Ok, LAST CHAP! So, the battle will happen in this chap, sorry ahead of time if the battle is horrible, i'm bad at writing battle scenes. Also, if you wanna talk about anything or want to suggest a one shot or something, go to my tumblr paladinwilla, I'm open to everyone. Ok, back to the story!
Willa settled her feet firmly on the ground and closed her eyes. The Paladins shifted around her as they waited for her to see or feel anything. They were able to get aboard easily after welding the hangar doors closed and no one thought a thing aboard the battleship. They were now sneaking through the ship up towards the bridge where Sendak would be. They all held their bayards out, ready should they run into any guards. "How's it going over there, run into any trouble?" Matt's voice whispered through the comms as he sat on the Castle's bridge helping them.
"We're good so far. Willa's now using her bending to feel vibrations to see if anyone's coming or in the bridge," Lance whispered back.
"Ok, keep us updated," he said and Lance nodded.
"Alright," he said and Willa's eyes opened then and she nodded. "She's finished, we're heading out," he said and then snuck through with everyone else.
"Alright, I'll tell the others," Matt said and the comms went silent as Matt left the controls to tell the others. They went through the ship, dodging patrols of soldiers and made their way up to the bridge that was still fifteen feet above them. Willa raised a hand as the hollow steps of a patrol could be heard coming. She then waved them into an alcove where they could hide in as the patrol went by. Once the patrol was passsed, Willa waited a little before waving them out and continuing their way to the bridge.
"Almost there," Willa whispered to them and they all nodded.
"Matt," Lance whispered as they walked and he heard the comm mic move.
"Yeah, Lance?" Matt's voice came through.
"We're almost to the bridge," he said.
"Alright, when you get up there, be quick. When a Commander is in trouble, word spreads, fast. Don't linger," he said.
"Alright, I gotcha," he whispered back and relayed the info to everyone else since only Lance could hear Matt. They did it like that since having only one comm going into the battleship and out wouldn't draw anyone's attention on board. Lance was chosen to be the comm man since he was able to talk the quietest among them all. Everyone nodded and they continued through the hall toward the bridge until they arrived outside the door.
"Let me check," Willa whispered and they nodded. She planted her foot down and felt through the metal into the room and saw that Sendak had a couple officers inside. "There are two officers with Sendak," she said and they nodded.
"Ok, be ready everyone," Shiro said. "Pidge, do your thing."
"Matt, we're going in," Lance said.
"Good luck," came as the reply right as Pidge went to the panel and typed away. The door opened and they went in. The others went in front of Willa to protect her as she planted her feet on the ground and closed her eyes in concentration. Sweat beaded on her brow as she felt through the floor to Sendak's body and up onto his arm. She saw the small bits of earth in it and raised her hands toward it. Her brows furrowed in concentration as she moved her hands and made the arm move with it.
Sendak looked at his arm in confusion before it dawned on him that the girl was moving his arm with her bending. "Stop that girl!" he shouted and the two officers backed up from where they were fighting and ran toward Willa as she was oblivious to everything but the Galra arm she was moving. Shiro and Keith stepped between them and started fighting them. Sendak roared in frustration as he couldn't do much with the girl bending his arm but that didn't stop him. He moved toward her even though forced pulled his mechanical arm back.
He silently cursed the druids for changing his arm to be like the Champions one, all connected, not able to go farther from the person. He pulled his arm forward with him as the girl grunted with the strain of bending Galra metal. She grunts again as she moves one hand down and the other up. The metal does as her hands and the forearm bends up, folding double and Sendak looked down at his now useless cyborg arm and roared in fury. He ran forward and Willa threw her arms back, causing Sendak to go backwards too.
Both Shiro and Keith ran forward while Sendak was down and injured him, making it near impossible for him to escape and survive. "There! Let's go!" Shiro said and they ran from the room.
"Matt, we finished! Heading back to our Lions," Lance said.
"Good. See you soon," he replied and they continued running through, taking down any soldier that came in their paths. They ran through the door and entered the bay with their Lions inside. As they ran toward their Lion's, the Lion's particle barriers opened and allowed them in. Willa ran into the Red Lion with Keith and the Lion's then took off. The left the battleship and flew towards the Castle as it shot the ship. Soon the battleship exploded, everyone on board getting killed, though luckily they were all droids except for Sendak.
They arrived in the hangar and exited their Lion's, relieved they survived that battle and that nothing went wrong. Willa hugged her brother when they exited the Lion and he then went over to Blue where Lance was leaving his own Lion and pulled him into a hug. Lance was shocked before hugging back. He leaned back before leaning forward again and kissing and Pidge both made faces at them before looking at each other and laughing. The two broke up as everyone came in.
Matt and Sam ran to Pidge and hugged her tightly as Allura went to Shiro and hugged him, happy they all came back safe. The twins walked up to Willa and hugged her before moving back and allowing Thace to hug her. He then turned to Keith who gave a small smile before walking up to Thace and hugging him. Thace looked down at Keith in surprise before hugging him back. "You did it!" Allura said and everyone looked toward her. "You were able to defeat Sendak! He's just one of many that will need to be taken down, but since we did this, we'll be able to take out the others," she said and they all nodded solemnly.
Even though it was helping to free the universe, it still weighed heavily on them that they helped cause the death of Sendak. But at least they had each other so they could talk when it became too much for them. "How about everyone rest, you've earned it," Coran said and everyone nodded before leaving the room to get cleaned up. After getting cleaned up they all went to the living room area and sat on the couch.
Lance leaned against Keith who leaned against the couch back. Pidge was against hunk typing away at her computer and with Sam beside her at her feet that were up on the couch. Shiro sat on the other side of Keith with Willa lying between the two, her head on Keith's lap and her feet on Shiro's. They don't seem to mind that and Keith starts messing with Willa's hair. Matt lays between Lance and Pidge and Sam. His head on Lance's lap and his feet on the couch and Sam occasionally tickle Matt's legs and feet like old times.
"It feels nice actually relaxing and not doing anything," Matt said and everyone nodded.
"Yeah, though we will have to train tomorrow, so let's just relax right now," Pidge said and everyone nodded.
Ok, so this was short. Maybe I could have added it to the previous chap. Meh, oh well. Ok, so please tell me what you thought and message me on tumblr at paladinwilla if you want to ask me to do a one shot or something. LUV YA!
