This story is made in "celebration" of the Power Plants update for Plants vs. Zombies 2 Popcap, let the game die already, the zombies want it.

Story

 * *Inside the plant base, Magnifying Grass is putting something in some pinatas. Citron walks in on her*
 * Citron:Hey, what are you doing in here this time?
 * Magnifying Grass:Oh, I've decided to find a way to make the weak strong and the strong well...stronger!
 * Citron:Oh, and what is that? Stuffing Plant Food in their face?
 * Magnifying Grass:...no. *takes out a bag* This is full of special energy I found at Zen Peak, and it seems to be able to give a power boost to those who absorb it.
 * Citron:So you stole energy without Zen Cactus' permission?
 * Magnifying Grass:Eh. It seems some crystals just constantly made it, so I just took those.
 * Citron:Point still being...
 * Magnifying Grass:Relax! I'm sure they'll be cool with it!
 * Citron: *turns around* I'm telling my stupid big brother about this.
 * Magnifying Grass: *goes in front of him* Come on! Why does you "try" some and see how you feel?
 * Citron:...I...I guess. *opens the bag and an orange aura surrounds him* Woah! *the energy is "absorbed" into his body* I feel lighter.
 * Magnifying Grass:Hmmm...is that all? *takes out a dummy* Fire at this dummy.
 * Citron:Should be easy enough. Just give me like, 5 seconds. *charges up in under a second, and fires at the dummy, which is then blown up* Woah! I...usually it takes me multiple shots! And more time. What happened?
 * Magnifying Grass:It seems my guess was right! *looks at the pinatas* It seems the energy can power us up! *a piece of Sun suddenly is released from her body*
 * Citron:What the?
 * Magnifying Grass:Oh, I absorbed some energy too. It seems I can make my own sun now. Anyways, *gives Citron a piece of paper* try to find the plants on this list. Tell them to see me.
 * Citron:Let me guess, to "improve" them?
 * Magnifying Grass:Yep!
 * Citron:Ok, fine, I will.
 * *Cue little "montage" with Citron walking around with the list, talking to Bloomerang, Lightning Reed, Stunion, Intensive Carrot, and Snow Pea, and the five go into Magnifying Grass' lab*
 * Stunion: *grunts* What's this about? I got a piano lesson I have to go to in an hour.
 * Intensive Carrot:Yeah, I'm a little confused myself.
 * Magnifying Grass:Hello you guys *looks at Snow Pea and Bloomerang* and girls. I want you guys to "test" something for me. I mean, I already did test it on Citron...
 * Bloomerang:Which one?
 * Magnifying Grass:Which one? You know which one! The one without the sunglasses!
 * Bloomerang:Oh, ok. Good. I don't want to see that guy with any more power. Mate, you don't know what he'd...
 * Magnifying Grass:Enough. Point is, I want to use this energy on you guys.
 * Snow Pea:What energy?
 * Magnifying Grass: *takes out some pinatas* This energy! It's in the pinatas, so get to breaking!
 * Lightning Reed:Got it...gal! *starts bashing the pinata as fast as he can*
 * Stunion: *sigh* Hey, carrot.
 * Intensive Carrot:Uh, yeah? *gets grabbed by Stunion's leaf* Woah! *is used as a "drill" by Stunion to open his own pinata, then throws him back* Ow! Ugh...I'm so dizzy...
 * Stunion:Hey, I can't really open this myself.
 * Snow Pea: *is covered in the energy from their pinata* Huh? Magnifying Grass? What is this?
 * Magnifying Grass:That's normal. It's just you powering up. *another Sun drops from her body* ...excuse me, I need some sun screen. *walks off*
 * Snow Pea:Eh? Powering me up? I don't think...*Lightning Reed shocks her with his powered up lightning* YOW!!!
 * Lightning Reed:Ha ha! *gets hit by one of Snow Pea's icy peas, which ends up freezing him*
 * Snow Pea:Yeep! I...sorry! *walks closer* Shoot. He's actually frozen.
 * Bloomerang:Allow me mate! *taps the ice block with one of their boomerang petals, and it breaks the ice open* There.
 * Lightning Reed:Well...that was more shocking than I expected.
 * Intensive Carrot:But, what happened?
 * Lightning Reed:Let's go to battle to find out!
 * Stunion: *moans* I'm going to be late to my piano lesson you jerks!
 * Snow Pea:You don't have to come.
 * Stunion:I have to basically. I'd be a jerk not to.
 * Bloomerang:Yeah. Let's go. *all of them walk out*
 * *Magnifying Grass walks back into the room*
 * Magnifying Grass:Ok guys, how did that...*looks around* uh...guys? Shoot! They left! They were supposed to wait until I...*sigh* great. Now the zombies are going to find out, aren't day? *another Sun pops out from her* AND I PUT SUNSCREEN ON TOO!
 * *Cut to outside Crazy Dave's house, where the powered up plants are waiting*
 * Lightning Reed:Let's annoy the zombies over.
 * Snow Pea:How?
 * Lightning Reed:Hey! Stunion! Play some piano music!
 * Stunion:Are you trying to say something about my music?
 * Lightning Reed:Of course not! It just seems they show up when they hear a piano.
 * Stunion:...*sighs* fine. *starts playing on a nearby piano*
 * Intensive Carrot: *leans over to Bloomerang* Sorry if this sounds weird, but can you let the zombies eat you? My ability does only activate when...
 * Bloomerang:Yeah mate, I know what you mean. Yeah, I'll...
 * Pianist Zombie: *being wheeled over on his piano* Another piano! What is this madness? There's room for only one piano player here, and that's me!
 * Stunion: *does his "stun" as Pianist Zombie is ranting* Shut it. *notices that they look a little poisoned* Wait, what the? Is Shadow-shroom around here?
 * Snow Pea: *looks around* Uh...no? Why?
 * Stunion:I swear, that zombie is poisoned, and I didn't do that.
 * Bloomerang:You saw that Magnifying Grass started releasing sun, didn't ya? The energy must've made it so you could poison those zombies!
 * Stunion:Seriously? And uh...need some help?
 * Bloomerang:What do you mean?
 * Stunion:You're surrounded by like, 15 zombies.
 * Bloomerang:Yeah, I know. I'm letting Intensive Carrot revive me.
 * Lightning Reed:That's...weird. *sees Bloomerang get eaten and shiver* Ugh...ok. I'm zapping those zombies then leaving. *zaps all 15 zombies and destroys them in one shot* Great! Ok, I'm going back in. *walks in the house*
 * Intensive Carrot:Uh...bye! *looks at the ground where Bloomerang was* And as for you...*drills himself into the hole, and Bloomerang is "revived"*
 * Bloomerang: *yawn* Ok, how long was it since I was...wait. Hold on. *jumps up* Am I robot? I feel like iron! No...if I was a robot, my voice would sound like "beep boop! I am robot!" And...*gets frozen by Snow Pea*
 * Snow Pea:I like this. I can shut anyone I want up.
 * Stunion:...*walks away slowly*
 * Snow Pea:Uh...not like that! But *looks both ways* where did that Pianist Zombie go?
 * Bloomerang: *from the ice* Probably get defeated by the poison.
 * Snow Pea: *looks at Bloomerang* Oh, you can still talk. I'll break you out of there.
 * *Cut to the zombie's base, where Pianist Zombie is pushing his piano, though somewhat struggling to do so*
 * Pianist Zombie: *deep breathing* Ugh...what the heck? It was smellier than normal!
 * Conehead Cowboy:What was it? *sees how tattered Pianist Zombie is* Why I'll be a desert bird on a Cactus! What happened you you?
 * Pianist Zombie:A few normal Zombies and I tried to invade...I swear...the Snow Pea was freezing zombies...the Lightning Reed was destroying many zombies in a single zap and the Stunion...ugh...the Stunion...he...he poisoned me with his breath!
 * Conehead Cowboy:Impossible! They can't do that!
 * Pianist Zombie:But I saw it sheriff! I saw it with my own two eyes!
 * Conehead Cowboy:Well, we'll have to report it to the...
 * Scientist: *standing the the corner* I heard you.
 * Conehead Cowboy:Great! So, you'll do something right?
 * Scientist:Well...I was planning on doing a little upgrading to our troops.
 * Pianist Zombie:Really sir?
 * Scientist:Of course. The basic "turf" war always ends the same. A failed assault. So, I'm going to change things!
 * Conehead Cowboy:Like what?
 * Scientist:You'll see! *whistles and opens the door near him* Come on out boys!
 * *A few zombies walk out of the door, which are a Zombie wearing some bricks on his head, Newspaper Zombie with a yeti magazine and Explorer Zombie with his clothes a bit on fire*
 * Scientist:I've decided to make them stronger! ...or at least, more dangerous.
 * Explorer Zombie:WHY ARE MY CLOTHES ON FIRE?!?!
 * Newspaper Zombie:You know, this is interesting.
 * Brick Zombie: *MFFFFFF*
 * Conehead Cowboy: *leans over to Scientist* I don't think they like it.
 * Scientist:Got any smart ideas then?
 * Conehead Cowboy:...*puts his hand out* give the sheriff a gun? *gets slapped by Scientist* Ow!
 * Scientist:...fine. Though I'll be just the average old paintball gun.
 * Conehead Cowboy:YEAH!
 * Brick Zombie: *MFFF!* *aims towards his head*
 * Explorer Zombie:What's wrong?
 * Newspaper Zombie: *still reading the magazine* Probably nothing major. Hey, did you know a Yeti's favorite sandwich is Roast Beef and Cheese?
 * Scientist: *holding the paintball gun in his hand* ...just get going.
 * *Cut to Snow Pea and Bloomerang lying on the lawn*
 * Snow Pea:...this is getting boring.
 * Bloomerang:What do you mean?
 * Snow Pea:Look at all these zombies statues *behind her, there's 30 frozen zombies* I want a challenge.
 * Bloomerang:Well...there's only a little chance for them to freeze!
 * Snow Pea:Still.
 * *Magnifying Grass storms out, with Bonk Choy and Citron following her*
 * Magnifying Grass:YOU GALS! YOU MADE YOUR POWER-UP PUBLIC?
 * Snow Pea:Yeah?
 * Magnifying Grass:Now the zombies are going to do something about it!
 * Bloomerang:Already? Mate. Calm down. Nothing can go wrong!
 * Bonk Choy:And...we're dead.
 * Bloomerang:Eh?
 * Bonk Choy:That's the unlucky word. I learned that from a kid.
 * Citron:Why are you so...*just barely avoids a torch* what the? *they all look and see Conehead Cowboy, Newspaper Zombie, Explorer Zombie and the "Brick" Zombie* ...oh.
 * Conehead Cowboy:The sheriff is here to make an arrest. For steroids!
 * Snow Pea:We didn't use...*gets burnt up by a torch*
 * Explorer Zombie:Nothing personal by the way!
 * Bonk Choy:...alright. Let's go!
 * *All of them start fighting*
 * *Meanwhile, through the window, Peashooter is watching the battle with a child*
 * Peashooter:Wow. This is what the war has turned into. Using zen energy and setting their own troops on fire.
 * ???:At least we don't do that.
 * Peashooter:We're doing that first thing...
 * ???:Oh, they are? Aw...I wanted to think of something to power you guys up!
 * Peashooter:Trust me kid. I know you saw your future, but it doesn't mean you'll be smart in a blink of an eye. You need to study and learn.
 * ???:I know. But do you think I'll ever be able to help you guys?
 * Peashooter:You already did. Your future self saved the present, and you've helped us a fair share of times as well.
 * ???:I guess so. But, if this war ends before it's supposed to...
 * Peashooter:Yeep! Y...you're right! Kid! Can you make a vacuum? Stronger than most?
 * ???:Maybe.
 * Peashooter:Good, I need you to do that, so we can get rid of that energy before a paradox happens. And use your "Timely" wisely.
 * ???: *giggles slightly* Yeah, ok. *walks away while talking to himself* Man, those plants talking is so cool! Why do so many of them remain silent?
 * *A few hours later, the battle is still continuing*
 * Conehead Cowboy:...is it just me, or is this taking forever?
 * Bloomerang:We keep respawning mate. So...there's that. You just aren't going down.
 * Newspaper Zombie: *sitting down and reading the magazine* Well, this is made of metal for starters.
 * Magnifying Grass:What? Citron! FIRE!
 * Citron: *snoring*
 * Magnifying Grass:...fine. I'll fire on my own! *fires rapidly on the magazine, and it does nothing, all while Newspaper Zombie is whistling* ...oh forget this. *fires at the other zombies, making them all hit a tree*
 * The Tree: *glares at all of them* Do you mind?
 * Magnifying Grass:Uh...sorry. Anyways. *breaks open a few more pinatas, and absorbs the energy* I'll just use up all the energy and I'll end this war right here and...
 * *A door is suddenly slammed open*
 * Magnifying Grass:Eh?
 * Peashooter: *holding the vacuum* ONE CLEAN UP, COMING THROUGH!
 * Snow Pea: *puts her mouth on the vacuum* Oh! Me first! I don't want to freeze zombies anymore!
 * Peashooter:You already know that...
 * Snow Pea:Oh, I just assumed.
 * Peashooter:...well. You're right! *takes the energy out of Snow Pea*
 * Magnifying Grass:Yeep! Peashooter! Wait! I just need to handle these zombies! Then I'll stop! That's all! Heh heh...
 * Peashooter:I'm not risking a paradox!
 * Magnifying Grass:I'm trying to help! So simply put, don't...*gets shot by Conehead Cowboy and falls down*
 * Peashooter:Huh?!?!
 * Conehead Cowboy: *grabs Magnifying Grass* Hmmm...let's see what happens if I absorb this energy! *bites on Magnifying Grass, but not hard enough to defeat her, simply absorbing her energy*
 * Peashooter: *drops the vacuum* ...
 * ???: *shouting from inside the house* I DON'T THINK WE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH!
 * Peashooter:Yeah, thanks for reminding me. *looks at Bloomerang* ANY TIME!
 * Bloomerang:Mate, I've been firing at him for a while now. Nothing is working!
 * Peashooter:What do you mean nothing is working? *gets bitten a few times and looks around* What the?
 * Conehead Cowboy: *jumps on the Tree and throws the paintball gun on the ground* I don't need a gun anymore. This sheriff has the speed of a cheetah, the bite of a tiger and the strength of...uh...a zombie! Now try to beat me! I dare ya! *his cone grows and lets it stay on him as armor with two little eye holes* I'll arrest of you for this!
 * Peashooter:You're the one cheating!
 * Conehead Cowboy:Cheating? I'm not the one who made it! *runs over to Peashooter, who just barely manages to avoid him...but he runs directly into the house*
 * Peashooter:Oh come on!
 * Conehead Cowboy: *muffled giggling from the cone* Alright kid! I heard ya!
 * ???: *from under a table* No you didn't! *quickly covers their mouth* Stupid!
 * Conehead Cowboy:Heh. Got ya! *walks closer until they hear a cough* What the? *looks behind them to see Escape Root with a young girl* M...more meals...heh heh...
 * ???:Uh...*looks around, and sees the boy under the table* Nate? What is going on here?
 * Nate:Uh...Patrice! Funny story! Not that I know much of it...
 * Patrice:Why is that zombie wearing the dumbest thing I've seen?
 * Conehead Cowboy: *sort of muffled from the cone* HEY! KID! WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING HUH? I'M THE GOD OF THIS WORLD NOW! SO BOW DOWN BEFORE THE SHERIFF OR...
 * Escape Root: *taps Conehead Cowboy* Heh. You need to calm down. *plops down a few Grapeshots around him* How about these help?
 * Conehead Cowboy: *as they're starting to explode* Oh you...*gets blown up by the Grapeshots, and falls down*
 * Escape Root:I actually wasn't expecting that to work.
 * Bloomerang: *running in and firing boomerangs* TAKE THIS YOU...*looks at the knocked out Conehead Cowboy* oh. You dealt with him already. Well, Peashooter?
 * Peashooter: *has the vacuum* Right. *takes the energy out of Conehead Cowboy's body* And that should be it. *the phone rings* Ugh. Excuse me. *answers the phone* Hello?
 * Dr. Zomboss: *from the other side of the phone* Hey, I heard about the madness going on today. And so uh, how do I state this? Don't do that "leveling up" thing. Ok?
 * Peashooter:Yeah. And I'm still planning on a war that'll last until the Far Future.
 * Dr. Zomboss: *from the phone* Good. And send that "sheriff" back to me ok? I need to teach him a lesson.
 * Peashooter: *sees some plants pulling Conehead Cowboy out of the house* Yeah, already on it. But uh...about those other zombies, like the bricked one?
 * Dr. Zomboss: *from the phone* Yeah?
 * Peashooter: *does a smile with his snout* Keep them. I want a new challenge.
 * Dr. Zomboss: *from the phone* Of course. Heh. *hangs out*
 * Nate:Uh...we're enemies right? Why did you two sound so casual?
 * Peashooter:It's called being polite kid.
 * *Magnifying Grass walks in weakly*
 * Magnifying Grass:Ugh...why did you...do that...?
 * Peashooter:Sorry Magnifying Grass, but, that energy. It's dangerous. If we end this war too early, a paradox will happen. You guys will never become part of our group, and when that happens, you'd never make the boosting energy, which means winning the war would never happen and...how didn't you see that?
 * Magnifying Grass:I...sorry...I only want to help.
 * Peashooter:Well, I think I know how.
 * Magnifying Grass:Really?
 * Peashooter:Yep. *leans over and whispers to her "Do what you did, but not as strong, and see that kid?", pointing towards Nate Timely*
 * Magnifying Grass: *whispers back "Yeah"?*
 * Peashooter: *whispers to her "I want you to make sure he gets a good education, if he's as good as that bio from the future says he'll be, we need to make sure he's trained, but make sure he has fun too. And don't forget the girl."*
 * Magnifying Grass: *shakes her head yes and whispers back "Of course sir."
 * *Both walk off*
 * Nate:...am I the only one who feels awkward?
 * Bloomerang:Nope mate, I feel awkward too. Like, "who would even make a story of this sort of eventful event" kind of awkward. *looks outside the window to see Headstone Carver* Oh...
 * *End*

Trivia/Notes

 * This is personally my "least favorite" made story right now. It's not bad, but I just feel like it ended too awkwardly, but I didn't have many ideas.
 * The plants that got "powered up" (Citron, Magnifying Grass, Bloomerang, Lightning Reed, Stunion, Intensive Carrot, and Snow Pea) are all either "weak" plants in-game (Citron, Bloomerang, and Lightning Reed) or plants that got a major boost or change to their abilities (Magnifying Grass, Stunion, Intensive Carrot and Snow Pea.)
 * I've honestly wanted to include Conehead Cowboy and the "comic kids" for a while now. There might be more of them in another story.
 * The zombies mentioned as "powered up" by Scientist (Explorer Zombie on fire, Newspaper Zombie with a yeti magazine and a Zombie with bricks on), are all zombies shown on a "preview" that can appear when currently opening PvZ2 up.
 * The ending implies that the story was written by Headstone Carver, who is a writer on the side.
 * Yes, that does also imply he somehow managed to spy on the plants and zombies, or at least, saw certain parts. He always wants a good story.

Did you read this sort of terrible story? (Level Up) Yep Wait, who are these kids?
