Voltron: Castaways

Chapter One: The Road Home

Altea was not far from where Keith was in the old small Galra ship. The light blue planet had many white circles surrounding it like the planet Jupiter with its rings. Except these rings were in different places and appeared to be machine-like. The planet seemed so alive and was the only peaceful-looking thing he'd seen in a long time. 

Keith tapped on the dashboard of the Galra ship. A red see-through screen with Galra writing all over it appeared in front of him. There was Galra text, a circle, and a few lines and mini squares on this screen. Keith pressed on the circle which lit up white. 

"This is Keith of the Blade of Mamora. Does anyone on Altea copy?" Keith said. 

Radio static was only heard, with little voices that came through, but it sounded mostly gibberish to him.

"K-K-Keith?" A somewhat high male voice said. 

Keith bolted up and leaned in closer to the screen. "Hello?"

"Keith, is that you?" The voice said clearly.

"Who am I talking to?" Keith demanded.

"Woah there, mullet! It's me, you buddy Lance!" The voice excitedly stated. 

Keith let out a sigh of relief, followed by a little laugh afterwards. "Oh, Lance, you don't know how happy I am to hear from someone like you."

"Yeah, me too, buddy. It's been such a long time! Where are you?" Lance asked.

"Just outside of Altea," Keith replied. "I need a place to rest and decide how to go on with a problem."

"What problem? Is it going to affect Altea and the universe?" Lance's voice sounded concerned and worried.

"I can't talk about it through our communication right now. Just let me get to Altea and I'll tell you all about it," Keith told him. 

"Sounds like a plan. I'll have a few Alteans greet you at the station. It's easy to spot in the sky," Lance told him.

"Copy that," Keith closed. 

Keith touched the circle again and the screen disappeared. 

A FEW HOURS LATER...

"Lance should be here in a little bit, sir," the Altean teenage girl told Keith. The girl had dark brown wavey, short hair that touched her shoulders. Her eyes were a bright green and she had two Altean c-shaped markings right by the corners of her eyes that were a bright purple. Her tan skin really made her markings pop out. She wore a fancy white sweater and a pair of black pants and shoes that Keith didn't recognize from Earth. 

"Thanks for all the help. You don't know how happy I am to see some friendly faces. What's your name?" Keith asked.

"Luna. I'm originally from Earth, but I moved to Altean because of the space program," Luna told Keith.

"A space program?" Keith seemed intrigued. 

"Yeah. The Galaxy Garrison on Earth was asked by Lance if the Alteans can be involved with them. A man named Shiro was the one who got the deal made. And now there's a program for young space travelers to explore a planet like this and go to different universes because of Alteans that can generate wormholes and do all kinds of research. It's really cool. That's how my parents met and then they raised me on Earth since my dad wanted me to see what Earth was like," Luna explained. 

"I happen to know both Lance and Shiro. Have you ever heard of Voltron?" Keith smiled at Luna 

"Lance tells us all of those stories all the time in class," Luna replied.
