here I am. I am dying and there nothing I can do about it.
I'm dying
There no cure for something as simple as this and yet it plagues so many people.
You'd think they have people researching how to cure it.
I'm dying of boredom.
Lets go back to the beginning
After it became clear that my dream of driving the black lion was going to stay just that , a dream, I decided to enroll in a flight academy. I had a rich friend who said he'd pay, tuition for me, if when I become a fames pilot I would remember him and give him free rides anywhere he wants. I only agree to let him pay after he agreed to let me pay him back. HE also wrote a fake transcript to make it sound like I was his cousin instead of his best friend because they'd never accept me if they knew I grew up on the streets an orphan (more on that later).
and another problem with this set up is that the school I was enrolling in is an all boy's school( not true in the cartoon but true here) so I had to pretend to be a boy's.
That started a whole nother problem.
So I had to cut my hair real short and buy a school uniform that would hide my chest and hips.
My name is Dana but now I go by Daniel and I entered the flight school illegally. As well as all that I'm to young to be in this school( you have to be 16 to enroll and I'm only 14) and I have a few secrets that make it hard to live a normal life.
You know my life is going to interesting.
that's how I got into this deadly situation.
' when life goanna pick up some speed' I thought.
To avoid dying, I stared out the window dreaming about piloting the black. I was so engrossed into the fantasy that when the teacher asked me a question all I could do was stare at him with a blank confused look.
"which battle, cadet Daniel" he spoke again.
"uh mu," then I hear a familiar beeping sound that signaled that someone had sent me a message. I snuck a glance down and the subject line red answer to the question.
' uh who sent this to me' I saw a smile on the kid next to me and that answered my question. ' the battle at Gemini four" I answered and prayed that it was right.
" correct" chirped the computer. I let out a sigh of relief.
Then I smiled at the guy who had sent me the answer and with a twinge of guilt realized that I didn't even know his name.
then I felt, rather than saw, a presence behind me at the same time the teacher said " Commander Lance, to what do we own the honor of a visit from the youngest head flight instructor in academy history. "
"I realized it was nearly the end of the first term, and I've yet to greet our first year cadets. I wanted to get a look at the faces I'll be seeing when they get into the cockpit in there third year." he made his way to the front of the classroom.
" aahh, third year. how am I goanna wait that long," I sighed.
" so do any of you potential pilots, have any questions for me" Lance asked. When he saw that my hand was the only one up, he made a face like someone had shoved something nasty under his nose. But that just made me smile. Point to me for causing him stress "
" yes cadet"
" sir, with all due respect" I put so much sarcasm into those word that it made Lance expression change from disgust to shock. ' probably not used to people talking back to him'. " why are you here teaching instead of defending the universe, what really happened with Voltron"
" Daniel" my teacher roared " you know mention of Voltron is forbidden by sky marshal Wade. There are sever consequence for violating this order." then he turned to commander lance and said in a small voice " Commander lance, I'm so sorry for-" he trailed off and looked uncertain.
" it's all right" he spoke in a calm tone. "I'll speak of this once and only once. Yes, I used to be the pilot of the red Voltron lion, but after the incident, that's something I put in the past. Myself, along with tech-sergeants Hunk and Pidge, formally the yellow and green lion, are now loyal solders in the services of the galaxy alliance military and princess Allura, the former blue lion is ruling on her home planet of Arus "
'and this ,and that. boy, does this guy love to hear himself talk.' I thought bitterly. then a thought stuck me, sending shock waves down my back "What about the leader of Voltron. The black lion pilot, commander Keith" I broke in. I felt hope rise in my chest. 'Maybe I could meet him and he could tell me what it's like to pilot a lion.' ( that's the closest thing I can get to actually piloting them) I thought a smile breaking though to my face.
Lance's tone wiped that smile off my face real quick " Ex- commander Keith is a wanted fugitive and nobody knows his whereabouts"
" H-how could you and the rest of the team just turn your back on commander Keith and Voltron" I demanded. tears almost started pouring from my eyes as I think about how the people I looked up to would betray their own friend. ' no, don't show weakness in fount of thi- this ' I couldn't find the right word to describe what he was.
" Defending the universe is out top priority and that exactly what the galaxy alliance is doing. Voltron was just a vehicle"
" just a vehicle" I exploded. " are you craz-" but he stopped me.
"That's enough, you, up. your coming with me, you too" he guested to the guy who gave me the answer to the question, not a few minutes ago.
" me" he sputtered "what did I do"
" guilt by association" Lance simply
" but he has nothing to do with this, so leave him out of this" I demanded.
" no" he stated causing me to grind my teeth together and glare at him.
five minutes later. In wade's office
We walked in on some sort meeting with some really boring, old people. I didn't catch any of what they were talking about and I didn't care. All I cared about was that my childhood idol was a not who I thought he was.
Wade started the conversation off with a sneer and a harsh tone " Commander Lance these must be the cadets you called me about"
" Yes, sir" he glared down at us and I instinctively move myself so I'm a little in front of my new friend who's name I still don't know. Note to self: find out his name.
" Normally, I don't like to concern myself with petty academy matters, but I take my " no Voltron" policy very seriously" said the sky marshal in a menacing tone.
" sir," I began the second he shut up " I take full responsibility. He doesn't belong here, (gesturing to the guy who gave me the answer) I hardly know him, and he-
" Do not speak cadet" roared Wade. " and don't play that sickening nobility card either. It's a liability in combat. I need an army of obedient, ruthless fighting machines. Not some saps who are going to hesitate to consult their moral compass. Of course that won't be a problem for you, if you violate my policy again because a second offense would mean expulsion " I cringed at the thought of going up to my friend and his family and telling them, that after all his hard work and all his risks, I got expelled.
"However, this being your first, you are receiving the automatic sentence latrine duty( scrubbing toilets) for the rest of the first term and all of the second as well"
"I'm sure this experience will give them an entirely different perspective on Voltron sir.
' it already has' I thought sadly.
Keith was smirking as he led us out of Wade's office and into the hall.
" well, I hope you two learned your lesson" he said
I would have snapped something back but a wave of dizziness over took me and I couldn't speak. He's was saying something else but I couldn't hear him very well through the ringing in my ears.
" Daniel, Yo dude are you okay" it sounded like I was under water, all distorted like but I could tell that was the dude who's name I still didn't know.
Then I felt my knee buckle as darkness over came me and my last thought was 'not again'
I was on a beach. I was not alone. there was a lot of other people there, at least 8 -9 different family's but my eye's were draw to the guy with long hair and yellow sunglass who was sitting next to a chubby red alien with a gold chain around his neck and 4 arms. I felt a thrill so excitement when I recognized who the black haired guy was : Commander Keith leader of the Voltron force.
" So Commander Keith, I hear you are interested in the location of Wade secret base" Keith held out his hand and passed the chubby alien a sizable amount of money. Then said quietly " your hearing is good"
"Why are you seeking this base? are you looking for trouble".
"I'm looking for something that wade has that doesn't belong to him, which may lead to trouble, but that doesn't concern you. I paid you good money for that location so-"
But something about the red alien was off and my instincts told me that Keith had to run before it was to late. But this was a vision, a dream and I couldn't interfere. Like all the other times I had what I call a blackout.
The alien put the money back in Keith's hand and them puts both his hands on top of one another "yes, well, unfortunately, some people are willing to pay more for your location." he chuckled "please do not make a big scene " as at least 5 army guy surrounded Keith. I wanted to rush over and help but a) I'm not really there and b) the edges of my visions were already starting to fading. I could barely hear Keith's response of "the size of the scene is up to you"
' no, I can't go now. I need to know what happens next' but I might as well have stayed silent for all the good it did me. It faded out until all that was left was Keith's face set in defiance, not planning to go down without a fight. That caused me to smile. 'At least one of my hero's is like I thought they'd be'. Then his face faded too and the darkness swallowed me up.
When I opened my eyes, it was so dark that I that I couldn't see at first. When I could, I realized I'm in the hospital wing. When I tried to get up something held my arm down and with a jolt I noticed that there was 3 needles sticking out of my arms. Suddenly I felt caged in, like the walls were closing in on me. With shaking finger I undid the straps on my arm and took the needles out one by one.
I placed both feet on the ground and the second I was sure they could hold me I was off. I opened the door and took off down the hallways going anywhere my feet take me so long as it was away from the needles and the strong clean smell of the hospital.
So but it gonna take me awhile to post the other chapters but I try the fast I can to do it ok.
