Okay, so this is kinda like a preview chapter, kinda testing the waters. This is only the second time I have ever tried writing for the Voltron fandom at all, but it is the first thing I will actually be posting for it. Crossing my fingers here.

Please please please comment if you like it or think it's interesting, I'm super unsure about how to go about writing for this fandom and I need all the help I can get.

The alarms were blazing, she needed to find her paladins, and fast. They couldn't hold off this attack much longer without them.

"Princess, we can't afford to send the lions out in this kind of firefight! What if one of them is caught? Or if this ship follows them and endangers another planet? Or worse, sends other ships after them!"

"We don't have a choice Coran! The lions need their paladins and we don't have time to search for them one at a time like we have been." Allura ran from the bridge to the lift as fast as she could, "Keep defending the castle, I will let the lions out one at a time. Hopefully that will be enough that that Galra ship won't know what we're doing." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She pressed the button to descend to the hangers and tried with all her might to will it to go faster. Time was of the essence and they didn't have much of it to begin with. She ran from the lift as soon the doors were open. The Blue lion's hanger was the closest, she'd start there. She entered the hanger and took in the sight of the magnificent beast, the particle barrier separating them shining in the artificial light of her bay. She walked up to the barrier and placed her palm to it, projecting her voice into her Lion's heart.

"Mighty Blue lion of Voltron, we are loath to do this this way, but I must send you out to find your destined paladin on your own. Return to us as soon as you have found them. I fear our ship may not hold, but you are fast and smart. Blue lion of Voltron, you must protect us. Find someone pure and courageous, someone worthy of you. Someone who can save us all." She pressed her forehead to the barrier. "I will open the bay doors soon, as soon as I do, fly, swifter than the wind. Steadier than the waves. Find your Paladin. And the Gods be willing, let him accept this awful request." Blue purred directly into her mind, trying soothing her. She seemed to understand what Allura wanted her to do.

Allura ran over to the manual bay door controls and set the gravity settings so that she wouldn't be sucked out into the vacuum of space once the doors were open. Once done, she looked back to the mighty Blue lion, She had lowered her barrier and was waiting patiently for Allura to let her out. "Be safe." She whispered under her breath as she pressed the button and the large doors began to open. This had to work. "Return soon, please." were the last words she uttered as she watched Blue fly out into the blackness of space, to even the Gods new not where. She was indeed fast, and before Allura could blink, she was gone. One down, four more to go.

"Princess, the Blue lion is out of this galactic quadrant already! I don't think the Galra ship noticed her, but I would wait on sending the others too soon after, just in case." Came Coran's voice over the intercoms. Allura let out a sigh of relief. As long as they could do this undetected, they would be fine.

"I understand, I'm moving on to the Red lion, inform me when there is another opening." She answered strongly as she closed Blue's hanger doors and ran to the next one over.

Okay, so this bit takes place roughly between chapters four and five, so the next couple chapters will seem different. Just a heads up.
