Today, Team Voltron is in the training quarters practicing their close combat. This idea was proposed last week from Coran when he had finished hearing the story from both Allura and Keith on how they had difficulties defeating Lotor. He insisted and emphasized the activity all week to everyone saying how important it was and so, they were all working while Coran gave tutorials about how to combat.

Lance was in the near bottom center of the room observing everyone while doing his own practice. Not many bots were coming up to him so he had a chance to observe how and what everyone was doing. He was currently looking at Hunk and Pidge who were both on the far left of the training quarters. Hunk was dealing with two robots nearing him and elbows one in the abdomen. He smashes the other one's head and they both fall to the floor disabling. Once it's finished, Hunk smiles to himself in a proud way for what he's done but two bots appear behind him almost taking him over, until Pidge shows up behind those bots and does a high kick on one of them, making it fall to the floor. Hunk turns around in notice but Pidge was already leaping on the remaining one and tearing its robotic head off, exposing the wires. She jumps off the bot and looks at Hunk to smile at him. He reciprocates her smile and they both give a high-five to each other while cheering on about their success in training today. Lance looks away because it's uncomfortable for him to see it and he feels like he's strayed even further from Hunk's friendship. He thinks about how they should hangout for a bit one of these days.

His eyes follow Allura, she has about four robots surrounding her and Lance feels as if she was in trouble. He immediately runs to her to help but one of the bots tackles him as he's running towards her. Both him and the robot fall to the ground and the bot has its hands weighing down Lance's shoulders. He can't punch or push away and so he is trapped under it. After a few moments of struggling, he finally gets the idea that he should kick it in its center with his knee and does so. The robot is thrown the side and disables. When Lance finally gets up quickly to go to Allura, he sees that she has already defeated all four robots and was grinning to herself. Coran complements her over the other side of the room, and Shiro had walked down towards her to put his hand on her shoulder in an endearing and proud way. Lance is standing there with his mouth agape at the thought of Allura defeating four robots. "Allura, That was amazing! how did you take down that many robots?" Lance asks her in bewilderment. Keith, who was across from him, responds in his casual way saying, "Lance, it was just training sequence level 3."

"But it was still impressive," Shiro replies immediately afterwards.

"Oh, I'm so happy to be contributing," Allura comments, proud of herself and thankful for her team's spirit on her improvement.

A pinch of Lance's pride gets destroyed when he registers the fact that it was such an easy training level. He slightly bites down on the inside of his lips and agrees in mumbles over Allura's accomplishments.

When training finally ends, everyone goes back to their usual hobbies and routines. Allura spends her time in the front quarters, although still impressed at her skill, whilst she navigates the ship. Coran went around, checking if everything was orderly. He meets Shiro for a bit, and they talk before Shiro goes ahead and returns to his own room waiting for dinner and possibly thinking about the recent days. Keith was still staring at his blade of Marmora in his bed, contemplating what he should do after his adventures with Voltron passed, thinking he should look for his family. Hunk was in the cooking quarters, surprisingly alone, cooking the dinner for the rest of team Voltron and Coran. Pidge, as usual, was in the living quarters decoding some kind of hack and repeating the tape of her brother in prison. Lastly, the red paladin was in his room and sitting in his bed. He looks at his own reflection across from him and thinks about how he should try harder these days. He feels like he's been slacking off many times before and he now feels as if he should do something about it. Allura has been improving at such an incredible rate while he was still left behind doing nothing. Not to mention the fact that soon Shiro would start to become disappointed in him. Lance was going to try harder if he was going to be kept on team Voltron and avoid disappointing anyone.
