His Beautiful Nightmare 》Voltron [Voltron WA 2017]

Chapter 23

Shiro was doing a perimeter check around the castle.

The castle was clear, for now.

Maybe I'll go back to my room and do some reps or something...

What's that noise.

He heard metal clashing.
That wasn't the gladiator...

It wasn't rhythmic enough.

And why hasn't he seen Azalea in a while?

Wait.
That can't be....

With.....

In.....

WHY IS AZALEA FIGHTING KEITH?!?

This isn't good. Shiro was with the Galra for only a mere year, and he's still messed up in the head. Sometimes he has episodes in the middle of battles.

Azalea was a prisoner for six years. Shiro knew that must've had a huge affect on her mental health.

He ran down the hall.

Azalea fighting wasn't safe.
Especially if she was fighting Keith.

Keith was an extremely competitive fighter. That might take a lot out of her.

Not good at all.

Shiro rounded the corner, and sprinted into the training room.

What he saw shocked him.

It was all happening so fast, Shiro could barely keep up.

Keith kept expertly swinging at Azalea, but Azalea blocked his every blow with a pair of long daggers.
She was amazingly fast, practically dancing circles around Keith as if the training room were a skating rink.

Every now and then, Keith would have to duck as a dagger came whirring by his head and boomeranged back to Azalea.

Then Keith did the wrong move, and the young woman moved quickly. She swept her leg under his feet in one swift motion, sending him toppling to the floor.

Shiro had to stop himself from laughing out loud as he watched from the doorway.

He had to admit now, Azalea was almost a professional.

The black paladin watched Azalea skip around Keith, grinning.

"I WIN!!", she shouted.

And Keith....

He was actually smiling.

"Good job, Azalea", Keith chuckled.

Azalea helped him up, still grinning.
"Thanks, Boots!"

Shiro smiled at the two.

Maybe they wouldn't be so bad together after all.
