While being dragged down the long hallways leading to the chambers, as Ajax liked to call it, Shiro and the red Paladin began to wrestle vigorously with Ajax's men to hopefully set themselves free. However, they failed to realize that doing such a thing would tire them out and cause them to lose their strength momentarily. A few sweat drops began rolling down their faces as they were about to be thrown into their cells.
"Let us go!!" Keith shouted before he got thrown into the cold, metal cell along with his leader. As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately got back up to his feet and sprinted for the door. But as luck would have it, it automatically closed on him, leaving him and Shiro trapped inside.
"Ugh!!! We should have never let her take us here! This is all her fault! She's the reason why we're here!" Keith ranted while his leader slowly got up from the floor, with his calm demeanor.
"I told you! I've been saying it this whole time! She. Is not to be. Trusted!!" He yelled in Shiro's face.
"Keith-"
"I don't even know why I agreed to this?!" Keith questioned.
"Keith.-" Shiro said sternly.
"We're never getting out of here!" The red Paladin exclaimed.
"Keith!" Shiro yelled, immediately shutting the violet-eyed male up.
"Patience yields focus. Calm down." He instructed while placing his hand on top his shoulder.
The red Paladin's face, twisted into a clear expression of anger, slowly resorted to becoming calm and lackluster. Keith closed his eyes in order to ease himself further from anger. He breathed in a deep breath and slowly but surely released it to calm his nerves.
"Better?" Shiro questioned.
Keith sighed and opened his eyes,
"Slightly. How are we going to get out of here?" He asked.
Shiro's soft smile soon fell from his face and he looked longingly at the metal door, now restricting them to the outside world. He then scanned the whole room to try and find a way to escape the opposing cell. But it all felt so familiar to him...as if he was here before. Suddenly his mind went back to the time he spent with the Galra. Bits and pieces of his memory from that time span came flooding back to him all in one moment, causing him to space out with a petrified look on his face.

In the meanwhile, (Y/n) was thrown into a specialized containment area, which was surrounded only by a cold, dark and eerie room. As soon as she hit the floor in the specialized containment, a yellow electric wall, per say, emitted itself from the ground, in a circular form, encasing the girl inside without any means of escape.
"Ajax! What the hell! C'mon what is this really all about? Why track me down after I left you, two full years ago?" The enclosed female questioned the being's true motives.
At first, he gave her the cold shoulder, not answering her questions and becoming quiet every time she spoke up to say something.
"Ajax...C'mon, you know that keeping me held here makes no sense. In fact, it only endangers you and your crew significantly, so why keep me here?" (Y/n) asked, prompting the being to finally face her. He stared at her intently with his inky, black eyes...then turned away.
"Do you even know what's at stake if you get captured by the Galra again?" Ajax vaguely eluded too. This statement promptly made the girl confused, she already knew what was at stake, so why would he be asking her this? He turned his head over his shoulder to see her reaction and as such predicted correctly with how she would respond,
"If you get caught again by the Galra, they will be able to manipulate you and turn you into a weapon to their own advantage.-"
