Secrets Between Blood

Chapter 6: Red (Part 2)

I'm sorry! I completely forgot to update! Don't kill me~!

Keith's POV:

"Well, that went well."

That was complete sarcasm. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, Hunk and Lance just started a battle with the galra ship. Perfect. At least Pidge got us onto the ship undetected.

"Alright, the red lion should be somewhere near the bow of the ship." Pidge informed, and I smirked.

{"Hah, they must not have been expecting resistance if they left it up there."}

{"I know, right?"} Shiro replied with the same smirk.

"Hey, I don't know korean, so shut up." Pidged barked, and I smiled at him.

"At least you could identify the language."

"Shh." We all stopped at a corner and waited for two sentries to pass by.

"I... I've been here before. This is the ship that took me on the Kerberos mission." Shiro whispered, and we looked at him in shock.

"What? Then... then they could have information on the others!" Pidge said, clearly losing focus on the mission.

"Pidge, we don't have time for-"

"No!" I sighed, he... she was so desperate, she was putting the mission in danger.

"Katie." I said softly, and her eyes went wide. "I know you need to find your parents, but-"

"I'll go with her." I turned to Shiro, not at all shocked. He nodded to me, and I just sighed in defeat.

"Fine, you two go check it out. Grab any prisoners on the way out. I'll get Red." I said, pulling my bayard out just in case.

"By yourself?" Pidge asked, and I nodded.

"Trust me, he can handle himself. Come on." Shiro said, gesturing for Pidge to follow. They immediately took off running in the opposite direction. I started up to the bow of the ship. After awhile, I kept getting turned around and lost.

"What?" I said, frustrated. I was staring at the same intersection for the third time. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. "Alright, focus. Feel her." I whispered to myself. I focused, trying to feel for the red lion. Suddenly, I felt a tug at the back of my mind, and directions flooded through. I smiled and turned around. "Gotcha." I started running, and the further I ran, the stronger the pull was. I opened a door, and I saw her. "Beautiful."

Lance's POV:

"Hunk, look out!" I yelled, immediately blasting the battlecruiser that was hurtling itself at him.

"Thanks man. That was close." he replied over the coms, and I rolled my eyes.

"Keep an eye on your six, will ya?" I said irritatedly.

"Right, right. And might I just say, you are flying way better than you ever did in the simulator." he said knowingly, and I paused.

"Well, yeah. That was a simulator. This is the real thing, and blue is helping." I said, and I had a feeling that last part didn't sound as convincing.

"Whatever. Oh, look! It's the red lion!" he said, and I froze. "Keith?" I looked where the yellow lion was looking, and I went wide eyed. Red was chasing after a red and white thing floating in space.

"Oh, Keith. You moron." I said aloud, watching the lion take him in its mouth.

"Good kitty. And Lance, I heard that." I rolled my eyes.

"Of course you did. How the hell did you end up in space without the lion!?" I yelled, clearly confuzzled.

"Shut up and duck!" he yelled back. I did, but out of instinct! Nothing else! ... Don't look at me like that.

The red lion shot passed me and I watched him hit three cruisers at once. "Uh, thanks. I guess. Where's the green lion?"

"They said they found prisoners and they're getting them out. Now focus on the fight, will ya?" he replied, and I grit my teeth.

"Keep telling me what to do and I'm going to shoot you." I mumbled passed my teeth.

"I'd like to see you try."

"Don't tempt me."

"Guys, shut up and focus!" Shiro's voice yelled over ours.

"Hey, are you out? Can we destroy that ship now?" I asked, flaming hot with anger.

"Yeah, go ahead. Pidge and I are heading to the castle." I smiled and pressed forward.

"My pleasure." Keith and I said in unison, gunning for the main cruiser.
