Hiya! It's going to be a long chapter so you have been warned! I hope it's enjoyable! I tried not to go by the Voltron story line too much but still I wanted to incorporate it in somehow! I hope I wrote this okay. I've been having doubts about my writing lately but I'm sure it's fine. Enjoy! 💜
Edit: Also there's one line in this chapter that refers to Lance speaking Spanish. I want everyone to know that I am not fluent in Spanish but I know a lot of phrases so I am sorry if it is incorrect. I have had multiple people comment different ways and I am now saying please stop because I don't know what right anymore and I've had enough of trying to find the right phrase. I can't seem to make people happy with what's there so please just read past it. I am sorry if that sounds mean at all but I am tired okay? Mentally I'm not doing so great so please forgive me.
And so it continues....

Your POV
Your eyes widened as they drifted up looking at the mechanical blue lion. You got up and slowly walked closer to it. You stared at it in amazement, the thing was a huge blue lion! There seemed to be a force field around it as you placed your hand on it. When you did a rippling effect surrounded the surface where your hand was. Everybody behind you gasped as they realized it was here.
"I-is that it? Is that Voltron?" Pidge said with excitement laced in his voice.
"It has to be.." Shiro said at loss for words. Keith began walking over to you and stood next to you.
"This must be where all that crazy energy is coming from" He stated placing his hands on the force field. "I wonder how we get through this..?" He questioned moving his hands around. Lance came up behind you and lifted his hand up to the force field.
"Maybe we just have to knock, (Y/N) wanna try it with me?" He asked looking at you with his big ocean blue eyes. You nodded your head and lifted your hand, both you and Lance gave it a nice light knock. After you both lifted your hands away the force field disappeared in a blast of blue fragments. Lance turned to look at you and you turned to look at him. You both smiled wildly at each other. The lion stood up tall and roared so loud you'd think it'd break you ear drums. You ducked, your hands racing to your ears to at least try and drown out the loudness. Once the lion stood still and quiet, your hands dropped to your sides, the lion bent down, lowering its head in front of Lance. He stared at it with wide eyes. It's mouth opened revealing stairs, Lance turned to look at everyone before he ran in.
"Lance wait!" Shiro yelled. He ran past you grabbing your hand and dragging you with him. You stumbled almost falling flat on your face as you were just standing before but you soon gained your balance. The others raced inside after you.
As you got to the cockpit of the lion, you watched Lance sit in the seat, that was oh so conveniently placed in the middle of the floor. When he did the seat blasted forward, making Lance yelp with surprise. He soon recovered and took a hold of the controls in front of him.
"Careful Lance.." You warned side glancing at him.
"Relax babe, I got this." He winking at you. You rolled your eyes crossing your arms, stepping closer to Shiro, who standing next to you. He protectively placed a hand on your waist. You tilted your head up to look at his face. He was glaring at Lance with his eyebrow raised. You giggled lightly making him look down at you.
"What?" He questioned confusion swimming in his eyes.
"Mr. jealous.." You teased smirking.
"I'm not jealous (Y/N)" He barked back
"Oh okay sure...continue to glare at Lance then" You motioned to Lance with your hand. Shiro huffed out some air, his arm tightening around your waist. You looked up at him and kissed his jaw gently causing him to have a ghost of a smile on his face. The others were coming in behind you admiring the inside of the blue lion as they did. It was mainly Pidge, he was zooming around looking at everything but Hunk and Keith were taking it in also. Shiro's arm loosened around your waist and his hand just rested on your butt. You were surprised but smiled up at him and he smiled gently down at you. The others didn't know about you two yet and you wanted to keep it that way for now.
Keith glanced at you both and took it all in. He looked down towards your butt and saw Shiro's hand resting there. He then looked up at your face and you were smiling at Shiro. He looked away sharply with a sad expression looming over his face.
You turned around to say something to Keith but you then saw how hurt he looked. You tilted your head in confusion as you looked at him.
"Keith, are you okay?" You said moving away from Shiro. He looked down at his feet and nodded his head.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" You insisted, placing a hand on his shoulder. He sharply pulled away from your touch.
"I said I'm fine!" He yelled. You flinched at his sudden outburst. You stepped away from him and went back to Shiro.
"Okay, I'm sorry for caring..." You muttered under your breath. Shiro looked back at Keith with an angry expression etched onto his face, he was about to go talk to him when you stopped him.
"It's okay Shiro, please don't" You whispered shaking your head. He nodded his head and stood still beside you.
"Hey guys!" Lance yelled
"What?!" You all yelled back playfully
"Let's' try this lion out!" He said happily pushing the handles forward. The lion came to life and crashed through the cave wall. You almost fell over due the sudden movement, you stumbled loosing your footing as you closed your eyes bracing for the impact of the cold hard floor but it never came. You cracked your left eye open slightly. Shiro had caught you and was holding you up.
"Thanks" You laughed out, moving out of his arms.
"No problem." He smiled down at you, then his face hardened "Try not to kill us Lance!" He yelled at the boy.
"I'm sorry! But I'm not flying this thing, it's like it's on auto pilot!" He said trying to move the gear sticks, they were stuck in place. You gripped the side of the seat Lance was sitting in, tightly. Your fingers almost going through the fabric.
"Can you at least slow it down? It's going really fast. Not that I mind I mean I like fast" You asked hoping he could somehow slow it down a little.
"Oh you like it fast do you?" He smirked
"Lance! Focus!" Keith yelled angrily ready to smack the boy upside the head.
"Okay! okay! Sorry. But I don't think I can!" He panicked trying everything. The lion crashed into the ground, claws scraping the rocks trying to get a good footing. It then launched itself upwards spiraling into the sky.
"Make it stop, make it stop" Hunk mumbled through his hand, about to puke. You looked over at him and gave him a sympathetic look. He nodded his head towards you in thanks.
"I can't! I'm not making it do anything! It said there's an alien ship approaching earth and I think it wants us to stop it" Lance said with a straight face.
"What did it say exactly?" Pidge said annoyed
"Well its not like its saying words, more like feeding ideas into my brain" Lance explained. Hunk jumped in on the conversation.
"Well if this thing is what they are coming for, why don't we just give it to them?" Shiro stood straight with an angry look on his face.
"You don't understand, these monsters spread like a plague throughout the galaxy, destroying everything in their path, there's no bargaining with them. They won't stop until everything is dead" He said glaring at Hunk. You put a hand on his chest making him look down at you.
"Calm down okay? He didn't know.." You spoke softly. His eyes softened when he looked at you. He whispered a small sorry before looking at Hunk again.
"Oh...never mind then.." Hunk said with scared eyes.
Before you knew it, the lion was floating in space. Your eyes widened as you saw a huge ship coming towards you.
"Lance! Move the lion!" You yelled grabbing at the boys hair. He grumbled in pain as your fingers tightened around the small strands.
"I can't! Remember they're stuck!" He said panicking.
"Just try!" You said fear lacing your words. He moved the gear sticks and surprisingly they moved and the lion shifted to the left.
"Holy shit! You did it!!....wait.....I-is that really an alien ship?!" You exclaimed with fear swimming in your eyes. Shiro visibly tensed beside you. He mumbled something under his breath that you didn't quite catch before the ship start firing shots at you. Lance yelled "hang on" while he dodged the shots left and right. The boosters on the lions rear kicked in and she zoomed forward out of the way of the fire.
"I think I know what to do!" Lance exclaimed moving the gear sticks and leaning forward.
"Be careful Lance! This isn't a simulator!" You said grabbing the seat for support. Shiro's metal arm gripped the ceiling, his other arm wrapped itself around your waist. Although you were to panicked to even notice.
"Well that's good! I always wreck the simulator!" Lance laughed. He skillfully dodged the shots gaining some ground, getting closer to the ship. He slammed the left gear stick forward and a huge laser beam shot out of the lions mouth. He dragged the beam across the side of the ship making explosions become visible where he hit it. He then drew the sticks back and shot them both forward making the lion dash to the ship. You felt the claws of the lion dig into the ships side before they dragged across it. As you flew away you saw the explosions behind you.
"Oh my god Lance you did it!!!" You yelled throwing your arms around the Cuban boy. He chuckled and patted your hands with one of his.
"Why thank you fair maiden.." He said with a flirtatious tone. You slapped him playfully on the shoulder.
"Would you stop that?" You said giggling lightly.
"Stop what?" He said glancing at you. You shook your head and he laughed.
"Let's gets these guys away from our planet" You said to Lance and he agreed flying the lion away from Earth. The ship followed behind you closely but they weren't firing at you anymore. 'They aren't firing at us anymore just following us? They really do want this lion' you thought to yourself.
"Where are we?" Keith asked out of the blue.
"I think we're at the edge of the solar system...There's Kerberos" Shiro said with amazement
"It takes us months for our ships to get out here. We got here in seconds. That's not possible" You said looking at out the window, which you assumed was the lions eyes. You jumped back when a huge wormhole looking thing popped out of nowhere right in front of you.
"Uh is that a wormhole?" You asked
"I believe so" Shiro said staring at it.
"Where will it-" You got cut off by Lance.
"Uh guys! I think the lion wants us to go through it!"
"What are you crazy?!" Keith said "Move the sticks! We can't go through it!"
Lance tried moving the gear sticks, but again they were locked in place.
"They're stuck again!" He yelled panicked. "(Y/N), Shiro, what do we do?" He glanced back at you both. You looked at Shiro and he looked at you. You nodded your head.
"Whatever is happening, the lion must know more than we do. So I think we should trust it, but we're a team now and we should decide together." You said looking at them all. They all looked around at each other. Keith grumbled an okay towards you.
"I guess you guys are skipping class tomorrow" You chuckled. Lance let the lion go through the wormhole. The pressure and shaking was almost unbearable as you traveled through it. But you soon popped out the other side. Wherever you were, it was nowhere near Earth. Shiro looked around at all the stars.
"I don't recognize any of these constellations, I don't think we are even in Earth's solar system anymore" He said amazed, his eyes were wide and wondering all over the darkness you called the sky. The stars were shimmering brightly in the black blanket of nothing. Your breath was taken away by how beautiful it was. You absolutely loved the stars.
"It's beautiful..." You breathed out, your eyes glued to the stars. Shiro came up behind you and rested his hand on your hip.
"Reminds me of when we'd go up to the roof" He whispered into your ear, kissing behind it. You blushed lightly at his gesture, moving out of his reach. You gave him a look that said "Not here!" and he laughed softly nodding his head.
"It really is beautiful..." Keith said gently coming up to you. "I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier, I really didn't mean to" He said looking at you with apologetic eyes.
"Oh Keith it's okay!" You exclaimed wrapping your arms around his neck. He stiffened, surprised by the sudden contact but he soon relaxed and wrapped his arms around your waist. Once you let go, he stepped back and stood beside Shiro.
"It reminds me of the night before we left the Garrison" He spoke gently, the night reminiscing in his eyes. You could tell he missed that. After you guys found the shack you sort of shut yourself off from the world.
"That was a good night wasn't it?" You smiled brightly at the boy.
"What night?" Shiro cut in with a jealous look on his face.
"After you left for Kerberos, Keith came down with a cold, so I helped him get better. And that night we went up to the roof and just stared at the stars, enjoying each other's company" You said smiling softly remembering what it felt like. Keith smiled gently at your facial expression. It was soft and relaxed as you thought about that night.
"Guys, sorry to ruin the moment, but there's a castle up ahead" Lance said pointing forward. You turned around and what you saw was amazing. A huge castle sat peacefully upon a mountain.
"Are we going to it?" You questioned
"I think so" Lance said curious of what we'd see and find inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The lion landed on the walkway to the castle. Up close it was even bigger than you thought. You stared at it, something about it looked so familiar but you couldn't pin point it.
The lion lowered its head and opened its mouth, allowing you and the others to exit. Once your feet hit solid ground you felt a little bit safer. Keith and Shiro came and stood on either side of you.
"Everyone okay?" Shiro asked looking back at Hunk, Lance and Pidge.
"Yeah, we're good!" They replied in sync. You turned your head to face the castle once again. It was absolutely astounding. The details that were shown on the outside were incredible. It really did give off a noble vibe. You almost jumped out of your own skin when the lion stood up straight and roared. As the roar came to an end, the castle doors opened.
"Woah.." You breathed, slowly walking towards the doors. Shiro caught your arm and held on tightly.
"Whoa hey! Where do you think your going?" He questioned "It may not be safe in there". You turned to face him. His hand gripped tighter at you arm. You winced as a sharp pain ran up your arm.
"Shiro you're hurting me..." You whispered looking down. He quickly let you go.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean..." He looked down at your arm. A red hand mark was starting to form. His facial features became sad as he looked at it. You walked up to him and placed a hand on the side of his face.
"It's okay, I was just going to the castle, the doors opened, and since the lion brought us here I thought we should check it out." You explained, gently stroking your thumb over his cheek. He placed his hand over yours and leaned into your touch.
"Okay let's all go though. It'll be safer that way" He said looking into your eyes. You nodded and let your hand drop from his face. You turned around and headed for the doors.
~~~~~~~~~~~
You walked inside blinking a couple of times to get used to the darkness around you. You continued to walk a little further when a robotic voice said "Halt for identity scan". You stopped in the middle of the floor, startled. The floor around you started to light up, the lights glowing blue. A scanner rose from the floor and scanned up and down your body. Shiro and the others stood off to the side, watching. You looked around as small diamond shaped particles began to rise up off the floor, your hair rising with them, as if a cool breeze was lifting it up. You lifted your hand up to touch the particles floating around you. As your fingers collided with them they burst into smaller diamonds. You body began to lift of the floor. Shiro became worried while looking at your body start to lift off the ground. You closed your eyes as you felt a serge of energy shoot through your body. A burst of orange light surrounded you. It was so blinding that the others had to cover their eyes. As well as the burst of light there was a blast of wind that made everybody stumble and their hair flow within it.
"(Y/N)!!" They all yelled.
As the light faded, Shiro quickly locked his gaze onto your body, searching for anything. His eyes stopped on orange markings with a purple glow around them. They started to rise up from your back, continuing to rise to your neck stopping under your chin. He looked at them with confusion swimming in his eyes. Your eyes opened sharply another wave of light bursting through the room. You looked to your left, there were lights going down a hallway, lighting up one by one. Your golden eyes stared around in amazement, wondering what was happening. The scan stopped and your whole body gently floated back down to the floor. As your feet touched the floor you became dizzy. You glanced at Shiro and the others, their eyes widened as they saw your golden orbs, you blinked lazily swaying to the side. Shiro rushed up to you, catching you before you fell.
"¡¿Qué fue lo qué paso?!" You heard Lance yell in Spanish from behind you.
"Uh, Lance English please.." You heard Hunk say.
"I said, what just happened?!" He repeated gesturing towards you laying in Shiro's arms. Keith came over to you and helped you stand up. You looked at Lance, his face held panic and fear at the same time.
"Your freaking eyes were gold!" He said pointing at you.
"I-I d-don't know what happened.." You breathed out looking down at your hands, which were shaking.
"And w-what's on your neck..?" He stuttered. Your hand reached up to your neck. "What's on my neck?" You asked looking at Shiro with wide eyes.
"There's orange markings that glow purple...they sort of look like branches..I watched them rise up from your back.." He said gently moving your head to the side so he could get a better look. Your body shook violently.
"Can we just see what's inside this place..?" You mumbled avoiding Shiro's touch, walking towards the hallway. You swallowed quickly as you walked in front of the others. Your arms reached across your torso and gripped at your shirt. You heard footsteps get closer to you as you walked.
"Hey..." You heard a faint voice say. You glanced back over your shoulder to see Keith.
"Yeah..?" You said softly turning your head back to the front.
"You okay..?" He asked gently walking up beside you. You nodded your head.
"I will be once I know what's going on with me" You said choking on your own words. "It was beautiful in that circle with all the particles floating around me, but after my body lifted off the ground, I blacked out" Keith placed his arm around your shoulder. You looked at him with scared eyes. He looked forward while he talked.
"After your eyes closed there was a burst of orange light and a blast of wind, that came out of your body. It was too blinding to see what was happening, but after it faded we were able to see you just floating there. Then those markings rose up from your back, so there must be some there too" He said, explaining what happened. He then looked at you. You let out a breath that you didn't know you were holding. 'What's happening to me?' you thought.
"Thank you for telling me Keith" You said smiling sadly at him, he smiled back and squeezed your shoulder gently. You both stopped at the end of the hallway causing the others to stop behind you. You looked down at a staircase. You were the first person to set foot down it as the others followed slowly behind you.
"H-hello...?" You said, your voice cracking. As you reached the bottom of the stairs you walked around a corner and here was a room with a single, what you assumed to be, a control panel in the middle of it. When you walked into the room two pod type things rose out of the floor. You looked at them surprised tilting your head to the left in confusion.
"Are those dead people?!" Hunk whisper-yelled to everybody.
"No...I think they are cryogenic pods.." You said walking up to one. You placed a hand on the blurry blue glass. As soon as you did the one next to began to open. You quickly pulled your hand away. Lance was walking in front of it and got startled but caught a girl that fell out of it.
"Father!!" She breathed out reaching her hand out. She fell into Lances arms and he blushed all shades of red. The girl looked around dazed before she looked back at Lance.
"W-who are you? W-where am I?" She asked holding onto Lance for support. Lance smirked.
"Names Lance, and your right here in my arms" He said winking at her. She looked at him in disgust.
"Your ears....their hideous..." She said backing out of his arms. Lance looked at you with a shocked face. You shook your head not knowing what she was talking about. Now that she was in the light you looked at her more closely. She had long white hair, like you did. Dark skin, like you. Pointy ears, like you. Your breath caught in your throat the more you thought about it. The girl looked up at everyone.
"Who are all of you?! Where's King Alfor?! What are you doing in my castle?!" She yelled grabbing Lance by his ear and slamming him onto the ground. He groaned in pain and panic.
"A big blue lion brought us here, that's all we know!" He said quickly trying to get out of her grasp.
"The blue lion....why do you have the blue lion? What happened to its paladin?" She said confused. "Unless.....how long has it been?" She whispered. Shiro stepped forward to talk to her.
"We don't know why we're here, and we don't know why the lion brought us here, we don't know what you're talking about, but maybe you can tell us, you seem to know more about it, can you tell us who you are? Maybe we can help" He said gently. She let Lance go and stood up straight.
"I'm Princess Allura of planet Altea, I've got to find out where we are" She said walking over to the control panel. As she did the man in the cryogenic pod became free of its confinement. He flopped out lazily before he burst with energy.
"ENEMY COMBATANTS!!" He yelled lunching himself at Lance. Lance swiftly moved out of the way. Allura placed her hands on the control panel and the whole thing activated. She scrolled through everything and her eyes widened.
"It can't be....we've been asleep for 10,000 years?!" She said shocked looking over and the ginger haired man.
"Coran...Father....our planet...we're-"
As Allura backed up she removed her hands from the control panel, and glanced in your direction and her movements came to a complete stop. Her breath caught in her throat as a her hand found its way to cover her mouth to conceal her oncoming quiet sobs. When she removed her hand, her mouth hung open and her eyes were wide with surprise, tears welled up in her beautiful blue orbs. She redirected her course of action and walked over to you. You stood there frozen, your face overcome with confusion as she walked to you. You didn't know what was happening.
"(Y/N), what's wrong?" You heard Shiro say softly. You looked over at him.
"I-I..." You stuttered. You turned back to Allura as she got closer. She looked at you intently scanning over your face, taking in every detail. She breathed out in shock as she reached her hand out to gently touch the side of your face. The tears from before now spilling out as she looked at you.
"Coran is this...Could it be...?" She said looking at him over her shoulder before her face turned back to you.
"(Y-y/N)? Sister is it really you?" She said quietly.
