New Life

Forward from Here

Gunner is seen walking around the base, he couldn't sleep, he had medical issues, he was trying to find the clinic but all the hallways look the same even the map looks the same.

"*sigh* Curse this fucking long ass thing, I should've brought someone with me to help navigate." Gunner said out loud.

"You should've." Tolani said causing him to jump.

"Gah jeez Tolani you nearly gave me a heart attack." Gunner said as she rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Sorry about that luv, but why are you up? Trouble sleeping with a voltron princess on your bed?" Tolani asked with a smile.

"Fuck off, but yeah I'm having trouble due to my insomnia and my ghosts." Gunner replied.

"Ghosts? What sorta ghosts do you have?" Tolani questioned.

Gunner looked around to make sure no one else was nearby. "Promise me you won't tell anyone especially that Joey weasel." Gunner said as she nodded before he sighed.

"Remember when I said that I was raised by my grandparents and my grandfather was in Vietnam?" Gunner questioned as she nodded silently.

"Well two years before this all happened I just got back from my junior year I discovered that he had bone cancer from his time with the military, months and months went by until a year later he told me 'come on lad, I wanna hunt one last elk before this shit kills me' so we went out, I downed a elk and it was a big one he told me to get the antlers, and I did then I heard a shot, I turned around and I saw him drop, I ran to him and found out he took his own life, he didn't want to suffer anymore and it broke me." Gunner revealed as he broke down crying as Tolani could do only one thing and that was to hug him.

"It wasn't your fault Gunner, you had no say in it and it was wrong of him to not tell you." Tolani said as she rubbed his hair as he cried into her as she sat there with her friend for a few minutes as he got it all out.

After a few minutes more they both stood up as Gunner hugged her tightly.

"Thank you Tolani for being there." Gunner said as she smiled.

"No problem Gunner now then how's the new voltron doing?" Tolani asked as they separated.

"You're not gonna let that go are ya?" Gunner asked as he crossed his arms as she snickered.

"She quite literally looks like she's from voltron, just with medieval armor and is human." Tolani said as Gunner gave her the 'really' look on his face.

"Okay I see your point but she quite literally came from the Voltron series, she is just missing the skin tone." Tolani says as he rolls his eyes.

"Poor choice of words but still the others are waking up and then a meeting will be called." Tolani said as everyone gathered for breakfast and then settled around in the dining area as Gunner finished putting away the dishes as he made them pancakes.

"Alright everyone let's go over what we have planned today, we gotta explore more, me and Alqamar looked over and discovered we only covered a full twelfth of this whole bunker, probably less." Roman started off.

"Uh what do you mean by that exactly?" Petra asked.

"Well apparently most of the files were corrupted or off limits meaning something is there not meant for the bunker personal meaning something major is down their, but right now we'll only focus on exploring the top half of the bunker, Petra, Cole since you two don't have any experience with this, you'll stay up here until you're confident, we'll start off in teams of two until we have a better understanding of the area, Gunner, you and Tolani will explore the North East sector, Techie and Joey will go to the South West sector, me and Zi will explore the West South sector, any questions?" Roman asked as Alqamar did.
