Reina: Here's that fic from the last chapter.... I'm using Voltron to test it out. And Vocaloid. And Zelda.

Shanghai: A city located in China.

Shanghaied: To be forced into joining a ship. Many methods included intimidation and drugging. Synonym: crimping.

Keith's POV

"Ow...." I muttered as my eyes opened slowly. My head was pounding, and it hurt keeping my eyes opened. I shut them tightly for a second before reopening them.

"You're awake," a voice calmly stated.

"Who the f*** are you?" I muttered back.

"I'm Link. And you are.....?" The blonde replied.

"Hungover."

"Nice to meet you Hungover."

"Ugh..... Where are we?" I asked as I sat up.

"On the HMS Crypton."

I blinked. "The Crypton...? How did I get here?"

Link looked down. "I.... don't know. I just woke up myself."

I nodded slowly before jumping up. "Where's Shiro?! And Lance?! And Hunk?! And Pidge?!"

Link tilted his head. "Who?"

"My friends," I explained quickly.

"They're probably gone by now on another ship," a voice muttered from the distance.

Link and I turned to the voice. It was a man with blue hair and blue eyes. His eyes were sunken and hollow, as if he never slept.

"What do you mean by that?!" I demanded.

"They were probably shanghaied elsewhere?"

"Shanghaied?" Link asked.

The man scoffed. "We're going to Shanghai and never coming back. We have to work on this ship."

"Why?"

"Because these ships don't have crew members. And it's easier to kidnap strangers and forge signatures than to actually recruit people."

"What?!" Link and I yelled.

The man nodded. "Aye..... Taken away from our homes to serve a cruel master on the high seas. It's a death sentence indeed."

"How were we kidnapped?" I asked.

"Do you remember anything?" He asks.

I tried to think for a moment. "Well.... Shiro and I went to celebrate Pidge's birthday with Hunk and Lance at the local bar, where a bartender handed me a drink...."

"She drugged and sold you," the man finished.

My jaw dropped. "Why?"

"Extra cash...." he muttered. "I've seen it happen before. Bartender drugs stranger, sends them on a ship. And now we are stuck."

"Why should we trust you?" Link demanded.

The man sighed and took off his shirt. Before I could wonder why he did that, I gasped at the sight. Scars and stitches ran across his body, along with bruises and burns. It looked as if he went to hell several times.

"That's why," he whispered. "You'll wind up like me. Damaged and scarred."

Link and I nodded slowly. "Okay...?"

"Kaito," he replied. He sighed and looked to the side. "And soon, we're going to be in hell."

Reina: Really this story could become Zelda, Voltron LD or Vocaloid.

I hope you guys liked it.
