Lance's Pov ^-

I brushed my hand through the strands of my hair. Smooth from the condition I had scavenged. Looking around at my teammates, Hunk shook his head with a smile.
"You use so much conditioner, I swear." He teased. I rolled my eyes.

I turned away, watching as Shiro approached the small girl who tapped away on her laptop. Keith behind her. 

A tall woman-creature strolled into the room, Allura and Coran by her side. The woman had large pointy ears that came out of her head on a side angle. Soft brown freckles dotted around her face and shoulders. She wore a short silver dress, tights covering her legs. A bundle of coloured helmet like objects she cradled in her long arms.

"Paladins gather." Allura announced, the woman nodding at her. 
"My name is Florentina, queen of Secandra." Florentina bowed her head towards the paladins. "Thank you for arriving here. These creatures, which we call the Decandra who only understands violence, have been attacking our village for years."
"Yes, and we've discussed a plan." Coran spoke, twiddling with his mustache.
"Indeed we have." Florentina placed down the objects she cradled onto the floor. "Though, you'd have to wear these helmets." She handed the helmets by colour.
Pidge turned her helmet around, observing it. She placed the helmet onto her head, it seemed to large to fit her small head.
"Why?" Hunk asked, plopping the helmet onto his head. 
"Well, the Decandra can send out waves that interfere with mess with our brain cells. By you lot just sitting here, I can tell it's impacting you barely." Keith rubbed his head. "So we designed these helmets for you."

I groaned, sliding the helmet onto my head. 
"Do we have to? It doesn't suit me." I glanced into the window. The helmet  larger than the one I usually had.
"If you want to live. Yes, you do." Keith glared at me, his eyes narrowed.
"Gees, keep your pants on." I lifted my arms in surrender. A grin of amusement crossing my face.
"Enough." Allura snapped, her arms on her hips. "You paladins will go down and defend this side of the village. Once it's clear you will enter your lions and end the battle. Just be careful not to murder Florentina's people."

Pidge's Pov ^- 

Minute's into the battle ']

I fired my grappling hook towards a soldier. Having to hold down my helmet with my spare hand. It's pale white face cover in many tentacle like mouths. It's hands large and slimey. Eyes glowing red. Letting out muffled cries. I fired at the nearest soldier, smacking it's blade out of it's hand.
Without warning, I felt the butt of a blade hit my helmet. I gasped as my helmet slid off my head. Tripping over my footing I fell to the floor. Reaching my hand to grasp the helmet, a foot appeared in my vision. The white foot pushing the helmet away. Looking up at the creature, it's let out a growl like sound as it lifted it's hand. Teal mist formed from his hand. Aimed straight towards me. 

I felt the green mist surround me. My eyes widen as the pain felt like knife. Knifes with poisonous liquid that burns the skin. My bayard slipped from my hands, sweat streaming down my face. Scrunching up my eyes as tears started to form. I wanted to scream, but my voice seemed to malfunction. 
A blue figured appeared in the background of the battle, the figure holding a gun. Shooting at soldiers nearby.
"Lance!" I cried his name, before the world collapsed. The pain disappearing.
