Disclaimer: I own neither pikmin nor its characters

Prologue

Hi again! Yep, it's Alex. My documents got lost from my last adventure, but I have these, and I'm making sure they stay protected. Olimar returned, looking for treasure, and he had brought Luie with him. I met 2 new pikmin: purples and whites, and had to unite them so they wouldn't fight. The leaders I choose were named Wieghter (for lack of a better name), and toxic. I don't know either of their real names, but purples are heavy-weights, with Wieghter being dumber than the others, and whites are hyperactive, with toxic having a lower attention span. Lilly showed up once or twice, ecstatic over something she wouldn't tell me, but she never stayed long, nor would she go into many of the caves. Anyways, after Olimar saved the company, I had to save Luie, and I got to meet the president, then they disappeared again. Before they went, I told them there was more treasure, and Olimar, backed by the president, promised that he would be back. I waited days, weeks, even months, but he didn't return. Eventually I had to move to keep up with the bulborbs. I heard footsteps every once in a while, and I assumed Lilly was keeping up, but I could never see her. The creatures developed, and I had no clue where any of my friends were, and Lilly had long since stopped following, if she was ever following at all. One day, as I was playing with Bulby's caretaker, I accidentally hit his eye. Normally this wouldn't do much, but this time he freaked out. I was launched off his back, and thrown into a wall. The last thing I remember was seeing a ship that I didn't recognize fly across the sky…

After thinking about how few chapters there would be after shortening cave time, I decided it best to stick with pikmin 3 as my sequel. My prologues are usually short because all they are is setting up the scene, not much is really going on. I did modify the prologue before posting it so that I could add a few characters latter. Originally, I was going to make this a year after Olimar first crashed, but instead, I made the story a collaborative story with 'XxFire-IcexX'. This is the sequel to 'The World Beneath Us', and the prequel to 'The Final Voyage'. This is set 5 years after the first story, so Alex is 20. Another change from the previous story is perspective, the perspective will change depending on where each character is. As usual, remember: I love criticism of all kind, and reviews encourage me. Due to the fact that this is a collaborative story, I'm not entirely sure how open to input I'll be, but I'll try to fit in as many ideas as I can! Stay tuned for more!
