The mission had failed. Keith was on his way back to the blade of marmora but he couldn’t leave Regris behind. He was about 15 minutes out from the base when an alert came through the ships communication system, Regris was being auctioned off. Keith came up with a plan, the only problem is he didn’t have the money for said plan.
He was running out of time and the only thing he could think of was to steal money from allura, he would pay her back of course but right now he didn’t have the time to spend arguing over it. Keith flew to the castle of lions and entered without being noticed. He entered the code to the vault, he took just enough that hopefully would go unmatched.
Keith wasted no time heading to the auction. Once he arrived he saw Regris chained to the floor along with a few other prisoners. Regris looked beaten, he was bleeding, his legs shook violently beneath him and his eyes where glossy like he’d been crying.
The first auction was for an Olkari, the second auction was a breed of alien Keith was unfamiliar with. Next up was Regris, the first bid came in and to Keith’s surprise it was a lot higher than he thought it would be for a galra. Keith managed to win the auction for Regris and went to pay the aliens that where running it when the other paladins swooped in with there bayards.
After they where safely back on the castle of lions allura let rip at Keith for being reckless and for stealing. She of course understood why he took it but she couldn’t understand why he didn’t just ask for help.
What a way to spend his birthday, trying to buy back his friend. This was to say the least a very unusual birthday.
