What was wrong with Keith, he has been acting so differently but I don't have time to think of that.

"Paladins, suit up" Coran said through the speaker. "We have two enemy ships approaching". I looked over at Keith, "could be galra" I said and he just nodded. I pulled on my helmet and Keith did the same. I turned on the speaker and asked "let's get to the lions, Keith and I will take the lead".

We bolted to the holding bay and fired up our engines. The others had just connected to the radio. "Wait up Lance" Allura sweet tone rang through the radio. "Sorry Allura but the faster we can intercept then the faster they will leave. Keith are you ready to take flight" I finished, "Yeah lance" " let's go"

Space was so dark, it made me think of Keith dark eyes, the way they looked into mine, Wait why was I thinking like that. Two huge ships hovered below us . "What's the plan Keith". I asked. We slowly circle and sluggishly descend. "How about you try and get on board I will keep watch" "sounds like a plan". I dropped down hovered. The ship seemed deserted. I saw and open docking bay and flew in. "See you soon red" I told my lion and jumped out. The gravity was fairly normal and the air was oxygen but I kept my helmet on away way. "You on lance" Keith voice made me jump. "Yeah I'm in but the connection is very bad" I said as the audio broke apart. No sign from the other paladins but that's was okay this ship was obviously empty.

I stalked through very familiar walls. It seemed to be a Galra ship that could have been highjacked by space pirates. I held my gun and ducked around. I peeked my head around a corner and saw something shift at the end. "Keith something is moving at the end of the hall, I'm going to check it out" "b-b-e ca-r-re f-ful" his voice was breaking up and distorting.

Every time I turned a corner I saw the thing move and the faster I when the faster it moved. I ran to a sudden stop. Dead end but it was a door. I pushed and budged but it was firmly shut. I had a very bad feeling in my gut and then turned to find my way out. The path was blocked by things. The closer I looked they were like Robot spider things but the same size as German shepherds. "Keiiiittttthhh' I scarily hummed into the head piece. "I have big spider robots trapping me", I shot at one but the bullet just bounced off it metal legs. "Keith Umm I need backup, help" the radio was cracking and breaking up and I had no idea what he was saying. The spiders were edging there way closer to me, snipping pincers and menacing me. "Keith please help" I whispered into my radio, I hate spiders so this was a waking nightmare. I pressed and kicked the door. "Ajjj-chhhh-looossssseee—y-y-ou" sounds came from the radio. I gave the door a strong push. It creaked a little and a gap opened slightly. The spiders clicked closer. I ran towards them ten turned. I ran as fast as I could and slammed my shoulder against the door.

Crack

It flew open. I was happy to get away from the spiders but when I looked in the room. Five fully armed galra guards looked back at me, guns aimed at my chest. "That's not good" I said. I shuddered to a stop as I was shot with five stun guns. The world went dark.

"Lance, lance please dear god wake up please I can't lose you" his voice hummed in my ear as I passed out.

This one is really short but I promise the next one is long and very fluffy
