Meanwhile in a forest in Universe-5

In a forest near the Isle of the Ancients, there was a lone gigantic R.O.B. that stood in rest mode, not aware of the many tiny humanoid figures on it. The figures were many colors and attacked by pounding their tiny heads on R.O.B.'s metal, and they had either leafs, half-bloomed flowers, or fully bloomed flowers on their heads. These creatures were called Pikmin and they were being commanded by their captain to attack the robot, though their combined efforts weren't doing much. 

The sleeping R.O.B. suddenly booted up and felt the Pikmin on its body. It then spun around and knocked the Pikmin off of it, making all but a few Pikmin die and disappear on impact. 

Seeing his massive army getting down to a dozen, a small man whimpered. He was very small and had three short brown tufts of hair and wore a light yellow spacesuit decorated with red lines, a long antenna, and red gloves. This was Captain Olimar, the leader of the Pikmin Army. He felt his body quiver as he stepped back and noticed the R.O.B.'s head focusing on him.

"All those Pikmin, and not a single sign of it being weakened...Just how am I going to beat this thing?" he thought.

He then felt a tap on his hip and saw a red Pikmin next to him. The Pikmin was tapping him and pointing to something behind the dozens of Pikmin. It was something rushing right toward them and it took Olimar a second to process what it was.

It was a speeding sleek blue racing car rushing toward them at high speed. It wasn't even on the ground as it was hovering over the pavement of the path. As it was nearing the captain, the glass window opened and revealed a man who jumped out of the ship. The R.O.B. looked up at the man and Olimar and the robot were able to identify the characteristics of the man. He was tall, had a muscled body covered by a tight blue jumpsuit, a shoulder pad-like armor, and a red helmet covering his head with a black visor covering his eyes, the only sign of eyes being white triangle-shaped lights existed. "FALCON...PUNCH!!!"

One of the man's fists was engulfed in flame and punched the giant R.O.B., leaving a silhouette of a flaming bird upon impact. The force of the punch made the robot fall down and the man landed feet-first on the ground and slid through the ground, accidentally killing the rest of the Pikmin. He made a pose, making it seem like he was fine but left an awkward silence. 

Olimar was completely in shock at how there was only one red Pikmin next to him as a single leaf wooshed in the wind

Olimar was completely in shock at how there was only one red Pikmin next to him as a single leaf wooshed in the wind. The man laughed and adjusted his helmet. "Well, that takes care of the bot. So...you okay, little guy?"

His calm voice was able to make Olimar calm himself and the tiny captain replied, "Yes. I am quite exquisite. Thank you for the help. So...who are you?"

The man chuckled and struck a pose. "The name's CAPTAIN FALCON!!"

"Captain Olimar." Olimar held out a hand.

"Wow, you're a captain too." Captain Falcon shook the small man's hand. "So, Olimar, what are you doing here? This place is a little dangerous for someone like you."
