LANCE

"Hey I found the clip." Keith announced.

I stood behind his pilot's seat as he pressed play.

"Quiznak! Is that Coran?!" I wheezed as I bent over laughing.

It in fact was a younger Coran with a terrible hairstyle but still had his infamous mustache.

We watched the clip with growing concern as our amusement faded.

"Um why does it keep cutting out like that?" Keith asked.

"At the important parts too!" I wailed trying to rewind the clip but it was no use the video was too old and damaged.

"I guess we can wing it." I shrugged. Keith gave me an exasperated look.

"What? We don't really have a choice. The worm is right there and it's friggin huge!" I pointed out of the window.

"Alright let's land and head inside." Keith nodded.

Both of us entered the worm through it's gills. It seemed like the only option other than being eaten which in my opinion was no bueno.

"This is so gross." I cringed as the slime covered interior of the worm moved as it breathed.

"Just don't touch anything and you will be fine." Keith rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah sure." I dismissed his sarcasm with my own. I scanned my surroundings looking for an entrance but couldn't find one.

I spotted a pulsating muscle that had a hole in it.

That looks promising.

Before I could call to Keith that I found the way I fell through.

"Omigod is that blood? Yep it's blood. I'm gonna puke." I gagged as I heard Keith's worried voice over our mic's.

"Lance where did you go?!" He asked in a panic.

"I may have fallen into the bloodstream." I gagged again.

I could almost hear his eyes roll again as he sighed heavily into the mic.

"Alright. I'm making my way to the stomach. Do you remember what Coran said about the plate things? How they get made?" He asked.

"Uhhhh, right. Yeah. Um- plate things?" I tapped the chin of my helmet as I floated down the blood stream.

"Never mind. Just get back outside. I think I need something to distract it to get it to shoot that lazer thing again." Keith explained.

"Couldn't have said that before I fell in the bloodstream." I muttered.

"What was that?" Keith called.

"Nothing." I spoke quickly as I swam my way to the opening and back out of the gills.

I made it back to Red by the time Keith made it to its lower stomach.

"Be careful in there okay. Stomach acid is like- well it's acid. It's dangerous." I spoke into the mic as I forced Red to fly for me. She was reluctant but thankfully moved for me.

"Worried?" Keith teased over the com.

I felt heat creep into my cheeks.

"Actually yes." I admitted.

"D'aw. I'll be okay. Just don't get shot okay." Keith chuckled.

"You worried about me or Red?" I joked.

"Red." He paused.

"And you." He added after a moment. Ignoring that I manuvered around the worm with some difficulty.
