Darkness

I look around and all I see is pitch black.

I walk around in hopes of finding light. Then I walk straight into a wall.

However, I cant see that wall. Then I see a bright of red light.

I walk towards it. I follow it until I finally find the source, the red lion.

My cub, I am afraid we are no longer fit together.

"But I have so much to offer! I can and will do anything for Voltron. Even if it means my life..." I look away.

You don't understand? Lance, you are going to be the black paladins cub now. Dont you see? Everyday you grow stronger. The others may not realize it but us lions do.

"Woah..." my mouth hung open for a second ", thank you, but black is Keith's lion."

We are sure you can do this. We trust you, so trust us.

"I guess I will lead the team to victory then."

I woke up to the alarm bells ringing meaning it was time to fight Galra butt.

I almost instantly sprang into action. I practically throw on all my armor. I was the first one to the hangar.

I ran up to red.

"Was it real? Was it real red?" I questioned.

Yes. Yes it was. Go to her Lance.

I ran towards the black lion. I see Keith standing there trying to get her to open up.

"Keith.... let me try...." he looked away. He knew this was going to happen. He has been off ever since Shiro went missing.

Black let down her force field and I got in. It took a while to get used to the controls.

-----------------

The battle was not the best we have had. I wasn't great at giving orders.

"LANCE!" Allura stomped up to me steam practically coming out of her ears.

"THE BLACK LION IS KEITHS. YOU WERE HORRIBLE OUT THERE. MAKE THE LIONS CHANGE THEIR MINDS. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY WRONG." I backed away but then I remembered, I'm no longer the red paladin I am the black paladin. I am the leader of Voltron.

"Allura, I completely understand your issues with me being the black paladin. I too think Keith is better at it, but with practice I can get better. I know I can get better. How about in one hour we put my leader ship abilities to the test, okay?" She nodded her head and walked off. I let out a sigh of relief. The rest of the paladins left.

---------

I have into the training room, first one there in fact. Soon everyone came one by one. I saw Keith come in.

He didnt look so good. He had bad eyebags and his hair was all messed up. I pulled in off to the side. 

"Hey Keith, I know this is hard, you know what im not going to make this a sappy pep talk and you pretend you are happy im going to tell you what i really think. I think you are too smart and strong to be acting like this. Yes, it is okay to have emotions, espically bad ones. However, I know this isnt you Keith. We need you to be you. I need you to be you. We need you to form Voltron, we need you to be the cool emo." I chuckled and put my hand on his shoulder  "You can skip on this is you want. You can get some rest and food." 

he shook his head no " I want to do this. Then I will take care of myself." We both walked back into the room. 

"Alright the first thing we will be doing is," Allura began ", have lance guide of through a maze we cannot see." She smirked and shot a glare at me. I responded with a smile. 

I looked on a screen to see the walls. "Okay Hunk take one big step forward," I directed everyone with out on mistake. Allura looked at me fuming with anger. 

"THIS IS NOT HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!! YOU ARE LANCE THE IDIOT!!! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU..." She broke down sobbing "I...hate you," then she looking up with fury "I hate you, lance." 

"Thats...." everyone expects me to lash out and yell back. But I dont. I respond saying 'that's okay.'

Allura storms off and we all stand in silence.

"Guys.... if you too have a problem with me being the black paladin now is the time to speak up."

Hunk opened his mouth and said ", no no one should have any problem with this. It is a change, yes, however, you would be a good candidate. You are strong, lance."

I looked up and smiled.

"Good to know. Thank you Hunk."
