[Voltron Hunk x Persona] The Purple Paladin: The Story of an Unlikely Paladin

Chapter Seven: Allies

"Eep!" I nervously hold on to the wheel as Cherie and the other lions form what's supposed to be Voltron. Dizzy, I wonder if I'm gonna be sick... "KitKat! You okay?" Hunk calls through the radio system. "KitKat?!" Lance exclaims, "You get to call her KitKat? Can I call you KitKat?" I mumble incoherently. When I come to, I say, "I- um, I only want Hunk to..."

"Okay..." Lance huffs. "No, no," I stutter, "don't be mad. You can call me Des. In fact, everyone can call me Des."

Everyone mutters in agreement. Hunk chuckles, "You're real sweet, KitKat- I mean- Des." I grin. "And you're a selfless sliver of sunshine!"

"D'aww... thanks."

"Incoming spacecraft!" Shiro yells, "Hold for now..." The tension builds as we hold still and watch the ship move closer to the atmosphere. A radio signal catches our system, and a familiar voice pipes up. "Hello? We come in peace...!"

I pause and say, "Hello?" The voice repeats that they come in peace, and I immediately recognize it. "Guys, guys, guys!" I shout, "It's Penn Zero! He and his friends are on our side!" I bounce joyfully in my seat while everyone else holds still. "At ease, guys," Shiro finally says, and they all sigh. They start to talk together about what's actually happening. "But," another voice chimes in, "the bad guys could arrive any minute!" I gasp.

"Oh, my gosh, it's Boone! Hi!" I swivel around and "fangirl out."

"Wait," Coran exclaims; we all stop chattering, "look!"

A small ship swooshes through the sky. A female voice shouts, "That's them!" I recognize the voice as Sashi's, but I don't say anything. Sashi continues, "There's going to be more."

"Let's split up," Shiro says. Voltron deforms, and the green lioness quickly shoots a blinding laser cannon at the drone ship, causing it to explode. "Ow," I wince. "You okay?" Pidge asks me.

"I'm good," I say, "I need to get used to that laser thingy." I hear Cherie's voice in my mind, "Hello?" I gasp. Hey, Cherie, I think back, how can you do that? "All the paladins can do that to their lion."

Wow! So, what do you want to tell me?

"You leave most of it to me. If I need you to do something, do it immediately. And Greenwich says sorry."

Who?

"She's the green lioness." Greenwich looks at Cherie and nods. 

Um, okay! Thanks! I look up at the sky, and a whole swarm of drones blazes its way towards us. Oh, crud, I say to myself, Here we go again...
