Langst One-Shots

Lost

-Lance's POV-

"Lance! Stop Goofing around! This is serious!" Shiro growled over the comm. "Sorry! I'm not used to piloting Red!" I yelped, slamming into a Galra Fighter plane. "I don't care, you need to get used to it!" Keith yelled. I flinched. "Right."

Even though Shiro had returned, I was still stuck with Red. She was so much faster than Blue, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't strengthen our bond. I winced as Pidge began to yell. "LANCE! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER! YOU'RE SCREWING EVERYTHING UP!" My eyes began to water, and my vision blurred slightly. "Okay." I tightened my grip on the controls. "I'm not the Blue Paladin anymore. I'm the red Paladin." I yanked forwards, and Red shot forwards. "I don't joke. I focus." I shot a laser through a group of Galra ships, and they exploded.

I heard my teammates yelling, and Red herself was growling at me.

"LANCE START FOCUSING!"

"STOP GOOFING AROUND!"

"GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!"

"STEP IT UP!"

"BEHIND YOU, ARE YOU BLIND?!"

"My Paladin, you are far too emotional. Get your emotions in check. This is war, not drama club." Red growled. I closed my eyes, blocking everything out. "Stop. I-I can't-" My voice stopped. I opened my eyes, fueled by anger. "That's more like it." Red purred. I slammed on the controls, and all hell broke lose. I maneuvered through lasers, my vision red.

They wanted me to be Keith, they were going to get Keith.

I slammed through their ranks, tearing through their ships like paper. I ignored my teammates, taking down ship after ship. "Yes, yes! Use your anger! There is no time for your petty emotions!" Red grumbled, and I narrowed my eyes. "Lance! What the quiznak are you doing?" Hunk yelped. I pulled back on the controls, and Red flew straight up. I flipped her over, shooting down all of the planes below me.

"I. Am. Red." I growled to myself. "Blue is dead."

Red purred loudly, "Yes. Blue is dead. You are Red." I twisted the controls, and sent Red spiraling downwards, a red blur of speed. "LANCE! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Pidge screamed. I tightened my grip, pulling up at the last second and activating my jaw-blade slicing through the Fighter like putty. "I am Red." My eyes flew open wide as Red synced with me, and I saw myself through her eyes. I used it to my advantage, taking out ships on all of my sides. I saw myself in Red, together we were a killing machine. Explosions rang out around us, and we were a red bullet of death. "I only sync with those who are worthy." Red's voice rang clear, "You are now Red. Blue is of the past. You are fire, you are anger." I nodded, agreeing. "I am the Red Paladin." I raged through the battle, Red and I one being, one soul. I pulled on the controls, and whirled around, shooting a laser with deadly accuracy.

"LANCE?! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Shiro's voice rang loud in my ears, but I didn't care. Red urged me to continue fighting, and I did just that. "Let it consume you," She purred, "You are one with me. Red." I let out a sob as I let Red guide me, let her into my soul. "BLUE. IS. DEAD." She roared, and my eyes glowed a bright red as she fully synced with me.

"RED!" I yelled, plunging into the heart of battle. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I gave a cry of pain as all of my memories with blue dulled to a gray. "You are red. Red. RED." I laughed as I lost all feelings of sadness and fear. "Red." I flung myself into fleets of ships, claws swinging, lasers firing, Red consuming my vision. I was a whirlwind, destroying anything in my way. "LANCE?! WHERE ARE YOU?! ALLURA IS OPENING THE WORMHOLE!" Keith yelled, I laughed, "Alright." I pulled up, and Red and I soared through space, shooting into the wormhole, skidding into our hangar in the castle. I took my helmet off.
