Opposites Attract // Klance

Chapter Two : Torture

The huge mechanical lions touched down on the planet, their metal claws digging into the soft pink sand. In front of them was the blue lion, half covered in the pink sand.

The half that was visible was chipped and worn, but the force field that protected it meant they couldn't inspect it too closely.

"Trust lance to take such bad care of his lion.." Keith grumbled, as he caught up with Shiro, who was standing in front of the protected lion.

"Somehow I dont think this was Lance's fault.." Shiro trailed off, pointing at a smear of blood on the Lion's cheek.

Drops of blood littered the beach, some of it red, and some of it that seemed to be a strange tiel color.

"I wonder what happened here.." Keith trailed off, bending down and looking at a little pool of blood. His eyes widened with worry all of a sudden, "Shiro! What if this is Lance's blood!" He gasped.

Shiro only grimaced, like he had already thought of that. "It may be, but we wont know until we find him." he replied after a while, picking his words carefully.

The two of them headed into the jungle, following the little drops of blood that led through the leaves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had lost the blood trail pretty early on, but it wasn't hard to figure out where they had been going, as the flora had been crushed in the direction that whoever was walking was going.

Shiro called to a stop, bending over. His back was towards Keith.

"Shiro, we dont have time to inspect the flowers, Lance could be in danger." Keith grunted, crossing his arms over his chest and burrowing his eyebrows into a frown. Shiro stood up and turned around, his eyes panicked.

"It's not 'could' anymore Keith.." Shiro said sternly, holding something rather large out to Keith.

Lance's helmet.

Or rather, what remained of Lance's helmet. The visor looked like it had been hit. Hard. bits of Altean tech was strewn around, and more blood, but this time they knew who's it was. The helmet had a huge dent in one side, and some of it was snapped off, lying nearby on the floor.

"Jesus.." Keith mumbled, inspecting the helmet more closely, his brow hardening to one of anger.

He didn't know who did this, or why, but Keith was going to fucking kill them.

He took a hard breath. "We really have to keep going, he's in more danger now than before, judging by the strength of whoever- whatever he was up against." He voiced aloud.

Shiro only gave a grim nod, before turning back to the path of trampledness and carrying on. They walked quicker now, knowing that Lance was in serious trouble.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voices, there were definitely voices up ahead. Keith looked over to Shiro and he nodded, confirming that he could hear them as well. They walked further, but with more caution.

After a while they came across what seemed to be a cliff, Keith nearly fell off it but Shiro had caught him in time. The voices were definitely coming from down there.

Getting down onto his stomach, with Shiro gripping his legs rather tightly, he slowly scrambled over to the edge of the cliff. Looking out, he wanted to throw up.

The cliff seemed to curve around into a circle, with an entrance on the other end. Inside was what seemed to be a camp, it looked normal, he supposed. Woven houses made out of the long thin sticks.

The inhabitants didn't look too bad either, they were long, grey and slim.

But that wasn't what made Keith gag, and that wasn't what made him jump backwards, clamping a hand over his mouth, almost screaming.

Because right in the middle of the strange village was a small tree. It had no leaves or branches, and looked a lot like a pole.

And tied to that tree was Lance.

Lance, beaten and bloodied, covered in bruises and gashes.

Lance, who was usually friendly and obnoxious.

Lance, who's tears fell down his face as an alien with a sword swiped at his body, over and over and over and over.

Keith felt tears falling down his face at the sight. Shiro widened his eyes, not knowing what Keith had seen, what Keith wished he hadn't seen. He himself slowly army crawled to the edge of the cliff, and instantly backed off.

"We need to tell the others, right now." Shiro said sternly, grabbing Keith's wrist and dragging him back to where they came from, to the clearing.

"Come in? Come in?" Shiro practically yelled into his com.

"Shiro! Have you found Lance yet?" A too cheerful Pidge replied after a few seconds.

"Yeah, but it's bad. It's really bad." Shiro replied, his brow furrowing in anger and concentration.

"Bad? What do you mea-" Pidge was cut off as Keith entered the conversation.

"Bad as in Lance has been abducted and tortured." He snapped. He had to suppress another gag as his memory floated back to Lance, tied to a tree, helpless, no armour and being slashed with a sword.

"Jesus." Was all that Pidge said. "I'll tell the others." They said, switching the com off for a moment. A few seconds later the screaming of Hunk arrived.

"LANCE IS WHAT" Came the panicked yelp from the said man. "I HAVE TO GET THERE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM" He continued, taking a few breaths.

"We-" Shiro started, only to be cut off by Corran

"Was he there? Did you speak to him? Is he alright?" He chattered, his voice loud.

"I-" Shiro was cut off again as Hunk regained his breath.

"We'll be there soon! Probably! You have to get Lance before we get there so we can put him into a healing chamber right away!" The big man spoke, worry in his voice.

"Yeah-" Again, Shiro was cut off, this time by Allura.

"Hunk is right, Shiro and Keith must rescue Lance!" She agreed, determination in her voice.

Shiro chose to stay silent, raising an eyebrow, waiting for anyone else to speak.

"Well yes, that is-" He started, slapping a hand to his face when he was interrupted, again.

"I'll kill them all." Came the horse whisper from Keith.

"Keith.. I understand that you want to help Lance, but we need to think about this carefully."

"I'll kill them. All of them." Keith repeated, more ferociously this time.

For Lance.
