Hey so this is my third Fan-Fiction. It was an idea I had a little while ago. Also I have only watched Voltron Force and not the original one, so don't get mad if the character's are more like the Voltron Force and not the original.
Summary: Daniel has been the with the force for a couple months and hasn't told them a pretty big secret... He has problem's with his heart. If he fights or practices, it will make it harder for him to breathe and since being with the force, it is getting harder for Daniel to control. Well, with out him being noticed. He doesn't tell them and well see where it gets him.
Disclaimer: I do not own Voltron Force characters.
Added note: The italics are used when ever someone is talking through the voltcom's. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Secret's Out
POV Daniel
It has been a couple months since Vince and I joined the Force. It was awesome! It would be so much better if Keith would let me take Black out more, but nooo. I can't be trusted enough or I am not ready. What ever. I finally had my own room because I convinced Keith and the others that I should have one. It made it easier hiding my secret from the rest of them. You see I have this problem with my heart that when I exert too much exercise, it could make it harder for me to breath and could kill me. I have had it since I was young and up until now it has been easy to control. Ever since Lotor started more attacks and Lance has added more practices, it's harder to keep this a secret. I don't want to tell them because if I do they could be like over protective parents! I like going fast and this "little" problem isn't going to get in my way.
I was staring at the ceiling in my room when my voltcom went off, "Daniel get your butt down here now! You are late for practice." Lance yelled at me.
I didn't argue with that. I sat up in my bed and a pain hit me in my chest. I gasped at the sudden pain, but then shook it off. It was nothing; I am strong not weak. I went over to my dresser and grabbed the pills, the doctor on Earth gave me. I took two, like usual, and the pain slowly started to fade, but it was still there.
The Doctor from Earth sends them to me and it is such a pain to get the prescriptions too. I have to find away to get them sent here without the Force finding out. It hasn't failed yet, so I am counting that as a good sign, but I did notice I was getting low on them. I guess I would need to get some more soon. Weird, usually I can go about three months with out having to send for more. It has only been about two months. The prescriptions help at first and lately they have been wearing off quicker then I remember. It's probably nothing, maybe they are lasting the same amount of time, but since I have been busy all the time, I just don't notice time.
I turned on my voltcom and ran to the training room. Larmina and Vince were already sparing against each other. I ran to Lance, "Sorry, I didn't realize what time it was."
"You better be sorry. Today you are going to practice double then usual! Spar with Keith; he can give you a lesson," Lance smirked and Keith looked at me. He pointed to me and then pointed his hand to the ground. I went over to him and he got into a fighting position.
- three hours later -
Larmina and Vince had finished an hour ago and Keith now had me running on the treadmill. My heart was beating faster then usual, and it was getting harder, and harder to breathe. "No!" I thought to myself. I am strong and can get past this stupid condition. I have worked too hard to be on the force and I am not going to give up.
"Alright Cadet, that's enough," Keith said and I turned off the machine. I was feeling a little light-headed, so when I got off the treadmill I stumbled. Keith caught me and steadied me, "You alright Daniel?"
"Yeah, just haven't had this much exercise in one practice," My chest was heaving heavily up and down. "I am going to go get something to eat. I had a light lunch and I guess that was pretty stupid," I smiled and scratched my head.
"Ok, just next time eat enough before practice," Keith shook his head and waved me off. I left the room. I could feel his eyes watching me the whole time until I actually left the room.
In the halls, further away from the training room, I had to lean against the wall for support. Every breath I breathed hurt my entire body. I couldn't get a full breath out, so I tried to remember when my father would help me out when I was younger. I breathed slow, long, deep breath's and keep myself calm. He said that it wouldn't go away if I was angry and it always worked. That was a couple years ago and I still miss him today.
Slowly, my breathing started to even out. It was still a little heavy, but that was nothing. I knew it wasn't a big deal. I just didn't have enough lunch and I was now feeling the affects. I am not going to make this mistake again.
I entered the kitchen and saw Larmina, Vince, and Allura eating and chatting at the table. "Hey," I told them.
Larmina spoke up first, "How was the extra long practice today, slacker."
I rolled my eyes at her and went to the fridge. Nothing good in there, so I looked in the cabinets. I found a microwave Campbell's Tomato Soup and decide that was the best choice. I took off the cover and the second layer beneath it, put the cover back on, and put it in the microwave. I'm glad when Vince and I joined the force, the team got some real food from Earth. I mean, I don't mind Arus food, but it doesn't mean I like it.
My food finished and I took a seat next to Vince. When I started eating Allura, sitting across from me asked, "Is everything ok? You look tired and little out of it?"
I looked at her, "Yeah, but maybe I am a little tired. I haven't had a practice like that in awhile and before I didn't even have a good lunch before. I guess that was kind of stupid." I scratched my head again like I did with Keith and began to eat my soup again. It was nice and hot.
I finished my soup and then got up to put my trash away, but the movement caused another pain in my chest like from before practice. "No not here!" I thought to myself. This condition I have, kind of has a warning. If I get this feeling in my chest then that means everything else will get worse. I looked at the teammates around me and they noticed I stopped moving. "Daniel are you alright?" Allura asked.
"I'm fine, just tired," I answered, trying to hide my heavy, shaky breaths. I threw away my trash and then ran out of the room.
They were going to notice that.
