Chapter Text
I watched as a bright light filled my vision, and all I could think is, “Kolivan is so going to kill me.”
As I cracked open my eyes all I could see were fuzzy black shapes with glowing yellow eyes. My head was pounding and my body was tingling. I grunted as I sat up, but I only heard high pitched squeaks. As I blearily looked down my eyes flicked open in shock. ‘What… happened… to me?’ I thought to myself in cold dread. My hands were not what I remembered; they were small and stubby. I was covered in a purple blanket, and as I kicked it off I could see I wore not my blade suit that I had gotten used to, or the medical suit that is given to all hospital patients that I have equally gotten used to, but a bright red footed sleeper! I looked up with fright and confusion in my eyes at who I can now discern as Kolivan.
He was looking down at me and saying, “… a Gaorazolian blast from Korpus II. Further inquiry will be discussed in my quarters.” He then proceeded to type on this glass screen above me that seemed to incase me like come kind of pod or incubator. As I looked around I realized that it was much smaller than all the other pods and medical equipment and was prone to think of the thing holding me as the latter.
The glass slid upwards and Kolivan reached down and scooped me up. He acted as if I weighed nothing! Though to him I probably did. He held me close to his chest with one hand supporting my upper back and the other supporting my butt. I came to the sudden realization I had an extra padded clothing on as well. ‘This suckes’ I thought to myself as I griped Kolivan’s uniform and he carried me to his room.
I heard the swoosh of a door opening and felt Kolivan removed me from his body. I reluctantly let go of his clothes and finally looked up at him. He placed me down on his desk and crossed his arms. He told me, “What you did was fool hardy and risky. You undermined the mission and this is what happened. The effects of the ray were unprecedented; while we had some idea on what it would do to full Galra it obviously affected your Halfling status differently. It regressed you into a kitling around two decaphebes old. Understandably you will be benched while we search for a cure.”
I crossed my arms in annoyance and said in a voice much higher than I wished but at least without a baby lisp, “Kolivan, you can’t really expect me to sit back and do nothing. There’s got to be something I can do while I’m stuck like this! Maybe I can-“
“I WILL NOT ALLOW A CHILD TO PARTAKE IN WAR!” he growled.
I shrunk back and fought the tears forming against my will
Taking a huge sigh and in a much calmer voice, “I’m afraid, in the meantime that the Mamora headquarters are no place for a child. We will contact the Paladins of Voltron to host you in their care until that time.” He then walked around the desk and sat down to call the castle ship.
‘What have I gotten myself into...?’
