Forget all at the shooting stars and all the silver moons

Chapter 3

"I NEED HELP. PIDGE? HUNK? SHIRO? ALLURA? ANYONE PLEASE."

Keith was freaking out. Lance had been shot and he was bleeding badly. He had lost signal on his helmet and Lance was growing weaker by the minute. He carried him on his back trying to find a way out.

"I NEED HELP!!! PIDGE!!!! HUNK!!!!" He repeated.

No one answered.

Keith started to get desperate.

"Please. Please." He pleaded. His voice cracking.

Keith felt a tug at the back of his head. It was Lance, weakly stroking the back of his mullet.

"S.....st...u...pid mull....et." He said softly. His voice was so quiet that Keith had barely heard it.

Keith sighed in relief. Up to now Lance hadn't been conscious since he was hit.

"Hang on okay Lance. Stay with me."

Lance didn't answer. Keith kept running around the Galra ship hoping he wouldn't run into anything that would try to kill them.

"Lance please talk to me. Remember the bonding moment?"

There was silence for a minute but Lance spoke again.

"N.....ever h-ha....ppened." He responded breathing slowly.

Keith's POV
I won't let you die Lance. I'll find a way out of here I swear on my life.

Just then he heard a voice and it wasn't Lance.

"KEITH! Are you okay? Where are you?Where's Lance? We can't get a hold of him." It was Pidge talking through his helmet.

"PIDGE THANK GOD! LANCE IS WITH ME. WE NEED HELP NOW! LANCE IS BLEEDING OUT!"

"Where are you?"

"I have no fucking clue."

"We're tracking you down right now. We're coming to get you just hold on tight okay?"

"HURRY PLEASE."

Just before he could finish his sentence he was spotted. They started to shoot at him but Keith moved quickly and took cover behind a wall, Lance still holding on to him. He carefully took Lance off his back and placed him gently against the wall.

"THIS CANT BE FUCKING HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!"

He grabbed his gun and started shootings but more and more came. He was out numbered. There was no way he could defeat everyone by himself and he needed to protect Lance at the same time.

Keith's POV
WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO? Pidge is on her way I just need to hold them off for a bit longer. I can do this. Do it for Lance. Do it for him.

"KEITH IM HERE! I'm coming in. There's no way to get in so we're going to have to blow a part of the ship."

"NO PIDGE! We don't know what part of the ship were on. If you do that your risking hitting us too."

"Then what are we supposed to do?"

"SHIT! SHIT! FUCK! Just give me a minute I'll come up with something."

Keith's POV
Think you idiot think. There's no exits. I can't see any. Unless... no that could get us both killed but that's the only way.

"Pidge I have a plan. The ship has emergency exit door censors but they will only activate if the ship's carbon dioxide level is too high. I need you to stand back. I'll cause a gas leak which will open the exit doors. I need you to come get us as soon as they open."

"KEITH ARE YOU INSANE. YOU HAVE GALRA SHOOTING AT YOU FROM EVERYWHERE. DO YOU THINK ITS NOT GOING TO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. IF THAT DOESNT KILL YOU THEN THE GAS WILL IF YOU DONT GET OUT QUICKLY ENOUGH."

"Lance is dying. We don't have much time."

Lance thought hard for a moment but couldn't come up with any other plan at the moment.

"Fine. Don't screw this up. I'll be right here."

"Copy that."

Keith turned to Lance who at the moment had his eyes closed but he could still see him breathing.

Keith's POV
I'm not letting you breath in the air.

Keith took of his armor then his shirt. He placed the armor back on and used the shirt to prevent Lance from breathing in the toxic gas.

"You'll be okay I promise." He said

He covered his mouth with his left hand and with his right he shot the gas pipe coming through the hallway. The air immediately filled up with the horrid stench. The emergency exits opened and Keith could see a clear view of the green lion.

Keith acted quickly. He grabbed Lance and started running towards the exit. One of the Galra saw him run out and without thinking he took a shot at both boys.

This caused an explosion. Keith had ran quick enough to jump out the ship and Pidge had flied quick enough to catch them.

Pidge flew as far as possible from the explosion hopping it wouldn't hit the lion. They flew off and soon enough Keith could only see starts out the window.

Keith now inside the lion looked over at Lance. He wasn't breathing.

"NO SHIT NO. LANCE. LANCE! WAKE UO LANCE. ANSWER ME DAMMIT."

Lance wouldn't breath. Keith panicked and started performing mouth-to-mouth breathing.

"COME ON LANCE. PIDGE GET US TO THE CASTLE NOW."

"IM GOING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE KEITH."

"ITS NOT ENOUGH." He yelled starting to cry.

He kept pressing on Lances chest. Finally Lance responded, he took a big breath in and was barely able to open his eyes.

"K.......ei......th?"

"YES LANCE ITS ME. BREATH WERE ALMOST THERE. JUST HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER. PLEASE LANCE DONT GIVE UP."

Lance didn't respond but he very slowly reached his hand to Keith's and held it tightly.
