The fairy paladin (slow updates)

The return of the gladiator

Wren's POV

We woke up after some rest and practiced turning into Voltron and working as a team.

After we were done, We walked into the dining area after training. "Great job training today, guys. We're really getting the hang of Voltron." Shiro said as we walked to the table. "Seriously, how far do you think my Lion kicked that broken alien ship? Must have been like a mile!" Lance said cockily as Keith looked at him annoyed and said. "Yeah, that'll come in handy when the Galra challenges Voltron to a soccer match."

Lance looked at him smugly and said. "Hey, I did something cool and you can't handle it. I get it. I bet Wren thought it was cool." "Your kick ruined our balance. We fell and don't drag other people to this." "Are you Wren? I didn't think so. Let the beautiful lady answer for herself."

I rolled my eyes and said rubbing my neck. "The only thing your kick did was give me whiplash." Lance looked at me shocked as Keith smiled at me for my comment. "Well that falling part was Hunk's fault." Hunk glares at him while having trouble with his helmet saying. "Hey!" Shiro got in between them saying. "All right, save your energy for fighting Zarkon." We all sit at the table as Coran enters with a plate of food saying.

"Hello, guys! How was the Voltron workout?" Shiro stood up and looked at him asking. "We're getting there. Are you and Allura almost done fixing the Castle so we can leave this planet? I feel like we're sitting ducks here on Arus."

"Just about. In the meantime, to get your minds off those duck seats you're worried about, I made you guys an authentic ancient Paladin lunch!" Coran reveals an abomination he cooked up. Everyone is disgusted as I hide behind my chair looking at it in disgust due to my strong sense of smell asking. "Coran what is that!?"

"Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo and now you're switching it up?" Hunk complained with me. "This is packed with nutrients." "I know healthy and that is not." I say that as Hunk and Coran sniff the strange food. Hunk groans in disgust And says. "Oh, it smells disgusting!" "I know! That's how you know it's healthy Wren!" I shook my head side to side grossed out, Hunk looks at him standing up with some alien plants in his hand saying.

"Coran, we're on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices, and... whatever this thing is. A tuber? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head back to the kitchen and spice things up." Hunk leaves. Lance and Keith sit at the other end of the table to wait for nicer food that was actually good.

Shiro looks around the room asking. "Where's Pidge?" Coran eats the strange food and says with a mouthful. "—He's probably checking on those... prisoners we rescued from Zarkon. They'll all be waking soon in the infirmary."

Shiro stands to leave, Coran offers him a spork full of yellow nastiness. "Open the hatch. Food Lion coming in!" Coran makes jet sounds as Shiro looks grossed out as us. "Run while you still can." I whispered to him.

"No. Just... no." Shiro says as he leaves. Coran looks at him and says. "You don't know what you're missing!" "I think he does." Coran looks at me and walked over but I moved away to the other side.

Hunk came back with some food that smelled divine. I took my half before the boys scarfed down the good food. "Hunk this is delicious!" I said after shallowing and taking another bite. Hunk blushed at this and Allura came in a little while later. "They like the paladin lunch!" Coran pouted and said. "I don't want to talk about it." I felt a little bad but there was no way I was gonna eat that, it looked alive.

"I just got the final nebulon booster working. We should be able to leave Planet Arus tomorrow and take the fight to Zarkon." Suddenly the alarm blared and we looked up in panic. "Huh?" Lance slurped his food as the computer beeped that showed something sneaking around and Keith asked. "What is that?" "don't know what it is. Maybe it's a local Arusian. He's approaching the Castle."
