Summary
The arena’s packed.
Commander Ozen, the arena master himself, stands tall between the four towers, armor glinting dark under the light pounding down on them both. The two furred ridges on his skull are bristling with excitement, and there’s a smug, vicious light in his eyes. He flexes his claws, plants his long legs firm.
Hunk steps through the opposite door, small in the vast steel mouth of the blood-sands, and the crowd screams with death in its teeth.

Summary
It seems like such a stupid oversight that after days on end of floating through a surprisingly peaceful stretch of space, they somehow managed to miss a lone Galra fighter until he was literally right outside their window, but before Keith can even make it out of the common room, two things happen at once.
First, the Galra ship shoots out a bright light aimed directly for the Castle; for a brief moment, the entire room is engulfed in it. It otherwise doesn’t result in any explosions, but it does leave Keith with spots in his eyes and a strange ringing in his ears, and he freezes in place, trying to regain his senses. Second, somehow—though Keith has no idea how—the light apparently affects Lance, and only Lance, because in one breath, he’s making sense—or, at least, as much sense as Lance can ever make—and then in the next breath, he’s…not.
(In which it turns out there’s a universal translator on the Castle, and one day it breaks, revealing that Allura and Coran’s don't actually speak English, and that Lance has been speaking in Spanish this whole time, which for some reason, Keith finds himself very hung up on.)
