18. Unpleasant Events

"Y/N! Lance! Get behind me. Now!"

Quickly pushing the duo behind him, Hunk pulled out his bayard. The object looked to be slightly damaged as sparks of energy cackled from within its crevices. "C'mon, please work!"

His signature hefty weapon had appeared in his hands in a matter of seconds, slightly catching him off guard. A wave of relief had washed over him.

As he released a shaky sigh, he turned around to get a good look at his teammates before he meets his oncoming doom.

He made sure to protect his dearest friends the best he possibly could. The outcome of this situation seemed fatal but he knew he would die trying to save his friends, no, family.

(Y/N) looked up at Hunk with worry coating their face, "This doesn't look good. We need to get him out of here."

Hunk shook his head hurriedly, "I know, but we're trapped from every angle! Trying to escape would be a death wish."

"Hunk," A pained voice spoke, "B-behind you."

Casting a quick glance at the injured Lance, Hunk turned on his heel to be greeted with 'death-on-legs'.

A group of Galran soldiers had hastily made their way towards the group, ready to put their life on the line for their empire. Their armour clamoured against the ship's metallic floor, easing a sense of dread into the Paladins.

(Y/N) stood dumbfounded, gazing at Lance's gaping wound. He was sitting in a puddle of his own blood, which didn't seem to stop gushing from his hip.

His armour was unable to withstand the multiple shots that were directed at his torso when he tried covering for (Y/N). He attempted to protect them to the best of his ability when they were trying to hack into the Galran database. All because Pidge needed files on the Galra's future initiative.

"Lance, if you die, I swear to God I will kill you. Do you understand me?" (Y/N) shuffled to meet Lance's side. His legs had given away due to the amount of blood he had already lost. 

Lance attempted to chuckle, but what started off as a light-hearted laugh became a coughing-fit of blood.

(Y/N) watched Lance with an expression of concern and anger. They needed him to stay absolutely still, and yet here he was. Trying to laugh away the pain.

"Aw, babe. You know I'll never leave ya." His lips grown pale, along with his face. However, he still managed to smile and flirt even on the brink of death.

Though, (Y/N) still couldn't help but chuckle as tears weld up in their eyes. "We're," They sniffled, "We're going to get you out of here, okay?"

"I know you are." He slowly brought his hand up to meet (Y/N)'s face, his thumb wiping away the tears that fell down their cheek.

(Y/N) had put their arm under Lance's in order to stabilize him. "Okay, on three we're getting up." Lance nodded slowly, crimson slowly peaking from his mouth.

"Alright," They tightened their grasp on Lance, "One, two, and three!"

They pushed themselves up with their  free hand, making sure that Lance was still latched onto them. A pained groan had rang through (Y/N)'s ears. "I've got you. Just lean on me."

Hunk was finishing off what was left of the soldiers. It must have been the adrenaline that caused him to take them out with scary accuracy, or the fact that his best friend was dying in the hands of his significant other.

Either way, there was no longer anything ahead of them.

"You ready, Hunk?"

Hunk took a couple steps back, slightly heaving, "Yeah, let's go."

Running away on a Galra ship is hard, but running away with a person who can barely walk is harder. Though, Hunk and (Y/N) will be damned if they decided to leave Lance on his own.

Especially now.

"Alright Pidge, where do we go from here?" Hunk inquired.

Soon, meticulous typing could be heard over the Paladin's intercoms, knowing immediately Pidge was looking for a map of the Galra ship. "Give me a minute."

"I don't think we have a minute." (Y/N) blurted, "Lance isn't doing so well. Hell, he's barely walking."

(Y/N) held Lance up with tired arms. They've began to take notice of the bloodied tracks behind them. An assortment of expletives escaped from (Y/N) before carrying on.

"Alright! Make a sharp right and an escape pod should be their for-," Suddenly, Pidge's voice dropped. The silence was almost deafening.

"Pidge? What happened?"

"This pod is your only way out. You guys are trapped from every corner." Pidge ejected.

"Yeah, we know that already. So what?"

A chilling sigh echoed throughout the intercoms.

"Someone has to stay behind in order to release the pod."

A/N: so multiple chapters are in order for y'all. I apologise for not updating but now y'all get multiple chapters, yay!
