Eyes closed. mind focused. Breathe in and breathe out. Â ââStart training sequence level 3.â As they said it the words echoed within the confines of the training room. Then three Bots materialized. One with a whip and the other two with blasters. As they activated their bayard the bots whirred to life. Â They whipped their arm and the whip she held was now fully elongated hit metal with a satisfying crunch. âOne down two to goâ
They then heard a metallic whirring noise and instinctively rolled to the right, just barely missing the purple ball of energy that passed by Their  head. The youngest paladin sighed in frustration as she pulled herself up. They then grabbed their whip and swung at the nearest bot, But at the same time it swung its arm and their whips ended up tangled together. Pidge smirked as they pulled on the handle to their whip causing the surprisingly light bot to fly over their head and disintegrate nothingness. They turned to the last bot. The smallest paladin then swung their whip with a new found confidence but the bot dodged. They then took a moment to think and realized that the bot was on a set algorithm. They counted its steps. After taking a moment to memorise the pattern they turned and then ruined the pattern as they swung a millisecond after the second step. Catching it off guard. The whip went straight through. âTraining sequence overâ The palaceâs mechanical voice said. The green paladin turned around and looked up toward the balcony breathless and panting waiting for my teams response. The rest of the paladins just looked down in awe. Was it that bad ? They looked down at their feet.
âPidge that was⌠Amazingâ Shiro was the first to respond.
âYou really think so?â
âYes !â the whole team said. Well almost the whole team. Allura hadnât said anything. She just looked at them⌠and smiled. For some reason that was all the approval Pidge needed.

Pidge sighed looking up from their computer. Binary code was really getting boring. they suppose they could go see what coran was doing maybe he had some altean codes they could try to crack. The gremlin got up and exited their room. They looked down as they walk a sudden wave of nausea rushing over them that suddenly makes the floor tiles seem so interesting. They decided to count the tiles hoping that it could help clear their mind of the sudden dizziness. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.3- On the 34th tile theyâd counted they managed to walk into something,or rather someone. They fell and hit the ground.
âWatch where you're goingâ Keith shouted. Brow furrowed and eyes hazy and not completely there. Their face turned red from pure rage and never the one to back down from a challenge they hopped up and got in Keithâs face.
âyou should watch where you're going you jerkâ They screamed back shaking with another wave of an unknown emotion . Lance and Shiro had both exited their rooms and were watching knowing better than to interfere.
âWhat the fuck is so interesting about the damn floor anywayâ he growled out. His voice a low and angry rumble. All their anger washed out of them and was replaced with⌠with A feeling they could not quite identify. They felt tears run down their face And by now Allura and Coran had joined. Allura had a pained expression on her face as if the green paladinâs pain hurt her.
â I⌠I⌠just leave me ALONE !!! ALL OF YOU!!! NO ONE CARES DO YOU !!!â They screamed to everyone but no one at the same time. They turned and ran back to run into their room forgetting all about Altean codes.
Their words rang in her head constantly. Did they not see that she cared. She cared for all the Paladins. Yet she couldnât help but take Pidgeâs side on this.
â keith what did you do?â She said a blank expression on my face.
âShe bumped into me and⌠was just being annoying...â Keith groaned. He seemed disoriented and guilty despite what he'd said. âThen they flipped out over nothingâ She looked at Keith. He seemed genuinely upset. Lance looked toward his boyfriend, then held out his arms. Keith obliged and wrapped Lance in his arms. The altean smiled. They were so cute together. She wishes she could have that relationship with someone. She sighed.
âWell paladins perhaps some rest would do us some goodâ She  then walked into her room. One question heavy on everyone's mind.
Just a lil drabble I was working on. Keith has a reason to be an asshole dont worry. Feeling creative might continue later idk
