Everyone is gathering in Zomburbia to prepare for another huge convention conducted by Zomboss, shortly after the first one has ended. It is scheduled to start as soon as the sun begin to set.Meanwhile after the sunset...
Dr. Zomboss, aware that he's late, was rushing to the stage as fast as he could. After he got to the lectern, he apologized on the nail.
"Alright, forgive me for arriving here late. I got engrossed on my Pop Smarts that I forgot the big moment's tonight." Zomboss articulates to the microphone as he breathed heavily.
"And yes, tonight's the BIG night. I got no one to watch my back since they're busy planning how we'll capture the mutants." Zomboss further adds.
"Wait, we're gonna do it NOW?" Grass Knuckles asks in a clamorous tone.
"ASAP. No one wants to stick their ass in the ground as the abominable filths continue to devastate the rest of the world!" Zomboss vocalizes.
"Boss, I still don't know what a MUTANT is!" Neptuna screams as she grasped on the lid of her fish bowl.
"Good question, Neptuna. Just to make things clear for everybody, mutants are creatures that escaped in my lab. They're labelled as my creations, especially the failed experiments and the successful ones." Zomboss states.
"But what are those-"
"-do NOT meddle while I'm talking. Listen to me first, okay? I'll explain everything." Zomboss as he promptly breaks someone's sentence.
"Now, most of the mutants fall into the failed experiment category. They look REAL nasty. And there's these rare successful ones that can adapt in any environmental conditions, and they're quite neat to look at. But regardless, they all have the capabilities to tear down the places they're in, due to their, well, enhanced attributes." further dictates Zomboss.
"They're NOT meant to break out of my laboratory anyways. They're originally test subjects for my newly-made substances that I don't know how they interact. Except for a very few, they're genetically modified to be supersoldiers, like my zombie assistant and a peashooter. Not any normal peashooter though." Zomboss voices.
"Who's that peashooter?" Impfinity questions Zomboss loudly as he hops repeatedly to see what's on the stage.
"Uh, I haven't named him yet. But frankly, he's our primary target. He's too dangerous to be kept loose out there." Zomboss responds.
Grass Knuckles asks Zomboss once again. "Dangerous, In WHAT way? Most of the peashooters in Neighbourville fear me to some extent."
"Thank you for the question. Now, he's NOT to be underestimated. Like I said, he demolished this whole place in a few minutes and it took me a hell out of a chunk of my time to build Zomburbia back again. He even managed to flee when literally EVERY GODDAMN zombie is coming for his ass. So I decided to join forces with you plants to STOP him once and for all." Zomboss further declares.
Everyone cheered.
"LISTEN CLOSELY! For now, we're gonna take TWO approaches once we track our target. One, we're gonna send groups of plants and zombies so they'd be occupied fighting all of them. Following the possible death of thousands of our comrades, the heroes would appear next to close the target. And if all of that failed, I will bring a team SPECIFICALLY trained in combat led by the zombie cyborg of mine to finally take that fool down." Zomboss proclaims.
"NOW, for the other approach, we're gonna take it slow and quiet. I'm personally not a fan of doing things in snail-speed, but if you guys want to, then okay. Anyways, I'm gonna send an espionage to send feedback to us while they watch the target. Then we will lure them into someplace to be ambushed by a bunch of lightning reeds to weaken them. The heroes and the rest of the plants and zombies would follow to make sure they won't escape." Zomboss further adds.
"Everyone, choose what approach we're gonna take, and we'll begin." Zomboss utters.
The majority of people chose the second approach while a few chose the other one. Zomboss got mad, but managed to take a deep breath and hold it in.
"Alright, prepare your gears. We'll begin as soon as everyone is ready. And also all of the heroes, come with me, we have particular matter to discuss." Zomboss adds as he went off the stage.
...
Super Brainz, Impfinity, Grass Knuckles, Neptuna, Immorticia, The Smash, Green Shadow, Wall-Knight, and Rustbolt all followed Zomboss into Crazy Dave's backyard where the rest of the heroes could be met there. As soon as he went from the sliding glass door, the group of heroes following him arranged themselves.
"Everyone, LISTEN." Zomboss shouts as the heroes quickly glances at him.
"Be mindful of HOW often you use your abilities. The individual you're all gonna face is nothing like before. He is specifically made for combat, and it was a mistake to do so." Zomboss voices.
"Oh yeah? He's technically just a rip-off of me." Green Shadow expresses as she rolled her eyes.
"You have a point." Zomboss speaks as everyone laughed.
"Okay, ENOUGH. Everyone that attended the stage picked the second approach which involves sending a group of spies to give us information. And a handful of lightning reeds to stun our target so that the rest can attack and capture him. Understand?" Zomboss enunciates.
"Yes, we do." The heroes assert.
"Wait, hold on." Wall-Knight vocalizes.
"What?" Grass Knuckles asks as everyone in the backyard gaze at Wall-Knight in confusion.
"It's only the three of us. Where's the rest of the plant heroes?" Wall-Knight inquired Grass Knuckles as they both looked at each other.
"Uh, yeah, I just noticed that." responds Grass Knuckles.
"We need to look for them." Immorticia suggests.
"They're all looking for Chompzilla. She's been absent for a while now, how'd you all don't know that?" Shadow answered.
"Everyone, look for them, NOW." Zomboss voices firmly as the heroes gets out of the backyard... except Green Shadow stayed. Zomboss was confused, but he decided to converse with her anyways.
"Doctor?" Shadow asks as she crossed her arms.
"Why'd you stay here?" Zomboss as he scowls in bewilderment.
"You're starting to act different, y'know?" Shadow utters as she glowers back.
"And what can you base that on?" questions Zomboss in defense.
"I sense some bad blood between you and Chompzilla. If we find out you did something to her, we'll eventually cut ties with you." Shadow vocalizes.
Zomboss let out a small laughter and voices, "Why would I? If she's gone for good, then It's not our fault since I warned you all NOT to venture outside without precaution. She only got herself to blame if she get in trouble."
"Hmph." Shadow grunts as she leaves the backyard."Crap, she's starting to lose trust on me. I got to do something while she doesn't spread it to others." Zomboss mutters as he hurriedly walk inside and out of Dave's garden.
End of Chapter 6.
