Chapter 4: The Hooded Figure

A/N: Hey guys! I thought of also working on this story while having the re-write also going. Now that I finally have a bit of free time, I will just work on these stories for you guys. But that would mean a lot more work to me! :( I don't mind though!
Enjoy!

P/S: FLUFF WARNING!

Lily's POV

From my spot, I was able to snipe down many elites. Those zombies had little idea of what hit them and quickly died. Down at the bottom, Jack and our comrades were fending off the other ones. Tom shooting barrage after barrage of toxic peas towards the zombies while Ilira provided medical support and helped fighting the zombies by striking them down in groups with her power pulses. Jack was doing great, he was assisting them by gooping multiple zombies and bite through every single one in his range. That's my best friend!

Two gargantuas from nowhere charged into the battlefield and messed up our formation totally. I instantly dropped down my potato mines with tall nuts to make sure I was protected and released my garlic drone.

I flew the drone towards the fighting and started raining the needles down on the gargantuas. But not for long, my drone suddenly exploded. I cursed under my breath that I got my drone get shot down by a pirate. Heading back to my sniping spot, I tried looking for the sniping pirate. As I spotted the pirate next to a dead tree stump and was about to snipe him down, someone pointed their gun behind my back.

-Follow me silently or die.

I gulped and silently turned around to face the zombie who was confronting me. It was a Physicist with crazy hair and goggly eyes. He pushed me forward towards the fighting. Half way there, I suddenly gave the scientist an unexpected quick punch to the face while he was busy yawning. Though he got a bit dizzy and his has a burnt wound that was bleeding, he shot me with his shotgun. A rush of pain ran down my spine as I was shot by the EMP shotgun. I felt paralyzed when the electricity ran through my body. I couldn't move.

The furious scientist approached my with a death glare and multiple burnt stings on his face.

-You'll pay for this little spoiled weed!

He pointed the gun right at my bulb and spoke with a bloodlust voice.

-You know what? Screw making you hostage, I'll just kill you right now!

And so he was about to pull the trigger to blast my bulb of from point blank distance, I saw a quick and graceful figure swooped down behind him a gave him a low kick.
The scientist was knocked to the ground and dropped his gun in the process. Swiftly, the figure caught the gun and make two quick shots to the scientist's head, killing him with his own weapon.

As the scientist was taken care of, I turned to take a good look at the figure. They were wearing a black hoodie and a belt filled with gears. They were holding the scientist's gun with a leaf so obviously they are a plant.

-Who are you?

They turned to me and zoned out a bit before speaking with an incredibly low voice.

-I am nobody.

After those simple words, they took of towards the main battleground. The way that they were able to jump that high must mean that they're a peashooter. Intrigued, I followed them. When I arrived at the battleground, they were nowhere to be found. But instead, what I saw made my heart race. Jack was standing in front of our comrades, who were all battered and beaten up in a protective way. In front of him is gotta be the biggest Gargantua I have ever seen in my live. It must be four times taller than a regular zombie and three times more muscular than a Super Brainz.

-RAAAAAAAARRRR!

It gave a mighty roar before stomping its feet, trembling the ground around the battleground.

Jack fell onto his back due to the tremor. He was still trying to put his vines in front of our comrades to protect them even though he was completely helpless in front of enormous monster.

-Jack! Get out of there!

He turned his bulb and saw me standing there, shouting him to get out of there before the gargantua crushed him to bits and put him on its brain pizza topping. But for some reasons, he didn't listen to me and turned to face the gargantua with the most intimidating look he could possibly pull off.

-What are you doing?!

Still no response from him. Is he literally going to commit suicide or something? The gargantua didn't wait for anything before swing its power pole at Jack. Knocking him backwards ten feet like a rag doll.

-JACK!

I rushed to him and checked his life signs. He had a giant bruise across his body because of being hit with the giant pole, he was breathing heavily and his heartbeat was getting slower. This is bad, this is really bad! And, to make the situation even worse, the gargantua approached us and gave another mighty roar.

-Oh Gaia save us...

I silently sat there beside an conscious Jack with both eyes closed and preyed for a miracle to save us from death by this gargantua. To my surprise, I never felt the swing coming. I opened my eyes to find the same figure in a black hoodie blocking the swing with their bare leaves! The gargantua itself was having a hard time holding it's ground. With swift and sudden leap, the figure launched themselves upwards, leaving the gargantua to trip and fell face first in front of us. It slowly getting up from the fall. Its face was red with anger and it looked almost like it was gonna blow steam out of its ears. With a mighty roar, it slammed the pole onto the hooded figure in front of it with all its might. The pole hit the ground, shaking it slightly. The monster grinned largely, thinking that the annoying figure is crushed by the slam. To its surprise, the figure was no where to be found. Right after that, black smoke covered the whole body of the gargantua, immobilizing its vision. What happened after that was a mystery to me. All I know that there was an explosion and some impacts. The gargantua collapsed on ground, unmoving. A second after that, the mysterious hooded figure came out from the smoke unscathed.

I was left with a big gape. How were they able to take out that gigantic gargantua that easily?

-Are you okay?

They spoke with the same deep male voice that somehow I found a hint of similarity with a voice I used to know. I slowly nodded in response, my mouth still gaping.

-Good. Your backup should arrive soon.

What? Backup? How did he know?

-How do you know that? Who are you?

He turned to me. I could feel his eyes staring at me under that hood.

-As I said earlier, I am nobody...

Without another word, he hypered away from the battleground, leaving me shocked with my injured team mates.

Hailey's POV

I was just going over all the new information that I just got. Jason had told me some really important pieces of details.

First, he is or was B.O.S. Zomboss had kept him captive and made him served under the zombie.

Second, apparently B.O.S isn't the only super enhanced being that Zomboss has. There's another one, Brian O'well, a Toxic Brainz.

Third, there are two revolutionary zombies who are working with colonel Henson as undercover agents.

Finally, the enhanced individuals are not Zomboss' secret and final weapon. The weapon that the zombie is far scarier than him or Brian. What can be even scarier than B.O.S the plant terminator?

My train of thought was interrupted by a knock on the door.

-Come in.

A familiar face of a Fire Cactus came in through the door.

-Ahh, hello captain Fox.

She gave me a quick bow as a salutation. Her face was filled with eagerness. Maybe she's here to ask about something?

-I would like to report that our mission in the Great White North was a success.

I smiled in relief. That was definitely the hardest mission that I have assigned her in the two years of her career and I was glad she was able to do it.

-That's good to hear captain...

She immediately interrupted which is something she had never done before.

-It wouldn't have been a success if we weren't helped by a mysterious hooded figure commander.

I raised my eyebrows. Did Jason really need to go all the way out to do that? He could have just informed me to bring some backups.

-Oh, I guess you have met the undercover agent that the World Order had sent to assist us.

Her eyes widened, her mouth slowly gaping.

-He was a World Order agent? No wonder he had such a great power. What's his name commander?

I smiled at the surprised Fire Cactus.

-His name is Oliver Promise.

Anne's POV

I just got back to my room from a long day of working at the infirmary. Because of last night's raid, a lot of plants were injured and needed treatment. I gently closed the door behind me and quickly collapsed onto my bed. I was so worn out by all the work. As I was about to drift into a much needed sleep, a cold wind from the outside blew in and made me shiver. I remembered closing the window before going to work, so why was it open? Unless...

-Hey.

A figure in a black hoodie suddenly popped up in front of my face.

-Ahh!

I screamed as I jumped back onto my bed. I heard chuckles before Jason landed on the bed from the ceiling.

-Why are you so surprised? I thought I already told you I would come tonight.

I playfully punched his shoulder.

-Jerk, scaring me like that. Besides, it's just five in the afternoon!

I finished my sentence with huff. He scratched his head in confusion.

-Sorry Anne. Guess I was done with my work much earlier than expected.

I still kept the huff on my face.

-You're lucky I'm tired today. Or else you'll be regretting having done that for a whole week!

He smirked playfully before putting up the best puppy face he could pull off. And even with the giant scar on his left eye, I still somehow fell for it.

-Ugh! Fine! You win!

He gave me a tight hug.

-Yay!

I just rolled my eyes and sighed out loud. His nature hadn't changed one bit even after everything he went through. Well, I can't complain too much about that, it was one of the main reasons why I loved him in the first place.

Totally unexpected, he pulled me into a passionate kiss. After we pulled away, he was wearing a sly victorious grin on his face.

-You're forgiven.

His grin grew wider as I said that.

-Now what do you have to share with me today?

His face turned from victorious to eager in a second.

-Oh, a lot actually...

He began by telling me he was no longer chased by Zomboss, for now. Then he told me about how he told Hailey about his true self, how he saved Lily and Jack. Finally, he told me that his dad was alive and was the one who saved him two days ago. He also found out who had killed his mom.
I was generally surprised and impressed by all the news. A lot must be going through his mind right now. I wish there was a way for me to help relieve some of the stress that was on him. Then, an idea popped into my mind.

-Jason, do you want to go to somewhere nice and relaxing?

His eyebrows raised. He looked rather tempted by the offer.

-Sure, I guess I do need a break for once in while.

...

After an hour of Jason carrying me through the vast lands, we arrived at a big lake in the middle of a pine forest. I came here twice, mainly to relax and think about life. The scenery was incredibly picturesque. Waves could be faintly seen on the lake, the birds were flying about, singing beautiful tones, the breeze of the forest rushed through my petals. I was glad to be back here again, especially taking Jason with me.

-This place looks nice.

I smiled and nodded to him.

-Yeah, it is.

I sat down by the edge of the lake and was quickly followed by Jason. Over the horizon, the sun was just setting behind the trees. This felt like the perfect scenery for us.

-Jason?

-Yes Anne?

He turned his head towards me. His sad brown eyes met with my clear blue ones. As we locked our gaze upon each other. Slowly, we leaned towards each other, closing the gap between us. My soft lips meet his rough ones in a passionate deep kiss. The world seems to fade away as I slowly melt into the kiss. At that moment, nothing else mattered. The only thing that mattered was him.

Told you guys about the fluff! I'm not gonna let an opportunity like that slip away!
Anywho, I'm glad to be back writing PvZ fics. Constructive criticism are always gratefully accepted.
Sir Espeon/Asiandude is out! PEACE!
