It was a nice, sunny day in Suburbia. The Sun is shining, the animals are singing, the Plants are fighting a zombie horde. Yup, Zombie fighting is basically a daily occurrence, but the Plants always came through to fight another day. That's what aggravates Dr. Zomboss so much. It seems like the Plants are only getting stronger everyday. He needed to find a way to turn that against them somehow. That's when Professor Brainstorm and Rustbolt, two of the Zombie Heroes as well as the head scientists for the Heroes, barged into his room.

"Why must you barge through my door when I'm pondering?!" exclaimed Dr. Zomboss.

"Our apologies," said Professor Brainstorm. "But we have just came up with a way to fight those Plants!"

As they got their blueprints on his desk, Dr. Zomboss showed interest. Rustbolt explained them in detail.

"It's basically a hypnotizing machine. We can use these to hypnotize Plants and force them to turn against their own kind!"

"Hmmm… hypnosis? Well, that does seem like a good idea…"

"Well, there is one thing," said Professor Brainstorm. "It does require us to capture Plants in order for it to work. And by Plants, I mean the hypno-plants, the Hypno-shrooms and Caulipowers."

"Which is actually a good thing," said Rustbolt. "When we capture those Plants, we won't have to worry about Zombies getting hypnotized!"

"Well," said Dr. Zomboss. "This actually seems like a good idea. Brainstorm, Rustbolt, you two have outdone yourselves! Send these plans to the scientist wing of the Zomburbia Mansion! I'll be sure to let the other Heroes know about these plans."

The three zombies shared a handshake and saluted as the Professor and Rustbolt took their leave. Zomboss then used the Skull-Signal to call the other Heroes, ready to set the plan into action.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, some of the Plant Heroes were relaxing in the Backyard Base. Rose and Wall-Knight were playing against each other in a Card Battle, Chompzilla was devouring a couple of pizzas from Chomper Pizza, and Solar Flare was playing her game. The other Heroes were out of the base attending to other things.

"Almost there…" said Solar Flare. "And… YES! Finally got that Moon!"

Satisfied with her accomplishment, she put the game away and walked over to Wall-Knight and Rose.

"So... how's the battle going?"

"It is going just fine," said Wall-Knight. "I think I got this game in the bag!"

"Or do you!" said Rose as she played a Cornucopia. She got lucky with her draw, spawning an Astro Vera and a Kernel Corn. Wall-Knight admitted to defeat, but he still had fun though.

"That was a good game," he said.

"Thanks," said Rose. "Admittedly, it was very enjoyable!"

Chompzilla finished her last pizza when she saw a report come on the monitor. It depicted Super Brainz, Immorticia, and Impfinity breaking into the Bloom and Doom Seed Store that's close to their location. She dashed to the other three Heroes, alerting them of this situation.

"Well, looks like we better investigate," said Wall-Knight.. The other three Heroes agreed and dashed off.

When they arrived, it looked like the Zombies left an impression. No one seemed to be completely injured, just a bit riled up. When the four Heroes entered to examine the damages, they noticed that all the Hypno-Shroom and Caulipower seed packets were gone.

"Hey guys," said Solar Flare. "Why do you think that they only took the hypnosis plants?"

"I don't know," said Rose. "But I don't think it will be good though. We should investigate this more. Do you think we should call a meeting?"

"I think we should. Something seems off here and we need to find out what!"

And so, the four Heroes called all of the others to a meeting at the Backyard Base's house. Well, all of the others except for Nightcap, who seemed to be running late.

"Where is he?" asked Sam. "Grass Knuckles, were you with him recently?"

"Nope," said Grass Knuckles, crossing his arms. "I just came down here myself. Though he might be finishing up his meditating, so he will probably walk in so-"
That's when Nightcap walked in. Though he looked the same, his face looked concealed, more than usual.

"My humblest apologies for my lateness, fellow Heroes. I was finishing up my meditating."

"Told ya!" exclaimed Grass Knuckles. "But don't worry, we know how important those are to you!"

The other Heroes agreed with him and started the meeting. What the Heroes did not see, however, is that his eyes had purple spirals in them…

AU: And so, another adventure begins! So I know that I have not updated in almost two months now, but laziness, as well as writer's block, have hindered my process. Then I thought, why not an original Heroes story. And so we're here.

Also, you might be wondering why I put Sam near the end. Go to my main page. I have some information about him, but basically, he's a human whose friends with the Plant Heroes after a Brain Freeze related incident that probably won't be elaborated on for now.

As always, leave a comment to help me see what I can improve.
