My vision slowly returned to me as I awoke, once my eyesight stopped being so blurry I noticed something was amiss. I was aboard an unfamiliar ship! How in the world did I get here!?

Oh no… We're in the sky! And by the time on my watch it's almost morning! Olimar! Where is Olimar! I silently, but in a panic, fled all around the ship being careful not to wake my captors up. He wasn't here!

So, as quietly as possible I took out my communicator, but the sound on silent, and called Olimar.

"Olimar!" I whispered, "Olimar! Can you hear me!? Please pick up! I'm aboard a strange ship and I don't know what they're planning to do with me! Olimar!"

But he never answered, and I feared the worst.

"Oh no he must be in serious trouble! Oh man this is all my fault I never should've… Oh never mind that! I have to get back and help him!"

I ran for the controls, "Okay, nobody has woken up yet. All I have to do is land and find him!"

Because I was in a hurry, I didn't exactly land where I last saw him. I just landed where I could in that green forest area.

My next thought was to grab whatever I could from the ship that I could need, I raided their fridge.

"Oh thank goodness food!"

I grabbed it all, and just in time, the sun had risen. The lavender glow of dawn was still present but I didn't care. Once I had landed this thing my behind was out of that ship faster than the speed of light.

"Don't worry Olimar I'm coming to save you!"

I kept on running with all of my power, eventually I came upon a giant cement wall but I was NOT about to stop for anything.

I tossed all of the juice into the air, "LOUIE'S POWER PUNCH!" with my fists clenched I charged full power and I just drove my fist into that stone wall like there was nothing left. It shattered with a mighty BANG! I caught the juice coming down and continued on running.

Charlie's POV

I was jolted out of my sleep by the sound of an explosion, I scurried to the main room and looked around. Alph and Brittany darted out of their rooms briefly after.

"What happened?" Alph asked hastily.

"I-I don't know." I told him, "There was an explosion and…" I made the chilling realization that we were no longer in the air. I rushed outside and noticed that we were back in the Garden of Hope.

"Where did this ground come from!? Why aren't we in the air!?"

Alph came out beside me, "Captain! This is bad! Olimar's gone missing! You're Rubber Ducky has gone AWOL too!"

I almost fell backwards, "What did you just say!?"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!" A loud scream screeched from the Drake. Brittany came out soon afterward and BOY did she look irate.

Alph was shaken, "B-Brittany!? Why did you-!?"

She was too furious to even hear him, "That greedy villainous PIG! When I get my hands on him I will rip him to shreds!"

I was tentative to say anything to her, as charged up as she was but I had to know what was wrong, "Britt! What is going on?"

"HE'S RUN OFF WITH ALL OF OUR FOOD!"

Alph was more shook, "What!? You can't be serious!"

She said nothing and got the Pikmin team out of their Onion, then prepared to storm off, "Come on you two! Let's go after him! His footprints are going this way hurry!"

Me and Alph were both trembling, but we nodded and rushed to follow her.

Alph's POV

I've known Brittany since college, but I have NEVER seen her so mad before! But hey, she had the right to be. This guy ran off with all of our food! I swear she was leaving fire in her own tracks.

Even the Pikmin were a bit scared of her, they were keeping some distance between them and her. I kept close to the group to make sure that nothing would attack them, even though most of the creatures on this planet are nocturnal I didn't want to take any chances. I did see that Brittany was getting a bit ahead of the group, as much as I wanted to keep her in my sight, trying to stop her when she's this mad would be impossible. Not to mention risky.

As I feared, I eventually lost sight of her. I was worried, but I could track her signal on my Koppad.

Geez look how far away she is! When she gets mad she almost becomes a tornado. Moving rapidly and pushing everything in her path aside with hardly any effort.

Unfortunately I had to stop so I could catch my breath… At least Charlie and the Pikmin could catch up.

"Alph where is Brittany?" Charlie demanded to know.

I checked out my Koppad, "She's gone way out there Captain… I hope she's okay…" I just happened to glance over to a small body of water and noticed something peculiar.

"Hey Captain… look."

There was a large flower sticking out of the water, it had a very familiar appearance. It struck my mind that it could very well be another Pikmin Onion!

"Is that another Onion?"

"Could be Alph." Charlie replied, "It looks like its stuck!"

There was a vine growing out of the top, I sent the winged Pikmin for it and they tugged on the vine rhythmically. With persistence, the winged Pikmin managed to pluck it out of the ground. Sure enough it was another Onion, this one was blue.

Like the others it produced a single sprout, I treaded into the shallow water and plucked the Pikmin. This one was blue and looking closely it had a mouth! Or were those gills?

"It's another type of Pikmin!" I exclaimed, "This one seems comfortable in the water."

Charlie dismissed the Pikmin and came into the water for a closer look, "That appears to be so! Hm? Hey look there's a data file here!"

The data file read,

Blue Pikmin can survive in water

"That's going to be useful!" I mentioned, "Now we have five types of Pikmin with different kinds of abilities!"

"Let's grow some more on the double!" Charlie commanded, "We still need to catch up with Brittany!"

"I sure hope she's not in any trouble..." I worried.

Brittany's POV

All of my senses kicked into overdrive and I was out for blood. Nobody steals food from me and gets away with it! NOBODY! I swear when I find this guy… Alph and Charlie better hold me back from SEROUSLY HURTING HIM!

Using my Koppad I followed Olimar's signal, not caring at the time that I was leaving Alph, Charlie, and all of the Pikmin behind.

The signal guided me to a narrow densely wooded path, which in turn led me to large open mud hole. What in the world is this place? The ground is literally nothing but mud! Except for this piece of land with a crystal sticking out.

I tromped out into the muddy ground, to my surprise it was quite solid. Very suitable for a decent footpath. Studying my Koppad I realized that I was in the area where Olimar had run off too. Something was definitely amiss, I was turning all around and I didn't see him.

"Captain Olimar!" I called out hoping to get a reply, but I got nothing. Instead I noticed something in the bushes.

"Huh?" I walked closer to get a better look, "Is that a ship?"

Sure enough it was. A very unusual looking ship as a matter of fact, it was colored magenta and white and it had a speaker near the top.

Near the vessel I found yet another data file, covered in mud and gunk. I cleaned it off and read it into my Koppad.

Curse that Hocotate ship. It may once have been a top-of-the-line vessel. But now it's just an insult to my piloting. I can't wait to pay off that debt and get back in my beloved S.S. Dolphin. But that means I need to find something really valuable before I return home…

- Captain Olimar

"Poor guy…" I pondered, "But I will not let him off the hook for stealing our food!"

I continued walking around until my legs got tired, I took a seat on the piece of land sitting in the center of the mud hole.

"Where are Alph and the Captain?" I asked myself, then I shook my head, "Oh they'll find me soon. They can track my signal from my Koppad. I better just wait right here."

I sat and listened to the wind and rain while I waited anxiously for my teammates. I sighed and whispered, "I don't know how this adventure is going to turn out... But if we're successful... Alph... will you notice how I feel?"

I was so absorbed in my thoughts I didn't pay any attention to the shifting ground...

"I've never felt this way before but... I think it's safe to say that I... huh?"

The ground suddenly lifted up below me! The solid crystal behind my started to crack! When it busted completely, out came a disgusting eyeball! Which did not hesitate to hone in on me!

I screamed as loud as I could...
