Keith lay on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on his face. The doctor a brown haired , white man stood byside him
looking hopeless. Coran ,Princess Aurora , Prince Phillip ,and Haggar stood nearby. A cylinder with a accordion like
device with moved up and down with each breath sat byside Keith's head.
"The wounds are severe and he has lost a lot of blood. He won't last much longer. "The doctor said
"If we had our ship the Spindle we could save him. "Princess Aurora groaned
"It should be in orbit by now. I will contact the Voltron Force and see it they saw it. "Coran said
Coran contacted the team using a hand radio.
"Coran to Voltron Force is that strange ship with the spinning wheel near Arus? "Coran asked
"It's sitting in orbit above you. "Lance answered
"Alright we need a shuttle to get Keith to the ship. Can we keep him stable long enough to get there? "Princess Aurora
asked
"It's a big risk. He might not hold out that long. "The doctor replied
"It's a big risk not to take it. "Prince Phillip replied
"Alright we will give him something to relax him and then take him to the ship. "The doctor answered
After Keith was relaxed by tranquilizers they took him to a triangular shuttle and flew towards the waiting ship. The doctor,
Princess Aurora ,and Prince Phillip headed into space. The grey wide triangle shaped ship with the spinning wheel appeared
in front of them. After landing on the ship they pushed Keith to one of the edges next to the outside of the spinning wheel.
Princess Aurora pushed a button and stopped the wheel with one of the long rectangle boxed rooms sitting outside. An
according like connector extended between the door and the rectangle creating a sealed walkway leading to the room. They
rolled Keith into the room and the wheel started spinning again. They rotated the stretcher 90 degrees left to line up
with the operating table. They carefully moved Keith on to the table. Then AUrora and Phillip went to different control
panels and started working them. A curved glass panel closed over Keith.
"Alright begin procedure. "Princess Aurora said. "Okay I'm sending it in now. "Prince Phillip replied
"We need to fix the arteries first. Get the nanites on them. "Prince Phillip said
"Your using nenotechnology to help him. "The doctor said "Yes we are. The nanites will fix the arteries and then the
outer layer of his chest. Just keep him stable. "Princess Aurora replied
"Your not going to leave them in him are you? "The doctor asked "No they will come out as the layers are repaired.
"Princess Aurora replied
They began to heal the wounds on the outside of Keith. The wounds slowly closed as the nanites repaired them.
"Incredible! Repairing him on a microscopic level. Hopefully he hasn't lost too much blood "The doctor replied
Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip were finishing up the work on Keith. Keith would still have scars from the attack.
The operation was a success and Keith would recover.
"He will need rest for a while. "Princess Aurora said
"We should take him back to the castle and let him recover and wait for the others to find the princess. "The doctor said
"Alright as soon as the wheel stops and puts us by the door. "Prince Phillip said
They took Keith back to the Castle of Lions on Arus. coran came as soon as Keith was back in the hospital. Haggar also
entered the room.
"Prince Lotor escaped to Planet Doom. The others won't move on him without a plan. They are sitting by an alliance ship
in orbit. "Coran explained as he turned on the screen and displayed an image on it.
"That ship is carrying spare atmosphere processors for the colonists. "Coran explained
"The ship gives me an idea. If we could drop one of those things on Lotor's base we could then cause an overload and blow
him right off the planet. "Haggar explained
"Princess Allura is down there somewhere. We can't let die. Someone will have to go down and rescue her. "Sven answered
"I will find her. "Princess Romelle spoke "Romelle it's too dangerous you can't "Sven replied
"I owe her for when she and the team saved our lives from Prince Lotor. I will be fine and I will find her. "Princess
Romelle answered
"I will join you Sven in Black Lion. "Haggar said as she raised her hands and disappeared.
Haggar appeared behind Sven in the Black Lion.
"What do you want me to do with you?" Sven Asked
"Put me on the surface near Prince Lotor's base. When the Atmosphere processor lands I will overload it. "Haggar explained
"How will you escape? "Sven asked. "Leave that to me. "Haggar answered"
"The colonists gave their okay to use one of the processors. One detached from the ship and started to descend towards
the surface of the planet.
