Pik Pik Empire/Emergence's Rebellion vs. Aquatic Might
Attack #1
Relations between Aquatic Might and the Pik Pik Empire had not been so optimal after an unexpected termination of their alliance. Each was wary of the other, and sure enough, an attack came to Aquatic Might. Two armies marched towards the base, one out for revenge, the other just being loyal to its ally. "Attention, ALL! Invasion alert! Invasion alert! All units to battle stations!" shouted a lookout Hyper Groink, perched on the Iron Lookout Tower of Aquatic Might's base. The alarm wailed and soldiers rushed to their positions. Within minutes, a battalion of Hyper Groinks and Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae were stationed behind the walls, with one on the Lookout Tower to shout directions. Aerial units floated over the walls and marched out to meet the incoming force.
Meanwhile, Emergence's Rebellion was making plans. "Okay, guys, let's go!" A huge army of Ravenous Whiskerpillars tunneled under the lake and began moving towards the base. A cluster of Blue Pikmin also began swimming towards Aquatic Might's front area, aiming to drain the moat with the secret button. This was immediately halted as the Blowhogs floated over the Steel Walls. The Cyclone Blowhogs blew massive gusts of wind, the helpless Pikmin getting hurled around and sucked into several whirlpools the gales had created. Blizzard Blowhogs spewed freezing liquid, finishing the Blue Pikmin and icing a good portion of the lake surface over, as they had to fly everywhere to get the scattered 'min. The Pik Pik Empire watched in fear on the other side of the lake, and decided to try something else.
During this, the Whiskerpillars had not been idle. Making steady pace towards the base, they finally arrived underneath it. All according to plan, they tunneled upwards, and...
*Crack*
"Owowowowowowow! #%$&ing cement!" A Groink looked down, hearing muffled voices beneath its feet. Emergence's Rebellion hadn't counted on the floor being covered in cement. Retreating and tunneling along the perimeter of the base, a Whiskerpillar hit its head again. "What is it now?!" it shouted, hardly being able to see in the dark. "Hey, wait a sec...this is...this is the lake-draining button! All right!" Eagerly, they pressed it, gleefully hearing water gush away elsewhere, hoping to be rewarded as master tacticians...until the lake started draining on them. Coughing and splattering, the helpless Whiskerpillars rushed for air, but it was hopeless. They drowned in the darkness of their own tunnels. Draining the lake was a thorned rose.
The Pik Pik Empire was marching over the drained lake area towards the base, when ten MALaser sources flew into them, slaughtering some of their Pikmin. Immediately the five Four-Gunners marched out, blasting off shots rapidly. Bewildered, the Empire gave a command. "Pik Pik Tanks! Fire!" A timid gunner squeaked, "W-we didn't bring any ammo!" Three of the Pik Pik Tanks had already been blown to pieces.
"...
Retreat! Onions, advance!" Three Onions, impressive-looking after the past failures, zoomed up, carrying plenty of Pikmin. They quickly dodged the seemingly endless MALasers and soared over the walls. Swarmers buzzed up, swinging their tiny blades. The Onions pulled out their fire and water guns, and the Swarmers fell in clouds, exploding too late to damage the Onions. Hundreds of Red and Yellow Pikmin were dropped in Aquatic Might's base, and rabidly attacked the defenses. Unfortunately for them, the Four-Gunners had stepped over the walls back into the base with the Onions, and quickly cut down the Pikmin. The Onions did their best to burn and destroy some of the enemy troops and equipment, and several Spiderworts were burned, but there were simply too many projectiles flying at them at once, primarily from the Anti-Air Turrets. As the Yellow Onion was blown out of the sky and destroyed, the other two decided it was time to leave.
While it caused damage, this event was also a good diversion, because the enemy troops had moved right up to the walls, and the Empire's Groinks had already blown two of them down with nothing to stop them. However, with the enemy Cannon Beetle Larvae and Gatling Groinks back at their posts, they were soon driven back by loads of GGBombs and boulders. The two invading armies joined together for one final assault--But the Four-Gunners stood in their way. With a mad war cry, and nothing left in it but to fight, the attacking force's Groinks, Crystal Bulborbs, and ?.?.?. Min charged with all they had. The Disruptor knocked some out along with the flurry of MALasers flying, but the charge was quite impressive.
The Blowhogs and Bomb Jugglers had flown over the walls and were combatting any troops they found. Groinks and Crystal Bulborbs fired to burst the Juggler balloons, and the Pikmin ripped them to pieces as they fell. Fish Tanks emerged and gave it their all, but against the faster and far superior Mini Missile Tanks and Shock Bots, they were nothing. Without the lake, the Iron Battlecruisers couldn't arrive to give help. In spite of this, the Steel Four-Gunners were still killing left and right without anything to stop their shooting and squashing rampage.
Suddenly a black blob of acid struck a Four-Gunner and dazed it for a second--The Smokey Progg hadn't been brought along for nothing. Seeing their chance with the Four-Gunner's stomping feet out of commission for a moment, the ?.?.?. Min rushed in and possessed the dazed machine. Terrified, the other four FGs found themselves being fired upon by their own friend. The Smokey Progg squirted off more acid to keep them dazed while the possessed one shot. One of the confused FGs was blown to pieces (With extra help from the attacking side's Groinks), but it wasn't long before the possessed one crumpled in a heap, the ?.?.?. Min inside of it dying as it fell. It was a noble attempt, but there were simply too many defenses to keep up. With their last hope destroyed, Emergence's Rebellion and the Pik Pik Empire turned tail and ran.
==========
I understand this really didn't go to plan for the attacking side and a lot of troops weren't included, but most of the defenses weren't accounted for in their plans or were in no position to attack.
