Crazy Dave and Green Shadow began their search for the other heroes. "So what do you think the heroes would be like?" asked Crazy Dave. Penelope responds with, "Hmm… I don't know. But hopefully they are not far from us."
"Don't worry," reassured Crazy Dave. "If they are far from here, we can just use the portal at the Backyard Base." That's when Penelopea heard something at the house they were walking past. She looked to see what it was and that's where she saw a Sunflower sleeping on the lawn. But this Sunflower did not look like most of the other ones. She had red goggles on her forehead and a black t-shirt that had a leaf symbol on it, like Green Shadow's pendant.
Penelopea woke the Sunflower up, but accidentally startled her. "Oops! Sorry!" "Oh, it's alright," said the Sunflower. "Umm… why do you look like that?" Penelopea, a little taken aback by the question, explained what happened.
"And that's what happened. Wait, did you remember a ray coming at you."
"No," said the Sunflower. "I was asleep then woke up like this. Is that why I am looking like this?"
"Possibly," said Crazy Dave. "This Peashooter did have the same weird effects as you and… um. I think there are zombies nearby."
Crazy Dave was proven right as a couple of zombies peaked from the fences. The Sunflower got worried a little bit since she was not used to offensive fighting. She started to panic and get exhilarated, when suddenly, she accidentally ignited herself, becoming a literal Fire Flower.* The fire spread across the lawn and to the zombies, burning them to a crisp.
"Woah…" everyone said simultaneously. Crazy Dave then showed his excitement at this. "You did get affected by the Hero-tron! And you are just one of the people we were working for!"
"Really?" The Sunflower was intrigued. "For what exactly?"
"Me and Penelopea are searching for the plants that got affected by the Hero-tron. You are one of them."
Penelopea then took her time to speak. "You should come with us to the Backyard Base.** We can keep going back when we find new heroes to aid in our cause. Wait, we never asked for your name. How rude of us! What is your name."
The Sunflower said, "Sola R. Powers. Hey, are you doing nicknames by any chance."
"Why, yes we are!" Crazy Dave thought of a name for Sola. "How does Solar Flare sound? You know, cause your a Sunflower and you can become a flare at will?"
"That's perfect!" Solar Flare liked her new name. "Okay so we are going to head to the Backyard?"
Everyone agreed and prepared to return.
AU: Here it is. The first leg in Crazy Dave and Green Shadow's quest to find the heroes. I thought I go in the order that the collection menu shows, where all the cards and heroes are displayed. So, naturally, I picked Solar Flare as the first find. Again, this is my first fanfiction, so feel free to leave a review to see if there is anything that I can improve on.
* The term Fire Flower is part of the Plants vs. Zombies franchise and does not reflect any other similarly sounding items from other series. It doesn't...
** The Backyard Base is the Plant side of the Backyard Battleground in Garden Warfare 2. This is also where the Heroes will meet when another one is found.
