The Paladins had search everywhere in town but to no luck Keith was gone no where to be found disappeared gone lost vanished and they had no clues because when Keith disappeared no one was with him he was alone and everyone were blaming themselves shiro trained harder and you could see the stress on his face pidge seemed to lose her spunk she couldn't tease hunk and Lance was too emotional without Keith so she just seemed to disappear Keith would always let people just play around with him not giving them a response just letting them let out a little bit of annoyance just being there for people without them even knowing helping with the smaller things knowing when the jokes goes to far and when to stop it giving people the satisfaction of a response when their feeling down pidge also didn't really talk to anyone either just talking when spoken to hunk seemed to be way more forgetful or just plain clumsy lost in thought out of it gone allura and Coran were the same except they spent all their time looking for Keith and monitors calling different kingdoms tpvoltron has alliances with about searching they were looking for any clues upon Keith's whereabouts but none came up Lance was the worst when it came to changes he was broken Keith was like glue to all of the teammates making little sacrifices always helping when no one wanted to being selfless and Lance didn't even realize it Lance was feeling grief how couldn't he have noticed all the things Keith did for everyone Keith would always restock the food making it so it was never empty but since he was gone the pantry was almost always empty Keith would clean up the training areas and bathrooms even lances but now that he was gone lances bathroom was a mess and the training deck looked disgusting but of course no one stepped up no one took charge no one

Keith was lime invisible glue to the rest of the team Lance always thought he would just train in his free time but Lance found out that in his free time Keith would help everyone else doing the others chores that should be evenly distributed but he did them all without even a thanks In stead he was actually lectured for never giving himself breaks by the rest of the Paladins all of this made everyone feel terrible about themselves they were so hard on Keith when Keith was already pushing himself everyone in the castle was drained they all just felt bad with poor hygiene and bad morals bringing them down when they heard a voice through the coms

"Paladins report to the control room immediately" everyone started making their way to the control room slowly but surely with pidge being the last one when they reached the control room a face was shown on the board obviously a recording

" hello members of Voltron I am lotor now before you go ending this message I have something or shou do I say someone you all might want to see first...'late said while wearing this disgusting face that made Lance wanna puke

But Beefore the Paladins could say anything a merman was pushed infront of the camera he had a mullet with lavender eyes pale skin a black tail that shin a dim violet and handcuffs over his irritated wrists he looked to have eye bags but the lighting was horrible so they could barely tell all they could tell was Keith did not look good he had scratches and cuts over parts of his body as if he had been in a fight and the end of his Tail was a little torn meaning that he wasn't in good enough waters for his health recently

The lotor spoke " yes he's an excellent fighter put him up against my strongest fighters and he won with no broken bones " that's when Lance started to scan Keith's body for injuries looking for any bad bruises or anything nothing looked serious but that's when Lance noticed Keith had his middle fingers up behind his back this immediately made Lance laugh which made everyone look at him disapprovingly

" l-look*snicker*a-a-at Keith's h-handsssssss" Lance said in between giggles that when everyone started laughing even when Keith is prisoner his emo even when he's been in an arena to fight for the death or who knows what else he always looks for a way to hate someone and that gave everyone hope that they would find keith

Love ya <3
