[ Sometimes, being a Paladin of Voltron is a pretty sweet deal. You get to travel the galaxy and meet fascinating and attractive new alien races, grow closer to friends and teammates, and be a hero. Sure, you have little to no idea how far away from Earth and everyone you've ever known you are at any given moment, you get thrown through unstable wormholes and onto hostile planets constantly, you're fighting tooth and nail every day against a nearly undefeatable army of evil, and may, in fact, die before any of it pays off. But the cons don't outweight the pros, do they?
Oh wait. They totally do.
They totally do and space sucks.
Space sucks when your giant robot space cat is pinned down behind an asteroid, guarding the giant robot space cat of some stupid mullet-headed jerk who thinks he's too good for you while he boards a nearby satellite outpost. It especially sucks when said jerk wasn't supposed to get out of his lion in the first place, and you're both cut off from the castle and your teammates, some interference from the asteroid field interrupting any attempt to get in contact with them. But it sucks the most of all when the red lion suddenly springs to life all on her own, breaking out of your carefully maintained cover to lunge for her paladin, who's suddenly floating lifeless through space with injuries visible and glowing—glowing??—even through his armor. ]
