Thing Called Life | Keith X Reader

Wounds

You entered a dark room, once the lights turned on, it revealed six suits of armor, each colored to match the lions.

"In here you'll find your suits of armor," Allura announced. You each individually stepped up to admire your separate pieces of protection. Your armor was strictly white, with a band around the waist that held a light blue gem.

"These are incredible," you whispered to Lance. He nodded his head in excitement.

"Now I must warn you, (Y/N), your armor may need a few switches, seeing as it was never tested out on a paladin before," she warned.

"So, you're saying that her armor may not hold out during a fight?" Pidge intervened.

"That is correct, but the good thing is, it won't just fall apart, it may tear, but it should hold up its own," Allura assured. 

"Well, if you can say (Y/N) is safe, then let's suit up," Shiro insisted. You all looked to his side, before silently agreeing to put on your suits. You were surprised your suit fit you, seeing that you were only slightly taller than Pidge and the suit looked like it was twice your size. You all slipped on your armor with ease, except for Hunk who was having trouble getting it over his slightly larger body. 

As you finished, you noticed the princess placing her hand on a large, flat table. The table opened to reveal four gadgets. They began hovering above the table.

"What are those, Princess?" Hunk questioned.

"These are bayards, the traditional weapons for the paladins of Voltron," the princess inquired. The bayards soon started moving towards their selected paladins, but you soon realized, you and Shiro didn't have any bayards moving towards either of you.

"The bayards take the distinct shape of each of their paladins," Allura recounted. The weapons were a variety of sizes, ranging from Hunk's monster of a blaster, to Keith's sharp, precise sword and shield. Allura soon stepped to you and Shiro.

"Shiro, your bayard was lost with its original paladin, and (Y/N), your bayard is kept within the lion, I'm so sorry," she lamented.

"I'll guess we'll just have to make do," Shiro gave a slight smirk, you nodded in response. Once everyone was ready, you made your way back to the control room, where you needed to get your plan ready.

"You will need to retrieve the red lion, from the center of Sendak's ship," Allura stated, there was a large holograph laid in front of you with a big chunk of it made red to symbolize where the lion laid.

"That ship is pretty big, how am I going to know where to find it?" Keith asked.

"Well, you'll probably be able to feel its presence, like how you felt in the desert," you shrugged. Shiro stepped over to Keith and placed his palm on his shoulder.

"When we get in there, you'll know, here's our plan of attack," Shiro paused and looked over the group, making sure everyone was listening. "The galra know we have both the blue and yellow lion, but they don't know we also have the green lion too. What will happen is Lance and Hunk, you will go in front of the cruiser, pretending to give yourselves up. Once you do that, and Sendak is distracted, the four of us will go in and get aboard the ship. Keith, (Y/N), and I will go in for the red lion, while Pidge makes sure to guard the exiting point, Lance and Hunk, you disassemble that ion cannon," you had all agreed with this course of action, and began on your way to the ship. 

After you had completed step one of the plan, you were instead the cruiser.

"We're in," Pidge assured Lance. Pidge crouched beside the entering point, as the three of you continued to the hallway, you turned to see that Shiro had come to a sudden stop.
