Finding Hope ~ [Voltron WA 2018]

Chapter 9: Take Me Home

With The Team:

They had a plan Keith hoped it would work, he missed the little girl who would often come in and join him in the training deck, sometimes to train or to use Keith as a test subject on a new fighter robot she was making.

He remembered back to the video message they had seen. He would swear that her scream would hunt him for years to come.

Keith was jarred from his thoughts as Shiro came over the comms

"Everyone ready?"

"Yep," said almost everyone

Shiro and Coran wherein the yellow lion, the plan was to have the yellow lion take a bite out of the ship to allow the two men entry. And while Coran and Shiro looked for the Holts, the others would provide cover.

"Here we go!" Said Hunk as he willed his lion to bite into the ship. Shiro and Coran both quickly exited the lion and started down a hallway, while the yellow lion disappeared to join the other lions

Coran pulled out a device and began to scan the ship for human life scans

"Got it! down the hallway, up the stairs, third door on the right" Coran told Shiro

"Alright let's go get them."

Pidge drifted in and out of consciousness, each time Matt would sing to her like he did when she was a young child (well younger) and each time she would smile and listen until her head would slump and she would fade into the darkness, Matt knew she was losing to much blood and it worried him.

He didn't know what else to do.

"Matt?" Pidge manage

"Yeah, Katie it's me!" He replied

"Good" she replied

"Stay awake Pidge you loosing to much blood," he told her

But she couldn't she once again let the darkness fold around her, the darkness was comforting. No pain, no war, no worries. Pidge excepted the darkness allowing herself to go deeper and deeper, Pidge was giving in to the forever darkness of death

Matt stared at his sister tears running down his face.

Suddenly an alarm went off, and the door buzzed open to reveal Shiro

"Shiro, Shiro please please help her" Matt panicked.

Shiro approached the small body as Coran got to work on freeing Matt

Shiro quickly removed the top his armor and being careful to not reveal any of his own scares he ripped pieces of his undershirt. He then tightly bandaged the left calf and the right upper arm.

He then began to work at her cuffs she whimpered in pain. Shiro wanted to be gentle but knew he had to act quickly. He heated up his metal hand and grabbed hold of the chains just above the cuffs. The chain links gave away Shiro promptly caught the child. He pulled her close cradling her in his arms. Her face and hair were sticky with blood, and he noticed how much lighter she was.

Shiro drew his attention to Matt and Coran. As soon as Matt was free, he ran to his sister's side weeping. Come on Matt we need to go!" Shiro spoke firmly by gently. Matt agreed, and they took off running.

"Hunk" Shiro spoke into the comms

"On it" He replied

There was the sound of metal breaking and giving away then the yellow lion was their deadhead. They all ran hard but were quickly blocked by soldiers

Shiro huffed. He sat Pidge down on the ground and Coran cradled her as Matt and Shiro to down the soldiers when the path was clear Coran took off running with his number 5 in his arms. He entered the yellow lion and sat her down to assess her injuries. Matt and Shiro fought off the last handful then came running in after the Altean man.

Matt began to cradle his sister head in his lap as Shiro and Coran supersede the bleeding.

"Hunk go, and fast!" Shiro yell through the comms

And like that, the four lions took off through the stars
