Voltron: Keith x OC (White Lion) - Daughter of Light

Kanna And The Paladins

Kanna was spending the morning practicing with the robot gladiators on the training deck. It had been a while since she got any fighting practice, since she hadn't been chasing fugitives and criminals around the galaxy.

She quite liked her new double swords. It took some getting used to, but she was really getting the hang of it.

"Activate level 7" she said, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

Two robots started charging in her direction.

Robot one lifted his sword up, aiming for her right shoulder, while robot two attempted to break her balance by aiming for her right leg.

Kanna dove left, dodging the sword from robot one and jumping over robot two's staff.

Now standing on her hands, Kanna wrapped her legs around the second robots neck and used her momentum to throw it on the ground. Once she was back up, she slashed the first robot's head off from behind.

The white paladin thought the simulation was over, until she sensed someone coming towards her.

'Well I guess level 7 includes 3 robots' she thought, and she flipped her swords in her hands ready to charge.

Once she turned around, Kanna realized she had her swords around Keith's neck. The red paladin looked quite shocked.

"Keith?! Why did you sneak up on me like that, have you got a death wish or something?" said Kanna, surprised.

"The simulation was over! I didn't think you wore gonna attack me!" responded Keith, moving the swords away from his neck.

"Sorry. Was expecting a robot." she said. "What are you doing here anyway? Have you been watching me?"

"Sort of, I guess. Didn't know you could fight. You are really fast. How do you do that?"

"Well, you can't get very far in the bounty hunting business without some fighting skills." said Kanna, trying to avoid having to explain her super-human speed. 

"What's up with that, anyway? Why weren't you on Earth?" inquired Keith.

Kanna sighed and sat on the floor, leaning on the wall. Keith followed and sat beside her.

"Well my story is kind of complicated. My mom passed away when I was very young, and my father worked for the Galaxy Garrison. Like all of you, I was going to join the Garrison with hopes of exploring the galaxy one day."

Kanna paused and thought about how much she was ready to disclose.

"Things didn't work out that way, though. When I was 15, my father left for a mission as the engineer of a crew. All I got back was a closed casket." she continued.

"I'm sorry." said Keith.

With a soft smile, Kanna continued:

"I was angry and scared, and I thought there was no one I could trust. Since my dad used to built many of the spacecrafts used by the Garrison, he had a few prototypes at our home. So I just got in one and left. I didn't put much thought into it, actually. Thinking back on it, it was a terrible idea."

"Yeah, it sounds pretty insane." added Keith.

"I guess that's one to put it." Kanna said, smiling.

"Why do I feel like there is something you aren't telling me, though?" asked Keith.

"That's because there are lots of things I'm not telling you, Keith. We barely know each other. Besides, its not like I know anything about you, either."
