Return

Land

The wormhole was open. Any moment now, they would be back on Earth.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't use the wormhole. However, with one of the paladins being ill and in dire need of proper attention, Shiro and Allura agreed to use the wormhole to get back as soon as possible.

Now, Shiro and Matt, who had time to kill, decided to have a little make out session close to the control panel, in case Shiro was needed for an emergency.

Pidge lay on her back in her room with a wet towel on her face. Her eyes were halfway open in an attempt to ease the worries of the other person in her room, who happened to be the engineer of the Castle. Coran knew that the two could easily be calmed by discussing science and technology, as they often collaborated on repairing odd gadgets.

Lance, Hunk, and Keith had all gone back to sleep.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As soon as the coordinates were entered for somewhere close to where they found the Blue Lion, the castle began to malfunction. As soon as the castle had entered Earth's atmosphere, alarms went off and the falling speed increased.

"The Lions have been deployed to the supposed coordinates! Everyone make it to the control room! As soon as possible!"

Coran didn't budge. At the moment, he had to make sure that Number 5 would not be too affected by the impending destruction of the Altean castle.

As he stood to warn Allura, a ceiling panel began to dangle fairly loosely from above. As it fell, Pidge leaped from where she lay to push him and save him from being crushed from the panel. As he was pushed back, the door to her room closed. He had no choice but to run.

Shiro, Matt, Allura, Lance, Hunk, Keith, Romelle, Krolia, and Coran all emerged from the front of the fallen castle. As they all turned around, they saw as a once marvelous piece of architecture was now a pile of rubble.

"OK. Is everyone ok?" Shiro inquired.

"We should do a head count. Something tells me that we're missing someone." Krolia stated.

Allura performed the count, stalling near the end.

"We're missing someone." she said.

"Well, 2 someones if we're counting the cow." Keith stated.

Coran knew. And as soon as the missing paladin was mentioned, he darted back into the fallen castle.

The front doors of the castle were pried open. Emerging from the doors were Coran, Kaltenecker, and Pidge. Kaltenecker was to Coran's left, as he held Pidge's laptop in his hands. Pidge lay on Kaltenecker's back.

Shiro, seeing the state that the youngest Holt family member was in, adjusted her onto his back, wrapping her arms lightly around his neck and resting her feet on his hips.

The group walked on. Cow, space wolf, and human-like inhabitants in all.
