Chapter 23: yellow's turn
My dreams got weird that night…I kept dreaming I was someone else, though I had no idea who it was. I only caught glimpses of things, so I couldn't make out anything. At one point I was near a flower bush, at another I was in front of a snageret, yet another I was in front of some ship. None of it made sense to me, and I woke up with a headache. I had dreamed I was someone else before, but it was before I ended up on the pikmin planet. I had dreamt I was in a space suit and I was trapped on an unknown planet. I had never even heard of pikmin at the time, and thinking about it, I realized I had been dreaming about Olimar. But my last dream made no sense. We ate, then landed back at the spring. The blue onion still looked pale, but I had to use them for the next part. I took out 50 blues, as Olimar took out 50 yellows. Aqua was still sick, but she promised she could manage. We built the bridge to the Gluon drive, and the pikmin quickly brought it to the ship. My dream was bugging me, as was how distant Olimar seemed. Olimar didn't even say anything as he climbed back into the ship. I sighed, knowing my head wasn't clear enough to go deeper. Aqua walked off and sat down nearby, obviously upset. The other blues and yellows went back in as I called out flame to calm her down. "Hey Alex" Daisy said once Flame was by Aqua. I smiled "hi Daisy" I said "getting better?" she asked me. I smiled again "I think so, very slowly" I replied "the other 2 have told me how they got s0tranded, how'd it happen to you?" I asked her "well, it's pretty easy to explain. I was chosen for my ability to pick up on the smallest sounds, allowing for better survival. When we took off from the city, my onion was in the lead. Something made our onion malfunction, though I'm not sure what, and we ended up in the middle of nowhere. The leader was busy before, and she was the only one who knew how to get back. We saw the reds land over a lake, but we couldn't do anything and the blues didn't react, though Aqua won't tell me why. We also watched as the blues onion failed and they spiraled to the ground. I told the leader, and he quickly took control, but he couldn't get to them, and he thought they were lost. We had to land to make sure we didn't crash. The leader told me to stay inside, so I have no idea where he went. When they came back, the leader was gone. The onion took off for the night, but no one was controlling it in the morning. I quickly took control, and accidentally landed in the water. I was stuck in the control room when everyone got out. I felt terrible, but I knew we were close enough for them to survive. I moved the onion over, but no one came back in. I got out and looked for the others, but they had disappeared, though I knew they weren't dead. By night time, I had to take off by myself. In the morning, I tried to find them, but I crashed into a tree and ended up in stasis. The onion buried into the ground without anyone to control It." she finished with a sigh "wow, all of them malfunction?" I asked, even though I knew the answer "actually, it's not as random as you might think. The onions are partially alive, but they require pikmin to run it. The leader is connected to the onion emotionally. The onion can show you how the leader is feeling, and only malfunctions if the leader isn't paying attention…well, except for the red onion. For some reason their onion malfunctions all the time, and for absolutely no reason. They could fix that if they weren't so busy testing their ability's." she seemed annoyed, but I realized why the blue and red onions were pale…well, only the blue one now. I guess that meant Flame was cured now. The pikmin were way more complicated than I had imagined, they were also way more advanced by the looks of it, and they were only a few centimeters tall! Then I realized a couple of the yellows were gone…right before I heard explosions. I looked over to see the stone walls gone. Well, there goes the remaining bomb pikmin. I didn't see any candypop buds nearby, so I figured there would be one at the final area we'd have to use. Wait a sec…when did the pikmin come out? "Why are some of your pikmin out?" I asked Daisy "don't know" she said as they went back. I shrugged, and realized it was almost sunset. Aqua seemed calmer now, and the three leaders went back into the onions. I yawned and climbed into the rocket, right before we took off. I thought about my dream, and how similar it seemed to the dream I had before I found out about pikmin. It was years ago, but it was fragmented. The dream had reoccurred multiple times over the next month, but each time it was something different. When I had gotten the game, I realized my dreams had foretold the events in the game, before I had ever seen any of it. I didn't know what to think of this dream though, and it was really bugging me. I fell asleep trying to piece together the fragments of the dream I remembered.
Whew, another two in one! I'm running low on ideas, but I'm still trying. I may elaborate on the dream, though right now I'm not sure why I put it in there. Remember the usual: I love criticism, I'm open to input, and reviews encourage me. Thanks for reading, bye for now!
