Meanwhile in Neighbourville.

Zomboss is currently having another meeting with the Plant Heroes at the roadside nearby Crazy Dave's front yard.

"Doctor, but they keep on getting away! In other words, they're so nimble!" Solar Flare states.

"Oh, In what way? Need to be more in-depth." asks Zomboss.

"Well, Rose told us that an octopus-like creature propelled itself away with a peashooter. Not any normal peashooter though, it has lots of hair." explains Flare.

"Wait, hold on. A peashooter with hair?" Zomboss hurriedly queries.

"Yeah, but I don't really know what she meant by the octopus thingy. She's being indistinct about it." Flare answered.

"Alright, where is she then?" Zomboss questions once more.

"In the second floor inside of Mr. Dave's house. You'll met her there with Shadow." responds Flare.

"Okay, you know the drill." Zomboss utters as they both part ways.

Zomboss rushes to Dave's house as Flare intended him to, and met Green Shadow, but not Rose. Confused, he tries to ask her.

"Hey, where's Rose?" Zomboss asks Shadow.

"Hey. I'm here." Rose answered as she briefly raises her hand.

"You. Get out of here. This is important." Zomboss directs Shadow. She quickly runs out of the door and slammed it in anger.

"OK, so I have something worth raising." Zomboss dictates.

"Um, what is it?" Rose asks.

"An octopus creature escaped with a peashooter, according to what you told to someone. Can you give me more information about it?" questions Zomboss.

"Ah, yes. I reckon it was a tangle kelp. Except he isn't any other tangle kelp that I have met before. It really has a lot of arms and it can walk upright!" Rose answers.

"What? It's a mutant THEN!" Zomboss vocalizes in surprise.

"Uh, I don't know what a mutant is. What's that, doctor?" Rose interrogates.

"Alright." Zomboss as he clears his throat, "Basically, mutants are my creations that broke free," He uttered.

"Oh, but what classifies as one?" Rose asks once again.

"They have the potential to destroy anything. Literally ANYTHING. That's why we all gathered up in the first place. I intended them NOT to break out my laboratory every time, although I remember I managed to contain a few before they cause further damage." Zomboss states.

"It's currently impossible to identify who is exactly a mutant. But if we find someone worthy of being examined, we will HUNT them." Zomboss further declares.

"And what if that particular person is confirmed to be a mutant?" queries Rose.

"You know what we do with threats. We eliminate them. Simple as that." Zomboss decrees.

"But what about Chompzilla? People keep thinking that she's weird. And trust me, the plants have known her for years and she won't even hurt a fly! Well, except if you provoke her, she'll not kill anyone!" Rose worriedly voices as she explains to Zomboss about Chompzilla.

"Uhh... how about you think about it for a moment? Nobody is being entirely unreasonable. That thing is massive and it could possibly EAT several tons of buildings whenever it wants to. So, it may NOT be dangerous in the present, but it might do nasty stuff in the near future." Zomboss as he desperately try to justify the behavior.
