1654 Words7 Pages

“Urg...Ack...”

Hunk cracked open one of his eyes. For some reason, he couldn’t open the other eye. His vision blurred while he could hear the faint sounds of his lion’s alarm system sounding off in the background. He was tempted to fall back to sleep. The temptation at first was too strong for him. He could feel a sharp pain around the side of his waist from who knows what.

The planet came into view. It was blue. Like the ocean back on Earth. He didn’t see any Galra cruiser around. That didn’t mean that they weren’t around the area. He’ll have to keep a lookout since his scanners are down too. The Paladin looked several of the hovering panels, pressing on each of them to run a diagnostics on the scanner and the communications. From there, he focused his attention back on what’s ahead of him.

“You think you can land, Yellow?”

Again it answered by making a weak sound. Hunk was worried like any other paladin would be for its lion. Normally, the Yellow Lion could take a hit. Whatever hit the lion must have been a powerful weapon. If he got hit one more time, he and the lion were done
