Olimar and Louie's Journey Through IGN

The president was in the hospital, and had contacted the Hocotatian Government about the imminent threat that Olimar warned about. He was at the bedside of Cralechern, who was still in a coma.

President: Yes...yes. No, just a message from my most trusted employee. It's the Venenians. I don't know who any of them are.  I think they're the ones behind the F.A.S's disappearance.

Cralechern soon after awakened from his coma. The President was still talking on his phone with a Hocotatian Official.

Cralechern: Get the Press E dent in here. I mean President.

Nurse: Ok. Mr. President. He's awake.

President: Hold on, one of my employees just woke up from his coma. I'll call you back.

Cralechern: I know...

President: You're awake! Thank goodness you're awake.  Thank goodness all my employees are ok. I wish I could get in contact with Mozolt. He'd be able to convince the military about all this.

Cralechern: I know-

President: You know what?

Cralechern: I know who.

President: Huh?

Cralechern: Let me tell explain what happened. I stumbled upon plans to capture the Fleet Admiral Ship. But I was attacked by someone, and I know who that someone is.

President: Who?

Cralechern: It's-




Louie and company continued onward through the ship, searching for the prototype device to restore Louie's memory. General Chrtiunn and his troops suddenly appeared in front of them.

Chrtiunn: You may have evaded my attacks in space, but now we're face to face. I usually don't fight in these battles but sometimes you have to handle stuff yourself.

Louie: We don't have to fight.

Chrtiunn: Yes we do.

Black: But-

Chrtiunn: I've watched you all, you're all so naive. You guys try to talk your enemies down, to get them to go to your side, but, it never works, and it won't work this time.

Black: Hey! Thelraus is helping us!

Green: And Ayphuri!

Chrtiunn:The only reason he's working with you now is because he's no longer possessed. She's only helping you because she was never on our side to begin with.

Thelraus: Don't worry, three of us were under their direct control, and we were saved.  Let's free this general of the parasite that controls him too.

The two groups ran at each other. Louie, sent a Pikmin army at the Venenians. Platnimia roared,stunning even more of them.Green,3D, Rhino slashed through the weakened creatures. Platnimia  jumped in front of Chrtiunn and roared. This caused the slimeball to start forcing itself out out of the Hocotatian. She roared again as pikmin jumped onto him and the Venenian was finally forced out. However, it killed the host.

Thelraus: I was hoping we could save him. He was the Hocotatian General Toliunn. We possessed. He was in charge of the space time program.

Ayphuri: ...

Black: I see.

Thelraus: We must move.

The group carried on through the ship. Unbeknownst to them, Chrtntf,the Venenian that possessed  General Toliunn was not dead. Chrtntf slithered back towards Toliunn's body.

Louie and the group had reached the prototype room. They set the laser to Louie's eye and began to flash it. They waited to see whether or not the device had worked.


Olimar,Kaen,PBB,and Webbuu climbed out of the rubble after the crash. It seemed like all the Venenians on the ship had been killed in the wreck. The four climbed to the top of the wreck to get a better view of where they were.

Olimar: Wait a minute. I know this place. This is the Pikmin Planet. I can't believe the F.A.S just happened to wreck here.

Kaen: Wow. That's good for us, since we breathe oxygen.

Web: We might find Pikmin here as well.

PBB: This is great, well not great, but we have a better shot of surviving here. I think I can also use my ghostly powers here.

Olimar: My life support system isn't damaged. We have to find my Dolphin V Phone, or a distress beacon on the FAS but I doubt the distress beacon survived, so phone it is.

Kaen: This place looks even more beautiful in person.

PBB: I can't believe we're standing on the Pikmin Planet. I can't wait to go down to the surface.

Olimar: We should be able to explore soon enough. I just hope this crash has scared away the pikavores, rather than attract them.

Web: Well, I hope we get to-

The surviving leader emerged from the wreckage of the ship.

???: Olimar.

PBB: Who are you?

Olimar: Wait, no-

???: Didn't expect me to survive did you? To be fair I didn't expect anyone to survive that either.

Olimar: Mozolt! What are you doing here?

Mozolt: That's Admiral Mozolt to you.

Olimar: I'm glad to see you.

Mozolt: I kind of wish I could say the same..

Olimar: You used to work for Hocotate Freight.

Mozolt: I used to, but I got promoted by the president of El Capitale Di Hocotate.

Olimar: So wait, were you were commanding the ship?

Mozolt: I was.

Olimar: You were possessed, it's alright, we can all wait for the rescue ship, all the Venenians on the F.A.S are dead now so we don't have to worry.

Mozolt: I'm sorry Olimar, but I'm not possessed.

Olimar: What?

Mozolt: I know it's difficult to believe, but I did this under my own free will. They didn't possess me, and didn't force me to work for them either.

Olimar: You couldn't! You see what those Venenians did and are going to do. What reason could you have to work with them?

Mozolt: You were going to be promoted to the position of Admiral, a position that I desperately desired. I work towards towards that position and all it takes is you finding those carrot aliens, and all of a sudden, you're going to be an Admiral. I couldn't believe this, so I had to secure the promotion that I deserved.

Olimar: If I had known you wanted it so badly I'd have-

Mozolt: No, you wouldn't have. Even if you did, they wouldn't let you anyways. So I conspired with the Venenians, who just so happened to be in the area at the time. I revealed the coordinated that Louie and yourself would be taking when you were shipping the Pikmin back to Hocotate. I would become Admiral, and the Venenians would be rid of their Pikmin threat forever.

Olimar: You betrayed Hocotate! What good would Hocotatian Admiral do on a conquered planet?

Mozolt: The way I see it, is if the Venenians winn, I'm a top military commander among them, but if the Hocotatian Military wins, I'm the valiant leader that was the sole survivor of the Fleet Admiral Ship's disappearance.

Olimar: You won't get away with this!

Mozolt: When I kill you, it won't be me they find. Even if you live, who will they believe? A captain that went missing and another employee that was under their control, or an Admiral? But if the Venenian's plan succeeds, I'm the man that slayed their boogeyman.

Olimar: They will know the truth!

Mozolt: Just keep telling yourself that. You don't even have those 'Pikmin' with you. Not that it'd do any good, I'm not one of them.

Olimar:  But you don't have to do this if you're not one of them, we can stop the Venenians together.

Mozolt: Enough of this philosophy babbling. I've made my choice.

Mozolt attacked them and pushed Kaen and Web,causing them to tumble down the wreckage. PBB struggled to stay on and fight with his ghost powers, but was pushed off of the ship. He fell to the hard surface of the Pikmin Planet below, and died.

Only Olimar and Mozolt were left. They tried to outmaneuver each other, hiding behind pieces of the ship. Olimar tried following Mozolt around the the remains of the ship, but Mozolt was doing the same. They pursued each other, trying to be stealthy, hoping for a chance to attack. They kept using sly tactics to evade each other. Olimar found a cardboard box but before he could us it, Mozolt lunged at him.

The two engaged in hand to hand combat. For several minutes, neither let up. They never talked during the whole ordeal,even to taunt each other, they just fought. Mozolt tried to get control, and the two struggled with Kyle's power staff that Olimar had been carrying. They struggled to press it against each other's faces.

Finally, one of them accidentally activated it,causing a flash of ban to appear, startling them both. The two stepped back for a moment at the haunting realization that one of them had just been banned.



......




Mozolt's face began to melt, leaving a bloodied mess inside his helmet as Olimar looked on in shock.









-----

After Mozolt's death, Olimar searched for the IGNers and reunited with Kaen and Webbuu.

Olimar: Mozolt is dead.

Kaen: We survived..but PBB didn't.

Web: Now we've lost Goddard and PBB.

Olimar: It's my fault that they're dead.

Kaen: It's not your fault, we're the ones that chose to follow you.

Olimar: Yeah, but I crashed onto your planet, so all of that wouldn't have happened-

Kaen: All of that wouldn't have happened if one of your coworkers wasn't so jealous of your success.

Olimar: That is true.

Web: And if the Venenians weren't so evil.

Kaen: They would've found a planet by now if they didn't want to take it all over by force.

Web: So how are we going to get off of the Pikmin Planet?

Olimar: I lost my Dolphin V phone which allows me to contact the Dolphin V at any time. I still have my Whimsical Radar so we can find it.

They began to search around the Pikmin Planet's surface for the Dolphin V phone.

Olimar: This reminds me of my first time here, no Pikmin, a broken ship, and scattered parts. It was just me and the landscape, I was pretty much prepared to write out my final messages. That is until I discovered the Pikmin. Suddenly things didn't seem hopeless, and I didn't feel so alone on this hostile planet.

Web: Yeah.

Olimar: It seems really weird having someone already know your story via a 'fictional' world. I wonder if there will be a story about your guys' adventure.

Kaen: Maybe.

Olimar: But they helped me get my parts back and fix my ship to go home,while I helped them fight on the dangerous planet.

Web: That's kind of like when you got stranded on GN.

Olimar: Yes, it kind of is, isn't it.

Kaen: You would be a pretty cool leader. You'd have made a good admiral.

Olimar: Anyways, my second trip to this planet was pretty eventful. Louie and I traveled back to the planet to pay off my companies debt. I do feel bad that this trip to the planet, I was using the Pikmin to earn money for Hocotate Freight. Louie was pretty quiet,and a bit weird because he tried everything, but he grew on me. He's so quiet that I hadn't realized that I left him behind til it was too late.

Kaen: I think he's gotten a bit more talkative but his appetite is still crazy.

Olimar: The Ship talked enough for two Louies. Despite the President making mistakes, he still cares deeply about his employees. That's why he decided to go back himself...and for the money. We got the remaining treasure on the return trip when we rescued Louie. I don't know, but with his connection to bugs, I wonder if he was controlling it.

Web: But why would he attack you?

Olimar: Maybe he was mad I left him behind?

Kaen: Think you'll ever go back?

Olimar: I've gotten attached to the little Pikmin so I don't think I'm done with the Pikmin Planet yet.

Web: I hope you aren't because we can't wait for Pikmin 3!


Louie moved away from the machine. He looked at the rest of the group.

3D: So? Did it work?

Black: Like remember getting left on the Pikmin Planet, but getting saved?

Louie: Yes.

Black: And your adventures with us?

Louie: I remember those. I even remember my time as Void. I have all my memories back. I'm glad this device worked.

Tropic: What about when you ate all those Pik Pik carrots and bankrupted Hocotate Freight?

Louie: I don't know what you're talking about.

Thelraus: This is good, that means you know where the torpedo is.

Louie: I know the whole layout of the ship actually.

Thelraus: We don't have too much time. So lead the way.

Louie: I have a plan. Black will lead a team consisting of Tropic,Platnimia,3D,Pik,Ayphuri and half of the remaining pikmin with you. You will go to the Venenian Torpedo and disable it.. I'll lead a team that consists of Rhino, Kirby and Thelraus with the other half of the  Venenian Emperor. Are we all good?

Black: Sounds like a good plan.

Thelraus: Indeed.

Louie: Everyone else?

The rest of the group nodded, and they split the Pikmin up between the groups and went their separate ways.


On the surface, Olimar,Kaen and Webbuu searched the surface of the Pikmin Planet until they found a cave, where the radar pointed to.

Olimar: Looks like the radar is somewhere in this cave.

Kaen: That's good..or bad.

Olimar: Usually the Ship would talk about how this cave is 'dangerous'

Web: We don't have any pikmin to enter the cave with.

Olimar: We also don't have a ship to tell us not to enter it without Pikmin.

Kaen: Ha. Breaking the rules.

Web: We do what we want now.

Olimar: Within reason at least. I'm pondering what to name this cave, or whether we should or not.

Kaen: We might as well

Olimar: How about the Darkhorse Nexus?

Web: I like it.

Kaen: Me too. Seems fitting.

Olimar: Into the Darkhorse Nexus we go!

They dived into the entrance to the cave and fell to the first Sublevel.


The first sublevel was surprisingly empty, except for a breadbug dragging away a bulbmin corpse. The younger bulbmin were scattering until Olimar called them.

Olimar: We lucked out. Now we won't have to worry about tasks that only the pikmin can do.

Kaen: And we can carry treasures back.

Olimar: Uh...

Kaen: Oh yeah, no ship, and no need to get the treasures either..

Web: Let's search farther.


The second sublevel was Tiled. It had a regular wall, and a rock wall. There were a few red,yellow and blue bulborbs roaming around.  Olimar took some of the Bulbmin to take down a wall, while Web fought the red,yellow and blue bulborbs with his sword, while Kaen used the remaining Bulbmin to pick up bomb rocks to destroy the rock wall, and open up the hole to the next sublevel.

Olimar: I've never seen those kinds of bulborbs before.

Kaen: They look like unused elements from the games.

Olimar: Maybe I'll have to rename this cave. *chuckles*

Kaen: Maybe. I can't wait to share with everyone when this is all over.


The third sublevel looked like an outside area at night. A few jellyfloats and skitterleaves wandered the area. It wasn't a dangerous sublevel this time. They killed a jellyfloat and it dropped a feather. Kaen threw a Bulbmin on it and it just went in circles so they called it off. They broke a few eggs and got nectar and a few sprays.

Olimar: I remember seeing a cave like this.

Kaen: Like a rest sublevel.


A snowy level, all that was in the cave was a mossy rock and a mamuta. When they approached it however, it stood up and began to shoot rocks at them, they dodged the rocks and threw bulbmin into it and they quickly defeated it. They noticed the mamuta was surrounded by Pik Pik carrots that were standing, before the mamuta planted them

Olimar: That thing looked like a cannon beetle.

Web: It did.

Olimar: Were those Pik Pik carrots walking around? Are they the seventh type?

Web: I don't know but I think we might just be seeing things.

They had to break open the entrance to the next sublevel as well as a few fire geysers.


The fifth sublevel looked like an outside area during sunset. There were no enemies, but the radar was going off. It seemed like the Dolphin phone was in this sublevel.

Olimar: We just have to grab it, call the Dolpin and we're off.

Web: The radar's going off over here.

Olimar: I hope it's not buried. We'll have to dig it out if is, but we don't have shovels.

As they walked towards the radar, an army of Volatile Dweevils emerged from the ground and rushed at them. They jumped out of the way as at least twenty volatile dweevils exploded. However none of them held the treasure.

Web: Whew.

Olimar:  I don't think we're done yet.

Rather than a boss battle, an Iridescent Glint Beetle popped out of the ground, they pursued it, throwing Pikmin on it til it flipped over and returned to the ground after dropping the Dolphin V Phone. A bulbmin brought the phone to Olimar.

Kaen: So how do we have sublevels like this that look like they're above ground?

Olimar: I don't know. Sometimes I think these caves are in another dimension sometimes.  It would explain why they change.

Web: I wish we could take Bulbmin to the surface. I don't know why we can't.

Kaen: Because the game would be too easy?

Olimar: I try to turn them into other Pikmin if I can. If I could take the parasitic Pikmin out of them, I could use them to control enemies.

Web: So they would be like the Venenians?

Olimar: Yeah...I guess they would be like them..


They then went to the geyser of the sublevel and waved goodbye to the bulbmin. Olimar called the Dolphin V which landed near them.  The three got in the ship, and it blasted off soon. The three waved goodbye to the Pikmin Planet.


Cralechern was allowed out of the hospital, but he was wheelchair bound.

President: I hope they've made a plan against those Venenians.

Cralechern: I've been listening to the radio, there isn't an evacuation order.

President: This is a real threat, I'm guessing they're setting everything up to fight them and evacuate the citizens.

Intern: Actually, they aren't.

President: What?

Intern: The Hocotatian Government is ''deliberating'' over the information you recieved from Olimar.

President: Why!? This information is legitimate information. They can check the skies themselves if they need confirmation.

Intern:  They don't want to cause a ruckus durng the celebration of course.

President: Those blasted politicians! The end of the world is on their hands and they're too busy squabbling  to do anything about it!


Olimar arrived at the Venenian Prime. He set the Dolphin on auto pilot and the three energized onto the Venenian Prime with twenty of each kind of Pikmin.

Olimar: Let's find the rest of the group and help them.

Web: Agreed.

Kaen: We're right behind you.

They ran through the hallways of the ship with the Pikmin in tow.


The group led by Black made it to the hangar that the Venenian Torpedo was housed in. It was being prepared for launch.

Black: We have to destroy this thing.

3D: I hope Olimar's alright.

Ayphuri: ... *nods*

Platnimia: Rrrrr.

Pik: How do we destroy it though?

Black: We don't have to destroy it, we just have to keep it from launching.

Tropic: Ok.


Louie's group made it to the Emperor's Room in the ship. They saw the Venenian Emperor. He was a very large version of a Veninian with a massive head. Webs and webs of slime were formed all around the room.

Louie: There it is. The leader of their whole race.

Kirby: It looks like a giant symbiote.

Thelraus: A what?

Kirby: I'll explain later.

Rhino: I feel sorry for anyone who'd get possessed by that thing.

Kirby: I don't even think anyone could hold it. Except for your mom!*chuckles*

Rhino: *glares* So it will be just us fighting it?

Kirby: Yes, unless that 'time traveling' group shows up out of nowhere and helps.

Louie: Hey Emperor! Guess whos back!

On Hocotate, the President was disgruntled with the politicians handling of the situation. He had to do something, so he grabbed a megaphone.


President: ATTENTION EVERYONE. There is a giant torpedo headed for Hocotate! Evacuate! If it reaches our planet, anyone still here will be converted or killed!

Citizen1: Oh god!

Citizen2: WE'RE ALL GUNNA DIE!

President: AN ALIEN INVASION IS LOOMING UPON US!

Citizen3: This guy's a crackpot.

President: AND OUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING NOTHING TO STOP IT!

Citizen4: My leg!

Many people began to panic and ran around, while some people went on with their business. The President noticed a few officers heading toward him.



Black's Team consisting of Black,Tropic,Platnimia,3D,Pik and Ayphuri began to fight the Venenians working on the Torpedo. 3D swung his masamune sword, slicing through scaffolding, causing many Venenians to fall before he slashed them to pieces. Pik realize he was out of caffinated beverages, so he joined Black with the army of Pikmin.

Tropic rode on top of Platnimia to fight a bunch of Venenians. Platnimia roared, stunning a few Venenians before roasting them.  Tropic jumped off to help the IGNers on the ground. She flew up and started to rush at Venenians who were near the top of the room. Ayphuri pierced through groups of Venenians, causing them to explode in a mess of black slime. She joined Platnimia flying around and taking out the ones the IGNers couldn't reach. The Venenians began to dwindle in numbers as time went on.

Black: Looks like we're doing pretty good. We'll soon just have to remotely destroy the torpedo.

Tropic: Hopefully from the safety of the Dolphin V or Invisible Wall.

3D: I can't wait to share our epic adventures with the new users of IGN!

Pik: I hope so too. It will be a way to memorialize users we lost.

3D: I wish I could talk to Kyle again.



Team Louie struggled with the Venenian Emperor,dodging tentacles. The angered emperor used it's webs to break away at the floor,causing the foundations of the room to start collapsing. Below the floor, a chasm with acidy fuel below was revealed. They were forced to keep balance on the remaining parts of the floor. The group hung onto the pieces that were starting to crumble. During this attack, many Pikmin fell to their doom.

Louie: I was hoping being an emperor, he'd be just be big and lazy.

Rhino: If you've played any video games, you'd know the final boss is super powerful.

Louie: In my memories as Void, he seemed like one of those big bugs that the other ones carry around.

Kirby: Are you going to eat the Venenian Emperor?

Louie: No...well maybe.

Thelraus: They're disgusting creatures.

Rhino: Look out!!

As they talked, the Venenian Emperor tried to take control of Thelraus using one of it's many body parts.  Rhino tried to slice it, but a web grabbed his hands to keep him from doing so. He tried to slice his way out but the web kept reforming.

Thelraus: Agh!

Louie: Thelraus!

Thelraus: I...will...not...be a puppet to you ANY LONGER!

Emperor: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Thelraus: I know what I must do.

Louie: Wait, if going to do what I think you're going to do-

Emperor: (Don't fight, just come back to my empire. You were a great general, and when we take control of Hocotate,you'll be right along side me.)

Kirby: It talks?! Wait! It's in our minds!

Thelraus: I will not! You are terrible creatures!

Louie: We won't let you!

Kirby: Just fight it Thelraus.

Emperor: (You call us terrible creatures,but look at your races. You Chrunstains built assassin robots, you Hocotatians using Pikmin as your slaves . Not to mention you IGNers, you have staffs of deaths and those corrupt moderators who weilded them. )

Rhino: It's your fault all those things-

Emperor: (I've simply used  the tools that were already there. We're not the first to use any of those weapons, and we won't be the last.)

Kirby: Rhino! You're the closest to Thelraus.

Rhino: I'm trying!!

Thelraus: I thank you all for freeing me. I hope you will destroy this threat, so that no one else will have to go through this. Sayonara my new friends.

They watched as Thelraus jumped into the acidy fuel chambers below.  A few Pikmin also fell to their dooms and they were left with next to no Pikmin left. They struggled against the Emperor, but it seemed like a hopeless fight.

Emperor: (He was one of my greatest generals. Well, half of a great general. Good thing I still have you Void, or Louie or whatever you want to be called.)

Louie: You possessed me once, I won't let you again.

Emperor: (I've had one general die. I don't think I'm going to let another one just throw his life away.)

Louie: I hate to say it you two, but we might have to share Thelraus's fate.

Kirby: We have to fight!

Louie: But that would be fighting.

Emperor: (You don't have a chance against me. It's three of you, and most of your Pikmin are gone. I'm guessing by now, all your friends are, or will be dead.)

Rhino: Wait, it's-

Team Olimar entered the room, and began to throw their Pikmin onto the Venenian Emperor.  They commanded the pikmin onto it. They overwhelmed the creature and causing it to detach from it's slimy webbing. After more struggling, the head broke away from the webs. It plummeted to the fuel chambers below, screeching loudly until it finally died.

Rhino: OLIMAR!

Louie: You're alive!

Olimar: Yes. We survived the crash.

Louie: You all look pretty beat up. What happened?

Kirby: Where's PBB?

Olimar: Besides a wreck, we fought Admiral Mozolt. He was the reason we were sucked into the rift. That's how the Venenians knew where we'd be. I killed him, but he killed PBB before that.

Louie: Don't worry, I knew about Mozolt.

Olimar: How?

Louie: I got my memories back.

Olimar: Congratulations.

Louie: Sorry for anything I did as Void.

Olimar: No worries. It wasn't your fault.

Kaen: Glad to see you all again.

Web: I second that.

Kirby: Good to see you too.

Louie: Thanks for the help. If you hadn't shown up-

Olimar: Don't worry. No need to thank us.

Louie: I don't think I'll be able to cook a meal out of the Emperor now.

Kirby: That creature was like Venom, and the pit below was like Venom from Star Fox. So Venom just fell into Venom.

Kaen: Trying to inject everyone with venom. But we were the anti-venom that saved everyone.

Olimar: Well, let's go help Black's team!

Louie: They're in the torpedo room of the space station.

Olimar: Ok, we'll follow you guys.


During the fighting in the hangar, the Venenians activated an alarm which signaled an emergency evacuation into the torpedo at once. Many Venenians from all over the ship rushed into the Torpedo room. Some began to energize into the torpedo. Team Black continued to fight the near endless wave of Mr. Slimeballs.

Black: Uh oh!

Ayphuri: ...!

3D: That sure is a lot of them!

Black: I think we're going to have to destroy the torpedo here.

Tropic: But that would kill us. I think we can take them all.

Pik: Well, if I had some coffee. I bet I could go super speed.

Tropic: I think I'm going to try something with Platnimia.

Olimar's Team entered the room and began to assist Black's team in fighting the aliens.

Olimar: We're back.

Black: You're alive? We saw something explode on the F.A.S, and then it vanished.

Louie: Good news is, the Emperor is dead.

Kirby: Shouldn't they have all died?

Black: I don't think they work that way.

3D: Olimar!

Kaen: Looks like you got your hands full.

Pik: We were doing fine!

Kaen: That's what Louie's group said.

Olimar: We're going to have to use all of our power and resources to stop the Venenians.

Black: I wonder if we still have that chainsaw an flamethrower that Kyle wanted to replace his arms with.

Olimar: No, but I still have his staff. But I'll command Pikmin as well as fighting with it since I'm a master at

Web: Well I'm a...pikminmaster too.

IGNers: Agh.

Kirby: I remembered, I still have coffee. It makes my head hurt more though.

Pik: Thanks Kirby.

Kirby: No problem.

Louie: So what's the plan of attack?

Olimar: No plan of attack, just kill them all.

Kaen: But that in itself is a plan of attack.

Green: Don't worry.

Web: Ancient Deities. I call upon you to assist me in this battle.

They all spread out among the room, some to various entrances to the hangar. Olimar started to melt Venenians with the mod staff.  Louie tricked a few Venenians by pretending to be Void, causing them to fight each other. However this trick started to work less and less and he was forced to just fight them head on with Pikmin.

Near the Torpedo,Green and Rhino fought back to back,slashing through more of them, leaving black sludge behind. In the middle of fighting,Rhino threw a bomb at a platform, which collapsed from the explosion onto even more Slimeballs. Green tossed a bomb as well into a crowd, vaporizing them. 3D helped in their fight until he went off to go assist Web.

Black led a huge charge of multicolored Pikmin against a separate army of Venenians heading in from the south. Pikmin and Slimeballs flew in the air as the two walls of bodies collided. Kaen fought on the north side which also had a larger group converging. He sprayed his Pikmin with the ultra spicy spray. Kaen then sprayed the aliens with an ultra bitter spray which turned them to stone.  The Pikmin curb stomped the first bunch of attackers. He had a Pikmin run a few sprays over to Black to assist on that side. Black sprayed the south side Venenians with a bitter spray and the Pikmin suddenly turned them to dust.

Kirby also had his own crowd at the western end. He threw tons of Purple Pikmin onto the Venenians, killing many, and stunning others. He kept tossing the Purples onto the Venenians which kept them at bay. Ayphuri pierced through the stunned groups, causing many to die.

Web held his sword up in the air, expecting a lightning to shoot down and power it. Nothing happened. 3D chopped an attacker in half while Web was standing there. When Web returned to fighting is when an aura started to surround him. Suddenly he had more power than ever before. In addition to slicing the creatures to pieces, he also conjured up a group of Anti-Venenians which would explode when they contacted their counterparts. 3D also looked like he had an aura, but it seemed unconnected to the ancient magic that Webbuu had called upon. However it seemed like an optical illusion.

For Pik, as soon as he drank the coffee, time seemed to slow down for him. He started to punch the Mr. Slimeballs, and they would be sent flying. All everyone else saw was a blur. Pik ran through a crowd of them, and drew silly faces on them. He saw Kirby and helped the three with their fight, before running to other parts of the battlefield to help. Pik made a tornado that picked crowds of minions, but it just seemed to scatter them around the hangar.

Tropic and Platnimia were on the eastern entrance of the area. Platnimia roared at the Slimeballs,and would breathe flames onto the stunned creatures. Tropic didn't really have any weapons but he had a some Red Pikmin that he'd throw into the hordes. He also punched at the slime organisms to help out the Red Pikmin.

However, they began to become overwhelmed by the mass of Venenians. All the others could see was a bunch of darkness. A yellowish light poked through the darkness before a mob of Slimeballs was vaporized in a fireball. The flames took the form of a dragon. The large dragon began to incinerate hordes of Venenians. There was no sign of Tropic,Platnimia, or even the Red Pikmin, but the draconic fire creature seemed to hold the West End just fine.

Ayphuri had went out on her own, looking just like a beam of light just shooting through the enemy.  She was moving so fast that it just seemed like a light bouncing around the room. However Pik was moving fast enough to wave hello to her before the two cut through another mob.  The numbers began to dwindle as more Venenians either were killed, or energized.

Eventually, few were left on all the sides. Ones left on the East were disintegrated, ones on the West, North, and South were destroyed by the Pikmin armies. Ayphuri and Pik slowed down as they annihilated stragglers on those ends. Near the torpedo, Olimar killed a few with the staff while Louie used his Pikmin. 3D,Rhino and Green ran around the compound to strike down remaining Venenians. Any that were not killed by them were quickly exploded by Web's group of Anti-Venenians. All the Venenians were now dead, or energized into the Torpedo. A countdown started on the screens in the room, counting down to launch.

Green: Yay! We killed them all!

Olimar: Not all of them, there's still the ones in the weapon.

Web: That was pretty fun. Using those ancient powers was pretty fun.

Pik: I think I'm going to lay off the coffee for a bit.

Ayphuri: *laughs*

3D: I can't wait to write this all down! This'll be such a cool story back on IGN.

Louie: I think one of them ate some of the chocolate bar I had. Those monsters!

Olimar: We have to stop the Venenian Torpedo. Someone activated the launch codes. I'm going to go up there and try to shut the launch down and confront whoever started it.

3D: I'll go with you Olimar.

Olimar: *nods*



The President was arrested by the police. He was struggling as they dragged him away.

President: THEY MUST KNOW THE TRUTH.

Officer: You're under arrest.

President: For what?!?!

Officer: Disturbing the peace, and causing panic.

President: BUT I'M WARNING THEM!

Officer: It doesn't look that way from here. Look up. Nothing.

President: BUT-

The President was moved away from the crowds as he furiously yelled.



Riding Platnimia, Olimar and 3D went to a higher level of the hangar where a control panel was. The plan was to disengage the torpedo.

3D: I think we can shut this down Olimar.

Olimar: Yes.

3D: We're going to save Hocotate Olimar.

Chrtiunn: No!

3D: Olimar!

General Chrtiunn was there with a Venenian controlling his dead body. He struck at Olimar with a knife but 3D jumped in the way and took the blow instead. Platnimia screeched at Chrtiunn, forcing the Venenian out again and killed it with a blaze of fire.

However by that time, the Venenian Torpedo was launched through a tube and blasted out into space. The entire group watched it through a large window. The Venenian Prime was automatically set to self destruct in two and a half minutes. Olimar stood hopelessly as the group stood silently and looked on in horror as the torpedo approached Hocotate. The planet was now lost, and they had failed to protect it. There was nothing more they could do to stop the torpedo.

As everyone stood, too shocked and horrified to do anything, Louie climbed up the ladder to the control panel Olimar was next to and began to operate it using the information he learned as Void. He energized Olimar,the IGNers, Platnimia,Ayphuri and all the Pikmin onto the Invisible Wall.


Louie: Good bye.

They all eventually energized onto the Invisible Wall while he energized himself onto the Dolphin V. Soon after the Venenian Prime exploded.


3D: I think me and Kyle are going to eat a big bucket of chicken. I'm glad to have you as my friends, and glad I got to meet you Captain Olimar.

Olimar: 3D...

3D finally succumbed to his injuries and died. Everyone stood in utter helplessness as they continued to watch the Venenian Torpedo dart towards the planet.



On Hocotate, word of the approaching torpedo got out among the crowds from those using telescopes. The crowd broke into panic once more, and the President was released. He went back to stand beside the wheelchair bound Cralechern. The two looked up at the night sky.

President: This is the end? Isn't it?

Cralechern: I think it is President.

President: I'm glad to have had you at Hocotate Freight. I hope Olimar and Louie know that too.

The Venenian Torpedo was now visible to everyone in the city.



Louie finished typing a text message on the computer which he transmitted to the Invisible Wall. Afterwards, he dismissed the five Onions surrounding the ship and ordered them towards the Invisible Wall. He took control of the Dolphin V and flew it towards the Venenian Torpedo.

Just as the Torpedo was about to enter the atmosphere of Hocotate, Louie flew the Dolphin into the blazing engines of the Venenian Torpedo and both exploded instantaneously.



Crowds cheered and the President and Cralechern breathed a sigh of relief. The panic stopped an more celebration occured.

In the ship, everyone was speechless at what had happened. They were joyous that Hocotate had been saved but were also sad of what had become of Louie. They landed the ship down in El Capitale De Hocotate. The IGNers put on helmets so they could survive on the planet, while Olimar took his own helmet off. Strangely the Pikmin and Platnimia can survive on Hocotate without helmets.Olimar's group met up with the President, and the group began to walk through the city together.

President: Olimar! Good to see you, but where's Louie?

Olimar: Louie was on the Dolphin V when it collided with the torpedo.

Chalchern: Oh.

President: I'm sorry to hear.

Olimar: With the destruction of the Venenian Prime, Fleet Admiral Ship,their Satellite Ships and the Venenian Torpedo, I think we've stomped out the Venenian threat.

President: You guys should check out the festival. Olimar and I are just going to reminisce for a bit, so go have some fun while you're here.

Black: That sounds like a good idea.

The IGN group was walking around the city,leaving Olimar and the President to talk alone. Those two began to make their way towards Hocotate Freight.

Kaen: This city is so amazing.

Web: I can't believe we're on Hocotate.

Black: It is stunning.

Tropic: One day we'll have to write about our adventures.

Rhino: How do you eat food with a helmet on?

Black: Some of these snacks look like they were made with some of Louie's notes.

Tropic: We did good, didn't we?

Platnimia: Prrrrr.

Tropic: I'll take that as a yes. I'm glad you weren't a rock.

Kirby: Want some coffee Pik?

Pik: I don't know.

Kirby: It's decaf.

Pik: I'll try some then.

Kaen: This was fun, I just wish our friends that sacrificed themselves were able to see it.

Black: I think they would love to see this.

Web: Maybe they can. Hopefully.

Rhino: So you can eat with the helmet on!

Tropic: Want to go check out the Hocotate Zoo later?

Kaen: Sure. I wonder what creatures they have there.

Green: I know! This is cool.

Pik: I hope we get to stay a while. Ooh! Pie!

Black: So what do you say we finish that game of cards we had before this whole adventure?

Kaen:I don't even remember where we were in it. Let's just start a new one my friends.

Black: We could also have some new players too!

Rhino: Yeah!

Pik: But the pies!

Green: Pies?

Kaen: I am hungry from that battle. Ok, pie first, cards second.

Black: Let's just eat the pie, and play cards.

The group bought a pack of Hocotate playing cards, and also bought some pies. They sat at an empty table under the night sky. Black,Rhino, Tropic and Kaen sat in a usual seat. Green, Pik, Kirby and Web decided to watch this game to see how it was played. Ayphuri and Platnimia also watched.

Kaen: I think you guys can jump in when you're ready.

Rhino: You're all going to be crying when I'm done with you.

Black: You've got to be kidding. The three of you are gonna fail miserably in this.

Tropic: I'm going to quickly put an end to this pitiful match.

Kaen: Yeah, let's just hurry up and see who wins this. Seven cards go to each player.

Kaen passed out seven cards to each player. As the card game went on, a crowd of Hocotatians actually formed around the table. The IGN group, and crowd watched intently at the game, eventually Green,Pik,Web,Kirby, and eventually Ayphuri even joined in on the game too.


The President took Olimar back to Hocotate Freight to show him what he had been saving to give Oimar for his promotion. The newest,shiniest, never before flown Dolphin VI.

President: This is a gift I was planning on giving you for your promotion to Admiral. I'd like to present you with it now.

Olimar: Thank you. But...

President: But?

Olimar: I'd like to continue my work at Hocotate Freight as a captain.

President: Well, it's still my gift to you no matter what you decide to do. You've earned it.

Olimar: Thanks.

President: Don't mention it.

Olimar: Louie was a pretty great co-pilot. He was pretty quiet, but he opened up and talked more than he first did.I think he had a lot going on in his head...though sometimes I wonder if the lights were on.

President: Yes.

Olimar: I used to be a loner on my missions. But I couldn't have done anything I've done lately without help.

President: Yeah. Then you forgot him and we had to go back.

Olimar: He wasn't as mad as I thought he'd be though.

Olimar: After all Louie did for me on the Pikmin Planet, and all he did to fight the Venenians...do you think he'd make captain by now?

President: No doubt. He'd be a captain.

Olimar: I think even more than a captain.

President: Oh?

Olimar: I think for all he did recently,he should earn him a postmortem promotion to Admiral.




....

Olimar was starting on another captain's log.

It has been one month since the Louie's death. Since then, the entire populace of Hocotate has learned everything concerning the Venenians and IGN. There were some award ceremonies for myself and the IGNers, as well as posthumous awards for Louie. Cralechern made a full recovery and was able to walk again. That's certainly a good thing since Cralechern and I are the only employees left.

The IGN-ers got to enjoy Hocotate for a while. It was nice to see them have a lot of fun. It was a whole new world for them. I offered to take them to the Pikmin Planet to see it in person but they chose not to. They decided it was best to keep their memories of the Pikmin Planet in the experiences of the video games and not take away from it by going to the actual planet.

Using the blueprints from the first Rift Creator, they constructed another, more stable one aboard the Invisible Wall. It was one that they used to open a rift, one that could be kept open as long as they wished. The rift also didn't violently try to suck everything in either. I traveled back to the Pikmin Planet to recover the bodies of Goddard and PBB, so they along with 3D's body can be given a proper burial back on IGN.

I'm going to accompany the IGN-ers back for one final good bye. I'm certainly going to miss them.

|End of Log|
-

Olimar then concluded the log. He was on the Dolphin VI along with Cralechern who replaced Louie's position as his freight partner. Olimar energized onto the Invisible Wall. The group on the ship activated the Rift Creator and made a rift to IGN. They flew through it and landed the ship on the Pikmin Board.




On IGN, they found that the IGN users have begun to reconstruct the Pikmin Board and repopulate the Vestibule. Things were not returning to normal, but better than normal. Moderators and Administrators were now living alongside regular users equally but still had a spark of evil inside of their hearts. Black was giving a speech to a bunch of IGN users, the other users stood up to talk as well.

Black: Normally, mods and users would not be working together like they are. You wouldn't have seen mods building up these threads. But now, we have mods and admins working together to build a better board.

Kaen:We may have fought quite a lot in the past, but we're going to make IGN greater than before.

Web:They all started out as regular users at some point, and you never know when you could be modded.

Tropic: Many may be tempted to go back to the dark side but you have to show them there's still good in them.

Rhino: So help teach the mods to follow the example of Kyle and bring forth their inner goodness.

Black and the other IGNers stepped down and left to an applause. They walked down to Olimar.

Olimar: That was a nice speech.

Black: Thank you. We've been going across IGN, helping it to reunite into one community rather than be divided like it was.

Olimar: Good.

Web: Yeah. After all the destruction caused by the Venenians manipulation and rebellion. Everyone just sat and looked at all the destruction and death...

Olimar: And realized that this isnt what they wanted?

Web: Yes.

Olimar: I should get you all Pikmin hats or something. You helped me get my ship parts,and save Hocotate and now you're rebuilding your world.

Pik: We don't have an onion though. *chuckles*

Olimar: Like the purples and whites or maybe you all have one big onion.

Black: Maybe...

Ayphuri: Olimar?

Olimar: Yes?

Ayphuri: I'd like to remain with the IGN users.

Olimar: Oh. That's alright then.

Ayphuri: Thank you.

Olimar: With your power of healing, may be the key to restoring the fallen world of IGN to purity.

Kaen: She's definitely become less shy. Kind of like me. She also called you Olimar instead Orima this time.

Tropic: An important part of Pikmin Board history is coming to an end...but a new part of history is beginning.

Olimar: The same for Hocotate.

Black: Before you go. We'd like you to come to the memorial for those lost in battle.

The IGNers and Olimar went to a special plot that was near the center of town. The names on the memorial stones read pikminBigBrother, goddard19,3dgamer91, and kyle19939. Olimar placed Kyle's staff against his memorial stone. Another stone is formed as well, this time for Louie.

Olimar: Let us say a few words for our fallen friends.

Black: I'm going to miss all of them. Kyle was here for 3 years, and PBB and 3D for 1 or 2 years. Goddard however was struck down soon after his IGN life even started.

Tropic: Goddard signed up around the same time I did. He was a good friend. Kyle,3D, and PBB were all awesome too.

Green: Yes. They were all great users. Goddard did sign up the time me,Kaen, tropic and Kaen did didn't he?

Web: Kyle shaped the board. They all did.

Kaen: I hope they're all in a better place.

Tropic: I hope so too.

Green: Agreed.

Pik: Farewell friends.

Kirby: I'll miss them.

Rhino: They were all so cool.

Kaen: None of them got to have icons before their demise.

Tropic: That's a shame.

Kirby: Yeah.

Olimar: Louie was a great freight partner.

Black: He was pretty cool.

Kaen: I liked his rivalry with Goddard, it was pretty fun to watch.

Green: Yeah. The stones are even next to each other.

Web: I wish they could see the board now.

Tropic: Well I have been reading about alchemy...

Green: Maybe we can-

Kaen: Er...let's not try that.

Black: Let's have a moment of silence now.


They had a moment of silence for their fallen comrades.


Black: So I guess you have to depart Olimar?

Olimar: Yes.

Black: Think we'll ever see you again?

Olimar: Maybe if 'Pikmin 3' ever get's released.

All: *laughs*

Olimar: I should take a vacation with my family after I finish my delivery. I've heard Koppai sounds nice this time of year. Maybe I'll visit Leatra,Avalance,Watea and Vanizhi too.

Black: I haven't heard of the first, but those last four..those are from Stranded.

Tropic: You could visit Zebes, or Cornaria or Odyapes...or-

Rhino: Planet Popstar, or Planet Shroob..

Pik: Or Meteo.

Olimar: Those planets all sound awfully familiar. I believe I've met people from all of those planets.

Green: You should take us with you to those if you ever do.

Olimar: *smirks* Maybe. But it is probably my time to leave.

Pik: Aw.

Olimar: If I might use your regular names, BlackFlame208, Kaen_Drought,pikmin-blob,tropicguin,Rhino1004,green111pikminrules,HardKirby,pikmin1212,and Ayphuri...I will miss you all.You too Platnimia.

Platnimia: Rrrrrr.

Tropic: It was so cool to finally meet you in person! Later Olimar.

Kaen: It was. It's not often you get to meet one of your favorite characters.

Green: We're going to miss you too. Goodbye Olimar.

Black: Thank you for all the help you gave us.

Web: I do hope we'll see you again eventually.

Rhino: Farewell Space Captain.

Pik: Goodbye Olimar!

Kirby: Bye Captain Olimar.

Ayphuri: Bye Olimar.

Olimar: Goodbye everyone!

Olimar walked into the Invisible Wall. The Pikmin Boarders waved at Olimar as the ship lifted off and he waved back to them. He noticed a few of them were teary eyed, and he himself shed a tear. He flew through the rift and back to his own dimension.



He used the Rift Creator to close to the rift,and prepared to self destruct the ship as per orders from the Hocotatian Military's orders. They didn't want the Rift Creator causing any more trouble. Before he did so, he noticed the unread message from Louie. He opened up the message.


Olimar. Despite the fact that I didn't work with you as long as I thought I would, you were still there for my entire career. Finally getting to work with the legendary Captain Olimar was a fantastic experience. But you were more than just a legend, you were a friend. I used to be quiet simply because I was a bit awestruck. As time passed though, I started to open up to you more and you listened to me.

I did get you to try at least a few of my recipes. I hope maybe you'll look through my recipe book and try all of them, well, the edible ones at least. Enough about food though. You weren't just a great captain, but a great friend too. I was a bit mad that you accidentally left me on the planet, but I did get to spend time to think. I then understood what it was like for you when you had been stranded.

Then we got stranded on yet another planet, this time populated with people. But we got seperated, and I was turned into Void, but you saved me from that fate,and even helped me get my memory back. I'm glad we had to have a lot of awesome adventures before I have to..you know. I'm glad I could call you 'friend'.

Can I ask you to deliver a few messages to my grandmother? I'm sure she's taking this pretty hard. Can you tell her that her emails made our trip feel less alien and that her encouraging me to eat bugs helped me survive the planet. I'd also like you to deliver the cookbook I made from my notes to her. She was right when she said I became an extraordinary man...When you visit her to deliver all of this, please sit down and talk with her for a while. Share some stories, and eat some of her great cooking...

Before I go I have a dark secret...it wasn't Space Bunnies that ate the Golden Pikpik Carrots...


It was me!

Goodbye...Olimar...my friend.
-

Olimar smiled. He sent the letter to the Dolphin VI to save it, and set up the self destruct sequence for the Invisible Wall. He transports to the Dolphin VI and remotely activated it, causing the Invisible Wall to explode,along with the Rift Creator.

Olimar: Cralechern. Is the shipment ready?

Cralechern: Yes Captain Olimar.

Olimar: Good.

Cralechern: It's taken a while for you to get this shipment delivered.

Olimar: Well my journey through IGN with Louie did feel like it took a while. It felt like 8 years had passed.

Cralechern: Let's call the President to let him know the shipment's ready to go.

Olimar: Thanks for reminding me.

President: (phone) Yes Olimar?

Olimar: The shipment is ready.

President: (phone)And everything's there?

Olimar: 5 Onions, 200 Pikmin each.

President: (phone) That's good. See you soon Olimar. (hangs up)

Olimar: I haven't not made a delivery and I'm not about to miss this one.

Cralechern: Yes sir.

Olimar: Let's complete this delivery.

....



Finally able to complete the shipment that he was making before he ended up on IGN. He flew the ship towards Hocotate.




The End...?
