Chapter 9: Suiting Up
Your POV:
Everyone has returned from their quests for the lions. Please come to the bridge of the castle.
As soon as I heard the words, I started racing towards the bridge and hoped I remembered where it was located. After a few wrong turns, I made it there. It looked like Keith hadn't gotten here yet, so I was able to silently boast that I was there before Keith. To my demise, Keith soon arrived and I had to stop my mind-boasting.
After Keith arrived, Allura turned to Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, and Lance. "I'm glad that you were all successful. Did you have any troubles?"
Lance spoke first. "Yeah, you might want to redefine the word 'peaceful'," Hunk silently agreed by nodding.
Pidge and Shiro both looked at each other smirking before Pidge said, "Yeah, we had a hard time as well,"
"Have you located the Red Lion yet?" Shiro asked.
"Yes. Allura just located it. There's a bit of good news and bad news," Coran said. "The good news is, the Red Lion's nearby. The bad news is, it's onboard that Galran ship now orbiting Arus,"– Coran's mien changed to an excited look–"But good news again! We're Arus!"
"They're here already?!" Shiro and I exclaimed in sync.
"Yes. I guess my calculations were a bit off. Finger counting–it's more of an art than a science,"
All of the sudden, a huge screen appeared on the window of the bridge. It looked like the bigger version of a FaceTime call. On the screen, it showed a Galra with an eye covered in some sort of cyborg thing.
"Princess Allura," the Galra commander spoke, "this is Commander Sendak of the Galran Empire. I come on behalf of Emperor Zarkon, Lord of the Known Universe. I am here to take the lions from you. Turn them over to me, or I will destroy your planet," After Sendak said this, he disappeared.
"No way in Hell," I said as I slowly started to get more and more pissed.
"All right, let's not panic," Shiro said to everyone as Hunk was obviously starting to panic. After he said that, Hunk started going on about how we only have three working lions and that we couldn't form Voltron. Pretty soon, everyone but Keith, Shiro, and I were arguing. Everyone started talking about how they could defend the castle while Lance flirted with Allura.
While they were arguing, I started thinking of ways that we could do everything. While Lance and Hunk wanted to get into a wormhole and live, Pidge and Keith on the other hand, wanted to stay and fight to protect Arus.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I'm with Keith." I said butting in, "We can't just abandon this planet so that Zarkon can add another world to his list of worlds that he's taken control of."
"Yes. It's our only option," Keith said.
"Here's an option:" Lance said to Keith, "shut your quiznak," Allura and Coran looked starstruck at Lance's choice of words.
"I don't think you're using that word correctly,"
They continued to argue until their foreheads were against each other. If I had just walked into the room, it would have looked like they were about to kiss in anger. {I ship it so much} Thanks to my short patience, I started to get really mad at them for arguing at a time like this.
"STOP!" I shouted at both of them. They turned to me, dumbfounded. "As much as I love seeing Keith being shouted at, arguing won't solve anything in this situation,"–I looked at Shiro–"Shiro, do you have any ideas?"
"I say that we stay and fight. Here's what I have in mind," Shiro said, starting to explain his plan.

"Will I have any armor?" I asked Allura. We were in the armory as everyone was getting their armor on.
"Yes. We have a few extra sets of armor." Allura answered, "Follow me." Allura turned around as I followed her to a separate room. It had different sets of armor along the wall. Each one was similar, they just contained several variations of color or patterns.
"Is there a certain set that catches your eye?" Allura asked me as I looked around the room.
My eyes eventually set onto a black and white suit. It looked just like the other suits; however, instead of the background color being white, it was black and the main color was white. It was unique, and that's what I liked about the armor. It reminded me of Yin and Yang, with the perfect balance of both white and black.
"I like that one," I said, walking up to the unique armor.
"Good choice. I'll leave you be so that you can try it on and see if it works on you," Allura turned to leave.
I turned to the suit of armor and slowly reached my hand out to open the chamber. As I held out my hand, my sleeve rolled down to show a scar that went from the start of my wrist to the beginning of my thumb. When I saw it, I stopped as memories started flooding back to me.
"You're worth nothing,"
"You can't do anything right,"
"I wish you could just go die,"
"You were a mistake that was never meant to happen,"
Those memories are what had gotten me into an adoptive home. The story that came behind the scar had two components: a very drunk and angry father and an empty wine bottle. My biological parents never wanted to spend more money on me then they had to, so they didn't send me to the hospital to get stitches.
This was why I needed to fight. I needed to fight for those who couldn't protect themselves. The people who couldn't fight.
Without hesitation, I quickly opened the door to the armor and put it on. It was hard to figure out at first, but eventually, I was able to get it. After finishing getting on the armor, I exited the room. I saw the others with their armor on, getting ready to board the lions and execute the plan.
This was one hell of an adventure.
Hey guys! So... basically what I have planned for this series is that there's going to be a different book for each season of the original show. The very first episode, or the movie, of the show, is what this book is based on. I have ideas for what the titles of the next few books are, and here they are:
Volume 1: Unexpected
Volume 2: Somewhat Expected
Volume 3: Expected
Volume 4: Forget it ALL
Volume 5: WTF Is Happening???
Volume 6: Getting It Togeth-- Nevermind
If you like these ideas, just let me know. For now, I'll write for you guys later! Bye!
