Disclaimer: I don't own Pikmin or any Kingdom Hearts or Star Trek references that may crop up. Those belong to Nintendo and Square Enix/Disney and Paramount Pictures.

This is my first story so be nice. The Kingdom Hearts references come from an OC of mine who is a Keyblader. There aren't enough elements to warrant placing this in the crossover section, though. The Star Trek ones are due to the fact that I use warp drive as the way that all races in my stories go FTL, unless stated otherwise.

Pikmin 1.5 Chapter 1: Day 0

"Sometimes life just isn't fair," sighed the young man as he walked along. "For all the awesomeness that the Keyblade can provide me, without a ship, I'm just sunk."

Perhaps a description would suffice better than a lament. The young man was a 15, almost 16-year-old with black hair and brown eyes. He stood at 5'10" and was holding in a sheath on his back a strangely shaped sword. The sword's hilt was shaped like a heart, while the blade extended forward from the center and ended with a gilded heart on the blunt end above an upside-down crown on the sharp end. On the other end, there was a star shaped pendant attached to the bottom of the hilt.

This was Chronos Hikari, a Keyblade Master of Earth, although that was not his true name. What that name is is another story, though.

"I have to get myself a ship," he mumbled to himself, "lest I wind up stranded on this CO2 breathing world forever." Yes, by a twist of fate, our brave Keyblader had somehow ended up on Planet Hocotate, home to Captain Olimar of Hocotate Shipping.

His first test run in a ship he cobbled together himself launched light-years away from his home. Now stranded, he hoped to find a ship he can use to get back. He was just going to try looking around the bay for a shop, when a seedy man with squinty black eyes (not that you could tell at first look) and flame-red hair appeared in front of him.

The man was 3 feet tall, dressed in a coal black suit and had a sharp pointed beard, along with the signature pointed ears of all Hocotatians. "Hello," he said in what he no doubt thought was a cheerful and trusting voice, although to our hero, it had the opposite effect, "I am Wobser, of the Black Hole Junk Shop. You seem to be searching for a ship, I understand?"

Chronos was instantly on guard; he had only made that statement under his breath half a minute ago, and this man had not been in sight at all.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I am. Are you attempting to sell me one?" he evenly asked while at the same time, reaching back for the Keyblade. "Why yes," Wobser replied, "We have a ship we recently obtained through a...business deal. It's in good condition and has a cruise speed of warp 9.5 for 3 hours."

Chronos started; that WAS a pretty good deal, even if the man had smirked while talking about the business deal. Something like this was too good to be true, though. "What's the catch?" the black-haired warrior asked slowly.

"No catch, just pay 100 pokos and it's yours," the businessman said. "Deal!" Chronos replied. After all, even if this guy was trying to swindle him, he knew enough about engineering to put together a decent enough ship out of a frame.

-4 hours later...-

"Well, this is actually a pretty good ship," he remarked, "It seems that it'll be good enough to get me home. But for some reason the navigational and library computers haven't been wiped as per intragalactic code. These coordinates show the location of a strange planet filled with strange creatures. And the journal in the library shows a whole bunch of species there, including these 'Pikmin' that this Captain Olimar befriended."

Chronos grinned, "Sounds like a place for some real fun! I think I'll go there myself."

And so that is how our brave hero first set course for Planetius Distantes. What new creatures and Pikmin will he discover as he learns the tricks of the trade of commanding a Pikmin battalion? Yes, what will he do?

Pretty nice intro so far, huh? R & R if you like, and I want ideas for the different areas and enemies. I already have the Pikmin types planned out, but I'd like ideas, including whether or not I should use canon areas or create my own.
