"Assuming we can get it back up, the repairs will still take time," informed Pidge.
"Which would appear to be the one thing we don't have," explained Lance as the planet was dissolving.
"We need to slow donw the shedding," remarked Shiro.
"How do you stop a planet that's coming apart at the seams," intervened Pidge.
"By sewing it back together," asnwered Hunk.
"Wha-what do you mean," asked Shiro.
"That new Green Lion weapon causes vegetation to grow, right? Well, I was thinking that if you aim it at the cracks on the planet the vines could act as stitches," explained Hunk.
"But won't the stitches get dissolved by the acid," I asked.
"The stitches might hold longer if they are frozen," added Pidge.
"It's a plan. Hunk, you and I will take our Lions and get this ark upright while Pidge and Lance will buy us some time," informed Shiro.
"My side's clear, Shiro," indicated Hunk.
"Almost done,"informed Shiro.
"Yes. It worked," said Pidge.
"It won't hold forever. Keep going," I ordered.
"All right, Hunk. Time to work on those engines," said Shiro.

"Well, it ain't pretty but it should get you airborne-" said Hunk to Baujal before a new crack appeared near us.
"Just in time," commented Shiro.

I decided to go in the Ark to comfort the Taujeerians who were afraid. The ark was finally flying but crashed on the planet because of a Galra attack.

"What was that," I asked panicking.
"The Galra. They're back. Hunk take the Yellow Lion and hold up the ark! If it falls into the acid, the Tauljeerians are doomed," ordered Shiro.
"Not to mention the guy beneath them, which would be me in this particular scenario," added Hunk.
"Lance, Pidge, we've got to draw the cruiser's fire. Coran we need you here now. Attack the Galra cruiser," added my brother.
"I'm on my way," indicated Coran.

"They're aiming the ion cannon at the ark! Lance, Pidge, attack the ship with your jaw blades," shouted Shiro.

The ion cannon shoot the frozen vines with a super strenght and send rocks flying right onto us.

"Rocks," I yelled.
"I got you, baby," said Lance as he and Pidge destroyed the rocks.
"Hunk, what's your status," asked Shiro.
"Mostly just trying not to fall into a bubbling pot of acid," answered Hunk.
"Y/N, how are the Taujeerians?"
"Scared but unarmed. At least for now."
"We're being overwhelmed," shouted Lance.
"We need Voltron," informed Pidge.
"Oh, if only there were another who could pilot the Red Lion," said Coran. "Finally Alfor, I will walk in your footsteps," exclamed Coran. "Oh, Red Lion, I am unworthy to be your paladin, bur since you've chosen to bestow this honor upon me, Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe, I humbly accept."

What is he saying? Then, out of nowhere, I felt something invading my mind. A strange sensation. I'm bringing him back to you, it's what this thing that had invaded my mind said. What was that?

"Uh, okay, guys? So, uh, the Red Lion ran away," informed Coran.
"I can't hold it any longer," grunted Hunk.
"Hunk, you have to! If you let go the Taujeerians will die," I yelled.
"Oh whoa! Armor claws," shouted Hunk. "Guys, I can keep this thing from falling farther but I need your help to get it back up," indicated Hunk.
"We're on our way," informed Shiro.
"Shiro, they're aiming the ion cannon back," I said.

Bust before the Galra could shoot, the Red Lion appeared and destroyed tge Ion cannon.

"Good to have you back, Keith," said Shiro.
"Good to be back," he answered back.
"Is the Princess with you," asked Lance.
"Yes."
"Like 'with you' with you or-"
"Keith? Little help," asked Hunk.
"On my way, buddy."

"All right, everybody. No time to relax. Let's show them what they're dealing with," said Shiro. "Form Voltron!"

"They're heading for the ark," yelled Pidge.
"They're gonna ram it," added Hunk.
"We'll have to meet thel head-on! Form sword," shouted Shiro.
"Will the sword will be able to cut through an entire battle cruiser," asked Lance.
"It'll have to! We can't let Y/N and the Taujeerians be hit by the cruiser," said Shiro.
"Wait, Y/N is in there," yelled Keith.
"Yes," said Lance, "and I won't let her be hurt! Guys, my Lion is telling me to do something!"
"Yeah, mine too," added Keith.
"I can feel it too," informed Pidge.
"Same here," said Hunk.
"Then do it," ordered Shiro.

The scale of the sword evolved and was gigantic. With this sword, they were able to cut the ship easily like butter.

"Now let's get the Taujeerians to safety," said Shiro.
"How are we going to do that? Their boosters rockets are shot," explained Hunk.
"Then we will send them to their moon by ourselves."

Back to the Castle

"I'm so sorry for leaving," apologized Allura.
"Me too. We thought we were doing the right thing," explained Keith.
"But clearly, you were correct Shiro. We are always stronger together," noticed Allura.
"At least we learned Zarkon isn't tracking us through you two," said Lance.
"Plus, I learned that my Lion can grow armor and extend his claws like that... ting! Which will come in handy if we ever needed to, say, I don't know, slice up a giant steak while getting beat up. Or fight evil and save innocent people. That too. That would work," added Hunk.
"The fact that the Red Lion came to help Keith from so far away is a vital piece of information," continued Shiro. "We now have proof that a Lion and a Paladin can, in fact, connect over a far greater distance than we realized. Which means we finally know how Zarkon is tracking us. It's through the Black Lion."

Keith POV

When everyone left to their rooms, I decided to go check on Y/N since she was on the ship, I thought she could have been hurt and knowing her she wouldn't tell anyone about it. But I didn't imagine a single second to find Y/N hugging Lance just after she left his room.

Is... is Lance and Y/N... together?
