A/N Hello! ThePeaWithGoggles here and welcome to chapter 4 of...you probably know. XD so, last chapter. Quite a few things happened. Kendrick is not dead?! Hehe, that'll be explained this chapter! Get ready for flashbacks! Enjoy!
The sky was a crimson colour, like it always was for the past 4 years.
The Peashooter wasn't sure how long he was walking, but it's definitely been well over a day. The only thing that could be heard in this wasteland were the winds and his roots making contact with the dead ground.
He sighed. It was a miracle actually, he haven't drank nor eaten for 3 days, which was quite the feat. But he could slowly feel himself's body begging for him to rest for at least 10 minutes. But he kept pushing forward, determined to fix what he started.
There wasn't any sighs of Plant or Zombie life. Which was very strange, the Peashooter thought that he at least would see a browncoat aimlessly running around.
He currently was walking across a wide wasteland, which probably was a forest before the tide of war changed into the Zombies' favour, as the remains of trees cut down could be seen littered around the large area.
Glancing around each corner that his brown eyes could see, he still haven't found a single life form running about.
But just as he stopped walking for even less than a second, he found himself getting shot at by lasers from behind, which burnt him quite a lot.
Turning around, he came face to face with one of the Elite Zombies that he hated the most, the Imps, but mostly due to their mechs that was given to them by Zomboss.
"I was expecting someone like you to lay root on this land once again." The Zombie smirked, his voice was high pitched, as if he was a deranged child. The Peashooter glared at the smaller being before him.
"Look." The Peashooter said as he quickly got into a fighting position just in case the Imp started to shoot. "I'm not here to fight, well not now at least."
The Imp, who wasn't buying the Peashooter's attempt to not fight, quickly reloaded his guns, a mad smile in his face.
"You may escaped me before." He pointed his guns at the Peashooter, whose glare was still upon him. "But I can tell you this is where your dead body will be lying on once you finally die." Just like that, he started to shoot.
The Imp gained a few lucky shots on the Peashooter, who growled as he was shot. Knowing that there weren't any cover to replenish his health, it was now or ever.
Quickly activating his hyper ability, he circled around the Imp a few times, which luckily made the Imp dizzy. Using this to his advantage, he shoot a few peas at the smaller entity, due to the Imp unable to dodge them, were all shot right at his face, gaining a few critical hits.
Once the Imp regained his composure, he quickly realise that with such small health he would definitely be the one dying here.
He quickly threw a grenade, which the Peashooter was too late to notice, making him be lifted up from the grenade, becoming an easy target.
But even if the Imp could shoot the Peashooter while he was being levitated he decided to bring in his mech, knowing that the Peashooter wouldn't go down easily just like that.
Just as the Imp got in the mech, the effect of the grenade subsided, dropping the Peashooter, his roots made a loud thud as they touched the ground.
The Imp smirked at the Peashooter who was now shorter than him. "Haha, fair fight. Am I right?" He said jokily, but didn't amuse the Peashooter, the Peashooter knew this was no where near a fair fight.
The Imp activated his mech, making it shoot. But most of them were dodged by the opposing Peashooter.
Activating his hyper ability once again, he ran behind the mech, which was slow when it comes to walking or even turning around.
Spitting out a Bean Bomb, it exploded in a matter of seconds, but it didn't do much damage to the robot.
Laughing, the Imp quickly activated one of the mech's abilities, the right hand of the robot quickly turned into a rocket launcher, starting to shoot at the Peashooter who attempted to dodge it.
Unlike the previous projectiles that were shot by the Imp, the rockets were slow but packed quite the punch, even if it wasn't as strong as the ZPGs shot by the Foot Soldiers.
The Peashooter couldn't activate his hyper ability in time, resulting getting hit by most of the rockets.
Gritting his teeth in pain, he quickly returned the shots, right at the Imp's face, who now had the stains left by peas on his face.
Since the Imp no longer could see through the stains, the Peashooter used this to advantage before the stains disappeared.
Quickly jumping on the mech, deciding not to shoot it since his peas won't do much damage, he decided to grab the Zombie from his seat.
"Hey!" The Imp exclaimed once he was pulled from his seat by the Peashooter. "That's cheating! You can't just do that!" He growled, he couldn't shoot, as he left his guns in the mech.
The Peashooter smirked in response. "Using a time machine counts as cheating as well." The pea shooting Plant retorted, he shot out a few peas at the Imp, easily vanquishing him.
The mech that the Imp used to be exploded moments later, luckily the Peashooter was out of the radius of the blast, resulting not loosing any health.
Dropping the vanquished Imp on the ground, the Peashooter continued his way into Zomburbia.
At the infirmary at L.E.A.F's base...
Icee silently watched the unconscious Fire Peashooter who was in front of her, she was also joined with Ane, the other leaders have already left, but the Chomper decided to keep Icee company until this was all sorted out.
"You sure it's him?" The Chomper asked with a unsure look. "It could be any other Fire Peashooter." The Ice Pea shook her head in response.
"It is him." The Ice Peashooter replied with determination. "I just know it."
The infirmary wasn't full of lot of activity, the only ones there were the two Plants along with the unconscious Fire Pea.
A groan could be heard as the Plant started to wake up, alerting the two.
Icee quickly walked towards him while the Chomper remained unmoving, unsure whether or not he should just walk towards a Plant he may not even know.
Once the Fire Peashooter opened his eyes, Icee immediately asked with concern. "Do you need any help? Water, food? just tell me."
The Fire Peashooter groaned once more, his vision slowly coming to focus. He scratched his eyes before speaking.
"A glass of water would help." Just as he finished speaking, Icee swiftly ran out of the infirmary, coming back with a glass of water moments later.
"Here you go, sir." She said as he gave the Fire Pea the glass of water, who finished it in a matter of seconds, he out the now drunken glass on to a the table in the left of his bed.
"Haha...thanks." The Fire Pea was fully awake. "May I ask your name?"
The Chomper watched with concern. He's probably gonna freak out...
"My name is Icee." The Ice Pea replied with a smile. It took a few seconds before the Fire Pea started to freak out.
Yep..I was right... Ane thought to himself. This'll be interesting indeed.
The Fire Pea looked as if he seen a ghost, he flailed his arms madly. "I-it's me! Kendrick!" He said with the most widest smile the Chomper has ever seen on a Peashooter.
"I know it's you, you idiot." The Ice Pea replied with an attitude that both the Chomper and Fire Pea didn't expect. "Now explain where the hell you were for the past 4 years or I'll extinguish that fire on your head."
The Fire Pea chuckled nervously. "Yeah...you deserve an explanation." His wide grin disappeared.
"Well...there was this time back at the other country..."
Flash back
The Fire Peashooter ran through the debris of the burning base. The Zombies came unexpectedly, no one was ready for it.
Screams of vanquished Plants were heard, he was immune to the fire as he was made of fire himself, but the other Plants who weren't met with a terrible fate.
This attack came so suddenly, so so suddenly. The Fire Pea gritted his teeth as he continued to run through the burning base.
"H-help me!" A cry of help was heard, the Fire Pea quickly sprinted towards the source, finding himself come face to face with an young and injured Toxic Pea.
The Toxic Peashooter was completely surrounded by the flames, if he were to use his hyper ability, it was certain he was going to get burned.
Kendrick, quickly activating his hyper ability, sprinted towards the young once, picking him up moments later.
"Thank you s-sir!" The Toxic Pea thanked once he was picked up, earning a nod from the Fire Peashooter.
But the Fire Peashooter came to a abrupt halt, coming face to face with a large Zombot, which seemed it didn't need someone to control it.
The large robot could breathe fire, probably why this fire started anyway, it's red glowing eyes glared at the two Plants below.
Sweat started to pour down from the Fire Pea's bulb, he ran as fast as he could, dodging every fire ball that was shot from the autopilot robot.
Through the burnings flames, he found a path where the Toxic Pea could escape from.
Dropping the Toxic Pea, Kendrick gave him a concerned look before speaking. "Go through this way...I need to deal with something." The Toxic Peashooter nodded, running through the safe path, soon finding his way out of the burning building.
The Fire Pea turned around, finding himself standing in front of the robot that caused this mess.
The Zombot shot out a few fire balls out the flaming Peashooter, which were easily dodged.
Even knowing that a Fire Peashooter like him would only caused minor damage, he still decided to shoot out his flaming peas at the robot's face.
The Zombot noticed that the fire balls that it was shooting won't burn the opposing Fire Pea into a crisp. It opened its mouth once again, a giant laser forming in its mouth.
The Fire Pea noticed this sudden change in tactics, quickly running to a cover. A huge laser was shot, a laser that wasn't so easily invaded.
A few seconds later, Kendrick could hear the sounds of the robot scanning for any sighs of life, which luckily it didn't. Thinking that the Fire Pea was killed, the robot left the area, leaving the Fire Pea traumatised with another event about a burning house.
Once the robot left, he got out of his cover, only to be met with the now destroyed base.
A few days passed, he found a small boat that could be used to return to his home, quickly going on it and activating it, he was on his way back to Suburbia.
End of Flashback
"Everybody thought I died." The Fire Pea with a sad expression. "And well...about a week later I found my way back to Suburbia."
The Ice Pea that he was talking to could only watch him in disbelief. While the Chomper who still haven't move from his position stared at the two siblings.
Well...that was interesting.
A/N finally done! Happy dance! Yay! Now you all know why Kendrick didn't die! :D I'm a bit too lazy to write a author's note right now so ThePeaWithGoggles out! Ps. Sorry if there's any typos. :(
