Day One - The Explosion Site
The sun began to peak in the east. It was sunrise. The ferocious nocturnal animals of planet pikmin were resuming their rest. The silver onion made its way back to the surface. It landed in the spot where Olimar's ship had previously rested, in the middle of the forest about a mile away from the beach. Out of it came five of the six survivors of the catastrophic explosion that occurred during the battle the previous day. To the pikmin's horror, the red, yellow, and blue onions had been completely destroyed. Having been on the surface all night, they were destroyed by the horrid creatures that emerge each night.
"Oh no!" said the red pikmin, "Our onions are destroyed! How will we reproduce?"
"Calm down, Red," replied the blue pikmin, apparently a female, "We'll think of something."
"Azula, there's only three onions in existence, and now they're gone!" replied Red.
"We'll find a way to survive," said the purple pikmin.
"That's easy for you to say, Purp, you come from flowers!" argued Red.
"Your onions are just important to us as they are to you. I was a red pikmin once," replied Purp.
"And I used to be yellow," added the white pikmin.
"Yeah, me and Tox were spawned together," said the yellow pikmin.
"You tell him, Static," said White.
"You all seem fairly calm considering we're the last of our species," said Red.
"What about this onion?" asked Purp, referring to the silver onion above them.
"I wonder…" said Azula, "Let's check it out. Red, Static, Tox, you're the fastest. Try to get some pellets. Purp and I will stay here."
"Fine," replied Red, "Come on guys." He lead Static and Tox away from the onion.
Suddenly, the silver pikmin emerged from the onion. It floated on its wings for a few moments before landing in the midst of Blue and Purp. It looked curiously at them.
"Hey, it's the silver pikmin," said Purp.
"I've never seen any of you before," said Azula, "What's your name?"
"S-Silvia," replied the nervous silver pikmin, apparently a female.
"I forgot all about you," said Purp, "I saw you yesterday during the battle, but not when we got in the onion."
"Yeah, that's odd," said Azula, "I didn't see you at all last night."
"Sorry, I was really scared," replied Silvia.
"That doesn't make much sense," said Azula.
"When I'm scared I turn invisible."
"Turn invisible?" asked Purp.
"That must be her pikmin power," said Azula, "Stealth."
"I wish I have a pikmin power," said Purp.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Red can withstand heat, Static is immune to electricity, you can breathe underwater, Tox is immune to poison, and Silvia can fly AND turn invisible. I got nothing."
"You have ten times as much strength as any other pikmin. I'd say that's pretty impressive."
"I guess…"
Silvia interrupted, "Where are the others?"
"Oh, I forgot all about them," replied Azula, "I sent them to get some stuff."
"I wonder how they're doing," said Purp.
Meanwhile, the others furiously attacked the stem of a flower. "This was so much easier when Olimar just threw us," said Static.
"Olimar's dead, we all saw it happen," said Red, "As is the rest of our kind."
With one final strike, the flower collapsed, letting a red pellet down. Red, Static, and Tox grabbed hold and began to make their way back to the onion.
On the way back, they stepped over a large, blue rock in the ground with two large red circles. It wasn't a rock, it was a cloaking burrow-nit. It emerged from the ground, ready to feast. The three pikmin had seen and killed many a cloaking burrow-nit in the past. Immediately, they went on the offensive. Static hurled himself atop the monster's shell and began to attack furiously, unaware that the shell was immune to his attacks. Tox, who knew the danger of an animal's mouth, ran to the back and began to strike, unaware that his attacks were doing nothing. Red, however, knew the shell's strength and began striking at the face.
All of this was taking place within sight of the silver onion.
Azula turned to see her three companions fighting the cloaking burrow-nit. "Ah!" she yelled.
Purp turned, "What is it-HOLY SHIT!"
Immediately, Azula and Purp hustled to the fight. Silvia followed on her wings.
