The Pink Paladin of Voltron

Stayin Alive

Allura sat in the control room while the mice were in front of her. "All right then, what's the next one?" She asked, the mice squeaked, "Two words. Second word. Waves?" The mice gave her a hint she was close. "So I'm close. Ocean? Splash? Drink? Water?" Allura named anything that had to do with water. The mice began squeaking meaning it was water. "Water! All right then. First word," Allura said. The mice stacked on each other moving their arms and tails. The growled like another animal. "That's a Bytor! Bytor water! Yes!" Allura said in laughter as the mice had joyful squeaks, "Hunk was right. These Earth road trip games do help pass the time." Something beeped showing Coran on a holographic screen.

"How are you, Princess? Are you almost at the Balmera?" Coran asked, Allura stood up. "I'm scheduled to arrive in just a few doboshes. I hope I'm able to find a crystal big enough for the teludav," Allura said. "Have you heard from the other Paladins?" asked Coran. "I had contact with Lance, Shiro and Pidge a little bit ago. They've located Slav. Olivia has the information we need of how to stop the central command," Allura explained. Coran asked, "What about Hunk and and Keith?" "No word from them yet," Allura said. "I have no doubt my scientifically accurate instructional video was of great help," Coran said in pride. "I'm sure it was. If they collect enough scaultrite for the lenses, will your teludav structure be complete? It's nearly done," Allura explained. "The Olkari and I have been working on it day and night. It will be ready in time," Coran said. Allura sighed, "Oh, I hope so." "What's going on, Princess? You sound worried," Coran asked. "I was thinking of my father. He gave his life to try to keep Voltron out of Zarkon's hands and now we have a chance to defeat him. I-I don't want to fail," Allura said, sadness in her voice.

"You know Princess, your father would be proud of you. It wasn't that long ago we found out Altea had been destroyed," Coran tried to make her feel better. "I've never felt so alone," Allura said falling to her knees. Coran agreed, "Nor have I. And we could have easily given up. But we didn't. You didn't. And now look at us. We reformed Voltron. We freed the Olkari and the Balmerans, and now they're working alongside us." "You're right, Coran. We have allies. And that's what's going to defeat Zarkon," Allura got up in pride. "Crack a squizzle on the Balmera, Princess," Coran said. "Thank you, Coran." The chat was over and Allura had finally arrived at the Balmera.

The Castle of Lions arrived on the planet. All the Balmerians were looking at the pod that came down. "The Balmera welcomes your return, Princess Allura," Shay's grandmother greeted her. "Princess, did Hunk accompany you?" Shay asked. "I'm sorry, Shay, but I've come alone. The others are on missions of their own, collecting important elements that we need to defeat Zarkon," The Princess explained. "Defeat Zarkon? How can we help? The Balmera and its people can never thank you enough for all that you've done," Shay's grandmother asked. "If the Balmera will give it, I need a crystal," Allura said. Shay asked, "Battleship class?" "Bigger," Allura responded.

~Time Skip~

Allura said in amazement, "Incredible." She was looking at a giant crystal. "When the Galra were here, these caverns were closed off. As if the Balmera was protecting itself. Now that the Balmera is free and healed, the crystal caverns are opened once more," Shay explained. Allura and the Balmerians did the ceremony that they did the last time they came. During the ceremony the caverns started rummbling. "Of what was that rumble? Perhaps because a crystal this big has never been asked for," Shay asked her grandma. "No, this is something different," Her grandma reassured her. "Shall we stop the ceremony?" Shay asked. Her grandmother said, "Let her finish." "Thank you," Allura said, when the ceremony was over to the Balmera.
