Wait (Keith Kogane X OC)

Chapter 19

A/N: Hehe once again i dunno what I'm talking about. it gets good halfway through, though, so... look out for that! There's a little change in the goodbye scene with Allura because I thought it was so dumb that she didn't get to say goodbye to Coran. Enjoy!

--------

Coran zipped through the halls once again and they parted from Romelle and Tavo. It was difficult for Sarah to keep up. With the lack of gravity, they floated through the halls at great speeds. Coran used every juncture and piece of hallway that stuck out to push himself to move even faster. Sometimes it was a struggle for Sarah to even grab onto whatever he had in order to go faster as well.

The two went to the engine room. There sat Sam and Slav, each at computers, trying to keep the Atlas stable while it underwent its transformation and battle.

Sarah sat at an empty chair and watched the screens of the computers around the room. Numbers and graphs flashed and changed, and Sarah found it easier to keep up with that than what Coran discussed with the engineers. At least the computers spoke english...

"Get ready to leave," Coran instructed, twisting around to face Sarah. "We're going to go." He turned back and pressed a button to communicate with Shiro. "We need an escort to Honerva's pyramid structure!"

"What? Right now?" Shiro questioned, sounding irritated.

"Yes!" Slav answered. "The sooner we go, the higher the probability that we can use the Alteans to stop the impending space-time rupture!"

"It's actually similar to how we stopped the rupture when Voltron entered the quintessence field," Coran explained.

"Only this time," Sam added, "that superstructure will be the energy amplification conductor, and the Alteans will be the energy source."

"We're still working out how to transfer their quintessence into the structure, but, you know, sometimes things are just gonna have to be figured out on the fly!"

So they didn't really have a plan. They had a plan to create a plan, but that meant very little. Once again, Sarah was just going to have to trust that what Coran was doing was going to work. She could imagine Shiro's reaction, and the image of his dumbfounded face made her laugh.

Shiro's only response was, "Get a team in place."

"Sarah, go tell Romelle and Tavo that we're on our way," Coran said. "We'll be gathering some things here."

"Got it." Finally, something for her to do! She ran out of the room and nearly crashed into the wall on the other side of the hall, having forgotten about the lack of gravity. Once she regained her senses and got over her shock, she started pushing herself to go faster. She found the Alteans waiting at the agreed spot.

"Where's Coran?" Romelle asked immediately when she saw her friend.

Sarah grabbed onto the nearest pole to stop herself. "They're coming," she breathed. "Just a minute or so." She heard a faint growling in the back of her mind. Whatever the Paladins were doing, it probably wasn't going well.

Just as Coran had said, he came, followed by Sam and Slav, just moments later. He explained that there was a small ship and team waiting to take them to the small castle at the center of all the drama. As he finished explaining, they arrived at a hangar where a couple of people were waiting. They went inside and ran to get into a small shuttle. Accompanied by the MFE pilots, they left the Atlas and flew towards the castle.

They all watched as Voltron flew, faster and faster, towards a bright purple light above the castle. It seemed to disappear for a moment, and then there was a flash, and Honerva's robeast summoned more sharp blades before disappearing into the light.
