(12) Healing Pod

Lance's P.O.V:

   We went through level 1-21 with ease though I was having trouble breathing because of how exhausting this session was. Our formation was a mess and we were all separated and left on our own to defend ourselves. I wish I could quit and end the session but if I said the command it would end for all of us.

   Me and Lotor somehow ended back up in the middle and covered each other's backs so we could focus on the robots in front of ourselves. "Keith you doing okay over there?" Lotor yelled over the loud sounds of my blaster and the clanking of his sword on the metal robots. When he didn't answer, I looked over to where Keith was, he was dodging continuously but it looked like he was running out of steam and with that many of them on him, Keith didn't have time to actually get rid of the bots with his dagger if he had to dodge that often.  I turned my attention to the two bots that just manifested in front of me.

  "AAaargh!" Was all I heard across the room, It was such a terrible scream! It sounded like a dying animal. And it was towards the direction I last saw Keith. We were on lvl 27. And now I was not only exhausted but worried for Keith's safety. Me and Lotor were on the same page and both yelled "COMPUTER END TEAM TRAINING SIMULATION!"

After the command was given a robot that was previously holding Keith upside-down by his messed up looking leg disintegrated and left Keith to fall to the ground. "KEITH!?" Lotor yelled as he sprinted to Keith, throwing his Altean Longsword aside. Lotor already was checking Keith over to see what happened to him. I ran my way across the room too, still trying to just b r e a t h e. As we hadn't had a break since we started the team training session. We should've ended it sooner, so much sooner.

"Keith that doesn't look good what so ever." Lotor said firmly. "Im fine.." Keith whispered through the obvious pain he was in. His leg looked broken, the robot that had him upside-down probably crushed his leg. Not to mention he had a gash in the arm he was holding onto in pain.

"You are not fine!" Lotor yelled, clearly upset with the situation. "This is all your fault!" Lotor growled at me as he got up from his kneeling position beside Keith. I stared at the floor, Keith's blood was splattered about, most likely from the gash in his arm... And it was quite a bit of blood. All I could say was "I know.."

Lotor looked furious like he was about to end my life then and there, and then I was shoved to the ground  so quick and with so much force I could probably count it as whiplash. "I know you're angry but this isn't gonna solve the problem at hand, Keith is hurt, badly." I said getting back up only to be shoved to the ground again. "Im aware! And its all your fault you shit for brains Prince!" Lotor yelled, and growled at me. I know what Lotor could and would do if Keith wasn't in the room. I stayed down on the ground and looked to Keith who looked god awful. His leg should n o t bend that way. Not to mention the amount of blood pooling.

Keith needed to be put in a healing pod and quickly. If I get beat by Lotor in the process then so be it, but I will get Keith to the medical wing to be healed before we're too late. I got up and before Lotor could shove me back down I kicked him in the groin and bolted past him to Keith and scooped him into my arms and as carefully as possible ran through the halls with a barely conscious Keith in my arms and a very angry Alpha behind me. "Guards Help! Prince Lotor has become hostile!" I yelled as I ran past my guards and they held him back from attacking me. "I have to bring Prince Keith to the medical wing please keep him busy!" I yelled and I got a "Yes, Sir" from them.

I kept running until we finally made it, Doctor Coran hurried over to me and asked "What the quiznack happened to Prince Keith!?" I had to catch my breath before I could tell him. "Training.. gone.. wrong. Help!.." I said, my breathing labored. Coran nodded and got a healing pod ready for Keith. Keith looked really nervous. "Kitten please don't be scared, we're getting the healing pod ready right now! It'll be okay.." I said trying to be reassuring but he was trembling in my arms. "Im scared Lance.." he mumbled. "Why?.." I asked quietly. "Im scared of healing pods.. I mean what if I get stuck in there!" He said with a shaky voice. "Awh Kitten you wont! And even if you did, I'd be here to break you out hun." I said trying to calm his nerves.

Keith winced in pain, his leg looked really bad, and the gash in his arm had bled onto my clothes from carrying him. "Prince Lance the healing pod is ready for him." Coran said leading me towards it. "Don't be scared okay kitten? Ill be right here when you wake up." I said calmly. "Don't people fall face first out of these things when their time is up?" Keith questioned nervously. "Yes but like I said I'll be right here, I'll catch you okay kitten?" I asked as I gently set him into the healing pod, I felt terrible when he winced. "You better be.." Keith said with a smile as the healing pod's glass door closed, the healing liquid started to pour in and Keith closed his eyes and waited for it to put him into a deep sleep while he healed.

. . .

Its been three days since Keith went into the healing pod. His healing process is supposed to be done sometime today. Me and Lotor are just sitting around the room with Keiths healing pod and waiting for him to wake up. After Lotor was stopped by the guards he was dragged to his room to calm down before he could even think of going to the medical wing to visit Keith. Neither of us apologized to each-other and I don't think we ever will for what happened that day. So we just ignored each other in the room, just waiting for when Keith wakes up.
