I tiptoed down the hall towards the training room.

I walked in and started training on level 6.

Breathe hard taking down each robot one by one.

I fall to the ground a bot over powering me.

Keith runs to my side taking down the bot for me and rushing to my aid.

"I had that" I scoffed.

"What are you doing up, Lance?"

"I should ask you the same mullet."

We sat in silence for a bit before I said I should go to my room and sleep. I suggested he did the same.

I walked away.

I took off my armor and examined the wounds I have.

They are not to bad but just enough to hurt like hell.

I walk in to and start the shower. My thoughts engulfing me just the same as the water.

I'm practically on autopilot while putting shampoo in my hands. I wash my hair and my body being careful around my wounds.

I step out of the shower and shiver. It's cold in my bathroom. I put on a towel look in the mirror.

Why are such an idiot lance?

Why can't you be normal lance?

Why can do you anything right lance?

I grip the sides of my head and scrunched up my face.

I KNOW. I KNOW THATS MY NAME. YOU DONT HAVE TO REMIND ME.

I set my hands on both sides of the sink. I look up staring what is left of me.

These skin and bones are rental. They get returned when we die.

Rage bubbled inside of me, about to erupt.

Why did I have to come here. My arrogance led me here. Lance that said jokes the one who loved his friends and family.

That's not me. I cant love anything or one. It will make my goodbye much harder.

I walked into my room and got some clothes on.

I walk around the castle trying to find one thing that remind me of home.

Then I walked into an unfamiliar room.

It was pitch black. The door shut behind me.

"Hello? Guys? Let me out! This isnt funny!!! Help!" I sank down to the floor.

Useless who would want to help me anyway?

Out of no where I heard a disembodied voice speak.

"Lancelot Mclain. Age: 17" it spoke in a monotone voice. I slowly got up and looked around. It seems to becoming from nowhere and everywhere.

"Starting simulation." It stated.

"Wait? WHAT?!?!? GUYS HELP!!!!"

Then Keith appeared.

"Oh thank God Keith I'm so glad you are here!" His face turned to an evil grin. The other paladins sprouted up from the ground.

They all had sinister looks on their faces. Keith walked forward.

"Hey Lance~."

This was not Keith. It was some messed up version.

I need to get out of here.

I looked around for an exit. I backed away from them.

"What's wrong? Why you leaving so soon?~"

He ran up and grabbed me. They all held me down. Keith took out his knife. They took off me shirt. Keith looked me over.

"Oh too bad. It seems you already have scars. Well, I'll just have to add to them."

He laughed a lowered the blade. He slowly began to cut me. I screamed for help but no body could hear.

Each time he cut deeper. Then he started saying things.

"Why cant you be normal, Lance~?"

"Why are you such an idiot, Lance~?"

"Why cant you do anything right, Lance~?"

I screamed letting my rage out.

"I GET IT IM LANCE. IM LANCE. IM LANCE. I CANT CHANGE IT IM SORRY."  Tears are blurring my eyes.

They finally backed off. Shiro even helped me up. The cuts Keith gave me went away.

"That's it," Keith spoke ", you have to say that to them. You cant let them spit out your name like its poison. You have to let them know. Dont let them walk all over you all the time."  They all disappeared. An exit lighted up. I ran out quickly.

I looked at the clock 6:00 dinner should just be starting.
