Secrets Between Blood

Chapter 27: Battle of Power and Strength (Part Two)

Why am I like this? Here's part two, before three... the one i published on accident.

Keith's POV:

"Come on, almost there." I said to myself, turning the last corner. I stopped just outside the door. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked around. Lance was standing in the far side of the room in altean form with his sword. Haggar was standing a couple feet in front of Zarkon, readying an attack. Zarkon was seething from rage, from what I could tell. The plan must've been working so far.

Without a second thought, I ran in towards Lance, watching all their eyes turn to me. "Keith!" Lance yelled in relief. I smirked at him before stopping next to him, looking at Zarkon and Haggar.

"You couldn't wait?" I asked, side glancing at Lance.

"Of course not. I had to get Allura out. Is she safe?"

"Yeah, I sent her to Blue." I replied.

"Good. Now-"

"Hey!" We stopped out chatting and turned to Haggar, She was pointing at me. "You! You have something that belongs to me! I can sense it with you!" I furrowed my brows in confusion. Then I remembered the pendent around my neck.

"Oh, yeah, It belongs to me now." I answered, pulling out my bayard and my mothers knife, transforming them both. I saw both of their eyes widen when they saw my sword. At the same time, I was turning to my galra form. I turned to Lance smiling.

"Shall we then?"

Lance's POV:

"Shall we then?" Keith asked, and I smirked back.

"Eh, why not. We got this far, didn't we?" I replied playfully, trying to downplay the danger of the situation.

"W-what? That's not possible!" Haggar was murmuring under her breath. She looked between Keith and I, utter disbelief showed on her face.

"Alright, I'll take Zarkon, you take Haggar. You'd probably be better at dealing with the magic stuff. That cool with you?" Keith asked, twirling his swords, ready to fight.

"Sounds good. Don't get killed, will ya?" I replied watching as both Zarkon and Haggar got over their surprise, readying to fight as well.

"Promise." Keith said before taking off. Within an instant, he was around Haggar and standing in front of Zarkon. I took a deep breath, trying to convince myself that we could take them on ourselves. I looked at Haggar, raising my sword.

"Well, let the show begin." Haggar hissed in my direction, such malice behind her words. We both waited only a moment before we began. Haggar instantly vanished, causing me to panic a moment. Then I felt her energy appear again next to me. I instantly rolled forward, successfully dodging another one of her attacks.

I rolled onto my feet, swinging my sword at her. But she had vanished again and again, reappearing in different locations around the room instantly. Her laughter was echoing around the room, taunting me. After a few more seconds of this, I finally got fed up with it.

"ENOUGH!" I yelled out, releasing a strong wave of quintessence from my body. I heard Haggar's shriek as she went flying back into a pillar a few feet behind where she last appeared. She crashed to the ground, and I could hear a few cracks from her joints as she tried to stand.

"Ugh, you insect! How dare you!"

"Sorry not sorry." was all I could reply.
