The Pink Paladin of Voltron

The Colony

The team in the Castle of Lions stood by Coran's desk. The alarms started blaring for some reason. "What is that?" Hunk asked why the alarms were going off. "I've got an incoming craft," Coran answered, looking down at his desk. Shiro ordered, "Shields up. And pull it up on-screen." On the screen appeared an Altean pod coming towards them. "That... That can't be. It's an Altean pod! A really old one!" Coran shouted, his eyes wide in shock. "What's it doin' out here?" asked Lance, Shiro looking over at the two. Shiro said, "Let's find out. Attention, Altean pod, identify yourself." The screen changed to Keith and Olivia. It was a pod that had to be piloted by two people.

"Shiro, it's Olivia and Keith," Keith informed.

"Keith! Olivia!" Shiro said, he began to stammer, "Are you okay?" "Where have you two been?" Pidge asked. "How did you get your hands on that pod?" Coran asked. "Does those two look bigger to you guys?" asked Lance, pointing at the screen, "They're bigger, right? No?"

"Where Ohnz and Lotor?" Olivia asked, raising her voice.

"He's in the quintessence field," Hunk answered her question.

Keith and Olivia looked at each other then forward. "Oh, no," The both said.

The pod landed in the Castle where all the other pods where. The two jumped out with frowns and serious expressions. "Olivia, Keith, it's so good to see you," Shiro said. "Hold on," Lance began, walking towards the two, "How do we know you're the real Keith and not his bigger, cooler, grizzled older brother? Or Olivia and not her prettier, mature looking, awesome older sister?" "We don't got time for this, Lance!" Keith told him, walking past him without even a glance. "Hey, everybody, Olivia and Keith's back!" Lance yelled, knowing it was really them but hurt they didn't greet him back. "We really need to stop Lotor and Ohnz," Olivia stated, the two stopping in front of the others, "Those two have been lying to all of us!" "Wh-Lying about what?" Shiro asked. The blonde Altean yelled, "Everything!"

Lance looked back to a blonde Altean and a brunette Astric. "You're... You're Altean!" Coran said. "And who's the Galran?" Lance asked. Hunk added, "Is that a fox and a wolf?" "Where did you come from?" Coran asked. "We promise we'll explain everything once we get to Lotor," Keith said. Pidge informed them, "We can't get to him. He just entered the quintessence field with Allura." "We have traveled through realities in the past," The Pink Paladin stated, "Can't we fly in there and attack?" Lance walked next to them. "She said Allura is with him. We can't risk hurting her," Lance disagreed. "Why are we even attacking?" Hunk asked they were all confused about the idea of attacking Lotor. "Look, Keith- Everyone, calm down," Shiro tried to settle them down, "When they return, we'll get this all sorted out." Olivia along with Keith tilted their chin down.

They stood in the control room. "Lance is right. You guys have changed," Shiro told them. "Time is different where we've been," Keith responded. Krolia began to introduce herself, "Shiro, I am Krolia. Keith has told me all about you. Thank you for raising him to be the man he is today." The two held each other's wrists. "Krolia is with the Blade of Marmora. Also...she's my mother," Keith informed. The Black Paladin's surprised face turned into a smile. "It's an honor to meet you." Lance popped in front of Lance all shocked about the situation. He told them, "What? Okay, this is nuts! You two come back with your Galra mom, a wolf, an Astric, and an Altean ?" "Yes, I'm still waiting to hear the story of how you found this Altean and Astric," Coran said. Hunk added to Coran, "And why we're supposed to be attacking Lotor." "This is Romelle and Beautiful Meadow, and I think they should tell their own stories," Olivia introduced, the Altean looking down and the Astric looking anxious.
