DISCLAIMER: I do not own pikmin and this is not a ripoff of Ferahgo's "Pikmin: ---" series.
Here it is, I finally rewrote A Life of War, as promised. Here, I hope to offer a deeper, darker look at the twisted side of war, told from the musings of red pikmin soldiers in the nation of Velosia. I've decided to cut green pikmin, so far. Each chapter will be a little flash into a certain moment, though battles might be longer chapters.

There's always that sickly feeling of nervousness before a battle. Every veteran warrior knows this feeling well; for them, it's just another part of their job. And Tyvern was no exception. An inexperienced soldier, one of the youngest in his unit, the closest thing to battle he had ever experienced was when he got in a fistfight during his seedling years.
But then there was the Captain. His name was B'lard; he'd helped fight more wars than he could count, and he'd just about gotten killing down to a science. His face was a mask of focus, betraying no thought or emotion. The first time that Tyvern saw his face, he thought it had been etched from stone.
He'd been born and trained to kill, without thought, without emotion. Only cold, ruthless brutality.
The Captain was of a rare breed of warrior, capable of deeds of slaughter and leadership undreamed of by the masses. By his hand great champions and countless soldiers had fallen. He had withstood the odds and survived hundreds of battles. The deep-set scars and lines etched into his weathered face were testament to this fact.
But what Tyvern didn't know was that behind that cold, emotionless mask, B'lard was constantly going through countless calculations and thoughts. He had a unit to run, and a duty to do. Velosia, his country, his home, was at war with the nation of Marnam. The fighting had not been going on for very long, but already casualties had been heavy. Despite it's powerful army, the red pikmin of Velosia were outnumbered by the Marnamians. Mistakes had been made; battles had been lost. And now B'lard and his 'min were here to clean up the mess.
