Chapter 56 - The Soul of the Universe
"Oh no! The non-physical realms died and us with it!"
"Hunk, how could it have ended if we can still hear each other talk?" asked Pidge.
"Oh... well, I was the first to talk. I didn't know you were still here..."
"Cognito argo sum," said Matt. "I think therefore I am. If you're still thinking then you still have a consciousness so you still exist."
"That's a relief," sighed Hunk.
"Paladins, sound off," said Keith.
"Leakira here!"
"Don't call yourself that, Lance," grumbled Keith.
"I was speaking for both of us."
"Pidge here."
"Hunk here."
"Allura here."
Silence.
"Okay, I actually meant all Paladins," continued Keith. "Past, present, future..."
"Alfor here."
"Blaytz here."
"Melenor here."
"Romelle here."
"Shiro here."
"Trigel here."
"Gyrgan here."
"Matt here."
"Colleen here."
"Roni here!"
"It's Adam, b*tch!"
"I suppose I am here," said Lotor.
"Coran here."
"Literally the only one here who doesn't qualify, but I'm here if anyone cares..." muttered Bored.
"Krolia here."
"Acxa here."
Kosmo barked.
"We're short one. Who are we missing?" asked Keith.
"Oh my gosh, where's Shay?" cried Hunk.
"I am beside you, Hunk."
"You should've said something. All future Paladins need to sound off."
"But... I am lost."
"You're a Paladin too now, okay? And we're maybe gonna be Gods together."
A sizzle of electricity and then suddenly light. Everyone's focus turned to Melenor and the lightning sparking in her hands. "That took far too long to get going. I have barely any power left and am unable to draw more from the astral plane."
More lights as the other Realm Guardians were able to sparks bits of their powers into their hands. Alfor held flame. Trigle's hand contained a swirling mass of green that when looked at from the corner of your eye would take shape of frightening creatures. Gyrgan held a ball of fire that looked like Earth's sun. Blaytz produced a creature from his hand that emitted a soft blue glow and swam around his body.
"Wait..." said Allura. "I know this creature. We encountered them in the deep of space when we were separated from our Lions."
"Yeah, and we got attacked by a lightning nebula that looked suspiciously like your power." Lance pointed a finger at Mel.
"And those look like the flames I only saw in my mind," Keith said to Alfor.
"And I bet you could make spooky creatures the size of a planet," Pidge said to Trigel."
