"Are you done yet?"

"Maybe."

"Thanks, that was very helpful." 

"Stop being sarcastic," Allura shot a glare in her brother's direction.  "I'm almost done."
She could see Zanya lying on the floor from the corner of her eye, and she scoffed at his bored behavior. "If you're so bored, why did you ask to come with me? You could've just gone with the Paladins and watched them train, but you insisted on coming with me to help with repairs. You don't even know how to do this kind of stuff!"

"I don't really know," Zanya admitted, "I guess I just wanted to spend time with you." Allura laughed, a sly grin forming on her face.

"Maybe you wanted some love advice?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Your face tells me otherwise."

"Fine, maybe a little love advice."

Shiro, who had just comfortably sat in a chair at the dinning table, jumped out of that chair at the sound of the castle's alarm. To his left, Lance and Keith both stopped eating and looked around with surprise.

"What's going on?" Lance stood as Coran entered the room.

"Paladins, come quickly," Coran looked distressed, "the castle's security sensors caught something moving around outside!"

"Awwwww~ it's so cute!"  Hunk cooed at the small creature that had appeared on the screen.  "What is it, though?"

"I'm not sure," Allura said, "maybe it's one of the natives of this planet. I suggest that we go outside and confront it."

"Wait," Pidge countered, "what about the Galra prisoners that we rescued? We need to question them when they wake up!"

"Fine, then how about you and Shiro go question the prisoners while Coran, Lance, Hunk, Keith and I go talk to the native." Allura cast a mischievous look at her brother, then continued. "Zanya, who would you like to go with?"

The Prince glared at his sister, his cheeks tinted red. "I guess I'll go with Shiro, if that's ok," he sighed. Allura grinned, then began to leave with her group to go outside.

"Hey, look," Pidge's face lit up as he entered the large room, "one of them is waking up!" The boy quickly rushed over to help up the tall alien, who was sitting on the floor.  Zanya recognized to alien from when he and the Paladins had rescued Sendak's prisoners.  The strange being looked much healthier than the last time they met.

"It's you," the grey-skinned alien pointed at Shiro, their eyes widening, "the champion!"

"What?"  Zanya watched as Shiro's face contorted to express multiple emotions at once.  The Black Paladin racked his brain for any memories of being called "The Champion" at any point in his life, but his memory was still blurry.  He could barely remember being a prisoner of the Galra at all.

The alien's face fell.  "You don't remember?"  They spoke in a quiet voice.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember much of anything." 

"I guess I'll need to refresh your memory, then.  Refresh your memory on how you became the top gladiator, and how you triumphed over Mizak."

~🔹~

"Hurry up, guys," Pidge yelled as he ran through the remains of Sendak's ship, "I need to find out where my brother is!"

The alien had told Shiro, Zanya, and Pidge the story of how the head of Voltron had attacked Matt Holt and claimed victory over the Galran's deadliest gladiator, Mizak.  The grey-skinned being had also shared with them an idea: Sendak's ship, which crashed on the planet, might have data logs of prisoners.  If they find Matt in the logs, the computer might tell you his current location.

Zanya ran between Shiro and Pidge as they made their way through the ship.  The two humans weren't on the best terms, Pidge being upset at the fact that Shiro attacked Matt, and Shiro upset at the fact that he didn't remember anything.  Zanya hoped to keep the peace by using himself as a buffer between them.

All three of them stopped before a large computer, which seemed to still be operational. Pidge quickly started typing, his fingers gliding across the keyboard.

"Uh oh," the Green Paladin spoke, "I need something to gain access to the files." Before Zanya could even come up with an idea, Shiro stepped next to Pidge and placed his robotic hand on the large screen.

"Um, what are you-" Pidge gasped as he suddenly had access to the Galran files. "How did you do that?"

Shiro looked at his hand in deep thought, not knowing the answer. Zanya watched as Pidge began to download the files, a determined look on the human's face. Shiro was the first to speak again.

"We have to go, now!" Shiro yelled, his head tilted toward the sky.

"Wait," Pidge was furiously typing, "I'm not done downloading! I need to find out what happened to my family!"

"Shiro, what's wrong?" Zanya stepped forward, "Are you alright?"

"Sorry, Pidge!" Shiro grabbed both Pidge and Zanya at the same time and sprinted for the exit. Ignoring the protests from the two others, he used his jet pack to propel himself further.

"Hey, what's that coming towards us?"
