*gulp* I am so sorry, everyone!
The past several years have just gotten away from me and, to be perfectly honest, I kinda forgot about this story. I got a review recently, though, and it reminded me that I left it at a bit of a cliffhanger - which I hate when I'm reading a story, so I thought I'd get my rear in gear and finish it off.
I've also taken the time to update & edit the chapters. For the sake of previous readers, I haven't combined chapters one and two, but I think the whole thing will only be four chapters.
So, without further ado, here is the revamped chapter one of About Time (New title - yay!).
For my previous readers, I hope you will still find this enjoyable. For my new readers, welcome & please R&R!

BOOM!
The massive missile landed in the center of the group of lions, forcing them apart.
"Split up!" ordered Keith from the Black Lion. "Princess, with me; the rest of you, stay together! No one goes off alone!"
Lance, Hunk, and Pidge disappeared into the dust cloud in their respective lions while Allura followed Keith in her Blue Lion.
As soon as his orders were finished, Keith took off, trying to race away from their current bombardment. The missiles, rockets, and lasers didn't seem to let up as they dashed toward the nearby mountains. Once there, they would have a better vantage point from which to find the source of the attacks.
The attacks seemed to be coming from all around them, which made no sense. They had come to this planet on a mission of peace, hoping to find an ally in the fight against the Drule Empire. However, the five lions had no sooner entered the planet's atmosphere before they were besieged.
Allura looked up and saw first the Black Lion in front of her, then how close they were to the mountains. Just a few more lion lengths, and they'd be there!
"Keith," she called, a small smile appearing on her face. "We're nearly there!"
Black Lion turned his head around to look back at the Blue Lion; inside, Keith's face went from cautious hope to pure fear. He cried out, trying to gain the other Lion's pilot's attention in time.
"Allura! Watch out!"
Allura had no time to reply before the Blue Lion was hit in the back by a missile. The force of the hit slammed Blue Lion into Black Lion and sent them both crashing to the ground.
The ground where the Lions landed had been weakened by earlier attacks. It collapsed under the combined weight of the Lions, plunging them into the depths of the underground caverns below.

Short, I know, but I figured it would work better if I left the chapter contents alone, aside from a few minor edits.
I hope you enjoyed and please review!
