Olimar: Legoman727 does not own Pikmin, (planteus hiveus, if anyone's interested)
Me: --o
Olimar: But he does own Artemis, Holly, Kararos, the Red Pikmin Lord, and the Naz'kra.
Me: Anywho, here's Chapter 2, and remember, any flames will be used to cook some Bulbmin Nuggets.
Pikmin 3: Wrath of the Shadows
Chapter 2: Training Day
Day 1, The Valley of Repose...
The Serenity and the Dolphin landed in a snowy plain. Olimar hopped out of the Dolphin, while the others came out of the Serenity. (A/N, the Serenity is a bit like a transport ship, complete with decks and fun stuff like that, so it can hold more than 2 people.)
"So, where to?" Artemis asked, stretching his legs.
"North." Olimar said, checking his maps. And off they went, unaware that they were being watched...
"Masssster, they have arrived." A dark, raspy voice. "Good, follow them, for now..."
Our heroes soon reached a 3 way junction. To the north, a huge, poison surrounded wall. To the east, a gargantuan ice block, preventing anyone from getting by. That left the west. After a few minutes of travel, our heroes soon heard noises of fighting. They hurried along and found 5 Red Pikmin brawling with a Dwarf Red Bulborb.
Olimar pulled out his whistle. "Lesson 1, use whistles to call and command Pikmin!" He yelled out, and demonstrated. "Next lesson, kill enemies with Pikmin tosses or by swarming them! Dwarf Bulborbs are best slain by tosses!" Olimar yelled out in between grabbing and throwing. The beast died, and Holly excitedly watched as the Pikmin carried off the corpse.
"They're so cute!" She cried out. "Er.. sorry..." The group followed the pikmin all the way to the Red Onion.
"What's going on? There should be hundreds of Pikmin, not 5!" Olimar cried out.
"Devastation from the shadows." An old voice said. "There was a large red with a slightly withered leaf and a red staff. "I am the Red Pikmin Lord." The surprised heroes walked up to the lord. As for the Pikmin, they absent-mindedly collected the nearby pellets.
"Olimar, you have returned to our planet just in time. A race of shadow beasts called the Naz'kra have come to our planet, and caused massive destruction to the planet. The Pikmin population has been devastated, and we believe that they plan on...GAH!" The Red Pikmin Lord crumpled down the the ground.
A dark monster stood behind him. It had an egg-like body with a creepy orange eye in the center. It had very long legs on the bottom of the "egg" and two arms, one on each side. The right arm ended in a dagger where the hand should have been, as for the left arm, it had a claw. And except for the eye, its entire body was dark-purple.
Kararos quickly reacted with a sword slash, but the monster parried the blow. They joined into a sword fight. It looked like Kararos was about to win, as he sliced into the beast's eye, but the sword went right through it! "What!"
The shadow laughed and took off north. But before they could gather their forces, a raspy voice called out.
"See..k.. the Bl...a..ck.. Pi..k.min.." The Red Pikmin Lord's final words before he fell to the ground once more. His body disintegrated and he became a ghost, and his spirit floated away, Holly wiped a tear from her eye as they gathered the new, flowered Pikmin, 20 in all, and followed the shadow, probably one of the Naz'kra, north.
With night two hours away, they found a wall. Olimar demonstrated how to use the Pikmin to knock it down and they found a treasure. As the Pikmin carried it away, Artemis laid a beacon next to the Red Onion.
"So we can land here tomorrow and cut down on travel time." He explained.
"Come on, the Pikmin are here, and night's about to fall, get over here!" The Dolphin radioed them, and they headed back, and lifted off.
Treasure: Green Giant, 280 pokos. (A gamecube controller A button)
"Master, the Red Pikmin Lord is dead." "Good, tomorrow, follow them underground, and do the same for Olimar, and his band of fools."
End day...
Pokos: 280/40000
Pikmin
Red: 20
