The next month was all about training. The shooting range was always occupied. Everyone had their role and knew it. Peashooters were going to rush in with Chili Bean bombs and then retreat back to cover. Cacti were going to snipe at the back. The Sunflowers would be at the backbone of the team, healing and providing support on the go. Chompers would stay close to Sunflowers and not stray too far. Kernel Corns were the ones who would really assault. With their Shuck Shot they would be able to take out anything, and do heavy damage to Mechs. Roses were supportive, not going too close and providing support for the plants via goatify & time snare. Citron was full out assault with his heavy weapon and shields.
A month passed and the plants were ready.
The Pod Father got into his support ship and looked at the battle from space. Penny drove the plants to the part of Zomburbia
"Here we are, at one of our old areas." Sunflower said.
"Yup, this is going to be one hell of a fight, but I know we can do it." Agent Pea chimed.
"Ready for deployment, on your mark plants." Penny said.
"Ready, let's do this." Camo Cactus replied, with bravery.
"Deploying, go, go, go!" Penny shouted.
"Everyone, remember your roles. Be careful too." Kernel said.
The wall had rocket bots on it; there were some holes in the wall that could be broken.
"Get the rocket bots out of the way, and then move!" Kernel said.
Meanwhile Zomboss was closely watching the security camera.
"Argh, those pesky plants, thank you for alerting me, Jackson." Zomboss said.
The zombies gathered around to defend, including the new zombie heroes.
"Don't let those bastards take down our graduation, KILL THEM!" Zomboss shouted.
The plants took care of the rocket bots, Kernel called in his Butterhawk to obliterate the front gate plants spewed through it.
"Alright, remember guys, chili beans away." Law Pea said.
"Got it, and then take cover." Agent Pea replied.
The Peashooters rushed into the tombstone, throwing out their Chili Bean Bombs and then running away. Cherry Bomb Strikes were also being used by Pod Father.
"I'm going to summon the teleporter and guardian crystals." Rose said in a firm voice.
"Good, Citron and the other Corns will go for the tombstone and eliminate zombies." Kernel replied.
Rose summoned the teleporter as the other roses summoned guardian crystals. Weeds were sprouting up and attacking lone zombies. ZPGs were being fired at plants, Ice Pea got injured real badly, but fortunately Sunflower was there to aid him.
"I have that asshole that fired at Ice Pea in my sights. Give me a second; he's going to be headless very quick." Camo Cactus said to Sunflower.
"Great shot Camo Cactus; I have a Scientist approaching Mystic Flower. He can kill her off very easily due to her not expecting anyone." Future Cactus said she then fired two piercing shots at the chemist. Right in the arm and through his leg he crawled away and hid.
"Good, you're getting good at sniping." Camo Cactus commented.
"Why thank you." Future Cactus chimed.
The Citrons and the Kernel Corns destroyed the tombstone. They turned it into a garden and quickly lead the other plants to the second graveyard. They killed off any stray zombies that happened to not retreat to the tomb.
"Wow, it actually happened!" Peashooter beamed.
"Teamwork, that's what made it happen." Kernel Corn said.
They continued to rinse and repeat what they did, until they were at the final tombstone before the graduation. Zomboss called in the new zombies heroes. They all popped out. Deadbeard was sniping from a great position, thus making it hard for anyone to kill him.
Fire Cactus was sniping until she was hit in the face with huge coins. She screamed in pain while crying for someone to help her. Deadbeard took one last shot and finished her off.
"Plants, we lost Fire Cactus. I heard it all via her communicator." Penny said.
"NO! Not Fire Cactus!" Cactus cried out.
"Cactus, it's alright." Mystic Flower said.
The Mechs were back, but inhabited with little imps. Super Brainz was also there, with his League.
"What the hell?" Kernel Said.
"What is it?" Peashooter questioned, worried.
"There are new zombies. And it doesn't look good." Kernel replied.
"Don't worry, I got these stupid Mechs. I was a bounty hunter and I always hunted them." Citron said.
Citron ran over to some Mechs and EMPeached them making them vulnerable. All the plants fired at them. The Z-Mechs made the Imp eject while the Mechs flew back to Z-Tech Factories to repair themselves.
"Hell yeah, those motherfuckin' Mechs are down, but there are Imps and some sort of Super Hero?" Kernel Barked.
"Don't worry, the cacti crew has this!" Cactus said.
They slowly picked off the Super Brainz. Due to them being close ranged they shot Super Ultra Balls at plants further away, putting them in huge danger, one of the, hit Agent Pea straight in the face. Metal Petal went back to Penny and put him there until further notice, she stayed by his side the entire time. The plants eventually defeated the zombies there.
"You fools! This is where the graduation is going to take place. DON'T LET THEM RUIN OUR PARTY!" Zomboss cried out.
Foot Soldiers were guarding some entrances and were disposed quickly of, but they did some damage to some plants. Chocolate Cactus was seriously wounded. Mystic Flower kept aiding him; he was wounded so badly he fainted.
"You ready?" Law Pea said.
"Yup." Peashooter responded.
The Peashooters rushed out, destroying statues and chains around the graduation area. They had a little bit of time to get the hell out of there before the entire buildings would fall down. Any unfortunate zombies would be crushed. Some managed to escape but barely. They all returned with some wound. After the buildings fell, the sun shined through, meaning the plants took this part of Suburbia.
"One down, a lot to go." Kernel said.
A lot of the plants went back to the Backyard. Others stayed at that part of Suburbia. They all met up in the evening and celebrated. They were moving into this part of Suburbia for now.
"Chocolate Cactus, are you alright?" Mystic Flower questioned as Chocolate Cactus woke up.
"It still hurts." Chocolate Cactus squealed.
"Hang in there, you'll be fine." Mystic Flower said.
The sprouts were starting to grow up into children. They could run around without being in their pots. The plants had some of their courage back.
