Ahahaha, me updating lowkey became a myth. Let's blame it on stress about the fact i have testweek in one week, shall we? Also action scenes, I procrastinate action scenes... also be nice to me, i have not seen season 6 since i'm forcing myself to write this, so don't yell at me if something happened.

As soon as the two reached their lions they received a call from Coran, they accepted the call and opened the hologram, being greeted by worried Coran next to an equally worried Allura.

Coran spoke up as soon as he saw Keith and Shiro seated in their respective lions "Remember planet Corsa? Well bad news prince, commander, the planet is being attacked by the galra at this very moment. The others are currently on their way to the planet."

Shiro nodded, "We are already here, we can see them coming"

Keith grinned a little, "Don't worry Coran, we got this."

Coran nodded, "Goodluck prince", he hung up the call and the two started up their lions. They headed straight to the galran fleet with determined faces, only to be surprised when there was a voice speaking up via the intercoms of the biggest galran ship.

"Prince Keith, Commander Shirogane, if you two give over your lions we won't attack you." Shiro's eyes glared at the galran fleet, knowing that they were lying, and knowing Keith knew that too. Instead of accepting the bargain they speeded towards the galran fleet, their lions ready to destroy their ships.

The galran ships dodged the lions as soon as they saw them speeding towards the fleet, the ships getting ready to attack the paladins inside.

The lions started to attack as soon as they were in a comfortable range with the fleet, aiming their weapons straight at the ship they knew Sendak was in, wanting to end him once and for all. However, the fleet proved to be bigger than they had first though.

Keith huffed in annoyance as he dodged yet another ship that red soon caught in her mouth and flung against another ship, "This is going to he longer than I suspected."

"You think you can handle this then? We're both quite out of practice."

He gave an offended gasp at the question, "If we weren't in the middle of a battle, i swear i'd show you i'm very much in practice."

"Well then, show it in battle, let's see if you're really better than a new recruit in a army."

With another offended gasp, Keith charged his lion towards the main ship, using a laser to blast the ship's engines. He was followed by Shiro who further wrecked the main ship before returning to the left over battle cruisers.

They eliminated the battle cruisers in a few dobashes, give or take, which is when the others arrived in their lions. "Aww man, Shiro and Keith had all the fun!" was the first thing Lance said when he saw the wrecks of countless battle cruisers and the main ship.

Shiro responded calmly with a, "We were nearby anyway, couldn't let them get away, especially not since Sendak was on the ship."

"Sendak? You dropped his name so many times but you never said who he was?", both Keith and Shiro reacted surprised when they heard Allura's voice but the others didn't show any sign of being surprised which led them to think they probably already knew.

"Allura? Why are you in green?"

"Pidge took me with them, they said it'd be fun."

"That's what she said."

"LANCE!"

Everyone except for Keith and Shiro sighed in a disappointing manner, the other two just frowned in a confused manner, still not understanding quite what was happening.

"But, it was.....what Pidge said?"

"Exactly?"

The others continued sighing in disappointment before Allura reminded Shiro of her question, to which Shiro joined the sighing. The memories of Sendak weren't pleasant to either him or Keith, nor would the explanation be pleasant for either of their paladins.

Keith, understanding Shiro's disdain for explaining Sendak, started the explanation. "Well, Sendak is a commander under Zarkon, has been for thousands of years, he is a nasty man, even for a galran. Having little care for others around him, the only thing he seems to like is serving Zarkon. The other thing is, that Sendak is the only commander who knows who Shiro and i are, leading Zarkon to constantly send him to us. He's the only one under the rule of Zarkon that understands how important it is for us to get caught, or killed."

"Besides Lotor."

Both Shiro and keith had a very concerned look on their faces at the mention of Lotor, meanwhile the other paladins looked more confused than ever. The explanation left them more confused as soon as the last two words left Shiro's lips.

"Who is Lotor?" was weakly uttered by Hunk, all the others nodding in agreement with the question. Their need to have their questions answered increasing. This time it was Shiro who started the explanation, silently thanking Keith for leaving the easier part to him.

"He is the prince of the Galra empire, well exiled prince. He disagreed with his father's way of ruling and tried to start a rebellion, ending up with him being banned. After being banned he lived on the castle for a while, we welcomed his gladly. But after the war, he disappeared, we don't know where he went."

"The last thing he gave us was his old blade, he left it in the training room, together with a note. I don't remember what is said anymore, but he promised to end the war."

The others listened quietly until Shiro and Keith were done, trying to find a question to ask them next but eventually finding nothing. "Well then, shall we head back to the castle now that we're done?". They nodded in agreement and followed red and black back to the castle.

As soon as they were back, they decided to gather in the castle lounge. Keith, Shiro and Coran sat together on one of the couches and Lance, Hunk, Allura and Pidge sat on the others. Shiro was the first one to break the silence "So, do you have more questions for us left?"

"Can i stay with Pidge in the green lion during battles?"

"Yeah sure, there's another seat but hold on well during flying."

"Could we go to prisoners on a ship?"

"If the ship is big and important enough, then yes, there would be prisoners and yes we would free them."

"Can we go sleep?"

"When questions are done, yes."

That answer was met with several shouts of 'We are done talking thank you' and the three watched the other four run to their own rooms. They slowly turned to look at each other with a confused look on their faces, they eventually shrugged and went to bed as well.

As soon as Keith and Shiro were in the privacy of their own chamber they relaxed, shedding their usual attitudes and forgetting their duties and worries for just a little while. That is, until Keith spoke up, voicing a question that had been swirling around Shiro's head as well.

"Do you think Sendak escaped?"

Shiro shot Keith a smile and embraced him softly, "Why would you think that? You were amazing out there baby, we destroyed his ship." Keith smiled softly, but he knew they both weren't fooled by Shiro's words. They both knew it was very likely Sendak escaped the ship safely, even if it was destroyed.

They both decided to ignore it anyway, and walked over to the bed, still holding each other tenderly. They fell on the bed with a crash, which they decided to ignore also, and ended snuggling closer to one another.

Shiro having one hand on Keith's waist and the other one stroking through his hair, looking deeply into Keith's eyes. While Keith had his arms tightly wrapped around Shiro's waist still, snuggling closer and looking back into Shiro's eyes.

He broke the eye contact and rested his head against Shiro's chest, while Shiro's arm wrapped around Keith's waist. He smiled as Keith blinked sleepily and kissed the younger male on the forehead, "Sweet dreams baby".

"G'night Shiro"

Bad chapter? Yes, but i can't bring myself to write more. Also, do you guys think Sendak is alive?
