Desmond was grabbed by one of his cactus teachers while Pete was lifted into the air by the two chompers who held his arms in their mouths and Colin said in an almost sympathetic voice.
"I will grant you one wish, since you are going without a fight..." As soon as Colin said those words, Pete spat at him and said.
"I will never go without a fight. Stab me, shoot me even rip me apart! I will always keep fighting till my family are safe." Colin frowned and said.
"This is exactly why you're species are dying out. You all share one thing in common, you don't think before you fight! You always charge into battle if someone you care about is in danger. Is it a flaw in your species personalities?" Pete glared at Colin and said in a voice full of defiance.
"No! It's our defining trait!" Colin growled, pulled out a knife and said.
"Fine then! If it's a fight you want! It's a fight you'll get!" With Pete immobilized, Colin lunged at him and stabbed Pete in his stem. Pete growled at the Toxic Pea that had just stabbed him and tried to kick him off. Colin frowned and stabbed Pete till he had over fourteen deep cuts in his stem, each bleeding dangerous amounts of blood. The chompers released Pete who collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily, but far from beaten. Desmond broke free of his teacher and yelled.
"DAAAAAAD!" The cactus grabbed Desmond again while Colin bent down next to Pete and said.
"Give in! We might spare your family." Pete picked himself up, stood tall and said.
"NEVER! Not as long as you're a threat to my family." Pete lunged at Colin and caught the Toxic Pea off guard. Colin was pinned by Pete and said in frustration.
"Stubborn idiot." Colin shoved the injured Peashooter off of himself and lunged at them. Pete dodged the lunge and hypered at the Cactus that held his son. The Cactus smirked and shot Pete who shrugged off the spike that now stuck out of his stem and tackled the cactus that released his son. The cactus nearly screamed.
"Help me Inodine!" Pete jumped off the cactus and grabbed his son and the two hypered towards the tree that Alison was hiding behind.
As they hypered towards the tree, they heard Colin say.
"Look, I'm so sorry but...news of this can't get out so I will have to kill you both." After a drunken what, the sound of two plants being chomped echoed through the graveyard. Pete growled and turned around to face the approaching plants. When Desmond stopped, Pete yelled at him.
"GET TO YOUR MOTHER...NOW!" Desmond gasped as Colin took advantage of Pete's momentary distraction and punched Pete in the face. Pete fell onto the ground and growled at Colin before saying.
"I wish you had died that day...just like your brother!" Colin continuously punched Pete as he yelled.
"TAKE THAT BACK! MY BROTHER DIED TO SAVE ME!" Pete pushed off the distraught Toxic Pea and hypered towards a hill, leading the plants away from his family. When Pete made it to the top of the hill, he turned and fired at the plants approaching him. While the chompers headed for cover, the cactus landed two spikes in Pete and nearly landed a third. Pete grunted as he pulled out the spikes and turned his attention to the enraged Toxic Pea charging at him when a sharp pain ran through the back of head.
The Peashooter turned around and faced Edi with an expression of fury on their face. Edi pulled the trigger on his shotgun and blasted the Peashooter in the face.
Pete felt his health drain away hugely when shot by the scientist, but behind his back, spikes and Toxic Peas travelled at him, each looked on mark. Alison screamed as the multiple projectiles found their mark and Pete finally yelled in pain and collapsed, he was finally knocked out. Alison and Desmond charged up the hill and found themselves trapped between the scientist and the plants that were advancing on them. The scientist warped closer to them and was about to shoot Desmond, but the scientist fell forward, and a strange looking Peashooter stood behind them. Desmond gasped as he realized that Calamity had shot the scientist, but he also had a strange look on his face, it was almost like a zombies. Before he could help himself, Desmond yelled at Calamity.
"YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Calamity frowned and said.
"I just saved your life! Be a bit more grateful hot head!" Before either plant could exchange more words, Alison let out a sigh of relief and Pete sat up, blood running from multiple wounds. Alison tsked as she began healing the multiple cuts and lacerations while Calamity said to Desmond.
"Look I'm so sorry for what I did. It was uncalled for and I shouldn't take out my anger on others." Desmond frowned and said.
"I didn't mean to kill you...actually how are you here now?" Calamity sighed and looked at the scientist and said.
"They bought me back to life and they tried to make me do horrible things...We need to get out of here! More elites are on there way." Desmond frowned and said.
"Fine. But if you show the slightest sign of betraying us, I will send you back to the grave." Desmond turned to his parents and said.
"We need to leave. There are more elites on there way." Pete and Alison looked at each other, worried looks on their faces. Pete ended up saying.
"Alison. You take Desmond and get out of here. I will stay behind and make sure you both get out of..." Alison interrupted Pete and said.
"NO! I'm going to stay by your side from now on. I thought I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again." Pete frowned and went to say something, but a chomper had unborrowed next to them and lunged at Desmond. Calamity gasped and hypered towards Desmond and shoved him out of the way of the lunging chomper who landed on the ground with a thud. Desmond looked at Calamity in shock while Pete and Alison grabbed the two boys and set off towards a different gate that was no longer visible.
