A/N Hello! ThePeaWithGoggles here! Welcome to part 1 of chapter 13! (I decided to split the chapter into 2 parts, I think it would be a bit too long for my liking if it was just one chapter) So, here comes the serious stuff (well, maybe XD) Wow, we're not even hallway through the story and we're already at chapter 13! Man, we might pass 20! Haha. From now on, chapters (including this one) will be rated T just in case I add in something that needs the rating to be T. Anyways, enjoy!

A few days later...

It was early in the morning, only a few Plants have awoken from their sleep, but the Chomper knew that Lynith was most likely awake already, as the explosions that could be seen from the corner of his unseeable eyes were already good enough proof.

Suddenly, a canister flew through the window, Ane quickly caught it. As he cautiously opened it, he hoped that it wasn't one of the Foot Soilder's grenades that were poisonous to the Plants.

Luckily, it wasn't. It was just a note from L.E.A.F about their new mission, which confused the Chomper sightly. I thought they didn't used these anymore?

Shrugging, he quickly read the note, it was a demolish mission, again. He sighed in disappointment, he kind of wanted a defence mission, but perhaps from being promoted to Alpha they could only receive demolish missions.

But what was weird though, was that note told him his could only bring in 4 Plants unlike the usual 16. He was starting to get a uneasy feeling about this...

He shook his head to himself, he guessed that this mission didn't need so many Plants, he put that thought at the back of his mind as he stood up, finding the other 3 Plants that were fit for the job.

He soon found his way to one of the Plants he was looking for, Sarah. Who was in the canteen reading something a book about "How to deal with.." The rest of the words were too hard for the Chomper to read.

"Hey, Sarah." Ane said with a smile, approaching the Cactus who was reading the book, she came with no reply as she continued to read, sipping her cup of tea that she got from a table that had the drinks at the far left of the canteen.

The Chomper took a seat, sitting right next to the Cactus, the smile still on his face. "So...I got a note from those canisters that L.E.A.F used to give us 2 years ago, which I thought was weird at first but I decided to shrug it off, and well like before, the note had a new mission." The Chomper looked at the Cactus for a second, she hasn't left her eyes off the book, but she was listening to his small conversation.

"The mission is a demolish mission, again." The Chomper continued, disappointment coating his voice. "And well...I could only bring in 4 Plants." The Cactus' eyes widen, but disappeared as a curious expression replaced it.

The Chomper chuckled softly before continuing. "Yeah, I know right? But I guess that this mission doesn't need much Plants like the usual missions." The Chomper looked at the note that was currently placed on the table.

"So you want me, Hershel and Mystic to help you out?" The Cactus finally spoke out as she closed the book she was reading, taking an another sip from her tea soon after.

Ane nodded, the smile from before returning, "Yeah! It will be like old times, where it was only us 4!" The smile on the Chomper widened as he thought of the memories he made with the 3 of his closest friends.

The small giggle from Sarah snapped him from his thoughts, she gave him a nod before replying. "Sure, I think Hershel and Mystic would love to help as well, but I think Hershel might be rather hesitate though." The Chomper nodded in agreement, knowing that the Toxic Peashooter hasn't been on the battlefield for nearly 3 years, he could barely go hyper now.

"But it's worth a try, right?" The Chomper asked as he stood up from his seat, Sarah doing the same right before she replied. "Perhaps, but let's meet up with Mystic first."

The Cactus quickly finished her cup of tea before setting off to the infirmary, grabbing the book along with her.


The short trip to the infirmary was uneventful and in silence. The Plants who walked past them greeted them with polite smiles, which they returned.

Sarah was the one who opened the door that led to the infirmary, once it was fully opened, they were greeted with different variants of the Sunflowers walking around attending to their patients, injured Plants were lying on the beds that they were occupying.

"Hey there!" Exclaimed a familiar voice, which came from a Mystic Flower who was walking towards them, she smiled a wide grin once she saw her friends. "What brings you here to the infirmary?"

The duo couldn't help but smile from the adorable grin that the Mystic Flower always had since they met, Ane was the one to answer Mystic's question.

"We need your help with this new mission we received from L.E.A.F." The Chomper said as he lifted up the note, showing it to the medic that stood in front of them. "It says I can only bring in 4 Plants, I decided to bring in myself along with you, Sarah and Hershel." He continued, earning a nod from the Cactus.

The Mystic Flower thought for a good 4 seconds before coming up with a reply. "I'd love to join in! but I'm not sure about Hershel though. He probably doesn't even want to leave the machinery room, by the way, I'm pretty sure he's married to one of his wrenches." She said with a amused grin as she joked about the Toxic Pea's love for anything related to machinery.

The duo who came to see her laughed softly, knowing that Hershel did spend a lot of his time in the machinery room, but once they had their fun, Sarah spoke up. "I guess you're willing to help us then?"

The Mystic Flower's smile widen in amusement. "Of course! But I have to talk to Chernly about this so she can replace me for the time being." She quickly ran of to the left side of the infirmary, who she was met with a normal Sunflower. After a few seconds of talking, the Sunflower nodded, signalling that she has agreed on taking the lead for a short while.

"Let's go meet Hershel!" The Mystic Flower quickly exclaimed as she ran out of the infirmary, making her way to the machinery room, the 2 other Plants quickly following her.


"HEYA!"

That was the first thing Mystic said as she found her way into the machinery room, scaring the Toxic Peashooter to the point of him screaming in a high pitch tone, pretty much one of a girl's.

Once the Toxic Pea regained his composure, he was met with Mystic, soon with 2 other Plants coming into the room as well. He gave them an annoyed look before speaking.

"Can you guys not scare me for once while I'm working?" He looked back at the RV that he was still upgrading, soon sighing. "After that little incident with Rodly I've been working 24/7."

The Mystic Flower gave him a confused look. "You mean that Orange that was introducing himself to everyone a few days ago?" The Toxic Pea gave her a quick nod before coming up with another question. "Why are you 3 here anyways? It's not like I'm doing anything that will spark your interest, unfortunately."

The 3 Plants exchanged glances of worry, Sarah was the one to speak up this time. "We have this mission that we have recently received from L.E.A.F, and we can only bring in 4 Plants, and since you're more trust worthy and well...one of our closet friends we would like you to join us."

Hershel gave them a look of uneasiness before replying. "M-me? On the battlefield? I haven't set root on that for at least 3 years. I can't even root myself to Gatling form anymore." Disappointment coated his voice at the last few words of his speech.

The 3 gave him a look of encouragement, Mystic gave him her wide grin before speaking. "Haha, don't worry! You'll get to your prime in no time! We can help you out if you need us!" The other 2 Plants nodded in agreement, smiles printed on their faces.

Hershel have them a weak smile before taking a deep breath. "O-okay, I'll try. At least I can still shoot." He said as he stood up from his seat as he dropped his wrench, earning a wide smile from Mystic as she gave him a thumbs up, metaphorically of course.

The group of Plants, now United and ready for action, headed towards the room where they kept the portal.

Sarah quickly typed in the coordinates and activated the portal. Once it was glowing a bright purple, the group of 4 Plants gave each other looks of encouragement, soon stepping in the portal.

Once they were all on the area that was on the other side of the portal, they were met with the area they were going to capture.

The Toxic Pea was breathing worryingly, but soon disappeared as he decided to gulp, there was no turning back.

"Ready?...like old times?" The Chomper asked, glancing at his 3 friends, who all nodded in determination.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled. "Let's do it then."

A/N wow, I didn't expect this chapter to get so many words. XD but I guess it's okay. Haha, the next part will be way more interesting I hope! ThePeaWithGoggles out!
