REDO OF THE FIRST CHAPTER!

STILL OWN NOTHING! BUT I WISH I DID!

Alph yawned as he entered the main room of the S.S. Drake.

"Ah Alph! your up earlier today." Brittany was beaming, the Drakes professional herbologist was always a morning person.

"well, now that my crew is finally up and ready! whats our plan for the day?" Captain Charlie was always awake and ready for anything, in fact Alph and Brittany often wondered if he ever slept at all.

" Yesterday we finally gained access to the cliff side area. However, considering that it is unexplored, both of you will take a large squad of Pikmin up there and get rid of any obstacles blocking the path, if you can get all of the obstacles out of the way before the day ends, you can send back any fruit you find."

"What will you be doing Alph?" Brittany asked.

"I'll stay behind and take a smaller force to build our Pikmins numbers even higher, I'll also get rid of any small enemies that may have wandered back into the vicinity."

"Wow Alph, I'm impressed, you should be our strategist AND our engineer. I don't know Where we would be without you Alph." Charlie praised.

"You'd be trapped inside of a monster" Brittany snickered/

"And you'd be in a glass box!" Charlie retorted.

this banter was what made his crew mates so fun to be around, he was glad he was able to come to pnf-404 again. the seeds they brought back the first time failed to grow the same way as on the planet itself. the fruit grew deformities, and was unstable in koppais climate. their mission was to return to pnf-404 and figure out how to make the fruit grow like it was supposed too, and to bring back even more fruit if possible, so far they learned that the fruits grew by absorbing the air and emanating poisonous oxygen into the ecosystem. after reporting the fact to their higher-ups on koppai. it was just another mission for fruit. the fruit they brought back on there first visit was more than bountiful, yet Brittany came up with the idea of cultivating pnf-404. it was working, but very slowly. yet the fruit that was already grown in the wilderness kept them busy.

"so its settled, Charlie and Brittany will scout out the cliff up north, while I stay at the the landing site building our numbers, we land at dawn, I assume your ready?"

with a response of helmets attaching and buttons being pressed, the Drake returned to the surface of the newly familiar pnf-404

"alright, we land at dawn as usual. I believe that we are prepared for todays objectives?." Charlie asked.

"Everything's ready Captain." Alph responded as the Captain got the Ship prepared for Landing.

Alph had 5 pikmin of each color with him, red, rock,yellow, winged, and his personal favorites, blue. with a small squad, Alph was charged with keeping their pikmins numbers up, along with keeping the immediate are clear of the smaller enemies, collecting berries for the super spicy spray. It may not seem like it, but his job was more important than most would think.

"Alph, do you hear me?" Brittany's voice rang through his Kop-pad. "Alph, are you there?"

Alph responded to the transmission "what is it Brittany?"

"Alph we won't be able to clear the Path today, so were going to have to bring the fruit back tomorrow."

"I understand Brittany, I'll stay in contact in case you need any help from over here."

"Actually Alph, there's something we need you to do, we are receiving a signal from this general Area."

His Kop-pad was beeping around a section of unmarked map

"We need you to get whatevers receiving that signal, and bring it to the Drake for further analyzation."

"I can do that no problem Brittany."

"I knew I could count on you Alph, Make sure you stay out of Danger."

"You to Brittany, don't let Charlie do anything stupid!"

Alph had marked His Kop-pad with his destination, he hoped that with such a small group of Pikmin that he would be able to defeat any enemies along the way, Yet Alph was curious, why couldn't the signal be pin-pointed on the Radar, and could he really bring it back with only 25 Pikmin?

Brittany and Charlie are busy clearing out an Area that they haven't explored yet, leaving Alph to find Whatever was broadcasting the signal and bring it back to the Drake, but if he can't pin-point it, can he really pull it off with such a small group of pikmin, or will he flop under the pressure.
