I don't know how long it had been since me and Zomboss made the deal, but when the door into the dungeon opened and he walked in with some guards, we knew what was coming. Zomboss ordered his retinue to unlock the cells and shackle us, which went far to smoothly for Zomboss' liking.
"What's up with you lot, why aren't you making this hard?" I looked up at the zombie and said.
"Don't want to get tired in the arena." Zomboss simply snorted, turned around and signalled his guards to bring us forward. His guard consisted of 2 foot soldiers and 2 all-stars, while Zomboss himself carried a strange looking blaster behind his back. The blaster had electricity arcing all over it and probably shot electricity. Zomboss looked over his shoulder and asked while he walked.
"Who's in the arena?" I replied
"Me, Ash, Wulf and Elanor." Zomboss sniggered.
"You pick the traitor, the coward and the medic, you're death is going to be a swift one...unfortunately." Ash growled but was shut up by one of the all-stars who bludgeoned him from behind with his football cannon. When we reached the preparation room which led into the arena, Zomboss gave us a minute to say goodbye. I told Alison.
"I won't die, I will get us out of her." She began to cry so I pulled her into a hug. She managed to say through the tears.
"I want to believe you, I really do, but, I just don't think there's going to be a happy ending for us." I released her, looked into her eyes and said.
"If we aren't supposed to have one, I will make us have one." She smiled and hugged me. Just as I went to say something to her, one of the foot soldiers grabbed her and pulled her out the door. I would make sure we got through this.

The gate into the arena opened up, me, Elanor, Wulf and Ash stepped into the arena. I was amazed that Zomboss had this under his mansion, it was huge. In the crowd appeared to be mainly zombies from his damn academy while a small section had PLANTS! In fact it was Alison, Sonatra, Peter, Cole and some other plants I had never seen before. Zomboss must have an entire prison, not just a dungeon. Zomboss addressed the crowd.
"Fellow zombies," he glared at the plant section, "and other things. Welcome to the first and, hopefully, not last vanquish battle between plants," A boo wrang out across the crowd, which overpowered the small hoorah from the plants. "and the zombies." This time the boos were drowned out by the applause. A gate at the far end of the arena opened and Zomboss yelled out.
"LET THE GAMES BEGIN."

A salvo of ZPG's came flying across the arena towards us, which we all promptly dodged. The arena was, thankfully, covered with debris we could use as cover. Both sides knew this and both us plants, and our zombie adversaries headed for cover. I looked over the flipped table I was using as cover and spotted a zombie that was preoccupied reloading. I managed to get him with about 5 peas, before he could duck into cover, the overwhelming noise of boos sounded out. The noise of a warping scientist sounded out to my right, which was quickly followed by a shotgun blast tearing through my right side. The crowd screamed out in joy while the yells of terror could barely be heard. I rolled with the blast to try and limit the impact, but it still hit hard. I expected a quick follow up blast, so it surprised me when I looked towards the scientist who was being chomped by Ash who smiled at me. Elanor came over and tended to the wound while Wulf kept the other zombies at bay.
When Elanor finally let me get up, she went and attended to Wulf who had suffered quite a few shots. As far as we've seen, there are around 10 zombies, all of them elites. 2 scientists, which is now down to one, 5 soldiers, an engineer and 2 all-stars. Thanks to the size of the arena, we could easily dodge the ZPG's the soldiers fired and we were out of range of the damaging effects of the clouds. As we exchanged fire, nothing really happened, the zombies outranged Ash, we outranged there most effective abilities. Because the zombies were effective communicators due to their training, they must have formulated a plan. 2 of the foot soldiers used their gas clouds to cover there advance while the all-stars used their cannons to suppress us in place. By the time the cannons stopped firing, a yell of applause rang out across the crowd, I turned to find the zombies had surrounded our position. The foot soldiers behind us bent over and fired their ZPG's at Ash and Wulf who were busy dealing with an all-star. I yelled out at them but only Wulf heard me, Wulf managed to dodge it but Ash, who was chomping an all-star took the ZPG and fell, I hypered up to one of them, jumped on them and proceeded to do the human thing called punching. When the zombie I was on finnaly succame to the blows, the crowd booed in anger while the plants were exuberant. I turned my attention to the other foot soldier who was dealing with Wulf who promptly finished him off. I yelled at Elanor "Get Ash, we'll take care of the other zombies." She nodded and picked Ash up, while me and Wulf dealt with the last few zombies.

Wulf and I charged across the center of the arena to the yells of the crowd. The last all-star opened fire on us, we returned the fire and sent him down onto the ground. The last scientist warped in front of us and fired on Wulf, the crowd screamed in joy as Wulf was blown backwards. I turned and fired on the scientist, a few shots to the head and the scientist collapsed. The crowd yelled in anger as I picked up Wulf and we carried on. Now there were three soldiers and an engineer somewhere.
As I thought about where the zombies were, the crowd roared out in applause. The engineer zombie charged out from behind his cover on a jackhammer followed by an army of robots. Wulf and I ran for the nearest cover, while the floor of the arena became cracked and Ash came out of the ground and swallowed the Engineers jackhammer.
The engineer proceeded to throw a sonic grenade at Ash, stunning him, and fired some concrete bombs at Ash. I was going to ask Wulf to deal with the engineer when the engineer was filled with metal spikes and fell to them, it was Elanor. I turned and started to deal with some of the robots advancing on us with Wulf. The robots were a pain to deal with, the rockets some of them fired didn't have the power of a ZPG, but they still packed a punch. Elanor screamed out as the crowed yelled out in jubilation. Elanor collapsed and we all looked at her. She lay there, blacked out. I ran up to her and began reviving her when a shot pierced my stem and I yelped in pain. The crowd was ecstatic, I jumped behind some cover and asked Wulf to try and find out who was shooting. I turned to the Ash and asked if he could get Elanor over to me. He did and I managed to revive her to the disappointment of the crown. Elanor patched me up and I headed after one of the soldiers that thought it was safe to come out. I filled him full of peas and he fell to the yells of anger of the crowd. Another zombie yelled out as Ash chomped them. The crowd went wild when the scream of a peashooter rang through the arena, Wulf was in trouble.

I found Wulf covering a serious wound in his stem behind a flipped over couch, this was the work of a camo ranger that was hiding somewhere. Elanor and Ash came over to us and tended to Wulf while Ash and I found the camo ranger hiding behind a table. I took cover while Wulf burrowed beneath the camo ranger and chomped him from beneath. With the last zombie gone, the crowd was in outrage, Zomboss calmed them down though and announced.
"Congratulations plants, you have earned your leave, please come out so that I may see you." We came out and presented ourselves to Zomboss, who then proceeded to pull out his blaster and shoot us with it. The blaster shots didn't hit us and placed an electronic cage around us. Zomboss then spoke.
"You fools, you really thought I was going to let you go? Ha, I'm not jeopardizing the war to release some of the best plant fighters to honour a deal. You will keep fighting till you fall in that arena. Of course you will get every second day off, if you survive." I grabbed the bars, which was a terrible idea, I was shocked into submission and collapsed onto the floor. I managed to push myself up and say.
"You coward. I will keep fighting till I get out of here." Zomboss laughed and looked down at us.
"It doesn't matter, all of suburbia will be mine in a few days, a paradise for zombies. Of course thanks to the help of a plant." All the plants in the arena gasped,
the rumor of a plants betrayal was true. Zomboss continued.
"I think you'll find that time is on my side from now on out." With that, we were taken back to our cells, how could this get any worse?

A/N: Wow this is my longest chapter to date :P, Sorry if the last part isn't done well, sort of rushed it XD. Also, I reference ThePeawithGoggles 'I'll fight till the end' story at the end ;)
