User blog:PeaVZ108/A Galactic Gardens Tale Issue 2A - Alien Ooze

Check out the first one: THE PHOTOSYNTHESIZER

There were no comments in the previous episode, so here's my plan:

1. I will alternate each issue featuring a plant card or a zombie card (E.g. Next issue will be a plant card, the 4th will be a zombie card.)

2. Environments will be featured sometimes, but it will not be featured as the main Galactic Gardens card.

3. Issues will not feature cards randomly, it will go down in an order. This is Part 1 of the current issue. Part 2 will be published next week!
 * Guardians will always be featured first, from uncommon to legendary, then to Kabloom, then to Mega-Grow etc in the same format.
 * Same for zombies, only the order will be from Beastly, to Brainy, to Crazy etc.

Enjoy reading!

STORY
(The day after the Annual Suburbian Band Competition, Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut decided to add their new trophy to their trophy collection.)

Peashooter: And...there we go. Another win!

Sunflower: It was all thanks to Spikerock and my Photosynthesizer!

Photosynthesizer: *in robotic voice* Happy to help, Sunflower!

Wall-nut: I can't help but get the feeling that we should head to the beach to celebrate.

Peashooter: Me too! What a great idea!

Sunflower: What about a picnic?

Peashooter: No way. We're going camping at the beach, so we'll leave in 2 hours.

Sunflower: Got it!

(2 hours later...)

Sunflower: And a sunscreen lotion...

Wall-nut: Wait, you don't need that. You're already a Sunflower, you're supposed to absorb sun.

Sunflower: Good point. *puts the tube back*

Peashooter: Let's set off!

Photosynthesizer: ''Take care, my friends! *after they leave* Sigh...if only I had arms and legs...''

(The three plants went back to the same beach they were at when fighting Huge-Giganticus. After setting up their tent, Peashooter and Wall-nut splash at each other in the sea, while Sunflower "suntans" herself.)

Sunflower: The weather is sunny today. How WONDERFUL!

(Meanwhile, in Dr. Zomboss' office at Z-Tech Headquarters...)

Dr Zomboss: The weather is sunny today. How '''AWFUL! '''Grrr....*looks at the three plants* How I hate the happiness! How I hate the light! How I hate...plants! I can't take it! I must see how my air force is doing. *switches screen, only to see his air force down* THAT DOES IT! All these weeks I planned these air raids, they amounted to nothing but failure! It's time I asked for the help of my minions.

(In the Brainer's Lounge, an Imp, a Zombie and a Gargantuar are playing Go Fish.)

Zombie: Uh, anyone has twos?

Imp and Gargantuar: *bored* Go fish.

Imp: This place is boring! Nothing but standard 52-card packs!

Zombie: Yeah, I wish we have a better adventure than this.

Dr Zomboss: *over the intercom* Attention, my malicious minions! Imp, Zombie and Gargantuar in my office! NOW!

Imp: What does that Dr Zombutt want now?

Gargantuar: Uh, maybe he's offering us candy? *notices Imp and Zombie glaring at him* Uh, hehehe...maybe he isn't?

(Eventually, the three zombies enter Dr Zomboss' office.)

Zombie: You called us, sir?

Dr Zomboss: Yes, I asked you here. I am in favour of your hard work lately.

Gargantuar: Sir, does this mean we're going to get a pay raise? If so, I can get that Sweets Surprise from Cadbrainy's!

Dr Zomboss: NO, you giant brainhead! Since you worked so hard, I'm gonna give you extra!

Zombie: *sarcastically* Yay! What is it?

Dr Zomboss: *shows the three photos of his past air raids* Look at this. These are moments of my unnecessary failures from my air raid plans!

Gargantuar: But sir, won't it work better with a land or water raid?

Dr Zomboss: Don't interrupt! Now where was I? Oh yes! I want you to find a way to make my air raids successful! I'm launching another wave tomorrow, and I better have that solution fast! Do whatever it takes!

(The three zombies exit the office.)

Imp: Now we have another assignment in our hands! Thanks to Gargantuar!

Gargantuar: Hey, I'm so sorry, okay?

Imp: Forget it! We need to find a solution like Dr Zomboss said.

Zombie: Let's ask Professor Brainstorm. He might have one.

(In Professor Brainstorm's lab...)

Professor Brainstorm: Sorry, boys. But I have been working on many solutions lately, so it will take days before I can fulfill your request.

Imp: But you gotta help us! Dr Zomboss' orders.

Professor Brainstorm: *sighs* Very well, check out my potions over there. They're categorized in alphabetical order.

Zombie: *checks the F category* Flame Potion...Flu Potion...F*** Potion...well..Fly-killer Potion. Close enough! No potions on flying! ARGH!!!

(1 hour later...)

Zombie: I have scanned all shelves, thrice! And no potions to help us. Whatever are we going to do?

Imp: You might have missed out something.

Gargantuar: Maybe we should check what that potion is.

Zombie: But I have checked every single one!

Gargantuar: Not those, THAT! *points to a lone pink potion with tentacles in a transparent safe*

Imp: Woah, cool! *reads the label* ALIEN OOZE. When it attacks, it drains one's life force. Super-effective on greater heights and adaptable to different environments. Do not unleash unless necessary.

Zombie: Is that alien friendly to zombies? *tries to poke it, but the alien poses an attacking stance that scares him*

Imp: I think that answered your question.

Zombie: That's it! We can use this alien for Dr Zomboss' air raids! Alien, you're coming with us.

Professor Brainstorm: STOP! That alien, "Ooze", is a highly dangerous alien that can bring disaster if unleashed.

Imp: Yeah, well. That's the whole point. Dr Zomboss wants to create disaster on the plants.

Professor Brainstorm: Any other potion, but this. Ooze is off limits!

Imp: Uh, give us a moment, Professor. *whispers something to Zombie and Gargantuar* Alright, have it your way. We'll take a potion and leave Ooze alone.

Professor Brainstorm: Thank goodness.

Imp: *takes a random pink potion from the shelves* This one will do, Professor.

Professor Brainstorm: Yes, well, good luck.

Zombie: We're sure going to need it.

(Outside the Professor's lab, the three zombies run back to Z-Tech Headquarters with their pink potion.)

Imp: Yes, that old coot fell for it!

Zombie: What's next?

Imp: Tonight, we'll proceed with our heist! An alien heist!

(That night, the three zombies return to Professor Brainstorm's lab disguised as scientists.)

Zombie: I can't believe we're actually doing undercover.

Imp: Me too. But orders are orders, so we have to do it. Gargantuar, stay here and whatever you do. DON'T. MAKE. A. SOUND.

Gargantuar: Sure, Imp! I'll stand guard.

Imp and Zombie soon return to the shelves full of potions and see the safe, with Ooze in the potion bottle.

Imp: All we need now is the key.

Zombie: You mean the safe? I don't know where it is!

Imp: Look around this place. It has to be here.

(Soon, both zombies get tired of searching and decide to take a momentary break. Zombie finds the key as he sits down.)

Zombie: You mean it's been here the whole time? *checks to see that the key is under the K category* F***! Off all places, the professor has placed it here?

Imp: No time to swear, we have a safe to tear! *grabs the key and unlocks the safe* Now, Zombie. Place the replacement potion.

(Zombie replaces the Alien Ooze bottle with the pink potion they took earlier.)

Imp: Now let's get out of here before...

(Zombie's arm crashes into a potion, which drops to the ground and breaks. CRASH!!! Professor Brainstorm hears this and wakes up.)

Imp: Zombie! What have you done! Quick, jump through that window! Professor Brainstorm is coming!

(The two zombies rejoin Gargantuar outside the lab with the real potion. Professor Brainstorm moves to the safe, only to see the fake potion there. Thinking that it was real, he closes it. But he hears nothing. Sensing something suspicious, Professor Brainstorm opens the safe again, only to realise that the potion now reads, "ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT. Gives one infinite hunger for food. Lasts for 3 meals. Craziness not included.")

Professor Brainstorm: ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT POTION? I'VE BEEN ROBBED! I must sound the alarm to track down the alien Ooze. *activates some Tracker-Bots to search for Ooze*

(However, the three zombies are already aware that Professor Brainstorm has sent Tracker-Bots to search for them. They resorted to hiding and sneaking back to Z-Tech Headquarters out of sight.

The next morning...)

Dr Zomboss: It's morning and I'm going to send out my air attack in an hour! Where are those three miserable little troublemakers?

(Imp, Zombie and Gargantuar enter his office with the solution.)

Dr Zomboss: It's about time you showed up. What's that you got?

Zombie: Sir, it's the solution you ordered. It's called Ooze, an alien. *describes about Ooze's capabilities according to the label*

Dr Zomboss: This alien is the perfect way to make my air raids great again!

Gargantuar: Can we have our pay raise now?

Dr Zomboss: Only if we succeed in our conquest. Now, it's time we initiate "Operation: Alien Ooze" This is one air raid that won't fail! Brains will be ours! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
