"Ok form Voltron!" Shiro yelled.
They were fighting a whole Galra fleet headed by Haggar herself.
They were losing and had already been forced to separate and tossed around like a bunch of rag dolls.
That was until Shiro noticed an unprotected area.
They felt the bond fill their minds as the lions connected to crest the protector of the universe.
"Yo mullet watched your six. Can't drag all us down because your too busy glaring out the window." Lance smirked his face popping up on the coms.
"Just concentrate on not knocking us all over again." Keith snapped back.
"Guys focus!" Shiro rolled his eyes. They had been in space for nearly three months now and if anything Lance and Keith had only been arguing more and more.
By some grace of God the constant fighting hadn't caused any problems with the paladin bond.
But...
Shiro didn't feel easy about the situation.
Suddenly a blast of purple energy hit Voltron and yet again they were all sent blasting away from each other.
However unlike last time they didn't all just bounce back.
This time the blue lion kept spinning out of control .
"Lance get it together!" Pidge yelled pulling Green back into position.
Silence.
"Lance?" Hunk asked.
When no answer came a familiar stab of fear rushed through the team.
"Shiro what do we do?" Hunk sounded on the verge of a panic attack.
Shiro looked at the fleet then at blue.
They were outnumbered and Lance could be hurt for all they knew.
"Retreat... Allura get ready to jump, Coran get a pod ready Lance may be injured."
Shiro using Black picked up Blue in her jaws and quickly flew back to the castle.
What really worried him was the fact that the Galra didn't try to follow them.
It was like they lost all interest in them.
That didn't do much to help Shiro feel better.
In the hangars Shiro didn't think he had ever ran as fast as he did then when he jumped out of Black and into Blue.
"Lance!" He called spinning round the chair only to find it empty.
"Erm... Shiro." Hunk called "I think you should see this."
Shiro was about to tell Hunk that they had different priorities when he saw exactly what Hunk meant.
It was Keith...
Well sort of.
Keith was staring at his hands, eyes wide and breathing shallow and too quick.
It was both clearly Keith and not him at the same time.
For starters his trademark mullet was gone...
Half his hair was now a dark chocolate brown and the eye on the same side was a stunning ocean blue.
"Keith?" Shiro asked placing a hand on the red Paladins shoulder.
Keith looked up at him eyes wide with terror.
"What's wrong...?"
"Shiro... what's going on?"
That wasn't Keith's voice... it was Lance's
"W-why can I feel Lance in my head?" Keith's voice came through filled with as much fear and uncertainty as Lance's.
Shiro had wanted the two to get closer....
But not like this.
