I've Got Scars Too.

chapter six

We packed up our belongings and boarded the castle. The other paladins went to say goodbye to their friends and family, Romelle was staying on earth to help fight from there so Allura and Coran went to say goodbye to her. I stayed with Shiro while he said goodbye to some of the other garrison teachers. Soon we were all on the castle and ready to fight Zarkon.

(A/n So I've been feeling like voltron had such a great set up but was finished badly so I'm just going to make this story the way I want it, so in this one Zarkon is still alive)

After about a week of being on the castle we were bored out of our minds. Allura decided to make me their 'personal trainer' so that made it my job to come up with individual workout and eating schedules that would benefit each paladin personally. I was getting good at it too, I would make minor adjustments and work from there. Overall everyone was doing extremely well.

I was still working on Shiro's problem and I think that if this continues at least one of them will die. That's when I got an idea that I could possibly recreate another body. I went to the castles garden (we added some improvements to this castle) and started practicing.

The first thing I did was take the essence of one of the plants out, which killed it's original body, I then used my quintessence to create another body for it. I did this multiple times because sometimes the new bodies would die, I perfected the plant transformation and now I hope humans will work the same. I also put two plant essences into the same body and studied it, my guess was right, eventually one or both will die.

I learned a lot from doing this; if the transfered essence is taken out a second time it has less chance of survival than the original host, one or more essence will die when sharing a body, the quicker the extra essence is removed the higher chance of survival, and if the created body has any malfunction it will die.

I think I'm ready to help shiro...

I managed to explain this to shiro and he agreed to let me do this. I also had to tell him about my powers and they both promised not to tell anyone yet. Because my powers need to refuel we decided tomorrow would be best.

We went to the healing pods late at night because I told them they would probably be weak or slightly injured. We were all on edge since we knew all that could go wrong.

I also let Kuro know that his looks could be altered because they aren't the same person.

I felt my heart pumping in my chest and I was so scared, I just found people to trust and now I could accidentally kill them.

I sighed loudly.

"Okay were ready, and Kyra please know we both agreed that if anything happens you arent to blame because your trying to save us both. I could hear their voice was filled with fear, and they were shaking.

They sat down on the bench and I shakingly took off my glove.

"You-you were a galra prisoner too?" I could tell that this information shook both of them. I shook my head yes. I had to take off my glove so it wouldn't interfere with this, I also set my jaket aside so it wouldn't get in the way. There was minimal scars on my arms so it didnt worry me

I placed both my palms on shiros temples and clenched my eyes tight, I needed to focus on channeling my powers. I could feel Shiro's gaze on me but I forced my self to block it out.

It felt like time had stopped, the world was silent. I suddenly felt how cold the room was becoming and my finger tips felt numb. Soon I felt Kuro's essence being pulled from the body as Shiro's body went limp, hes probably out cold.

I turned around so I could have space to create Kuro's body. For now it will be the mirror image of Shiro's but it could change within the next 72 hours. (She guessed this time frame based off the size of the plants and how the changed the following morning)

I held my arms up into the air and concentrated on forming Shiro's body. My body was becoming weak from the energy I had to put into this. My knees were buckling under the pressure. I could barely breathe, and was starting to inhale deeply. Their was a sharp pain going through my entire body, and I felt like fainting.

"STOP. You need to stop" I could hear Shiro, he must have woken up already "you're going to kill yourself" but I had already started to block him out. I wanted to go to sleep I was so tired. I didn't know if my body could handle much more, but I had to continue I wont let him die. If I had to I would give my life up for anyone if the paladins or Coran (a/n Rip Coran for not being a paladin).

Dark colors filled my vision, I was almost finished. I knew Shiro was trying to get up but he was still too weak to stop me. I opened my eyes, all I needed was a few more second, the bodies face was completed, and I wasnt going to look elswhere since he had no clothing. He was nearly there, his outter appearance was complete bit I wasn't sure about how his internal organs.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING" someone screeched as they ran through the door. I can't focus on them, if I do Kuro might die. I could see the swinging of a staff near my throat.

"CANT YOU SEE YOUR HURTING SHIRO" I could hear the muttering of others in the doorway, "Stop what you are doing to shiro or I will personally stop you."

"Allura please stop" a muffled grunt came from behind me, Shiro. I could hear the others around me gasp, at least they now know its not Shiro I'm hurting. "Shes saving our lives", my eyes were clenched tightly, I could feel my skull pulsing. I can not stop. The hear around us was condensing, and I knew the others around could feel it too.

"Our? You mean plural?", Pidge. She picked up on what Shiro said. The room fell silent as the others nervously watched.

Slowly, the pressure started to lift. I opened my eyes, the dim lighting hurting them. My head was throbbing. His eyes were open, and I knew I did my job, the healing pods could take it from here. I was so happy, he was alive. I did it, I saved him, but it might still cost me my life.

The adrenaline rush I had from knowing he was okay was wearing off and my eyelids felt so heavy. Dark edges filled my vision and my body felt so heavy. I was falling, barely conscious, I could see the hard metal floor and I knew I was going to face plant.

A/n haha sorry it took so long to update I had school and was struggling to keep my crap up to date, but I'm working on it and hoping to update again soon.
