a common enemy (Shiro x male!Reader)

The fall of an empire

"We must not give up! fire a barrage!" i said, with little hope remaining in my voice, as the galra empire came closer. "Prince (y/n)! our cannons are disabled! we're defenseless!" I growled with anger, This couldnt be it! I was so well prepared for this moment! A call from their vicious reader: Zarkon, came. "Your kind may prove to be useful, i will let you live if you live the rest of your insignificant little lives working for us, refuse my offer and i will blow this planet to pieces" i looked at the tyrant in fear, amusement in his eyes, this creature truly has no soul. Hesitantly, i spoke: "we surrender..." everyone looked at me for guidance, i couldnt bear looking at them, our empire had fallen, and i, as the leader, would never see my friends again.

the ships landed, even from so high up in my tower, i could still see the fear of my people, i couldnt help but cry, i tried to be strong this entire time, but what could i do now? i wasnt their leader anymore, my empire, my family, everything is taken away from me. all i can do is pray, pray that someday my people will be freed. I wish i wouldnt give myself false hope...

the galras came to the top of my tower. "i will fight to the death if it means protecting prince- "nimtri." i interrupted her. "i surrendered, if you fight now your death will be in vain, im going with them" nimtri looked at me with the most horrified expression on her face i had ever seen. i looked away from her and wiped my tears, i couldnt show weakness to her. "i'm sorry, i'm not strong enough to protect you guys, be stronger than me, and persist their harsh treatments" i spoke my final words before going into the elevator and going down with the guards. I could see our star from out the window. How could something so horrible as this happen on such a beatiful day?

the elevator reached the bottom floor, i felt broken, seeing everyone frantically running away, no hope of being saved. i was escorted to the ship, before i turned around and said one final thing: "I WILL RETURN!" before the guards pushed me inside, the last ray of natural light dissapeared, and a creepy atmosphere filled the halls as the purple lights lit the floor. i walked for what seemed like forever, until i was at the front of the ship. a galra standing before me, a cocky grin on his face. "So, the mighty war stategist (y/n) captured by us? pathetic, isnt it?"i was filled with rage, but needed to restrain myself. I just stayed silent. "take him to his cell, and treat him like every other prisoner here, garbage" I was pulled away quickly, and after another long walk, i was roughly thrown in my cell. The door quickly closed behind me, and the darkness took over. Nothing but a dim purple light lit the room, and i was completely alone.
