The Gray Lion? [Keith X Reader]

Chapter 3 Part 1: Return of the Gladiator

"Sire, the beast is almost to Arus."

"This quintessence is not nearly enough power compared to my doll. But it's enough for me to fight the Paladins and bring her back." 

"There is no need. My creature will destroy them and capture the Voltron lions and our little doll for us. Then the universe's most powerful weapon will be ours, and we will have our little ball of power back." I said. Emperor Zarkon was pissed off all day as he couldn't feel the energy he would usually get from the little doll. I was also furious since my tests had to be held back. If I had her to test on, then my creature would be ten folds stronger and would've been able to capture Voltron. 

I was sitting on a tree, hidden away, as my bodyguards went to find food and talk to Sendak. While they were gone, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I'm taking in the peace since I knew when I get back home, I won't be able to enjoy being outside like this anymore. 

Take it all in Y/n before you can't... You'll never be able to stay outside like this again... Father will never allow it. I should explore while I'm at it. It will be my last day of freedom, and feeling no pain. I might enjoy it and look around. Also, it'll be fun since it's been a while since I've been on a planet. But Korus and everyone else will be worried about me if I disappear... Unless I make it back before they come back. Yeah... they said they'll be back in 22 doboshes (30 minutes)!

I finally opened my eyes and got up from the tree. I jumped down and decided to walk and look at what this planet had. 

~20 MINUTES LATER~

I was in the middle of a dirt area and kept walking as I enjoyed the view. I noticed that parts of Sendak's ship were decently far away. I decided to walk over to it, hoping it was some technology I could use to contact my father since he would be worried about me. I also didn't want a severe punishment for making him worry. As I was walking over to check it out, I started to hear something. I turned my head only to see something galra-made ship flying to the leftover parts. Before it hit the spare parts, I noticed two people flying out of it and toward me. 

BOOMMMM

As I heard the big explosion, I shut my eyes and covered myself, knowing I wasn't far enough from the blast. I waited for the impact to come and give me 3rd-degree burns, but it never came. I slowly opened one eye only to notice that I had a forcefield surrounding me, but it was a gray color. I slowly stood up; the dirt mixed with the air started disappearing. I saw the green and the black lions from far away. I then noticed that the people that flew out of the spare parts were the green and black paladins that I let go from Sendak's ship. As I shifted my eyes from the paladins to the lions, I noticed the lions turning around to face me.
