Voltron Coran' Squad Logbook 1

Log 009 - Rising light

"HYA!" Roe yelled, as she kicked away the Galran scout by the face. Clara spun her staff to hit two more soldier's faces. Leila threw one over her shoulder. Sentries came in running, starting to shoot with their laser guns. Deflecting the shots with her sword, Nakia stood her ground.

"We need to make an opening for Lance to escape!" Leila called.

"We'll give him that opportunity as long as there aren't any more of those guys!" Clara yelled back. "Damn, they are persistent."

"Not to mention they're getting a little too touchy over here!" Roe called out.

"We will make do." Nakia prepared another deflective motion away from their position. The beams kept coming while the girls were trying to protect themselves with the particle shields that Coran had given them in their bracelets.

"NAKIA!" Clara yelled, seeing a shot coming right at them. Seeking power, Nakia used a wave of magic to deflect the beam. Giving an opening for the others to pin some guys down in the process. She had to concentrate to let Lance leave.

"Watch your back!" She informed with a serious tone. They all nodded, preparing for the next upcoming wave.

"What the quiznak are you doing?!" Lance grabbed Nakia by the shoulders, shaking her slightly. "You shouldn't be here, all of you!"

Nakia put her hand on his, taking them off her shoulders. His serious gaze reminded her of her assistant. She giggled a bit, to which he pouted.

"I'm serious!" He warned.

"I know you are." She smiled, then frowned. "Just shut up and trust me."

Her words shook Lance hard. It made him remember the stunt Keith had done when they were escaping the Garisson trucks when they were saving Shiro. She said the same words as Keith. Was she insane? She must have hit her head when she landed or something. Nakia knocks on his helmet like a door. "You go back to Blue once there is an opening. I can't afford to lose another you."

Lance stood still with his eyes wide open. "Nakia! The next wave is here! We could use a little help here!" Clara called. Nakia ran up to them, joining them in the circle formation where they remembered the last training session they had from Coran.

Jump, roll and counter-attack. This is the Altean way to take down an enemy. Also, a pretty useful way to open a path for a comrade in the wild. Plus, make sure to show what you are made of!

"I can't believe we'll be using Coran's fight formation." Clara declared.

"Are you sure it'll be worth it?" Leila asked, ready with her little gun up.

"Come on! It can be fun and educational. Plus, it gives us an advantage since the others didn't learn about it." Roe said with sparkles in her eyes. Lance groaned in the back. The troops arrived, charging towards the girls. As they approached, the Squad jumped up and surprised the enemy, knocking them back into a pile.

The Galra are knocked aside leaving a big opening path for Lance to escape.

"Move your behind, idiot!" Clara yelled at Lance, who snapped back to reality. He ran across the field were the Blue Lion roughly landed, opening its mouth to let him in. After a few minutes he was back in the air with the others.

"I'm back guys!" Lance announced. "The girls are doing okay for now, but we should stay close."

"Glad to have you back Lance. We could use your help to take down the fleet and make sure the cruiser doesn't approach the planet just yet. As soon as the skies are clear, we'll form Voltron and get the girls back."

Everyone agreed on the plan, dispersing across the sky. Coran was able to land an escape pod to greet some citizens. Clara and Leila guided the escapees to the ship. Feeling a shockwave, the girls hurried the last ones aboard. A weird sensation gets Nakia's soul sensor off chart. She turned around, trying to figure out what it was.
