The paladins all enter the Dining Hall, with a smile on their face as they just finished training.

"Great job training today guys. Were really getting the hang of forming Voltron" Shiro said "Seriously, how far do you think I kicked that broken alien ship? Must have been a mile!" Lance exaggerated. "Yeah, that'll come in handy when the Galra challenge Voltron in a soccer match" Keith joked "Hey I did something cool and you cant handle it. I get it" Lance reasoned, folding his arms in front of his chest.

"Your kick ruined our balance. We fell" Keith pointed out "Well, that falling part was Hunk's fault" Lance said before a "Hey!" Could be heard from Hunk. "All right, save your energy for fighting Zarkon" Shiro said before a portal appeared making all head's turn to the portal. Soon Azura came out, holding her arm "Holy shishkabals, what happened to you!?" Lance said as Shiro helped Azura maintain her balance. "Training happened, my magic malfunctioned while I tried to make a bot stronger for me to fight. Apparently, It was to strong' even for me, and threw me across the training deck and I hit a wall" Azura explained "This might freak you out" She warned before pushing her dislocated arm back in place while she let out a cry and bones could be heard either forming or cracking.

"Woah!" Hunk yelled "Told you" Azura blankly said. Azura sat down but the seat beside Allura's. "Hello guys! How was Voltron workout?" Coran asked "Were getting there. Are you and Allura almost done fixing the castle so we can leave this planet? I feel like were sitting ducks here on Arus" Shiro said

"Just about. In the meantime, get your minds off those duck seats you're worried about . I made you guys an authentic ancient Paladin Lunch!" Coran showed a bowl full of orange goo "Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo, and now you're switching it up" Hunk complained "This is packed with nutrients" Coran said before both him and Hunk sniff the bowl full of orange goo.

"Oh! It smells disgusting!"

"I know! That's how you know it's healthy!" Suddenly Hunk pulls out a weird plant "Coran, were on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices,....what ever this thing is. A tuber? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head back to the kitchen to spice things up" With that, Hunk left the dining hall and went to the kitchen and Keith and Lance sat across Azura.

"Azura?" Coran looks at the young princess who just shook her head "No thanks Coran, I'll just have some water" Azura said before making a cup of water appear on top of the table, beside her.

"Where's Pidge?" Shiro asks "-He's probably checking on those... prisoners we rescued from . They'll all be waking soon in the infirmary." Coran said with a mouth full of goo. Shiro stood up but Coran blocked him while holding a spoon full of food goo.

"Open the hatch. Food lion coming in!" Coran tried to feed him "No...Just- No" Shiro said before leaving.

"You don't know what your missing!" Coran yelled.

After a few minutes Hunk enters the dining hall with three plates -idk how he manage to hold it- and gave them to Azura, Lance, and Keith. When the Red and Blue lion saw the food they began to wolf down the food.

"Thanks Hunk, but I'm still full"

"No worries Azura" Azura gave him a thankful smile before her eyes averted to her sister that had just entered. Azura got up from her chair and gave her sister a quick hug before pulling back. "They like the paladin lunch!" Allura said and Azura noticed a frown on Coran's face "I don't want to talk about it" Azura let out a quiet laugh.

"I just got the final nebulon booster working. We should be able to leave Arus tomorrow and take the fight to Zarkon" Allura explained "Awww, does that mean I wont be able to train out while watching the sun rise" Azura joked, Suddenly the castle's alarms blare making the two paladins stop eating and Allura brings up a screen to show a creature coming towards the castle.
