Part 1: Field Results
(Music)
Knight Conquester Plaxicor sighed a nervous sigh. Not that he should be nervous about the upcoming battle: as a knight and a conquester, he had had plenty of experience in battle. But something about this eerie scientist made his spotted skin tingle. He made sure to hide his silly superstitions as he addressed his men.
"Momentarily," he began, "We will drop the Whites before approaching their base. Hopefully we will avoid heavy fire from their anti-aircraft towers."
His men nodded in response. They had heard this plan an infinite number of times throughout the plane ride over. It seemed he never stopped repeating it to them.
"Screw these guns," one white said to his buddy beside him, "Next time I'm asking for earplugs."

"Sir!" a Groink screamed as a shadowy figure whizzed past him from behind. The figure stopped before returning to the Gatling Groink who had addressed him.
"Vat?!" said Dr. Claisen, his foreign accent momentarily apparent as he was angered by this development.
"We have enemies approaching!"
"Hmm... can't say I didn't see this coming," responded Claisen quietly, "How many are attacking us?"
"I'd love to tell you, sir, but..." started the Groink.
"I'd love to fire you, stupid, but..." mocked the evil scientist.
"... this damn thing ain't fixed yet! All I can tell is that there is enemy aircraft spotted coming in from the south!"
"Hmm... they must know where our anti-aircraft defenses are, and that means they know of our base. Prepare the AA-Tank. We shall gather field results today!"

The Brettonian Warriors had deposited the White Pikmin far away from the base and were fast-approaching the outer coast of Smoky Progg Isle. The plane flew low in a desperate attempt to avoid being spotted by the enemy. Unfortunately, the scientist's lair was already bustling with activity as the warriors arrived above the island.
Anti-air units roared to life, piercing the silence of the island and ripping it to shreds. The pilot dived down sharply in an effort to ditch his new attackers. Bullets pierced the iron of the aircraft as it stumbled to a shaky landing right near the base. Knowing they no longer had the advantage, Plaxicor ordered his men to quickly disembark from the plane. They dashed out of the plane, clutching their weapons, as the enemy's ground troops arrived on scene. Instantly, the Brettonian troops began to single out their targets and began to fight.
The Red Bulborbs began to focus on taking out the Squirt Tower, which was already wreaking havoc upon them. Unfortunately, they didn't have much support against the Gatling Groinks, who decided they were easy pickings for their mortar blasts. The Bulborbs' machine guns weren't meant for such heavily-armoured foes, so they needed the help of their other men. This meant the White Pikmin and their tank, but the White Pikmin hadn't quite arrived on the scene yet. The Bulborbs decided to fall back until a better opportunity presented itself.
The tank, also known as the Plaxicor Punisher Tank, was having problems of its own. It simply had too much to handle: it was trying to take down the Gatling Groinks, avoid the fire of the Careening Dirigibugs and the Squirt Tower, and protect the plane from being targeted. As to be expected, it wasn't performing very well in its current situation.
The speared Red Pikmin were faring well, though. Their sharp spears gave them the upper hand in close combat, so they killed opposing Pikmin and Mini-Mutas relatively simply. They had also made it off the plane without being targeted extensively by the enemy aerial combatants, who were preoccupied with other larger targets at hand.
The White Pikmin, having ran quite a considerable distance, finally arrived on the scene, huffing and puffing. Both generals took into account this new variable: would they change their plans in accordance?

Feel free to send in new plans, Hachi and Raymond. This should only be a two-part battle.
