That was all the motivation needed. Keith and him were always supposed to be rivals but overtime he found himself enjoying Keith's presence. Maybe this is what it's like to finally have a true friend.

But, I don't have time to think about this right now. I need to focus. I took a seat at the red lion hopefully for the last time. "I'm gonna miss you buddy, you too blue. So let's give it all we got today." My lion rawrs  in response.

I hear Allura through the communicator. "Everyone ready? I just wanted to say thank you paladins without you the universe would've been overthrown by Galra rule." All of in unison say the final words before the battle "let's do this." Three words of truth.

"Okay everyone remember the plan" Keith says confidently through the communicator. I think I was the only one to notice in that moment the fear in Keith's voice. Keith of all people who I've aspired to be since Garrison is a normal person with fear, who would've thought the mullet actually had emotions.

I see the Galra army heading towards the Garrison. This is it, now or never. I can't help but be a little afraid too yet something about what Keith said earlier reassures me. "Alright everyone from Voltron!" Keith says seeming to get a sense of confidence back.

We fly up in sequence as the transformation takes place. It's sad to think that this is the last time I will be fighting as a paladin of Voltron but I know this is a good thing. As soon as it started we are transformed and staring right at a Galra ship that is fueling its ion cannon.

"Everyone move!" Keith shouts, as soon as he said this Voltron moves out of the way just in-time to get away from the ion cannon. "That was a close one team, form shoulder cannon hunk!" Keith shouts

The shoulder cannon forms on the back of the robot within seconds. A few shots from the cannon and we've taken down two Glara ships and around twenty fighter ships. We're still a few ships away from the big ship but we're getting close.

These are the final moments. As we get closer to the main ship I can't help but think that a part of this is going to easy. I wonder if the other paladins are thinking the same thing. I push the thought aside though, I mean we are getting backed up by the Garrison.

"Guys look out!" Pidge shouts but it's too late we're shot with a huge blast from the main ship that disbands are lions. I hear a scream from Hunk before I'm thrown flying. "Come on red!" I shout desperately trying to gain back control over my lion.

It's no use I'm flying out of control. I have to be far away from the paladins by now. I knew this was going way to easy. Suddenly I'm hit by sudden impact. I've hit a cliff. My lion takes most of the impact but I'm sent jolting from my seat. My lion falls to the ground with a final crash. Everything goes black.

I wake up with blurry vision. I must have gotten the wind knocked out of me from impact and passed out. My lion still isn't working I try to communicate with the others but my communicator is broken. Suddenly I'm hit by a blast. "Quiznak!" The ships must have found me. I hope the others are okay.

There's nothing I can do but take the blasts and desperately try to get my lion to work. "Red please come on the others need me!" I say almost in tears. Nothing is working but these hits my lion is taking isn't helping either.

I grab my blaster that was besides my chair and hop out of my lion. It's dangerous to be exposed but I don't have a choice. I have to distract them so my lion doesn't take anymore hits.

The air is calm which feels weird considering all that has happened. I see five Galra small fighter ships who haven't seen me yet. This is my chance to fire because I have the upperhand here. I run to where I have perfect aim at all of them and start shooting. I hid behind a broken billboard sign. They try to find me but fail and fly off hopefully not to attack the other paladins I hope.

"One win for lance!" I can't help saying. I come out from behind the billboard and start running towards my lion. I come close to the doors when my lion turns back on. Perfect timing I think. But my timing turns out to be a bit off I come close to the door and I am shot by one of the Galra fighters as I stumble in the door. The door closes and I feel a sharp pain in my leg. My lion sits up and blasts up to get away from the attack.

I stumble to my chair. I don't have time to look at my wound. I drive my lion and I find pidge and the other lions. I can't talk from my communicator but I can hear them. Pidge is saying that she was able to locate all of us and was wondering if anyone was hurt.

I can't respond which is probably a good thing. They don't need to know about the risk I just took, we have a bigger mission right now. Everyone replies to pidge saying they're fine. "Looks like lance can't talk to us, his communicator is broken it looks like. Lance you'll just have to listen to us to understand the plan."

I nod my lions head in response and we take off in the air again as Keith shouts "form Voltron!" Just as every time before the lions assemble themselves quickly and efficiently.

"Alright team here's the plan we need to impact at the center of the ship. Lance we will need you to form the sword and pidge we need your shield. Hunk I need your shoulder cannon for defense and Allura I need to contact shiro and the rest of the people at the garrison to provide more cover and to let them know where okay."

"On it!" Allura says then I hear the shield and shoulder cannon form. "Lance wait will we get close to the center to form the sword" Keith tells me. My lion roars in response. I wish I could communicate with them right now but I will be able to after the battle.

We start charging at the pain ships most of the ships were able to fight off and shield from. Although we take a few hits. "Lance sword now!" Keith tells.I look to see us close to impact on the center. I form the sword with my bayard. My lion tells me something when I put my bayard in. This is new I thought but I can't alert everyone of this. I turn my bayard and we hit impact.

Everything goes white and I hear a ringing white noise. I feel my lion disbanding as I hit the ground and everything goes black. When I wake I hear them talking. "We did it!" Hunk yells excitedly. Everyone is cheering I can't believe we really did this "Lance you really saved us back there!" Keith says, I can hear the happiness in his voice. I try to move my lion but fail. "Lance!" Keith yells, then everything goes black.
