The ship shock violently, tossing the paladins into the glossy, white walls.

"What the hell was that!?" Pidge asks, bracing for the next wave to him.

"The Galra, or more accurately, Lotor," Allura says, scowling.

Keith bit his lip. 'He's here for Lance,' Keith thinks, gritting his teeth.

The team raced to the lions, blasting off to fight. Lance stood with Coran. Liam's eyes tear up as he watches the ships fly.

"Ke!" He reaches for the screen. "Ke!" Liam whines as he tries to grab for the red loin that zips passed the the others.

"Key?" Lance says, he face scrunched up. "Keith? You want Keith?" Lance asks.

"Ke! Ke!" He blubbers, trying to grasp the red lion on.

Lance hushes him, swaying his body gently, in a desperate attempt in calming his child. "He'll be ok, he'll be ok," Lance hushes, nuzzling Liam into the crock of his neck. "Daddy will be here soon," he says, eyes closing.

"Where is he!?" Pidge yells in a panic. Suddenly, she screams. It was from a hit from behind.

"I got you Pidge." Quickly, Shiro flys his lion over to Pidge. "You okay Katie?" He asks.

"I'm fine. It Keith who I'm worried about." Taking a deep breath, Pidge gets her lion to work.

"Paladins! We've been breeched!" Coran yells through the cams. "Keith was lucky enough to fallow him in, Lance is on his way." He seems sad.

"He played us!" Hunk yells.

"We gotta go. Now!" Shiro grits. "They need us."

Keith swings his sword. Sparks seem to fly as the two blades clash. Keith, filed with anger, sees red amongst the sparks.

"Red paladin, it seems that you've mistook something that belongs to me." Lotor steps back, smiling calmly. "The only reason you were able to take my kitten away is because I let you. And now, I will take him back." He taunting Keith, filling him with rage. Fuel to the fire.

"Lotor!" Lance screams. Both men pause, looking towards Lance. "Stop," he says softly, moving every so slowly to the wild beasts at war. "If you leave, everything will be–"

Lotor cut Lance off, taking this moment to take Keith's hair in his grip, bring the other to he's knees and blade to his throat.

Keith screamed, knees slamming onto the floor, and feels the sword dig into his neck as a warning.

"Lotor no!" Lance screams, arm stretched out for him. Tears fill pool in his eyes. "Let him go please," Lance begs.

Light reflects in his warm, yellow eyes. No pity in his smile. "Where's the child?" He asks, and Lance froze. Terror fluids is mind. "Well? Answer me Blue," he hushes.

Lance draws his hand back to his side. Tears flow down his cheeks, and bites his lips. Nails dug into the flesh of his palms. He knew this would happen. Lotor told him, yet Lance foolishly allowed him to be happy thinking he was safe.

So he lies.

In a raspy, broken voice he says:" I lost him."

Lotor's grip tightens on the black locks on the red paladin. "What do you mean:' you lost him?'" He asks, with anger pledging his façade.

"He's dead. I lost him because I'm weak," Lance bits out every word shaking. He couldn't look into ether one of their eyes.

Keith looks pained, shocked. 'No, no. There's no way.' He thinks.

"Blue, get on the ship. I'll let your friends live, and we will talk about this later," he demands.

"Lotor, I'm sorry. I–"

"Now Blue!" He yells. Lance stiffens, and nods.

"Lance! Don't do it!" Keith yells, before having his face smashed into the floor.

"Silence." Lotor his him over the head, leaving the young man unconscious on the floor.

"Lotor please," Lance begs as Lotor grabs his hands. The door to the ship close behind then as Lotor pushes Lance's back up against the wall. "I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you," he whispers, kissing the tips of the tan fingers. "I was foolish to let you go. It won't happen again," he hushes, stroking the back of Lance's hair. "I'll make sure of it."
