Voltron Next Generation

Bonding

A/N   Hey so somehow Wattpad deleted this chapter, or some of it or whatever, anyway here it is back to normal, that was kinda weird sorry guys

Shiro rushed forward and enveloped his son in a hug, Allura not far behind.

"Kairos, I'm sorry for telling you to stay away." I heard him mumble.

"It's ok dad, really." He said, his eye shining with pride and determination. "I know you were just trying to protect me," Kairos glanced at me "and you wanted to give the rest of the universe a chance,"

"But the black lion chose you." Shiro finished for him.

Shiro's eyes twinkled as his wife spoke, "Now that we have the team together, or next priority is to form Voltron."

Shiro looked at the five of us "I want each of you to talk to your mentors, we'll meet on the bridge in 1 varga, it's about time you bond with your lions."

Keith put a guiding hand on my shoulder and lead me from the hangar "Seeing as I piloted red longer than Lance I'll be mentoring you primarily," he said.

"Didn't you also pilot the black lion though?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not about to come in between a father teaching his son," he said with a smile. "Especially not someone as scary as Shiro."

I laughed as we entered a room, it was a big rectangular hall with tall walls and a control room looking down on it. "This is the training deck," Keith explained, "You're probably going to end up spending a lot of time in here."

"Cool."

"Now," he said facing me directly "What we really need to discuss is your new lion." I nodded.

"Red is the most temperamental lion, but she's the most passionate, and the fastest, and it's harder to bond with her because you have to earn her trust. When I tried to board her the first time, she wouldn't let me in, I had to fight a bunch of galra soldiers and get sucked out of an airlock for her to let me pilot." Keith grinned "I was actually a little concerned that Red wouldn't take anyone with the whole system Shiro and Allura figured out."

"Well, actually, my mother was there and she found us in the crowd, and all I remember was thinking that no matter what I had to keep Levi safe from her. That's when Red appeared behind me and urged me aboard, and so I took my brother and ran."

Keith smiled sadly at me and nodded. "I see why Red chose you then. You have fire in you, and a fierce loyalty. I think you're a great fit for this team. And remember Genesis, if you ever need anything, you know you can always come to me, that's what I'm here for."

I nodded "Thank you, Keith."

Keith held his hand out and something materialized in it. "I also have the pleasure to pass this down to you, the Red Bayard. It belonged to the first Red Paladin before me, King Alfor, then Lance, then me again," I smiled "and now I'm giving it to you, it's rightfully yours. It will take a unique shape with you, and it will be your weapon in and outside of your lion. Hopefully, soon you'll know what I mean." he smiled.

I took the Bayard from him and held it away from both of us. I kind of urged it forward and suddenly a long sword sprang from the handle I held.

It reminded me of some of the medieval swords I'd seen in old history books. It was thin and elegant but not at all like a fencing sword. It had girth to it and it just felt powerful in my hand. The blade itself was the same cool gray as most of the handle, but the edge all around it glowed and hummed with a red intensity.
