Voltron: The Blade Of Marmora

Remember I'm using some lines from the actual show!! This was requested by @TheUU101 . So sorry for the wait!! Please forgive me! But it's really long so hopefully that makes up for it :)

———————————————————————

"Come on, Keith, we're leaving." Shiro said, and he started walking away. But Keith had other ideas.

"Not without some answers. Somehow, one of your knives needed up with me on planet Earth, tell me how!" Keith said sternly. He was serious about this, leaving wasn't an option for him.

"Your friend is right, it is time for you to go." The leader of the BOM said boldly. He didn't take nonsense. And yet, he couldn't help but admire this kids bravery a little. Nor did Keith, though.

"Where did it come from?! I have to know."

Silence. But then...

"You seek knowledge? There is only one way to attain knowledge here."

"How?! I'll do it!"

"The trials of Marmora. Should you survive, you may keep the blade and it's secrets will be revealed."

"Survive? Keith, this is crazy. If they're not going to help us, let's get out of here." Shiro said suddenly. He was not having this.

"I'm not going anywhere. I have to do this."

"Antok, give the boy the blade." The leader said.

"We will meet again." Antok said as he was handing Keith the blade.

"Can't wait."

"These trials result in one of two things. Knowledge...or death."

As Keith stood in the arena he felt confident. More confident then he should, he realized. But he was determined, so he couldn't help the feeling he had of not only cockiness, but triumph.

As the first Marmora entered the ring, they spoke, "Surrender the blade. You cannot win." They took out their sword, pointing it at Keith.

Keith - not replying - charged. He fought well. Quick attacks, snappy reflexes, good athleticism. Throwing the blade in the air for a quick second before catching it a moment later.

But this Marmora was just as good, maybe even better. As he landed two hard hits on Keith, he went flying. As Keith rolled, he used it to his advantage and propelled himself up again into a standing position. The Marmoran charged.

Keith fought back bravely. Dodging, not being able to get his own attack in. But his efforts were futile, he eventually got a deep cut on his shoulder. Refusing to give up, he raised his blade.

Keith was kicked to the ground. While getting up the Marmora grabbed hold of his arm, twisting it in a way that you could here it crack. Soon, Keith was kneeling with his arm held straight behind him. Keith grunting, hung his head. Bangs in front is his head.

"Surrender the blade, and the pain will cease." Said the Marmoran. He moved his blade closer to Keiths throat as Keith responded.

"I won't quit."

"Then the pain continues." The Marmoran stepped back, letting Keith fall slightly to the ground before getting back up again.

"You are not meant to go through that door." At that, Keith started running towards it.

A second blade showed up. Both coming from underground. Keith - more determined than before - held his blade high. This time, he let the blades come to him.
