Return of the Gladiator

Third P.O.V
At the Galra's Central Command, dark purple electricity flickered around a black orb that was being created from a cannon-like laser. The orb charged up, the orb grew bigger and the electricity grew stronger before shooting straight down onto the middle of the pentagon-shaped platform.

Five Druids stood on each corner of the pentagon-shaped platform. Zarkon kneeled in the middle of the large platform absorbing quintessence as Haggar watched, standing next to the Druid on the first point of the pentagon-shaped platform. The beam died and short sparks of electricity flowed across Zarkon's armor. He opened his eyes and they glowed a bright neon purple.

"Sire, the beast is almost to Arus," Haggar informed Zarkon as he got to his feet.

"This quintessence gives me so much power, I could fight the Paladins myself," Zarkon said, glancing at his arms. Purple electricity sparked as he formed his hands into fists.

"There is no need. My creature will destroy them and capture the Voltron Lions for you. Then, the most powerful weapon in the universe will be ours."

~Out in space~

A large ship containing the creature that Haggar created headed to Arus.

~The Castle of Lions~

"Great job training today, guys. We're really getting the hang of Voltron." Shiro praised, the Paladins except Pidge walking into the dining hall. "Seriously, how far do you think my lion kicked that broken alien ship? Must have been like a mile!" Lance said, stopping in his tracks with Keith and crossing his arms. "Yeah, that'll come in handy when the Galra challenges Voltron to a soccer match," Keith replied sarcastically. "Hey, I did something cool and you can't handle it. I get it." Lance said, looking to the side, smirking at Keith.

"Your kick ruined our balance. We fell." Keith stated, walking to the dining table. "Well, that falling part was Hunk's fault." Lance hissed, as Hunk and Shiro sat at the table. "Hey!" Hunk whined, taking off his helmet. "All right, save your energy for fighting Zarkon." Shiro sighed, leaning back into his chair. The doors opened, and Coran stepped out.

"Hello, guys! How was the Voltron workout?" Coran asked, walking with a plate that was covered with a cloche. "We're getting there. Are you and Allura almost done fixing the Castle so we can leave this planet? I feel like we're sitting ducks here on Arus." Shiro asked, sitting up and Coran stood at the table.

"Just about. In the meantime, to get your minds off those duck seats you're worried about, I made you guys an authentic ancient paladin lunch!" Coran said, placing the plate on the table. Hunk's eyes widened with a goofy smile creeping up his face. Hunk had a small droplet of drool forming at the corner of his mouth. Coran removed the cloche to reveal what was inside. The four Paladins groaned in disgust. Lance held his nose and Keith made a disgusted face.

"Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo and now you're switching it up?" Hunk questioned, looking at Coran. "This is packed with nutrients," Coran added, creasing his eyebrows. Hunk got up from his seat, leaned towards the alien dish, and took a sniff. "Oh, it smells disgusting!" Hunk groaned. "I know! That's how you know it's healthy!" Coran stated, taking in the smell.

"Coran, we're on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices, and... whatever this thing is. A tuber?" Hunk explained, holding a plant in his hand. While, Hunk was explaining to Coran, Lance and Keith walked over and sat down at the table. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head back to the kitchen and spice things up." Hunk smiled, walking to the kitchen.

"Where's Pidge and Peter?" Shiro asked, looking at Coran. Coran with a fork in hand started eating the alien dish. "Their probably checking on those prisoners we rescued from Zarkon. They'll all be waking soon in the infirmary." Coran told Shiro with a mouthful of food. Shiro closed his eyes before standing up from his seat and Coran put a fork in front of Shiro's face with the food Coran made for the paladins. Shiro jumped back, startled clearly not expecting Coran to shove alien food in his face.
