Chapter 15: A New Day, A New Lesson
It was new day. Nem Star had fully recovered after a night of sleep, even though it was a terrible night inside his mind. As soon as Nem entered the room, all the Starmen started speaking to him.

"Hola, Nem!"

"Oh. Hi, Samuel."

"You okay, Nem?"

"I'm fine. Thanks, Wanzen."

"Don't get yourself killed, Nem. We all need you."

"I'll be fine, Redef."

Nem suddenly realized what just happened. He turned to face Redef.

"Redef?"

"What? I'm not allowed to be considerate?"

"No, you just were never nice to me before."

"I'm just checking to see if you're okay. You're didn't get Earthbound on Earth, did you?"

Nem chuckled.

"Still the same, eh Redef?"

"Same as always, Nem."

Nem walked to his friends. Rimia immediately spoke.

"Hi Nem. Are you feeling better?"

"Uh, I'm fine. Thanks."

Ajuni patted Nem on the back.

"That's good to hear, man."

Emet poked Nem.

"How did you recover that quickly?"

"I don't know."

Ajuni had the urge to answer that question, but he kept his knowledge to himself. Suddenly, General Naiot appeared. He was in his shiny gold armor, and he had a silver sword. Everything was going back to normal for Nem.

"Starmen! Come!"

The chrome Starmen huddled around General Naiot.

"Last afternoon, we all revealed what we learned on our missions. However, Nem was not with us. We shall not restate everything we learned, but we will let Nem state what he learned. Nem, please come."

Nem walked up to the platform General Naiot was on. The platform was almost like a small stage.

"On Earth, I learned many things. I learned two psychokinetics. I guess I'll show them now."

Nem put his hands on his head.

"PK Thunder Theta!"

Two thunderbolts launched out of Nem's head.

"And then there is this new one. PK ROCKIN' OHM!"

The entire inside of the Starmen Federation HQ lost its color. General Naiot realized that he was no longer shining gold.

"Hurry up, Nem. I want my gold color back!"

Nem put his hands in a triangle shape and launched a barrage of colorful triangles out of them. When Nem was done, the color was restored. The other Starmen, including Redef, applauded.

"And, I also obtained a food called a PK Caramel that recovers some psychokinetic energies. And I met two psychokinetic masters who…"

General Naiot, who's gold brilliance returned, put his hand on Nem's shoulder.

"You don't need to share that."

Nem went back into the crowd of chrome Starmen, now feeling depressed once again. General Naiot raised his sword in the air.

"Please welcome our guest, Fuoiyu!"

The main door opened and a fairly small pink UFO entered the room. The UFO had a blue ribbon on its head. The UFO also had two black eyes. The UFO looked at General Naiot and beeped.

"Fuoiyu, thank you for coming."

Fuoiyu's voice was high-pitched and feminine.

"Thank you for inviting me, General Naiot."

"Starmen, Fuoiyu and her brigand of UFOs will be training you in the art of defensive psychokinetics. You will make a power shield for you to protect yourself from fire from the UFOs. If you get severely wounded, the UFOs will not fire at you. Do not use other Starmen as shields. Fuoiyu, would you like to continue?"

"Thank you, General Naiot. I will start you off against one UFO."

A chrome UFO, smaller than Fuoiyu, entered the room. It had two black eyes as well.

"Begin."

Immediately, all Starmen created a psychokinetic shield. The one UFO started shooting at the Starmen with a large red beam. The red beam hit many of the shields, but none gave in.

"Next UFO."

A second UFO, looking exactly like the first, floated into the room. This UFO shot at the Starmen as well. Their shields were too powerful.

"Three more UFOs, please."

Three more UFOs floated into the room. The five UFOs started shooting the Starmen randomly. One shield broke. As soon as that happened, all the UFOs shot at the open Starmen until he passed out.

"There goes Kyuku…"

The five UFOs tried to break other shields, but were not successful. General Naiot called out.

"Too boring! Will the other 45 UFOs enter the room?"

All the Starmen gasped as 45 more chrome UFOs entered the room. None of them were shooting. Fuoiyu spoke.

"These 50 UFOs, along with me, will fire at you."

Suddenly, every single UFO shot at the Starmen. Many shields broke quickly. Nem's shield broke and he was shot down.

"NEM!"

The remaining Starmen were Emet, Ajuni, Rimia, Redef, and Samuel de Amigo.

"Full power!"

The UFOs shot their beams faster than before. Emet and Ajuni were knocked out immediately. Now, only Rimia, Redef, and Samuel de Amigo remained. The 51 UFOs broke up evenly to fight the Starmen. Each Starmen had to hold their own against 17 UFOs. Rimia's shield suddenly broke, and she was knocked out.

Only Redef and Samuel de Amigo remained. Redef kept his shield up by shielding out all other distractions. Samuel de Amigo kept his shield up by singing to forget the outside world.

"Go, go, go! Aller, aller, aller!"

Suddenly, Redef's shield cracked. It was still sustained, but it was cracked. The UFOs started firing at top speed at Redef. His shield broke and he fell to the ground. When Samuel realized he was the last Starmen, he put his shield down and danced.

"I am the victor! Go, go, go! Aller, aller, aller!"

Suddenly, Fuoiyu shot Samuel and he passed out on the floor.

"A lesson for you, young Starman. NEVER put your guard down. He, he, he!"

After the day was done, General Naiot and King Ochun were conversing in King Ochun's office.

"King Ochun, no! Nem almost died and you want me to send another to Earth!?"

"Yes, General Naiot."

"I've agreed with you on everything, but I cannot agree with you on this!"

"General Naiot, I know that what happened to Nem pains you, but this is for the better of the Starmen."

"You really wish to send another Starman to Earth?"

"Yes."

"…Very well, tomorrow I'll give those orders to that Starman."

"Thank you, General Naiot. Good night."

"Good night, King Ochun."
