Fiery Energy - Keith X Reader Voltron Legendary Defender

Chapter 7

He had a scowl on his face, totally different in comparison to his relaxed face when he was running. He stopped in his tracks as he tock you in, “What are you doing?”, he asked,

“Looking around”, you replied, he huffed at you.

“We can't be 'looking around when an alien war ship is on it's way right now”, he grumbled, “And I think you weren't 'looking around' but you were actually lost”, He stated. You folded your arms and gave him a stubborn look,

“Oh so you think you know me already. We haven't said a few words to each other. So stop thinking you do”, you retorted, something flashed in his eyes. Hurt? Anger? Disapproval? 'Well you need to hurry up. The rest of the boys are coming back”, he turned away from you. He looked behind himself to see if you where following.“You coming or what?”, he stated angrily as he turned towards you. “Or else I can leave you to your looking around”, he enforced. You opened your mouth.

“I'll go with you”, you hung your head. “And I was actually lost”, you grumbled, you didn't know why you had the sudden urge to tel him the truth. But you did. He had that type of vibe about him that he'd probably find out later and hold you in an even lower regard. “I figured”, Keith replied. He breathed out through his nose loudly. “Now come one. Before I forget the way”,you almost grinned. Was Keith, the boy that Lance hated, trying to make you feel better? You both walked in silence. “So....”, you tried to strike up conversation with him. He gave you a look,

“If you don't have anything to say don't say it at all”, Keith informed you. You pouted, You soon found out that he was much of a talker for small talk. Well not soon but then. “You're not one for small talk are you?”,

“If it's not important no. I prefer... proper conversation”, you grinned at him.

“Hmm I can see that”, you almost sung, he glared at you, as he realized that he had given in to small talk. “You're just like Lance”, he stated through gritted teeth, if you thought he was going to add anything you were wrong. You nodded, “Well he is my best friend”, you clicked your tongue. You weren't slightly insulted by being compared to Lance. He was handsome and everyone girl or boy flocked to him or went jelly at his touch. So why should you be insulted? “Well he's... charming so I take that as a complement” Keith didn't reply. He just kept on walking. Soon you were at the Control Room. Pidge and Shiro where already there. Wait it had been 2 hours? You scratched your head. You again took in the Control Room. You decided then that you where not going near that crystal, if it fell you were going to be a pancake. Pidge looked ready to unlock the universes secret he was that hyped. The door opened to reveal and groaning Hunk and Lance. “You made it”, Allura proclaimed in that cheerful tone of hers,

“Yeah, just barely. That was a nightmare. I almost puked out there. I felt like Hunk”, you felt a laugh bubble in your chest at the comparison. Poor Hunk. “Think how I felt. I am Hunk”,

“Yeah... We had a tough time too”, Shiro and Pidge looked at each other and grinned. Lance looked incredibly sour. Shiro suddenly jumped in as interest claimed his mind, “Did we find the Red Lion yet?”,

“Allura just located it. There's a bit of good news and bad news. The good news is, the Red Lion's nearby. The bad news is, it's on board that Galra ship now orbiting Arus. But wait... good news again. We're Arus!”, He spread his arms wide in and almost happy gesture.

“They're here already?”,

“Yes. Guess my calculations were a bit off. Finger counting... it's more of an art than a science. Hmm?”, Coran suddenly went business like. His sudden change in emotion changing dramatically. A video transmission suddenly appeared and a figure ( slightly hideous and bat like) stood in view. “Princess Allura, this is Commander Sendak of the Galra Empire. I come on behalf of Emperor Zarkon. Lord of the Known Universe. I am here to confiscate the Lions. Turn them over to me, or I will destroy your planet”. The video stopped. Not waiting for a reply. This Sendak was hideous. The Galra race were hideous, if they all looked like him. 'All right let's not panic”, Shiro suggested.

“Not panic? The scary purple alien thing is driving his battleship toward us. We only have four Lions”,

“Technically only three working Lions”, Pidge corrected.

“That's right. Thank you, Pidge. Three working Lions and a Castle that's like... 10,000 years old”,

“Actually it's 10,600 years old. You see, it was built by my grandfather-”,

“Thanks, Coran. Thank you for that. See? Now is the perfect time to panic”, You heart thudded in your chest. Allura began to speak, her face almost in a way that looked stunned. “Wait! This Castle has a particle barrier we can activate”. You frowned not really getting it. You knew that a particular was something that was in everything and that it could be lots of different things. “Girl, you've already activated my par-”, Lance began,

“Lance!”, both you and Shiro stopped Lance from finishing his sentence.

“The particle barrier wan't hold Sendak's ion cannon forever. The Galra technology must have advanced since we fought them last”, Coran stated simply/ Wait if they have advanced doesn't't that mean they could detect this ship. The Galra defeated the Altans when they had worse technology than now. You began to feel panic rise at the thought. “Panic now?”, Hunk asked,

“No. We've just got to figure out our plans of action, aanndd..... figure it out quickly”,

“I say we pop through a Wormhole and live to fight another day”, Lance suggested, you nodded your head in agreement.

“I second that. Yes, I mean, we tried to find all the Lions, right? We gave it the old college try. Couldn't do it. We only have three. We can't form Voltron. I guess we could form a snake....? Or a worm! To go through that hole, Lance, that you were talking about?,

“Then, its settled. Allura you ride with me. One of you take the old guy”, Coran began to seethe behind him. 'We can't jut abandon Arus. The Galra will keep destroying planets and capturing prisoners until we stop them”, Pidge insisted,

“Okay. If we run, then maybe Sandak will follow us and leave this planet alone, like when we left Earth. We form the snake worm thingy and we hssss out of here”, Hunk made elaborate hand gestures to accommodate his 'hsss'. “Sendak could destroy the planet then come after us anyway. Staying is our only option”, Keith stated, is irritation showing. Lance frowned,

“Here's an option, shut your Quiznak”, in the background Coran and Allura look horrified. Keith didn't look the bit fazed though as he stated/ “I don't think you're using that word correctly”.

“What do you know, mullet?”,

“We're staying”, Keith stated firmly,

“Leaving!”, Lance insisted,

“Staying!”, Pidge put in all angry like,

“Snake!”, Hunk added in his idea. You were torn. Both sides made sense. Both sides had there flaws and ups. “Guys stop!” Shiro boomed, he looked around at everyone and then back to Princess Allura. “Princess Allura, these are your Lions. You've dealt with the Galra Empire before. You know what we're facing better than any of us. What do you think is the best course of action?”, Allura blinked as if she was almost confused with the idea of deciding. “I-I don't know”, she said,

'Perhaps your father can help”, Coran suggested, Allura turned to him,

'My father?”, indeed, you thought, wasn't he dead hence why you are here?
