I lift myself up to the top of the pillar, luckily I managed to grab a part that was sticking out of it. Once I'm at the top I lay down feeling my heart beating in my eardrums. "I'm ok! I'm good!" I put my arm up and give the two of them a thumbs up.
"It's too dangerous! You'll never make it over here!" RJ yells to me as I slowly get back up to my feet.
"Trust me!" I yell before trying to steady my heartbeat. I look around, scanning the room to see if there are any alternative ways to get over to the other side. After a few minutes I take the bag off of my back and make sure it's securely closed up. I grab the top of it and begin swinging the bag back and forth.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Qi'ra yells at me with slight panic in her voice.
"Trust! I know what I'm doing!" I yell back still swinging the bag. Once the bag is in front of me at the perfect angle and momentum, I let go. I hear her gasp as the bag lands on the middle pillar staying on top of it. "See?" I hold my arms out to my side chuckling.
"Just hurry up and get over here already!" She yells, ordering me to go back there which makes me chuckle.
"Yes ma'am!" I laugh then take a step back and jump over to the middle pillar. I pick the bag back up and do the same thing again. Once I'm on the last pillar I toss the bag over to Qi'ra and RJ. I begin feeling a little light headed, but I shake it off and get ready to jump back over.
I take a deep breath and jump landing on the edge of where they were standing. I smile about to say something when suddenly the ground breaks from beneath my feet causing me to fall. Before I can react and try to grab anything Qi'ra grabs my hand making me stop and swing into the wall. "Come on give me a little help! I can't pull you up by myself!" I take my free hand and grab onto the wall then get my feet sturdy on the wall. I pull myself up as Qi'ra uses her strength to pull me up at the same time. Finally we get me up and I immediately lay down on my back out of breath as Qi'ra sits down on her butt next to me. "You need to stop almost dying" She says out of breath.
"Well it's not like I'm meaning too" I chuckle sitting up and looking behind her at RJ who was no longer in her backpack. "You ok back there bud?"
"I agree with her! You need to stop almost dying!" He yells, starting to beep in a upset manner.
"I can't promise I'll stop almost dying. But I'm not going to die" I smile standing up to my feet. "Now let's get out of this damn cave" I hold out my hand to help Qi'ra up from the floor.
"Yes please, let's" She sighs grabbing my hand so I hoist her up to her feet smiling.
"Hold me" RJ says standing on front of me.
"Why? You can walk now" I roll my eyes at him.
"Because you scared the hell out of me twice in 5 minutes!"
"Ok alright stop yelling" I groan picking him up as Qi'ra giggles a little bit. "Let's just go" I sigh starting to walk back towards the entrance of the cave. She grabs the bag of Beskar and follows after me.
"Are you feeling ok?" She checks as she furrows her brows.
"Yea why?" I look over at her confused while walking up next to her.
"You look pale" She looks me up and down as we get closer to the entrance.
"I mean I feel a little lightheaded but I'm sure it's from all the jumping and falling" I say trying to play it off as nothing.
"Are you sure that was a normal dart?" She asks as we approach the entrance of the cave. I place RJ down and grab onto Qi'ra's shoulders.
"I'm sure... it was just a normal dart. Don't.. worry about... me..." Suddenly my vision starts to blur until all I see is black.

Qi'ra's POV:
Suddenly Leo starts wobbling before completely collapsing to the floor. "Leo? Leo!" I get on my knees shaking him by the shoulders.
"Qi'ra what happened? Why did he pass out!?" RJ begins beeping in a panic as I look down at Leo.
"We need to get him on the ship" I get up to my feet and bend down wrapping my arms around him from under his arms.
"Why?"
"I'm pretty sure that was in fact a poison dart that hit him. The effects must've slowly been effecting him while we were getting the Beskar. Can you open the hatch to the ship?" I ask lifting Leo up as much as I can.
"Yes I can. I'll do it now" He quickly runs to the ship as I have to drag Leo along following after him. RJ opens the hatch and waits for me as I pull Leo onto the ship. "Do you know how to fly a ship?"
"Yes, I've had to fly quite a few times. I need to take him to the nearest planet to help him" I lay him down on the bed as he groans.
I quickly head into the cockpit and sit in the pilot seat, starting up the ship. I fly off to the nearest planet as quickly as I can when I hear Leo in the back with RJ. "RJ... Qi'ra... wh..where are we going?" I hear him ask weakly.
"We are going to get you help!" RJ exclaims.
"Help?.... I.. I'm f...ine.."
"Leo? Leo! He passed out again..." RJ says softly. I turn around and see him laying down with Leo in the bed.
"Don't worry RJ. He won't die.. I'll make sure of it."
