Interception (KLANCE Fanfiction) (Voltron)

I flinch as the Black Lion rumbles, multiple rays being shot at it's head all at once even though I was already down. I could feel my head throbbing as a sharp sting shoots through my head. I could feel blood trickling down the side of my face, but I couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from. I could taste a hint of metal as I shut my mouth, trying to swallow in oxygen to breath or to calm down.

"I personally...cannot wait to take you out. No one is here to save you...poor little Galra all alone with no one to remember---" Then his voice faded out.

My helmet must have given out as another shot is sent against the Black Lion. The ringing in my ears causes my head to sting more. And throughout all of this, I can't help but think. What would have happened if the team came with me? Allura, Pidge, Hunk, Shiro and the Atlas...Lance? They would all be where I am, in my death bed.

I go to shift my body in hopes of possibly being able to get Black back onto her feet. But my body continues to ache, so much that I just couldn't bring myself to sit up. How pathetic was I?

I was told I was capable of piloting the Black Lion...I was told I was fearless, strong, and in Lance's words. "The future."

Though here I was, fearing the outcome of how my life was going to end. Unable to stand, let alone sit up. Lance said I was the future? Well, my future isn't exactly looking too great at this very moment. And was what ??? said true? Was no one going to notice my disappearance...my death.

I shut my eyes accepting my fate. Allowing multiple thoughts to just ring through my head all at once. Then I thought, why not. If anyone truly can hear me right now, might as well say my last words huh?

Then, a voice scratches through the intercom. The voice is familiar, and I can already feel tears forming through my eyes. "Keith?!"

"Lance..." I choke.
