The current Plant Heroes made their way back to Modern Day as they descended to Dave's garage.
"So this is the future…" said Wall-Knight, already amazed at how the future looks.
"Yeah, and if you think this is neat, just wait until what else they have here!" Rose was excited to show Wall-Knight around, and vice-versa.
"Hey, I've got an idea!" said Crazy Dave. "Why don't we take a little break from finding the Heroes? Explore a little bit."
"That's a good idea," said Green Shadow. "But shouldn't we find the other Heroes too?"
"Well, yeah, but you guys fought so well today. We all deserve a break to relax for a while."
"Crazy Dave," said Solar Flare. "You are the best!"
All of the Heroes began to take their leave, except for Jordan, who wanted to stay and ask Dave something.
"Hey, Crazy Dave? During that battle at the fair, we noticed that we seem to leave some webbing behind. It may have something to do with something else that occurred during the explosion. It was a spider that bit me." Dave thought long and hard and thought of something for the two.
"So, Jordan. I think I can invent some type of goober to help you control your webbing. If you'd like, I can make some for you right now!"
"Well, sure!"
Spider-Vine and Crazy Dave went to the bottom of the Base, which was home to a lab and an invention that will no doubt be important in a future fanfic. Dave went to the lab and tried to design the goober for him. If you are reading this and have seen Spider-Man, you probably already know what it is.
"I call them Webby-Shooties. They take the web fluid from you and string it together to make lines of webbing. You can even shape them any way you'd like!" Crazy Dave demonstrated by designing the Webby-Shooties and using blueprints to show its power.
"That's… pretty cool! So how fast do you think you can build these?"
"Maybe a while. You two should really take a break in the meantime. You deserve it!"
"Are you sure you don't need help?"
"I insist! Oh, but if you want to look for some more Heroes while you are out, be my guest!" Spider-Vine decided to do both as they began to head to the monitor to see if there are any more traces of the Hero-tron's effects. The two noticed a trace of the effects at Zen Peak, which is an ancient temple located in the Kongfu World era of 1673 where both Plants AND Zombies vacation during off-peak travel times, or to just meditate or relax.
"Hey!" Jordan and Viney were startled by a noise behind them. This time, it was another Plant Hero that many already know about: Citron! A bounty-hunting orange from the Far Future era, he decided to join the war in Modern Day. He was walking up to Jordan as he found Zen Peak. Jordan recognized him.
"Oh, hey! I know you! You're Citron, right?"
"Yup, that's me! Bounty-hunter extraordinaire! Now, Spider-Vine, I know you are busy looking for other Heroes, and-"
"Wait, how do you know our potential name?"
"Future, remember?"
"Oh, yeah…"
"Anyway, you're about to get the next Hero, right?"
"Yeh. There's one in Zen Peak. Wanna come?"
"Of course! Does Dave know yet?"
"We were gonna ask him when we leave the tree. Like, now." The trio took their leave after getting the thumbs up from Crazy Dave, who was still hard at work on the goober. After meeting Penny again and setting coordinates for Zen Peak.
"Welcome to Zen Peak! Now, for the traces of the effects, just follow my lead. They should be about this hill." Penny was right. She leads Spider-Vine and Citron to the temple located in the middle of the peak to see a Mushroom. This one was noticeably different than others, with him sporting a cape with the leaf emblem on it and his Mushroom head shaped like a cap. It appeared to be meditating as the three approached him.
"Hello. Welcome to the temple. I have been expecting you three."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but that's something people say here to creep everyone out. But it's still a pleasure to meet you. I am Nightcap, one of the two headmasters of the temple."
"Oh. Do you remember being hit by anything recently."
"I am fully aware of the energy I was gifted with thanks to that ray from the sky. If it weren't for that ray, I would still be just an ordinary Fume-Shroom. Now I can expand my teachings in more expressive ways!"
"Well, we are recruiting Plants to come to Modern Day to help fight the Zombies. You are one of those Plants we needed to see. Hello?" Viney noticed Nightcap meditating, as if he senses something.
"I am detecting something. Multiple somethings…" Nightcap quickly got up and into a battle stance. "Reveal yourself!"
Out from the shadows came multiple Karate Zombies.
"Ugh, Karate Zombies. High-jumping pests…" Jordan remembers playing Garden Warfare 2 in his downtime, where he would come across a Karate wave at one point or another. "And we just finished a fight too!"
"Really?" This caught Citron by surprise. "Well, if you want, we can handle it for you."
"Seriously? Are you sure you don't want us to help you out?"
"NO, it's okay. We got it. Plus, from what I've heard, you have helped a lot in finding some of the other Heroes. You deserve a break!"
"Oh, well… thank you." Spider-Vine graciously thanked Citron and Nightcap and went back to Penny, deciding to contact Crazy Dave.
"Hello? Dave?"
"Oh, hi, Jordan! DId you find out where the signal was traced to?"
"Yeah, it's in the Kongfu World. We found a martial-based Mushroom. He and Citron are fighting some Karate Zombies at the moment. They told us to go ahead and take a break so we're just gonna sit inside of Penny unless Citron can summon his ship."
"Oh," said Penny. "He can summon his ship."
"Really?"
"Of course. How else would he had come here?"
"...Anyway, so wanna head back to Modern Day?"
"Of course!" Penny set her coordinates and flew off, hoping that Citron and the new Mushroom Hero can fight them all off. However, when she got back to the Backyard Base…
"Hey, what took you so long?" Citron and the Mushroom Hero were already there waiting.
"Wait, how did you…" Then Jordan remembered. Time traveler.
"So you about to take your break?"
"Pretty much. We're gonna be back up later though. But first, Dave, did you finish the goober you designed?"
"Oh, yeah. Here!" Dave took the goobers out of his pot, showing Jordan the Webby-Shooties. "Just snap them on! But it does sting a bit since it digs into your skin." He was right. Jordan felt a slight pinch as he put them on.
"Ehh, I can get used to it after a while. So how does it work?"
"It's simple: Just press that button in the middle of your hand and a web will shoot out! Just be careful how you hold it so the webs will shoot out." And Spider-Man fans probably know how Jordan used his Shooties. He used it to propel him and Viney back to their house, where they hoped that their mother will be waiting for them.
AU: So we find two new Heroes, one of which is from a Chinese version of PvZ 2. There are actually a lot of worlds in there so I suggest giving it a look when you get a chance. We also find something that everyone has been waiting for: web-shooters! Spider-Verse fans may notice that I used the term "goober"? Yeah... So I may do at least one or two more chapters of this because I'll be honest, all of the Heroes are probably going to be found at this point. If you read my original story, you probably saw the other found Heroes finding new ones? That applies here but, since this is from Spider-Vine's point of view, I probably won't cover their findings for now. At the moment, let's just focus on what would happen to them both when they get home.
I also want to get to my Spider-Verse sequel as soon as possible. And I already plan on making a spinoff.
Well, as always, leave a review! Never hurts to help!
