Episode
''The episode continues to where it left of. The plants are already on the hijacked rocket ship, except Spudow, who was chased down by a squad of space cadets, and Ensign Uproot, who is far behind. Spudow is trying to grab on the descending ramp.''


 * Solar Flare: Hurry. Grab on, big guy.


 * Grass Knuckles: Back up a little then charge onward to jump.

''Spudow walks back in a short distance. The space cadets back off and stopped chasing. Spudow then charges forward as fast as he could and is about to jump...''

''But then he slipped over a banana peel, causing him to slide to a pile of boxes. The space cadets laughed at this antic and continues to chase them, only to realize the floor is all banana peels. Grass Knuckles faceplams in disappointment.''


 * Solar Flare: Where did all those bananas came from?

''Spudow then stands up and rub his head. He then was carried by a blue beam that lifted him up the ship. It was projected by Ensign Uproot.''


 * Ensign Uproot: Got your back, partner.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Someone give him a quick boost.


 * Green Shadow: I'm on it.

''Green Shadow has her grappling hook attached in the ship as she swings down to get Ensign Uproot. Now everyone's in the ship.''


 * Countdown Timer: T-Minus 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...


 * Dr. Zomboss: Wait! Cancel the timer for a moment.

''Dr. Zomboss is seen behind the crowd of space cadets, along with the heroes. He is wearing a thick layer of winter coats.''


 * Green Shadow: What is he doing now?


 * Solar Flare: Get on with it, braniac! We're freezing to death here.


 * Dr. Zomboss: I just happen to have a question to your carrot friend over there. Beta-Carrotina, is it? Might wanna ask, what's your planet look like.


 * Beta-Carrotina: ... (whispers to Green Shadow) Who's this big-headed midget?


 * Green Shadow: He's Dr. Zomboss. He is the mastermind of the zombies and is a crazy person.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Hey, Dr. Zomboss. Might wanna let us blast off now. Also, my planet looks like... something where you're not invited. Also, your working for Huge-Gigantacus so why should I tell?


 * Rustbolt: Can't we just destroy them while they're still here?


 * Dr. Zomboss: Not now, Mr. Stank. I'm still getting to know her motives. So, Ms. Carrotina. Where did you get your powers?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Captain Carrotina's powers consist of space travel, genetic mutation, and making alliances. He isn't that as superior as her former mentor.


 * Ensign Uproot: Yes. We fight for Captain. We are his superpowers.


 * Solar Flare: I had enough with this terrible charade. Let's get out of here!

''Solar Flare gets our the rocket ship and flies to the combustion engine. There, she sets herself on fire and flies upward. This caused the rocket ship to fly, somehow.''


 * Dr. Zomboss: Hey! I wasn't finish talking to you. Came back here. Argh! (holds a Space Cadet on his shirt) What are you idiots standing there?


 * Electric Boogaloo: Dr. Zomboss, you need to chill.


 * Dr. Zomboss: Chill?! How can I chill when I'm literally freezing to death!


 * Rustbolt: Looks like we're just gonna do the whole tractor beam plan. Come on, doofus.


 * Super Brainz: Following.


 * Electric Boogaloo: Don't leave me behind. (wears space helmet and hops on Rustbolt's back)

''Super Brainz, Rustbolt, and Electric Boogaloo exits the frozen moon base as they fly away and chase down the escaping plants. The other zombies who are left sent Dr. Zomboss to his escape pod and prepares to send him back to Earth.''

''The scene cuts to the plants at outer space. Solar Flare enters back to the ship with a seriously burnt face. Spudow make her lie down and places a blanket on her.


 * Green Shadow: Well done, Solar Flare. You really helped us get out that irritating conversation.


 * Grass Knuckles: Yeah. You should get some rest. Your flame powers might actually burn you if you used it too much.


 * Solar Flare: Thanks... guys... for the support...

''Beta-Carrotina left the control room to Ensign Uproot as she approaches Solar Flare. She used her scanner on her.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: This power reading is strange. It's extraordinary.


 * Wall-Knight: What's strange?


 * Beta-Carrotina: Her powers are off the charts. Might wanna elaborate her powers a little bit?

Green Shadow and Beta-Carrotina went to another room to talk about this.


 * Green Shadow: Well, Sunshine was hit by the Hero-Tron beam like everyone else. She gains the ability to set herself on fire and fly.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Have you seen her become too powerful? Like she becomes very hot that it burns her surroundings?


 * Green Shadow: She basically burns the path of grass she stands on. I remembered her duel against Electric Boogaloo where she started to heat up so much it's like the plants around her are burning. I even felt it.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Could she be... a celestial?


 * Green Shadow: A celestial?


 * Beta-Carrotina: I'm not exactly sure but a portion of her powers can almost equal those of a medium star, like your Sun. Celestials are ancient sentient bodies whose powers are equal to those of a celestial body. Halley, the Shooting Star, is a celestial, and Huge-Gigantacus was also one.


 * Green Shadow: And I thought my green invisibility powers were weird. I never knew she has such strong power. With that, we could defeat the zombies, stop crime, eliminate Huge-Gigantacus.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Yes, but there's one problem. If she uses it too much it will destroy innocent people or much worse, herself. Earthlings don't have the proper genetic material to possess a Celestial's powers.


 * Green Shadow: Well, I guess we should be on a lookout. We should help her balance her powers if that would ever happen. But it won't. Sunshine's a happy and energetic flower.

''The rocket ship was hit by something. The alarms started to make noise. As the plants looked at the screen showing what's behind them, it was the zombies. Rustbolt was launching some toaster missiles at the ship. Electric Boogaloo help shoot lightning bolts at the plants.''


 * Rustbolt: You plants aren't going anywhere.


 * Super Brainz: OK, plant villains. We'll leave you alone if you leave Meteor Z to us. That's a simple deal.


 * Green Shadow: We are not gonna let that happen.


 * Super Brainz: Then... I don't know what line to say this. (looks at a script he's been carrying on) No, not "Die". It sounds too violent.


 * Rustbolt: Well then, we are just gonna make you move out of our way. D.I.R.T., deploy the Tractor Beam.

''A giant laser cannon in the same shape as his Shrink Ray comes out of his back and starts firing a purple tractor beam, which the plants dodged. It, however, hit an asteroid and started pulling it close to him, which he also can move to the plants' ship.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: Lieutenant, any data about our arrival to Meteor Z?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Negative. The entire area is covered with normal space rocks. It'll be hard to track down Meteor Z.


 * Ensign Uproot: We have to do something. Captain, use Lightspeed Seed for us to get out of here.


 * Beta-Carrotina: I can't. We may lose track to our coordinates.


 * Green Shadow: (points on the window) Look out!

''The plants' ship luckily dodged the lobbed space rock. They the have to dodge a bunch of them floating in the midst of space.''


 * Wall-Knight: (operating the control panel) Let me help you activate the emergency boosters.


 * Super Brainz: Hey, plants. I have a surprise for you.

''Super Brainz started throwing some asteroids at the plants, which they mostly evade. He then resorts in throwing some smaller asteroids that are lying around a bigger one. These mushroom-like bodies attached themselves to the rocket ship.''


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: What are those?

The astro-shrooms looked at the plants behind the window.


 * Spudow: They look pretty cute.

''The astro-shrooms started to vibrate intolerably. This caused a bunch of burning space rocks from a distance to draw near them and hit the ship with precise damage. This almost shattered the window.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: What was that?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Looks like a specie of space mushroom. They probably don't like having company.


 * Super Brainz: Ha! Bullseye.

''Super Brainz started to turn around and look behind him. There he saw Meteor Z.''


 * Super Brainz: Hey guys. I found Meteor Z.


 * Rustbolt: Excellent work. Bow go get a head start on there and push it to this direction using your super strength.

''The zombies flew close to the meteor. So does the plants upon finding it. The plants' ship landed on the surface of the meteor and exits the ship as they make their first step on the surface.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: We're here, guys. Lieutenant, search for the exact center of the meteor and plant the bomb there. Ensign, make sure your tractor beam is fully operational. I'll go look for Huge-Gigantacus.


 * Green Shadow: I'll fend off Super Brainz.


 * Grass Knuckles: I'll make sure no other zombie dares to interfer.


 * Wall-Knight: I'll go get the chips.

''As the plants go to their respective areas, Super Brainz flew to the other side of the meteor and starts pushing it to Rustbolt's direction. Rustbolt then charges up the tractor beam and starts pulling it, aiming the meteor to a new orbit to the sun. The plants feel the meteor moving unnaturally, not in its usual state.''


 * Rustbolt: U detected the plants on the surface of the meteor. Might wanna get rid of them.


 * Electric Boogaloo: I'm on it!

''Electric Boogaloo lands to where the plants are, in the very center pole of the meteor. He starts fending them off with an electric storm, while Grass Knuckles do what he's good at, charging onward and fist fighting him. Lieutenant Carrotron continues to dig a hole under the pole as he planted the bomb. Spudow helped by planting some hotheads on the ground.''

''Beta-Carrotina and Green Shadow walked to the other side of the meteor. There, they found the wreckage of the zombie ship, but Huge-Gigantacus is nowhere in sight. Green Had her hawk senses tingling, detecting Super Brainz pushing the meteor on the other side. She immediately rushed to him and shoot peas, slowing hm down. Super Brainz notices the upcoming trouble, he charges to Green Shadow and hurls her to a different asteroid, one with Astro-shrooms, which caused each astro-shrooms to get threatened by Green's presence and crash down flaming rocks at the asteroid they are standing on. Beta-Carrotina gets the chance to fire a concussive blast at Super Brainz, which caused him to be thrown away to a much farther, much larger asteroid full of astro-shrooms, and you know what happened next.''


 * Solar Flare: Alright, I got enough rest. (wears her goggles) Let's set everything on fire.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: The bomb has been planted. Let's get to Captain in the other side of this rubble.

''The carrots immediately went to the other side of the meteor where Beta-Carrotina is at. Solar Flare finishes off Electric Boogaloo by engulfing him with a stream of flames and Grass Knuckles uppercuts him to another astro-shroom-infested asteroid. They went on to the other side to help out.''


 * Ensign Uproot: The bomb has been planted and it will detonate in a minute.


 * Grass Knuckles: Now what?


 * Beta-Carrotina: Let's use all our strength in pulling this meteor apart. Everyone cooperate. Ensign Uproot will use his tractor beam to pull it in space.

''All the plants started using their strengths to pull the meteor apart while Ensign Uproot flew outside the gravitational field of the meteor to use his tractor beam in pulling the meteor. Rustbolt saw this and puts his tractor beam at maximum power. The two contesting beams are in a tug-of-war against the meteor. One minute has passed, yet the bomb planted by Lieutenant Carrotron malfunctioned after Electric Boogaloo shot an EMP ball at the meteor unintentionally.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: Why wasn't the bomb working?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: I don't know. Someone must have sabotaged the device.


 * Solar Flare: There's gotta be another way to blow up the meteor with enough force.

''Spudow thought of a way to make his hotheads blow up. He looks around and saw the astro-shroom-infested meteor on a distance. He also asked Ensign Uproot to redirect the tractor beam to that meteor and crash it down in the pole.''


 * Ensign Uproot: Not sure about your plan, partner, but I'll try.

''As Ensign Uproot did what the spud said, Spudow ran back to the poles and taunted Electric Boogaloo in throwing the astro-shrooms to him. As the astro-shrooms from both meteors arrived, he planted lots and lots of hotheads on the ground, causing the astro-shrooms' abilities to trigger, causing a volley of flaming meteors from space to crash down their direction. Thus caused the hotheads to explode, and thus then caused the meteor to break apart into different pieces. One large piece was redirected by Rustbolt's beam to a different orbit. Another larger piece with the plant are going off to an opposite direction. And a smaller Chuck flew to Earth.''


 * Rustbolt: Breaking the metro apart isn't what I thought. But I guess this'll do. You two, let's get back to Zomboss.


 * Super Brainz: Mission complete! I guess. (grabs EB and leaves)


 * Beta-Carrotina: Oh no. The meteor was successfully redirected its orbit by the zombies. Ensign, do something.


 * Ensign Uproot: I can't. My tractor beam's busted.


 * Wall-Knight: Hi guys. I'm back with the chips. Anyway, some bad news. Our ship's out of gas, so...


 * Grass Knuckles: We're trapped in a wrecked space rubble! (starts punching the ground)


 * Beta-Carrotina: Where is this meteor taking us?

''Green Shadow was brought by Solar Flare along with the cluster of astro-shrooms back to the shattered meteor. He gazed upon a red planet ahead.''


 * Green Shadow: Er, guys. I guess we're going... that way.

Scene cuts to a view of space, with half of Meteor Z floating towards the red planet ahead.
