AN: I am really excited for this Fanfic! I was thinking about the plotline and I can't wait to reveal it!
Enjoy!
"What!?! You were supposed to get it when we had her the first time!" Haggar hissed. She thrust her hand out and caught the drune by the throat.
"We were…...then the Paladins showed up." The drune managed to get out despite the fact that Haggar's hand was squeezing his throat.
"Well then," Haggar smiled viciously, "since you failed to do it the first time I'll just half to do it myself." Haggar completely closed her hand around the drunes throat. The drune disappeared in a cloud of smoke
"And I promise you I will not fail."
On the castle in the Altean dining hall
"Wow…..Okay that was…" Hunk was at a loss for words.
"Intense." Lance finished his thought
Pidge had just told the Paladins what the Galatea did to her while she was captured and they were all shocked. Hunk had immediately wrapped her up in a hug and just held her.
Lance was shocked and didn't know what to think. He had made a few comments during her story, but he was quieted by Keith who stood beside her the whole time.
Shiro had remained silent. Saying nothing even after Pidge was done. Finally he spoke.
"Pidge, I'm so sorry. I-I had no idea what they had done too you." He places a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We will do everything we can to help you."
Pidge smiled she was feeling better then she was this morning. " Thanks guys."
"I need everyone on the bridge now!" Allura's voice rang throughout the hall.
The Paladins immediately jumped up from their seats and ran to the bridge.
"Allura what is it?" Lance asked.
"As we were passing Iryon we received a distress signal," Allura replied, "and we would like you guys to check it out."
"All right gang you heard her. To your lions!" Shiro ordered.
Now here's the thing about Iryon. Iryon is a sand planet, one moment it could be blowing sand everywhere then next it could be completely calm. There were stone columns that littered the surface and made it super dangerous to fly. Some of them even had caves hollowed out by the sand and wind.
Now as the Paladins landed a huge sandstorm kicked up and they were forced to stay inside of their lions.
"It's such a nice day out."
"Lance, shut up," An annoyed Keith replied.
Pidge and Lance's snickers could be heard over through the comms.
"Seriously guys we need to stay focused."
"Keith, I think you might be turning into Shiro." Pidge commented. With that Lance and Hunk burst into laughter.
"And what's wrong with being me?" Shiro asked as he had clearly missed the joke. This caused Pidge to laugh even harder, and you could hear Keith facepalm through the comms as he realized what he had just did.
Just then the sandstorm ended and everyone stepped out of their lions. Pidge still cackling like a hyena.
They walked up to the supposed cave the signal was coming from.
"Please don't tell me we all half to go in there," Lance said, "obviously none of us would fit in there."
"Well, obviously not you, especially with how big your ego is, but me? I would definitely fit," Pidge pointed out, as she had finally calmed down enough to make the comment. Only Lance was surprised to find out she was serious.
Ignoring Lance's clearly offended face Shiro looked over at Pidge.
"You sure?"
Pidge nodded, "Absolutely."
"All right we'll be waiting right here."
The cave's tunnel was so low that Pidge had to crawl through on her hands and knees. Everytime the sand shifted beneath her she jumped and froze, then she would continue forward again. As she neared the end of the tunnel the walls and ceiling started to angle away from her and form a large circular room.
"I think I made it," Pidge said into her comm.
"See anything?" Shiro asked.
"Give me a second."
She looked around the room. There was nothing in the room except sand, lots of it, and...a person? Pidge moved towards the figure turning on her flashlight as she did so.
"Hello? Are you alright?" She asked the figure. The figure turned toward her and looked up at her pitifully. The individual had long dirty white hair. A dirty ripped purple cloak covered its body.
"Can I help you miss?" Pidge asked again.
Without warning the figure reached her hand out so fast Pidge had no time to react.
"Yes, you can actually." The figure hissed.
That was unexpected.
Instead of having a barely audible voice and be in a weakened state because of the conditions outside the figure had a strong voice, and had a good grip.
"C-Can you let me go? You're hurting me." Pidge's voice cracked as she asked this because more pressure was applied to her forearm as the strangers nails dug through her armor and deeper into her skin. This person is crazy!
"That's the idea."
The stranger's eyes glinted yellow as Pidge dropped the flashlight onto the ground.
