On Atlas, the crew watches the Black Lion disappears on the opposite side of space. Shiro begins to worry for his adopted brother, hurt and turned into a Galra. Hoping that he would be alright. Shiro sighed, "Head course to Neo Altea," Shiro ordered. "We got a lot of work ahead of us, when we spread the news from there,"

"Yes sir," the crew replied.

"I'll leave you two in charge," Shiro spoke to Kolivan and Coran. "I'll be out for a moment,"

"Where are you going?" Kolivan asked,

"I'm going to check on the paladins," Shiro spoke. "And see what they got, with my own set of eyes."

"Alright," Kolivan nodded. "Take your time,"

"We'll be waiting for you when you're done," Coran added.

"Thanks," Shiro smiled. "I'll be back just a moment," then Shiro exit the deck.

When Shiro left, Coran looked down and noticed something is missing. "Strange," Coran looked around. "Where did the mice go?"

"They probably went to the kitchen," Kolivan suggested. "No doubt that they like to eat one of the Yellow Paladin's own cooking,"

"Supposed that you are right," Coran smiled. "Hope that won't startle the crew about their arrival,"

"Let's hope not," Veronica muttered to herself as she and the others went back to work.

At the hanger, the paladins and Matt has exited the lions. Taking their helmets off and nearly stared at the orb for a bit. Shiro entered the hanger, "Well done guys," Shiro smiled. "Not bad for the paladins and a rebel to be back on field after a full year,"

"Thanks Shiro," Pidge spoke. "But we didn't brought Keith home with us,"

"Don't worry about it Pidge," Matt laid a hand on her shoulder. "All that we know is that Keith is out and safe. Black is taking care of him and heading to the Blue Paladin and its lion right now."

"I know," Pidge sighed. "But he is hurt, and we should have done something to help him."

"Oh, we shouldn't have let him go alone." Hunk moaned,

"Hey," Lance spoke. "Don't worry about it, Black is heading towards Blue. If she's there, that means the paladin of the Blue Lion is there too."

"How can you be so calm and be so sure about its Lance?" Pidge asked,

"Let's just say that I have got a feeling with a little bit a mixture of faith." Lance shrugged, "Plus, I've met him."

"You mean, the one you knocked that ninja away from you?" Matt asked,

"Yup," Lance nodded.

"What?!" everyone except for Lance and Matt jumped,

"How?" Pidge asked, "I mean, nothing in our own radar hasn't picked up any Paladin activity on the ship. If it has, it could have alerted me about the Blue Paladin being on that ship."

"Let's just said that he doesn't want to be seen," Lance spoke. "From the time being, that is."

"I see," Shiro nearly understood.

"But right now," Lance held up the orb that held Keith's life. "I better make a quick delivery," Shiro looks at Lance's hands.

"So that's the orb that you guys are talking about," Shiro pointed out as he started to actually picture the movie of Beauty and the Beast.

"Yup," Lance nodded.

"Hmm..." Pidge rubbed her chin as she examines the orb, "It's bigger than I have expected to be,"

"No kidding," Hunk added.

"And with the small crack," Shiro crossed his arms. "How did he broke his leg like that?"

"Almost dropped it, that's for sure." Lance exclaimed,

"But who are going to give this orb to Lance?" Matt asked,

"I know someone," Lance answered. "And I got a feeling that will ease her that her son is still alive,"

"I know who and what you are thinking about Lance," Shiro spoke. "But go easy on her,"

"Don't worry Shiro," Lance smiled. "I got this," Lance left the hanger and the others followed him. To make sure that he wasn't alone, and they would back him up from a Galra fury that they don't want to mess with.

While Lance is still holding onto the orb, he has starting to notice that it is glowing dim for some reason. It must be his leg, Lance thought. It might have got infected but hope that he is taken care of before it spreads. Lance continue to walk while his friends follow him.

At the medical bay. Krolia is reading a book while Cosmo is preoccupied with dog bone that has become his new own chew toy. Given by Ezor. Suddenly, a knocking sound has knocked on the door. "Come in," Krolia called out. The door opened, then Lance, Pidge, Matt, Hunk, and Shiro came in. In surprise, Krolia noticed that Lance, Pidge and Hunk are wearing their paladin suits while Matt is wearing his rebellion suit from his previous battles. "Boys, Pidge," Krolia sat up straight for a little bit. "What's going on? How come you are...?"

"We are in our paladin spacesuits," Pidge nodded. Making sure that she isn't dreaming. "The Lions of Voltron has return Krolia,"

Krolia almost gasped, Oh, I owe Keith that I told him so. Krolia thought, suddenly, she sniffed the air. Wait a tick, why am I...?

"The lions have led up to the location of Keith's whereabouts," Hunk added.

"And they have helped up to fight against the enemy that ones who have Keith," Matt added.

"So, Keith has escaped from the enemy?" Krolia smiled, "With the Lions of Voltron?"

They nodded,

"So, where is he?" Krolia looks around,

Shiro sighed, "Krolia, when Keith is escaping. He got injured,"

"Injured? How?" Krolia asked,

"He broke his leg," Lance answered. "Don't even actually sure how but it did,"

"Then..." Krolia was about to asked, suddenly she saw the orb in Lance's hands. "What is that?" She pointed,

"Oh umm..." Lance nearly stuttered his words,

"Have you ever heard of Beauty and the Beast?" Matt asked,

"Once," Krolia answered. "But that's when I was carrying Keith,"

"Whoa," Matt mouthed.

"Well," Lance spoke. "Picture that Keith is the beast that is in Galra form, instead his human form. And this orb with the rose is his life, but the role for beauty. We really don't know yet,"

Krolia's eyes widened,

"If that last petal from the rose falls," Pidge spoke. "Keith will remain as full Galra form, instead of being human and the orb of his life will return to him while he is in that body. But if he was able to break the spell before then, he returns to human and his life still return to him."

"But...why isn't he here?" Krolia asked,

"The Black Lion has went looking for the Blue Lion," Shiro answered. "We all believed that Black knows where to hide Keith and find the Blue Paladin before this new enemy comes back for him."

"I see," Krolia nearly become disappointed. "So, there's no need to look for him then."

"Not at this moment," Shiro nodded. "However, I do believe that Keith will be fine. He's an excellent pilot, a paladin, and a blade. He'll find a way to come back home to us,"

"I hope that you are right," Krolia nearly prayed.

"Umm Krolia," Lance nearly stuttered.

"Yes?"

"Keith asked me to give this to someone and be able to keep him alive," Lance stepped forward. "And I thought that someone should be you."

"Why?"

"Well, who would it be? Unless that is a mother that is has a strong heart to protect its own cub."

"Lance," Krolia nearly jumped as she begun to understand. "I don't know what to say,"

"No need, here." Lance handed her the orb, "Be careful, the orb is breakable."

Krolia nodded as she carefully takes the orb out of Lance's hands and cradled the orb into her arms. Suddenly, she started to sniff a scent from the orb. That's Keith's scent, Krolia thought as she smiled. "Thank you, Lance,"

"Anytime," Lance shrugged as he returns with a smile.

"It looks like that we got a lot of work to do," Shiro spoke. "Since Voltron has return, we got to work on our new hope and peace towards the galaxy."

"No kidding," Hunk chuckled as he nodded.

Pidge chuckled a bit,

"Indeed," Krolia nodded.

Cosmo barked happily,

"Now let's get to work," Shiro spoke. "The galaxy won't be losing faith anytime soon, you know that."

"Hey, being missing for three years is different." Pidge reminded him,

"And we won't let that mistake happen again," Lance added.

"And we have been having normal lives just for a year now. And I think that we can handle it," Hunk pitch in.

"And besides, what could possibly happen?" Pidge shrugged,

Shiro chuckled, "We'll see to it," then Pidge, Hunk, Lance, and Matt saluted. Shiro dismisses them.

While Pidge, Hunk, Lance and Matt are gone. Krolia, Cosmo and Shiro are left alone in the room. "Get some rest," Shiro spoke. "You have a long day to protect the orb,"

"Oh, don't worry Shiro," Krolia spoke. "I got it, and thank you."

"No problem," Shiro left as Cosmo begun to follow him.

Krolia giggled, And you, Keith. Krolia prayed as she looks at the orb, You too do the same. Share hope and peace towards other at...wherever you are. And don't lose faith upon yourself as well. We all are counting on you to do a great jump for being a Paladin of Voltron again. And...please be safe on your journey, that holds a new chapter that will be waiting for you. Krolia held the orb gently as she put extra pillows around her. Securing the orb safety in her arms as she lies down. Feeling the warmth from the orb dancing around as it glimmers through her rest.
