I'm not confident that I wrote correctly. Idk.
Anyways, this will be a series. This fic will only get two chapters while I'm in the process of making another fic.

Update: A couple of things.
Jits=seconds In Gyrgan's language.
And Vaeq=hours.

Gyrgan of the Rygnirath had observed the damage of the now ravaged town. Houses in disarray, rubble scattered on the ground. Fires were being put out due to his friend Blaytz and a few of his troops putting out the fires. The Yellow Paladin could always rely on his friend to help him. Because of the Blue Paladin, the fires were slowly dying down. It would take more than an army. Which was why the Blue Paladin had requested back up. According to him, more of his troops were in route and would take several jits to get to their location.

A hand rests gently on Gyrgan's shoulders. He looked at who the hand belonged to, "How are you holding up?" The Dalterian said with a concerned look on her face, "You hadn't said much since you arrived."

"Not much to say, I suppose." Gyrgan had spent most of his time trying to find survivors in the rubble. The bruises scattered on his face proved that. It disheartened him to find no survivors. Not a sound. How could a couple of bandits live knowing that they had killed off a bunch innocent civilians? It made no sense to him, why they had come to the planet Earth. Earth was not valuable to them. Everyone agreed. They were just not up to par. None of the resources Earth had been any good for the rest of the solar system. Several planets had decided to leave Earth be and not bother it.

"Alfor says he has a good suspicion on who might have done this." Trigel stated; looking just as sad as the Yellow Paladin was, "He had heard chatter over one of their private channels and they claimed responsibility. It was the Tagata Matautia. It was retaliation for us intervening over their battle, several movements ago." The Tagata Matautia or better known as Matuatia were a dangerous group that liked to start a war over the pettiest of things. It still didn't make sense to him. Why Earth? He guessed the Matuatia think that they get a hold of any planet; no matter how little the resources-

Suddenly a cry was heard. Which brought Gyrgan out of his thoughts. The Two Paladins looked at each other, remaining silent. Another cry, this time a little louder. Gyrgan immediately went to help. Trigel following closely behind as backup. The cry grew louder and louder as the two leaders drew close to the source, "Where are you?!" Gyrgan exclaimed. The cry was weak; which meant that he had to hurry if he wanted to save their lives. Again, silence. It unnerved him, to be so close. Yet, it was possible that the human succumbed to his injuries.

"...H-Help..."

They both heard it. It was close.

"The sound of that voice. Sounds like a voice of a child..."

"Then we must make haste!" The Rygnirathian sprung into action. Flipping every rubble nearby to see if the child was there. No such luck not yet. He kept looking until he saw a house that was partially destroyed. With his strength; he tore open the door off its hinges.

"Help..."

It was to the side of him. There was rubble on the ground that was once a ceiling; Surrounding it, was a pool of blood. Gyrgan immediately threw the rubble to the side, as if it was nothing to discover a small child barely clinging onto life. His clothes were covered in blood. He had only one chance to save him and this was going to be it.

"I found him!" Gyrgan shouted. He couldn't celebrate just yet. He had to take him back to his homeworld and have him looked at, "We need to hurry!"

Trigel ripped off her cloak, wrapping it around the child gently, "This should do ... for now." The child's eyes fell heavy; The Dalterian waved her hand in front of his face to dissuade the child from falling asleep, "Not yet, little one. You cannot sleep yet." She spoke as gently as possible.

"I'll let Blaytz know of the situation. It's imperative that the child seeks help."

Gyrgran nodded in understanding. Huddling the child close to him. He sets off towards the Yellow Lion. His eyes peel down to the injured child and see him trying to sleep.

"What is your name?" Gyrgan asked in an attempt to keep the child awake.

The boy didn't answer at first. He suspected that the child was too weak to answer. Surprisingly, he opened his mouth slowly to respond.

"... Hunk..."

"Hunk sounds like a nickname that of a name." Gyrgan chuckled. More so for the sake of the child.

"How old are you, Hunk?"

"5..." Hunk said weakly. There were almost to the ship. Hang on, little guy! Gyrgan could see the Lion at the distance. He could hear it's faint rumbling. The feeling of worry emitting off of it. Worry for both the Paladin and the child that is in Gyrgan's arms. The Yellow Paladin sensed his lion's distress, "Do not worry, Yellow. We will save the child. By Willow, I will save this child!"

"Where..." The child spoke again, "Where is my mom?"

Gyrgan fell silent upon hearing this. What should he tell Hunk? He was uncertain about the mother's fate. He was alone when he had found Hunk. He couldn't possibly go back. He'll have to let Trigel keep a look out for the mother. If she were to appear-if she was still alive. Gyrgan had to be hopeful. Sadly, the odds seemed to be against it. He was at a loss to what to tell Hunk.

"I... don't-"

His lion's eyes shone a bright yellow, his mouth opening to reveal the entrance to the lion's cockpit. The Paladin rushed inside. The lights in the cockpit immediately shone a bright yellow. A small hum could be heard as the lion turned itself on for its paladin to pilot.

Gyrgan set the child down gently, "Hang on a little longer, okay?"

"I'm tired..."

"You have to stay strong, alright?"

"Okay..."

Gyrgan sat down in his seat immediately, "Let's head out and save this child, Yellow!" The lion roared loudly. The beast took off from the ground. Even though, his lion is at full speed. It was slow. The Yellow Paladin actually felt despair. For him and his lion. They both had the urge to help a child that they barely know. It fueled Gyrgan to have faith that they will arrive safely. Altea had the best healing pods on the planet. His planet, Ryginrath, while having technologies that surpass some of the planets he had visited during his missions. They were not up to par with Altea.

That was where he was going.

"It hurts..." Hunk had started to whimper in the back. Gyrgan had the urge to get up and comfort.

"As Willow as my witness. You will live through this day!"

A rush of energy surges through Gyrgan's veins. His lion flew faster. Normally, it wouldn't be possible. Yellow was pushing himself harder than normal. It worried Gyrgan that he was overheating the lion's engines.

His lion replied back with a roar. To let his Paladin know that he was going to be okay. Even, if his engines would burn out by the time they arrived at Altea. He owed it to his lion. Big time. He would fix his lion anew when this was over.

Gyrgan brought a panel in front of him. He had to let Coran know that he was on his way. He hoped Trigel had warned Alfor already and there was a medical team being dispatched as he tried to communicate with the royal adviser. It wasn't a ring later until Coran appeared; looking rather worried,

"Gyrgan! I heard about what happened back on Earth! Is the child okay? Everything is clear and you can land in front of the castle. We're ready when you are."

"Thanks, Coran." He wasn't relieved, yet. Grygan appreciated the effort that was being put for the child. Truly grateful, "I am forever indebted to King Alfor."

"We are happy to help. Alfor is on his way back."

Gyrgan turns his gaze towards the back, "Are you alright back there?"

Silence befell the cockpit for a moment before the child weakly replied back, "It hurts bad..."

"I only heard vaguely about what happened. However, I didn't hear how the child was injured."

Altea came into view. Gyrgan sets his coordinates to Alfor's castle, "I'm not sure about how he was injured. Mostly from the invaders. It is unforgivable that they hurt an innocent human! A child who could do no harm." His hands were shaking against the controls. It took a lot of him to remain calm. He would normally wouldn't even think to get this angry.

He applied full thrusters. Time was against him.

His lion landed not so gracefully on the landing pads in front of the castle. A team of medics were at a distance; prepared to care for the human child. Some of them nervously, as they never took care of a human before. They had not heard of a human, until this afternoon; when Alfor had given the order. One little error and it could potentially end the child's life.

Coran approached the lion. Steam coming off the vents. His nose wrinkled up at the smell of smoke. The mouth opened to reveal Gyrgan holding the child. Oh my. He was small, like Allura! The medics rushed towards the Paladin and the boy. Taking him from Grygan's arms and rushing towards the castle's infirmary.

"How are you holding up?" Coran inquired. The Yellow Paladin looked ahead where the medics were. Obviously worried about Hunk.

"What?"

"Are you okay?" Coran repeated. Standing next to Gyrgan. Watching his reaction to this whole affair.

"Will he be alright?"

Coran smiled at the yellow Paladin, "I'm sure he will pull through." He wasn't sure if the boy would make it. His injuries looked serious enough. He probably won't make it to the Pod.

"Do you know who that child is?"

"No." Gyrgan slumped his shoulders, "It matters not. I just want him to be okay."

"Come on." Coran urged. Gesturing his head towards the castle, "Alfor has returned. Along with Zarkon. They have news."

"And the rest?"

"They're on their way back."

"They have been taken care of." The Black Paladin said rather bluntly. The Paladins were all in a briefing room. Food had been served. But Gyrgan had not touched it. Still anxious over the injured child that was in the med bay. He had not heard of anything in over a Vaeq. He wished, they told him if the boy lived or not.

"They threatened to start a war for interfering with their affairs." Alfor took a bite of his food, "They needed to be reminded of what might happen to them; if they continued on with their plans."

"Not to mention. They were on their way to the next town over, ready to kill once again." Blaytz cast a worried look over to his friend; who was normally talkative was not as much today. Had not said a word.

"According to the conversations picked up by the Matuatia. It was not just that town. It was almost worldwide." Trigel explained, rubbing her hand against her forehead due to stress of today's mission, "If you guys hadn't stopped him. I'm not sure if the Earth would have survived this."

Zarkon. Their leader, let out a long drastic sigh, "Alfor almost had us killed. Almost going into battle without me!"

The Altean gave his leader a sheepish smile, "Our lions could handle it-"

A fist slammed onto the table, "Against an entire fleet?! On your own?! I had to bring my army!"

"As did I. They were on standby-!"

"I told him!" Coran, who had been standing beside Alfor, chirped in, "I told him not to go without you! Your majesty, he could be really reckless!"

"You're not helping, Coran!"

Trigel sighed and was tempted to leave the two Paladins. Gyrgan had not been paying attention. His eyes trained on the large double door, waiting for the news.

"Friend."

Blaytz took a seat next to Gyrgan. Smiling for his friend's sake, "You're really are something, huh?"

Gyrgan snapped out of his thoughts to glance at the Blue Paladin. Slowly, a smile spreads across his lips, "What do you mean?"

"You're a goddamn hero, Gyrgan."

"Blaytz-"

"You did everything to save that child! I'm proud of you, Buddy!"

"I'll be more relieved when it's determined that he's okay." Gyrgan appreciated the sentiment. Blaytz always knew what to say to cheer him up. Right now, he was just too anxious to realize it.

"Speaking of that." Zarkon cleared his throat to speak once more, "Was it wise to bring him here?"

Knowing that Zarkon was addressing him. He turns his attention towards his leader, "The child was injured-"

"You could have left him with his people."

"There were no people left." Trigel interjected before the Yellow Paladin had a chance to intervene, "Leaving him alone was not wise either."

"You know how Gyrgan is! He can't just leave people behind! Not even a child!" Blaytz once again to jumped to his friend's defense, "You should be more sympathetic."

"I think bringing a human here wasn't such a good idea. What might happen if we tell him where he was? Or that his family no longer around?

The air surrounding them grew tense. The Yellow Paladin knew that his leader was right. However, if the child asked. He would be the one tell him. It was his responsibility to do so.

"Worry not, Zarkon." Gyrgan spoke up finally,"I will tell him. I was the one who retrieved him, after all. It would be my responsibility. I could not possibly place this burden on any of you."

"And then what? Will you return him to Earth? The Black Paladin grunted. His eyes never leaving Gyrgan's. The Yellow Paladin could not figure out why this bothered his leader.

"Zarkon, enough. Now, it was Alfor's turn to say something, "We will deal with this at a later time."

There was a sudden knock on the door. Which made Gyrgan jump up. Coran, thanking the ancients for this distraction. Rushed towards the double doors to speak to someone outside. He closed it, turned around and gave a thumbs up to Gyrgan.

"He made it!"
