The Hell Cyborg (Shiro x Male reader)

Chapter 15

A loud thud rang out in the training room as Shiro entered in time to see Keith being body-slammed to the floor by M/N. Keith spluttered out some saliva as he felt the air leave his lungs in one swift motion, followed by pain shooting through his back. Lance laughed at Keith getting his ass beat, Hunk winced beside him and Pidge was happily recording to look back on.

"Argh!" Keith grunted as he writhed on the floor in pain and looked up at the smirking face of M/N.

"Nice try emo boy," M/N said and straightened up before his eyes landed on Shiro at the entrance. He waved toward Shiro before looking down at Keith who was catching his breath in an upright position. Keith then turned his attention to M/N and stumbled to his feet while he tried to attack M/N again, not yet accepting defeat.

Keith half ran at M/N again and tried desperately to punch him or land some sort of hit. M/N just laughed and continued to dodge and deliver punches and hits at Keith. He held back his strength since he didn't want to significantly harm Keith with his full strength.

Shiro walked further into the room and moved to stand beside Pidge, Hunk, and Lance, crossing his arms as he came to stand still. His grey eyes were locked on M/N as he suddenly pinned Keith to the ground. His gaze was intense as he looked down at the struggling boy beneath him.

"Say you give up and I'll let you go," M/N said as he sighed, he was hardly struggling all that much with holding Keith down. Keith on the other hand continued to struggle against the much stronger M/N. Well until he realised that there was no possible way he would be getting out of his grip and finally surrendered.

"Okay, fine, I give up" He reluctantly grumbled and M/N instantly let him go and got off him. He had a faint smile on his lips as he looked down at Keith who was sitting up and rubbing his sore arms.

"You are good, but you are too overconfident in your moves and you need better work on some aspects. If you sharpen them, you can be a lot stronger than you are now" he pointed out as he pulled Keith up from the floor. The others in the room stared in awe at the power dominance that M/N had just displayed over Keith.

Shiro watched as M/N aided Keith off the floor and started to give him pointers along with demonstrations regarding some of his moves. Although stubborn at first, Keith reluctantly followed along and began to start an unexpected training regime with M/N.

The others watched and took notes themselves before Pidge ran over and asked to join in. M/N looked a little shocked but smiled and nodded, letting Keith practice his moves for now while M/N focused on Pidge and her fighting style. M/N fought against Pidge, locking his eyes on every move that Pidge made, mentally noting each move, and adapting his methods to match and counter each of Pidge's.

Eventually, it ended up being a whole group training session and it wasn't until Allura came in to check on them all did she saw all of them panting on the floor and in training gear, M/N standing in the middle, seeming undefeated. The only one not on the ground and tuckered out was Shiro who was locked in a staring contest with M/N before they lunged at each other and and started to attack.

Shiro's Galran arm clashed with M/N's armoured arms as he blocked the attack and pushed against it. Shiro glared down at him and then pulled back before he swung at him again. M/N dodged the attack and swept low to the ground, lashing his foot out to try and trip Shiro. He noticed at the last second and managed to dodge the attack.

Before Shiro could prepare to launch another attack M/N was already at his throat and landed a punch on Shiro's stomach, causing him to groan in slight pain. He grabbed M/N's arm and pulled him close into a head-butt. Both men groaned but M/N was quicker in recovery, with rough hands and an intense surge of strength, he clasped Shiro's arm and shoulder before slamming him into the ground. Allura gasped when she saw it and covered her mouth.

"What are you guys doing?" She called out as Shiro and M/N turned to look at her as they both panted heavily from their short but intense fight.

"Training" Shiro groaned out as he pushed himself off the floor, wiping sweat off his brow, and breathing deeply.

M/N nodded and adjusted his shirt, his eyes flicking to Allura's as a glint shone in his e/c eyes, one with hidden meaning and had Allura pondering if what she saw was a good thing or not.

"I see, well I'm glad to see you all practicing and training then," she said, noting the others who looked worn out and completely beat. "Anyway you should all clean up, Corran has made some lunch for you all," she said, collecting herself a little bit.

"Wait Corran made lunch?" M/N asked with a disgusted look on his face. "Princess please tell me you are lying" He half pleaded hoping her words weren't true. The others quickly agreed as Allura looked at them and then started to giggle.

"No he didn't but it is around lunch time so Hunk you will need to come sort lunch out for everyone" She spoke while covering her mouth to try and stifle her laughing. Audible sighs of relief echoed in the large training room as they thanked their lucky stars Corran hadn't attempted to make another of his horrid dishes for them to eat.

While M/N was used to eating slightly bad food back on the Galra home ship, Corran's food was by far the worst he'd ever tasted, and would much rather eat dirt than try it again.

Hunk pushed himself up off the floor and dusted himself off, leaving the training room to wash up before he got to work on making lunch for the group. M/N got to work helping the others to get up and head to their rooms before starting to fix up the training room. Shiro stayed behind and aided him, getting the job done faster while the two of them talked comfortably.

Time passed quickly and lunch was thankfully served by Hunk, much to Corran's hidden disappointment. Everyone happily ate their fills and chatted about the earlier training and what they had learned, Lance boasting a little louder as usual with Keith flicking sly remarks that irked the Cuban male. M/N ate in silence, eating his meal at a steady pace.

When everyone finished they all thanked Hunk and headed off to relax for the rest of day, which Allura had allowed due to the training they had all done earlier. With everyone off and doing what they want, M/N headed toward the bay with the lions. He had one hand subtly touching the lion pendant dangling around his neck, a small tingling feeling sparking from it, a feeling he was more than used to.

Once he reached the bay he looked around at all the lions, slowly going to each one and gliding his hands over the cold metal of their enormous bodies. When he looked up at heads of the lions he noticed how all of them had their heads down and looking at him. Each of their yellow eyes were locked on him and his movements. It felt... intimidating but also calming at once, it was an odd feeling and one that had him confused.

He continued walking through the bay till his feet stopped in front of the black lion. He stared at it for a while, this was of course the lion he was here for the most. Though his mission had not long started he had a feeling he could steal this lion with ease. Even without the trust of the paladins. Soon he felt a warm tingle on his chest, looking down he could see the white lion pendant glowing softly and he rubbed it gently.

He then took a seat by the paw of the black lion, leaning back and closing his eyes softly, letting his mind drift off while he held the pendant. Before long, sleep took hold and sent him into the world of dreams, or so it would seem at first.
