Allura shakes me, bringing me from my thoughts.

"(Y/n), we will discuss this later, but for now let's focus on our mission." I shake my head to snap myself out of my thoughts then look up to her and nod with newfound determination.

We brought the Balmerans to the surface of the mines but as Coran guided the ship down to the planet, it caused tremors that made some of the Balmerans become trapped in the mines.

"The Balmera is weakening every time it gets hit. How's the evacuation coming along?" Hunk asks through the com as I help a Balmera who was climbing up the side of the mine.

"The Balmerans got trapped. Just keep that thing distracted." Coran answers.

"Um, do you want us to distract it by getting ourselves killed? Because that's what's gonna happen!" Hunk cries out as I see them further away, evading the monsters attacks.

"Guys please be careful!" I call out to them while clutching my chest.

"Wait. Why is (Y/n) down there-" Pidge was cut off as Keith rammed into her trying to evade an attack.

"This isn't working! We'll never take this thing down in our lions." Keith exclaims as they get no time to rest and immediately resume evading.

"Well, forming Voltron didn't work either." Pidge retorts while dodging a swing from the monster.

"The only way to beat it is if we had a way to shoot all of those laser beams at once." Lance announces and I get a strange feeling.

I turn back towards the mine and look down at my lion. It's eyes seem to glisten as I look at it and it feels as though it was calling me.

"Guys! Something's happening here. I think my lion is telling me how to beat this thing. Do you remember how Voltron formed that sword with Keith's Bayard? I think my lion is telling me I can do the same with mine." Hunk announces in an unsure voice.

"Well, we have nothing else, so let's try it!" I hear Shiro call out and I inch closer to the edge of the mine.

"Ok! Form thingy!" Hunk yells out and I almost fall in from laughter.

"Wait, it didn't work." Hunk says and I giggle.

"Because we haven't formed Voltron yet!" Shiro groaned and I took a deep breathe.

"Don't worry guys I'll be there in a sec." And with that I just jumped into the, somewhat never ending, pit that was the mine.

I heard Allura yell after me but I was already gone. I held my arms out and it felt like I was flying, but fear soon took over as I neared the ground. I activated my jetpack on my armor and landed gently next to my lion. It quickly stood up, bringing its head down to me, and I quickly climbed inside.

I then flew up out of the mine, surprising Allura and the Balmerans as I hovered over them.

"I'll be back!" I say to them with a wave then press my handles forward towards the beast and my fellow Paladins.

As I grew closer the monster noticed me and began attacking me but I quickly dodged and we joined together. Their lions clicking into place around mine, and we were one being, Voltron.

We landed inbetween the monster and the castle to prevent it from getting any closer. Hunk then yelled out the same phrase from before, accompanied by a giggle from me. The interior of my lion then glowed in a yellow and white as the yellow lion's head appeared on my screen. I hit the button and a huge cannon appeared on Voltron's shoulder.
