The Adventures of Plant Pete!

Chapter 2: A New Hero

"Who are you?" Jordan asked.

"Name's Dave." The man said. He had a hairy beard, frying pan on his head, and he wore a Black Suit with green diagonal lines everywhere. On his chest had a white circle. Inside of the white circle were the letters "P" and "X" on it. The "P" was colored green and was behind the "X". The "X" was colored black and was in front of the "P".

"DAVE?" Jordan asked.

"Hold on," Dave said. He was wearing a watch. The watch was also black with green diagonal Lines everywhere. The watch had also had a white circle, with the same letters and the same format on it. The watch had a small LED display under it, and it showed the time there.

*SHINE!*

Dave transformed. Now, he had a blank, white T-Shirt and Blue Jeans. But he still had the watch and the frying pan.

"You're some type of Wizard!" Jordan looked at the man. "You just saved my life from those zombies! I mean, that zombie."

"I'm Master Dave." Dave got on one knee. "I'm a Super Hero."

"AWESOME!" Jordan jumped in the air. "Are you famous?"

"No. My sidekick is." Master Dave explained.

"Who is your Sidekick?" Jordan asked.

"Plant Pete." Master Dave looked at the sky. The Wind blew on his beard.

"Plant Pete is dead?" Jordan shrieked.

"No. He retired a while ago." Master Dave told him. "I am searching for a new Plant Pete. It's for the sake of the world."

"Well, good luck on finding a New Plant Pete." Jordan said. "I gotta run."

"STOP." Master Dave said.

Jordan turned around. "What's wrong?"

"I want YOU to be Plant Pete." Master Dave exclaimed.

"What?"

"I was sent here to find you. My master told me all about you. He said that you will make a good Plant Pete." Master Dave said.

"But, I don't know anything about being a superhero! I'm just a kid! You can't do this to me!" Jordan shrieked.

"It's for the sake of the world." Master Dave repeated.

"You can't just go up to random people and say: 'Hey, wanna be a superhero?' It doesn't make sense!"

"It's for the sake of the world."

"I'm sorry. I have to go."

"It's for the sake of the world."

"Please sto-"

"It's for the sake of the world." he stared right into Jordan's eyes

Jordan stared back.

*SPARKLE!*

His eyes sparkled.

"Oh..." Jordan couldn't resist. "Fine. I'll be Plant Pete."

"Excellent." Master Dave said. "What's your name, son?"

"Jordan," Jordan answered. "Wait, shouldn't you already know my name?"

"Oh, I already knew your name. I was just asking just in case."

"Just in case of what?" asked Jordan.

"Here is what you will need to transform." Master Dave got on one knee, ignoring the last question Jordan asked. He pulled out a square, black case. He opened the case. It was a watch.

"Okay, this is weird." Jordan looked away.

Master Dave grabbed Jordan. Jordan looked at the watch. It was similar to his watch, but it was green with BLACK diagonal stripes. It also had a white circle, and in the white circle had the letter "P" in a dark screen color. Everything else was the same as Dave's watch.

"Now, I will teach you how to transform." Master Dave said. "Watch me."

"Okay," Jordan said.

Master Dave walked a few feet away for some space. "Master Dave Transform!" He shouted loudly with enthusiasm. Then, he smacked the watch.

*SHINE!*

The background flashed black with green diagonal striped. Dave spun around. He stretched out his arms. His eyes sparkled. Then he stretched out his legs. Then he spun around once again and tilted his head up.

*SHINE!*

Master Dave transformed to the same exact suit as before. The letters "P" and "X" appeared on his chest seconds after the transformation.

"Whoa," Jordan said. "I wanna do that!"

"Try your best." Master Dave sat on a rock.

Jordan walked to the same area Master Dave stood.

"Plant Pete, Transform!" He smacked the watch. Nothing.

"You gotta hit the watch harder than that." Master Dave told him.

*SMACK!*

Nothing.

*SMACK!*

Nothing.

*SMACK!* *SMACK!*

"Help!" Jordan yelled.

"Remember, you HAVE to say the phrase first."

"GRRRR!" Jordan growled. "Plant Pete, transform!" He smacked the watch HARD. NOTHING HAPPENED!

"You have to be in a confident mood. You can't be sad, or mad when you transform."

"GRRR!"

"Growling won't help." Master Dave said. "You will just get angrier."

"FORGET THIS." Jordan threw the watch on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Master Dave yelled. "I can't destroy Zombies by myself!"

"Well, you can if you TRY." Jordan stepped on the watch. It BROKE. "I'm tired of silly games. I have better things to do!"

Jordan looked at the time on his iPhone. It was 3:00! "AAAAH! My mom is going to kill me because of YOU!"

Jordan stomped away. "I'll find a way home."

Master Dave looked at the ground. He sighed.

LATER...

Jordan got home at 3:38. He opened the door to his house. His mother was RIGHT THERE at the door. She didn't look happy. Marco was also there. Marco looked happy.

"JORDAN." His mother folded her arms. "Why did It take you so long to get home?"

"There was this guy in the bushes, and-and- he gave me this watch with superpowers...and...he told me to transform, and it didn't work, and I had to change my mood and I-I-I..."

"STOP." Jordan's mother said.

"Ha Ha!" Marco laughed.

"AHEM."

Marco went to his room.

"Jordan, I don't believe you." His mother said.

"I'm serious, Mom! There was this superhero that protects the world from Zombies!"

"Not listening."

"MOM!" Jordan screamed.

"Jordan, you're grounded." His mother said. "Go to your room, and do your homework. You are not allowed to leave your room unless you are going to eat, shower, or whatever." His mother left.

Jordan grunted. He went to his room. "Stupid guy. I don't believe in any zombies or powers. I'm pretty sure that Zombie was fake." Jordan turned on the television in his room.

"BREAKING NEWS!" The reporter shouted out.

"Huh?" Jordan listened to the news.

"ZOMBIES INVADING THE TOWN!" The reporter shouted again. "We are waiting for our Legendary Hero, Plant Pete, but he isn't appearing!"

"What?" Jordan got up. "They don't know about Master Dave AT ALL?"

*SCREAM!* *CRASH!*

Jordan looked out the window. He saw a horde of zombies attacking people on the street! They punched and bit anybody who encountered them.

"AAAAAAAA!" Jordan screamed. "Why doesn't Master Dave fight? Lazy!"

*BANG!*

Jordan looked outside again. He saw cars that were flipped over. Some were on fire. Zombies bit people, and when they fell down, they and got up as Zombies! Jordan was scared.

"What do I do?" Jordan had to fight. "I'm not Plant Pete, but I can STILL fight."

Jordan looked in his backpack to find a ruler or something to help fight the zombies. But something was in his bag. It was glowing.

"What is this?" Jordan pulled it out. It was the Watch! The Plant Pete Watch!

Jordan didn't care about how it got in his bag. Jordan only cared about saving the world. Jordan took a deep breath. "Plant Pete, TRANSFORM!" He smacked the watch. it worked!

The background flashed green with black diagonal lines. Jordan spun around.

"WHOA!" He yelled.

He stretched out his arms. His eyes sparkled. Then he stretched out his legs. Then he spun around once again and tilted his head up.

"I don't know what I'm doing!" Jordan screamed.

*SHINE!* *SPARKLE!*

Jordan as Plant Pete. He wore a green suit with black diagonal striped. The Letter "P" appeared on his Chest.

*CRASH!*

Jordan jumped out of the window. Somehow, Jordan landed on his feet. "HUP!" He got up.

"LOOK, IT'S PLANT PETE!" Someone yelled.

"YAY!" The people screamed and shouted.

"He's going to save us all!" Someone else screamed.

"Wow!" Plant Pete thought. "They all know me! I wonder how many people were Plant Pete before me!"

"GRRAA!" All of the Zombies attention went to Plant Pete.

"TIME TO FIGHT." Plant Pete said. He smacked the watch.

*SMACK!*

Nothing!

"AAAAAA!" Plant Pete screamed. "I don't know how to FIIIIGHT!"

"BRAIN!" The Zombies chased Plant Pete.

"AAAAAAAAA!" Plant Pete ran around and around.

The People just sat there and watched.

"GO PLANT PETE!" Someone said.

"HELP!" Plant Pete screamed.

The people didn't move.

"GO PLANT PETE!" The same person said.

*BANG!*

Master Dave appeared in his Superhero form, of course. Master Dave pulled out a Gun. The Gun was Green, and it was shaped like a Peashooter.

*BANG!**BANG!**BANG!**BANG!*

Master Dave shot Peas with the Peashooter Gun. The peas were large and juicy.

4 Zombies were killed. All of the Zombies looked at Master Dave and they all walked to him.

*BANG!**BANG!**BANG!**BANG!**BANG!*

2 MINUTES LATER...

All of the Zombies were killed.

"YAY PLANT PETE!" A person yelled.

"YAY!"

"WHOO HOO!" The people lifted up Plant Pete.

"PLANT PETE! PLANT PETE!" They chanted.

Master Dave stood there with his arms folded. He smiled.

MEANWHILE...

Jordan's mom was cooking lunch. "Marco! Tell Jordan that lunch is almost ready!"

"Kay." Marco went upstairs to Jordan's room. He opened the door. Jordan wasn't in there. "HEH." Marco giggled. He wanted to get Jordan in TROUBLE.

"MOM! JORDAN ISN'T IN HIS ROOM!" Marco ran downstairs.

"He is probably in the bathroom." His mother kept cooking.

*ZOOM!*

Marco ran to the bathroom and kicked the door down. Jordan wasn't in there. Marco then checked the other Bathrooms, and the Closets, and the Basement, and the ATTIC. Jordan was nowhere. Marco informed his mother.

"MOM! Jordan isn't in the house!" Marco snitched.

"GRRR!" His mom was angry. "I can't believe I let him SNEAK out! JORDAN!" She stomped upstairs.

"HEH." Marco grabbed his iPhone to record. "Once she sees that Jordan isn't in his room, she will go crazy! I can't wait to upload it on YouTube!"

Jordan's mom opened the door. JORDAN was there!

"Hey, mom." Jordan was reading a comic book.

"Is this some type of Joke?" Their mother put her hands on her hips.

"WHAT?" Marco screamed. "He wasn't in there! I swear!"

"I don't wanna hear it! Stop making jokes! If Jordan REALLY ran away, that would be serious!" Their mom went back in the kitchen to cook.

Marco stood there. Marco went in Jordan's room.

"I know there's something up your sleeve." Marco told Jordan. Marco left Jordan's room and he closed the Door behind him.

"PHEW!" Jordan wiped sweat off of his face and then he continued to read.

"WAIT." Marco kicked the door down.

"Uh oh." Jordan thought.

"WHERE did you get that WATCH?" Marco told him. "When you left for school, I didn't see you with it on."

"Uh, my-my-my FRIEND gave it to me! Yeah, his name is Chris! He had tons of these!" Jordan said.

"Not buying it." Marco folded his arms. Marco looked at the watch CLOSELY. "That's the Plant Pete logo." He pointed.

"Oh, It's Plant Pete merchandise!"

"PHEW!" Jordan said.

"WAIT." Marco kicked the door down AGAIN.

"WHAT?" Jordan screamed.

"NOTHING!" Marco said. "I just did it to get you scared."

Marco left.

"Not funny." Jordan thought.
