Happy 4th of July to my readers that celebrate it!! I'm not celebrating this year because we have nothing to do.

_______________________________________________________________

The three of us jumped out of the yellow lion. Using our jet packs we flew over to the gills, Hunk struggling a bit. The gills opened and closed with each breath, Hunk flew next to Keith and I, only to flip upside down.

"Got it. Got it." He said once he got in the right position, and we flew inside the gills and down a tunnel. We exited the tunnel and landed in a part of the weblum with gas rising. Hunk put his foot down, only to immediately pull it back up, a green goo dripping from is foot.

"Aw yuck! What am I standing in? A mucus pocket? I do not like mucus. And is that steaming stomach acid? Lookit right over there. Oh man I really hope I don't see any blood!"

"Hunk! Knock it off, you're freaking yourself out." Keith said.

"No, standing inches away from a pus bubble is freaking me out." Hunk said and stomped on the bubble. Pus flew out, making jump back to avoid being hit, and started steaming which in turn made Hunk panic more.

"Look, we're inside a disgusting worm. There's no sugar coating it." I agreed with Keith as I crossed my arms and looked around at the acid. "We're going to need that big brain of yours if we want to make it through. Will you be alright?" Hunk continued to whine to groan while looking around.

"Will you be alright?" I asked a little louder. Hunk slowly turned to look at the two of us.

"Okay, okay." He takes a deep breath. "I'll be okay."

"Good. We gotta be able to count on you." I say and pat his shoulder.

"Besides, no one knows and explosive digestive track like you." Keith says and walks away.

"Wait did you just make a joke? Seriously that was a joke wasn't it?" Hunk says. I shake my head with a smile. Keith flies to another part of the weblum, Hunk and I behind him.

"You're saying I throw up a lot. I get it. It's funny." Hunk laughs as Keith ignores him.

"Wow. Glara Keith is way funnier than regular Keith." Hunk says as we approach behind Keith, who's staring at the wall of the weblum.

"He's not any different, Hunk. Well, you know, besides being part Galra. He's not any different." I tell him.

"Okay, we need to find a way around the stomach acid." When Keith finishes his sentence, little creatures come from the wall we're staring at. They look familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

"What are those?" Keith asks as they start to fly around us.

"I don't know, maybe they're bacteria?" I know I've seen them before. Two of the creatures fly to Hunk and land on his head.

"Wait, they seem friendly. They like me! They're tickling me!" He says as more fly to him. "Wait, that's not tickling. That's hot acid! They want to kill us!" He yells as he throws them off.

"That's it!" I yell, making the boys whip their heads to look at me. "They're from Coran's video. You know. the part where he said these things could kill us?" I explain as we all got out our bayard.

"I think they're part of the creatures digestive system. They're trying to break down the food and we're the food." Hunk yells as he starts shooting. Keith and I slice the creatures while standing back to back. I hear a yell, Keith and I turn to see Hunk being absorbed into the wall of the weblum.

"Hunk!"

"I'm here. I'm surrounded by blood. I hate blood!" Hunk says through the comms.

"You've got to find a way out of the circulatory system." I say. Keith and I continue to fight the little creatures. More and more come out making us back up. We stop at and edge, below us is the pool of acid.

"Hunk, we're outnumbered here. Meet us in the third stomach. Korra, get ready."

"Get ready for wh--" I cut myself off with a scream, as Keith wraps an arm around me and dives into the acid. A warning pops up in front of my eyes. I tap my helmet to make it go away.

"Gotta find a way out of this acid." Keith mumbles as we swim away.

"It was your idea." I say, Keith snorts but doesn't respond. He leads me into a tunnel, then we're falling into another part of the weblum. Keith suddenly turns on his jet pack and yanks me to the side. We land heavily on something hard, Keith on his stomach, me on my back. I pant, trying to catch my breath. I turn to the side and see a helmet staring back at me. I let out a startled yelp, and jump back.

"Impossible." Keith says. The person inside is wearing Galra like armor. The ship that we landed on, looks like a Galra fighter ship. Lovely, a Galra in the weblum. Keith starts to whack away the vine like things surrounding the ship.

"Don't move we're here to help." He says and cuts out part of the glass, making an opening. He helps the person out, noticing the Galra symbol on their suit, he pushes them out of the way and takes their gun pointing it at them.

"You're Galra." He says, I still have my bayard out, standing beside him. A familiar squeak makes us all look up, the creatures have entered where we are and are forming a giant ball near the top.

"What are you doing?" I ask the person, they're typing on their arm. Alarms from the ship start blaring.

"You're turning the ship into a bomb." Keith says. The small creatures start to fly towards us. We all jump off the ship just as it explodes, we turn on our jet packs. Keith and I put up our shields in a attempt to block some of the blast. We still get pushed by it, knocking us through a wall and thudding on the ground.

"Keith! Korra, are you there? Guys answer me!" Hunk's voice says. I'm about to answer when the unknown person attacks Keith. I get up to help when the person shoots, hitting some creatures behind him.

"I guess you can keep your weapon."

~~~

"Keith, Korra! You made it! We all made it!" Hunk says when Keith and I enter the third stomach with the mystery person. "Who's this?" He asks and the person goes over to, what I'm assuming is one of the glands.

"Someone we found. He doesn't talk much, also he's Galra." Keith answers as I watch the person.

"What, you all know each other?" Hunk chuckles while Keith glares at him.

"You sure we should be rescuing a Glara solider right know?" Hunk asks us. I shrug and let Keith answer. I'm indifferent right know.

"We're paladins of Voltron. We can't just leave people behind to die. Even if they're Galra." I nod, feeling slightly proud of Keith's words. "Now come on, let's get what we came for and get out."

"Okay, that might be a problem. The gland somehow secretes mucus, or saliva or something gross, which becomes crystallized." Hunk says.

"Okay?" I say, not understanding where Hunk is going.

"The problem is, I think we have to trigger the weblum's defense mechanism." Hunk explains. Oh yeah, Coran's video did say that. A rumble mad us look up and see more of the small creatures coming in.

"Not again." I say as Keith lets out a loud groan. The creatures form the giant ball again, then shooting out to attack. We all fly around, avoiding them. I slice at some of the creatures, making them fall to the ground. Hunk uses his canon to shoot the giant ball, making a hole, only for the creatures to quickly repair it. The weblum starts to rumble again. Then openings at the top and bottom of the weblum open, sucking the creatures in. In turn, that starts to suck us in, we all, including the unknown person, holds on to the ground, in hopes of not getting pulled in.

"I think this thing is getting rid of the excess gas produced from it's multiple stomachs." Hunk yells over the noise.

"What?"

"It's farting!" I yell and laugh with Hunk. After a minute it stops, we all stand up.

"Hunk, what do we gotta do to get the gland goop?" Keith asks. Hunk thinks for a minute.

"I know what to do!" He says and starts to fly away.

"What?" Keith asks.

"If we want the gland to ooze, I need to get farted out of its butt and attack its face to get it to fire its laser puke." Hunk says. Keith and I glance at each other, I shrug.

"If he knows what to do." I say to Keith as Hunk says. "For the sake of the universe, I'll provoke the beast, you three stay here and get the scaultrite!" The small creatures get ready to attack again.

"Hurry! I don't know how long we can hold these things off." Keith yells after him. Hunk flies out the weblum.

"I'm out! Heading to my lion now." Hunk says after a few minutes.

"Hunk, what ever you're going to do, do it now!" I yell as Keith, unknown, and I stand back to back, fighting off the creatures.

"Roger that. Provoking giant space worm now." He says through the comms.

"Hunk!" Keith yells as more and more of the creatures surround us. I continue to swing at them, already feeling the sweat drip from my forehead. Suddenly to creatures fly away, the gland behind us starts to glow and form the scaultrite.

"It's working!" The glow gets brighter and brighter.

"It's about to get hot in here." I yell and lead Keith and unknown to one of the holes in the wall of the stomach. Unknown goes in first, then me and Keith sits near the entrance. Keith puts up his shield. The laser shoots out, a bright blue light surrounding us. I grip Keith's arm and squeeze my eyes shut. When the light disappears, we fly out the hole.

"You alright?" Keith asks. I nod and smile at him, he smiles back and looks at the scaultrite floating around.

"Please tell me you got the scaultrite?" Hunk asks.

"Grabbing it now." Keith says and gets out one of the many compressed bags Coran gave us. After filling all the bags I sit next to Keith as he ties it shut. A gun whirring makes us turn to see Unknown pointing their gun at us. I freeze and Keith just glares.

"So, you're just like the rest of 'em." He says. Unknown takes on of the bags and flies away. I sigh in relief.

"I'm coming out." Keith tells Hunk as he gives my hand a squeeze.

"On my way."

~~~

"Where's your buddy?" Hunk asks once we enter the cockpit of the lion.

"He's long gone with a bag of scaultrite." Keith answers.

"What? Should we go after him?"

"No. What ever the Galra are planning, it won't matter we defeat Zarkon."

"Besides its only one bag." I say and lean against the wall.

"Copy that." Keith comes up to Hunk's chair and leans over to look at him.

"By the way Hunk, you really came though in a clutch back there. Without you, the mission would have been a failure." He tells him, making me smile fondly at him.

"Aw thanks Glara Keith. You're all right. I think turning Galra made you a better human."

"I didn't turn Glara!" Keith yells at him. I giggle. Keith grumbles as he goes to lean against the wall in front of me.

"What you looking at?" He asks when he notices me staring.

"Nothing." I smile

Just thinking of how you'll make a great leader, I think while fiddling with my necklace.
