Space Ghosts

Chapter 2

Hunk's POV

Why are we continuing? Didnt they hear what that message said?!

"I thought we were all nodding in agreement that we werent continuing?" I said nervously.

"We are the defenders of the universe! We need to help them Hunk! It might even increase our chances of becoming allies!" Allura said.

"If the empire hasnt been able to conquer them, then how powerful is this criminal for them to be so worried about him escaping?!" I yelled.

"I might have an idea as to who this criminal is. If he is anything like the rumors Ive heard about him, then we will need to be careful." Lotor said.

This gets scarier every tick that goes by.

Allura created a worm hole and we appeared before a planet. "As we flew closer to the planet Lance asked, Is this the place?"

"This is where the king and the high council should be. We might be able to meet them and get some answers as well as possible allies." Lotor replied.

We landed and saw a castle along with a town nearby and headed towards said castle to meet with the political rulers of the Ghost Zone. As we neared the town, loud screams were heard from several directions. Many citizens seemed to be injured, and there was destruction throughout the town.

"We need to help them! Lets split up and aid as many as we can! Also, try to gather information as to what happened." Allura said.

We all split up into pairs, and began helping civilians. I ended up with Lance, Lotor went with Allura, and Pidge with Shiro. Making our way closer to the castle, we noticed there were more injured civilians and there was even more damage. Lance tried asking people what happened but they were either too frightened to respond or just straight up refused to answer.

Then I saw some guy with white hair talking to a girl wearing a lot of black and a darker skinned boy wearing a yellow sweater, green pants, glasses, and a red cap. They looked almost human.

Wait. Could they be human?

Lance and I ran over to them hoping to get some answers.

"Hey, do you know what happened here?" I asked.

The girl and the other guy looked at us curiously, while the whitenette slowly turned around and faced us and we finally got a look at his face. He looked to be a few years older than us, despite his hair being snow white. He was about as tall as Shiro, so we both had to look up at him a bit. He was also wearing a strange white and black jumpsuit underneath a cloud gray cloak. He seemed to be exhausted from what looked like a serious battle with someone Could he have fought that criminal? He seemed to have bright green liquid flowing from his head as well as other parts of him. Is that his blood? Maybe they arent human like I thought

"I dont believe Ive seen you here before. Who are you?" The whitenette asked calmly.

He stared at us inquisitively, a slight frown upon his features. I could tell he was trying to see if we were a threat by the calculating look in his glowing green eyes.

"Im lance and this is Hunk! We are two of the Paladins of Voltron!" Lance replied

The ghosts eyes immediately lit up, seeming to be even brighter than they were before. They were those of a child who has just walked into a candy store I guess he must be a fan of Voltron.

"You are Paladins of Voltron?!" He asked excitedly.

"Yup! Im the yellow paladin and Lance here is the red paladin."

Thats so cool Ive always wanted to meet the Paladin-! He was cut off when the girl nudged him with her elbow. He seemed to regain his calm and collected look.

Pardon me, I havent introduced myself yet. He said while he rubbed the back of his neck, My name is Danny! Umm I mean no offense by this, but why exactly are you here? He asked.

Well we were hoping the ghost zone would join the Voltron Alliance. But when we arrived & saw the state it was in, we decided to try and help here. I told him. It seems there is a lot of damage to be repaired.

As I said this I realized Lance had been extremely quiet. I looked over to him. He seemed to be staring at someone, eyes wide with awe. His jaw was slightly slacked and a bright red blush ran across his tanned face. I raised an eyebrow at this and followed his line of sight and saw that he was staring at... Danny?

Before I could mention anything, his demeanor suddenly shifted to one of confidence. His eyes began to sparkle, and his mouth turned into a flirtatious smirk. Oh no! I know that face! He wouldnt!...

"Are you a ghost? Because I see you being my boo!"

Yup, he would...

Instead of seeming insulted, Danny just stared at him and blinked. Then he burst out laughing as his face began to turn green. Lance looked at him concerned. Worried as to what was happening, Lance started to panic. Well if that green liquid was his blood then I guess it would make sense that his face would turn green instead of red.

"Hey man, are you okay? Was it that bad?!" He took a step forward.

Danny slowly calmed down, his laughter ceasing. After he had finished composing himself, he said,

"Im fine! Your pun was just so funny I had to la- "

He was cut off by a very annoying, pretentious voice.

"THERE YOU ARE!"

Lance and I jumped and whipped around to see a one-eyed green blob in some weird white and gold robe and a black cloak. His hands were slim and grotesque, with long claws protruding from the fingers. Danny groaned and rolled his eyes, but the green thing didnt seem to notice. Behind him stood Lotor and the rest of the paladins.

Lance leaned towards Danny and whispered rather loudly, "Whos the funny looking cyclops? Do you know him?"

Danny began to snicker, then seemed to have thought better of it, and stopped. The blob didnt show any expression, but by the aura around us, I could tell he was obviously insulted. He pushed passed Lance and I to Danny.

"I have been looking for you all over, My King. "

"Sorry!" He said rubbing the back of his neck, "I needed to see how everyone was holding up after the attack."

"I also heard that two young men clad in blue and yellow armor were being disrespectful towards you." He said while he glanced towards us.

We both swallowed nervously. I noticed that the girl and the other guy slowly backed away and made their escape.

"Another thing, you shouldnt have run off like that during a time like this! Nor should you have to deal with nuisances such as these two! Especially after being severely injured!!" He practically yelled.

"I am fine Observant! They have not done me any harm." He assured. "The only one bothering me is you." He mumbled.

He turned and began to walk away mumbling

"So childish... Shouldnt have been allowed to be..."

Danny looked at the rest of us while shuffling his feet.

"Sorry about that hes" he paused. "Well lets just say he can be a bit of a handful."

We all began to laugh nervously.

Allura stepped forward and held put her hand for Danny to shake.

"I am princess Allura of Altea, and the paladin of the blue lion. I hope we can be of some help here."

Sorry this took so long, we were busy so we couldn't do much in this chapter for a while. 😅
