The video started out facing the ceiling of the blue lion. Keith quickly noticed the crackling of the recorder and how it was blacking out a few times, before it went stable and the recorder moved. Keith's heart clenched in remorse as Lance's cut up face came into view. His eyes were wide as he poked the recorder.

"What's this..?" Lance questioned as he picked the recorder up and moved it between his fingers.

When though Keith felt so guilty of what Lance was facing with in the video, but a little voice in the back of his head just chuckled at the fact that Lance hadn't listen to what his lion contained.

In the background of the video, the sound crackling was heard, making the blue paladin's head turn. Hands flew up and the recorder fell onto ground, followed by a strangled scream from Lance, however, the video ended, cutting off Lance's scream. Keith's heart stopped, his body stiffened as he felt his blood run cold. The fact the his boyfriend had screamed troubled Keith. Never has he heard such a sad sound come from Lance. Yet what could have possibly happened that made Lance scream? Now deeply concerned for his boyfriend and afraid of what the other video held, Keith moved onto the next video.

The video started off with a clouded sky that was sickly green and what seemed to be bird-like creatures flying around. The angle moved to show Lance. Keith's heart nearly broke and he felt himself fighting to choke back a sob.

"I don't know how I'm still alive...." An unnatural, raspy and deep voice came from Lance, who seemed to be outside of his lion and was leaned against Blue's large leg.

Lance was merely skin and bones, a sight that made Keith's eyes water. But Keith continued to watch and through his teary eyes, he could see a long gash on Lance's right cheek. Lance had attempted to conceal it with whatever he had, but with no luck. The wound was obviously infected. A raspy chuckle came from Lance, his lifeless eyes shifting towards the recorder. God, Lance sound so weak and it killed Keith to see him like this. Lance shifted in his spot, his eyes moving towards his lion. Pain and hope flashed in his eyes as he did.

"Hey... Blue, get up," Lance said quietly, his hand gently moving against Blue's leg, "I need to get home... please."

The screen shifted as Lance had dropped the recorder, yet Keith could still see Lance.

"Blue, listen to me..." Keith could hear the sob in Lance's voice, "we have to go back... I need you to move... please for me.."

The screen went black and Keith used the palm of his hand to wipe the start tears that had managed to run down his cheeks. It hurt Keith to see such a thing happen to the one person he loved. He hung his head for a moment, wiping the next wave of stray tears that were falling. If the next video was like this one, Keith really didn't know if he could take it. His heart was in pain and he mind was focused on Lance. He knew Lance was in pain, it was like he could feel it. It took a moment for Keith to gather himself again and he turned his attention to the laptop's screen again and clicked to the next video.

A creatures face was the thing to pop up in the video, in which Keith's heart raced at what might happen. However, as he saw that the creature looked similar to the snail people back in Allura's planet, Keith calmed himself.

The creature spoke in an alien language, talking to the others it was with, Keith could hear Lance somewhere in the video, who was making seemingly nervous sounds in the background. A moment went by and the recorder screen moved and Keith grew relieved to see that Lance was stuffing his face with the food that one of the creature was giving him. Keith couldn't help but to smile as Lance asked for more. Keith could almost see Lance's hope for life and for his team come back as he eat.

"It's been days since I last ate..." Lance looked at the recorder, "I'm glad these guys are friendly."

A little creature came into view and began to reach out for the recorder, which surprised Lance and Lance quickly pulled it away, ending the recording in the process.

Keith, at this point was happy that Lance was being helped by the natives of the planet. With a good feeling in his heart, he watched a few more recordings, all videos were taken with the creatures, which Lance nicknamed Gente Caracoles or Snail People as Keith had translated. Spanish lessons from Lance was paying off. As videos went on, Keith could tell Lance grew attached to the Gente's and would notice him speaking in the alien tongue. Lance would sometimes get his tongue in a twist and would say the wrong words, and in result, the Gentes would tease him, but then correct him. Keith smiled at how friendly Lance was to this species. He noticed that Lance, the moment he had met the Gentes had already adapted to their lifestyle. And so quickly to. Lance never ceased to amaze Keith. Maybe Lance felt more at home with the Gentes than he ever will with his team mates. Keith couldn't help but to feel a little jealous, but he knew Lance would not forget his role in this war they were fighting. Keith continued to move from video to video, watching as his boyfriend learn many new tricks and words of the alien language, but as Keith continued to watch the videos, he soon came to the last one.

The video started abruptly, followed by the sounds of Galra blasters. The recorder laid on the ground, only able to get the legs of those who past. Keith watched as a pair of white and blue legs came into view, followed by the little bodies of Gente's as they ran past. Lance was calling to them in their language as he stood facing the Galra soldiers that fell into frame. The sound of the Galra's blasters made Keith's heart beat faster as he grew worried. Lance's own weapon firing as well, with Galra's soldiers falling onto the floor as they were hit.

Keith couldn't see what exactly happened, but Lance gave a loud shriek and fell onto the ground, before he briskly moved his gun to try to shoot the remaining soldiers, but he was too slow. A soldier kicked the gun from Lance's hands and they surrounded the blue paladin, their blasters aimed.

"No... stop!"

Keith couldn't moved his hands to stop the video and he couldn't take his eyes away.

"Plea-"

A blaster went off and so did the video.
