Lances pov

My eyes open and I'm met with a blinding light, I blink a few times and soon the light has dulled to the point where I could see the tile of the ceiling and the man in a hazmat suit next to me.

....wait.

I pull my arms up but they get held back by a chain. I look at myself and see my legs strapped to the table along with my arms.

"H-hey!"I shout. What gives?! I though the garrison was on our side!

"Ah, mr.mcclain, sorry for the rash actions we had to take but we just couldn't risk you running or fighting back."a man says as he enters the room. His hazmat suit making the voice echo slightly.

"What's going on! You better not have touched the others!"I shout moving my arms again to see if I could break the binding on them.

"No, no we would never think of hurting them. We needed to use one of you to test our theory on and you seemed the most...replaceable." He says and looks down at his clip board. I feel my heart fall slightly...at least my team won't get hurt.

"What theory?"i ask my voice having deflated.

"We believe the chemicals from space has altered your physical matter to be flexible enough to change shape."he says and he pulls out two needles.

"No! Wait please!"I shout now shaking my figure in hopes to get free. I don't want to change shapes! I feel a stabbing pain in my head, I try to look up but he tells me no. Then I feel pain in my abdomen, I stay completely still in fear that if I shift the needles will rip my skin to a point of fatal wounds. I feel tears start to form in my eyes and I bite my lip to try and keep any noise away.

"Now...this is going to hurt, but it will be worth it."he says. I feel different jolts run through my body, I was shaking on the table, I felt like there was a fire on my spine and different knives plunging into different spots on my person. My skin felt as if every little strand was being torn apart. I let out a scream of pain and the tears in my eyes fell. Finally it ended and my screaming died down.

I was breathing rapidly, my arms felt numb and my skin felt fuzzy like little needles had been stuck into them.

I went to yell at them but all that would come out is a grown, I realised I was no longer laying on the metal table on my back but on my stomach, i had much more hair and I was blue. I stand up off the table and look down at myself, instead of hands and feet I had paws, I could feel a scratchy mane on my skin and I could now control a tail.

I was an deep blue lion. I jump off the bed and run out of the room, I run down hallways until I see him. He was talking to James a happy smile on his face and slight pink tint resting on his cheeks.

I run up behind the black paladin and cower behind him.

"Hey there big guy, wow blue...you don't normally see blue lions."keith says turning around to face me. He pets me a little but soon our attention is taken to the shouting men in hazmat suits.

"We need you to back up from the lion."a man says.

"What why?"keith asks. I glance at James he has backed up and looks at me in fear.

"He is an experiment, he could be dangerous."the say.

"Awe, I don't think he could be dangerous. Look at him."keith says and rubs my ear, I lean into his touch enjoy the feeling of being scratched behind the ear. I noise emits from me and I realize I'm purring.

"It doesn't matter what you think, hand him over."they say one reaching for a gun.

"Whoah! Whoah! Hold on a minute, that is not how we do it! He is an innocent animal now back the fuck off...come on buddy."Keith's says leading me along with him by his hand. I follow him through the hallways till we make it to his room.

"Sometimes people are so insensitive."keith says rolling his eyes as he shuts the door.

He sits on the floor and go up to him and sit next to him, he laughs and rubs my head, the most perfect smile on his face.

"I should show you to lance, he would love you."he says, I feel my heart drop, crap how am I supposed to get back to normal? How am I supposed to be a part of Voltron?!

I could feel the panic rising, hopefully this wears off.

Time skip

I watch as pidge searches her computers a tired look on her face.

"You find him yet?"keith asks entering the room, pidge shakes her head no and guilt sets uneasily in my stomach.

It hasn't worn off yet and they had been searching day and night for me.

"I never....i never though he would leave, he talked about how he thought he was a seventh wheel...about how the team would be better with out him....never thought he would take action on it though..."keith says looking down, I could see the tears pool in his eyes, I go up to him and rub against him in hopes of comforting him.

"Did you ever stop to think that maybe he left because he couldn't handle Voltron, that this was to much pressure on him. He was the weakest link in the group."pidge says and turning to look at Keith.

"I don't think we should track him down, if he wants to run away like a coward, then let him! I'm not wasteing any more of my time on that waste of space."pidge says and leaves Keith there. Keith's eyes well up with tears and he looks down at me.

"Do you think he would do that?"he asks me. I shake my head no.

"Ha...maybe...of course your only an animal, what would you know..."keith mutters and leaves me alone in the room. I could feel the guilt dancing up my spine leaving shivers with each step it takes, I could feel the guilt clawing inside of my stomach making it feel raw and out of place. I felt a tear in my larger eye and I cried...a stupid lion on the ground just crying...

Time skip

I watch as the team grows to despise me, they had replaced me with James and Keith had started getting closer to him, James could make him smile, and laugh, in ways I never could. Keith always tells me that James makes him feel like the most important person in the world, he gushed on and on about how wonderful he is and how much he adores him.

James was a better paladin than I was too, he was better at fighting, and shooting, he was better at flying red and he gets along better with the team, they adored him.

They kept me along the ship and took me with them on their adventures, they grew to love me...they could only truly love me when I couldnt speak, and couldn't mess up. Each moment of being awake was soul crushing, I could feel my heart get compressed by the weight of not being there, I want to be back to normal, to tell them I was there the whole time...but I couldn't, all I could do was watch from a distance as they got better without me.

Time skip

I walk into the garrison slowly remebering every single death, hunk was first, his cry's of pain lasted eternity and in the end he pleaded for death he said he would check for me in the other world, and he hopped to see me again.

Then pidge died, her screams didn't last long, she didn't get a chance to say any last words before her head was ripped clean off her body.

Next was allura and coran, they were on the ship when it was attacked, when me and Keith and James came back from our single mission we found them dead on the floor in the same room.

Then...shiro killed himself, left a note explaining how he couldn't stay any longer.

I would have done the same but I needed to look after keith, make sure he was alive.

That's when Keith and James died, in one last attempt to finish off the galra empire they failed, the died in each other's arms, and I had to watch as they said their last I love you's.

I watch the life get sucked out of the eyes of the man I love.

We got new paladins,they were clueless and needed people to teach them the ropes. I entered the garrison and hoped they would find me and do experiments on me to fix this.

Soon they find me and tie me into the table, once I am turned back all I say is that I can teach the new paladins, and they allow it.

The paladins were gathered in a room and I walk in.

"I am lance McClain former blue paladin before I was experimentally torchered and ripped away from my team."I say as I enter the room, they look up at me fully paying attention.

"We will start with the 5 rules first.

1. this is war, if you have time to laugh then you can leave.

2. you work as a team, no lies no secrets.

3. You are all replaceable,earn your place.

4.trust no one but your teammates, and even then be warry.

5.what ever you do, never get attached to people.

Any questions, no great, let's get started."
