Written in the Stars

New amour

Luckily we didn't need a distraction because Red provided us with one by flying overhead and causing a muck. Shiro, hunk and Lance scrambler up and dash to their lions while no ones looking. Pidge runs off as green erupts out of the trees.

Good girl I say as she purrs in my head. Because everything was focused on Red I couldn't get to her, so instead I sneak around to what looks like their stash of treasure, and start stuffing my pockets with coins and gems. The other lions growl as they stand up.

Because of that the attention on Red divides and most of them run to stop the others. Running towards red I forget to watch my feet and trip over a stray Vine and fall on my shoulder. Black clouds my vision as the pain overlaps me Red roars and for a second it sound so faint that I don't even know if it's real. blinking away tears I push up with my good hand and stumble over to Red hoping inside.

"Okay guys it time to go." Shiro says over the com. We all fly up to the sky, and back to the ship.
  
"Thanks for the save back there guys." Shiro says once we are all out and together back at the castle. i hang back from the group, looking for a chance to escape.

"Keith you look pale, are you feeling alright?" Hunk asked concerned.

"Yeah fine." I reply clutching my stomach. In fact, ever since I had tripped my stomach had been doing back-flips and my shoulder had been killing me. literally. dark patches where starting to form on my shirt.

"Maybe you should go lay down, you don't look so good." Shiro suggest and I shake my head.

"Nah, I'll be fine soon." Then Allura and Coran walk in and Pidge walks up next to me.

"what did you do?" she whispers and i lean down a little so that we can walks privetly.

"fell over a vine and landed on my shoulder" her eyes flicker to the shoulder. frowning she spots the darker patches almost instantly. over her shoulder i see Lance watching us with a sad look in his eyes.

"you should-" she doesn't get to finish the sentence, which i an grateful for.

"Good rescue mission guys. So how exactly did you three managed to get captured?" Hunk looks to Lance, Lance looks to Shiro and he sighs.

"They took us by surprise, the have this type of camouflage skin that allows the to blend in with the surroundings."

"camo skin?" Coran asked. "yes i remember reading about a species that could do that."

"it's sound cool." Pidge catches on.

"that's what i said!" Lance's sad look from before is replaced with a smile. "imagine if we could do that" pulling some ninja moves he pretends to hide behind Hunk.

"So what did you four get up to while we where away?" Lances takes off his helmet and his hair sticks out on all different angles, it's kinda cute. looking away i catch myself staring and try to hide the blush.

"Well I ducked down to the portal generator and figured a way to fix it." Coran says gleefully.

"That's great news." Pidge says happily and hunk gives her a weird look.

"Weren't you with him?" Freezing Pidge turns and pleading looks at me. 

"No, we where arguing about witch hat looked better on Pidge, and of course Allura won." Her pleading look turns into a dreadful glare.

"Well I'm going to go do some training, anyone want to come with?" Shiro asked and red growls in my head.

Don't you dare. You need to rest and get the princess to look at that shoulder.

"Sure I'll go." Lance and Pidge say at the same time.

"Nah, I'm going to go and raid the kitchen. What about you Keith?" Red growls warningly.

"Nah, I good. Anyway I need Allura to help me with something." They give me concerned looks.
  
"Are you sure that your feeling alright Keith?" Shiro uses that soft voice that just makes you want to spill all of you secrets.

"Yeah, just fine." Looking unconvinced they walk past me each going me different looks.

"Princess, the planet that we need to go to, to fix the portal spears isn't that far away." Allura gives me a worried look.

"Good, set a course to go there." Coran nods then pauses.

"Didn't you say that you had something for the paladins?" Allura turns surprised.

"Yes I do, meet me in the training room Keith." Nodding I turn and walk away. Looks like I will just have to stick this one out on my own. So trying to ignore my painfully throbbing shoulder I walk to the training room. I sit down along the edge before I collapse from pain and watch them sparing. "Oh, hey Keith! Wanna go?" Again red growls in my head and Pidge death glares me.

"Nah thanks. I'm good." Lance looks at me concerned. But before he can say or do anything about it Allura bounces in the room.

"Paladins, I have something for you." Pidge and Shiro stop fighting and Hunk slips into the room.

 "New amour." Coran walks in carrying different colored amour and places them down in a pile." Just recently I have realized that your old amour does not protect you enough." She pointedly looks at me while saying this.

"Wow, this is so cool!" Pidge is the first to fish out her new green amour. It didn't actually look all that different, in fact the only different I could notice was the new techno look to it. "This technology is so advanced." While Pidge geeks over the technology the rest of the team minus me grab their amour.

"Keith are you sure your feeling alright?" Shiro walks over to me worriedly.

"Yeah just handy dandy." I stand up to prove my point and all the blood rushes to my head causing everything to go black the really bright. Gulping down the pain I stagger forwards the ground swaying under my feet. Someone's talking but the harder I listen the harder it becomes to hear. Things start to go double and black spots appear. I make it a few more feet before my legs fail me and I collapse into someone's arms everything going black.
