A Few Thousand Lifetimes

Chapter 2: Breakfast, shoe-polish, and Galra

Ahsoka's POV

-ep meep meep meep

I open my eyes and roll over, turn off my alarm and get out of bed. I quickly glance at the clock, Phewph, only 6 am. I walk over to my closet, and put on my casual outfit, on my way out the door I grab my lightsabers and my Bayard. I mean it never hurts to be prepared right? Good thing none of the others are up yet, they're not exactly quiet and I DO NOT want them waking up Coran, he's not the best cook and he always tries to make breakfast, I don't have the heart to tell him that he's not a good cook. 

By now I'm in the kitchen to surprise the team I want to make them all buttercream pancakes, it's really similar to an Altean recipe so Allura and Coran should like it too. Hmm, I think the flour is in that cabinet, the milk, eggs, butter, and buttercream are in the refrigerator, the sugar I know is in the cabinet on the right along with the baking powder and the baking soda.

 I grab a bowl and start mixing the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients then put them together in the mixer. now that the batter is done I can put them in the pan. Hmmm, in the lion castle with the heat from their burners it should only take about....10 seconds per side. This shouldn't take long, I'm only making 3 pancakes a paladin, well 5 for Hunk.

"Oh my G*d, what is that amazing smell?"

I spin around ready to attack with my Bayard

"WAIT WAIT IT'S ME HUNK!!!!!" Hunk says, scared I'll attack him

"HUNK!! oh my gosh are you trying to get killed! Don't DO that what if I didn't realize it was you in time and attacked?"I ask angrily

Hunk looks at me sheepishly, "sorry, but seriously, what are you making it smells AMAZING!"

"what's all the fuss about guys? I just woke up." Lance asks strolling into the kitchen wearing a bathrobe, slippers, and a face mask.

I groaned, out of all the new paladins I think Lance is going to end up being the biggest problem.

Anikan's POV

I was on a cruiser with Obi-Wan, Masters from the Jedi council, the 501st battalion, and the younglings and padiwans from the temple(why we brought a batallion and with us i have no clue, the younglings and padiwans came because they neede to learn more obout the other planets) when Master Yoda spoke up,

"Curious, you look, question do you have?"

I nod my head and answer "masters, if I may, what exactly do we need to new tech for so badly?"

master Yoda answered me "operate without it, our communicators can not, lose contact with the others, we will."

I winced, with no communications, we wouldn't be able to tell who was in trouble and we wouldn't be able to tell who needed back up.

Master Windu continued where Master Yoda left off "I'm sure you understand why that must not be allowed to happen and why we need to travel to Olkarion

Right as I was about to answer we landed I was about the open the door when Master Yoda spoke up " Olkarion, this is not, Much trouble are we in."

Uh oh, that can only mean one thing, Galra.

Ahsoka's POV

After a very nice breakfast, I quickly run upstairs to my room so I can grab a special communicator Pidge designed especially for this mission, it has a small camera so I can see whats going on, a microphone so I can hear what Keith, a speaker, so Keith can hear me, a holographic projector for a distraction, and a teleporter to teleport me there if Keith feels like he wants help, my cover if that happens it that I'm the paladins trainer and I'll go as Ahsoka. I'm pretty sure Keith will be in the armory getting ready for his mission so I run there. As I walk in I see Keith looking at his armor

"you know, if you're going to pretend to crash land on a planet chances are you'll be a little scuffed up, do we have any black shoe polish?"I say,

Keith turns to look at me and answers " yeah it's on top of that cabinet over there." he says pointing to a cabinet on the other side of the room

I use the force to pull it over to me and toss it over to him, "since your the only one who can touch that armor you'll need to apply a bit of this on it to look like scuff marks."

Just as he finishes my little sister walks into the room, "Keith, it's time."

Anakin's POV

well,that little trip didn't go well. and now were all sitting in cells, I was with Obi-Wan. I glance up at Obi-Wan, "remind me again why ALL of us came on this mission?"

Obi-Wan just groaned, "I'm beginning to wonder if it was just your uncanny ability to get captured that landed us in this situation Anakin,

I smirked, "Aw come on you give me to much credit, I wasn't even flying the shuttle this time!"

Obi-Wan was about to retort when the doors opened, usually, it takes me at least 20 more minutes to annoys the guards that much. The door opens and I see a group of Galra guards bring in a teenager, dressed in armor that's red, white,  black and covered in scratch marks. He lookes even younger than me.

He smirked at them, "good luck finding my lion, you losers couldn't find your way out of a paper bag!" the guards scoul and leave through the door "Hi, I'm Keith, who are you guys?"

I glanced over at Obi-Wan who's mouth had dropped open in shock at seeing how young the teenager was, what was he doing in a galra prison anyways. Then i remembered how many planets the Galra had taken over and how strick they were and i quickly swollowed those ywo questions. "Pardon my old master, I'm Anakin Skywalker and this is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi We're from the Jedi order.

"I thought the Jedi were gonna sit this war out" Keith said glancing at us curiously.

"We are," Obi-Wan told him, "We were trying to gather some communicators and seem to have gotten ourselves into a small situation, I'm this is all a complete misunderstanding tht simply has to be talked out, that's all."

Keith winced, "you don't know what they do to prisoners, do you?" He asked gently

  I'm almost afraid of what that means

"er-no, what DO they like to do to prisoners," Oni-Wan asked, now slightly nervous

He glanced at us symphaseticly "well they used to divide the prisoners in two, those that would go to a work camp for slave labor, but  their last slave camp was destroyed 2 weeks ago, now all of the prisoners go to the arena, it's a major death arena, prisoners are forced to fight each other to the death for the sick entertainment of the Galra, if you survive long enough you'll become a test subject for Haggar and her Druids, and still be fighting in the arena."

Obi-wan and I winced in horror, even the separatists weren't that cruel, but he wasn't finished

"But lucky for us, this place is on the top of Voltrons Hit List, with any luck we'll be out of here before you two even have to fight. So if you wanna stay out of the Arena tomorrow...don't cause trouble, and let me go first." he finished smirking

Obi-Wan gasped, "how do you know this, have you fought before?"

Keith didn't even bat an eyelash "yes, I've been here since this morning"

"I think i'm going to bed, i need tome time to process this" i say to Obi-wan as i lay down and close my eyes, him following close behind

3rd person POV

As soon as Keith is sure both Anakin and Obi wan are completely asleep, (He even gassed them just to be sure) he puts his hand in the scanner and the doors open he quickly slips out.
