Ghost Lance Prompt
My Idea:
Lance was killed during one of the Galra attacks. He and the Blue Lion crashed, when they went to retrieve him, he’d already passed away.
They have a funeral back on Planet Arus and planets loyal to Voltron hold memorials that are broadcast through the coalition’s connections.
For a little while, Allura is able to pilot the Blue Lion but when they are finished with a battle a while later, the Blue Lion chooses one of the citizens of the planet.
They’re personality is like Lance’s in some ways because of this Hunk and Pidge can’t talk to them for a little while.
Cue new paladin internalizing everything and trying to work harder to gain their approval.
The three of them bond when Pidge and Hunk find them in the training room exhausted but still trying to get up and fight.
After a few months or whatever, the new paladin goes to train with the Blue Lion and Lance appears behind them while their flying.
They turn around ready to fight but they realize that the person is see-through.
Their planet has stories about lost spirits and they realize now that they have a duty to see Lance to the other side.
They try to find out what will help Lance move on but he won’t reveal what it is.
Over time, the two of them bond and the new paladin starts saying a lot of things that Lance used to say. The others sort of notice but they brush it off as being part of the Blue Lion’s influence.
When they fully realize what’s happening it’s because the new paladin comes out after a hard battle and says “I say Vol and you say Tron, Vol...”
Hunk is almost manic when he asks where he heard that and the new paladin reveals that there was a spirit in the Blue Lion and he’s trying to help them move on.
The rest of the team move into the Blue Lion and Lance’s spirit is sitting in the pilot’s chair, exactly where they found him when he first passed away.
They ask him how they can help but he just says that it’s not time yet and disappears.
He continues to talk with the new paladin but when the rest of the team shows up he leaves.
When the final battle is over and the rest of the team goes to the beach (in honour of Lance) he shows up beside them and says thank you and goodbye before disappearing forever.
Before he goes he explains that he needed to come home first since it was the thing that he always wanted.
