Red And Blue Makes Purple (Voltron OC Insert) !DISCONTINUED!

What Is "Fun"

   Matt and Pidge had recently found  their father, Sam. Zargon's son, Lotor, had recently been their prisoner, and Zargon had Sam. Zargon required that the paladins hand Lotor over for their father, which they had reluctantly agreed to. 

   But Zargon had tricked them with a hologram, but fortunately the paladins were able to save Sam, and Lotor ended his father's life. Power struggles throughout the Galra had emerged since the incident, and Lotor sided with the paladins.

   Ash was enjoying herself much more, now that she had access to go on missions with them. She continued to tamper with Keith's craft, giving it a new paint job, and adjusting some of the controls to her liking.

   Everyone was gathered at one of the pods, Sam had decided to return to Earth. He had wanted Matt and Pidge to come with them, but they both agreed that they needed to stay and help fight against the Gulra.

   "We're going to miss you sir," Shiro said, smiling at Sam. 

   "Ah, I'm sure you'll do just fine without me," came his response, as he loaded the last of what he'd need to make it back to Earth safely.

    "Hey I had everyone record messages to our families, uh, heads up, I got a little teary in mine so, mom's eyes only," Hunk said, handing the blue recording device to Sam. He smiled and took it. 

   "Of course."

   "You probably don't want to watch Lance's either, it's probably just a love message to Jenny Shaybond. Or the other one, what was her last name?" Hunk said jokingly. Ash let out a snort of laughter.

   "Shut up Hunk!" Lance said defensively, turning away from him and crossing his arms. Ash held a suddenly shocked expression, and approached him carefully.

   "Okayy, I was just joking around, jeez," Hunk said, but his tone turned to one of concern. "Dude are you okay?"

   "Just, when we start thinking of Earth, it makes me think of my Mom, my brother Marco, my brother Louise, my sister Veronica, my Grandma-" he cut himself off, looking to the ground. Ash approached him and placed a soft hand on his shoulder. He gave her a quick grateful glance.

   They all turned to the Holt's, who gave their last goodbyes. Their eyes grew teary.

   "Must be dusty in here," Ash chuckled, giving Lance a not-so light punch on the arm.

   "Ow," he grumbled, making Ash smile to herself. 

***

   The team had been invited to Lotor's base. The doors slid open, and they stood in awe. Rows of robots stood on each side, providing them a runway like walkway, as Lotor stood from his throne and walked down the stairs. 

   "Thank you for coming, my friends. I've prepared a new imperial banner to represent our lions. This is the same banner that flew over our heads when our fathers were the original paladins of Voltron."

   Lotor took a few steps closer, and examined the group. His eyes fell on Ash. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, to get a better look at her.

   "Hey!" Came Lance's voice, but Ash remained quiet as Lotor scanned her, his purple pupils taking in her curly, white locks. Her brown eyes and roots. Her short and skinny frame, her button nose. Her round face. 

   "Never seen you before," he said, his voice openly containing suspicion. He noted she wasn't wearing any armor. 

   Lotor leaned away, and Ash yanked her wrist out of her grasp, Lance coming up defensively behind her. They stepped back into the group together, Lance continuing to glare at Lotor.

   "I'm sure you'll be interested in inspecting every aspect of the Galra headquartes," Lotor said smirking, turning to Shiro. 

   "Actually... I'd like to cross-reference our star charts with Galra locations," Shiro said, shifting in his position.

   "Of course. Sentry, take them to the record room," Lotor paused and looked back to Shiro and Koran, smiling. "You'll find everything you need there."

    The three walked away, leaving Ash, Allura, Lotor, Lance, and Hunk. Lotor turned to the four earthlings. "I will provide you with an escort that will take you wherever you want to go." He turned to Allura. "Come princess, there is much work to be done."

   The two walked away, leaving the four and a robot alone, standing aimlessly in front of the throne. 

   Lance tried running after them, but the Sentry stopped him, despite his efforts. Ash was slightly confused, he'd never shown an interest in her before. 

   "Soooooo.... we're just free to roam around Gulra HQ and have some fun?" Hunk asked, leaning closer to the robot.

   "What is, fun?" It questioned, no emotion laced in its voice. The four gazed at him in confusion, with Lance breaking into a smirk.

   "You're about to find out."

***

   Ash sat there, typing contently on the laptop she had thrown together with spare parts, Lance leaning over her shoulder.

   "Watcha writing?" He asked, placing his chin in his palm. Ash raised an eyebrow at him, but said nothing as she returned her gaze to the screen. She turned her direction so the back of the laptop was facing him, a pout coming across his face.

   "How do we know it worked?" He said, getting up and approaching the robot. Pidge had attempted to reprogram the robot to have fun. 

   The robot turned on and sat up, causing everyone to shuffle away quickly in surprise. Ash stopped typing for a moment and watched curiously, her position not moving, but her gaze watching intensely.

   "You dumb-dumbs got any non-lethal semi combustible diversionary devices?" It questioned. Ash looked at Lance, who held a look of pure confusion. 

   "What?" He asked, his gaze locked in confusion.

   "Firecrackers, Lance," Ash said, chuckling. Pidge's head whipped into view as she sat herself up, gazing at the robot in awe.

   "Oh, it worked," Hunk said, a smirk covering his face. As Ash was about to continue typing, she felt a hand grip around her wrist and drag her out of the room with the others.

   "Nope! You're coming with us!"

   "But Lance!"

***

   "Hunk, hand me another food goo!" Lance exclaimed, the blue substance dripping down from his hair.

   Ash flicked her covered hands at Lance, causing some to splatter onto his face. He gave her a quick glare before letting out a hearty chuckle.

   "Halt! You are being detained for unsafe-"

   "Scram!"

   Ash looked around confusedly, two guards stood in front of her. The robot had just started running. She felt someone grip her wrist tightly, Ash let out a small gasp of surprise. Lance smiled back at her as he led her over to a segway-type vehicle. 

   She leaped on, clinging to a the robot. Pidge hoisted herself onto Ash's back, as Hunk grabbed onto the other side of the robot, Lance hopping on his back.

   The group's laughter faded down the hallway as Ash and Lance shared a quick smile, Lance happy to see Ash having fun.
