Silent Lover

Chapter 3

Lance was rudely awoken to sirens blaring, and he groaned noisily. He hopped up slowly and changed before jogging to the pods, as the same irritating alarm played over the speakers. Alluras voice rang harshly through the halls as Lance jumped into a pod, shooting off to whatever planet needing saving this time. As he watched the planet's growing silhouette, he felt his stomach churning. Something felt different today. Maybe something interesting would finally happen. He landed, hopping out of the pod and running into the fight. He noticed that there weren't any soldiers this time, instead there were five people wearing a different type of armor, with helmets that blocked their faces. He immediately set loose a volley of arrows, but these people were fast. None of the arrows hit their targets, the people dodging them quickly as they went back to fighting the team.. He put the bow on his back, and instead pulled out his swords, going into battle. He noticed that they were all somewhat protective of one of the fighters, as they formed a loose horse shoe around them. Lance felt his heart lead as he noticed that the protected person in the middle was also fighting with a sword. Their technique wasn't as good as Lance's, but was better than Keith's. He smiled. 'Finally, a worthy opponent.' He ducked and dove through the team, running to the person quickly. The figure in the helmet had all of two seconds to meet Lance's blade. Sparks flew when their blades met, and Lance felt a rush he hadn't felt in forever. He laughed as they came apart, before rushing at the figure at a breakneck speed.

??? POV

Lotor grunted when what seemed to be the blue paladin rushed at him. He was stopped short when his eye fell upon the brightest blue he had ever met, and that caused him to narrowly deflect the blade. Their swords met, and sparks flew. He raised his eyebrows, surprised and confused when the paladin laughed. They broke apart, and he waited silently for the blue-eyed beauty to come at him. He let out a choked gasp when all the sudden, the paladin was right in front of him, sword raised. He was fast. Lotor grunted when they collided, his arms aching. Whoever he was fighting was obviously a master swordsman. He pushed the blue paladin away, their swords screeching. He reached up to the comms built into his helmet, panting lightly. "Zethrid, knock him out." The biggest nodded before swiftly moving behind the beauty and knocking him out. "Tie him up, and get back to the ship quickly." The other Paladins scrambled to get Lance back, but couldn't slow the mysterious people down. The team watched on in desperation as the smaller ship quickly created a wormhole and blasted back to the empire.

Lotor's/ ??? POV

"Sir, what should we do with him?" Lotor inhaled, mulling over what to do. Did he really have to hurt such a beautiful creature? "Send him to the witch. Once he wakes, have him questioned." Zethrid nodded, before walking to the cells. As much as Lotor hated to do this to such a beautiful human, he knew that they needed the information.
