Chapter 2
Destruction of the Tower
"How can we trust you "E"?" the officers said suspiciously.
"You don't have to officers. You can believe me or not," and just like that the Pikmin hung up.
Captain Ironic Eraser stood on the very top of the Tower of the Pikmin. He gazed upon the night sky, looking above the whole city. "It's quiet," he said. He looked around himself. "I should say, TOO quiet." The Tower of the Pikmin was a 300 floor building. From its weight, five times it has tumbled and been remade. After a series of importing stronger materials from other Pikmin countries, it was finally reinforced with mainly every thing you could use to build a building: wood, bricks, stones, and metal.
Millions of criminals who've tried to do this have failed. They've tried everything from bombs, cartoon bombs, grenades, rockets, suicide plane crash, the works. Although many of those criminals were ordinary Pikmin, on the other hand, Captain Eraser was a super hero. A few minutes later he had finished planting a special bomb inside the building. Just as he makes his exit, he hears a blood curling scream. Captain Eraser then springs into action. A nearby alley is where they always are, thought Captain Eraser.
And right he was. Green law enforcers were out there in the alley, and they were actually harassing on the job! Were they drunk, or were these real orders. It didn't matter anyway because they were beating up the guy. "Hold it right there," Captain Eraser cried heroically. The officers turned around. Their looks weren't dumbfounded as the Captain expected them to be. They were actually serious.
"What are you doing to this innocent bystander?" The Captain asked.
"Orders from the top," an officer replied.
"Any kids up this late should be executed," the second recited.
"Well that's just idiotic," Captain Eraser remarked.
"Hey! No one makes fun of the top like THAT!" the first cried.
"Oh," Captain Eraser said, "should it be more in the lines of: YOU guys are idiotic."
"Alright that's it," the first said roughly. "You're busted!"
Immediately the officers took out their oddly shaped guns. "Hands up!" the second commanded. Captain Eraser looked at the guns and laughed. The guns were shaped as flowers. Truth is, they were flowers, white ones too.
"What are you gonna do? Make me sneeze?" the captain teased. The officers smiled and pressed the trigger hidden beneath their camouflaged hands. Instantly the flower spat out fire and enveloped our hero. After a few minutes, they were done blasting Captain Eraser with a flower, he was gone. The officers checked around them but nobody was there. Then suddenly they heard someone sneeze. Slowly they looked above and there was Captain Eraser aloft a pole. "You're right," he started. "It did make me sneeze." Then without hesitation Captain Eraser grabbed both of the officer's heads and joined them together. The officers then collapsed, knocked unconscious. "E," the Captain muttered.
"Wh-Wh-Who are you?" a voice behind him asked. It was the kid he saved.
"It would be overly long if I told you," the Captain replied.
"Nah, it's alright. I have time," the kid Pikmin replied.
He was a purple pikmin, and shorter than a usual sized Pikmin, buy hey, he's a kid.
"Are you good with words my dear Pikmin?" Captain Eraser asked.
"I guess," the kid Pikmin said.
The next sections of this story is overly long, so if you wish to read this you may do so, but if you do not I suggest you skip the introduction.
"In the Vastness of the Universe came a blue Pikmin protected in an energy ball. This Pikmin was small and considerably cute, due to the fact it was cuddled tightly into a sky blue blanket. So there it was drifting into space while dozens of comets, having no manners at all, attacking the defenseless sphere but finding it recoiled into each other. While stuck in an energy ball, the Pikmin was bored to his insignificant mind so he decided to educate himself with books randomly found in the energy ball.
"Thus the Pikmin realized the true meaning of his life: to protect the Earth with his dear life. Ergo he had to think of a name. He first started out with "Ironic" but that wasn't enough. Why? Because when you get your ID card they'll need your full name. So he thought until he was passing his 14th galaxy. Then it hit him, literally. He finally landed on Earth and that was when he was twenty-seven years old. And the first thing he saw on Earth was an eraser."
When he finished it was like in the afternoon. Sure it wasn't that long, but this hero said it like 50 minutes a word. The kid Pikmin had already been sleeping. "It is my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me, CAPTAIN IRONIC ERASER!" The emphasis woke the kid Pikmin immediately. "And whom," Captain Eraser asked, "am I speaking with?" The kid Pikmin looked up at Captain Eraser with the sun shining at his face. "I'm Pete," the kid Pikmin replied. "It's a great honor to meet you Pete," the Captain said politely. "Would you like to see an explosion?" Pete stood up and said, "Sure." Captain Eraser smiled. "Then come with me, to the rooftop!"
It was spectacular weather that day. Cars beeping unnecessarily, birds chirping loudly, gunshots at the bank, oh it was paradise this day.
"What you're about to see might be under-aged for a Pikmin your age," Captain Eraser said.
"That's alright," Pete said. "I'm fourteen."
"Ah, the right age," Captain Eraser sighed. "This explosion is PG-13."
He slowly lifted up one hand and started to sway them like a maestro.
"What are you doing?" Pete asked
"Conducting," our hero replied.
Suddenly as if it was true enough (although it wasn't) Pete started hearing music. It sounded very strong, a vibrant masterpiece. Although nobody could here it, it felt to those two Pikmin standing on a rooftop, like a symphony. That short moment of music quickly died away as a massive explosion occurred. They were right in front of the Tower of the Pikmin and it happened. It was a beautiful explosion in Captain Eraser's eyes, and maybe to others who think like Captain Eraser, but in reality, to normal Pikmin, it was chaos. Captain Eraser even laughed, but not in a sense of evil. Pete was shocked and disturbed by the sight of a magnificent explosion that happened. It was possible from the mind of Captain Eraser who still had music in his head while dozens of floors were destroyed.
It is now six times for that Tower to collapse but this time everything was gone. The whole place was demolished from the map. It's like seeing an elephant collapse and then shrivels into nothingness from a bird's side view.
"Are you crazy or something?" Pete bellowed.
"You seem angry Pete," Captain Eraser replied.
"You just killed thousands, no MILLIONS of people in there!" Pete shouted.
"We're just lucky it's a day off for them today. No one died Pete," Captain Eraser said.
Pete then cooled off in relief. "You can go home now," Captain Eraser said.
Then just like that, Captain Eraser walked away. What kind of psychotic guy is this? Pete wondered. But evidently Pete was wrong. Captain Ironic Eraser was never psychotic, (unless you count that time he got drunk on tea). He always remained heroic until that day, when other Pikmin started liking other super heroes, new super heroes.
Meanwhile, in a hotel, E contacted the police right away through phone.
"Do you have my trust officers?"
"We'll get you to the FPPA specialists E" an officer on the phone said.
"Very well, officers," E replied.
E traced his dark room thinking. Then he smiled. My plan is working perfectly. Then a voice came through the speaker.
"Hello, this is Agent John Roswell, Mr. E, how are we going to capture this guy?"
"First we have to ignore the explosion of the Tower of the Pikmin," E said.
"But Mr. E," Agent Roswell said but he was interrupted by E.
"Listen, Agent Roswell, we have to make him believe that he won the first round," E explained.
"But for the other moves he plans to make we have to try and stop him, be there before he is."
"The question is Mr. E, will YOU be there?" Agent Roswell asked. Agent Roswell was perfectly good with conversations like this one. He was sure that E was the Pikmin who destroyed the tower.
"Yeah," E said casually. "I will be."
It was like Agent Roswell was hit in the face and hard. He really had him there.
"So Mr. E," he said frustrated at his loss, "what is your next prediction?"
E grinned. "He'll be trying to take down the leaders: Corporal Max Hastings, Governor Jack Reese, and Vice Chancellor Black. He would be at there homes at this minute! We must act accordingly!"
