"You'll need to retrieve the Red Lion from Sendak's ship." Allura ordered.
"That's a pretty big ship. How are we gonna know where the Red Lion is?" Keith asked next to Ember. The said girl had her helmet under her arm as she stared at the map of the ship.
"It's not a matter of 'we'. It's a matter of 'you'." Pidge inputted.
"Pidge is right. Once we get you in, you'll be able to feel its presence and track it down." Hunk added.
"Yeah. You know how you felt that crazy energy while we were in the desert?" Lance asked.
"Yeah, you made fun of me for that."
"And I'm proud of it, but turns out it's exactly like that mumbo-jumbo."
Ember felt a someone gazing at her and without taking her eyes off the map, she said; "Don't look at me. I have no idea what they are talking about."
"Keith, remember, the Red Lion is extremely temperamental. You'll have to earn its respect." Allura reminded him.
"All right. Here's our plan of attack." Shiro started, but was cut off as Ember waved her hand awkwardly.
"Allura, does the Galra spacecraft thingy have a medical room?"
"Uh," Allura narrowed her eyes in thought. "I know they use healing pods like we do - so they must have a medical room. Why?"
"I want to be helpful - and to be helpful I have to have some medical stuff around me. Will you allow me to go aboard the ship to sneak some medical supplies off it." At the sound of people starting to protest, she held up her hand. "Hey! I'm sure there is medical stuff in this castle, but it could be out of date or not even there. The Galra will have updated supplies that should last us longer. We don't have to use a healing pod for a tiny cut anyways. Please!"
Ember looked Allura in the eyes, determined. "Just let me go with them onto the ship."
Allura looked Ember in the eyes as well, scrutinizing her. "You'll have to bring a weapon with you." She finally spoke, making the paladins jump.
"What? Princess, she could get hurt!"
"We can't have Bee here just running around the place, that'll be crazy!"
"Hey," Ember snapped at them, making their complaints fall silent. "You each are doing something to help this plan go into action. I am practically useless without these supplies." She looked up at Princess Allura and nodded. "If I have to use a weapon, I will."
"Shiro." Allura looked over to the Black Paladin. Ember looked up to him, eyes burning brightly. The Black Paladin met her gaze head-on.
". . .Alright, Here is what we're going to do."
▬ ✦✧✦ ▬
Ember held onto Pidge's seat at the Green Paladin made her way to the underbelly of the ship. Shiro was on her left and Keith was on her right - his face showing his disagreement.
"Ember, you can't go! Do you even know how to protect yourself if you are under attack!"
"I know enough to get me through this, Keith. Calm down, I got this."The black-haired girl clenched her weapon tighter in her palm - a retractable metal staff. She didn't want to injury anyone - Galra or not - so she stuck with a plain staff. Worst comes to worst - she can just whack the shit out of these aliens.
Pidge landed the Green Lion and the four of them made their exit quick. Moving a little bit away from the lion itself, Pidge cut a big enough hole out to fit them in.
Once inside, they were careful not to touch anything.
