Yes, I have both of your plans. And taunting is fine, just don't go overboard with it.

All right now, no need to get riled up. I'm just about finished with my work, so I'll start working on the battle.

Bulborb Squad & Tales of Legacy vs. Invincimin, Battle 2
“This place is truly remarkable, just as Olimar described it!” Walking leisurely, General Jade seemed like a lunatic speaking to the air; only a closer look would’ve revealed that a small device in his ear was recording his speech.
“And now, I am approaching Olimar’s Forest of Hope landing site … Where there is now a giant fort, just as my wildlife slaves- !”
Suddenly given the stinky eye by the accompanying Bulborb Squad, Jade added out loud, “Just like my beloved wildlife partner said, a giant fort that must be investigated! Contrary to Olimar’s description, the planet’s wildlife seem to have a highly advance instinct. Enough to gage the mood of other species, even foreign one like I … !”
The Bulborb Squad had rushed at the Invincimin base as a group, eager to taste the incredibly large selection of rare Pikmin, leaving Jade behind.
“Pickled Pikpik Carrots! What are those fool Bulborbs doing! We must salvage the attack, Pikmin follow your plans!”
At Jade’s order, The MechoDrill dove underground, followed by a large group of Brown Pikmin. A few of the Brown dug under their general to guard him against a ground attack. As Jade took his prepared defensive position, the Bulborb Squad waddled ahead. Charging straight in, the group of Bulborbs began devouring the many hued Pikmin with ease. The frenzied Pikmin squeaks suddenly alerted the two Hocotatian leaders about the danger that fell upon their base again.
“It’s those jungle savages again! Luke, get the White and Brown to watch out for a ground attack. I’ll lead this attack myself.” As Luke scrambled off the set up the defenses, Jacob jumped onto a Speeder.
“Now let’s show them what happens when the commanding officer gets on the field.” Revving his engine up, the general smirked as his ship was joined by four AI controlled ship. Lightning may not strike twice, but complete victory will.
With Luke commanding leadership, the Invincimin were able to regain their balance and stop their hemorrhaging losses. The Purple Pikmin alone already nearly matched the number of attacking Bulborbs. With their superior strength, the Purple Pikmin pushed backed their foes back, despite the small amount of Bulbmin airdropped. 10 Honeywisps was simply not enough to properly launch a paratrooper attack. It wasn’t long before the Honeywisps, nearly dead with exhaustion deliver their final load, not because they were finished though. Silver Pikmin zoomed across the skies, relieving the Honeywisps of their burden. Tumbling to the ground, neither Honeywisps nor their passenger Bulbmins survived. With resounding booms, the Laserball defense destroyed several of the large attacking Red Bulborbs.
Impatient, the Electrical Beetles and remaining Bulbmin, charged up with nectar, charged in. Not expecting an electrical attack, quite a few Pikmin fell before Luke remembered his basic Pikmin training.
“Yellows, attack those Ele- agh!”
“Ohohoho! Excellent work! I must have this recorded for the vacation reel!” Luke pulled himself up as he checked his suit.
80% Integrity, Damage Diagnosis: Intense Light Amplification Stimulation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation … But no wild creature had lasers, and they couldn’t speak. Pulling himself up, Luke stared at his laughing foe.
“Y- You’re not an animal! You’re a Hocotatian!”
“Indeed my young friend. I am simply a researching scientist. I find this planet to be … fascinating, just as your attempt to survive. How will the unforeseen factor of a Hocotatian rival affect your decisions, I wonder?” Jade mused as his squad of Green Pikmin joined the defending Silver Pikmin in the sky. With laser guns, the Invincimin’s Silver Pikmin stood no chance. Valiently, the Silvers tried their best to prevent the attacking Greens from firing upon their captain again, but their strength was diminishing in the face of superior foes. The two Laserball Cannons attempted push back the attackers, but the number of Green was great in both number and swiftness. Many Green still survived to attack the struggling Captain. Trying to pull back his forces, Luke took another blast from the flying Green. 60% integrity left.
Attacking Orange and Cyan Pikmin grappled with the Invinicim’s Pikmin, but they were evenly matched. However, Luke’s Silvers were nearly exterminated by Jade’s signature Green attack force. “Hmm, well how would you say your position changed Officer Luke?” asked Jade as he smiled.
The smell of charred flesh suddenly filled the air. Luke worriedly dragged himself up to check his life support. Nothing was wrong. He checked his surrounding for the burnt corpse and departing spirit of his Pikmin, but there was none.
Roaring from the back of the base, a volley of Bomb Rocks smashed against the invading Bulborbs. Great flying lances of light came next, slicing away swaths of the attacking Green. A squad of Blue Pikmin came dashing from the Weapon Storage, blasting down the Greens with their new laser pistol. Coming from another direction, five war machine came into view, firing off their Bomb Rocks and laser.
“General Jacob! You’ve arrived!”
“Obviously Luke! Now let’s see what Mr. Sadistic Scientist has to say.”
“So this is the person who given my wildlife friends so much trouble. In this case, I can not say that you are greater in person, nay, your reputation would seem to be greater then your actual skill! Let me demonstrate some of my newest invention. Behold, the Mecha-Paraskevi!”
From the rear, the Mecha-Paraskevil erupted in a shower of scrap metal as is drilled through a Speeder. Some of the Silver Pikmin took the initiative to drop White Pikmin on the machine, but White Pikmin couldn’t do much damage despite the weak metal. Still, the lumbering machine was clearly slowing down. With a concentrated blast, the surviving Invincimin machines blasted the Mecha-Paraskevil apart.
“So, you defeated one of my machines. It was merely a prototype. But, now is the time that your defenses are undermined, if you get my drift. MechoDrill, finish them! …”
“So sorry, Mr. Fancy Pants. It seems that my White Pikmin already discovered your … “Surprise” underground attack. So, my 2,000 strong White and Brown Pikmin took the liberty of relieving your ground forces of their duty.” Jacob returned smirking.
“Hmm, very well. I will withdraw. Decorated Cannon Beetle, fire and cover our escape.” The hidden DCBs rose out of their hiding place and fired upon the Invincimin, damaging a Skiff and flattening several Pikmin. Luke and Jacob had to flee immediately with their war machine, for the DCBs boulder was magnetically attracted to their metallic suit and machine.
With that, the remaining Tale of Legacy and Bulborb Squad departed as quietly as they arrived.
“Are you ok Luke? I have something to tell you,” Jacob asked as he checked his subordinate’s suit.
“You’re my father?”
“! … What kind of tomfoolery is this! I should hope not I’m your father. All that unpaid child support … No, what I mean to say you did decent. Not good, because only I can do that.”
“Gee, thanks boss.” Luke mumbled as the suit diagnostic was completed. Well, back to the daily grind.

I can't see the plans, so I can't really make a balanced review, but the battle was well-done. Better than the last. Also, did I detect a few Dr. Morris, Caulder, and Javier references?
Good job in general.

Well, to be honest, I found myself a little confused at the very beginning, I wasn't sure what was happening. Maybe it was my fault for not doing a refresher on the previous update, but after about the fourth paragraph I clued in. Again, I ain't the brightest hammer in the crayon box, so... eh. Otherwise, the battle was good, with witty dialogue. However, (this isn't your fault) but whenever I hear the name Jade, I think of a girl, not a guy. The whole battle (I didn't really pay attention to pronouns and the like, I s'pose) I assumed he was a girl....

I just want to know why my sniping blues did nothing. Also I said THROW YELLOWS not Whites and they would try to COMMANDEER IT not attack it. That part totally went against my plans.

Your Blue did do something. They're the reason why 1,200 out of 2,000 Green Pikmin were killed. Yes, I didn't include much about them, but it was taken into the casualties.
Secondly, I suppose I could have had more information on the machines, but I imagine something that's made for drilling through dirt or metal won't have an open window for you to burst in and hijack it. The broken machine parts are there, so do as you wish with it.
I'll try to make my writing less confusing. Next time, I'm going to make it more like a mathematical calculation and see if my writing improves.
EDIT: And, if I may quote directly from Yoshimaster's plan, The silvers will toss 500 whites onto the mecha-paravski thingy and they will kill the crew and hijack it. White, not yellow.
