiro: We learned that Zarkon has a new weapon, and we lost several ships and territory. We need more resources to hunt this weapon down, but you do so, can you?
Lance: Don't worry, Shiro, we will take care of it, but you will go to the fleet. Anyway, have you found a new paladin for the blue lion?
Shiro: No, we have not, but you should stay as the blue paladin.
Lance: It is for the best because it's hard for me. I have to command the 501st, but until you find a new paladin, I will still pilot the blue lion.
Then Lance leaves as he goes to the hangar. He sees Pidge and her father in the hangar.
Pidge: Captain
Lance: pidge, you don't have to call me captain
Pidge: oh, sorry. anyway, please meet my father, Sam Holt
Lance: it's an honor to meet you, sir.
Sam: No, the honor is all mine, captain. I heard that you and your brothers are the ones who saved me and the others, so thank you. Also, my daughter told me so much about you.
Lance: had she now?
sam: she has
Pidge: Lance, where are you going anyway?
Lance: Well, the rebel's ships and others have been destroyed by an unknown weapon, so they asked us to track it down.
Pidge: Let me come with you.
Lance: No, you are needed here. Voltron needs you,
pidge: and we need you, too...
Lance: pidge, this is just a recon mission with three senators class destroyers.
Pideg: But still, you are my teammate...
Lance: I know, p... Katie, look, I got to go and look when I return, and I will show you how to use our equipment.
Pidge: okay, Lance, be safe.
Lance leaves, and she looks at him as he goes to the transport to return.
Sam: So you have a crush on that man?
Pidge: Dad, it's not like that. I am just worried about him and want him to be safe.
Sam: Whatever you say, sweetie, but I heard your team is looking for a new paladin for the Blue Lion.
Pidge: Yeah, but I don't want that to happen because Lance has been there for me when I was down and helped me look for you and Matt...
Sam: I see, but you care about him, do you?
Pidge blushed when her father asked her that, but she went to show her father the other lions. Lance went to three Venators waiting for him, and they searched for this new weapon. As he got to the bridge, he saw one of Marmora's blades.
