The Heart (Langst)

The Heart

Chapter 1

The mission was simple. Get into the Galran ship, get prisoners and information then get out of there. A quick grab and go. And that's what it had been, but things turned downhill towards the 'go' part.

Lance and Keith made there way towards the prison bay being as quiet as possible. It had seemed the ships security hadn't been informed on their arrival and they could get in without a problem. However, Lance's thoughts rushed through his head as his boots tapped against the rough surface of the hallway.

"This is too easy" Lance stated as he looked around the empty hallways with a cautious eye.

"I agree maybe we should go back. That sounds like a good idea" Hunk rushed out in the coms nervously as he sat his lion fidgeting.

Keith looked towards Lance and nodded in agreement to his statement. It was too easy. Usually each mission resulted in some combat but so far, there had been none.

"Let's just get this over with" Lance stated before reaching the end of the hallway and standing in front of the door to the prisoner bay.

"Can you open the door Pidge?" Keith asked.

"You got it!" Pidge replied in the coms. The sounding of fast paced typing was heard then a satisfied click was heard. "It's open."

Keith pushed open the now unlocked door and the two made there way inside with their weapons at the ready. Once inside they looked at eachother confused. Keith spoke into the com unit with a hint of caution. "Shiro. There's no one here."

As if on cue a yell filled the room "Keith watch out!" As Lance lifted his bayard and shot towards a Galra sentry that was going to shoot at Keith. Lance sighed before looking towards Keith and grinned. "Watch your surroundings mullet."

"Is everything okay?" Shiro's worried voice rung through their helmets.

"Ya what's wrong? Is someone hurt!?" Hunk said with fear

"Are you guys okay?" Pidge rushed out.

"Everything's fine," Keith replied and heard sighs of relief from his helmet.

Keith gave Lance a smile before motioning towards the door. "Lets meet up with the others."

Lance grinned, "You got i-" Before he could finish his sentence there was a blooming pain in his head and the world went dark.

"La-" Keith shouted before a sharp pain sprung in his neck and he was welcomed with the same darkness.

"They are taking way to long." Hunk said with worry coating his voice.

"I agree with Hunk. They should be back by now." Pidge stated in agreement.

Silence coated the room as Shiro tried their coms again and was greeted with static. "We need to go find them."

_____________

"Leave the red one" A Galran sentry stated as he motioned towards the unconscious red paladin.

The other Galra nodded before handcuffing Lance's hands together and picked up his unconscious form.

"Sir, why did he only want the blue paladin?" The Galra holding Lance questioned.

"Because, Lotor wanted to destroy Voltron from the inside out." They then pointed towards Lance, "He wanted to start with the heart."
