"Aww man. Not that Akuma kid again." Doof complained.
"That kid is getting annoying." Ferb replied.
'I HAD to. It IS a Titan story.'
"Great. That must mean that there is going to be some giant creature that is going to try to kill us all, am I correct?"
'Maaaybe.'
I don't own anything but the things I own.
Distant Planet Enemy HQ
*You promised you'd have this threat dead in one day.* Emperor Bulblax roared.
"I didn't take two extra captains into account. Or the purple onion." Akuma hissed. "I didn't know that Smiles had gotten ahold of the Waterwraith's only weakness. But, at least you now know what kind of a threat Olimar is now."
*You promised us protection.* Beady Long Legs clicked.
"I promised you that I'd bring you Olimar, dead. I said nothing about your well being." There were a loud bunch of roars. "SILENCE!" He yelled, an immediate quiet coming afterwards. Akuma ran a hand through his hair, thinking. "I'll admit. There were a few... unforseen variables. But, I have dealt with these brats before. And the only bit of protection they have is the pikmin. I was still able to salvage the star-blasting ship part." Akuma smirked, pointing to the part behind him.
"Besides. They are coming to the Forest Navel next." Akuma smirked grew wider. "Puffstool." The creature hesitantly stepped forward. Akuma raised a hand and touched the top of the creature cap. The creature heaved violently, and started twisting and malforming. "Now, I give you new form. Crush all that stand in your way!" There was a burst of light, then darkness. Puffstool was gone. "Havoc. Reak havoc. Ahahahaha. How will you do, I wonder." A new form came over. "Hm?"
"Um, 'k. You know, there are still resistance, 'k? I can't exactly pencil this whole planet in for a brain-washing." The girl said.
"I don't want the whole planet. I just need the strongest. Pileated! I want all of the snagrets. And I need them ready in several days. I'm afraid they just might find that blue onion."
"Landing sequence... go!" Olimar said, sending the landing jets to maximum as the ship jostle to the ground. Smiles was still asleep on the ceiling, because neither knew how to wake him up. It didn't help that he probably knew everything about this place. Ruby, having no other choice, slipped off her shoe, and with careful aim, sent it flying, smacking Smiles right in the face. The shoe fell, revealing a very deep mark in the boy's face (Hocotatian space helmets are special in allowing objects in, yet remaining strong against creature attacks and deadly gases). Smiles' eyes opened wide, and after yawning, jumped down from the ceiling, landing on his face while doing so.
"Ouch." Was the only thing he said.
"Come on! The creatures here don't sleep in!" Olimar yelled.
"Bulborbs."
"Huh?"
"Bulborbs sleep in." Smiles elaborated, but he pulled himself off the floor, adjusting his helmet. He jumped out of the ship and took a look around. At least the land itself hadn't changed. Hopefully, everything was still in there original places... Alright.
"Ruby. Take twenty red pikmin. Olimar, twenty five. I shall take fourty and fifteen purples." All of them followed his orders and withdrew the number of pikmin assigned to them.
"Alright." Ruby said, pulling out a trumpet that she was using as a whistle.
"Follow me." Smiles smirked, leading the two past the area where the blue onion would have landed, and directed Ruby to supervise the building of the bridge. "Alright Olimar. Now, there is a ship part over here... The Automatic Gear. Just set your pikmin to work on this. I'll make sure there is no shearwigs underneath." With that, Smiles left, dropping down the cliff. The pass was completely clear of bugs, which was pretty good. At least... it should be. He pokes at the ground. Seeming to be satisfied that nothing was going to erupt from the ground, he moved on.
He readied his purples for the fiery blowhogs, ready for anything. The fire blowing pig was turning to face the new threat, and started breathing in air... and started making choking sounds. Confused, Smiles stepped forward. There! In the hose-like trunk, there was a bulge travelling towards the end. It made one last choking before sending the contents in Smiles' direction. Smiles just barely ducked as a bomb rock went overhead. Nearly half of his reds were killed along with about seven purples.
He gasped loudly. The blowhog sucke in air and started choking again, the bomb rock in the end of his trunk. Smiles spammed pikmin on his back, freezing the blowhog in place. The blowhog died, flipping onto his back. However, no spirit flew out. Questioningly, he dismissed his pikmin and approached the dead blowhog. There were cracks running along its body, coming from the back to the trunk. Light shone forward, and with only a moment, he jumped out of the way, just as the blowhog blew itself up. He was here just two days ago! What happened? Oh no! What if... Smiles called all of his pikmin to him and ran.
(Olimar's POV)
Wow. How in the world did the pikmin do that? I stare at what was once a pile of sticks, but was now one long stick reaching from the cliff he was on, to the cliff where the Automatic Gear was situated. The pikmin were slowly crawling over the stick, and as soon as they picked it up, they jumped off the cliff, the ship part in hand. It clattered loudly on the ground, and all of a sudden the noises stopped. The creatures that I have named wollywogs were silent. The bugs stopped buzzing. Then, without warning, a hideous bug wrenched itself from the ground, a deep purple in color. It roared loudly, and wings exited from its back, and it took to the air. Smiles ran up beside me and watched the hideous creature. After getting over the initial shock, I took note on how the creature had two sets of wings. And unlike the other fying creatures that I've seen, and heard about, all of the bugs flew in one direction, forward. This beast was flying jerkedly, left and right. Upon close observation, each of this creature's wings moved on its own, allowing the creature to... basically do what it was doing now. Like many creatures on this planet, it was huge, about the size of the Dolphin. On the bad side, it was about as fast as it too.
"Shear-King" Smiles said, paling beside me.
"You know it?" I ask, surprised. He shook his head.
"No, it just seems like a good name. I just don't understand it. That isn't supposed to be here. I was here just two days ago. The blowhogs blew fire, the shearwigs were the size of bread loves, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't here." He said, pointing to a new object that joined the creature that had erupted from the ground. Whatever it was, it had a flying saucer-like thing on its head, spinning at a rapid pace, allowing it to rise in the air.
"You like my handy work?" A new voice asked. Both me and Smiles looked up to see that kid from yesterday, the one that took my ship part IN ONE HAND AND RAN AWAY WITH IT AT THE SPEED OF THE DOLPHIN!
"Your handy work? Just what are you?" I yell. For once, the crazed smile on his face faltered.
"Me? You don't know who I am? Didn't Smiles tell you?" The kid's smirk found its way back to his face. Confused, I shook my head. "Well, that sort of puts a damper on things."
"Akuma! Don't converse with the enemy!" To my surprise, something that appeared to be a ball of fur on legs came running up. "I'm so sorry." I was startled by the fact that the body was muscular, but the voice was feminine.
"Well, I'll leave you to the Puffion and the Shear-King, as you called it. Ciao!" And with a rush of air, Akuma was gone. With no warning, Shear-King dived at us, while the Puffion sailed overhead in the opposite direction. Smiles barely dodged as a powder was thrown, coating a red pikmin. To our surprise, the pikmin turned a bruised purple color, and started making a noise like cackling. The leaf on its head sprouting into a mushroom.
"Dammit! Puffion? Try Puffstool! Akuma! When I get my hands on you, I am shoving as many onions down your throat as I can fit!"
(Phineas POV)
I was working as hard as I could. However, I didn't like the backseat driving.
"Hurry up! We need to get in there!" The girl with the blue skin complained.
"You try making a device that transmits living beings through time-space, and making them able to assemble correctly on the other end." I reply. That was when that boy with the visor slid in under next to me... on top of Ferb's skateboard.
"Let me have a look at it." He said. The visor slid down and I could make out several diagrams and many words scrolling on it, his eye moving at a rapid pace, while his other stared straight at the mechanics. He shook his head. He rolled out from under the machine. "Alright. I need a source of power that would equal that of a lightning strike." The girl with the blue skin stepped forward. "At the rate of a strike every second." The girl stepped back. Everyone began to think.
(Smiles POV)
Think! We have two different flying enemies... what is a way to exploit their weakness? I decided to put the pikmin that were with me and Olimar, I also grabbed the Toadmin... Puffmin... Mushmin... Uggh! Those were all horrible! I'm just gonna call them mushroom pikmin, and I threw it in the nearby pool of water. It wasn't satisfying in any way, but it at least got him out of the way. Now, I focused on the flying creatures. Hmm...
I dodged another bout of Puffion gas, while Olimar dodged towards me, causing the creatures to nearly hit each other. They snarled at each other, before going down for another attack. From what I coul tell, The Puffion was basicaly a bruise-colored Onion, with a cap on its top that it was using to fly. It also appeared to fly a few feet above the Shear-King. They were also using a scissor attack style, they coming from two different sides, alternating the side after each attack, so they were always on opposite sides of us. They also appeared to take no interest in the pikmin, which meant that I could probably kill these guys with no pikmin deaths.
There was a little screech behind me, and the little red ghost reminded me what happened. Okay, one pikmin death. There was an easy way to get rid of them. Make them run into each other. But even if me and Olimar stood in a line, the Puffion would still be several feet (in my perspective) above it, so how was I going to... wait! There! The puffion passed right over the top where the Automatic Gear was. Remembering the gear, I turned to see the group of pikmin still carrying it back to base. Alright. I better lay out the plan to Olimar. I whisped it into his ear, between dodges. His eyes widen.
"That... just might work."
(Ruby's POV)
I still don't know what happened. One second, I was supervising the building of the bridge, like Smiles said for me to. The next, here I am. In the air. In the claws of some sort of giant bug. I mean, it was about as big as a person! It also was rather... fat. And it flew around on these super thin wings on its head. It's a miracle this thing got off the ground, let alone a few hundred feet in the air!
The D.P.E. HQ
"Bumbling Snitchbug 8, B.S. 8! I did not authorize the capture of that captain! B.S. 8!" All of the bosses were surrounding him. Monster Blood made a sick croaking sound. Akuma chucked the microphone at the beach ball size blob of goo, causing it to sink into the creature's 'head.'
"What are you laughing at?" He snarled, causing everyone else in the room to flinch, even Grand Emporer Bulblax. The ball squechled. "What is funny with the name B.S. 8?" The ball made a dry sucking sound. "Oh man. I think I'm going to puke blood. That was nasty. Don't say that ever again." The goo laughed his croaking laugh, before becoming silent once again.
(Olimar's POV)
Why did I agree to do this? Oh yeah. So the Shear-King would stop snapping at me. I took another step on the thin pikmin bridge. I drop onto the bridge, just as the Shear-King flew overhead. I crawl up the last of the pole and stand shakily up. If these two monsters were as stupid as Smiles said they were, then they'd be too focused on what was in front of them. Smiles stood beneath me, waiting for the Puffion.
There! They both turned, the Puffion just above the pool of water, while the Shear-King was just above the blowhog arena. They charged, and just as Smiles predicted, they were too intent on their prey. Mushroom hit shear-like mandibles as the two collided, there was a loud cracking sound as the Shear-King's face was sunk in. Shear-King plummeted to the ground, while Puffion, after releasing a quick bit of gas, flew shakily away. It fell from sight for a few seconds, before it could be seen flying away.
(Ady's POV)
"HA! Bring on the monsters! Smiles has your number!" Adyson yelled. The Shear-King on the screen shook violently, and with a quick flick of its wings, was airborne once more. It shreiked loudly, before falling back to the ground. Dead. Two things slipped from its mouth. A half digested lump of bread, and an inner tube. "Wait. What?"
(Smiles POV)
I flinched at the horrible sight. The half-digested carcass of the bread-bug, everything but the top was gone. I felt like I was going to puke. Olimar walked over to me, looked at the horrible sight.
"You seem to know something that I don't." He said. I nod.
"This is the unfortunate carcass of the breadbug. It was the one that swallowed your Space Float." I say gesturing to the thing lying in vomit, and then at the ship part. Then my eyes widen again. Oh no. "The Puffstool... err Puffion. It used to be a very, very weak boss. Apparently that bastard Akuma got his hands on it and changed it. However..."
I check the map, and to my horror, there was one of the ship parts flying just off the screen. "Damn. He still has the Omega Stabilizer." There was the sound of a bell tinkling. No reason to dwell. Might as well take the carcass, putting the purles to work on it, and the reds on whatever remained of the breadbug. I then put the leftovers on the unneeded ship part. It might just be impossible to do this.
Alright. Yeah, pretty sad, huh? Anyway, I end here with more piklopedia entries. BTW, this is only for the creatures that I have made in this chapter.
Rocky Blowhog
Sus Granitus Explodus
Blowhog family
It appears that instead of the usual digestive fluids in its stomach, this creature has volatite, the substance that makes up bomb-rocks. This creature sends bomb-rocks through its trunk, literally barfing it out. Volatite is then compacted through the muscles in the trunk. However, the trunk also seems to be the only part in its body that performs respiratory, and unfortunately, since this creature's DNA structure was crudely reconstructed by Akuma, the bombs don't exactly fit well, causing the creature to momentarily choke. Once this happens, its vision is shut down to conserve energy, meaning once it had the bomb-rock ready, then it can't see its target. It has a special mucus lining its stomach, as well as the inside of its trunk, which keeps volatite from exploding. However, it has to keep making more layers of mucus, cause the volatite burns slowly through the mucus. Once life functions have failed,the volatite eats through the mucus ining and blows, thus this creature cannot be dissected. How frustrating!
[Louie's notes]
Be careful with the creature, forcing a fillant into its stomach, shutting down the life functions immediately, as well as stopping the bomb-rocks from exploding. Then, peel the skin off, revealing the juicy insides. Mince the meat fine. Cover with bulborb fat, and flash-fry for twenty seconds. Puts an explosion of flavor on any salad.
Shear-King
Himagea Mandivolaris Supremus
Mandiblard family
This potentially dangerous creature has no known weaknesses, besides an extremely weak skull. However, to get to this extremely weak skull, one would have to go past the dangerous shear-like mandibles are strong enough to cut through walls, as well as the weaker ship hulls. Do not engage unless you have a death wish.
[Louie's notes]
Use a high powered Hocotatian energy saw to remove the wings and exoskeleton. Saute the meat in a savory sauce, along with fresh glowcaps, minced rocky blowhog, blanched horsetail stems, and chopped fiery bulblax liver. Takes the wings and cut each into five. Fill the wing-bowls with the succulent broth. Serves 10.
Puffion
Fungi Parasiticus
Walking Mushroom family
The puffion. Along with Shear-King and the Rocky Blowhog, this creature has been genetically reengineered. Like the others, this creature is highly dangerous. I hate to say this, but besides being a Puffstool turned Onion, the only thing we know about this creature is that it excretes a special spore content from its cap that infects a pikmin's nervous system, turning it into mindless slaves to the usually weak creature. The pikmin die over time, for the spores are poisonous.
[Louie's notes]
Inedible. Highly toxic. Causes unnatural leg spasms, yellow diarrhea, and possibly death.
