Episode
''The denizens of Suburbia gathered around the carrot ship with the 2 strangers from another world. The heroes are trying to get a way through the crowd.''


 * Green Shadow: Excuse us. We need to see the... strangers.


 * Grass Knuckles: Hey, let us through. We're L.E.A.F. and we want to speak to those carrots.


 * Spudow: Kindly give a way for my friends, fellas.

''Once the heroes reached to the front view of the carrot ship, they saw some of the plants greeting the strangers.


 * Ensign Uproot: Greetings, earthling. What specie of flora are you?


 * Sweet Pea: Hello, sir alien. I am a Sweet Pea. I spit candies, which are like peas, sometimes a weapons sometimes a seed, but a lot sweeter. May you take one piece for experimentation?


 * Ensign Uproot: We don't really do stuff like that here but thanks.

The Sweet Pea spit a candy for the two carrots.


 * Sweet Pea: Sweet!

''Among the crowd, a speedy stream of flames seem to jet through. She immediately went in front of the carrots.and excitedly shake their leaves.''


 * Solar Flare: Greetings! Greetings alien carrots! My name is Sunshine, but you can call me Solar Flare. Ohoo, this is fun! Would you mind if I tour you around and show you what the Earthlings do?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Sure. But we came here to speak with the Plant Heroes of L.E.A.F..


 * Grass Knuckles: Green?


 * Green Shadow: I got this.

''Green Shadow used a table cloth that somehow she brought with her and then she covers herself with it. The table cloth started to glow green inside. Green Shadow then switched her semi-civilian attire with her cloak. She then approached the carrots.''


 * Green Shadow: Greetings, carrots form another world. I am Green Shadow, leader of the Plant Heroes of L.E.A.F..


 * Solar Flare: Oh, hi Greeny. I was about to tell these carrots that I am also a hero. See?

''Solar Flare wears her goggles, setting herself on fire. This comes to a shock for the carrots.''


 * Ensign Carrot: That is some strange mutation you got yourself there.


 * Solar Flare: Thank you. Also, Greeny here shall be the one talking to you because she's kinda good at it.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Actually, we are not he ones who are suppose to talk to her. Our captain will be the one to see you.

''The two carrots each set themselves to the sides of the ramp as the door of the ship opens and another carrot emerged from there. The two carrots then saluted, and Solar Flare does it too.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: Greetings, Green Shadow. I am Beta-Carrotina. Leader of the Plant-etary Guards. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Beta-Carrotina then shake Green Shadow's leaf.


 * Green Shadow: Pleasure to meet you as well, Beta. Bow, what is it you want to talk about?


 * Beta-Carrotina: Well, I would love to say it right now, but I don't want to make anyone panic so... how about a private talk.

''A brief silence echoed throughout the scene for a while. Grass Knuckles and Spudow then started making the crowd leave.''


 * Green Shadow: OK. You heard the gal. Clear the crowd. Get back to your places. Move. Move.


 * Spudow: Please move along. We need a private talk with the visitors. This is hero stuff.


 * Green Shadow: Actually, I know a place where we could talk about this.

''The plants went to Crazy Dave's house, just next to the Homeowner's House. They went to the backyard in which Green Shadow touch a tree trunk, causing it to unfurl a ladder leading to the L.E.A.F. hideout on top of the tree.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: Wow. Your base looks pretty neat.


 * Ensign Uproot: (touching a water dispenser) Interesting tech you got here.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: (approaches a map of Suburbia and Zomburbia) So you are in some sort of war with the undead as well?


 * Solar Flare: Yes we do. Don't you guys have wars between the zombies in your planet as well?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Actually, there are no zombies on our planet. Only sentient root crops. We do are involved in celestial battles all across the Andromeda Sector against zombies and weeds. Yes, weeds.


 * Ensign Uproot: (playing with a fidget spinner) Interesting tech here. Is this some kind of spying drone or thrown weapon?


 * Grass Knuckles: It's called a fidget spinner. It's a toy used by us to avoid boredom.


 * Ensign Uproot: A leisuring tool? That's well crafted!

Green Shadow and Beta-Carrotina are sitting in front if each other in the meeting table in which they discussed about their lives.


 * Green Shadow: It's a really hard job being a student and a crime-fighting vigilante all at the same time. I really have to keep this mask if ever I want to remain Green Shadow and not my civilian self. So far, only Solar Flare knew my identity.


 * Beta-Carrotina: That's a really good story of yours. So, why are you fighting against crime at the first place? What inspired you to do so?


 * Green Shadow: Well, it's kind of a long story. After I was hit by the Hero-Tron, I kinda disappeared for over a weak and my parents are worried sick about me. When I realized that my disappearance was actually my invisibility power's doing, I started to use these in fighting crime. I then returned to my family and homeowner as this Green Shadow and then I fought the zombies who are attacking them. The next morning, I snuck to my bedroom and there my family saw me safe and sound. I then lied to them by saying that Green Shadow saved me. And ever since then, I and sworn to protect those I loved even if my identity is an enigma. How about you, do you have someone you want to protect? Do you have a family?


 * Beta-Carrotina: Actually, unlike the other roots in the planet, I didn't have a proper loving family. I was born and raised in a colony of... let's say these are primodial carrot being who are very animalistic and cruel. Yeah, I was one of them. Alpha-Carrotina then saved me from a weed attack and they gave me these techs in which I used to slay my birth mother, the queen of the colony. Alpha-Carrotina was like a good mother for me, but sadly she was killed by Huge-Gigantacus after she risked her life protecting the inhabitants of Carotene while I and the Galactic Foliage tried to stop Huge-Gigantacus from destroying half of the planet. It was... a very depressing moment.

Beta-Carrotina took off her helmet as she started to shed tears after talking about her past.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Ever since then, I started to wear her helmet and continued her legacy. And so, after that I sworn myself to stop Huge-Gigantacus from being able to destroy the galaxy. That includes your planet and your Sun. That's what I want to talk about.


 * Green Shadow: OK, L.E.A.F.. settle down at the meeting table.

And so, the plants all gather round on the meeting table and talk about Beta-Carrotina's intentions.


 * Green Shadow: So who is this Huge-Gigantacus?


 * Beta-Carrotina: He's a primodial entity of destruction who seeks to rule over the whole galaxy and change it according to his liking.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: His recent incarnation is an imp on a space hoverchair. He us currently settled 2.74 light years away from Earth and with a meteor we addressed as Z.


 * Ensign Uproot: Meteor Z carried some power signatures of Huge-Gigantacus' previous incarnations, which means the meteor is linked to him.


 * Beta-Carrotina: We must prevent this meteor for ever crashing down your planet or it will cause a me real damage. It can transform your zombies into horrible mutants that could pose a threat.


 * Grass Knuckles: So that's it? You want us to help you destroy a giant space rock?


 * Ensign Uproot: Yeah. That's kind of a bland plan you have there, lieutenant.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Actually, we will set off to defeat Huge-Gigantacus all together. This is for the safety of your planet.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: First, we must redirect Meteor Z away from the planet to avoid catastrophic damages. Then, together, we must track down Huge-Gigantacus and defeat them once and for all.


 * Green Shadow: Then where would we throw away the meteor? If it collides to a different planet, damages will still be fatal, right?


 * Solar Flare: What about the sun?


 * Grass Knuckles: The Sun?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Negative! If we redirect it to the Sun, then Gigantacus' powers will absorb it and become powerful, Killin the Sun and your planet.


 * Solar Flare: OK. That was a pretty bad idea.


 * Ensign Uproot: But what about the other bodies? Halley and the Medulla Nebulla?


 * Spudow: We must stop big space rock from hitting us first before we head on to Huge-Gigaman.


 * Beta-Carrotina: The fuzzy potato is right. We must either destroy the meteor or redirect it to a different direction to avoid collateral damage.


 * Green Shadow: Nice plan. Buy I might need to contact my other colleagues to aid us in this mission. For the good of the planet and the galaxy.

The plants gathering around the table then stood up and to their hands placed in the middle of the circle.


 * Green Shadow: OK, guys. On three. One, two, three...


 * All Plants: L.E.A.F. and the Plant-etary Guards, rooting for a cause!!!

''The scene then cuts back to the Moon Base Z a few hours ago. Dr. Zomboss is watching a news report about the arrival of the Plant-etary Guards in Earth.''


 * The Reporter: This just in, a strange rocket ship in a shape of a carrot just mysteriously landed on the streets on Suburbia.

A Melon-pult in the background angrily tossed a melon at the reporter, causing him to look back at him.


 * Melon-pult: Hey, what are you zombies doing here? Making another biased propaganda?


 * The Reporter: Can you please don't mind us, we're trying to make an equally good story. And no, we are not bias.


 * Melon-pult: Get out of here!

The Melon-pult threw another melon at the reporter, causing the report to cut briefly before returning to normal.


 * The Reporter: OK. Back to the news. We are live in Suburbia where what it seems like alien carrots have talks with the Plant Heroes of L.E.A.F..

The screen then shows a shot where Green Shadow and Beta-Carrotina are shaking leaves.


 * Dr. Zomboss: This is not good.

Huge-Gigantacus once again popped out from the big screen behind Dr. Zomboss, causing him to jump by surprise.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Tell me, Dr. Zomboss, who is this L.E.A.F.?


 * Dr. Zomboss: A team of Plant Heroes who are always foiling my plans.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Interesting. Our common enemies are joining forces to defeat me? It would be a shame when Terror-Former 5000 will crumble that little pile of rubble to tiny smithereens.


 * Dr. Zomboss: Mr. Gigantacus, we talked about this. Please don't destroy Earth because if I can help you get rid of them, you'll give me a planet with only us in it. No more plants! The whole Earth shall be mine.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Indeed. Indeed. I have to take the powers of the Sun first before I do destroy plant life on Earth. Also, do you know someone who can whack out these weeds?


 * Dr. Zomboss: Exactly, Mr. Gigantacus. I just happen to talk about that last time.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Good. Now if you excuse me I have a sector to conquer.

''Huge-Gigantacus then cuts off his video call. Dr. Zomboss turned off the news and went ahead to a single button with a skull icon. He pressed it, allowing him to call someone in the other line.''

''In the other line, a reporter just went out from his duty and in a lunch break, heard a ringing on his watch. He immediately went to the men's room and answered the call.''


 * The Reporter: Dr. Zomboss, is that you? Did you see the news?


 * Dr. Zomboss: Of course I did, doofus. Now, I have some news for you to send to all of the Zombie Heroes. Assemble now at Moon Base Z. I have a mission for you. Subject: Beta-Carrotina.

Trivia

 * The following Galactic Gardens cards are featured in this episode: Sweet Pea (PvZH) and Melon-Pult (PvZH).
 * The reason why Solar Flare knew Green Shadow's true identity is because they were classmates, and Sunshine somehow found out after she found her at the locker room changing.
 * Beta-Carrotina got her name after her mother role/commander died. She took the name Beta as she follows Alpha-Carrotina's footstep. Get it? Alpha and Beta?
