chapter 3

Shiro, Keith, and Lance ran quietly down the hallway and turned a corner, skidding to a stop as a drone turned to them. Shiro readied his prosthetic Galra arm, Lance's bayard formed to his gun, and Keith's bayard formed to his sword, all of them ready to fight.

"We've been spotted, let's take out this thing before the Galra become aware of our presence!" Shiro said urgently, starting to move at the drone.

"Wait don't attack, that one's mine!" Pidge called out desperately, sighing in relief as Shiro stopped. "I reprogrammed it so that it can help you break into the prison."

"Oh, nice one." Shiro smiled, reaching the prison as the drone began scanning cells and opening them, releasing aliens.

Shiro assisted in opening the prison cells while Keith led aliens to escape pods, and Lance 'calmed', more like flirted, with the prisoners. Specifically the girls.

They regrouped after freeing everyone they could find, all of the guards knocked out and locked in cells.

"Everyone okay?" Shiro said, checking on the other paladins.

Lance and Keith nodded, humming affirmatively.

"All good over here!" Hunk spoke through their helmets.

"Yep," Pidge agreed.

"Good, come on Keith, Lance. Let's check out that third floor."

They reached the third floor and began walking, hearing faint screaming.

"What the hell is that?!" Keith exclaimed, starting to run in the direction of the noise with Shiro and Lance, dodging or knocking out guards.

They arrived in the prisoner waiting room for the coliseum and Shiro froze, his eyes widened in shock and fear as he breathed heavily.

"Shiro? Shiro?!" Lance waved his hand in front of Shiro's face, trying to get his attention as Keith fought the guards. "Shiro!" He began helping Keith fight the guards, protecting Shiro. They knocked out the guards, trying to get Shiro's attention. "Shiro?!" Keith and Lance called, shaking him slightly.

An alien prisoner walked up to the trio, looking at Shiro with awe.

"The champion... he's back..." They muttered, "Has he come for the new champion?"

"The champion? You mean Shiro?" Lance looked at them confused.

"Yes, he must be remembering..."

"What?" Lance turned back to Shiro, "SHIRO!"

Shiro's P.O.V

I could remember it all...

So much blood...

The fighting, the screaming...

"Champion! Champion!"

Matt...

Where is he...?

My arm being cut off while I was conscious...

No, stop...

STOP!

"SHIRO!" Everyone yelling my name through my helmet snapped me out of my daze and I shook my head.

"Sorry, what is it?" I responded, blinking. I heard them all sigh in relief.

"You haven't been doing anything! We've been calling your name but you wouldn't respond!" Lance said, shaking my shoulders slightly.

"Sorry, let's just, focus on the mission." I smiled reassuringly.

I have to stay strong for my team.

Third Person P.O.V

Keith looked at Shiro with concern and sighed.

"Now you get to know what it feels like, bitch!" They all heard someone scream, and ran to the entryway into the coliseum ring, looking at the scene before them in shock.

"Who is that?!" Lance exclaimed, hefting his blaster gun slightly.

"We have to help them!" Shiro decided firmly.

"They don't seem to need help at the moment. We can't expose ourselves like that." Keith said, feeling weird to have to remind Shiro of the mission.

Shiro sighed and nodded, recollecting himself. "Right, thanks Keith."

Keith nodded, and they watched as the two fought in the coliseum, reluctantly staying put.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

Laser Blade ripped their sword blaster out of the ground as I reached them, and I managed to slice their shoulder as they hit me upwards brutally with the weapon, sending me flying upwards. I heard the crowd reach pitch fever and I flipped in the air, landing on my feet in a slight crouch. I heard and felt heavy footsteps running towards me before I could recover. I flung my prosthetic Galra arm up in defense and felt the sword-gun slam on it, metal grinding against metal. The force knocked me down to my knees and I strained under the effort, groaning. I looked up, seeing the lasers starting to charge up. My eyes widened and began to well with tears as I realized I wasn't winning this battle. It was over.

Guess this is the end... heh, the 'new champion' meets her tragic end...

I closed my eyes as tears started to slide down my face, seeing the glimpse of a laser.

A/N: I just felt like writing a super long chapter. Hehe, enjoy the cliffhanger again? Are you dead? Who knows!
