Olimar was a busy fellow. He was busier than most people knew. He was a captain after all! He wasn't just here on a vacation. He came here to try and scope out treasure to take back home. Somehow, his company went bankrupt... again. His boss seriously needed to stop taking loans from the loan shark place. Right now, Olimar was researching different objects and plant life that he found on his many trips. He was in a garden outside the mansion. His pikmin were running around as well. It looked like they were playing tag or something. In his hand, he had a series of pictures and words on several pieces of paper and bound with a smooth and sturdy material that felt similar to a piece of paper. They called it a book. The page was on a red circular object with a brown stem and a green leaf on the stem. The book called it an apple but he knew it as the insect condo. These names were strange indeed but he had to learn them. People always got confused when he started using his names for things.
He rubbed the back of his neck. He'd been studying almost nonstop for a couple of hours. His neck was starting to hurt. He got up and stretched. He yawned loudly and woke up a sleeping white pikmin nearby. The pikmin jumped and glared at Olimar... or at least that's what he think the creature did. He looked at the sun to check the time. It looked to be about dusk. He'd have to be leaving soon. Sure, he wouldn't be harmed but he was used to sleeping early and waking up early.
He chuckled. His wife and children looked at him strangely after he came back and started this sleeping schedule.
He blew his whistle and summoned the pikmin he brought outside. He began to count the pikmin. " One... two... three... four... and five. All of them are here," muttered Olimar. He rubbed his helmet in an attempt to rub his eyes. He started walking to the onions to return the pikmin only... he couldn't find the onions. Olimar sighed and looked at the sun. "Come on with me. You're going to sleep in me and Alph's room," said Olimar. He shuffled to the front door and turned the knob. He pulled open the door and went inside. The pikmin ran inside.
" I'm going to regret this," said Olimar. He shut the door and rounded the pikmin back up before they got into trouble. It would be bad if they bothered any of the larger people. With one fire breath, Bowser could take out most of his pikmin. The red one would be fine but not for long. " All right! Get in a line," commanded Olimar. As requested, they lined up and looked at the captain. " We all know that we're safe here. That doesn't mean that we should be reckless! If you're going to be staying here for the night, you must follow a set of rules," said Olimar. He grabbed a list of rules out of his pockets. " Rule one! Don't mess with the bigger people! As one of the smallest people here, we need to make sure we don't get hurt by them! This includes both of the hands. Rule two! We all need to go to bed early! I don't know what you do in your onions but I have a certain schedule that I follow. Rule three," read Olimar.
The pikmin didn't really care. They didn't really plan things out. They were starting to fall asleep. With every number he said, they gradually grew more and more tired. By the eighth rule, they were asleep. How Olimar didn't notice, they didn't know. They woke up on the last rule.
" ...And finally, rule fifty, do not take off me or Alph's helmet outside of our room! This is very important. We can't survive with oxygen in the air. This group of planets are rich in that toxic gas," said Olimar. He put the list away and looked at the pikmin for the first time in fifty rules. " Do you guys understand," asked Olimar. The pikmin nodded. Olimar smiled at them. " Good. Now, let's go to my room," said Olimar.
The pikmin made sounds of joy and excitement. They followed Olimar into his room. They saw Alph there too. He had his helmet on despite being in their room.
" Hey Olimar. Why'd you bring them here," asked Alph.
" I couldn't find the onion and it was turning dark. I couldn't just leave them outside. They could have gotten into trouble," started Olimar. He closed the door. " At least here I can watch them."
Alph nodded. " I see. Well, it's probably okay then," said Alph.
" I already told them the rules. Don't worry about that. I'm going to bed. Early to bed, early to rise. Since tomorrow's an off day, I'm going to try and look for treasure," informed Olimar. Olimar walked to his bed and took off his helmet. He placed it by his bedside table. He grabbed his blankets and went to bed.
" Just like a Hocotatian. They only think about treasure," mutters Alph. He looked at the pikmin. " Where did your onion go? I thought I saw it outside."
The red pikmin shrugged.
Alph sighed. " Well. I suppose it's fine. Don't do anything stupid," said Alph. He too went to his bed and removed his helmet. He fell asleep.
The red pikmin gathered the other pikmin. A blue, yellow, white, and purple pikmin came to him. He walked to the door and pointed to the knob. The yellow pikmin made a motion that looked like he was opening a door. The red pikmin nodded.
" Ooh," squealed the blue pikmin. He walked to the purple pikmin and pointed to the purple pikmin's hands. He them pointed to his feet. He pointed up. The purple pikmin picked up the blue pikmin and held him in the air. They were tall enough to get to the door. The white pikmin pointed at the door. The purple pikmin walked to the door. The blue pikmin turned the doorknob. Once it did, a loud alarm sounded. Surprised, the purple pikmin dropped the blue one. He fell on his face.
Olimar and Alph suddenly woke up to see the door wide open. They quickly put on their helmets and ran to the open door. While they did this, the pikmin ran out of the room. Even the blue one managed to escape.
" They left! They'll end up running to one of the bigger people," said Olimar.
They ran out the door and through the halls. They ended up waking everyone up by yelling for the pikmin.
" Get off of me," roared Bowser.
Olimar and Alph heard that voice. They ran to where it came from, which was the kitchen. There they saw Bowser being attacked by four pikmin. The purple one stood to the side and was trying to intimidate it. He breathed fire at the pikmin. Every pikmin except the red pikmin caught on fire and was running around. Olimar quickly used his whistle. It calmed them down and put out the fire.
" Olimar! What are these things doing out," asked Bowser. He shook off the last pikmin. Bowser pulled his arm back. Alph whistled the pikmin to his side before Bowser could strike.
" I couldn't find the onion. I just had them stay in my room but they left."
" Didn't you watch them? I mean, these things were a source of trouble in the last tournament too," Bowser pointed out.
" We just need to find the onion. Then we'll be set," insisted Alph.
" You do your own thing. I'm just saying, those things will be destroyed by yours truly if they attack me again.
The red pikmin ran over and kicked Bowser. The other ones came and joined in.
" Okay! That's it!"
He swung his claws at the pikmin. Three pikmin fell to the ground. They got back up and ran back towards Bowser. Alph whistled and brought them back to his side.
" We'll just be going now... bye Bowser," said Alph.
Bowser roared at the Hocotatian, the man from Koppai, and the pikmin as they ran from the giant koopa.
" Get back here! I'm not done with you," roared Bowser.
" Eep," yelled the white pikmin. It ran faster.
Olimar ran through the halls, looking for a door. They found a door on the left of them. He ran faster towards the door and opened it. " In here," yelled Olimar. Alph ran inside with the pikmin and Olimar followed, closing the door behind him. He brought a chair against the door and sat on the chair to keep Bowser from getting in.
" I'll destroy those pikmin of yours Olimar," yelled Bowser. He scratched and clawed at the door but wasn't able to get in. Everyone stopped and gasped for breath.
" Uh... why is he after you," asked a voice behind them. They turned around to see the female villager, Anne. She was the one with pink hair.
" Pikmin... attacked... couldn't... onion...," said Olimar between breaths.
" Onion? Isn't that the vegetable that makes you cry if you cut them? Oh I hate them," said Anne.
Everyone was able to breath almost normally again.
" No. The onion is a pikmin ship," said Alph.
" Ship?" She pulled something out of her pocket that resembled a leaf and placed it on the table. It became a tiny spaceship.
" The Dolphin," exclaimed Olimar. He walked towards the tiny spaceship. " Have we really grown that big? Also, how'd you get my ship," asked Olimar.
" It was a fortune cookie prize."
" That's not an onion."Alph glanced around the room and noticed a large bulbous thing that had a bunch of colors swirling. " The onion! It's outside," said Alph.
The door shook.
" Unlock this door," roared Bowser.
Alph whistled the pikmin and headed to the window. He opened it and jumped. Olimar, noticing the pikmin and Alph leaving, ran to the window and jumped as well. They all landed on the soft grass below.
Bowser pushed the door open. The door unattached itself from the hinges and went flying into the wall.
Anne smiled sheepishly and waved at the giant turtle- like thing.
They all ran towards the onion. They checked behind this every so often to make sure Bowser wasn't coming. They were just a couple of feet away.
Suddenly, Bowser jumped through the wall in front of the onion.
" Thought you'd escape from me that easily? You thought wrong! Number one villain right here," he boasted. " Bwahahaha!" He put on a serious face. " Time to settle this. "
" Uh... you do realize that fighting outside the battlefield isn't allowed because of people getting hurt right," asked Alph.
" I've been here for a while. What could they do to me?"
" Look at Popo and Nana. They got kicked out," said Olimar.
" They were lame anyway." He dismissed the topic. " Now, come at me," yelled Bowser.
Olimar looked at Alph. " Sometimes you have to fight."
" Come on! No talking! Fight me!" Bowser started stomping his feet impatiently.
They didn't move. " I've got an idea. If we attack him now, we'll get in trouble. If he attacks first, we can claim self-defense," whispered Alph.
Olimar nodded. " He's very impatient."
As if on cue, Bowser swung his claws at the empty air. " Come on! Oh... I see, you're going to give me the first attack. Well, you're going to regret it," yelled Bowser. He lunged forward and attacked. He swung at Olimar.
" Okay! I'll take three, and you can pluck another! We need to take him down," yelled Olimar. He barely missed the attack.
Alph nodded in agreement. He pulled a pikmin out of the ground. It was a red pikmin. He was glad that it was this color and not a blue, white, or yellow pikmin. He now had a red pikmin, a white pikmin, and a yellow pikmin. Olimar had a red pikmin, a purple pikmin, and a blue pikmin. They threw the pikmin onto Bowser.
Outside the battlefield, if anyone got into fights, they would have stamina and not a percentage. The pikmin were knocking Bowser's health down faster than he could react. Bowser tried to claw them off but they weren't in claws reach. He fell to the ground and groaned.
" How could you little pipsqueaks beat me," asked Bowser.
" There's that whole stamina thing remember," said Alph.
The pikmin yelled their cries of war and victory. They then grabbed Bowser and headed towards the onion.
" What... are they doing," asked Bowser.
" Uh... pikmin! Let him go," said Olimar. He whistled at the pikmin but they kept walking with the koopa. " Pikmin... stop this!" He blew the whistle again but nothing happened.
" Little man! What are they doing," asked Bowser in an increasingly louder voice. For someone who was out of stamina, he was still loud.
" They're taking you back to their ship... to use you as food," muttered Olimar.
Alph whistled at them. They didn't respond. " And we can't control them," added Alph.
Both Alph and Olimar continued to whistle while Bowser screamed at them to control the pikmin. Before they knew it, everything turned grey. Time stopped and Olimar, Alph, and Bowser. A white hand appeared out of nowhere. It cackled.
" Oh! I got him good!" The hand laughed despite not having a mouth. " Anyway, how's my new entrance? I saw a friend do this so I decided to try it out!" The hand told them.
" Eh. You could do a lot better Crazy." Bowser shrugged.
" It isn't really your style." Olimar agreed with Bowser.
Alph nodded.
" Anyway! Because you started a fight Bowser, this is your punishment! You do it again and Mr. Master will be deciding your fate!" The hand thought of all the wonderful things that Master Hand could do. He laughed maniacally. " He isn't as nice as me! Although he also isn't as fun."
" Oh! That's why our whistles aren't working!"
" Yup! That's also why they left on their own, it's why they teamed up on Bowser, and it's why you couldn't find the onion!"
" You're despicable," groaned Bowser.
" Hey! You struck the luma! That poor star baby. Actually... that wouldn't be a bad cereal. I'd buy it. It would be a fruity cereal shaped like stars with eyes."
" You mean like lumas," asked Alph.
" Yeah! Anyway, I have to go before my brother figures out what I had to do to do this. I'd do the thing that my friend does but... it wouldn't make sense. Bye," yelled Crazy.
Time went back to normal. The pikmin were carrying Bowser to the onion.
" Should we try to help," asked Alph.
" No. He's on his own unfortunately," said Olimar.
" Guys," yelled Bowser.
" Wanna get something to eat," asked Olimar.
" Guys please!"
" What about the pikmin," noted Alph.
" Please! Help me!"
" They'll go back into the onion on their own," said Olimar.
" Oh."
" I'm begging! I don't ever beg but I don't want to become food!"
" I know this great place that sells smoothies," said Olimar.
" Cool! What's that," asked Alph.
They began to walk away, leaving Bowser and the pikmin alone. The pikmin were carrying him as slowly as possible.
" Guys!" Bowser yelled at the two spacemen walking away. " Come back here! I don't want to die! Please," yelled Bowser.
A red star walked by and smirked at the turtle.
" That'll teach you to mess with me and Mamma" said the star.
He walked away. He only looked back to laugh at the koopa.
Done with this one-shot. I hope you guessed where I got Crazy's entrance from. I really hope you do. I really hope you enjoyed that one. It seems like it's better than the first one at least. Anyway, I hope you have a good day! Bye guys!
