A/N: Ayyy, I'm alive! Finals are done, I'm moved out of college for the summer, goddamn does it feel good to be done with school for now. Grades are out, and I'm pleased with the results! Anywho, here's more of the story!

Together, leaning on each other, they were slightly wobbly, but able to stand without too much trouble. They activated their bayards and got ready to fight.


Keith swung his sword at the lock and cleaved it in half, sparks flying everywhere. The door slid open, revealing a purple-lit hallway. A quick check revealed that the guards were nowhere in sight. The two paladins awkwardly shuffled out into the hall, leaning heavily on one another.

"Which way?" Lance wondered aloud. "What wouldn't I give to have Pidge in my ear, telling me where to go…"

"No Pidge here," Keith grunted, shifting slightly to try to lessen his pain. He huffed out a breath. "We need to find our own way out. Let's start by heading right."

Lance raised an eyebrow at that. "Why right? What if everything is actually to the left? What if we just end up hopelessly lost because you decided to go right?"

If Keith had the energy or a free, uninjured arm, he would have face-palmed at Lance's mini-rant. Instead, he just settled for rolling his eyes and saying, "We don't have time for what-ifs. We have to choose one way or the other. Right just feels… right."

Lance didn't look quite convinced, but he acquiesced Keith's decision. The two of them shuffle-walked as quickly as they could down the hallway to the right of their former cell. Whenever they heard a guard, they quickly ducked into one of the alcoves lining the walls. The sudden movements aggravated both paladin's injuries, but they managed not to get caught. They made there way through the ship for what seemed like hours (but was only about 20 minutes) when they found the escape pods.

"Whoa, lucky us!" Lance exclaimed quietly as they took a small break, leaning against the wall. Keith nodded, but after walking and supporting Lance for that long, even though Lance had supported him some too, Keith didn't have the energy to form words. They pushed off from the wall and shuffled-walked to the escape pods. Keith slapped his free hand onto the panel next to the closest escape pod. The doors opened, and triggered a loud alarm throughout the ship.

Lance and Keith looked at each other, panicked, before scrambling into the pod as quickly as they could and pressing random buttons to try to get the pod to launch. Luckily, one of the buttons closed the door, but none of them seemed to launch the pod. By that time, they could see the guards and sentries starting to crowd around the pod entrance.

"Why aren't they trying to get in?" Lance asked, confused. Unfortunately, the answer came swiftly, in the form of Haggar striding through the mass of guards.

"Shit," Keith hissed out.


A/N: AHAHAHAHA So, now that I'm done with school, I would think that I'd have more time to write, but nah. Ma is keeping me busy, also putting away all the things I took back from college is a huge chore. But I'll be working on this as much as possible to get more of this story out. It's going a little slowly, but I'm getting there! Thank you for your patience and support, reviews always help me get motivated to write more ;)

Insanity Moons: Geez, why would they make you write in gym class? I hope you're still alive after all that work. I'm happy that you still like reading my story ;)
JeromeHaddock15: I tried to plan a story once, and it never made it past outline form bc I had too many ideas at once. I tend to be more of a pantser writer *shrug*. I'm glad you are enjoying the story! Thank you for the compliments!
Saralei Nighthaven: Don't worry, I don't kill characters, just make them wish they were dead lol. Glad that you are cool with BroKlance, I don't think that anyone would enjoy me trying to write romance lol
