Until I See You Again: War Of The White Lion

Searching

Takashi's POV

(About 30 minutes ago)

"I thought they ran out of power!" I mumble, liquid anxiety pouring into my blood stream and spreading throughout my body and intoxicating my mind.

"I thought they did too!" Adam coughs.

"Blue is missing!?" Lance shouts. His shouting sets everyone off.

"Oh god, this is bad this is bad!" Hunk says starting to go into a downward spiral of anxiety.

Everyone starts talking all at once and the noise it getting disorientingly loud. Among the growing mess of voices, Adam's pierces through and quiets everyone in an instant.

"Guys, hold yourselves together! Now lets think. If the lions had enough power to somehow get up and walk into a circle and their eyes are glowing, then that means Blue couldn't have had enough power to go too far."

"Well what do we do about that?" Keith asks.

"Blue is gone! Where could she have gone!?" Lance panics. Keith takes Lance's hand and holds it reassuringly. I stand in front of the two of them to hide their interlocked hands from Admiral Sanda.

"Lance, Allura, Adam, you three have connections to the blue lion. Can you try to sense where she might be?" Nachia asks.

"I've tried already. I'm getting nothing." Allura reports.

"I cant pick up anything!" Lance cries.

"Uhhh, I can try but I don't think I'll get it." Adam says uninsured.

"It's so weird! I'm not getting a thing. I'm reaching out but I can't connect." Allura says struggling to concentrate.

"It's like she is asking us to find her ourselves." Lance comments.

"I don't think I'm doing this right." Adam says over straining himself.

"We need another way!"

People panic to come up with a solution. I frantically look around for something! Anything! The UE Base administrator at the desk stares at us like we are crazy! I catch her eyes and she drops her gaze to the papers in her hands and she shuffles away nervously. Wait, that's it!

"All the other lion's eyes were glowing. Maybe if we go out looking for a pair of blue glowing eyes we will track down the lion."

"It's too dark outside. Even if we-" Admiral Sanda starts.

"Found her! Over to the west. I think that is the direction of the cave where we first met her." Pidge says, her voice creeping out from the daunting haze of anxiety. She stands next to a window where in the distance near various rock formations is a small beam of light. It's faint, but it is there. We all go to the window.

"Are the lions going back to their hiding places to recharge or something?" Hunk asks.

"If that were the case, the other lions would be gone. You did see the others, right Adam?" Coran asks.

"Seated in a circle. Yes."

"Seated in a circle, eyes glowing, this is getting weird." Allura says.

"This whole story is completely full of weird!" I comment aloud. I don't even care if that made no sense. It's true.

"I have never heard of the lions seated in a circle with their eyes glowing before. Are you sure they weren't doing anything else." Coran asks. "What does it mean?"

Adam begins pacing a little and mumbling to himself.

"They are seated in a circle, their eyes are glowing, Blue is back where you guys first encountered here and I think I'm supposed to do something about this."
