I know this is my third time drawing fanart, but I couldn’t stop myself. I was very inspired to draw this moment. So, here’s the hug from the reunion. That chapter was so freaking good.
Keith was sent on a lone mission to an abandoned galra ship. The mission had been doomed from the very beginning, there had been drones waiting at the base for him. Keith quickly realised that something was wrong, the ship harboured only drones. That’s when he smelt it … fire. Before he could even register what was happening the fire was surrounding him, he quickly Egan running trying to find an exit.
He felt like he was running in circles. He turned corner after corner but still no exit. Finally the fire caught up with him. He was surrounded by fire with no chance of escape. Keith’s situation became a lot worse when a pice of metal fell from the ceiling trapping Keith between it and the floor.
The fire grew closer and Keith could feel the heat on his skin. His mind running wild. This was how it ended for him, trapped with no escape and all alone. His skin started bubbling as the fire crept up his skin. The pain was almost unbearable.
The paladins arrived at the burning galra ship and began using the blue lion to put out the blazing fire. They where hoping to recover any information the ship may have held on it. The last thing they expected to hear when they entered was loud pain filled screams. They scrambled to find the source.
Keith believed no one could hear his cry’s of pain. He just kept screaming, the pain was almost too much even for him. He was trapped and his skin blistering from the burns on his right side. Lance was the one who found him, his heart sinking at the site of Keith laying there screaming in pain. Lance quickly alerted the others that he found the source of the screams. None of them where prepared for the scene they walked into. Lance was at Keith’s side doing his best to comfort the whimpering boy.
The first issue they had to deal with was removing the large piece of metal off of Keith. Then they had to get Keith out of the burnt galra ship. Their hearts broke each time Keith let out a gut wrenching scream filled with pain…
Notes: Thank you to @loverhymeswith for beta reading for me! And a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported Part 1! The response has been amazing and it really means so incredibly much to me!
Rooster… It had been a faint sound, feeble and hoarse, but he had heard you whisper his name across the coms. You were alive. For now at least. And Rooster was determined to do everything in his power to keep it that way even if that meant risking his own life.
He had seen the look of pain that flashed across your face as the missile that was aimed at his plane suddenly slammed into yours instead, and he had managed to catch a glimpse of your limp body as it hung beneath your parachute after you ejected. As much as he had screamed into the coms for you to turn on your beacon, as much as he kept insisting to the others that you were alive, part of him didn’t believe it. So, the second he saw your location beacon flicker to life on his radar, his heart leaped in his chest.
Now, as he ignored everyone’s incessant calls for him to return to the aircraft carrier, he was circling the area around your beacon. It seemed luck was on his side because, while he was unable to spot where you landed amongst the trees, he was able to find an old service road that had been recently cleared of snow. It wasn’t his best landing, and he knew takeoff would be tricky on the uneven surface, but at least it was something he could work with.
His engine didn’t even have time to sputter to a stop before he was out of the cockpit and jumping to the ground. The signal from your beacon had placed you not too far from here, but as Rooster sprinted towards the location, he saw no sign of you. A million thoughts spiraled through his head. Maybe you had been captured. Maybe the beacon had fallen off your suit and malfunctioned, turning on by itself. Maybe he wasn’t going to reach you in time, wasn’t going to have the chance to tell you….
But just then, he spotted something to his right. You were laying on your side with your back towards him, crumpled at the base of a tree with your parachute tangled in the limbs high above you. As he rushed to your side, he noticed your entire body was shivering but whether it was from the cold, the pain, or some sort of shock, Rooster couldn’t tell. Normally this fact would have worried him, but at the moment, he was just relieved for a sign that you were alive. As carefully as he could, he eased you onto your back, before gasping in alarm.
