The Adventures of Plant Pete!

Chapter 3: Powers Unlocked

It was the Third Day of school. (I skipped Second). Jordan was on the bus. He swiped his bus pass.

*BEEP!*

Jordan got on the bus. He looked around. He saw 2 kids that go to his school.

"Plant Pete is so awesome!" One kid said. "He beat those Zombies good 2 days ago!"

"Did you know that Plant Pete is immortal?" The other kid asked. "He has been defending the town from zombies for like, 50 years!"

"50 YEARS!" Jordan thought. "Many People were Plant Pete before me..."

*SCREECH!*

Jordan got off the bus. The 2 kids didn't get off. And Jordan REMEMBERED them from the other day. Jordan walked in the school and swiped his ID.

*BEEP!*

Jordan went downstairs to get Breakfast. Chris was there. "Sup," Chris said.

Jordan sat with him.

"I thought your mom makes you breakfast?" Chris asked.

"No, my Mom always makes eggs," Jordan said. "So I want to eat something different."

"Kay." Chris sat there.

Jordan went inside of the kitchen.

"What's on the menu?" He asked the Lunch Lady.

"Egg Sandwiches." The Lunch Lady told him.

"Anything else?" Jordan asked.

"And French Toast."

"YUCK." Jordan hated French Toast. "I'll take the Egg Sandwiches..."

LATER...

It was Lunch Time.

"LINE UP!" The Lunch Lady held a spatula. She banged the spatula on the wall to get the Children's attention.

Jordan was sitting at the table, waiting for Chris.

"Hey, Jordan." Chris walked with him. Chris was with some Girl.

"Who's that?" Jordan asked.

"My Cousin, Audrey." Chris pointed to her.

"Hello." Jordan shook her hand.

"Hey, I'm Audrey." She shook his hand. "Nice to meet you!"

Jordan pulled his hand back. His sweater moved, and it revealed his watch.

"Nice watch." She told him.

"GAH!" Jordan covered it.

"I'm going to get lunch," Audrey told him.

"Jordan, it's okay if you like my cousin," Chris said.

"NO!" Jordan screamed. "I just didn't want her to see my watch!"

"Why?" Chris asked.

"Because...uhh,"

"Jordan, it's okay if you like her." Chris put his hand on Jordan's shoulder.

"But I don't!"

Chris covered Jordan's mouth. "Shh, every little thing is going to be alright."

Chris didn't fall for it.

"UH..." Jordan looked at the corner of his eye. "Look! There's Tuna for lunch!"

"Okay." Chris left.

"PHEW!" Jordan said.

"HA HA HA!" Older kids next to Jordan laughed at him.

"GRRR..." Jordan growled.

LATER...

School was over. Jordan left. Jordan didn't want Chris to see him, because then Chris will take him to his "secret hangout" in the bushes. Jordan ran quickly to get the bus.

5 MINUTES LATER...

The bus stopped. Jordan was JUST about to go on the bus but then...

*BANG!*

"AAAAAA!" People started to run.

"What's going on?" Jordan looked around.

"URRGAA!" Zombies groaned. It was a Horde! Some zombies wore Coneheads for protection.

The Zombies flipped over cars and attacked people.

"I need to transform." Jordan ran in the bushes quickly.

"Someone has to pee." A guy standing nearby said.

*BITE!*

That same guy was bitten by a Zombie and he fell down.

"PLANT PETE, TRANSFORM!" Jordan said.

*FLASH!*

He transformed, and sprinted out of the bushes.

*BANG!*

Master Dave appeared in his transformation.

"It's Plant Pete!" Someone pointed at Plant Pete.

"JORDAN!" Master Dave sat down on a rock. "Swing your arms and aim somewhere to shoot Vines. This is your Base Attack."

"Why are you teaching me how to use my powers now?" Plant Pete asked.

"DO IT!"

Plant Pete aimed at the top of a building. He shot out his arm with force.

*SHOOT!*

A vine came out of his arm. "WHOA!" Plant Pete held tight onto the Vine.

*SWING!*

Plant Pete let go of the Vine and he landed on that building.

"I FEEL LIKE SPIDER-MAN!" Plant Pete shouted. He shot vines from on top of the building.

The Zombies got tied up onto the vines.

2 MINUTES LATER...

Plant Pete trapped all of the Zombies in vines.

"My work here is done." Plant Pete dusted himself.

*RIP!*

The Zombies ate and ripped the vines. They got free!

"AAAA!" Plant Pete screamed. "How do I kill them!"

"Shoot Poison Vines!" Master Dave blurted out. "Poison Vines are powered by the deadly 'Nounmna' virus. It sticks to your target upon contact and poisons them until death."

*SHOOT!*

Plant Pete shot a vine. But it was a NORMAL vine!

"AAAAAA!" Plant Pete screamed.

Zombies were climbing up the bulding he was on. Plant Pete jumped to another building, and the Zombied turned around to climb that one now.

*SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!*

STILL NORMAL VINES CAME OUT!

"How do I shoot Poisonous Vines?" Plant Pete shouted at Master Dave.

"You have to use your head!" Master Dave yelled for him to hear. "You need to picture it in your mind!"

Plant Pete took a deep breath. He thought about Poison and chemicals. He shot a vine.

*SHOOT!*

A NORMAL VINE!

"This is impossible!" Plant Pete screamed and stamped his feet.

Master Dave screamed. The Zombies were going to attack him.

"Oh No!" Plant Pete shot Vines at those Zombies. All of them were normal.

Plant Pete began to sweat. He continuously shot vines. He was tired. He shot one LAST VINE and then...

*POP!*

A zombie died.

"Huh?" Plant Pete said. "I did it!"

He shot more.

*SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!*

Those were poison vines.

*SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!*

And those.

*SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!**SHOOT!*

AND those.

All of the Zombies were dead.

"YAY!" The people came out of their hiding spots.

CHRIS came. "Plant Pete! You just saved that Random Guy with the weird Black Suit!"

"Chris? Shouldn't you be home?" Plant Pete asked.

"How do you know you know my name?"

"Uh, I'm not a kid that goes to your school!" He panicked. "I'm not Jordan Wakefield..."

"Okay, but I didn't ask if you were Jordan Wakefield." Chris was weirded out.

"BYE!" Plant Pete zoomed away.

Chris stood there, confused.

LATER...

Plant Pete and Master Dave were on the roof of a building.

"Hey, Master Dave?" Plant Pete asked. "Why does nobody know you? Why does everybody know me?"

"I knew you were going to ask this." Master Dave said. "I'll explain."

Plant Pete listened.

"There's this guy, called the Watchmaker. He makes these special watches that allow us to transform into Superheroes. Over 50 years ago, he made the Plant Pete X watch."

"Plant Pete X?" Plant Pete was confused.

"That's me." Master Dave answered him. "Anyway, he got a test subject and told him to transform into Plant Pete X. He did, but he didn't like the powers. So the Watchmaker made the Plant Pete watch. He liked the powers, and then he began fighting zombies."

"Kay." Plant Pete said.

"Anyway, He retired, and a new hero was hired. The second person still didn't like Plant Pete X, so he became Plant Pete. This happened 55 times. All of those people were supposed to be Plant Pete X, but they chose Plant Pete. But when the Watchmaker got me, I wanted to be Plant Pete X. I liked the powers. So then, he gave me the Plant Pete watch and told me to find you, so you could be Plant Pete.

"So this watch is over 50 years old! It's an artifact!" Plant Pete rubbed the watch against his face.

*SHINE!*

He accidentally transformed back to normal Jordan. Plant Pete X tapped his watch and transformed back into his normal outfit.

David sighed. "I'm not as popular as you. I'm just the first Plant Pete X and nobody knows who I am."

"NO." Jordan stood up. "I'm going to be absent next time. YOU will save the day by yourself, and you will get the fame that you deserve."

"You're doing that for me?" David asked.

"Yes," Jordan said.
