Voltron's Mechanic (Keith x OC)

10.5) Greening the Cube

We all went back to the base, Shiro explaining the plan to us. We took the Green Lion to get to the roof, having Pidge drop us all off. Then we searched for the King.

Inside his room we could hear sobbing, but when we went inside we saw it as because he was watching some drama. I walked around, stopping in front of a weird looking wall.

"King Lubos?" Shiro asked unsurely.

"Yes? Who are you? The jesters I requested?" He questioned.

"Um, we're here to like, rescue you?" Lance asked unsurely.

Lubos pressed a button on his chair with a smirk and the wall I was standing in front of disappeared, a bunch of Sentries showing up in front of me, a Galra man walking past them and staring at me. I froze, knowing if I made any sudden movements he'd probably kill me.

"You could have just said, 'No thanks'," Hunk said.

"Aris, who thought you'd be on a planet full of mechanical geniuses," The Galran said to me then looked over at Lubos. "Looks like someone came to rescue you, Lubos"

"You turned your back on your people to save your own skin?" Shiro asked Lubos.

"I'm doing this for my people! They wanted to fight the Galra, but they are too powerful! The Galra could destroy us!" Lubos defended.

"So, you helped enslave your people to build some super weapon?" Lance asked.

"Don't make me the bad guy! He forced me to do it!"

"Did he force feed you, too?"

"Uh..."

"You're no king," Keith said, going over to the King to hold him as a hostage. He held his bayard against Lubos' neck. "Okay, we're walking out of here! Anyone tries to stop us and Lubos gets it!"

"Wha, K-Keith!" Shiro exclaimed in shock.

"That came out of nowhere!" Lance said.

"La-sai, what are you doing?" Lubos asked the Olkari prisoner that was there.

"You betrayed our people. I can't live this lie anymore"

"You don't want me to hurt your genius engineer, right?" Keith asked.

"Oh, be my guest. His work is done. The cube is complete," the Galra man said, then he grabs hold of my arm. "And we have a new, better, engineer anyway"

"What? But-but I thought we had a deal!" Lubos exclaimed.

"Guards, put them all out of their misery. Except for the girl, she comes with us, Zarkon wants her brain alive"

A laser shot through the wall, destroying a hole in the wall for us to escape through. The Green Lion's face appeared in the hole and we could hear Pidge's voice.

"Your ride is here!"

"Engage the cube! Take down the lion!" The Galran ordered.

"Aris!" The others shouted after me, looking worried.

"I know you'll come back for me. Go save yourselves, make up a brilliant plan like you normally do and defeat them!"

"Shut up!" The Galran shouted, tossing me back onto the floor.

"Aris!" I heard Keith shout above the guns shooting.

The others reluctantly left, and then I was dragged towards the Galra ship and into a cell. Soon the Galra man showed up with two sentries. He smirked.

"Your mom has always been a pain in our side, how she saved some of the Olkari from us"

"What do you know about her?"
