Voltron's Fire: The Phoenix in the Stars

The Rise of Voltron PT. 3

Shiro and Pidge had just arrived with news that they had found the Green Lion.

Not too much longer after they arrived, Lance and Hunk made it back. I quickly hid the picture in my pocket and watched as they walked through the door.

They were groaning in pain.

"You made it." Allura said happily.

"Yeah, just barely. That was a nightmare." Lance said as he stretched, "I almost puked out there. I felt like Hunk."

"Think how I felt. I am Hunk." Hunk added.

Pidge chuckled, "Yeah. We had a tough time, too." Shiro smiled but turned serious as he turned towards Allura.

"Did we find the Red Lion yet?" He asked.

"Allura just located it. There's a bit of good news and bad news." Coran explained whule twiriling his orange moustache, "The good news is, the Red Lion's nearby. The bad news is, it's in board that Galra ship now orbiting Arus. But wait, good news again. We're Arus!"

That didn't exactly sound better.

"They're here already?" Shiro asked.

"Yes. Guess my calculations were a bit off. Finger counting-- It's more of an art than a science. Hmm?"

Suddenly, the large screen in front of us turned on. A picture of a purple creature with fur and a mechanical eye stared down at us.

"Princess Allura, this is Commander Sendak of the Galra Empire. I come on behalf of Emperor Zarkon, Lord of the Known Universe. I am here to confiscate the lions. Turn them over to me, or I will destroy your planet."

The screen went dark before shutting off. We all stared at the now empty screen, surprised but I was ready to fight.

"All right, let's not panic." Shiro tried to reassure.

"Not panic?" Hunk began to panic, "The scary purple alien thing is deiving his battleship towards us. We only uave four lions."

"Technically, only three working lions." Pidge corrected.

"That's right. Thank you, Pidge. Three working lions and a castle that's, like, 10,000 years old."

"Actually, it's 10,600 years old. You see, it was built by my grandfather--"

"Thanks, Coran. Thank you for that. See? Now is the perfect time to panic!" Hunk interrupted Coran.

"Wait! This castle has a particle carrier we activate." Allura said.

"Girl, you've already activated my par-"

"Lance!" Shiro scolded. I tried to hide my laughter, but ended up smirking instead.

Coran rushed to the main computer and pulled up the map of Sendak's battleship.

"The particle barrier won't hold off Sendak's ion cannon forever." He said, "The Galra technology must've advanced since we fought them last."

"Panic now?" Hunk asked.

"No. We've just gotta figure out our plan of action, and figure it out quickly." Shiro said.

Just then, the screen changed, it was written in Altean so we couldn't read it.

"What is it, Coran?" I asked.

"It says that there's an incoming communication link coming from Sendak's ship." He answered.

"Do you think it's Sendak again?" Shiro asked.
