Keith knew from the shudder of the craft that the rebel shuttle had latched onto the underbelly of the command ship. Matt's technicians had found Shiro's possible location, but it was on a different ship, in the center of the Galra Empire.
A small squad of Matt's men went to free Keith's fellow prisoners, while Keith, Matt, and the rest of the able rebels went to find Shiro.
Keith didn't have his armor or bayard, but he had his good clothes back, and his knife. He was well equipped to take down whatever or whoever got in his way. Galra or not, he wasn't going to hesitate either. Not when he was so close.
They had snuck past a few Galra cruisers, and boarded with no problems. Keith hoped the Galra wouldn't cross them at all, but he abandoned the thought as soon as it came to his mind. He was never that lucky.
One of the technicians had also found more prisoners aboard this ship. Keith, (being his stubborn self), wouldn't agree to Matt's plan unless it involved saving the prisoners.
So, Matt adjusted his plans. He and Keith split, Matt leading half of the rebels to rescue the prisoners, and Keith leading the other half to find Shiro.
Keith and Matt shared a nod before sprinting opposite ways down the corridors. Keith and his few dozen soldiers stopped before rounding a corner, backs pressed to the wall as they waited for Keith's signal.
Keith cautiously peered around the corner, spotting the Galra soldiers. The alarms suddenly blared, making Keith jump as the soldiers stomped towards them.
He nodded to the men as he summoned his Marmoran knife. They all nodded back and readied blasters and other weapons of their own.
Keith leapt out, and dove towards the sentries, knowing Shiro was somehow past the door.
He hacked and jabbed his way through, leaving the rest for his men to blast. He came across a T-shaped intersection, and didn't know which way to go.
He spotted more soldiers from his right. His eyes darted to the left, and he froze, when the frighteningly familiar cackle reached his ears, and her shadow rounded a corner.
Wide-eyed and furious, Keith dove towards the Druid, his men completely leaving his mind. If they were rebels, then they could handle a few Galra that they outnumber two to one.
He pushed himself faster, faster. He had to catch her... Haggar, the High Druid of the Galra Empire. Haggar, Zarkon's top advisor.
Haggar, the one that had turned Keith into a monstrous freak. The one that was keeping Shiro from Keith now.
But not for much longer...
Something glowed at the end of the long hall, and a hunched, darkly robed figure appeared before him, running away, her laugh echoing and filling the corridor.
"Come back here!" Keith roared, pressing on faster. He was just about to reach her, when she suddenly vanished, and Keith smacked into glowing bars, keeping him from a larger room.
There was nothing in there, except the middle of the room. Sitting there on his knees, trembling in pain. Gaze to the floor, he didn't notice Keith at all. The white and black hair that hid his eyes was unmistakable.
"Shiro!"
