Voltron: Colored Lights

Ch 4: "Colored Lights"

I woke up, my head throbbing. Lights spinning. So on... and still in pain, especially my throat. I didn't open my eyes, I wasn't in the same room. I could feel it. I heard footsteps, I moved my arm a little and I felt and I.V... medical room? I felt the sheets and they were soft. The mattress even more so. I'm not sure whether they have found out I'm awake... If they have, that ruins my plan, if they haven't... great!

    I strain my ears to listen to the conversation. I've been hearing it since I woke up it's just gotten louder now.

    "She hasn't discovered it yet, there's no guarantees that she won't in the near future though." A male voice said. What haven't I discovered? I heard footsteps towards the bed I was laying on. Slow, creepy footsteps. I made sure my eyes were shut tightly, but not too tight, as to give away my fake sleeping. "Her quintessence is like no other, Altain and Galra. And the fact she has the same biological difference that allows the druids to do the things they do. She is powerful and if she discovers her power she'll-" the scientist went on but he was cut short by another voice... Zarkon.

    "I know what could happen... that's why I have my greatest technicians developing a dampener to stop her power." He explained. "That way she can only use them when I deem reasonable Dr. Cheoin." Then his steps faded away till both of the voices were gone. I think I might be unattended now? I sat up fast and ripped the I.V out of my arm. It bled and I looked around the room. No one. As I suspected.

    I stood up and went to the counter, there were different jars with gauze. I grabbed some and put it on my arm, then wrapped it with some bandage. What did he mean? What have I not found? I ran to the door, I hear some footsteps back into the room. I turned it was the doctor. I grabbed a scalpel from the table and he looked startled. He was really young to be a doctor. "Let me go! Don't try to stop me." I said with agitation. He looked from me to the doorway a few times. He had short curly hair, it was purple like most of the Galra.

    "Novaia, calm down. I'm just trying to help you, okay?" He said to me with a soft voice. He was trying to calm me? No, I am not calm, I am freaking out! He walked towards me and I stood there. I was ready to hurt the guy... I don't think he thought I would. I reached out and sliced his arm with the scalpel and ran. He winced in pain, I didn't get him that good. He held his arm and reached for a radio in his pocket, I heard the static coming from it. Down the hallway I went, pink hair flying behind me.

    I wiped the tears from my eyes and my hands burned as I did so. They felt like they were on fire? I continued to run and I looked at my hands, they- they were glowing? About the same color my hair was... Is this what they were talking about? I stopped in my tracks, there were some sentry bots behind me, they had been chasing for a few yards. I turned around and lifted my hands towards them, just to test my theories... Nothing I did it again but they were really close now. They fired and I sunk to the ground. I blocked my face with my forearms.

    I heard there fires but nothing happened. I looked and there wasa light blue shield surrounding me. Is this it? I stood up slowly and the shield grew around me. I let my arms down and it dissipated. My hands still glow though. I swiped my hand at the sentries and they fell apart at the movement of my hand. A streak of light followed my movement across the room. Okay then? I can do that too?

    I ran down the hallways some more till I got to the prison room. The door was still locked and I wasn't sure how to get it open. There was a hand scanner. I put my hand on it and my skin burnt into the door. Mental note number one: Don't touch things while your hands are lite up. The door opened though and I got a startled look from all the paladins. I smiled.

    "Let's not waist time. Come on, you all need to suit up." I said, they ran past me. "We need to regain control of the castle, I'll confront my father. You each take a section of the castle, got it?" I asked them all, they nodded. I smiled and felt good about myself, I helped! That's a first for me.
