Olimar's Pre-story
Zac Freedle AB3
"Captain's Log 10/27/89, 21:30; It has been five days since I took off for the distant planet. Everything is looking well. All technology is running smoothly. I can not wait until I meet the pikmin again. I hope I find new species. It will be different without my right hand man Louie."
"Captain's Log 10/28/89 21:00; It has been six days since I left Hocotate for the distant planet. I found a strange gem in the food supplies. I found out uses energy much more efficiently than any other power supply I've seen. I have decided to use it for the communication light connected to my helmet. I should be able to control at least two thousand pikmin at one time now."
"Captain's Log 10/29/89 21:25; It has been seven days since I left Hocotate. I am one day away from the distant planet. I picked up a minor disturbance within range of my ship. I tried to locate it but to no avail. The light on my helmet acted strangely to the disturbance"
"Captain's Log 10/30/89 21:34; I have arrived at the distant planet. I decided not to land on the planet because I saw hundreds of Onions rushing away from the planet. I saw fires and explosives being used on the surface. I believe someone is causing damage to the ecosystem on the distant planet. I have decided to go back to Hocotate to inform the Police force about this horrible event. I hope the pikmin will be safe."
"Captains Log 10/31/89 20:58; It has been one day since I left the desecrated distant planet for Hocotate. I have decided to try and use the gem I found to power the ship. With it I should reach Hocotate in just thirty six hours. I noticed the same disturbance from two days ago again and once again I found nothing.
Six Onions from the distant planet have started to follow me. There is one red, one blue, one yellow, one green, one brown, and one pink. The green, brown and pink Onions are new to me. If the colors of the Onions define the colors of the pikmin inside then I have found three new species already. My scanners pick up that there are five hundred pikmin in each onion. With the one thousand pikmin in my ship currently that brings my total to four thousand pikmin. I will try my new engine power source tonight."
"Captain's Log 11/1/89 00:47; Something weird is going on with the ship. It has been one hour since I started up my new engine power source. It appears my ship is also affecting the onions. The same disturbance from yesterday has appeared again, except this time it's everywhere. The ships have started to glow and we are all picking up speed at an extremely rapid rate. The glow is so bright I can not see anymore. I will try to…" (Silence).
" It is 6:23 and I seem to have passed out during the phenomenon. I have checked all of the onions and my ship. Everything is fine, there are no more abnormalities. I have decided to put the gem back into my communication light. It is too unpredictable to use as a major power source. I have been sent to a place in space that I do not recognize. I will travel around looking for a planet that might be able to tell me where I am. Luckily I have a good five years of oxygen left. I learned my lesson from the first time I visited the distant planet."
"Captain's Log 11/12/89 13:34; I have finally found a planet the pikmin and I may go. We will be investigating it tomorrow. I do not have much food left. I have had to share some of it with the pikmin. It is apparent that the onions can not hold much food. I must at least find food on this new planet. My ship's Galactic Navigation system is probably malfunctioning. It says I'm five thousand years in the past and in a completely different galaxy. Could that gem really have done this?"
"Captain's Log 11/13/89 10:50; I have decided to record my entire visit to the new planet. I am only taking the blue, red, and yellow onions for safety purposes. I am now entering the planet's atmosphere. Huh?! What's going on the ship is getting pulled in by some abnormal force! The engines cut out! The onions are also being affected oddly. My scanners did not pick up gravity this strong. The ship and the onions are glowing again I think the gem is the source of this. It seems something is pulling us to the planet. I see a bright light on the planet. We are headed straight for it. Five seconds till impact... Is that a desert?" All that is heard is the sound of a crash.
I sigh and lean back in my chair. I had just got done reviewing my latest recordings. I look out of my ship and see my new friends on this strange planet. If the disc that Meta Knight gave me told me the truth then I will have more friends and enemies. I walk over and turn on the tape recorder and start my next captain's log.
"Captain's Log 11/14/89 01:37; My ship has crashed on the planet. Luckily the natives here are kind and hospitable. This was my first day on the planet with no name, on the continent of Hyrule. Natives on the planet are intelligent but are still using swords and arrows. At the moment a war seems to be on the horizon. I have met five of the natives so far. Thanks to them I survived. Shortly after I landed three of the natives appeared and an army of creatures that attempted to kill us. The odd thing was there were Red Bulborbs and Burrowing Spriggats from the distant planet, and a new humanoid species called Bublins. They are like swamp green half human half wild boar. They were savages and didn't hesitate to attack us. The natives that helped me are named Link, Zelda, and Marth. Unfortunately Marth disappeared during the battle, we are hoping he's okay."
"I was able to find out about the green pikmin. Green pikmin have two leaves instead of the original one, and have extraordinary healing powers. I used them to heal Zelda, Link, and all of my pikmin. These creatures are ever more outstanding than I first thought. I can not wait to try out the other two species of pikmin."
"After a majority of the creatures were defeated a giant black bird came out of an ominous cloud near a decrepit tower. The sight of the bird sent chills down my spine and frightened the pikmin. My friends Link and Zelda reacted without giving the danger a second thought. Link summoned his own bird by whistling on a thin plant, and we all took off towards the other bird. We attempted to harm it but nothing we did worked. The dark avion ended up striking us down. We began falling back to the ground, Link's bird was dead, and neither of us could fly. When we thought all was lost a black rip in the middle of the air came out of nowhere and we began to float down. A short, female, impish-like humanoid came out and saved us with what they call magic. Another person came out with her but he was clad in armor and seemed to be an orb with arms and legs. The female's name is Midna and the man's name is Meta Knight. He gave me a disc that explained what happened to me and what is going on, on this planet. Apparently a war between five armies shall begin soon. Ancient weapons, abilities and magic are going to be used and millions of lives are in danger. of I think he knows more than he leads on. "
"At the moment my new companions Link, Zelda, Midna, and Meta Knight are outside the ship sleeping in what probably used to be a fort under the decrepit tower. I am going to sleep outside tonight to study this planet more thoroughly and make a chart of the sky. I have also decided to stay here and help these people. I will not be recording any more captains' logs until I am done here. I just hope that the distant planet is okay."
"Oh! Before I forget I believe that there might be a way home somewhere on this planet. If the bulborbs got here then I can use their way to get out." I turn off the recorder, yawn and begin to walk outside. "I hope I can get back home." I say in a slightly depressed tone. Then I turn off the lights to the ship and walk outside.
Outside it is almost pitch black. The only light is the full moon. I see Meta Knight Sitting and a dilapidated wall. "He must be on look out." I whisper to myself, walking over to where Zelda and Link are sleeping and find an unused pillow in Link's bag. I take it and sit it on a large rock. I lay down on it and fall asleep completely forgetting all of my troubles. I have a nice dream of my wife and kids. We are having dinner in a new house I bought for my family. We are laughing, having a good time. It is perfect. I wake up blinded by a black light and startled because of loud crashing sound. I look up and see a man floating. His hand was covered in darkness. It's obvious that I might be in danger.
