I've decided to ditch the upload Saturday and Wednesday thing. It's not working. So here's my story for this chapter. When I was writing it I must have pressed the back space button too hard because it wouldn't stop erasing everything. I had to unplug the keyboard to get it to stop and then undo everything. I can't believe I'm not bald, I was so mad! Anyways, here's chapter 10~

GG11

Lance's fingers were all over the place. He was desperately trying to get Red back into his control. He felt that he was the last hope himself and his friends had, unless Keith was planning some drastic rescue but he would have to first rescue himself so Lance pushed that theory aside.

Using all his strength he turned the wheel so Red spun around leaving the triangular formation the lions had formed. As his lion twirled around, it bumped into Blue Lion causing them both to plummet towards the ground. Blue was able to catch itself but Red, still defying Lances's every command, refused to stop falling.

Giving up on turning the wheel, Lance glanced around at the controls looking for something that could aid him. His eyes rested once more on the monitor that the purple electricity had swirled around. Why would it do something like that anyway? Did Pidge know about that?

He ran his hand around the monitor glancing at the scream, in front of him, ever so often, to see how close they were from crashing into the ground. That's when he saw it. Written in tiny print was a Drule symbol signifying where it had been manufactured.

Lance's mouth dropped down to the floor, eyes growing wide, as realization hit him in the face. How did Pidge miss this? Where did he get his hands on it? How did he?

Knowing he needed to concentrate, he pushed any further questions aside and focused on the task at hand. Pidge had said something about this monitor being the place where all the new technology he had installed was hooked up to. Maybe if the Lion was liberated of the monitor the rest of the technology would shut down.

Glancing one last time, at the ground he was moments away from hurtling into, Lance wrapped his arms around the monitor and pulled as hard as he could. Sweat dripping from his brow, he ripped it from its joints.

"Are you sure?" Allura asked as Keith sharpened a rock he had found beside the stream the two sat at.
"I'm positive," Keith said. "If we don't do something, who will? If Lance, Pidge, and Hunk had defeated Lotor and had things under control then they probably would have already come to our aid. Lotor must have the upper hand in this one."
"But Keith, if you're caught-"
"I promise I'll be careful." Allura nodded and then wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her lips against his. Keith enclosed his arms around her waist returning the kiss passionately. After about five seconds he pulled away and ran his hand on her face. "I love you." He then placed a second kiss on her forehead.

Allura smiled. "I love you to." She didn't like the idea of Keith going back to the castle to face Lotor alone. Also, she didn't want him to leave her. She couldn't lose him. Especially now. She was planning their whole future in her mind, from the wedding to the children's names that they would have. She often dreamed of small parts of this fantasy before Keith had even told her how he felt. Now that fantasy had grown into reality. All that had to be done now was get this past Nanny and of course defeat Lotor and get the Lions back.

Keith made the finishing touches to the blade of the spear he was creating and then tied it with a vine to the stick he had found earlier. It wasn't the best weapon he'd ever held but it was sturdy and would kill if throne at the right momentum.

"Stay in hiding and don't talk to any strangers," Keith said taking Allura's hand in his.

"Who do you think I'm going to find out here?" Allura asked.

Keith shrugged. "You never know. Stay safe." he placed one last kiss on her forehead and then turned to leave.

Without checking to see if Red had responded to him removing the monitor, Lance through the monitor aside and leaped into his seat. He grasped onto the wheel and turned it with no problem. Red, responding nicely, soared back up into the sky. Just in time to. They had only been a few meters from the ground.

"It worked!" he exclaimed. Now if he could just do the same to the other four Lions. He wished he could somehow communicate with the others to tell them of what he had found out. He didn't want to break the news of the technology to Pidge. He had worked so hard installing it.

That's when he noticed the other Lions were now charging at him again. But this time he was able to fight back. Hagar would haft to fight with one Lion at a time. She couldn't give each one a command at the same time. Lance decided to use this to his advantage.

As Black lunged towards him, Lance navigated Red behind Blue. Black followed Red's course and crashed into Blue. As this happened, Lance quickly fired laser blasts at the two colliding Lions. Both fell to the ground. Pidge and Hunk would have their work cut out fixing the damage Lance was about to cause.

From the ground Hagar glared at Black and Blue Lions which were now lying motionless on the ground. Hagar found herself unable to control both of them. They were to out of whack to even rise from where they had fallen.

"Knock him out the sky, witch!" Lotor, who was standing beside her, ordered pointing at Red Lion.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Hagar hissed.

Pidge sighed. Leave it to Lance to completely demolish the Lions. He was in fact the last person on earth Pidge would put in that situation at the moment. At least Keith would do his best to not fry the Lion's engine. He glanced at Hunk and said, "If we get out of this, you're helping me fix them."
"Oh man!" Hunk exclaimed. "Can't you get Coran or something?"

Pidge shook his head. "Yes because Coran is such a good mechanic." He said sarcastically.

From inside Red Lion, Lance steered Red away from the missiles Green Lion had just shot at him. A smile suddenly spread across his face. He quickly navigated Red down towards Hagar's little camp sight.

Before Hagar could give another order to Green and Yellow Lions, Red Lion stomped down in front of her, lasers pointing directly at Lotor.

"Free my friends! Now!" he shouted into the speakers.

Hagar grimaced and glanced at Lotor who stood arrogantly glaring at the laser that was aimed directly at him. He then glanced back at her. "Finish him off!"

Lanced suddenly found Yellow Lion crashing into Red's side at a tremendous speed. Red soared to the right and plummeted onto of a few trees in the forest.

Worried that the same thing that had happened to Black and Blue Lions had happened to Red, Lance hastily made sure everything was alright and to his relief Red got up only with a few dents. Yellow on the other hand had bounced off Red when it had slammed into it and then was hurled farther into the forest. It rested on the ground motionless. Red was a tough old machine.

"That wasn't my fault Pidge," Lance said into the speakers.

"I know," Pidge mumbled.

Keith made his way up to his wrecked Lion. Next to it rested Blue which was in the same state as Black. Keith had quietly returned to the scene unnoticed. He almost wished he had brought Allura along, that way they could retrieve their Lions together. The question was how bad was the damage. He made his way inside Black Lion and hopped into his seat.

He began pressing buttons and switching on switches trying his best to turn the lifeless machine back on. Then he noticed the key was missing from its hole. He glanced around to find the small object. When he spotted it on the far corner of the area, he quickly hopped up and made his way over to it to pick it up.

Then he placed it into the key hole and Black Lion sprang back to life. What on earth did Lance do to you? He wondered about the Lion. Must have been harsh considering the key had fallen out. It was unheard of.

He steered Black into the sky and navigated it towards Red's battle with Green Lion.

"I see you're having quite a ball there," he said switching on communication with Lance.

Lance was almost too stunned to respond. He stuttered, "K-Keith, how did-" he was interrupted by the lasers being fired at his Lion. He quickly dodged them and then continued. "How did you get back here? Where's Allura? How did you get Black to come back on?"

Before answering his friend's questions, Keith quickly fired a few missiles at Green Lion. The missiles collided with it and sent it tumbling to the ground.
"Long story. I'll explain later. Let's get Pidge and Hunk back," Keith said.

"Did you take out the monitor?" Lanced asked.

"What monitor?" Keith responded.

Lance explained his theory about the technology Pidge had installed allowing Hagar to take control of the Lions.

When Lance had finished, Keith glanced at the demolished monitor to his right. He examined it closely. When he saw the small Drule symbol he was disgusted. "Let's kick these morons off our planet!"

"When did you learn how to talk like that?" Lance asked smugly.

"When I met you, now let's go!" Keith exclaimed.
