A/N: God, plot and dialogue are so hard to write. I just wanna get back to my whump :( but I know that I like fics better when they actually make sense, so I'm trying to make it flow at the very least. Also, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the response to my last chapter but *shrug* what can I do about that.

"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.
"Well, if it isn't our two honored guests," Haggar said with a sneer. "What are you doing out of your cell? Were you looking for a bit more⦠hospitality?"
The way that she said that made both paladins shiver. The thought of what Haggar could mean by hospitality was terrifying.
Haggar gestured with her hand, and several sentries stepped forward and pointed their blasters at the pod. Another sentry stepped forward, pausing at the panel to open the pod.
"I'd much rather have you both alive, but I'm sure only having one paladin would be acceptable to my lord Zarkon," Haggar smirked. "So if you want to live, you will not fight back as we take you to a more secured place."
Keith and Lance looked at each other and nodded minutely. They deactivated their bayards and let them fade back into their armor. Haggar gestured once more, the pod doors were opened and guns were leveled at the two paladins. Lance and Keith slowly climbed out of the pod and allowed themselves to be secured. They were lead roughly back to the cell area, the guards shoving them every time they of being shoved back into a cell, however, their captors kept going, pushing them along.
When they reached the end of the corridor, the paladins were shoved into a chamber empty of anything except for a metal chair in the middle of the room. The chair reminded Lance of the kind that dentists use, but this one had straps to keep the occupant in place.
"Now now paladins. You didn't think there wouldn't be consequences, did you? We can't have you trying to escape again, so hopefully this will teach you a lesson," Haggar scoffed. Three guards dragged Keith towards the chair as another two kept Lance off to the side. Keith kept twisting, trying to break free from his captors, but all he accomplished was making his arms sore.
"No!" he cried out as the guards strapped down his arms and legs to the chair. He tugged unsuccessfully at those restraints as the guards put one final restraint around his head. Haggar waved off the guards as she walked in front of the red paladin. Keith tried to turn his head away, but could barely move it a centimeter either way. Haggar cackled as she saw the paladin's struggles. She motioned to the guards holding Lance and they slammed him against the wall, knocking the breath out of him. As he struggled to regain his breath, Lance was helpless against the guards as they chained him to the wall at the edge of Keith's peripheral vision.
"Now, where to begin?" Haggar cackled.
