Until I See You Again: War Of The White Lion

Change in Morality

Shiro's POV

The light all around the room, the waves crashing in my ears, the ground shaking, the hurricane, the energy, it's almost too much!

But this is a joke.

This has got to be the biggest joke ever.

But it's happening right before my eyes.

The light consolidating into the figure of a man and glowing, illuminating Adam's soft skin and his piercing eyes.

A glowing aura of hope in the darkest of times.

This is real.

Adam's eyes glowing multicolored is real. Holding Sandek back with nothing to aid him but his own strength and will to fight back.

And the two legs he stands on planted to the ground firmly, not showing any signs of falling apart.

Its real!

He pushes against Sandek, light particles moving around him as if he were the sun and every small particle unit was a star or planet. Drawn into something greater than themselves.

Drawing into him as he winds his arm back for the first blow, pivoting on his back foot for the most momentum buildup.

Sandek isn't fast enough to block Adam as he absorbs the jab and cross to his shoulder and jaw and is thrown back with incredible force that no human being would ever produce.

But if Adam is suddenly glowing like this how human can he be?

Is he Altean or has my mind finally broken?

Is this a hallucination?

I look around to everyone staring at Adam.

"Keith, am I going crazy or am I going crazy?"

Before Keith can answer Adam whips around.

"Neither! NOW DON'T JUST SIT THERE! GET BACK IN FORMATION AND RUN!" Adam shouts at us, grabbing my arm.

In an instant, I stand up but I don't know how. Everyone just jumps up and runs for their lives again.

"Everyone, back into formation just like before. Coran, Takashi, take the middle. Krolia, Romelle, and Nachia take the back. Hunk and Katie, take the sides and Keith and Lance, you take either side of me. We have some lions to take back!"

Is this the same old Adam I know and love? Why has he changed so suddenly.

He is taking a forward role. I let him because I don't know what's real anymore.

We return back to formation. Krolia reloads her pistol, Romelle whips out her spear again, Nachia reloads her gun, Keith whips out his sword, Lance, his energy gun, Hunk, his cannon, Pidge, her grappling hook thing, and Adam forms something resembling a particle barrier.

This is madness. This can't be real.

But Adam is running well ahead of us, his shield pushing guards away or scaring them.

After pushing the worst of three waves back does Adam fall back to the unit.

"Guys, we need to get to the Airship harbor. Follow my lead!"

"How do you know the way?" Krolia asks, " Shiro, should we trust him?"

I throw my hands up.

"I don't fucking know what's real anymore so fuck it!"

"Cool it, We're almost there. It's through the gates ahead."

"Those gates are impermeable! We would need Keith to help us open them with his hand print or we could be trapped in!"
