Shiro and Valor were clashing.

Shiro tried everything, but nothing could stop him.

Valor was nothing but brute strength and resistance.

"Try again Paladin", he laughed.

Shiro groaned when he hit the wall.

Allura tried grabbing Valor by the arm, but only managed to slam him into the floor. He immediately retaliated by kicking her in the stomach across the room.

Shiro stood up, ready to take or give another punch. That's what a good leader does.

They don't give up.

A deep rumbling noise filled the room.
It sounded distant at first, but then it gradually became louder.

Bam.

Bam.

Bam.

BAM.

With the loudest crash, Valor was-

Gone?!?

A hole in the wall replaced where he stood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Valor was caught off guard.

His body was suddenly sore.

What the hell was that?

Standing up, he noticed he was in a completely new room. A storage unit, it seemed.

The only thing that was in the room was a woman.

Young. Distinctly Galra. Pretty.
Oversized fuzzy ears. She wore a sweater and donned a pixie cut, with bangs that parted over her wide yellow eyes.

The woman sat cross-legged on the floor amidst rubble, looking up curiously at him.

Valor scratched his head.

"I don't ever remember seeing you around here", he admitted.

"Oh, I've heard of you!", the girl said. Her voice was strangely soft and sweet.
"You're Valor, right? Gincun and Vian's older brother?"

"How do you-"

"Know that?"
The girl laughed a tinkling laugh.
"I could hear everything. Sound waves, you know? You were the one who poisoned my friend and I. You're the reason my sister is missing."

She stopped laughing.
"You work for my brother", she noted quietly.

Valor leaned in to grab her, but with an unknown magic of sorts, she flipped upside-down.
Now she was sitting on the ceiling.

She clicked her tongue.
"Be careful. I bite."

She grinned maniacally, revealing to Valor the most shark-like grin he'd ever seen in his life. A full set of dagger-like teeth gleamed at him.

"You don't scare me!", Valor spat in her face.

He cried out when he felt something in his chest crack.

The girl curled back another finger, and another one of his ribs broke.

The pain was awful, but not intolerable.

The girl somersaulted back to a right-side up position in front of him.

Valor couldn't move. Something stopped him from even budging.

His heart pounded out of his chest.

"You are scared. I can feel your fear.", she teased,  "Who wouldn't be scared of their worst Nightmare?"

With that last statement, Nightmare sent her knee straight into Valor's chest, shattering whatever ribs were still in tact.

He doubled over, clutching at his chest.

"Wheeeee!", Nightmare sung happily, spinning around with her arms in the air, "Doesn't it feel great to finally be awake?!"

She stepped on his leg, breaking it instantly.

Valor was in agony now.

How could something that looked so small and harmless be so terrifying?!

Nightmare crouched down in front of him and stroked the top of his head.
"Aww", she pouted, "You're hurt..."

Her fingers yanked his hair upwards.
"Good", she growled.

With inhuman strength, she sent him flying back through the wall.
