Chapter 29
Death and Life
Amarante ended up being knocked unconscious due to the pain. She had multiple doctors around her. Working on getting the shrapnel out of her while the others stitch her up but due to her coralian blood they didn't know what blood they could use so she didn't die of blood loss. Seeing as I was next to Amarante, I could see the extent of the damage done to her.
"Hook me up to the machine that transfers blood. Use my blood." I demanded
"Sir we can't your also injured loosing blood too." One of the doctors said, this angered me greatly. I pushed the two doctors that were working on me away from me. They knew about my condition when I get angered I begin changing so they backed off. I swung my legs off of the medical stretcher. I gave the doctors a look that said try forcing me back down they all backed off.
"Is the shrapnel removed from Amarante." I said, All the doctors nodded, I limped over to Amarante as two of the doctors moved out of the way. I stood there concentrating which was harder then usual due to the pain in my back, leg and arm but eventually the palms of my hands began glowing a rainbow colored then turned white. I moved my hands over Amarante's wounds. After a few seconds they began closing one by one as I became more and more light headed, after about 3 minutes that felt like forever her wounds were healed but scars were left behind. I couldn't stand anymore as I fell over and lost conscious. Eureka and Renton saw this.
POV Change - General
"BAKA!" Eureka and Renton both yelled this caught Talho and Holland's attention as well. They looked over and saw what had happened. Shawn was on the ground with the doctors around him now picking him up and putting him back onto the patients table then began working on him again.
"Doctor he's not breathing!" One of the nurses said. The doctor checked his pulse and Shawn was in fact not breathing. This caused Eureka to break as she began crying worried over Shawn. Renton hugged her tightly as Talho and Holland stared on with disbelief. Thinking Shawn couldn't die! Not after all that's happened! Holland Balled his hand into a fist as Talho noticed this. "There's nothing you could have done Holland." Talho said. He lowered his head in defeat but said nothing.
They brought out the defibrillator cut open Shawn's uniform then charged the machine. "Clear!" the doctor said while placing the sternal paddle against Shawn then an electrical shock happened once. The doctor waited, no response then on the charge it again. "Clear!" on the second shock Shawn gasped he started breathing again.
"He's breathing again! Nurses get him hooked up so we can monitor his heart beat, and he needs a blood transfusion as well. I believe he was, blood type A." The doctor said. This caused a huge relief for Eureka, Renton, Holland and Talho.
They hooked shawn up to a bunch of machines also did a blood transfusion. They were removing the shrapnel and stitching up his wounds now. Once they were done his wings looked hideous with all those stitches then they bandage him up. After another 2 hours everyone was patched up. The entire Gekko go crew burst in as did Morita and Greg. They saw Amarante who looked fine now which they couldn't figure out at the time how that happened then their eyes came upon Shawn.
Everyone went wide eyed. They saw all the machines hooked into him, the bandages and how pale he looked. He was whiter then Amarante and Eureka. Gidget, Hilda and Anemone became teary eyed. The guys stood there taking in this whole scene. They all walked up to Renton and Eureka.
"What happened?" Dominic asked, Renton went ahead and explained what had transpired in the hanger and then what happened here in the medical bay. After about 20 minutes of explaining they all stood there dumbfounded.
"He really cares about Amarante that it seems no matter the consequences he is determined to always save her." Eureka said as Renton put an arm around her shoulder.
Moondoggie and Matthieu shook their head.
"So how badly hurt was Shawn and Amarante?" Hap asked
"Amarante was hurt enough to where if Shawn didn't do what he did. She would have surely died as the doctors were trying to figure out if a blood transfusion would work. Shawn was also severely injured as well, loosing a lot of blood." Renton said
"He's really quite the knight." Hap said
"Do you all mind if I take a picture of what has happened?" Stoner asked.
The doctors thought for a moment then nodded giving him permission. So Stoner went about taking pictures of Shawn, Amarante, Talho and Holland. Then went back to his room to begin developing the pictures and working on an article about everything that has happened. After this Stoner was going to release the new issue of Ray=Out to the public.
After that everyone else left while Renton and Eureka stayed in the medical bay waiting for Amarante or Shawn to wake up. A few more hours went by as Amarante finally came to snapping her eyes open then bolting upright from where she was laying but fell back down due to the sudden rush to her head. Eureka saw this rushing over there as one of the nurses came over as well when she noticed Eureka's reaction.
"Where's Shawn!" Amarante said in a panic.
"He's fine Amarante he's right next to you." Eureka said pointing next to her. Amarante turned her head and saw Shawn asleep covered with a white blanket. After that Amarante settled down.
"What Happened?" Amarante asked
Eureka remained silent for a moment as Renton walked up and began explaining what had happened minus the part about Shawn dying due to healing her. After everything sank in she looked back over at Shawn and smiled while a few tears streamed down her face.
"Eureka can you help me up?" Amarante asked. Eureka looked over at the nurse and the nurse nodded giving eureka permission. Eureka helped Amarante up then onto the cold floor of the medical bay. She walked over to Shawn and stared at his face. She noticed how pale he looked.
"How come he looks so pale?" Amarante asked while she stroked the side of Shawn's face in a loving manner.
"It's due to him loosing so much blood. Once a human or I imagine a Coralian looses so much blood they will die. That's why he has all those machines hooked up to him." Renton explained as Amarante brought her eyes upon each machine that was around Shawn. Then she noticed she had something stuck into her arm.
"It's called an Ivee. It keeps fluids in your body so you don't get dehydrated plus it has nutrients as well." Renton explained as Amarante nodded signifying she understood.
"Do you know when he'll wake up?" Amarante asked as Renton looked at the nurse.
"We don't have an estimate. He could wake up today or many days down the road. The body sometimes of his may heal faster but the mind is another story." The nurse answered.
Amarante just nodded as the nurse picked up a clipboard at the end of Shawn's bed wrote down some notes then clipped it back to the end of Shawn's bed then walked away. Amarante slowly walked back to her medical stretcher having Eureka help her back into bed. Amarante laid back down as Renton and Eureka looked at each other then walked away. They figured she wanted to be alone for now.
Talho and Holland were also asleep. So Renton and Eureka left the room and headed to the cafeteria. Amarante laid in bed as something was telling her to touch Shawn's wounds. She couldn't figure out who's this voice was but decided on waiting till the nurse left. Just as if right on cue the nurse left the room for just a few minutes. Amarante slowly got up then walked over to Shawn's stretcher. She gently removed the blanket then removed the bandages from Shawn's wounds, she visibly winced by how bad the wounds looked on his wings and everyone else then placed her hands on the wounds her hands began glowing a green color then she noticed the left side of her arm began glowing in certain spots as well. She noticed after a couple of seconds passed his wounds began healing themselves she then moved to Shawn's arm then his leg healing the wounds there as well and covered him back up. She started feeling quite light headed but managed to go lay back on the medical stretcher then feel asleep. Though what she failed to notice is there was someone awake while this was all going on. They closed their eyes after Amarante laid back down.
Change of POV – Shawn
I slowly opened my eyes looking around. I noticed I was in a medical bay then after a few moments everything came back to me. I grabbed my head as a headache hit me hard. This caught the attention of the nurse as she rushed over then gave me some medication to swallow. I did as I was told swallowed the pills then after a couple of minutes the medicine finally kicked in.
"Can you set the stretcher so I'm sitting up more?" I asked the nurse nicely. She nodded her head and adjusted it for me.
"Thanks. So what exactly happened after I passed out?" I asked
"Well after you healed that girls wounds you passed out and died. We eventually revived you thankfully. Stitched you up and put bandages on you as well." She said
"Hm, well how come I don't feel any bandages on me then?" I asked. The nurse became very curious about my question. She motioned for me to sit up more so she could see my wings. I did I was told then she gasped.
"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"Nothing's wrong. The bandages are gone and your wounds are completely healed on your back and your arms. May I remove the blanket off your legs too?" The nurse asked. I nodded my head so she removed the blanket and looked at the back of my leg. She had this expression that clearly said how did this happen. I looked over at Amarante, thinking did she, nah she couldn't have. So I dismissed the thought into the back of my mind. I looked back at the nurse.
"Well I do have abnormal healing abilities." I said
"I will have to agree with you there but you seem to be all healed. Let me call in the doctor to have him check on you then we might be able to remove the machines from you." She said as she walked to the nurse's station picked up the phone hitting a few buttons. "Doctor, Shawn is awake and you should come now to look at this you won't believe it." The nurse said.
About 30 minutes later a older gentleman walked in then came over to me. Doctor Winburg was his name. "So how are you feeling?" He asked
"I'm feeling really good. A tad sore but other then that I'm good." I said, the doctor just nodded then examined my back, arm and leg while jotting down notes onto a piece of paper then he passed it off to the nurse.
"Your in really good health but how did all this heal within a matter of hours?" Winburg asked
"I do have coralian blood in me that increases my healing abilities." I said. Winburg nodded his head and decided since I didn't really know the answer he got up and walked over to the nurses station.
"Alright you're free to go and Amarante is free to go." Winburg said as I looked over I noticed she was now sitting up smiling at me but it seem sad and I could feel a sad emotion coming from her. I decided to ask about it later but it worried me. I wondered why she seemed sad unless she heard that I had died then was revived after I healed her.
'I'll just pretend I don't know anything till she's ready to say something.' I thought. I looked around looking for my uniform but failed to find it.
"Hey doctor, where are my clothes I was wearing eariler?" I asked
"Oh we had to cut the shirt off of you and the pants were somewhat shredded too." Winburg said
"Man that really sucks." I said as Ken-goh walked in with a new military uniform and handed it to me.
"Read my mind." I said
"So how are your wounds?" Ken-goh asked
"It seems they completely healed and I'm good to go now." I said.
This earned a surprised look from Ken-goh but then he realized that I had those healing powers.
"Glad to hear your better and you too Amarante." Ken-goh said.
"Thank you Ken-goh." Amarante said with a now cheery smile. I put my clothing back on then laid the hospital gown on the table. Amarante had already changed into her new clothing as well. She then came up and hugged me from behind me. I just laughed at this.
"So how's everyone been doing?" I asked
"Everyone's been worried sick about you. It hasn't been the same without you being around." Ken-goh said
"Going sentimental on me now Ken-goh." I said chuckling as Ken-goh just shook his head.
"Same old Shawn." Ken-goh said
"Yep! Wouldn't be myself without it!" I said with a wide smile on my face. "So where is everyone right now?" I asked
"Currently they're all on the Gekko Go having a meeting." Ken-goh said
"Ah okay! Time to go crash it!" I said with a mischievous grin. "Ready to go Amarante?" I asked while I extended my hand out for her to take.
"Yep, I'm ready." Amarante said happily as she took my hand as we headed to the Gekko Go.
As we walked through the hall I noticed the people that once stared at me in a non friendly way were now nice to me. I couldn't figure out why but just shrugged it off smiling back to them. We reached the outside as I noticed the sun was out. We walked across the base into the hanger then into the Gekko Go's hanger. I noticed some blood was on Michiko which I frowned about and she was still in her mech form.
'I'll have to clean that later and lock her down again' I thought.
Amarante noticed where I was looking then also frowned a bit as we walked past. We went up the stairs and entered the ship. As we reached the meeting room I looked into meeting room and no one was there. We began searching all around the ship until we came to the last spot where the round table behind the bridge of the ship. I climbed down as Amarante followed suit then leaned myself against the wall and watched everyone as they continued talking. I figured they knew someone was there but due to how everyone's head was turned while they talked they couldn't tell who it was. They all finally turned their heads after I didn't say anything. It took them a moment for them to register it was me. "I'm Back." I said with a happy smile on my face. Just then the kids barreled over to me first running into me hard causing me to topple over falling on my butt while everyone else ran up and hugged me. After a few tears were shed and a few head pats from me everyone slowly stood back up taking a few steps back. I managed to stand up.
"So how's everyone doing?" I asked
"We should be asking how you are. No wounds on your body now and you look like you never went through that horrible attack." Hap said, I just shrugged to his comment.
"Can't explain it, maybe my healing ability has something to do with it." I said, everyone just nodded then left it at that.
"You hungry?" Eureka asked
"Hell yes! I could easily eat an elk!" I said as a few of the crew members looked at me.
"Animal from my planet it can be used as a food source. So let's head to the kitchen!" I said as they all nodded. "CHARGE!" I said loudly as we all headed to the kitchen. Renton and Eureka got on it with cooking. Once they finished cooking just then Holland and Talho walked in.
"Hey you two, glad the both of you are safe and sound." I said
"Same to you." Talho and Holland said as they sat down.
Eureka and Renton then began setting plates upon plates of different food onto the table as we all loaded up our plates and began eating. It seemed like the mood had somewhat returned to normal.
"Oh hey I completely forgot do u all wanna watch that one movie and amv I told you all about?" I asked. Everyone paused for a moment then realized I did say something about that yesterday, everyone eventually nodded.
"Alright favor then can someone bring in some of those speakers or if everyone doesn't mind cramming into my room we all can watch it." I said as everyone began thinking again.
"Let's all go into Shawn's room." Everyone said.
Once we all finished eating we all walked into my room as I hooked my ipod into the speaker I loaded up "Eureka Seven Pocketful of Rainbows". I laid against my bed and held up the Ipod so everyone behind me could see. Amarante was on the right side of me. The kids were on the left. Eureka, Gidget, Hilda, Talho and anemone were behind me. The guys just said they would watch it later as there wasn't enough room for everyone to see. "Enjoy. By the way if I fanboy out just ignore me." I happily said with a smile. Some of them cocked their head to the side. "You'll see what I mean when I fanboy." I said as everyone just shrugged. The movie began.
"Kawaii!" All the girls said as the mini-nirvash was talking. I just chuckled. "Remember this a completely different plot and such. So just keep this mind. I'll answer all questions afterwards." I said
"SHHHH!" All three of the kids said.
When the scene came to when Eureka was taken away from Renton. I literally growled saying "Stupid humans." I said as everyone then looked at me and giggled then back to the ipod.
The next scene was when Renton finally found Eureka. I was making this unexplainable noise that again caught everyone's attention and they were amused as Amarante thought it was cute as she laid her head on my shoulder and continued watching the movie. During the speech of Renton saying he'd protect Eureka no matter what all the girls fangirled out as Eureka just blushed. Then once Renton rescued Eureka from falling I majorly fanboyed out. Everyone then stared at me. "What! I love this anime!" I said while blushing. Then I went back to watching anime as Amarante kissed my cheek. No one said a word but chuckled a little. The scene was Renton says Eureka and I are going on a date I begin laughing so hard due to the reaction of Eureka, Holland and the things Renton is saying. Everyone this time just ignored me as Amarante couldn't understand my sense of humor. "Gomen." I quietly said as I settled down and started paying attention again. As Renton said look no hands and the nirvash began dropping out of the sky I started laughing hard once again. The moment Hap shot Renton, Eureka got all emotional. I had to pause the movie for a second. "Yes that part greatly pissed me off cause Hap wouldn't act like that in real life." I said after a few minutes she calmed back down then I continued with the movie. As the movie came to an end I let it play through the credits. I wiped a few tears from eyes and exhaled then smiled.
"No commenting about me being all sappy regarding this anime." I said
"Anyways Eureka you gave up your memories to save renton's life. You were basically reborn as a human, at least I think you were reborn as a human or you might have been reborn as a coralian again. Anemone Can't really explain that whole scene with you except I was happy about you and dominic being together in the end. The other world they spoke of I suppose you could consider it the world underneath this earth." I said
"That was a really good movie." Everyone said as all the girls had tears in their eyes even Amarante.
"I'm glad you all liked the movie. I fell in love with the Eureka Seven Series and the movie. Just something about it always moves me while I'm watching it." I said
"I can understand." Amarante said as she wiped tears away from her eyes.
"Anyways as for the AMV I spoke of. Animated Movie Video." I said I began playing an AMV called "[Eureka Seven AMV] His Love Will Conquer All {BEST DRAMA}" (Note: Youtube this video.)
After the end of the AMV It had all the girls in tears once again. "I found the AMV beautiful in it's own way. I have plenty more like this if you all are interested in seeing them." I said
They all nodded signifying they were interested.
I cycled through my AMV's and playing them. I played quite a few as they all seemed to enjoy each one and I enjoyed sharing the AMV's. As the last AMV played I turned up the volume a bit. Everyone looked at me I mouthed trust me. The creator used the song Aerosmith – I don't want to miss a thing. I began to sing to the song as we all were watching. Once the song ended everyone was speechless.
"Now you see why. So what did you all think?" I asked, Eureka was blushing quite badly.
"So that's when you and renton kissed." Gidget said teasing Eureka which caused her to smack Gidgets arm that caused me to start laughing as everyone else started after I did.
"It's not funny!" Eureka said acting all embarrassed and angry which didn't help because we all started laughing even harder. The guys eventually came in wondering what we were laughing about. I showed them the last AMV we all watched. This got a rise out of Renton, as the guys began teasing Renton about kissing Eureka.
"The both of you are just so cute with your innocent love." As I chuckled, "Alright I'll quit with the poking fun." I said.
"Anyways we can switch seats if you guys want to watch the movie." I said, all the guys nodded as I setup the Ipod and hit play. Everyone walked out of the room including me leaving Holland, Moondoggie, Hap, Stoner, Jobs, Dominic and Ken-goh in there. Everyone else walked to the kitchen area. I walked over to the sink for another glass of water as Amarante and the girls continued chatting about girl things.
"Hey Amarante I'm going to go clean off Michiko and get her locked down." I said as she nodded. I walked out of the kitchen area heading for the hanger but not before stopping by to grab some cleaning supplies. I placed my hand on Michiko to see how she was doing.
'Hey there! How's the awesome Michiko.' I thought cheerily
'Hello there. I assume you're alive and well.' Michiko replied
'Well of course, if I wasn't then I wouldn't be here now would I.' I thought sarcastically causing Michiko to chuckle a bit.
'I am glad you are back to your normal self.' Michiko replied, 'What brings you out here?' Michiko asked
'I need to clean this blood off of you and get u locked back down again.' I thought
'Thank you.' Michiko replied
'No need for thanks, it's the least I could.' I thought, as I first climbed into the cockpit putting Michiko back into vehicle mode then I climbed out and began scrubbing off the blood. It took me about half an hour as the rest of the blood came off. I looked around and noticed the Nirvash had some blood on it so I decided on doing the nice thing. I decided on cleaning the Nirvash as well. I walked over placing my hand on the Nirvash.
"I wonder if the Nirvash talks with Eureka and Renton as well." I said out loud
'I do.' Came a female voice which startled me a bit as I retracted my hand then placed it on the Nirvash again.
"Nirvash?" I asked
'Yes, that is I.' Nirvash replied, I had this really happy feeling swell up in me.
"Oh my god! This is so cool being able to speak with you!" I said excitedly
'I was wondering when you would. I expected it sooner than later.' Nirvash replied
"You have some spunk as well." I said chuckling
'Just like Michiko.' Nirvash replied
"Ya got that right. So how was your trip to and back from whatever world you went to." Curiousness evident in my voice
'It was enjoyable but I did miss Eureka and Renton greatly. Gonzy brought me back to this world as there were things left undone. Just like how he brought you here too' Nirvash replied
"Yeah, that was one hell of a surprise." I said
'Do you still hate him for forcing you into this world?' Nirvash asked
"How could I hate that old coralian. I just wasn't too happy at the time. Now I am glad he did because I have Amarante with me that I deeply love. Plus I have the Gekko Go as my family which makes me very happy" I said remembering everything that I've experienced since I've arrived here.
'I'm glad. You're like Renton who always seems to make miracles happen and carries happiness wherever he goes.' Nirvash said, I chuckled at the comment as it was quite true.
"That he does though I don't think I can cause miracles, to be honest." I said being my usual modest self
'You do. You caused a girl like Amarante to feel for people. She shows emotions now. Plus you seem to always protect those around you, no matter what type of odds are against you and much more.' Nirvash replied with utmost confidence, I just shrugged.
"I suppose so." I said
'So how is Gonzy?' The nirvash asked
"He's doing well, we always nice talks when he summons my subconscious." I said
'I see, I'm glad he's doing well.' Nirvash replied
"Talk to you later." I said
'Same to you.' Nirvash replied
Before I started washing the blood off of the Nirvash I heard someone approach me from behind.
