°•《☆3rd P. O. V.☆》•°
"I see the pod princess," Shiro announced; turning a sharp corner with the red lion and it's pilot following close behind.
"Holy shit!" Pidge shouted.
"Language, young lady," shiro scolded through the radio.
"Sorry, but the pod's distress signal has been running for half a year. She's been in there for six months," she exclaimed with fascination.
"The oxygen levels are also severely low. The gases in the storm are completely toxic. You'd better hurry," she continued. This worried them even more.
"Well isn't that just great," Keith grumbled to himself. The two lions landed near the pod. It was crashed into a large boulder with skid marks traced into the ground behind it. The pod was covered with dents and strange plants. Some parts were still intact, others could be miles away.
"Even though its crashed, the pod still seems to be completely sealed," Keith said stepping closer after exiting his lion. The gravity was low, making him feel much lighter.
"That's because it is. She must have been in hypersleep this entire time," Pidge explained with her eyes glued to the hologram screen in front of her.
"Hyper- what now?" Lance asked with a confused expression. Nothing else was to be expected from the lady killer.
"Hypersleep, it's like when animals hybernate but it's much deeper. Some think it's so deep that you don't even dream," she answered.
"Well thats not terrifying at all," Hunk stated with a drop of sweat on his brow.
"Will she wake up when we get her?" Keith asked while cutting down a few fines that stringes around the pod.
"I doubt it, if she's been sleeping for six months why would she wake up for you," Pidge snickered. The only response she got was an unamused sigh from Keith and intense wheezing from Lance.
"Shiro, I found the door," Keith announced, pulling back a few plants that hung in the way. Shiro turned with a proud smile.
"Nice work," he said after patting his shoulder. His arm glowed brightly and the door opened automatically. It sealed behind them before another door revealed what was behind it in the main deck of the pod.
The pod was small so it wasn't long before they saw the girl laying of the floor in front of them. She faced away from them on her side, the quiet echo of her breathing was the only sound that was heard along with strong whistling breezes outside.
"Go ahead and grab her. I'll shut down the distress signal," Shiro said stepping over the girl and over to the control panel. Keith knealed next to her. He pushed her over to face him and wrapped an oxygen mask around her head. His eyes widened, seeing the metal limbs that connected to her torso and the long, white hair flowing down her back and chest.
"Uh, Shiro?"
"What is it?" He glanced behind him but did a double take after seeing the robotic replacements. They both hesitated.
"Princess, are you seeing this?" Keith asked, confused on what they should do.
"Unfortunately, yes," she stopped and pondered, touching her finger to her chin. She clenched her fist lightly. "Carry on," her decision surprised the rest. They didn't expect it from someone who was so against the Galrha.
Keith nervously lifted her off the ground. She was a bit heavy, but that was to be expected of someone half metal.
He carried her back to the lion when Shiro was finished and set her down next to his chair. He glanced down at her figure every so often, taking in how pretty she really was. Keith sighed and flew back to the castle.
For once, I think I might agree with Lance, He thought with cheeks that were tinted just slightly pink.
°•《Gemini P.O.V.》•°
I opened my eyes slowly. When I did, I was surprised to see that I wasn't in the pod. What looked like blue glass lifted in front of me and I stepped out.
I was exausted and sore, which caused me to almost fall out of whatever I was in. I caught myself and looked around and noticed I was no longer in the black body suit and instead a white and blue one.
Behind me, I saw a white chamber of some sort, which closed and sank into a hole in the floor. I gasped lightly when a person fell on the ground after the chamber dissapeared. He grunted as his head hit the floor. Then he stood up, groaning and rubbing his head. His hair was a deep raven and his skin was olive. He was slightly taller than me and was skinny but still built with a bit of muscle. Not frightening at all, yet my hands were still shaking.
"Um, h-hello?" I asked with a raised brow, unsure if his intentions. He turned towards me and his eyes widened for a moment.
"Oh, your awake," he said. He seemed tired and annoyed. "I'm Keith and this is the altean castle. We picked up your distress signal and got you out of that escape pod. What's your name?"
"I don't know," I said, noticing that he obviously didn't trust me. Which was fitting, I didn't exactly trust him either. After what happened on the other ship, how was I supposed to know his intentions. I thought for a moment, realizing I had no other options. "You said there were others?"
"Yeah, follow me."
We walked for what seemed like forever in complete silence before we finally met a door that slid open as Keith approached it. Inside sat 4 others, a female with a pair of circular lenses that sat on her nose, a round male with an orange ribbon wrapped his head, and two other males. One with brown hair and tan skin and then another with a white fringe and a familiar looking arm.
After the door shut Keith announced my awakening. "She's up," he says before jumping over the large round couch and crossing his legs as he sat down. The man with a similar arm to mine stood up and walked over to me and reached his hand out.
"I'm glad you're up. My name's Shiro. What's yours?" He asked with a reassuring smile. I took a step back before hesitantly shaking his hand, which mirrored my own.
"I-I don't know," I answered, staring at his hand for probably too long. He crossed his arms.
"Well is there anything you can you think of that we could call you for now?" He asked with a friendly smile.
"Um, well-the guards and the crowds would call me 'Gemini' after fights," I said, still not fully comfortable.
"Fights?" The big one asked. I turned towards him with an emotionless expression. "Yes, I fought monsters to be tested on my strength and ability," I explained.
The tan one approached me and wrapped his arm around me. "Forgive me for interupting sweetheart, but do you have a first aid kit? I think I scraped my knee falling for you," he stated which was followed a grin and a wink.
Do it, one of the voices said as it seemed to have noticed my discomfort.
I quickly grabbed his head, pushed it down and thrusted my knee upward into his stomach. He started to bend over forward but I grabbed him by the ear and pulled him back up to my level.
"Sorry, but i'm not interested. And don't ever call me that again, understood?" I sneered and felt my eye twitch. He breathed out a 'Yes' with the little oxygen left in his lungs. I let him go and he immediately fell to the ground next to my feet.
I quickly gained back control, a wave of dizziness splashed into my head and I shook it in attempt to make it go away. I gasped seeing 'Lance' groaning in pain.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that, I swear. Are you okay?" I asked helping him up.
"Okay? Babe, I'm in love." I dropped him and looked up to see that everyone had taken a step back.
"Yeah, I'd say Gemini fits," the big one spoke up again with a voice crack.
