Chapter 31: Drazil

"Alright, Lance I need you to tell me everything you remember from your fight against this Robeast," Keith demanded as he picked up Blue from within the Red Lion, "Lance?"

"I'm thinking," Lance hissed out in return, ignoring how Keith muttered 'That's new', "The Robeast's name is Drazil, and it's made using alchemy and an alien lizard." Lance started, rubbing his eyes, sighing.

"It has a name?" Came Pidge's voice over the comm

"Yeah, it made it easier to distinguish between them," Lance replied, before going quiet, connecting with Blue in order to get into the files he knows he has saved, "Drazil is a long ranged fighter, it's covered in eyes and wicked fast,"

"These don't sound like good things, why couldn't the Robeast be filled with space candy, or empty! Empty works!" Hunk rambled, sounding panicked.

"It's not a piñata Hunk," Lance replied dryly, "The eyes all fire a laser so it can hit multiple people at once, but can also converge these lasers together to form one big laser that is stronger than Voltron's shield, at least at the power level we are now," Lance explained moving to leave Red, waving Keith off as he moved to help Lance, "Get back out there, I'll stay on the comms," Lance muttered, before quickly making his way towards the Bridge.

"Weaknesses, Lance. How did you win?"

"We didn't." Lance stated, moving to his seat as the Castle took off, leaving the Lions closer to the ground while they provided air support

"What?!" Came the collected shout, even Allura and Coran seemed concerned.

"Allura performed the ceremony while we fought," Lance continued ignoring the worried mutters coming from his teammates, "The Balmera then covered Drazil in a giant crystal, but in the future like a year later we fought him again."

"Did you win then?"

"Yeah, we did, Keith, have some faith."

"Great, how?" Keith replied quickly, Lance gave a quick reply of 'give me a minute' before connecting with Blue once more, seeing through his lion's eyes as he joined the fight, providing long-rang support as he combed through all of the mission reports labelled 'Robeast'

"Lance I told you to stay in the Castle! You are in no condition to fight!" Shiro shouted, when he turned to face the Lion who just saved him from a blast, before refocusing back on the fight.

"I am in the Castle!" Lance replied indignantly, "Even ask Coran!"

"I can confirm Number 1, Lance is sat with us in the Castle," Coran backed up before Shiro had a chance to ask.

"Then how?" Lance wanted to laugh at the groan that came over the comm, as Shiro tried to figure out the enigma that was the Lions.

"Magic," Lance snorted, "But in all seriousness I just have a strong bond with Blue, I can do this with Red as well, but obviously don't need to because Keith is there piloting." Lance rambled, "Ah Ha! Found it!" The sounds of fighting grew, as did the shaking as the Castle repeatedly got hit by the stay lasers from the Robeast, the others went silent aside from the occasional groan of pain as Lance read through the report, "Fuck...." Lance moaned belatedly.

"What's wrong Lance?"

"T- That doesn't sound good."

"Pidge was the main component in Drazil's defeat>" Lance replied with a hefty sigh, closing out of the files and focusing more on the battle.

"And that's a problem how?" Keith asked

"Yeah, I'm right here!" Pidge added on.

"The problem is Pidge hasn't developed the skill or bonded enough with Green to be able to do what is needed to defeat Drazil," Lance stated, sounding older than he looked. The collective 'Oh' made Lance want to face palm.
