Treasure Hunters vs. Frostbiters: Raid #1
Frost was wandering around the base, managing his army's production. It had been a rather bland day. Almost nothing of interest had happened. The cave was still dark. It was still quiet. It was still snowy. It was a completely generic day...and then they struck. A loud explosion and the scream of a group of Cyan Pikmin jolted him to his senses instantly. The Bulborb whirled around to see a cluster of Puffy Blowhogs in the dark distance, blowing Careening Dirigibugs and Jellyfloats towards his base. The Jellyfloats were carrying Purple Pikmin and bomb-rocks, which were being hurled around his base and causing confusion. The Careening Dirigibugs were laying waste to a building and generating havoc all around. Sodafloat, the enemy general, was flying in the front lines. "Death to the Jellyfloat infringers!" he yelled.
The sturdy Frostbiter general caught his senses immediately, reacting to the sudden and unexpected onslaught as best he could: "Bullet Seed Turret! Fire!" The gatling-styled Turret instantly started popping Blowhogs and Careening Dirigibug balloons, which rolled around on the ground helplessly until they were bitten to death by the Frostbiters' Bulborb infantry. The Blowhogs, however, were a different story. When they popped, they zoomed towards the turret, revealing bomb-rock refills they had been carrying. There was a loud "BLANG!" and the turret blew to pieces. "@%&$!" shouted Frost. "Man the Blast-Rock Cannons! Blow the others down!" "Yes sir!" Several more Blowhogs went down, but another Cannon went down to the same kind of suicide strike that knocked out the Turret. Other areas of the base needed assistance as well--There were a lot more than Dirigibugs, Jellyfloats, and Blowhogs involved in the action. Shearwigs, Honeywisps, and Snitchbugs zoomed about, delivering more damage.
It was short-lived, however. The entire base was now aware of the attack, and was reacting as best they could. Snowy Cannon Beetle Larvae were blasting snowballs out left and right, finishing many of the Shearwigs. Snow Blossoms and Crystal Bulborbs laid waste to the Purple Pikmin. The battle went back and forth as the Treasure Hunters' Swooping Snitchbugs began using bows to shoot down the Frostbiters' Jellyfloats with Bitter Spray-tipped arrows. The Jellyfloats begame sluggish when they were hit, and crumpled to the ground--The Shearwigs had a feast. Honeywisps zoomed over the defenders and dropped lines of Mini Bomb-Rocks. The surprise attack had given the Treasure Hunters a heavy advantage, and they were doing quite well. Their Breadbugs also happened to be treasure hunting under the action. Without the Frostbiters knowing, they jacked into their Bitter Berry supply and made off with several of them. The Frostbiters' Puffy Blowhogs made an excellent move when they zoomed over Sodafloat's aerial units and dumped bombs on them, but nonetheless, it seemed that against all odds, the Treasure Hunters would win...
And then the Snowy Cannon Beetle came. With tremors shaking the ground as it walked, the Beetle launched a massive snowball through the air, knocking Dirigibugs out of the air and crunching a group of Purple Pikmin. Sodafloat was no fool. Within the first three snowballs, he knew it would be genocide to try to kill it without any machines. "Retreat! We'll get 'em next time!" The Treasure Hunters fired one last wave and then broke off running. The Frostbiters let out a cheer, and Frost himself was quite thrilled. Sodafloat had taken heavy losses, but he would be back.
