Chapter 6
Antibody Coralian Saves the Day!

They managed to carry me to Mischa, who was very shocked to see Shawn again. After she recovered from her shock she had them explain what had happened and started surveying Shawn's condition. After a good twenty minutes she came to the conclusion he was alright just exhausted. She suggested that they move him into his old room on the Gekko Go. So they did as they were told and they also brought the blanket Amarante used, laying it on him. Kamin and Kevin stayed in the room as well as Akane while everyone else reported to Holland and Talho of what had happened.

"So has this happened before Akane?" Kamin asked

"Yes, once in the cave where myself and my sister and brothers were born as well, but it didn't fling him back like that, he only collapsed." Akane explained.

"I see." Kamin said

"Anything I can do?" Kevin asked

"Just sit here with me." Kamin said as she snuggled into her boyfriend while Akane got comfortable as well. Eventually Kamin and Kevin fell asleep while Akane remained awake watching over Shawn.

'I don't want to loose Shawn to anyone.' Akane thought sadly not knowing what this feeling was but she didn't like it as soon after she eventually dosed off.

A few hours had passed as Mischa had come and gone checking up on Shawn. The couple and Akane were still there sleeping which was a surprise for Mischa. The other surprise was to see the Antibody Corlian pet floating next to Shawn watching him intently. After Mischa had left again the coralian became really excited seeing me stir. I woke up as my eyes slowly focused. Being met by an coralian is quite the surprise as I jerked a bit then settled down when I noticed it wasn't attacking me. It came closer nudging my hand. I lifted my hand and began petting it as it made some sort of purr noise.

"Hey fellow how long have you been here?" I asked not expecting an answer which I didn't receive. I slowly moved myself into a sitting position noticing Kamin and Kevin sleeping there and Akane as well. So as to not wake them I decided to try standing. It took a bit of effort but I managed to stand and quietly walk out of the medical bay with the Coralian in tow. I decided to head to the kitchen on the ship. After finally finding the kitchen I started making a sandwich and figured the coralian is probably hungry as well so I made it one too. I set the sandwich down on the ground as the coralian looked at the sandwich then me.

"Go ahead you can eat it." I said as it quickly ate it and again made another happy noise. I sat down and began eating my sandwich thinking about what to call it.

"Well I can't go about calling you coralian all the time. Hmmm, I think I'll name you Soko." I said to Soko as it twirled itself in a circular motion letting me know it liked the name.

"I wonder how long I was out." I thought outloud as I finished my sandwich and put the plate in the sink. I decided on taking a walk outside, I figured I could better gauge the time that way. As I was heading out I ran into Mischa.

"Shawn! You're awake. Do you feel okay?" Mischa asked

"I feel great. Just ate something and was heading outside to figure out how many hours have passed." I said happily

"Oh. A few hours have passed." Mischa stated

"Oh okay! Thanks! Anyways is it alright if I go outside?" I asked. Mischa thought for a moment then nodded her head.

"Just take it easy and no touching anymore exoskeletons. If anything changed your mental or physical state please come to me immediately, understood?" Mischa asked as I nodded my head then continued on my way as Soko followed behind.

I noticed the sky was slowly changing colors to the evening ones. So I decided on taking a flight to stretch my wings. I began running and jumped into the air catching the trapar in the air. I noticed Soko was easily following as well. As I gain altitude positioning myself high above the base as I soared through the sky watching the evening sky and thinking about things. The things I've encountered since I came back to this world and what may come in the days to follow. I decided on not worrying about it and enjoyed the scenery as a flock of sky fish seemed to come out of nowhere as they began flying with Soko and I. There were a lot of small to medium ones and one large sky fish. They enjoyed flowing circles around me and playing tag with me as they would come up touch me then fly off. I found them very interesting so I began playing this game of tag. After a good hour of flying they seem to fly off as I flew back down to the base. Landing safely on the ground I decided on paying a visit to the coralian quarters before finding my friends. I walked over to the building, entering then looking around to see if anyone was in the living room area. No one was so I decided on strolling through the building. I came to another big room where there were many books. This time I ran into seven coralians I did not know. When I entered the room they all looked up at me, paused and then they all bowed their heads a bit.

"Hello Shawn. What brings you here?" one of the male coralians asked

"Nothing really just killing some time." I stated as I looked at the book he was reading. It was something about quantum physics.

"I see. Surprised that little guy has taken a liking to you." He stated pointing to Soko

"You mean Soko?" I asked as I looked at it.

"You named it?" He asked

"Yep I did and he was staring at me when I woke up. Soko seems to really like me though I don't know the gender of it." I said

"It has no gender so it can be a she or he." He stated

"I see. We'll then It'll be a she since Soko sounds like a females name." I said happily as I patted Soko's head earning a happy purr from her.

"How come your surprised she likes me?" I asked

"She's seemed distant for a long time, not paying attention to any of us even when we've tried playing with her. She especially doesn't like Holland. She always growls at him." He said

"Hm, interesting; as for growling at Holland, that's probably a normal reaction." I said chuckling a bit.

"So when were you all born?" I asked

"I was born about six months ago along with the other three over there and the other three were born 2 months ago." He stated

"I see. Well it's a pleasure meeting all of you. If you need anything just ask, I'll help anyway I can." I said smiling happily as all of them smiled ever so slightly then their facial expressions went back to normal.

"We'll keep that in mind." He stated

"Anyways I'm going to head out. Nice talking with you." I said

"Like wise." He replied as I walked out of the room followed by Soko. I headed back down to the living room area as I sat down on the couch and began starring up at the ceiling as Soko came up and laid on my lap while I began petting her head again. I noticed she really liked that.

"Just like a dog." I said chuckling a bit. A few peaceful minutes passed as they were interrupted when Akane, Holland, Kamin and Kevin burst into the building. My head snapped up looking over at the commotion.

"Jeez, where's the fire at you four." I said chuckling a bit.

"You're the fire. We were wondering where the hell you went off to. Seeing as you shouldn't be walking around yet." Holland stated

"Mischa said I was fine to walk around, thank you very much. Did she not tell you?" I asked

"I guess it slip her mind." Holland stated sounding rather annoyed

"I guess it did." I said sounding very lazy at the moment.

"While I'm here Shawn I want you to come to hand to hand combat training with me tomorrow at 0800 hours. I want to see how good your muscle memory is." Holland stated as I shrugged.

"Alright, nothing better to do." I stated

"Shawn, come watch the sunset, please?" Akane asked

"Sure." I said standing up and walking over to the group.

"YAY!" Akane said happily as I chuckled.

"That thing always had a liking to you, Shawn." Holland stated

"I see, so she's another friend I had before dying." I said as I patted her head again

"Thanks for being my friend again" I said to her not expecting a reply but she did rub up against the side of my leg. We all walked out of the building and sat down on the grassy small hill that was on base. We began watching the sunset as the sun slowly went under the horizon as the sky colors slowly darkened till you could see the stars now.

"Anyways I'm going to head to bed. It was fun today." I said giving a corny smile as I stood up.

"Besides causing us to worry about you, it was fun." Kamin replied and Kevin agreed.

"Shawn instead of sleeping on the Gekko Go would you be willing to room with us in building 30?" Kamin asked

"Sure I don't see why not." I said "So where am I staying in that place then?" I asked

"There's a room the size of Holland's room you'll be staying in." Kamin stated

"Ah some leg room will be nice!" I exclaimed

"Oh Akane did you and your family members get a room as well?" I asked

"Yes we did. We're staying in building 30 as well and near your room." Akane replied happily

"Ah okay. That's good. No sneaking into my room missy." I said winking at her joking as I normally do. This got a good rile out of her as she began blushing then stormed off towards her bedroom while I sat there laughing really hard as the others just shook their head. The others were wondering when Shawn was going to notice that Akane took an interest in me as more than a friend but they decided on waiting for him to figure it out.

"See you tomorrow Shawn." Holland stated as he walked off in his usual cool demeanor.

"We're still not tired Shawn. Do you want to stay up a bit longer and talk?" Kamin asked as Kevin agreed with Kamin.

"Sure I don't see why not but can we do this in my bedroom?" I asked

"I don't see why not." Kevin said looking at Kamin as she nodded her head. So we decided to head to where my room was as we passed by a kitchen in the building. I immediately stopped in my tracks and backed up a bit.

"There's a kitchen in here too! Man these coralians are really living it up." I said chuckling as Kamin was also laughing at how my personality was still the same from when I was alive. I went into the kitchen grabbing some snacks for us.

"Alright mission accomplished! Let's go feast upon these chips I have found." I said dramatically loud, a little bit too loud. As Kamin now began laughing as did Kevin.

"He's good at entertaining." Kevin managed to say.

"Why thank you kind sir. I'll be the Jester here on these grounds." I said bowing a bit as I heard someone else chuckle a bit. I turned around to see a female human form coralian had come out of her room to see what the commotion was.

"You're funny, Shawn." She said

"Thanks." I said showing a goofy smile scratching the back of my head.

"Alright ready to go guys?" I asked as they all nodded just then the girl tugged on my sleeve.

"Can we all come as well?" She asked as I looked around and noticed a few heads were poking out from the rooms looking intently at me.

"Sure, all of you are welcome to come!" I said excitedly as they all smiled. We all started walked to my room as Kevin and Kamin were walking next to me looking quite amazed about something.

"What's up you two?" I asked

"I'm surprised you managed to get them to show that much emotion. We've always had trouble doing that." Kevin stated as Kamin nodded her head in agreement.

"Um, I'm just being myself. Usually my friends are amused with me when this personality comes out." I said

"So what other personalities do you have?" Kevin asked

"I have a serious personality that sorta gives me a scary look as well. I have my caring personality that usually comes out when someone needs to be comforted. I have my dark personality that you don't want to see but I'm sure you'll see it eventually." I stated. I could tell Kevin didn't like what I said about the dark personality but didn't say anything about it. We finally reached my room.

I opened the door to what was going to be my new home. I was really surprised on how big the room was. It looked to be a little bigger then Hollands and had a square shape to the room. There was a king sized bed, a 3 cushion couch with two recliners and a nice radio. There was an empty bookshelf and when I looked out the window I noticed from where it was I could see the sunset each evening!

"This is perfect." I said happily. I flopped down on the bed to see how comfortable it was. It felt like I landed on clouds. It was very comfortable. I sat up and motioned for everyone else to come in.

"You act like a kid, Shawn." A red headed girl said.

"Thank you Akane. I love being my kidlike self." I said with a wide grin as she was the last one to walk into the room.

A few hours went by as all of us were talking about random subjects like we normally do but the coralians asked a lot about me, where I came from, the life I had before I came to this world and what I experienced while I was here the first time although I couldn't answer all the questions due to my memory lapse but still had fun telling stories. Eventually everyone became tired and left for the night, bidding me a good night as Akane was the last one to leave shutting the door behind her. I flopped down on my new bed and slowly drifted off to sleep for the night.

The next morning came as the sun shone into my bedroom waking me up. I looked over at the clock and noticed I had twenty minutes to get ready and out to the hanger where Holland was. I quickly jumped out of bed throwing on whatever cloths I could find then barreling out of my room towards kitchen grabbing an apple as I began running down the hall.

"MOVE IT, I'M LATE!" I yelled as everyone in the hall cleared outta my way as I bounded down stairs and out of the entrance of the building. I managed to make it to the hanger with only being five minutes late. I entered in as Holland turned around looking at me with his usual look.

"Sorry I'm late Holland. I forgot to set my alarm." I said chuckling a bit as he shook his head.

"Sit over there Shawn." Holland ordered as I nodded and sat to where Holland pointed.

"Alright everyone. You're in store for a treat today. I want to see what Shawn remembers on hand to hand combat so you all get to see us in action." Holland stated as I had a very dreadful feeling about this while everyone gave this excited cheer.

"Alright Shawn stand over there and we'll begin." Holland ordered as I stood up and got into place. I noticed Soko had floated in and was now watching as well. She seemed very interested in what was going on as her eyes never left me. Holland then got into stance seven feet away from me. A few seconds later Holland charged at me as he took a swing at me while I barely dodged it on reflex alone. He again came at me with a leg sweep as I jumped up and swung my leg in the same motion towards Hollands head as he quickly rolled back as I began to chase after him he did a hand stand then twirled his feet in air almost hitting me as I came to stop and back away a few steps tripping over my own two feet. Holland stopped twirling and quickly got to his feet charging at me as his fist extended and was about to collide with my face until it happened. My mind went blank and instinct took over. Soko and the others didn't miss this either as an aura could now be seen emitting from me and you could easily see my red veins streaked to the center of my iris till the only thing showing was red on the outside and black in the center. My reflexes and speed were increased as I quickly dodged Holland's fist then immediately picked him up and throw him across the room as he barely managed to land safely. Holland to say the least was actually feeling scared for once. Holland took a stance and was ready to defend himself.

"SHAWN SNAP OUT OF IT NOW!" Holland yelled at me but I didn't hear him.

I began rushing at him but I never reached Holland as Soko bolted from her spot with as much speed, if not more then what I posses, hitting me dead center in the chest and knocking me across the room as I hit the wall hard and collapsed on the ground. The aura faded and my eyes returned to normal as I was now unconscious.

"Sir, are you alright?" one of the trainees asked

"Fine." Holland answered

"Has this ever happened before?" Another asked

"This is the first time. You two carry him to where Mischa medical bay is on base." Holland ordered as the trainees did as they were told.

"Class is dismissed for the day." Holland stated as everyone but the two trainees dispersed. The other two trainees carrying Shawn and Holland headed to where Mischa was at. When they entered Mischa got a very surprised look to see Shawn passed out yet again.

"Holland, explain." Was all that Mischa said as he began explaining what happened after the end of it Mischa began thinking on why he would act like that.

"I imagine since he died and came back to life his instincts kick in the moment things get too serious and he has to rely on his instincts. I suggest training him to control that side so this doesn't happen." Mischa suggested as Holland nodded. A few minutes later Rya, Akane and Kamin rushed into the room asking what had happened as Holland began to explain the situation, Akane's brothers and sister also rushed in wondering what had happened as he gave this very annoyed expression for the interruption.

"If all of you will shut up I'll tell you." Holland grumpily stated as everyone became really quiet and repeated what happened and the reason why it happened according to Mischa's Theory. Once he was done everyone was silent.

"Are you okay Holland?" Rya and Kamin asked

"I'm fine. My hard headedness isn't for show ya know." Holland stated trying to make a joke but came out too serious as usual.

"That's good." Rya and Kamin replied

"So is Shawn alright?" Akane asked

"Yes, he's fine. He only passed out due to exhaustion and from being hit dead on by the other coralian." Mischa stated

"What Coralian?" Akane asked sounding very angry for it hitting Shawn.

"That one." Mischa pointed as it was floating next Shawn at the present moment.

"Don't do anything to it Akane. That coralian saved my life and probably Shawn's as well. You should be thanking it." Holland sternly stated as Akane backed off immediantly but didn't like being ordered.

'Grumpy old man. I bet he gets none from his woman.' Akane thought as she was laughing on the inside at her own comment.

"I have other things to do then babysit." Holland said as he walked out of the room waving.

"I DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER!" Akane yelled back as Holland closed the door.

"Yes you do." Holland said as he quickly closed the door again then walked off leaving a fuming Akane behind.

"I want to punch him right now!" Akane said sounding extremely annoyed.

"Settle down Akane. It's not worth getting upset over." Rya stated in his usual tone.

"Hmph." Akane said then walked to the chair that was next to Shawn's bed as she sat down and waited patiently for Shawn to wake up. As everyone else did the same. Eventually all of them fell asleep again. About a half an hour later a short black haired woman walked in looking around the room and seeing that everyone was asleep.

"It's nice to see Gonzy brought Shawn back." Black haired woman quietly said as she walked over to Shawn and gently placed her palm on his forehead as a dim green light illuminated from her hand for a few seconds then faded as she quietly walked out of the room without anyone waking.

A/N: I'm finally back and plan on finishing this story sooner than later =D.
