I groan and quickly sit up from where I fell from the floor. I look around to see where Lance is. He is currently wide eyes and crouched in his spot.

"What do you want," I ask harshly while looking behind me.

"So can you hear people when your Yorak," Lance asks

"I didn't  take control to listen to questions" I answered annoyed

"Sorry and you aren't leaving because I don't want you in the escape pods," Lance responds

"What? Is this some stupid way to keep me on this damn ship." I ask while getting up and dusting my self off and noting the pairs of footsteps.

"Actually....uh it was okay, I didn't think it out," he says while rubbing the back of his head.

I sigh before talking " Lance why the hell would I stay, this ship is filled with hatred and homophobia and frankly, it looks like I'm getting all the heat!" I say getting madder every second I speak. " Just because I turned out how I am not doesn't mean everyone can place the blame on me! And what the fuck is up with you the number of mood swings you have is insane! like one moment your in my bathroom or in my fucking mindscape then your picking on me and being homophobic like can you make up your own mind!" I finish and let out a heavy breath and feel warm tears flood from my eyes. I can feel eyes burning through me and emotions rage out of me like a bursting dam. I couldn't stay balanced anymore and felt myself sink to my knees continue to soak my clothes. everything was quiet even Yorak. As I sniffled I watched my vision fade to black.

Yorak's pov

Once I got control I stood and looked around keeping my eyes on the floor while a weeping Keith filling my thoughts, my body was trembling due to Keiths new burst of emotion. I felt disappointed, it was lingering in the air. I could feel the continuing wetness on my cheeks. I slowly bring my hand to my cheek and feel the flow of tears. my head jerked to the soft sob that came from the smallest paladin. we stayed in silence until I heard one word.

I felt watched witch meant they somehow heard it. I started to look around and spotted what I needed. I still heard sniffles from Keiths but I can tell he's ready for anything. I look at everyone with slight sorrow in my eyes but it got replaced with a stone-cold face. I soon cracked my knuckles and sprinted in a wolf-like position going far away from the escape pods. Keith had made this route for fun but now it seems absurd but it will work. I got halfway through the ship when it went into manual lockdown. Just in time, I thought along with Keith. Lotor has seen us do this route once but it's still a problem. as I'm running I see the wall approach so I prepare to take it down. I feel vile boil in my throat and launch just in time its a helpful quirk but it leaves a lot of pain after. I was almost to the second checkpoint and could hear paced footsteps. I reach the checkpoint and see Lotor. this was the only spacious checkpoint which meant a lot of climbing. he was at the first jump but I turn so I'm 5 feet off of the target. I count the meters till the first jump.

I pounce of the surprized Lotor and barley make it two the second jump. I hear something click but I can't look. I make it to the vent and do a quick glance to see what it is.

Keith's pov

I stared at the evil grin that Lotor had on his face. he was aimed right at Yorak's head and had no intent on him and me living. I cussed while Yorak was frozen in place. I was then shocked by sudden wave of heat by my side. only then do I smell the surprising comfort of rain. "If he shoots I'm dead," I say softly but loud enough so Lance will hear. then an overwhelming lemonade smell covers up the rain. "Where is this?" Lance asks "Sector 27" I respond with a whisper.

"Pidge tell the team I'll figure out the fastest way there," Lance says in a mildly confident tone I glance back to see a scared and curios pidge but they then disappear. "Lance you should know that it's too late," I say looking straight forward.

"Is there a way you can transport me there?" he asks 

"That's illogical and if I could at the hight you'd get injured," I say and let out a slight chuckle only to wince

"I'm gonna guess you haven't tried it?" Lance asks in confidence

"No I haven't but if you think that id work then I could always try," I say curios in again a soft voice

"Let's do it then," he says I sigh and warn Yorak before continuing, I've done inanimate objects but never people." You have to believe your here alright? Once you've done that you'll smell the scent of rain," I say and after a few seconds he gasps " You didn't mention the cinnamon" he says surprised "Hmm I guess that's my sent then" I mumble "What scent?" Lance asks tilting his head. "I'll tell you later but for now lets got you there and be prepared," I say and he nods i put my hands on his cheeks and close my eyes " Yorak in coming in 3..2..1" the next second moved in slow motion and i could no longer feel Lance I open my eyes to see a transparent version of a flustered him. I then look to the big wall and watch as Lance gives and order. Yorak then sends him flying as he launches off the wall. Then a loud bang is heard.
