the ship rattled like a tin can after its thrown off its shelf; sending all its contents flying towards the cold, purple lit walls of the corridor. slowly, the winded paladin in red gets up from his worn knees, stabilizing himself with the support of the enemy's walls.
"just one more Keith," a hoarse, but feminine voice whispers through the intercom, sending a sense of accomplishment along with it. "hey, you got a group of sentries coming on your six."
quickly, Keith scans his peripheral and with the help of his jet pack, he takes his cover above the corridor, on a small overhang. using extreme caution, the red paladin leans over the ledge just enough to get a glimpse of the set of three sentries heading to his destination.
with a loud battle cry, Keith jumps from his hideout and takes his sword to the head of the third sentry, letting it collapse in a heap of titanium and wires. "one sentry down, two to go." Keith motivates himself as his salvaged adrenaline kicks into his bloodstream.
within mere ticks, the red armored teen slashed his bayard into the last chest of his robotic competitor, allowing bursts of electricity to illuminate the darkened hallways.
"great work - Keith." the black paladin, Shiro, praises in between grunts.
before he replies with a voice of glory, Keith places his right hand on the digital scanner that has kept these prisoners locked away for God knows how long, "unlocking and bringing the last prisoners to the escape pods."
the heavy cell doors give way with a slight whine of defeat, or hope - he couldn't tell which - revealing the blood-stained insides of cell #2KB. Keith shades his eyes with the crook of his arm as he lights up the cells walls with his handy-dandy wrist-light.
"i am the red paladin of voltron, i bring peace and hope," the teen slowly walks through the cell doors and shines his light on the four corners of the walls. "hello, i am here to help. is anyone in here?" with one last look around the cell, Keith breaths in and let's out a defeated sigh. "Guys, there's no-"
a quiet, war-stricken voice whispers from the confinement's of the left corner of the room, cutting off Keith's depressed words.
"please, save us."
