Chapter 5: Battle
00:00 (midnight) – I awoke to the sound of an explosion. Sitting bolt upright, I saw Bulbmin running toward me, terror struck. "We gotta get out of here! Now!"
Another small explosion rocked the earth. "What's going on?"
"They're…they're…Aaaaughhh!"
Suddenly, two monsters appeared out of the shadows. The first was what Olimar called a wollywog. It was as pale as a ghost, and had small, glowing red eyes. It was extremely fat and had four stubby legs sticking semi-uselessly out of its sides. Its only way to attack anything was to jump on top of them, crushing them underneath it.
The other was a gattling groink. The only way to describe it was a giant, metalic fish. Steam came out of the fins on its back, and its cannon mouth was sticking out of it…pointed in our direction. Stomping towards us, it made small popping noises as it walked.
Trying to scramble to my feet, I fell on my bad arm and couldn't get up. The wollywog saw this chance and jumped toward me at full speed. Hopping a whole two feet in the air, (and I'm only an inch tall, myself) it came down almost directly on top of me, crushing my lower half with a sickening crunch. I wailed in pain.
The wollywog sat on me for a second, then jumped a second time into the air. I heard two loud bangs. Looking toward the gattling groink, I watched fire its cannon at me twice. Rolling to the left, pretty much all I could do at this point, I barely escaped the explosions as two white orbs landed right where I was a second ago and detonated. The resulting shockwaves sent me flying. Landing with a thud, I looked up to see the wollywog coming in for a second round, and this time it wasn't going to miss.
At the last possible second, Bulbmin rushed in, picked me up and ran me over to a small rock wall, not far from where I was. However, when I looked, I saw that it wasn't Bulbmin…well, it was a bulbmin, but it wasn't the one I met earlier. I could tell in its eyes and the way its spots were arranged on its back. You can do the same thing with pikmin. "Stay here" it said, "Don't worry about us. We'll take care of those two."
"We?" I was a bit confused, until I saw what was coming out of the water. Hundreds of bulbmin were appearing. Bulbmin of all sizes, one's half my size to ones the size of boulders, were all attacking the monsters that threatened my existence. The last thing I saw before I passed out was an enormous swarm of green and red covering the gattling groink and the wollywog. Then I blacked out.
A/N: Well…that was short.
