Central Intelligence Agency
Plants had all gathered around the main console to watch the events developing at the Garden Center. A cactus suddenly burst into the room and all of the plants turned to face her.
"Welcome Director." A sunflower greeted her. She walked passed him and sat down in a chair located in the center of the room.
"Dave give me a summary of what we're looking at." She commanded the flower.
He gave her a nod before continuing "The group of plants are currently on the 5th wave, and are handling the gargantuar surprisingly well."
Another plants spoke up "The gargantuar has just been taken out Director."
She raised an eyebrow at this "Impressive. Well looks like I'm now forced to help them, as a good citizen and all."
The other plants grinned at this knowing full well she would help just to annoy the council.
She looked towards the screen and asked "What do we have that can help them?"
A peashooter spoke next "We have the potted plants, but advanced stages are still in testing. We just aren't getting the funding we need to make advanced plants."
She crossed her arms at hearing this and sighed. No matter what they said or did, they were always refused funding in favor of the defense department. "In that case, send them what we have. I know it's not a lot but it should be enough to help them fight off the remaining waves."
"Should we send James to make sure they get there?" Dave asked.
She thought for a moment before responding "No, but have him ready to pick them up. For now we'll airdrop the potted plants in."
"Yes mam. Alright you heard her, get those plants loaded up and shipped out." Dave commanded the other plants in the room.
She smiled at him and then turned her attention back towards the monitor and thought to herself "These plants might have just changed the war."
The Garden Center
"See anything yet?" Winston called towards Grace. It had been a few minutes since the fifth wave had arrived, and the team now anxiously waited for the zombies to mobilize themselves and strike again.
Grace hadn't seen anything yet, but she was getting tired of Winston's constant questions. "You know what Winston, now that YOU asked me if I notice anything I think I do. Thank goodness for your amazing leadership." She snarled at him before returning to her lookout position.
Winston took this as a sign to leave her alone and just wait for her to call them. He walked over to Static and Nebula and found them squinting at something in the distance. He followed their gaze and saw a ship fast approaching. As it neared, a hatch opened and ten small, brown pots fell towards the ground and landed with a thump.
The three of them gathered around the pot and peered inside to find a miniature peashooter pop out of the soil. He looked around to make sure the area was clear before turning his attention to the plants. He gave them a quick salute before returning his attention to the surrounding area.
They looked around and saw that the other nine pots held the same thing, a miniaturized peashooter ready for battle.
"Well, that makes things a little easier." Nebula remarked as Grace walked up behind them.
She acknowledged the tiny plants before speaking "Good, because the next wave is fast approaching."
Winston nodded and looked towards Static and Nebula "Alright let's get ready. Static take on any and every special zombie, leave the regulars to us. Nebula make sure every plant, including these little guys, is at full health. Only attack zombies on your way towards helping other plants, don't actively seek them out."
Static plunged into the ground and Nebula headed off in search of a good place to watch her teammates. Grace had already found a great spot to scope the zombies out, and she began picking them off from atop of the fountain.
Winston watched as the potted plants began firing at the zombies, surprising them and slowly dwindling their numbers. Winston dashed off and took care of all the leftover zombies, surprised at how fast the wave had been diminished.
Once the last zombie was taken care of, Winston looked around for Static. "Static, anymore specials show up?" Winston knew that engineers and all-stars were still a problem, but he wasn't sure if any would be sent to deal with them.
"No new ones, but there are still plenty of foot soldiers and scientist to eat" Static answered back. Winston heard Nebula laugh at Static's remark and smiled to himself. It was a huge relief know that the two got along so well, and they were just more evidence that all plants could get along.
Wave seven went by just as fast, with little to no resistance being felt by the zombies. Any zombie that came within twenty feet of the garden had their head blasted off by either Grace or Winston. Nebula made sure that every plant's health never dipped below half, and Static ate any zombie who tried to stop her.
Things didn't start getting interesting until wave eight. Static was busy chasing down a foot soldier when out of the corner of his eye he noticed something coming out of the ground. He stopped to investigate and found that it was a tombstone rising up from the Earth. He was about to report it to Winston when a hand popped out and grabbed at Static.
Static ran back towards the garden to warn the team of his new discovery. "We've got a problem, zombie generators are appearing now, and I don't know how to get rid of it." He yelled. The team turned to see Static being followed by a group of zombies that had seemingly appeared out of thin air.
"Grace! Nebula! Take care of the rest of them. Static, you're with me. We're going to take care of this contraption." Winston commanded. Static followed behind Winston as they rounded the corner to figure out how to take care of the tombstone. Before the two of them could figure out a solution, the grave rumbled and sunk back down into the ground.
Static and Winston shared a look and started to return towards the garden, but not before Static remarked "Well that plan went under." Winston turned to see Static grinning, and he just shook his head at the silliness that was his new teammate.
The two were alarmed to see that the next wave had already arrived, and they wasted no time jumping in to help Nebula and Grace fight back the horde. They threw the strategies out the window and just started blasting any and every zombie they saw. At one point Grace was forced off of the fountain by a ZPG blast, but that didn't stop her from ending the zombie's life. Again.
Nebula started firing at a coffin zombie, only to find that it had a large amount of health. Static snuck up behind it and ate it's outer shell, exposing its weak body to Nebula's solar pellets.
Winston surveyed the field and determined the ninth wave had been destroyed. While this was a small relief to him, he knew that the hardest wave was about to be upon them. He gathered the team up and had them wait around the garden, preparing them for the final group of zombies.
The ground began to shake and a gargantuar rounded the corner, already prepared to take out the plant's garden. Then another one came up behind him, looking just as mad as his brethren. With a mighty roar, the two simultaneously charged at them, causing the group to split apart from each other.
Winston immediately began formulating a plan in his head. When he finally figured out his strategy, he began yelling his instructions to his team "I'll distract the gargantuar on the left. Nebula and Grace, keep the other one guessing as to where your shots are coming from. Lead him near the mini plants so they can do damage, but not too close that he destroys them. Static, help he distract this one."
Static ran past Winston and straight towards the buildings with the gargantuar right on his tail. He turned the corner to find that the tombstone had reappeared, and the zombies were already rising around it. Static thought for a second before deciding to stand his ground. As the gargantuar rounded the corner at full speed, Static jumped out of the way and caused the giant to crash straight into the tombstone, crushing it and all of the zombies in the area.
Winton came up behind him and jumped onto the gargantuar's back, making sure he was dead. Winston smiled and looked at Static "So you are smart."
"Of course I am, you think just any plant could formulate that totally planned not at all bull shit idea?" Static sarcastically responded.
The other gargantuar was in a similar situation. He couldn't tell where any of the damage was coming from, so he just started randomly smashing parts of the ground. It didn't take long for Nebula and Grace to finish him off, sending him crashing back into the ground where he would stay.
The team gathered back around the garden just in time to see it brighten up before turning the entire park into a luscious and beautiful place. The peashooter pots grew stronger, and the whole team felt the positive effects of the garden.
Grace turned towards the sky and saw a ship approaching. She frowned before saying "That's not the RV. It should've arrived by now."
"Don't worry, that's the same ship that dropped off the pots. They must be friendly." Nebula reassured her.
As the ship drew closer, two groups of plants jumped out and made sure the area was clear before another plant jumped down. He was a peashooter with slicked back hair and a bow tie. He didn't have a normal mouth, instead it appeared that he had a special kind of firing mechanism in his mouth.
He strolled over to Winston's team and greeted them "Hello. My name is James, and we have much to discuss."
