Love, War, and Untold Origins (Paladin ReaderxLance/Keith)(choose at the end)

Forming Voltron(Keith Route)

You began to gain some semblance of consciousness after an unknown amount of time. Your eyes still felt too heavy to open and you didn't have enough energy to move or even speak, but you could hear hurried footsteps of what sounded like two people and feel the touch of someone who you could tell was carrying you in their arms. Then you could hear Lance's voice over to you left. "Is she going to be okay?"

The footsteps stopped. "I don't know." Keith responded, "We need to get her to a cryopod right now." You could feel Keith's hand move to grasp yours. He squeezed it a little as he desperately said. "Come on Y/N. I know you can get through this." He paused to take a deep breath in and regain some composure. "Even though some others thought that you're weak, I know how strong you are. Despite getting constantly bullied in the garrison, you stayed so that you could help innocent people in the future. Despite everyone else failing during the training session, you fearlessly stood up to the challenge - and won. And despite how dangerous you knew this mission was, you volunteered to protect us from the seemingly endless Golra attack."

You could hear Lance's footsteps draw nearer. "Let's go. The faster we get to the cryopods, the faster we can get her back up on her feet."

Keith gently let go of your hand as he looked to Lance and nodded.

And within a moment, the quick sounds of footsteps resumed. You're not sure how long they lasted for, but eventually they stopped once again to be replaced with the sound of moving metal and motors. You felt yourself being placed from Lance's arms into the cryogenic pod, and once again, everything faded to black.

Since you were Altain, you healed faster than any other of the paladins. All and all, the only thing that you wanted was a nice long nap and a day to relax. That wasn't to be though this night. A loud crashing noise was heard and a voice on the intercom told all paladins of Voltron to get to their lions. Begrudgingly, you made your way out of the pod and grumpily hobbled your way on over to the White Lion, not quite understanding the emergency of the situation. Luckily for you, she sped on over to you before you made it to her bay, and off you two went out into the sky and joined your comrades.

"Just in time Y/N!" Shiro greeted, "We need to form Voltron immediately, this robeast is like nothing we've ever seen or encountered before."

"Affirmative!" You and your team meats responded in unison.

Without a moment to spare, you and everyone else got together to form the being known as Voltron. Shiro soared to the top to form the torso and head, with Pidge and Hunk coming at his sides to form the arms, and adjusting themselves to size as needed. Keith and Lance then flew up afterwards to form the legs and lastly you flew behind Voltron to form the tail, changing your shape into a vicious looking tail. You all cautiously approached the robeast and first began to observe it before opening attack. The first thing that you noticed is that the beast looked like a dollar store version of a Voltron lion. The machine was built in fine quality and luster, it just looked like it was trying way too hard to be one of the six lions.

"Is that...what I think it is...?" Lance questioned in wonder and awe.

"Well, if what you're thinking is a Golra prototype of their own voltron lions, then most likely yes. There's no way to tell what this thing does for sure, but it's safe to assume that it might have similar abilities to our own lions or attempt to recreate some of the abilities we show." Pidge explained briefly.

While the team was thinking and discussing about the strange new robeast, it had spotted them and fired a laser against the group. Your team just in time was able to swing up your shield, but the force of the laser still pushed everyone back significantly. Luckily for the team there was nothing behind them but sky. The team simply turned on the thrusters to counteract the force and hovered in place during the meantime.
