the wound in his side is on fire, and he can feel the shakiness through his connection with black-- he doesn't know how zarkon did what he did, why the lion would let him, but he can feel that things have changed. alarms blare in his ears and the controls are unresponsive in his hands, and he can see the red lion being tossed around like a feather in a hurricane. he wants to get black to grab her, to hold onto her so shiro can hold onto keith, but they're both being pummeled in the maelstrom.
he's yelling keith's name when everything goes black.
re-entry wakes him up. the cockpit is dark, running on emergency power, everything faintly lit by a hellish red glow as they fall through the sky. he gets the impression of clouds, of blue and black sky, and the lights of some kind of civilization below. this time it's not a desert. this time it's an expanse of black water rushing up at him. he tries to fire thrusters, to get black pointed in the right direction to absorb the brunt of the impact, but she's tired and hurt and exhausted and so is he, and the impact shakes him back into the dark. ]
