Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for! Time to battle the Emperor Bulblax! Will Olimar and Shyacho win... The world grits its teeth in suspense... Or not.
I am thoroughly shocked (not that that takes much). Over 70+ views for this story! Thank you all for continuing to read my slightly entertaining story! I have now gotten through all the caves of Wistful Wild, and I have most of the Cavern of Chaos ready for the typing! Just gotta get Snagret Hole done first...
(p.s. Sorry it's been forever for a new chapter in my main story. I've been quite busy in general, and although I've written blurbs here and there for the first chapter, by the time I get into writing, something comes up. I really am sorry about this. :( )
When Olimar and Shyacho landed in the final sub level, they were met with the familiar sound of fire spouts before the dust around them had settled down. When the dust fell, they looked around in spite of their knowledge of the cave, which was again earthy brown everywhere. Within the cave that was adjacent to their location were Fiddle Heads and wriggling little stalks that seemed to be staring at the two Captains. At the closest side of said cave were the fire spouts, while the far end held a dark bramble gate leading to the exit geyser.
Olimar took their Red Pikmin and had it dispatch the fire spouts, mainly to shut them up. He then entered the arena-like cave with the Fiddle Heads and walked aimlessly toward the stalks. As soon as Olimar had stepped slightly in front of the eyes, the ground burst skyward, and the giant, gaping maw of the Emperor Bulblax surfaced, followed shortly by the rest of its body. Olimar, unimpressed, tossed the Red Pikmin onto it's face as the Bulblax licked its lips, looking forward to a free meal. As the Red Pikmin continued smacking the Bulblax, Olimar ran around it in circles, waiting for it to jump. When the Emperor Bulblax did jump to knock the assailing Pikmin off, Olimar called it back before it could be knocked to the ground. Olimar then ran back a little bit to get some distance, ran slightly to the left of the Bulblax, then quickly turned and threw the Pikmin back onto its face. Again, after a few seconds, the Bulblax jumped, and Olimar again whistled the Pikmin before it could be flung off. Olimar grabbed the Red Pikmin and ran back to Shyacho, who eagerly took the Pikmin, ready for some fun.
Shyacho repeated Olimar's earlier strategy, and soon the Emperor Bulblax jumped again. This was futile, however, and as soon as the Bulblax stood back up, Shyacho tossed the Red Pikmin back onto the Bulblax's face. A few more seconds of abuse caused the Bulblax to give up jumping and instead roar loudly and menacingly. While Shyacho was unfazed, the Red Pikmin was somehow frightened by the roaring and began running aimlessly in circles, trying futilely to run away from sound. Shyacho whistled the Pikmin back and said to it, "Never gonna let it eat you, never gonna be fool-ish!" for whatever reason. The Emperor Bulblax continued to slowly pursue it's prey, and Shyacho swiftly grabbed the Pikmin and dodged an incoming attack. Shyacho then flung the Red Pikmin onto the Bulblax's face and watched from a short distance, waiting for the right moment. The Bulblax prepared to roar, and when it did, the Red Pikmin was knocked to the ground by the force of the sound. Shyacho ran over to the Pikmin and quickly threw it onto the Bulblax as it began to lower its snout. Before long, the Emperor Bulblax convulsed and roared with much less menace than before. As it continued stumbling and slobbering about the place, Shyacho and Olimar jumped for joy at the sight of their victory. The Emperor Bulblax finally fell onto the ground, defeated, and Shyacho then set their Red Pikmin to destroying the bramble gate. As they waited, Olimar and Shyacho took a nap, trusting their ever-present ship pod to make a little chime in their helmets to let them know the task was complete. The ship did, and after waiting a good ten minutes or so, Olimar and Shyacho finally left the Bulblax Kingdom via geyser, after, of course, Shyacho trash-talked the corpse of the Emperor Bulblax.
When they landed back in front of the main hull of their ship, Olimar and Shyacho started exclaiming to the world how fun that was. Shyacho then asked Olimar where they were going to go next.
"Snagret Hole." They both said at the same time.
Talk about a one-sided fight... Then again, it kind of HAD to be a one-sided fight, unless you want me to go through the same cavern twice. In any case, thanks again for all of the reads, readers! It is more than greatly appreciated!
Now, Olimar and Shyacho psych themselves for the conquering of the Snagret Hole. Poor place, what did it ever do to them? Oh, well, the boss should be tedious, at least... OR WILL IT!? Join them to find out.
