For anyone who hasn’t already read this. I had to move it over to a new tumblr account because of complications. I am sorry for anything inconvenience. it wont happen again. 

 Lance woke up with a fog over his head. He felt his body sway as he sat up from his messy bed. The world felt like it turned on its axis. He felt his body falling to the ground, and landed on the ground with a loud thump. The world came in and out with black spots.

After servile seconds  of laying on the ground he finally came around with a pounding headache. He slowly lifted his body with a soft groan, as he felt his body ache all over.” M’I must have hit my head pretty hard to see spots.” He looked over at the bed with a frown. “Must have tripped.”

After a few more minutes of sitting on the floor trying to figure out why he tripped, and to get the rest of the dizziness away. He finally lifted himself up and got changed for the days activities. He pulls his favorite blue and white long sleeve shirt. Lance briskly pulled his pants and shoes on and scurried out the door and into the hallway.

~~~~~~~~

When Lance sprinted in the door while letting his lanky body slide in the door. “Don’t worry the most…” his throat immediately dried up, and his make a choking sound for a moment before hastily tugging his shoulder to his mouth and coughing a couple of times, before going back to his speak,” as I was saying, don’t worry I have arrived you can con go back to doing whatever you like!” He spoke in an overly expressive voice and face.When he finished flapping his hands back and forth and looked at the faces staring at him with varying  expressions across their faces.

Allura looked annoyed with the whole ordeal, while tapping her delicate long finger on the table. Her other hand crossed over embracing  her should staring daggers into Lances being.

Shiro carried to look of concern. His eyebrows knitted together as his lips pulled down. His body angled looked like he was about to dart over to check him over, but as he was Lance brought himself back up quickly with a quirky smile. Shiro’s face morphed into something more into disappointed dad look, and went to get Allura attention to continue their conversation.

Pidge and Keith shared about the same expression. Both lifting their head barely up and watching the show unfold with slight glares. Pidge was so busy on working on her new invention to really be able to watch the show. Keith only seemed to mostly be focusing on his food Goo as if was going to dance or somethings. But another emotion that Lance couldn’t quite identify was trying to  escape the raven haired man's features.

Hunk was the only one who seemed to be really worried, as he walked over to Lance and placed his large hand on the slender man's shoulder. “ hey buddy, are you doing alright?” He asked while he started reach for Lance’s face.

Lance quickly jerked his body back slinking away to the table. “Yeah never better man!” he said with a slightly higher voice as it cracked at the end of it. “Just choked on my sweet words,” he swiftly slid into his seat right next to Keith and started messing with his food, and talking animatedly.

Allura shook her head happy that is finally calmed down. “Well now that all that is over. We need to get down to business. We have a diplomatic mission. Lucky it is nothing dangerous. Shiro and I will be going to into the conference room. While the rest of you will need to talk to the people, get to know them. These people are hard to gather trust. If they do not trust us it is unlikely they will join the coalition, and they would be a great asset to our fight with the Garla. They have many resources for the castle ship and the rebellion . They also have high technology. That could help  make us stronger.” she then smiled and got up. “ You better get ready as soon as you get  done eating. We will be there in about five Vargas ” Allura finished while walking out the door to prepare for the landing.

Lance managed to pull one of his best smile and made them all  forget anything had even happen when he walked in earlier as they all ate their breakfast in peace. Though as it went on Lance could feel his body start to ache and silently moan with each passing minute.

Keith got there just in time to see lance fall right one his ass. His heart at that moment launched itself right into his throat with such panic he started the hurdle himself down the 15 foot drop off into the arena He didn't get very far as Hunk grabbed him around the waste holding him down. Keith glared at Hunk, but quickly turned his focus back to Lance just in time to see him scramble on all fours away from his opponent. He could see how pale Lance was and the sweet the fell from his body. He could tell he didn’t look good. 

Hunk the spoke softly holding Keith close. “I know man, I want to go down there and help him too, but we first need to find Shiro and Allura to see what’s going on. Now I’m going to let you go and we need to hurry.” he calmly released the red paladin and nodded to each other taking off in the crowd with Pidge on their tail.

Keith could feel him body get drug through the crowd and every time he heard a gasp from the crowd he would try to stop to look, but the unstoppable force that was Hunk kept him going until they saw two familiar faces.

“Shiro! what the hell is going on?” Keith could hear Hunk yell in front of him. And for a moment Keith could only think in shock. ‘I didn’t know Hunk could Curse.’

Shiro immediately turned around to look at the team coming over and his tense face relaxed for a moment. Then rushed over to meet them half way. “Hey guys, sorry you have to find out like this. It happened so fast…” He started to explain before they heard a loud clang and a strangled scream that sounded more like choking. Everyone's attention yanked over to the arena to see Lance on the ground for a moment before mouthing something and pulling himself up and rushing away. He quickly got his footing and turned around for an attack.

Seeing that he seemed to be doing fine at the moment. Shiro quickly explained the situation to the others on what was going on. Keith rage seem to show more and more on his face. He was about ready to explode and go hunt Lance down to either put him in bed and nourish him, or be the one in there to pummel him.

Hunk shook with worry. He didn’t want to see his best friend go through this. “Is there nothing we can do? Lance cant be the only one fight. What if he gets hurt! Or worse killed.” with each word Hunk spoke his panic grew more and more.

“Hunk you have to calm down. We have to trust him. He wanted to do this. Allura and I tried talk him out of it. But he didn’t want to hear any of it. But if it does get to fair out of hand then we will pull him out not matter the alliance.” Shiro spoke sternly he wanted to trust lance but he was worried about the boy and could tell everyone else was just as worried.

They all seemed to move their eyes and glue it to the Blue Paladin who seem to struggle. Doing his best to win the fight.

Lance was rolling on the ground while staring down the tall green alien trying to keep his eyes in focus. The alien was a lot taller and stronger that Lance so he was doing his best to outwit him, but his brain was foggy and his body ached feeling like it was on fire and stone cold at the same time. He was struggling to keep a coherent thought.  Then came another strike to his body and he barely got his shield up in time to block the blow, but he could still feel it go through his body. then making another attempt to get up and roll away. He was starting to think this wasn’t a good idea feeling much heavier than before.

 He looked around seeing an upturned floor slab.getting and idea Lance  took a mad sprint feeling his opponent on his tail. He then jumped and slid to the rock, swiftly grabbing the large slab throwing it at him in an ungraceful manor. luckily it hit the alien in the head and he stumbled back causing a distraction for Lance to quickly grab his the gun aiming it that the alien. “Sorry.” he whispered but it was as loud as he could get his voice to go. Then as got his single shot ready to shoot. unfortunately the alien got his bearings back to chucked his his knife at Lance hitting him in the shoulder, and he grunted then took his shot hitting him fight in the upper thigh and grabbed his knife and rushed the man. He quickly shoved the shield and body into the alien blocking him from doing anything else before he placed the knife to his neck. Leaning forward so he was basically laying on him he whispered “ I won't kill you… please… just stop.” He breathed heavily barely able to get the words out. While pushing the weapon close to the others neck.

“Enough!” a loud booming voice came from outside the ring.

Lance barely had the strength to look up to see who made him stop. He wouldn’t admit it, but he was so grateful. His head was throbbing, everything thing hurt, and not just from the stab wound, and on top of that everything felt like he was in a dark tunnel barely able to see through.

The leader of the N’vean people stood up looking around. “Stand back blue paladin, you have won and earned yourself.” he said calmly giving him a polite nod.

Just a shout out to my 600 followers. I haven't been on much recently, but I owe you guys. So here is small sick Lance that just came to me. Hope you guys like it 😘

Lance was quickly set with a pair of armor. Lance struggled getting the armor on. his body felt tight and strained as he pulled it over. While Lance struggled the leader was letting everyone around the kingdom know about the upcoming fight. 

“Lance, when we wanted you to be apart of this diplomatic mission. That did not mean pick a fight with the Leader of the first planet we land on just to get the resources we need. Your suppose to learn to negotiate with them…” Allura sighed hard. She kept her arms folded, looking slightly disappointed.

Shiro also chimed in bring his  own thoughts in. “plus we can all tell your not feeling well you can barely keep focused during the meeting. You shouldn't be exerting yourself so much.” he worry cover over his face. He seemed to want to giver comfort and pull Lance away from this, but know how to go about it to make matters worse now. 

Lance took a long breath in. He was trying to settle his nerves and keep his clouded mind at bay. And looked at both the leaders. He didn't even feel like cracking much of a joke. He knew he had to ease their worry somehow though. Swiftly rubbing his hand in his dark short hair he looked up and spoke. “look. I know your worried, but you guys wasn't getting anywhere with the stiff over there…” he let out a weak cough knowing it wasn't helping his argument and know his voice was getting worse by the minute. “... And it is just easier to just get it done with quickly. And after all this I promise I'll go back to the castle to get some sleep. And maybe some space soup and tea.” He shoved his best smile he could on his narrow face. “plus, I'm Lance the best sharpshooter paladin and could win any battle and women's hearts. In fact. “ he rose his eyebrows quickly wiggling them”you can give me a kiss if I win.”

Allura groaned and shook her head, but Lance could see her lips crack up slightly. “ no thank you, Lance, just make it out of his alive and well.” he nodded at her not quite trusting his voice at the moment.

A pale green aliens stuck their head in the door. “are you ready blue Paladin? “ he seemed to be one of the ones that was helping to organizing the whole thing.

Lance nodded and started to follow the tall alien out the door. But quickly turned around and gave the others finger guns. “wish me luck out there!” blowing a kiss he rushed away to leave.

Lance swiftly made his way to the arena. Entering it, he stumbling for a moment, just barely able to get his footing before falling flat on his face. He then made his way to the center, and stood there looking at around observing all the people that got seated so quickly that was also gazing down at him.

The brightly colored aliens seemed to look down as him. He felt his body sweat. And ache. His throat to dry and scratched to get his voice out. But he just hoped he could do this. He had to do this. He just wanted to prove himself to Allura and Shiro. Show them that he was worthy to be a paladin, even when he was feeling worse for wear. He couldn’t let sniffles take him down so easily. Then his opponent walked into the stadium raising his arms taking the his peoples cheers became loud mighty roars all around his causing his ears to ring.

“People of N’veah. We are here to get the chance to see the blue paladin earn honor for his people. So we may join them in the fight against Zarkon. We are a great people. And if we are to fight with them. They have to prove that they will fight with us as well, and to make sure they are strong enough. As everyone knows, but i will give the info for the newcomers, Each opponent  is given the least amount of weaponry, a pistol with one bullet, a small jagged dagger, and a shield. They must kill or make the opponent incapable of fighting. it is up to them on how it will happen...” The leader gave a large speech keeping his hands wide open as everyone watched ready for the battle.

While the leader was speaking Lance was watching his opponent. It was a tall a N’vean. Their skin was brighter than most that it was almost a bright green. They had all of their weapons attached to a belt that was across their body.  The Green alien wore the same armor as lance had on. Except it was gold where Lances was blue. They both had a chest plate, and some light metal over their arms and legs.

“Are you two ready?!” the leader's voice boomed into the stadium causing Lance to jump slightly. Lance nodded to the leader swiftly seeing the other do the same. “If you are ready. Then let's begin!”  

Earlier

Lance tried to focus on what was going on. He could tell these people didn't trust them. They were countering everything Allura and Shiro was asking. So Lance took a deep breath to focus his energy into the listen to everything everyone was saying and spoke with all calm authority he could muster. “so if you are saying, your majest…” he coughed as his voice caught  into his throat “sorry, your majesty. if you are saying no to all of our requests. And you seem to not even trust us. And don't deny it, I see it in your face. And that's not where I'm going with it. What can we do to make you trust us?”

The leader looked at Lance intently as the whole room became quiet and staring at the young paladin. “well you do not know our ways, culture and would leave without a care about who you are protecting. And would you really protect us without not knowing anything about us? Without caring about us. Because you have no attachments to us. You have no honor here.” he said coldly as he stared at Lance.

Lance stood up as if to call his challenge. “one it doesn't matter who you we are defenders of the universe. We will…”  lance quickly let out a weak cough and could feel Allura and Shiro’s worried glances. But quickly straightened up with more confidence. “we will protect any and every planet from Zarkons rule. But if there is someway to show your honor and loyalty. Without costing us a lot of time. Because no offense but I want to save as many people as I can. But if the only way is time then by all means. I myself is willing to help. Cause we would like your help as well”

The ruler just stared at lance for a while. Then let their face soften slightly. “If you think that strongly about it. Why don't you take part in our Jay’niff A’tak. It is a battle of honor. If you win then there will be a lot more to considerate on this coalition, and will work on probably helping the battle against the Garla. But that is only if you win” The Leader spoke strongly.

“I’ll do..”

“He won’t do it!” Allura and Shiro yelled in unison.

The leader only raised his hand up to silent them. “If you want to get help. Then he must partake in this battle. He is willing to do anything for this. And if you are to he will be the one to answer my request.”  The Leader stood tall as he motioned back to lance.

Lance felt his body feel a full body shake. That was not just from the fear of battle. He quickly gave his leaders a smile and happy boastful nod hastily turning to the N’vaen leader. “I would be honored to take part of the battle. To show my honor, and trust.” he said as he gave a playful tone at the last few words.
