Chapter 5: Getting Footage

"After I left my uncle Torchwood, I took the rest of my day off. The next day, I met with my team to see what my aunt Penelope has to know anything about the anti-virus. My aunt was able to capture some of the previous events by using the garlic drone Guess what we all saw, one of the PBI agents shot dead by the foot zombies and…"

Green Shadow : Known only as Impfinity. Our under cover plant recorded this out of Greenville. Hypno-Shroom.

Hypno-Shroom : Thank you Green Shadow. Impfinity is Zomboss'ed number two and is also a member of the Zombie Heroes. The concept of empathy is understood by him, but irrelevant.

Green Shadow : Our garlic drone recorded this crime scene two days ago at the Philippines.

Mike Shade : We lost contact with a reconnaissance drone over the Philippines last week.

Leon Shooter : Wait a minute… the Marigold we found at Canada told us Zomboss is using plant food to develop a cyber-weapon called Solar. What if it's that weapon taking out our drones?

Mike Shade : You know what? This Impfinity zombie guy could be fairly entertaining.

Tallnut : Fairly.

Mike Shade : What do you say we blow off a little steam huh?

Leon Shooter : You got it.

Mike Shade : Come on, come die with me.

"The moment I heard that phrase, I began to see visions in my head."

Leon Shooter : What did you just say? Come die… what? These nightmare I'm getting… I know I was kidnapped the night my dad died but could never see… It was that Sack-Head Zombie dude. Did he kill my dad? Okay okay. You know my mom and Torchwood raised me after my dad died, but he always told me it was just a Zombie that killed him. What the heck is going on?

Green Shadow : Leon. You keep on seeing those nightmares? I… don't know what to say.

Leon Shooter : You knew about this don't you aunt. Why didn't Torchwood tell me?

Green Shadow : No no. I mean, I know what happened to you a long time ago but I just can't remember that night, not even Torchwood knows who killed your dad.

-Flashback-

Sack-Head Zombie : You die with me. For all the sins of those who came before you. Torchwood… Repeater… Snow-Pea… Green Shadow...Solar Flare… they created this, for my works… TONIGHT! Your father will DIE!

-End of Flashback-

"March 17, 2027. After the meeting I had with Plant-Ops with my aunt Penelope, she gave me and the team a mission to support the Plant Heroes in the Philippines. The next day, we arrived at our destination. We brought two garlic drones for defence, as we head our way to the Plant Heroes, we got ambushed by the zombies, luckily we survived by taking cover in a random room inside the building. Our drones got deactivated during the ambush, I was trying to fix the two drones while Mike, Tallnut and Wintermellon are giving me cover."

Mike Shade : The zombies got us pinned down! C'mon Leon, hurry up! We need these drones active tonight!

Leon Shooter : I'm trying!

Mike Shade : Your 4 gigabyte ram must be stuck!

Tallnut : They're closing in!

"Mike punched one of our drones and they became active all of a sudden."

Mike Shade : There. Unstuck!

Leon Shooter : Onion drone systems are active! Weapons systems online!

"We took cover as our drones began to fireback at the zombies. We survived the ambush after our break free get away in that building. The Philippines weather environment is too rainy, so rainy that it can already cause a flood. We were able to reach our destination. A city called Makati. I ordered Wintermellon and Tallnut to take the drones up to the buildings so they won't short circuit while Mike and I took the flooded areas. In Makati, we saw the Plant Heroes heading towards us, zombies were coming after them. So I told them to hide inside the sewer with me and Mike."

Captain Combustible : Never thought that our back up would be team Plant-Ops. So, you must be the son of Peashooter.

Leon Shooter : It's an honour captain.

Grass Knuckles : Plant-Ops, listen up. The reason why you are here in the Philippines is because that we need help in order to get the film.

Mike Shade : What film?

Betta-Carrotina : A film which shows us the answer to what Zomboss is planning to do.

"Suddenly… I received a transmission from Tallnut. He says that…"

Tallnut : Zomboss is here. Courtyard with the Zombie Heroes.

Leon Shooter : I'll contact Green Shadow.

"I contacted my aunt while Mike was watching over the Plant Heroes. Rose had nearly fainted at that moment."

Leon Shooter : Aunt Penelope. The plant Heroes are here and they're safe.

Green Shadow : Well done Pea. I'm patching you through the courtyard's interior schematics. Now your best advantage points is gonna be at the rooftop… overlooking the courtyard, the garlic drones will flank you on your infiltration route. These drones are all that you've got, so if you lose one of them, you're on your own, and you keep your eye on Z-Mech's drones. If that drone gets a hold on you… you can run but you'll die tired.

Leon Shooter : Understood Aunt. Plant Heroes, changing plans. Go back to your mission while Plan-Ops and I will go see what Zomboss has got in store for us.

Plant Heroes : Got it.

"Mike and I went to the courtyard undetected while the Plant Heroes went back to get the film they had lost."

Mike Shade : The roof will still give us an advantage on Zomboss.

"We both took the rooftops just like what my Aunt said. After we got up, we saw three foot zombies patrolling the roof, so we took them out one by one. I was able to see Zomboss, so I pulled out my camera to take footage of it. As I did, we got compromised by him, he was able to see me just in a second, he alerted all the zombies to kill me. I thought I was done for but then suddenly… the garlic drones were shooting all of the zombies including Z-Mech. I saw Wintermellon and Tallnut at the other side, guess my strategy wasn't bad at all. Zomboss and Z-Mech escaped before I could manage to fully record this. 3 minutes later, the Plant Heroes were able to get the film in time. Plant-Ops and I were able to support the Plant Heroes mission, we didn't have any evac until Crazy Dave and the evac team showed up."

Leon Shooter : Woah… Crazy Dave, You're here in the Philippines?

Crazy Dave : Of course Leon. Your Aunt told me about this, so I had to go here and rescue your team over here, including the Plant Heroes.

Captain Combustible : Sir, we were able to obtain the film.

Crazy Dave : Guess we can call this mission accomplished again huh?

Leon Shooter : You said it Crazy Dave.

"After that, we all got inside his RV and went home to our families."
