I don't see anything wrong.
Don't have any criticism. Just a question though.
How fast are the brown pikmin burrowing?

Well, if you want criticism, please include my Pikmin's Martyr attacks. I should have included information about those upgrades in my plans.

You did, I just haven't included it yet. I'll be sure to put it in the next update.
Also, one thing I criticize myself on is my short updates. Aren't most updates twice that length, or is that just vidguy's updates?

I think the length of your update is perfect. I rather have frequent updates of your length rather then a long one every week.
Though, I don't know how Vidguy is able to produce long, good quality updates so rapidly. It's just not possible!

Alright, I still haven't gotten plans and troops from Chaosblade, so the next update will be postponed until tomorrow (unless I get them by 8:00 PM EST.) If they aren't in by tomorrow at noon (EST), then he won't be coming.

The troops protecting General Hishiro and Muta the Elder were sitting there. No one talked, no one flinched. The seconds seemed to tick by in painful agony. The Brown Pikmin hadn't come up yet. Were they slow at digging? Did they have another target? Did they back off the attack?
All these questions raced through everybody's minds. Their feet began to rumble, but only slightly. The tiles absorbed most of the shock, and it seemed to be getting more powerful. General Hishiro ordered a few Yellow Pikmin to plant some Bomb Rocks near the hole, and for the Purple Pikmin to close in after they were detonated. The tiles ruffled, and were slowly pushed open by some Brown Pikmin. The old tiles expelled tons of dirt as they were moved, when General Hishiro ordered the bomb rocks to be blown. The surrounding area of dirt and tiles collapsed on top of about 10 Brown Pikmin, and the Purples closed in. The Brown Pikmin, meanwhile, dug behind to the side of the hole, and popped up silently. They cloaked for 3 seconds, and came out and hit the Purple Pikmin. They killed a few, but the Purples were far too strong to go down that easily.
They punched monstrously, killing plenty of Brown Pikmin. But as it turned out, the Brown Pikmin killed by more then expected. Their sneak attack had caught the Pikmin unaware, but now that they were aware, they fought back even harder. Upset at their brothers and sisters deaths, they fought back ever harder. As the dust finally vanished, it looked like the few Red and Yellow Pikmin the Brown's killed gave off some sort of aftershock, injuring nearby Brown Pikmin. This made them easy pickin' (lol pun) for the Purple Pikmin, who were already dominating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Down under the Planet Protector's and Bulborbian Empire's tunnel was another battle. Sir Armos had sent some red, purple, and black Pikmin down there to fight the Antenna Beetles. The Pikmin cloaked as they came down so nobody would see them, and quickly jumped on the Antenna Beetles' backs. They stomped and kicked them to death, quickly eliminating most of them. The troops fought back, but there numbers were already waning. A Firey Dweevil rushed back from one side of the tunnel, and as he saw the battle, was running telling the Yellow Pikmin to blow the tunnel. Sir Armos Pikmin heard this, and tried to run out of the tunnel. Faint noises of stray gun shots could also be heard from above.
Above ground, somebody seemed to have set off Sir Armos Gun Supply. He ran in with a few Pikmin, and found a tunnel leading right to the supply. He quickly covered it up with dirt, and posted some guards incase they came back. He ran back to start plucking up more Pikmin.
Sir Armos Recon Boat was looking bad, but so was the catapult. After a few more shots, the catapult was destroyed, but the boat critically wounded. It wouldn't be able to continue fighting. Some Blue Pikmin of the Planet Protector's seized the opportunity, and swam over to the boat. They boarded it, and killed the preoccupied Orange Pikmin. They didn't know how to drive the boat, so some swam back and got some Yellow Pikmin to set up Bomb Rocks. The rocks exploded, and the boat was sunk.
Things were looking bad for Sir Armos, but help had finally arrived. An Armored Carrier came across the battlefield, and several Jade Pikmin flew out of it. They started attacking the Antenna Beetles, and the Mamutas were having a tough time fending them off. Some Beetles helped others by controlled the attacking Pikmin, but with their weaker numbers the beetles were still outnumbered. Some Red Pikmin came to fight, and Yellow Pikmin ran into concentrated messes of Silver Pikmin. The Pikmin would activate Metal Mode right before the bomb exploded, but as they came out the Pikmin's Martyr attack hurt then badly. Soon though, the Yellow Pikmins' numbers thinned.
Back to Sir Armos, he was being assaulted by Swooping Snitchbugs. They would drop Bomb Rocks on him, and then retreat and do it again. After a few tries, some Bumbling Snitchbugs came and tried to grab him. He'd throw himself on the ground and grab anything in sight, and prayed that his Pikmin near him would fend them off. The Pikmin, trying to defend their general at all costs, would throw themselves at the bugs in an attempt to make them miss Sir Armos. Some Jade Pikmin arrived, and quickly overwhelmed the surprised Swooping Snitchbugs. They then focused the Bumbling Snitchbugs, who were now battle ready. A few Jade Pikmin were lost, but the threat was exterminated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Master Hishiro, seeing how his troops weren't doing very well, ordered a retreat. Best live to fight another day then die for an unwinnable (I wish that was a word) battle.

I'm pretty sure Bulborbish sent an Emperor Bulblax. Did I forget to mention it in the plans?

Alright, I threw around the casualties a little. Does this seem more fair?

Hey people, you could read and comment on Rydon's writing. There's nothing worst then doing something with no acknowledgement.
Overall, I like your writing, Rydon. It includes nearly all of my plans. You did forget the Emperor Bulblax, which was kind of important, and my attempt at stealing resources, which was the whole goal of the attack, but most of my tediously long plan was there. So, it was a great job, and on time. That's a big plus.

Thanks. And the (hopefully) final version of the casualties are up.

Like Water Dumple said before, OHKO's are frowned upon.

I never planned on wiping your forces out either Gray. I was just trying to get some more Petals to work with, regardless of my army hatred of Hocotatians.
