The members of the Voltron team sat around the living room of Mia's mansion.  Pidge and Hunk were dressed in their new clothes, while Keith was in a red sweter and jeans,  Sven was in a white blouse and a pair of slacks, and Lance wore Rowens blue shirt with the huge collar.  Mia was up on her computer trying to find anything that may tell what had happened.  Keith looked at each of his team members wondering if they were okay with what was happeing.
    "Keith, nothing is wrong." Lance spoke up breaking the deafning silence.
    "What makes you think I thought something was wrong?" Keith asked stunned that he asked this question.
    "You've been asking yourself for the past hour if we were okay with what was going on." Sven stated looking up from the book he had taked off the bookshelf.
    "But... I didn't say that aloud." Keith said a befuddled look on his face.
    "You didn't?" Pidge asked opeining one of his eyes.
    "No, at least I don't think I did.  Did I?" Keith asked looking at the others.
    "Not that you mention it, it did seem kinda weird that he was talking to himslef out loud." Hunk added as he muched on a sandwich.
    "It doesn't surprise me that you could hear him." Mia said walking into the room.
    "What do you mean?" Keith asked standing up.
    "You see, the armors my friends wore allowed them to have a mental link.  And since you are here and they aren't and the armors appeared with you, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you now wear their armors." Mia said looking down not really wanting to beleive in it herself.
    "We have their armors?" Hunk asked with a slight hint of excitement in his voice.
    "It would seem like it."  Mia stated nodding her head.
    "Okay, if we do have these armors, we should try and get ready to use them if we have to.  You mentioned the type of weapons they used.  Could you explain them a bit better?" Keith asked looking to Mia.
    "Well, Wildfire uses twin katana's." Mia stared.
    "I do know how to use a sword.  I think I'll be okay." Keith said.
    "Lance and I also know how to use swords.  Do any of the other armors have them?" Sven asked.
    "Halo has a NoDachi, but I'm afraid you can't switch weapons.  Since Pidge had Sage's orb, he'll have to use it." Mia explained.
    "And exactly how long is this sword?" Pidge asked couriosly.
    "Umm.. about this long." Mia motioned with her hands showing the height of it from th floor.
    "Your jokeing right?" Pidge asked gulping, "That things bigger then I am."
    "Well, in one of the ledgends my grandfather told me, the armors will fit the wearers.  So maybe the sword with shorten for you." Mia suggested.
    "If we don't have swords, what weapons do we have?" Lance asked gesuring to himself and Sven.
    "Well, You'll have a bow and arrow, and Sven will have a Yari." Mia explained.
    "Bow and Arrows?" Lance asked nervously, "I was never able to shoot arrows."
    "Rowen has an extra set down by the cabin.  In fact, all the guys have spare weapons you can use to practice." Mia said walking over to the window and looking down at the lake.
    "What weapon do I have?" Hunk asked swollowing another bite of his sandwich.
    "You have a three secion staff.  One end is a Niginata." Mia informed him.
    "I think I can handle that." Hunk said as she finished off his meal and stood up.
    "Well, what are we waiting for?" Lance asked standing up.
    "Hunk you just ate." Pidge said out of nowhere.
    "Huh? How.. oh.. that link thing." Hunk said looking at Mia, "Is there any way of shuting that thing down?"
    "There is, but I do not know how.  I can only suggest that you will it shut." Mia commented shrugging her shoulders.  The five closed their eyes and then opened them a moment later.  Everyone remained silent for a moment and then desided that it had work.  They gathered some clothes and packed up the jeep with the supplies they would need for a week of training at the cabin.


    "Princess, what exactly are we up against?" Rowen asked as they sat around the table after they had eaten.
    "Well, our enemy is King Zarkan of Planet Doom."
    "The enemy's an entire planet?" Kent exclaimed still stuffing some scraps of food into his mouth.
    'THat's not much different then what we've battled against." Ryo pointed out.
    "What do you mean? Who is your enemy?" the Princess asked her curiosity aroused.
    "We fight the Nether relm." Sage explained.
    "The Nether Relm?" She asked not knowing what it was.
    "Yea, a deamon relm.  Right now, it is being guarded by the last of the anciets, Kayura and the Masho." Ryo explained.
    "Ahh, that must be difficult.  How do you fight an enemy like that?"
    "We have... well, we used to have armors." Kento started to explain.
    "Are these armor's the reason to your discomfort here? You're not used to not haveing them, am i correct?"
    "Yes.  Each of our armors bore a virtue.  For example, mine was trust.  From the day I was born my since of trust was very high.  I could tell without thinking whether I could trust someone or not.  But now that we don't have the armors, I can't do that.  It scares me that I can't since that.  I'm sorry, Princess, about how I acted earlier." Cye said bowing a bit respectfully.
    "Ah, Cye, it is all right.  I understand why you did such a thing.  It is understandable." The Princess smiled, "I'll give you a hint about trust though.  As a princess, I have to be able to trust many people with the many things that it takes to run a world.  And you can not tell how trustworthy a person can be from the outside.  You have to look inside them.  I remeber, when Kento came to see you.  You didn't know if you could trust him, but right when you looked in his eyes you knew.  That's how you've got to know now.  You can't trust this power you once had, but you must rely on a since that is also strong.  You still have traces of that power in you, I can tell that.  So you must harvest that little bit of power and use it to it's fullest abilities."  Cye listend intently to the Princesses words and took them as if she was proclaiming a law, never to forget what she had just said.
    "Thank you Princess.  I will work on it the best I can." Cye said truly smiling for the first time since they had been there.
    "No, Cye, Thank you.  You are the ones that helped me realize this in just the small amount of time you've been here." The Princess replied.
    "Ah, Princess, not to change the subject, but how do you fight against this planet Doom?  Surly, form the looks of this castle, not just by armys?"  Rowen asked.
    "Yes, you are right, we have only the guards in this castle.  The robot lions fight the planets robot army's." The Princess explained.
    "Robot Lions?" Ryo asked.
    "Yes, five lion robots.  You now have the keys, so I'm only to guess that you are to piolet them if they are needed, but I will not use them now, unless it is a supreme emergency." Allura explained.
    "Let's up that never happens." Sage commented, "We would be in a bad postion if we were forced into machines we didn't know how to pilote."


    The sun was setting down by the lake where the Voltron force were learning how to use their new weapons,
    "Lance!! Watch it will ya!! You about took my haed off!"  Hunk yelled over to where Lance was holding a compound bow.
    "Well, get out of my way then!" Lance yelled back.
    "I am out of your way! The target's over there!!" Hunk yelled pointing in the oppisite direction.
    "Pidge, watch where your swinging that thing!" Sven exclaimed ducking the large sword.
    "I can't help it.... It's too big! And too heavy!!" Pidge said as the sword went crashing to the ground.
    "Oi, White Blaze,  I hope to god that Kayura and them can keep peace in the nether relm till the guys can come back.." Mia prayed as she watched the five bumble around with the weapons.  White Blaze sat at her feet hopeing the same thing, and praying his children were all right. 1
