Bang

"Nice shot Lance," hunk smirked as they walked down the halls as Keith was a few feet ahead to see if it was clear. They passed a shot down guard as Pidge just stepped over it as she had the map pulled up in the middle between Lance and hunk.

"Two more corners to the center, left," he told keith and he glanced down the halls and on the left saw it was clear.

"We're good," he nodded and ran ahead to the next corners as Lance aimed his gun to the right then went left.

"Keep going straight," Pidge pointed two fingers down the hall and Keith held his sword tightly.

"Right,"

"We got company," they heard quietly in the head sets as Keith was farther down the hall where they where suppose to turn and he hid behind the wall as he looked at them.

"How many?" Pidge asked through her headset and they all could hear.

"Enough to have it be the center, there's a good shit ton in there," Keith told them gruffly and Lance snorted making everyone send him a look.

"That's where they have to have Shiro," Pidge nodded.

"I'm going in," Keith told them.

"Hey dumb ass, you want us all to get caught? Think it through," Lance warned before Keith could do anything.

"So what's the plan? I don't think I can get back over to you guys," Keith told them as he was on the left side of the entrance on the hallway on the right. He'd have to cross over again to get to them.

"What's the estimate of guards?" Hunk asked looking back.

"Eight,"

"Anyone got a plan?" Pidge asked.

"Lance set your gun to sniper, take out as many before your caught, then run, Pidge you stay back-" "no way in hell in staying back," Pidge cut Keith off.

"If you'd listen to me..." He glared at her. "You stay down the hall on the left and as Lance runs back you take out the rest while hunk and I take out the remaining, you two make sure it stays clear as we get Shiro,"

"Good plan," Lance agreed.

"What if shiros not in there?" Hunk asked softly.

"We rescue whosever is in there," Pidge nodded as Keith agreed.

"Lance you know what to do," Keith looked at him. Lance took a deep breath and got up starting up his blaster.

"Prince Lotor, there has been intruders," Hagar walked up to a tall galra male, he had lavender skin with long icy white hair as his yellow eyes with dark midnight blue iris's.

"Pull up security," the galra Prince, lotor, walked to a panel and holo grams of soldiers fighting against four Paladins as two where either shooting and other two are fighting close with blades.

"Interesting," Lotor smirked leaning down.

"They're outside your door? Why would they be after you?" A girl skipped up as she had magenta skin and dark purple and grey armor with orange.

"I believe they are after the champion," Hagar glared at the general.

"Now now Hagar, that's no way to treat one of my generals," Lotor shooed the Druid.

"What should we do prince Lotor?" Hagar asked flatly.

"Let them finish, that blue one, his skills are most impressive," Lotor looked at the blue paladin smirking.

"He's a pathetic human, what good could he be?" Hagar snarled.

"Well these pathetic humans took out my father," Lotor chuckled smugly. "They have skill,"

"What should we do lotor?" Ezor asked behind him.

"Let them finish taking out the guards, let them try fighting for their leader, let them break, then I will take the blue one," he turned to the two women.

"No Paladins, no Voltron," he smirked.

The two galra's exited the room as Lotor turned back to the panel as he gently moved his hand to the blue paladin curiously as his hand went through the holo gram. His chest tightened with a strange warm, no hot, a blazing hot feeling that swam around his heart.

"A little blue flame aren't you?" Lotor swiped his hand across the panel and made the blue paladin disappear as well as the others.

"You will be useful to me,"

Keith leaned on hunk as he coughed up blood that dripped onto his lips from the blood falling from his head. Hunk had bruises around his body as blood was running down his nose. Pidge was on her knees away from the two boys as she held her side that had a gash. Lance held his bleeding arm as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth as scratches around his face.

He grunted shooting the last soldier as Pidge for to her feet and walked to him resting her hand on his shoulder.

"We need to get Shiro, Keith isn't looking to good guys," hunk gulped as he helped the second shortest.

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed when you walk in there, your champion is not in there," a silky voice told them and they looked back seeing another galra. They had no idea who or what he was...

"Where's Shiro?" Keith spat angrily.

"I do not have your leader, you've fought for nothing," he walked forward.

"I'm here to make a deal," the galra looked down at all of them before getting close to any.

"What deal?" Pidge asked as she was hunched over.

"A paladin for your freedom, and a free escape," the galra's face was calm.

"How do we know your not lying? Or can even do that?" Keith grunted.

"I have a high rank in the empire," he smirked.

"So, do we have a deal?"

"What paladin?" Pidge glared holding her weapon.

"Your most intelligent one, your very quick and strong, the galra could use something like you," Lotor looked at the four Paladins. Keiths eyes widen as he tried getting out of hunks arms.

"You'll let everyone go then?" Keith asked softly.

"That is the deal," the galra nodded.

"Deal," Keith looked down. Pidge and hunk cried for Keith as Lance stood there in shock. They where going to loose Keith? First Shiro now Keith?

"Not you red paladin," the galra scoffed glaring.

"Him," he pointed to Lance.

"Me?" Lance whispered in disbelief.

"Do you still consider the deal?" The galra asked as Lance slowly walked forward with his heart racing and blood drying on his hand up his arm.

"Do I have a choice?" Lances voice cracked looking at him with sad eyes.

"Lance wait, no please," hunk whimpered.

"Take me, I am your prisoner for my friends freedom," Lance bowed his head down. He felt a hand placed on his shoulder and was lead away as they where teleported in a flash leaving the three remaining Paladins alone and missing two.
