A/N: Ok, this, unlike the previous chapter is told, once again, by the pikmin.
Chapter 7: Home
Time Unknown – When I came to, everything was dark. I was lying on something soft, so I really didn't want to get up yet. Reluctantly opening my eyes out of curiosity, I looked around at my unfamiliar surroundings.
I was in a small, circular chamber with two beds, one of which I was lying on, and all sorts of mechanical devices lining the walls. The mattresses of the beds were large enough to fit ten pikmin! My arm had a cloth around it and my legs were bound. (Olimar: Okay, I must interject. I never tied his legs together; I just put casts on them. Pikmin just don't know what casts are) A loud mechanical voce startled me.
"So, you've decided to join the living, eh?"
The lights went on. I was temporarily blinded. When my eyes adjusted, I saw a small orb with a tiny megaphone on it through which it was speaking. It's voice was the same as the triangular structure that usually follows us into caves, the one Olimar calls "Pod".
"How're ya feelin'?"
"…Pain…"
"You should consider yourself lucky!" Pod said, happily "You pulled the impossible! You survived nightfall!"
?…Was this guy kidding? Was I still alive? …I cannot believe that just hit me…
"How long have I been out?" I asked
"'Bout three days."
"Wha-" I couldn't finish my sentence, because at that very moment, there was a loud clank and Olimar popped in.
He cheered at seeing me awake. Wow…this guy really cares. Olimar removed the braces on my legs and took me outside. Yeah…it's definitely bigger on the inside, somehow.
I was ordered back into the ship through a small hole that is use by purple and white pikmin to enter and exit their living quarters. Upon crawling in, I was greeted warmly by everyone else in the ship. Then they launched question after question about how I survived. It was invigorating. I'm still asking myself some of those questions! Everyone is way too thrilled with this…but I don't care.
