Spirit Of The Purple Paladin || Voltron: The Purple Paladin {Book 1}

Ch 1: "He Lost"

A/N: The picture above is Princess Cloud Skywalker. Don't mind the pose she's in, she does not act like that. The jacket is dark purple too with her hair long and in a high ponytail.

The Blue and Purple Lions shoot around the Altean Castle Ship, as I laugh at Lance's ridiculousness. "Come on, Lance give up. We both know I'm more connected to my Lion than you are."
"Never! This is the one way I can beat you at something, C!" Lance exclaims with victory, even though he hasn't won.
We take another lap around the ship, and as we get closer and closer to the opening of my Lion's sleeping quarters, I turn the Purple Lion's Electric Tail feature. I spin my Lion around and aim the electricity ball at Lance. With a huge smirk on my face, I hit the Throw button on my dashboard, sending the electricity ball past the head of the Blue Lion.
"Hey! Not fair!" Lance exclaims, as I laugh and shoot into the passage way to Purple Lion's quarters. "You cheated, Cloud! I was not going to aim at your Lion with the ice, I could've frozen the ship."
I laugh, setting Purple down and jumping down from the cockpit. "It was her idea." I blame my Lion, as she did tell me to shoot Lance and his Lion.
"Mmhmm, sure." Lance groans through the earpeice in our helmets. I begin walking down the hall, being greeted by Shiro's smiling expression.
"You won again?" Shiro raises his eyebrow at me. "I heard it all. From Lance's stubborn comment to the electrical blast and his complaining afterwards." I notice the other paladin wearing his full set of armour.
I nod, taking my helmet off so I don't have to listen to Lance's complaining. "Thought he would've learnt by now, huh?" We both laugh and walk into the lunch room - as Hunk and I like to call it. Pidge, Keith, Allura and Coran are already sitting down at the table. I sit next to Pidge, while Shiro sit next to Keith.
Pidge turns to me, with an expression like she's about to laugh. "Training?"
"You could say that..." I shrug, then Lance walks into the room. As he continues to mumble under his breath, Pidge leans closer to me. "I bet him again."
"No suprise." Pidge shrugs, sitting back upright. She smiles to Lance who sits across from her. "The Purple Lion is more agile than the Blue Lion."
Lance glared at me. "No, it's not. Cloud just cheated is all!"
"Come on, Lance. It's not like this is the first time she's bet you." Allura laughs, finally speaking up. "You guts have been racing all morning. I think the Lions need a break from all the hard work."
"True," Lance and I say at the same time.
I turn to the younger paladin. "Truce?"
"Truce." Lance nods, before a smirk appears on his face. "For now."
Hunk walks in with trays of delicious food. I've always been fond of his cooking, he really is the best cook I know in the middle of space. "Bon appétit."
"Since when did you know French, man?" Lance asks, as Hunk finishes handing out the plates and sits down with us.
The Yellow Paladin shrugs. "I don't, I just know cook." After we've eaten, Pidge and I head down to the Training Room. The little Green Paladin believes I need to work on my bow-and-arrows skills. She uses the buttons on the dashboard in the skyveiw balcony looking into the Training Room to pull up a simulation.
"Okay, Cloud, you're on a planet with very little live inhabitants. No plants, barely any living creatures." Pidge begins explaining.
I chuckle softly. "Doesn't sound like a planet I want to visit."
"Can I continue?" Pidge asks, looking down at me. "The only living creatures are bad and have kidnapped the other paladins. Right now, they're trying to kidnap you."
"Can't I just persuade them to let you guys go?" I frown, looking down at the cute simulation of the creature. "It's too cute to hurt."
"No sympathy, Cloud. This creature is going to kill us if you don't stop them!" Pidge shouts, as if she's in danger. 'Kill us' is the trigger phrase for Lycans; we can't control ourselves.
I grab my Bayard and it changes into a purple bow. I pull the string back quickly and an arrow appears; I spread my fingers slightly as two more arrows appear on the bow - cool right? I shoot the three creathres in front of me, before spinning around a shooting two more.
Ten doboshes later, Pidge stops the simulation and I lean my back against the wall to take a breath. The back of my head hits the wall and I look up at the roof.

Flashback
"Come on, Little Sister! The butterflutes went this way!" Chase squeals, as we race across the meadow. Our paws hit the soft grass and I leap up, catching the butterflute in my jaw. It dances around, tickling my tongue and upper mouth, making me open my mouth again.
Mother steps out onto the balcony of the castle and smiles. "Come on, my little pups! Time to come back inside!"
Flashback End

"Hello?" Pidge shouts, waving her hand in my face. "Are you okay?"
I shake my head roughly, my silver-white bangs bouncing. "I-I'm fine. Just memories coming back to me." I smile to my best friend, and she grabs my gloved hand.
She practically drags me down the hall to my Lion's quarters.
Her face brightens, telling me what she wants to do. "Can we? You went outside with Lance earlier. And we don't spend enough time together."
"Okay, okay. Go get Green. I'll wait in Purple Lion's bay for you." We both race off - me to get my helmet that I left in the lunch room and Pidge to get chnaged into her armour. Running back to Purple's quarters, the robotic lion looks down at me. She leans down and opens her jaw for me. I jump in and sit down in the large purple seat. "Pidge, you there?"
"Yep, just getting into the Green Lion now." She responds, then I hear a clanking sound.
I frown, getting up out of my seat. "Are you okay? Is Green okay?"
"I...I'm not sure. I think I'll just give the Green Lion some time to rrst. I think that's what it's telling me." Pidge replies, and I hear her jump down from the cockpit.
