Prologue
"Everything ok? All systems online?"
"Everything's up and running boss, the crew should establish contact within minuets"
"And you're SURE they're ok?"
"They've been to the planet plenty of times; I'm more worried about a fight between-"
"They promised to get along, you know that"
I sighed. The conversation had turned from progress to an almost routine back-and-forth between me and my boss. I'm Alex, a multi-dimensional explorer who was asked to help with a new mission. Usually, I worked on my own, but because of the type of mission, I was working under Olimar's boss (whose name I still couldn't remember), and I managed to convince the Kopites it was ok, and I'd make my own judgment calls.
Oh! Sorry! I should explain the mission! Apparently, the pikmin planet had undergone some serious changes, and someone needed to see what was up, but everyone was too scared…until Olimar contacted me. Olimar, Louie, Alph, Brittany, and Charlie were the captains I chose, and they went in a shuttle days ago. They were supposed to establish communication within the week, or I would have to go down and find them; Alph said he could do it in mere days.
Knowing their history, I didn't trust them on their own, so each captain had a distress beacon on their Koppad, or whatever was the equivalent on Hocotate. I, of course, used a version of my own that was left unnamed. I just called them all Koppad anyways.
After a few more minutes of back-and-forth conversation, the ship alerted me. "I've got to go boss"
"Ok" he replied "just make sure to get back to me in 30 days, or the mission will be deemed as a failure!" the transmission was cut off.
30 days…sounded familiar to me…before I let my thoughts drift too far, I checked the ship and found it picked up a faint signal. My first thought was that it was the signal I had been waiting for, until I noticed interference. That wasn't a Kopite or Hocotatian signal...but before I could investigate, it cut off…and was replaced by a distress signal from the shuttle.
I hurried to the controls and set course. If the shuttle had sent a distress signal, that meant it had crashed, and THAT meant so had its passengers!
Which meant it was time to spring into action.
Hi everyone, and welcome to my newest story! For those of you who somehow don't know, I've been gone for a LONG time, the reason why being I had lost my interest. If you REALLY wana know more, you can look at my profile or send me a PM, for those of you who already know you can be sure I've got my inspiration back, at least for now. With Pikmin 4 coming up sometime (hopefully) soon, you can be sure there will be another story in the future, but for now, enjoy this interesting story full of new concepts in the pikmin world! Also, a special thanks to "Ori Turbo" who gave me this idea! Remember, I love criticism, Reviews encourage me, and I'm open to input! Bye for now!
