Out There: A Voltron x Reader Story

Part 1 ~ Chapter 16 ~ The Quiet Before the Storm

The Quiet Before The Storm

❤️Keith's POV❤️
"Force field is down, you have a minute." I look at (y/n) behind me. I could tell she was scared, she was trying her best not to let it show, but I could feel it.

"Come on." I say softly, almost like a coax. She takes my hand and squeezes it. I pull her close to me again not letting go. Then I blast off. We make it out of the ring. Walking to the red lion (y/n) still holds my hand. Then without speaking, we take off moving into the shining stars above. Allura dictates the coordinates to me. It takes minutes to reach the neighboring planet, but it feels like hours suspended in this silence. As we near the atmosphere shots wiz past. I dodge them swiftly nearing the surface. I dive into the forest below cutting through the trees. Greens and oranges flash by in a blink.

"Keith, there's a cave up ahead." She says setting her hand on my shoulder moving to my side. "You can hide the lion in there." I fly inside navigating my way making sure to go deep into the tunnels. The galra knew we were here and if they found red. No. I land the lion in a nook behind a waterfall. Slipping on our helmets we hop out.

"Come on, let's hurry." I say and we start running.

"Umm Keith what exactly is the plan?" She asks looking across at me.

"Once we get the prisoners, Allura will meet us with a transportation pod and the prisoners will board the ship. Then we get back to red and leave. We've got this."

"What could go wrong?" She says laughing a little. Yeah what could go wrong. We reach the opening of the cave and turn right. Okay if I'm right we should be nearing, and yup there it is. A long fence stretches around a glara ship. Terrans chained to one another are being lead into it. I take out my sword cutting a hole in the fence. Piles of scrap metal lie scattered across the terrain. Using them as cover we sneak onto the premise. I dart ahead knocking out the two galra soldiers posted at the entrance. I signal to (y/n) to follow. We make our way onto the ship just as the platform closes behind us.

"Okay, we need to find where they are keeping them." I pull up the schematics Pidge had given us. Left, left, then a right. Easy enough. We make our way around the corner. Glara soldiers spot us firing. I pull up my shield to cover (y/n) but she moves ahead of me daggers in hand. Slashing them across neck and they fall to the floor. I quickly move past not looking at their motionless bodies. She was ruthless. But she was a warrior. We encountered the same threat at every turn, and every time she quickly dispelled of them. Finally we reach the prision cell of the Terrans. They all look so, pitiful. I stab the control pad with my sword causing the bars that held them to disappear. A blue skinned male walks toward us. He takes (y/n)'s hand sweetly.

"Thank you. For saving us. They were forcing us to use our powers. I mean moving metal with your mind gets tiring after all." He says smiling. That's not right, can't Terrans see the- oh no. I reach for (y/n) but the man doesn't let go. No. No. No. I hear the pounding footsteps of the soldiers behind us.

A trap.
