The Pink Paladin of Voltron

Return to the Gladiator

"Great job training today, guys. We're getting the hang of Voltron," Shiro praised. All the Paladins except Pidge walked into the dining room and Olivia was following behind. "Seriously, how far do you think my lion kicked that broken alien ship?" Lance asked, Keith and him stopping when Hunk and Shiro kept going. "Must have been like a mile!" Keith crossed his arms replying sarcastically, "Yeah, that'll come in handy when the Galra challenges Voltron to a soccer match." "Hey, I did something cool and you can't handle it. I get it," Lance said, looking to the side with a smirk at Keith. Olivia pushed her arms against their chest to separate the two.

"Your kick ruined our balance... We fell and it was hard for me to keep Voltron steady and flying," Olivia stated, furrowing her eyebrows at Lance in a bit angry, "And I wouldn't be talking, Keith, you kept on trying to punch everything." "Whatever half head," a retort coming from Keith because Olivia has a faux undercut.

I hate that name!

Then, the three walked forward to the dining table. "That falling part was Hunk's fault," Lance hissed trying to keep the conversation on track. "Hey!" Hunk whined, taking his helmet off. "All right, save your energy for fighting Zarkon," Shiro sighed, sitting in a chair and the doors opened. Olivia took off her pink helmet and it felt so nice for her hair not to be cramped. Coran stepped inside. "Hello, guys, and lady! How was the Voltron work out?" Coran asked, walking in with a dish covered. "We're making progress," Olivia answered.

"Are you and Allura almost done fixing the Castle so we can leave this planet?" Shiro asked. Coran stood at the table, "I feel like we're sitting ducks here on Arus." "Just about. In the meantime, to get your minds off those ducks seats you're worried about, I made you guys authentic ancient paladin lunch," Coran said, placing the dish on the table then revealing what's inside. Males and female groaned, Olivia covered her mouth. "Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo and now you're switching it up?" Hunk asked, looking at Coran. "This is packed with nutrients," Coran added, creasing his eyebrows. "I don't think this is a healing herb," Olivia groaned, her voice was muffled. "We don't know any healing herbs," Coran answered. Hunk leaned towards the food, taking in the smell, "Oh, it smells disgusting!" "I know! That's how you know it's healthy!" Coran said, taking in the smell too. Lance held his nose and Keith making a disgusted face. "Coran, we're on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices, and whatever this thing is," Hunk explained. He was holding a plant in his hand, "A tuber? Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm going to head back to the kitchen and spice things up." Hunk disappeared walking to the kitchen. Olivia sat down, sitting across from the Keith and Lance.

Suddenly three cups of delicious alien food appeared. "Thanks, Hunk! I'm starving!" Olivia yelled, she was starving from training in the training deck all night. When she was about to grab one Keith and Lance wolfed the three cups. Olivia stood up next to Hunk with a frown on her face. He secretly gave her one, but it was bigger and smelled amazing. She sat down slowly eating hers, seeing Keith and Lance eat fast while Allura walked in.

"They like the paladin lunch!" Allura said, watching Lance and Keith devour the food. "I don't want to talk about it," Coran said, holding his head up and his arms crossed. "I just got the final nebulon booster working," Allura smiling at Coran, "We should be able to leave Planet Arus tomorrow and take the fight to Zarkon." Olivia was finished with her cup, looking up hearing the alarms beeping and blaring. Red lights flashing. Allura swiped her hand, a holographic screen showing the bridge with a small creature trying to be stealthy.

"What is that?" Keith asked. "I don't know what it is. Maybe it's a local Arusian," Allura confessed. They were staring at the screen. The Arusian had horns and a sharp looking spear. It kept running to hide behind another branch. "He's approaching the castle," Allura said. "Aw!" Hunk awed, he was staring at the creature with a wide smile. "Doesn't look too dangerous," Lance stated, he shrugged his shoulders. "It's actually pretty adorable," Olivia said. "You never know," Keith said, his bayard appearing in his hand. "No. Alteans believe in peace first. Let's go welcome them," Allura creased her eyebrows then turning her back on everyone as she walked towards the doors.
