I've received all three plans, will get to work on the battle tomorrow (it's like, midnight right now for me). Also, I'll be sending all three of you messages summing up your battle plans, to make sure I've got them right.
Okay, I've sent my confirmation messages, now to get to work on the actual battle.
Finally finished, posting now.

Part 1: The Approach
The combined forces of the Cyborg Union and the Eastern Desert storm approached the frigid tundra which housed the Dessert Army. Abel's forces almost immediately began complaining about the cold, but they were quickly silenced. Around one last bend, the camp suddenly appeared, across a long expanse of frigid water. Thankfully, there had at some point in the past been a bridge built across. At this site, Cactus Pikmin and Red Cy-min split from the main group; they would not be a part of the general melee. Cy-Steve himself joined this group. As the armies crossed the bridges, Abel paused. Something felt...off. Then he placed it; where was the activity? The base seemed completely...deserted, he mentally chuckled. Then, he noticed something. A single troop flying high up, too high to be identified. Suddenly, it turned and disappeared into the base. Abel ordered the Clawed Winged Pikmin to go up into the sky, and they complied, activating their Shock Sticks with an individually quiet humming sound that was amplified by the buzzing of their wings until it sounded like a gigantic bee. They were soon joined by Cy-Steve's Winged Cy-min. The AA Drill Tank disappeared underground. The Cy-min, Ro-blowhogs, and Robo Dweevil Riders marched forward. And then, one of the fridges opened, and several dozen freshly baked donuts, one hundred in total, rolled out. The assault had begun.

Part 2 The First Moves The donuts rolled out, each heading for its own cyborg target. The Clawed Winged Pikmin swooped down on the donuts, and the Winged Cy-min-min fired at them with their Lander Rifles, but sheer speed, agility, and numbers allowed a few to get ahold of their targets and chomp down before they could be taken out. The Cactus Pikmin and Red Cy-min held their shots, waiting for Clapton's troops to show themselves. Just as the last few donuts were being taken down, the fridge doors opened once again, and a whole host of Dessert creatures burst forth! At this time, the Base Defenses opened fire, and Abel and Cy-Stevie's forces were pummeled with a huge barrage of sherbet, ice cream, and flaming marshmallows! Trapped on the bridge as they were, they took heavy losses in those first few seconds, and the quickly expanding pile of sticky sweetness hindered their ability to move a bit. The front lines collided. The Cyborg creatures, all of which had ranged weapons, initially prevailed, but that momentum slowly decreased as the far greater numbers of Dessert troops, so,e of which had been given Nectar shots, began to overwhelm them. The Cactus Pikmin and Red Cy-min opened fire, and that began to push momentum once again into the attacker's favor. Desserts were flying absolutely everywhere, cyborgs were being forcibly shut down, and the bridge even cracked ever so slightly under the weight of the desserts being fired from the Cannons, and it seemed as though the attackers would barely win the day. Then, a new variable appeared; Sherbert Pikmin, Ice Cream Pikmin, and Banana Flint Beetles popped out of the snow and began shooting the Snipers!

Part 3: The Counter Strike Cut off from the main group by a mountain of sweet sludge, the Cactus Pikmin and Red Cy-min could not expect reinforcements to help them against this group, which consisted of nearly fifty more troops than they themselves numbered. Still, they fought on bravely, and with Cy-Steve in their midst, they fought as hard as they could. But valiant as they were, the Dessert army won through by a combination of Nectar shots and greater numbers. Cy-Steve was forced to "retreat" as it were, running towards the safety of his troops. However, the battle was nowhere near complete, as just then, the AA Drill Tank emerged from directly underneath Rick's Flying Ice Cream Truck! Rick, in the truck as he was, reacted quickly and flew away, but as he did so, all the Winged Pikmin, be they Clawed or Cyborg, left the battlefield to chase him! Additionally, the Man at Legs, which had before had trouble getting targets, stationed behind the main troop body as it was, was now presented with the thing that had been coded as priority 1, and it too opened fire on Rick's ship. Rick was hard pressed just to stay airborne!

Part 4: The Counter-counter Strike As the Winged units left the battlefield, the battle turned even farther in the favor of the defenders. Suddenly, some Dessert troops, which had remained undetected henceforth, emerged. Consisting entirely of Cinnamon Pikmin and Spice Blowhogs, this group ran up to the enemy lines and gassed them, slowing the attackers down and making their thoughts fuzzy. Additionally, the remaining ranged Desserts, now with little to no opposition for the safe ground across the way, began gunning down the Cy-min from the back, and now it seemed that certainly, the Defenders would eradicate the attackers! But the AA tank had not disappeared when it had emerged from under Rick's truck, and now it opened to reveal Mamuta Chuckers, who began throwing Blast Berries everywhere! They aimed for the fridges and the defenses, and did quite a bit of damage; damage that was intensified by the arrival of a second tank, which began burrowing up from under the defenses! Meanwhile, Rick had been shot down, and Abel's Burrowing Snagret emerged and dragged him into the ground. The central island of the bridge, where the two colors met, seemed to take the form of the main battlefield. Now, some Jammin' Pikmin came out, blaring music, and while it seemed random, one could discern a pattern if they listened to a particular instrument. It played; low-high-high-high, high-high-high *pause* low-low-low *pause* high-high-high, over and over again. A human might have recognized the tone, "London Bridges", and sure enough, the bridges fell down, aided by the explosion of five blast berries!

Part 5: The Blast Heard 'Round the World The explosion was loud, certainly, and any fighting that had taken place on the bridge was stymied. But a bigger one would come soon, as a Dessert troop signaled the Mamuta Chuckers to a Death Scornet, who rushed over to sting it. Just as it got close, the Chucker turned and its eyes widened. It reached for a berry, found one, and threw. Unfortunately, the Scornet was too close, and though it was vaporized in the explosion, that explosion also set off a chain reaction.
The combined explosive force of more than a hundred Blast Berries was released that day. The ensuing explosion eradicated the tank it was initially contained in, sand the fireball melted many of Clapton's troops. The Cy-min's circuits melted, and the shockwave startled the Snagret, who had been busy taking pieces out of Rick. Abel, one of the first to regain composure, signaled a general retreat, and waited until his orders were followed before running off himself. Although the fridges both were badly damaged, those inside them were saved.

Note: all equipment that was equipped to a dead troop was lost. Losses:
Eastern Desert Storm: -150 Cactus Pikmin -150 Blast Berries (all either used or destroyed) -1 AA Drill Tank (completely destroyed) -10 Mamuta Chuckers -10 days worth of damage to Drill Tank (from blast wave)
Cyborg Union: -40 Red Cy-min -300 various other troops (count Specials as 10, Ordinaries 1 for this, Winged Cy-min not affected) -20 days damage to Man at Legs (from blast and just general damage)
Dessert Army: -Rick's Flying Ice Cream Truck (completely destroyed) -30 day's damage to Rick -180 of assorted Banana Flint Beetles, Sherbet Pikmin, and Ice Cream Pikmin -Sherbert, Ice Cream, and Marshmallow Cannons (destroyed by a combination of Drill Tank, Blast Berries, and the last explosion.) -bridge (must be repaired, or else all troops would have to cross by means of the river) -40 combined days worth of damage to the fridges -600 various other troops (Cinnamon Pikmjn, Spice Blowhogs, and Jammin' Pikmin not affected) (count Specials as 10, Ordinaries 1 for this. I'm not sure how many the fridges would've saved, but the explosion would have more than covered that number) -100 donuts

Whew! That was a lot of stuff! (Also, the hardest part for me was figuring out just how much everyone had to lose)

Wow, nice battle. Didn't even realize the dessert army had that many troops left.

Yeah. If you count Specials as ten, they had over a thousand (before this, of course).

Pendragon judged the battle was not long enough for them to arrive!

How much damage were done to the defenses? You did say quite a bit was being done...
Edit: Never mind, I see it now.
