The Gray Lion? [Keith X Reader]

Chapter 2: Some Assembly Required

"WHERE IS MY LITTLE DOLL!" I yelled as I threw things all over the place. I was beyond furious, she was supposed to arrive, yet she still hadn't come. I felt like I was growing weak as I wasn't getting any of her energy.

"Haggar! Where is she!? Sendak has failed to send her back to me?! Have one of your druids go on the ship with what you have come up with to get my doll back and capture Voltron." I had steam coming out of my head as I couldn't control my anger.

"Emperor Zarkon, sending in one of my druids is unnecessary. I can send in my creation to bring Voltron and your precious little doll."

"Then do it quickly," I said with anger.

I need her power.

We were training to become a team, but we took a break in the training room. I couldn't stop thinking of the girl who saved Pidge and me while on Sendak's ship. I was so zoned out that I didn't hear Allura coming in.

"What are you doing lying around? You're supposed to be training!" Allura said as I saw her put both hands on her hips.

"Allura, does Zarkon have a daughter?" I asked.

"What?! No, why are you asking that silly kind of a question?"

"When Shiro and I were on Sendak's ship, we helped the prisoners escape but met a group there. It was a group of Galras, but they dressed a little bit differently. We didn't realize they were protecting a girl until we heard her yell..." Pidge said as she adjusted her glasses.

"Awww, man! I missed the chance to see a girl! Was she pretty, Pidge?" Lance asked as he was right in front of her, not letting her finish talking. Pidge gave him the "Are you serious?" look.

"One of them called her Princess when she told them to stop fighting. But the thing is... She didn't look like Galra; she looked like one of us. Human." Pidge continued to finish her sentence as she pushed Lance's face away.

"Wait, does this mean Zarkon has been on Earth before?" Hunk asked as he was freaking out about the thought of the evil alien Emperor being on Earth.

"This doesn't make sense, Princess... Zarkon having a daughter?" Coran asked, confused while looking at Allura.

"If that's the case, then we have another thing to worry about." Princess Allura said with spite.

"But she let us leave Sendak's ship, and I felt like she didn't know who we were. So why would she be helping us?" Pidge said as she was holding her glasses.

"She probably planned it with Zarkon. They want us to fall into his trap. We must not trust her! Whatever the case may be, we can wait. You guys need to be able to form Voltron. Now get up, you lazy lamps! It's time you faced the Gladiator!" Princess Allura said, her hands forming into fists and her knuckles turning white, just her merely thinking about Zarkon.

I fluttered my eyes open as I heard people whispering, but everything was blurry. I rubbed my eyes to see clearly. I noticed my head was on Korus's leg as he slept against a tree. I shifted my head to see that Cree and everyone else were across from us, talking about something. I slowly got up, which made Korus wake up from his sleep.

"Princess, you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" Korus asked in a groggy tone as he was woken up.

"I'm feeling okay, Korus. Is Kapono okay?!" I asked as I remembered what I had done. Before Korus could respond, I heard multiple heavy footsteps. I turned my head to see all of them rushing toward me. The next thing I know, Kapono is hugging me.

"Princess, I don't know what to say but thank you. I didn't deserve for you to save me. I'm glad that you're okay, though." Kapono said that; he came out of the hug and looked into my eyes. I could tell that he was forever grateful for my action. 

"Princess, when did you have powers like that?" Kenu whispered as we were all huddled in a circle as they were making sure no one was listening in.

"Since I can remember, but father said never to use it and show it to people because when I was younger, someone tried to kill me to use my powers for themself." As I said, I saw a guilty look in everyone's eyes but thought that was my imagination.

"W-Where are we?" I asked as I looked around at where we were. We were outside on an upper cliff under a tree.

"After you passed out, Voltron attacked the ship, and we had to escape. Sendak took us into his last escape pod, which landed us on planet Arus." Dewei said, and I looked at my other bodyguards. I noticed how badly Wren, Rehan, and Dario were still severely injured.

"Let me heal you guys too. It'll be better if you guys are 100% so you can protect me." I said, trying to convince them to let me heal, but they were all still hesitant to let me heal them.

"Princess, you'll faint again; we cannot let that happen. It's not safe." Korus said as he grabbed your arm gently, making you look him straight into his eyes. You knew he was right, but the guilt of your bodyguards being injured was winning by far.

"It's okay, Korus! I want to heal you guys! Please... I feel horrible that you guys got injured, and I'll take a break if I'm too exhausted!" I begged as I clasped my hands together in front of my bodyguards. As I was in that position, I used my puppy dog's eyes to let them allow me to do it. After a few seconds, they all caved in on letting me heal them. So I would do one at a time, and the rest would surround us to protect my secret and ensure no one was in sight.

I watched as Haggar used her powers to let her creation become one. Watching her do that, I was zoned out about my little doll.

I need quintessences from my doll. I should have never let her go to that ship. She could've been back right now, and I could've felt better. Don't worry, my little doll. You'll return to me soon, and we'll be together again. We'll make new memories together once you're back safely.
