Star Commander -Voltron: legendary Defenders (Shiro x OC)

Let it begin

What can I say about space?

        Well, space is a very cold place. That if you walk around in it without a spacesuit on, then you're going to die. That, unless you're an alien. Many people have a hard time believing in aliens, but for some reason, I didn't. I have the idea that they are out there- watching, and waiting. Just sitting on their alien butts, drink some of their alien ....Vaka, waiting to come and take us all under their control.
The question is.... how long before they come?
        You might think that might not be for a long time, but they're, just waiting behind that door called opportunity. And when they finally do jump out, they'll catch us off guard. Some might not be ready. Others will be ready to take action and stop what's coming.
        You can call me crazy but I know it's true. How do I know this? It happened. With a group people, who were sent to Kerberos on a mission. They all just disappeared, like the wind. Where did they go? No one knows. But I do know it had something to do with aliens. I have this feeling it had to do something with aliens.
But then again I'm just a girl who works at a space training camp.

So what do I know?

****************************************************************************************************************************

        I stood toward the side watching as students tested their skills in the simulator. The head officer stood, watching too with a very unpleasant face as usual. The next of the students step up and wait until the Officer said to get in. The group was of three girls, all who looked very uncomfortable and worried they might mess up.
I know how it felt being tested. Of course, I was a child too. I went through some of the same training as all these students. Although I was one of the lucky people who got cooperative team mates.
​​​​​​Those were the good days. A more happier time in my life. Man, I sound like a old person telling their life story. Even so, I was more happier than I was now. I used to smile a lot more back then. Not saying I didn't smile now, I just I don't feel like it's a real smile. After I lost so many important people in my life, everything feels so... so different. Like I was trapped in a time loop without an escape.

        When I first come to the Space Academy, Garrison, I was excited for the changes I was about to face. My mother had been the one to sign me up to attend Garrison Space Academy. A well known Academy for trading people who want to go into space in the future. She had attended it too. Mom had always dreamed, hoped, wished to go into space. To step on the ground of a unknown planet that never been walked on before.
        My Dad had the same dream, well, almost the some dream. He want to sit and talk to people who went into space. To hear how beautiful it was- never step beyond our world. He was the more 'I would rather have both my feet on the ground' person. Even so their love for space was what made their relationship stronger. After they married a short time later they had me. They were happy. We were all happy.
        I've been working here at Garrison since I was 20. I've worked hard to live up to what my mom always wanted. She want to go and explore space but was never able to. So I was going to go for her, see the unknown. Some way.
        There a noise from the simulator, the door open, and the girls walked out. I hadn't payed any attention to them at all. I felt bad for getting lost in my thoughts. Which happens a lot. I need to pay attention. When the students mess up it's my mistake for not teaching them better. I thought as the next group of students step up.
        Lance, Hunk, and Pidge stood there waiting for their turn. Oh boy. I have no problem with the three, but I couldn't help myself sometimes. Not saying I had really any problems with them. They're good students, each with a personal strength. It was just they never stop fighting with each other, so it made it harder for me to teach them. Pidge was smart mouth who though he knew it all, Hunk was always eating and could only think about food.
        Then, there was Lance, who is a flirt and the only the reason he was a leader was because Keith dropped out. Keith had been to stubborn and uncooperative, but over all he was a very good leader. He was always fighting with people and talking back to the Officers. He would never talk back to me, though, that because we were close. Plus we both stuffed from the some last. ​​​​​​It's only been a year. I frowned, thinking about the past.
​​​​No, stop thinking right now, pay attention to the students.
        I watched the boys test their skill. Which apparently they don't really have a lot. Of course they start bickering with each other and Hunk puked in the main gearbox. The head officer gave me a disappointed look, I bowed my head in apology.
        When the group was of boys come out the shared got a lecture for the Head Officer before the next group went to test. I made eye contact with Lance as he passed on his way out. He looked pretty mad at the fact the Head Officer brought up Keith in his lecture. I know Lance didn't like Keith but that don't change the fact he could learn a thing or two from him.

        Of course he didn't like me either ​​​for the fact I tell him that, but I could live with fact he don't like me. My job was to teach the students not be their best friend. I have to tell them their flaws, so what happens, doesn't happened again.
With a sigh I tried to pay attention to the other students.

        At the end of another long day of training and lectures, I head to my room and showered for the night. I changed into some of my regular clothes. I got ready to go out for some much needed me time. First, I wanted going to talk to Lance, Hunk, and Pidge about their testing today. I changed to a black skirt, with a black tank top, a white jacket, one black glove that I wear on my right hand, black heels combat boots, and a necklace of my mother's. It was my good luck charm, ever though I don't really believe in luck. Once I was done getting ready, I headed out.
        As I walked down the halls, the evening announcement rang, telling the students to be in bed in five. This made me hurry a little faster. I don't want to get in trouble with one of other officers for keeping students up past lights out. Just as I come around a corner I notice two figures, Lance and Hunk, sneaking down the hallway. Where are they going? A bad feeling grew in the pit of my stomach. Whatever they were up to, it couldn't be good. I followed the two boys just to make sure they didn't do anything dangerous or got into to much trouble. I didn't think Lance could take another lecture day without snapping.
        The duo walked towards the roof, which was against the rules. Big time. I follow as silent as a mice. They walk through the field of solar panels, where Pidge was sit with a lot of tech stuff around him. I hid behind one of the large solar power panels. Lance was speaking to Pidge, "Man, where you get this stuff? It doesn't look like Garrison tech."
"I built it," Pidge replied.
I walk out from behind the panel, "I knew you were smart Pidge, just not that smart. I mean, I never thought you could build a computer or something like that."
Lance jumped about thirty feet into the air. I laughed a little from how shook he was, "What are you doing here?!"
"Followed you and Hunk, princess." I walk past Lance to Pidge's side to get a look at what Lance was talking.
"Why were you following us?" Hunk asked.
"To make sure you don't do any dumb, that could kill you. Now that I think about it, you mostly won't. I think your smart enough not to do something like that right."

Turning my attention to Pidge, "What's this all for?"
Pidge gave us all a worried look, "Well, I've been scanning the system and found alien radio sounds."
"So your crazy, basically." Lance commented.
​        I flash him a quick glare. He had the nerve to call someone crazy? Especially Pidge? While he was a completely self centered, and easily got on people's nerves with his flirting. Me and Keith use to talk a lot about how he got on the both of our nerves. Lance look over me and shrugged his shoulders. I shake my head and turn away from him.
"Guys, I'm being serious. They keep repeating this one word, 'Voltron' and tonight they saying it more then usually." Pidge said.
        Then like a sign from the heavens, there was announcement from the PA of the school, "Attention students, this is not a drill. We are on lockdown. Security situation Zulu Niner. Repeat: all students are to remain in barracks until further notice."
        There the bad feeling in my gut went from small to huge. Maybe it was a bad idea following them. I should have stayed inside! But no, I had to follow them. What can I say? Curiosity killed the cat.
Hunk stood up, "What's going on?" His voice wavered, signaling he was afraid.
        I stood there looking into the tonight at the stars and prayed. Now I was kind of afraid too. Whatever was going on must had to what Pidge was talking about. Man, sometime I hurt myself. But I had to be brave.

P.S. I don't own any of the pictures being used in this story and the Voltron: Legendary Defenders characters and most of the line their lines of course belong to their creators. Miyuki is my character, the story is mine, and that about it.

​​​​​Space is beautiful and full of mystery.
That why I love it.
