Until I See You Again: War Of The White Lion

It Never Left Us

Shiro's POV

(Three hours ago)

Over the signal is a scream.

It's from Adam!

My eyes instantly fill with tears.

I turn my lion to the Atlas.

The shockwave backfired on him.

I watch as the Atlas falls apart piece by peace.

"TAKASHI!"

"ADAM! ITS OKAY! IM COMING TO GET YOU!"

I dart to the Atlas as parts begin to burst into flame and explode.

"SHIRO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"I HAVE TO GET ADAM!"

As I get closer and closer to the Atlas, the more damage I can see has been done.

One of the thrusters explodes, sending out a flare of light and flames.
Without that thruster, the Atlas won't fly.

The Atlas begins to fall with increasing speed.

"TAKASHI I NEED YOU!"

"IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!"

Keith: "SHIRO, YOU CAN'T JUST ABANDON THE MISSION!"

Shiro: "WELL I CAN'T LEAVE HIM THERE ALONE! I LEFT HIM ONCE AND IM NOT LEAVING HIM AGAIN!"

I force the lion into a nose dive after the Atlas. Pieces of debris break off of the ship and make it harder for me to get even close.

I push the throttles more and more and more until they won't go any farther.

I'm closing in on the Atlas as everyone shouts at me not to.

Hunk: "Shiro I'm sorry but Adam is probably dead by now."

"NO HE'S NOT!"

The signal to the Atlas fails and my nerves skyrocket.

The debris falling around me as I chase the Atlas is closing in on me.

Lance: "SHIRO YOU CANT DO THIS! THE LION WILL BE DAMAGED AGAIN!"

I shut the signals off and try to reconnect with the Atlas.

We get closer and closer to the ground.

Debris hits the sides of my lion but I pay no attention. There is scrapping against the side of the lion and I cringe at the sound.

I can't think about that, I need to get to Adam! If I loose him, I will never be able to forgive myself.

If I loose him I loose everything.

I get closer to the Atlas.

Using the claws of the lion, I rip away the front of the Atlas and force the lion to climb inside.

Everything inside is completely ruined.

There is shattered glass, plaster, steel and cross beams strewn about and set aflame. The ceiling has fallen in as well.

I turn on the heat vision to see if I can find him.

I don't know how much time I have left until we go up in flames.

And the I see him on the radar. His body temperature is dropping quickly.

I dash out of the lion and throw myself in the Atlas in the direction of the main control board where Adam should be.
