Greetings fellow nerds... yep that was lame. Anyway, welcome to my story which was actually inspired by some fanart I came across. Basically, if Voltron isn't going to give Lance character development and a meaningful story line like Keith, then I'm going to do it. I hope you guys like Langst because there is a lot of it in here, along with his hunor bc it's Lance and I hope you enjoy :)

-I don't own anything to do with Voltron, just an obsessed fan-

oOOo

Lance skidded down the hallway, sweat dripping down his neck as he rounded the corner, almost falling.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Pidge screamed as she chased him, her face hot.

Lance laughed as he sprinted ahead of her, holding her laptop.

"You shouldn't have taken that video of me!" Lance called back as he ducked into the kitchen and hid behind the island.

"It's not my fault that you like to dress up in shark onsies and dance around like a noodle! -which by the way I really want to know where you got it considering we're in space-!" Pidge huffed as she stepped into the kitchen, pushing her glasses up with her middle finger incase he could see her.

"I saw that!" Lance yelled from his hiding spot.

"That was the point." Pidge shot back as she trudged over to where his voice came.

Lance let out a scream as Pidge hit him on top of the head with a plate.

As Lance reached for his head, Pidge yanked her laptop out of his hand.

"NoOo!" Lance yelled, leaping for it.

Pidge pushed him back and climbed onto the counter, holding it above her head, "Mine!" She snapped, shooing him away with her foot.

"Okay- Okay! Just, please don't show anyone!" Lance begged, pulling a fake pouty face.

Pidge rolled her eyes and then opened her computer. Her face twisted as she tried to hold in a laugh.

"What??" Lance asked, crossing his arms.

Pidge fell off the counter and clutched her stomach as she rolled on the floor laughing.

Lance stared at her with utter confusion and fear etched across his face.

"Oh my god! Its just- You.. you posted it while you were taking it away from me!" Pidge cried with laughter, pointing to the screen.

Lance's face dropped as he leapt for the computer, "How the heck?! Pidge we're in space! How did this post???" Lance asked as he quickly deleted it, his face flushed.

"Knowing me, you should know that I would've figured a way to connect it to some form of internet." Pidge said as she dabbed at her eyes, still chuckling.

Lance placed his face in his hands and let out a muffled oh my gooood...

"It's okay, it's not like you're there to see everyone laughing at it." Pidge said as she patted him on the shoulder.

"That wasn't helpful!" Lance yelled.

Pidge snickered, "I know.. I thought it was funny. Made my day, Lance, thanks." She said as she skipped out of the kitchen, her laptop in hand.

Lance stared after her, allowing a small grin to etch its way onto his face, when she did things like that, it reminded him of his younger siblings and how they would bug the crap out of him.

"Paladins! Report to the bridge, immediately!" Allura's voice flooded through the castle, making Lance jump about ten feet.

"A little warning next time you decide to blare your voice through the castle would be nice!" He muttered to himself as he made his way to the bridge.

oOOo

Lance walked onto the bridge, his hands stuffed in his pockets.

"What's up?" He asked as he sat next to Hunk on one of the steps.

Pidge stood next to him, while Shiro stood next to Allura and Keith was off to the side with his arms crossed.

Allura had a pure look of concern on her face, "I'm sorry to say that I've discovered some bad news." She informed them.

Keith looked at her, "What is it?" He asked.

"Well... do you recall how in our last battle... things went ary and Haggar cast something onto Voltron?" Allura asked as she continued to wring her hands.

The paladins nodded, recalling how they had come so close to being taken down by Zarcon's new form. They had panicked and Haggar had taken control of their breif moment of fear.

"It turns out that it was a very powerful spell, one that she had been working on for who knows how long. Anyway.. the spell was cast onto each of your lions, so when you disbanded from Voltron, the spell took action. You see," Allura paused as she pulled up a visual of the lions, "The lions are coated in some sort of magic. I've been looking into it and if we don't get rid of the spell, you won't be able to form Voltron." Allura ended, her voice shaking.

Everyone stared at her in silence, taking in what she just said.

"Well.. let's start with this; is there anything that can help the lions?" Shiro asked, placing a comforting hand on Allura's shoulder.

Allura nodded, pulling up another visual, one that showed colored crystals.

"These crystals. They're called Azurite crystals, meaning "Stone of the Heavens". If we collect enough of them, I can turn them into a tonic that will rid the lions of any dark magic and make them stronger. These crystals are extremely vital to your mission to destroy Zarcon. Without them.. all hope is lost." Allura explained.

Lance stared at the crystal. It was a dark turquoise with light blue streams of color flowing through it. It was also spotted with what looked like shattered green crystals. In all honesty, it looked like it could do anything.

"Okay, where do we get them from?" Hunk asked as he rubbed his hands together.

"That's the downside of the Azurite. You see, they're insanely rare and can only be found on two planets, each on different sides of the Universe. To retrieve them, you would have to go in pairs. Luckily enough, these planets have a very low inhabitant count." Allura responded as she showed them the two planets.

"Whoa..." Pidge gasped as she stared at them.

The first one was black with teal and white veins flowing around it. To Pidge, it looked like a circular computer chip.

"Can I go to that one?" She asked as she pointed at it, jumping up on her toes.

Allura chuckled, "Of course, you and Keith can go since the Plant of Treylluciana is known for being relatively hot and the Red Lion can withstand its heat." Allura said, pulling up an image of the blue fire along the cracks on the ground of the planet.

"Ironically, the other planet, Pheylix, is freezing. It has waters that are so cold that the moment something comes in contact with it, it freezes." Allura explained.

Lance stared in awe at the bright blue, clear waters of the ice planet.

"Lance and Shiro will go to Pheylix." Allura chimed in, she then focused her attention on Hunk, "Now don't think that I've forgotten about you, Hunk. I need you to stay here so you can help Coran and I with the tonic since it's kind of like your speciality of cooking." Allura said.

Hunk nodded eagerly, "That's perfect with me Princess, those planets are giving me an eery vibe."

"Really? I think they're great." Lance said, elbowing Hunk.

"Lance." Allura chided, "This is to be taken very seriously, do you understand? We don't know what will happen during your missions so you have to be completely focused, alright?"

Lance nodded, "I understand."

Allura gave him a small smile, "Good... thank you, Paladins. Now, Pidge and Keith, you better head off immediately, and take only Keith's lion." She instructed as she handed Pidge a black box, "Put the crystals in here once you find them, gather as many as you can and please, be careful."

Pidge nodded. Lance ruffled her hair as she said goodbye to him and Hunk and then sped off with Keith.

"Alright, Lance we better-" Shiro began.

"Wait." Coran interrupted.

Lance looked at him with a confused look.

"With your lions weakening, I'm afraid that you can't land them on Pheylix. The freezing atmosphere will interfere with the magic and it could make things worse. But, don't worry, there is oxygen on the planet, you just can't breath it for more than 5 minutes." Coran explained.

"So.. I guess you're giving us a ride then?" Lance aaked.

Coran shook his head, "I've constructed a pod that will get you to and from the planet."

"Thank you Coran, we'll be back soon." Shiro said as he collected the box and headed towards the pod.

"Bye buddy." Lance said as he fist bumped Hunk.

"Don't take to long." Hunk called after him.

oOOo

"Should we be on fire right now?" Lance asked as they broke through the atmosphere of Pheylix.

"Uh... I don't think so." Shiro said as he tightened his grip on the controls.

"Well... should we freak out?" Lance asked, his voice growing louder.

"Probably." Shiro responded, his voice growing as well.

"OK GOOD BECAUSE WE'RE FRICKIN ON FIRE- AHHHHHH" Lance screamed as they grew closer to the ground.

"I'M KIND OF AWARE OF THAT, THANK YOU LANCE!" Shiro screamed back.

"KIND OF WHAT DO YOU MEAN KIND OF?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"OH MY GOOOOOOD!"

The pod hit the ground with a loud crash, followed by Shiro yelling at Lance to stop screaming.

"Oh- my- God.. That wasn't okay." Lance gasped as he held his chest.

Shiro fiddled with the controls, "It's fried.. I guess we'll just have to tell Allura that we'll need a ride home." He muttered as he climbed out of the pod.

Lance climbed out after him. He slipped coming out though, and fell into the snow.

Shiro chuckled as he helped him up, "We land on a new planet and the first thing you do is fall."

"What can I say, I'm a clumsy guy who likes to make an entrance." Lance said as he brushed off the snow.

Shiro pulled up the radar from the screen on his arm, "It turns out that there is actually a small forest area where the crystals grow." He said as he eyed the map.

"A forest?... Where?" Lance asked as he looked around, only to see snow on the horizon.

"Uh.. North." Shiro said, pointing forward.

Lance groaned as he finally noticed the small speck of green off in the distance.

"That's so far." He muttered.

"We'll then we better get walking." Shiro said as he began treking the long miles forward.

Lance reluctantly trudged behind him, looking around every now and again.

This planet seemed rather empty and harmless, but Lance couldn't help but feel that something was incredibly off.

Eyyyy there's chapter one! The first few chapters are going to be relatively light hearted and normal, but just you wait because I have a crap ton of angst planed and actully.. maybe cried when I made it... so have fun looking forward to THAT!
