Lance Glanced At Keith And Looked Away.

Lance glanced at Keith and looked away.

“I’m fine. Just…we had a really close call there. Almost lost a kid…” he was starting to get drawn back to the memory. And that memory started to flash and be replaced with images of other similar incidents. Images of wailing parent, begging mothers, dying children…

He was starting to get flashbacks of world war 2. His time liberating concentration camps and finding half dead and dying prisoners…. It was horrible.

Red Moon, Full Moon

(The Voltron Paladins have been sent out on a mission to rescue allied aliens that have been trapped under rocky debris for almost a whole quintant. But, there might be a problem for our favorite vampire and werewolf duo; not only does the planet have a red moon in it’s orbit, there’s also a full moon tonight. )

Lance melted into the hug and wrapped his arms around Keith. The hug helped ground him. Keep him from going back to that concentration camp where he was forced to see people suffer. Forced to watch people die… forced to let them die.

He knew his fair share of healing magic, he could heal people with really bad injuries. But you can’t heal starvation. You also can’t heal people who are too far gone health wise.

He shuddered at the memory and buried his face into Keith’s shoulder. He wondered if Keith had ever been in any of the kinds of situations he was in.

The moment was cut short though when coran’s voice shouted over the com links.

“PALADINS! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!”

“What? What’s wrong coran?” Shiro inquired.

“I made a slight miscalculation. The blood and full moon are not due tomorrow, they are due today! In fact, they are do any minute now!”

Lance froze.

No… nonononono! This can’t be happening! Not now!

Lance was panicking in Keith’s arms. What were they going to do? There was no time to run and get off the planet. There wasn’t even any time to get to the lions.

They were screwed.

Red Moon, Full Moon

(The Voltron Paladins have been sent out on a mission to rescue allied aliens that have been trapped under rocky debris for almost a whole quintant. But, there might be a problem for our favorite vampire and werewolf duo; not only does the planet have a red moon in it’s orbit, there’s also a full moon tonight. )

At pidge’s comment, Lance just gives her a side glance and smiles.

“I bet your the one who thought hotdogs were a sandwich and your sore cause you were wrong.”

He began sipping his blood smugly.

Then at the announcement he sighed.

“Alright team we got work to do. Finish up your breakfast, get your armor on and meet up at the bridge. Duty calls!” Shiro barked out.

Lance groaned, then started gulping down his blood as fast as he could, put his mug in the sink and ran out to go put on his armor.

So much for taking time to enjoy my meal.

Shiro stuffed his mouth with as much food goo as he could before bolting out of the kitchen. The universe doesn’t wait for voltron.

Red Moon, Full Moon

But, there might be a problem for our favorite vampire and werewolf duo; not only does the planet have a red moon in it’s orbit, there’s also a full moon tonight. )

Lance blinks then laughs.

“You guys are seriously having that age old debate? Lol”

He takes a minute to calm down from his bout of laughter.

“Have you two ever watched the food theory channel on YouTube? They did a theory on this very topic. And they have confirmed that the definition of a sandwich is food stuck between two slices of bread. So no, hotdogs are not sandwiches.”

“Really Keith? You shouldn’t skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Shiro chided.

Upon overhearing this, lance chimes in.

“Actually shiro, that’s not true! The most important meal of the day is lunch! Food theory did a video on that too.”

Shiro cocked an eyebrow at this.

“Oh really? And why is that pray tell?”

So Lance started rattling off the facts he heard from the food theory video. How the saying was invented by Sigmund Freud’s nephew Edward Bernays to help a company called beech-nut sell their bacon and ham products. And how they got doctors to help encourage people to see breakfast as the most important meal of the day. That scientists did a study and proved that skipping breakfast didn’t make you have any differences in metabolism and lead to any weight gain or loss. As far as why lunch, lunch was the middle ground for peak meal time. Earlier in the day, you body is in start up mode and getting the body going, while in the evening, you body is getting ready for shut down mode to process everything you ate throughout the day. Lunch was the most ideal time to eat and is the most important meal of the day.

Shiro blinked at this long explanation. Since when was Lance so knowledgable? He literally never heard Lance talk so scientifically about anything in the time he knew him. He expected this kind of talk to come out of pidge, so this took him by surprise.

He was about to respond to lance when Allura interrupted.

When Allura spoke, they all turned to listen.

A rescue mission? Wonder who they are rescuing.

Red Moon, Full Moon

(The Voltron Paladins have been sent out on a mission to rescue allied aliens that have been trapped under rocky debris for almost a whole quintant. But, there might be a problem for our favorite vampire and werewolf duo; not only does the planet have a red moon in it’s orbit, there’s also a full moon tonight. )

Lance scrunched his face wondering what Keith was up to.

Oh well, I’m sure we’ll find out soon.

Meanwhile coran is finishing up with calibrating the power core in the engine room. He wipes his brow and starts heading up to the bridge.

He notices Keith aprouch him on the way there.

“Ah! Keith. Is there something on your mind?”

Red Moon, Full Moon

(The Voltron Paladins have been sent out on a mission to rescue allied aliens that have been trapped under rocky debris for almost a whole quintant. But, there might be a problem for our favorite vampire and werewolf duo; not only does the planet have a red moon in it’s orbit, there’s also a full moon tonight. )

Coran checked the current cycle timeframe.

“Hmm according to this the next blood moon should be tomorrow. And the next full moon is also tomorrow! They are both happening at the same time! Well that’s lucky, we will only be here for today, we’ll be gone way before then!” Coran said cheerfully.

Lance breaths a sigh of relief. They won’t be here for either moon.

“All the same, we better take some tranq darts with us just in case we run into problems were we might be here longer.” Shiro reasoned. He knew missions didn’t always go as planned and he wanted to be prepared for anything.
