Crystal's POV
"Okay, look. I now know for certain that Zarkon is tracking us through the Black Lion. We have to find some way to stop him." Shiro said. We were all gathered on the bridge, like usual, discussing our plan. I was sitting down since Coran said I should try to relax and get my energy back.
"How are we gonna do that?" Pidge asked.
"We've never had this situation before. Two paladins battling for the same lion." Allura pondered.
"Well, unless we want Zarkon taking control of Voltron every time we get close, we'll need to figure something out." Shiro said.
An idea hit me in the back of the head. "What if you forge a new bond with Black. One stronger than Zarkon's." I suggested.
"That just might work." Coran said. " And while you're working on that, the rest of us need to find some new teludav lenses. Otherwise we won't be able to travel via wormhole."
"Is that something we have to mail order?" Hunk asked,
"Does anyone even make those anymore?" Keith wondered.
"I don't know. Only a few Alteans could use the teludav 10,000 ago. They may not exist anymore."
"I think I may know where we can get some." Coran spoke up.
"Coran! You're not suggesting going to one of those filthy swap moons! The last time you went, those space pirates took you for everything you had." Allura said.
"Space pirates?" Lance questioned.
"The Unilu were traders and pirates that roamed the galaxies and dealt in black market goods. Umvy spice, by-tor water, little bottles of infinity vapor. Of course, you had to bargain. No one could bargain like the Unilu. Last time, I ended up giving away three quarters of my shipment of lango in exchange for a used pogo oscillator." Coran laughed at the old memory.
"Father was not pleased about that." Allura also let out a laugh.
"Well, while Coran is picking up his lenses I'll take you shopping for something sparkly." Lance gave Allura a flirtatious look, which she surprisingly didn't reject.
"This isn't shopping! You're not wandering around saying 'Oooo What a lovely pink hat! This is so becoming.' No! I can't allow Allura to get anywhere near those filthy, lowballing Unilu hoodlums." Coran suddenly got very defensive.
"But I'd love something sparkly." Allura then gave Coran puppy eyes.
"Look, you're the only one who can operate the Castle. You need to be resting, after all you've been through." Coran responded. He then turned to me. "You too Crystal. You need to rest after the massive power surge you gave Voltron. Now, let's ready a pod for our mission. We need to get in find the scaultrite lenses, and just get out."
"Shotgun!" Lance called.
"What? No, you have to be in the pod bay to call shotgun." Hunk argued.
"Since when?"
"Uhh since forever? That's shotgun etiquette! I wrote the book." Pidge, Hunk, Coran and Lance then walked out and started heading to the pod bay.
"While they're doing that, I'm going to head down to the hangar. I need to strengthen my bond with the Black Lion." Shiro then started making his way to the Black Lion's hangar.
"I guess it's just you and me princess." I looked over to Allura who was giving me a look.
"So what are we supposed to do now, sit around and worry all day?" The mice started squeaking. "Hmmm? What? Dinner and a show?" Allura responded.
