TW: Blood

That night we hosted the Arusians to a victory/thanks party. I watched as the Arusian king told the story of Voltron defeating Myzax.

"The monster fell from the sky! It was an epic battle, but Voltron was victorious!" The Arusian King spoke as the 'actors' played it out. On accident the actors playing Myzax knocked out Voltron. "No. I said, 'Voltron was victorious!" He repeated. Quickly the actors changed positions as the Arusians cheered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for that wonderful production. It saddens me that we must leave tomorrow, but we must continue our battle with Zarkon and spread peace throughout the universe." Allura announced, she turned to the King and gave him a gift. It was a distress button really, Allura told him that the Arus would be the first planet in the Voltron Alliance. He shouted and the Arusians cheered. I traveled down the staircase to meet with the Paladins. At least the ones that were here.

"What are you wearing?" Hunk humored me as I tripped over my dresses fabric.

"Allura insisted that I should wear it, I don't think it looks to bad." I smiled at the dress, when I was a kid I always wanted to dress up in a fancy dress like this. It was quite similar to Allura's, except the pattern was slightly different and the dress was an amber. Hunk shook his head as we walked to Keith and Lance.

"We ought to have something like that." Hunk told us.

"Like what?" Lance asked.

"You know, like, a cheer. Like, a team cheer that we do." Hunk smiles. Lance thought about it.

"Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. How about, uh..." Lance paused for a moment. "I say Vol and you say Tron. Vol." he stopped waiting for our intake.

"Uh... Voltron?" Keith somewhat questioned. I smirked at his confusion, this guy had no idea what was going on.

"No! No, no, no. The cheer includes the instructions. I say Vol and you say..." Lance trailed off waiting for Keith to finish.

"Voltron?" Keith asked again. The poor guy looked so confused and Lance looked very unimpressed.

"We'll work on it." Lance told him. I pat Keith on the back, shaking my head. Lance turns to take a sip of his drink and starts looking like he's having a seizure. I freak out as he asks Coran what's in it.

"Oh, this is Nunvill, the nectar of the gods." Coran replied. Lance looked like he was about to puke.

"It tastes like hot dog water and feet." Lance told him. I brought my own up to my nose to smell it. It didn't smell bad, I took a small sip and spit it out. Lance was right this stuff was disgusting.

"Yeah, makes a wonderful hair tonic as well." Coran replied putting some on his mustache. Hunk, Keith, and I examined Lance in his distressed state. Keith poked him and Lance fell over, I grabbed him before his head hit the ground and helped him reach the floor safely. The other two continued to watch in fascination and curiosity.

Lance eventually got up, he looked a lot sadder then before. He got a new drink and looked down at it for awhile.

"I guess we should get used to this space juice. Who knows when we'll get back home again?" He asks Hunk and I.

"Yeah, if ever." Hunk stated what I was thinking.

"What do you mean?" Lance asked him.

"I mean, if this Zarkon guy had been ruling for 10,000 years, how long do you think it will take for us to fix it? You know, if we live." I nodded with what Hunk had said. It was true, who knows if we'll ever see are families again.
