the dark side of light

Lance has been alive for thousands of years, working alongside Lotor for a better tomorrow but that changed when he found out from one of the galras that Lotor was harvesting the alteans that they had saved together. he was tempted to find the blades but since he was technically involved they might attack him so he did what he thought was best. Do like his sister and disappear into the stars. His last memory of Altea was the castle flying away and his pod being shot away. He was only a kid but when a galra found him she hid him and raised him with a gentle heart as she knew the alteans and didn't want this one to be corrupted by the empire that failed to kill him. She believes that he survived for a reason. Years went by and Lance disguised himself as a galra as the one that raised grew old and died. Since then he kinda latched on to the only other with altean blood and Zarkon noticed it. He appointed Lance as Lotor's bodyguard and sent them off to harvest a planet. Lotor was kindhearted at that time and gained Lance's trust but as years bleed to centuries and centuries bleed to millenniums Lotor's heart hardened. At the same time, Lance was blinded by the trust they had formed unknowingly following in his father's footsteps but unlike his father, he saw it and survived but couldn't do anything cause it was too late, both him and Lotor was using the energy to survive. He nearly puked when he found out. As he planned to escape he couldn't even look at the person he saw as a friend. he got to earth a few years before the course of the show and pretended to not remember anything and got taken in by the McClains.

He lived a normal life for a while once he got the quintessence out of his system he felt normal, it was like a fog had lifted and his senses were sharper. That was when he noticed his classmate had purple eyes, he had sworn they were gray but when he saw the anger and that one of his parents was gone his heart sank "The report that led me to this planet said they couldn't investigate due to a rogue agent that was taken care of..." Keith looked over "What you muttering bout?" Lance froze "Nothing!" He tried to be better than Keith and for the next year, he was in everything but flying. He was the best cargo pilot but there were no more spaces in fighter class... that was until Kieth was expelled and he got bumped up. That is where he met Hunk and Pidge. He had tried so hard to get close to the galra in his class now he had no chance. he looked down as he reminisced about his childhood before the galra and shook his head "I can't remember them!? My real family..." Hunk looked over "You're adopted?" Lance nodded slightly "My family died in a fire and I over at a friend's house and I survived... I can't remember their face only the face of their killer" Hunk sighed "Well talk tonight. If Iverson catches us talking we'll get detention" Lance nodded and put his head down, unknown to Hunk Lance had promisson to nap in class cause he had been caught 'studying' into the early morning but it was to get an idea where the lions might be. He knew Blue was on earth and had a strong connection to her if needed he could call her from her slumber but the others he had only rough ideas, he knew Black the strongest and biggest of the lions was sealed in the castle so Zarkon couldn't get to it.

After class, Hunk woke him up and rolled his eyes "Lance. Iverson is gonna get annoyed if you keep sleeping through his class" Iverson came up to them "he has permission. several members of the faculty found him asleep in the library on a daily basis so he has permission to sleep in class as long as he gets notes. We are aware of his family situation. The McClane found him a few years ago, lost and exhausted. Since he was still of age they adopted him. No one knows how long he was on his own but he was clueless" Hunk was taken aback by the softness in the instructor's voice "You care about him?" Iverson sighed "More than the rest of you brats. He works day and night to be the best so he can make something of his life. When his parents enrolled him they said that he always loved the stars and wanted to do something to make his life matter or else it was a waste that he was saved when his whole family was killed" Hunk teared up and Lance woke up and yawned "oh class is over?" Hunk hugged him and cried "You matter buddy!" Lance glared at Hunk "I might have forgotten their faces but even after all this time, my father's name is still out there. And his murderer is still alive. I need to get out there and fill his shoes. He was a great explorer, inventor, and ruler. My sister had his spirit but never got to prove herself cause she was too close to him. I was 6 when they were taken from me and I will do anything to get revenge" Lance held his head "damn withdrawals!" he got up and went to his room and dropped the disguise as his medium-length hair shifted to light blue and blue marks appeared on his cheeks. He keeps his ears hidden cause he no longer has the quintessence to hide them again but he looks at himself in the mirror as he lets his hair down "I know you're out there Alla. I can feel it. I-I'm sorry. due to my actions, our people are batteries"
