That's my paladin (Keith x reader)

2.6- Last fight

If I would tell my five-year-old self that I would be up in space with a space princess and a giant robot to save the world I think I would have laughed. But who wouldn't? Still, here I stand between Keith and Lance getting ready for our last fight. This might be the last time I had my suit on and my last time holding my bayard.

"I'll use the black lion to lure Zarkon's fleet to our current location and makes sure he's within the teludav's area of effect," Shiro said as we all looked at the hologram in front of him. "Keeping the teludav hidden behind the space-fold until the last possible second is essential."

Shiro looked down at the new alien to the team. "We can count on you, Slav?"

"Absolutely. I'll be fine" Slav answered but then looked a little bit unsure. "I'm not sure about the gravity generator, though."

Hunk looked a little confused. "What? What was that last thing?"

"Hiding a ship is one thing, but I've never had to build a gravity generator for something this large before. I know it'll work but I'm not sure for how long."

I sighed and crossed my arms before I spoke. "That's a risk we'll have to take"

Shiro nodded in agreement. "Once Zarkon's ship is in position, Kolivan and Antok will coordinate with Thace. Together, they'll take down Zarkon's security system and upload the virus."

"And then, he'll be a sitting du-flax," Pidge said in a cool voice while pushing her glasses up her nose.

We all gave her a confused look. She looked back at us with a confused looked. "What? A du-flax is an Altean creature with a beak and webbed feet"

From literally nowhere, Coran just jumped in like he was a flying horse and said. "We'll wormhole Zarkon 500 million light-years away, and he'll be in the Yggiz Galaxy before he knows what's hit him!"

Shiro looked at the Blades. "What about Thace?"

Kolivan had his common straight face on while answering the question. "He should be getting into position now. We received his last communication three quintants ago. We should hear from him soon"

Shiro looked back at the screen with a straight face. "Let's do it."

While the black lion flew away we all stood still in the control room having some serious tension between us all while no one was talking. I looked up beside me and saw Keith's serious face. I smiled a little but couldn't get it out of my mind that we both might be back at earth soon. He could meet my family, I could graduate and after spending more time with him. Maybe continue developing stronger feelings for each other.

We all got to our seats waiting for Shiro to contact us.

Soon, a screen popped up showing Shiro's face. "Zarkon took the bait. He's got my location. Is everybody in position?"

I looked over at Kolivan who had an emotionless face.

"We've not yet heard from Thace. He was supposed to contact us two vargas ago." Kolivan said and looked back at Antok.

Antok who still had his mask on continued Kolivans sentence. "He could've been captured."

"Or killed. We need to abort the mission immediately."

No. This could not be happening. We were so close to ending this war and we were gonna give up now?" I stood up and said loudly. "Abort? What we can't do that?"

Antok turned his head to me. "The blade of Marmora does not take chances. It's how we survived for so long"

They promised me, we had a stupid deal and now they were gonna break it because they couldn't take the chances. I looked at them seriously. "That's why held you back for so long. This is why Zarkon is still in power."
