User blog:PeaVZ108/A Galactic Gardens Tale Issue 1 - The Photosynthesizer

If most users can make a story, why can't I? That's why I decided to do something original, mainly starring the Galactic Gardens cards from PvZH. This is the first issue about the PHOTOSYNTHESIZER.

Let me know if you want me to do more. Enjoy reading!

STORY
Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut are always music enthusiasts, and love playing their music. Currently, they are practising for the Annual Suburbian Band Competition, going as the "Spike Rockers".

It is the morning of the day that the competition would be held. They arre rehearsing their song, and they have succeeded playing another round of rehearsals. Peashooter is playing the electric guitar, Sunflower is playing the piano and Wall-nut is playing the drums.

Peashooter: Another rehearsal well-played! Good job, guys!

Sunflower: Thanks, although I could have timed the ending keys a little more accurately.

Wall-nut: Aw, come on, Sunflower! You're looking at the bad side of things, like always!

Peashooter: Yeah, it looks like we deserve a break. We'll rehearse once more after this, alright?

Sunflower: Sure thing.

(The three plants return to their owner's house to have a dose of video games.)

(30 minutes later...)

Sunflower: Well, I feel more confident now. Shall we rehearse again?

Wall-nut: Man, I'd feel the same if I haven't lost that game of Mario Kart to you guys.

Peashooter: Alright, guys. You ready? One...two...THREE!!! Hit it!

(Sunflower starts off by pressing a key on the piano, but no note is played.)

Peashooter: Well, Sunflower? Where's the music?

Sunflower: That's...that's impossible! This piano isn't playing any music!

Peashooter: Don't be ridiculous. *shoves Sunflower aside* Let me try. *presses a different key, but no note is played* Hmm...this is weird indeed. *presses all the keys at once but again, not even one note is played*

Sunflower: Maybe we need to check the cause of this problem.

(The three plants check around the piano, but spot no signs of fault on the piano.)

Wall-nut: Maybe it's broken internally?

Peashooter: You do have a point there. Both of you, we'll lift this piano up. Ready, one, two, three!

(The three plants lift the piano upwards, only to see Spikerock under it.)

Sunflower: Ugh...you got to be kidding me.

Spikerock: Oh, hey guys, sorry to "cut" in. I saw the banner "Spike Rockers", so I thought it sounds like my name and that I should find out what is happening. Turns out, I popped up at the wrong spot.

Sunflower: You owe me BIG TIME!!!

Spikerock: Sorry, okay? I...I'll try to find a way to repay you! I promise!

(Spikerock digs into disappearance.)

Sunflower: Can I trust him, Peashooter?

Peashooter: Don't ask me, he always acts like this when he screws up.

Sunflower: Looks like I have no other choice but to bring this piano for repairs.

(The three plants carry the piano in the direction of the repairs workshop. Just as they step outside their owner's gates, Wall-nut hits his bottom against a strange object.)

Wall-nut: Ow!!! *finds a bruise on his bottom* That's gonna leave a mark.

Peashooter: Put the piano down. Wall-nut, are you okay?

(Peashooter finds a strange keyboard on the pavement.)

Peashooter: Well, this is weird.

Wall-nut: What is this keyboard doing here in the front of our owner's house?

Peashooter: Doesn't matter. This is suspicious indeed. Where did this keyboard come from?

Wall-nut: My thoughts exactly.

Sunflower: Aww, who cares? It's a functional electronic keyboard after all! Besides, this can save us time!

Wall-nut: Hey! That's the first positive thing I heard from you in a long time!

Sunflower: *ignoring Wall-nut* Alright, just let me turn on this thing and...

(The keyboard flashes blinding green light for a moment, forcing the three plants to cover their eyes, before floating in the air.)

Sunflower: Okay...definitely not an ordinary keyboard anymore...

Wall-nut: What should we do, Peashooter? This thing, or monster, might attack us!

Peashooter: Fear not. Let's find out what's happening.

Photosynthesizer: (robotic voice) ''Greetings, plantae. I am the Photosynthesizer, the Keyboard of Life.''

Peashooter: Keyboard of Life? Aren't you a musical instrument?

Photosynthesizer: No. While most keyboards are manufactured to make music, I am manufactured to help.

Wall-nut: Help? How?

Photosynthesizer: ''Each of my keys play a note and a purpose. My job is to help the plantae kingdom. Unfortunately, I am only intended to heal and shield, not to attack. Simply put, I am a pacifist.''

Peashooter: Well, why are you here then?

Photosynthesizer: ''I am supposed to be sent to the L.E.A.F. Headquarters. Looks like I'm at the wrong place. I have to find them.''

Sunflower: Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. We know where it is. If you'd like, we can take you there.

Photosynthesizer: ''Thank you, my friends. Is there anything I can do in return?''

Wall-nut: Well, I have a bruise on my bottom when I bumped into you earlier. Would you mind lending me a leaf?

Photosynthesizer: ''My pleasure. Initiate Heal.'' *plays a note that removes the bruise on Wall-nut's bottom*

Wall-nut: This is fantastic! Thanks to you, I don't need to worry about a scar anymore!

Photosynthesizer: ''Happy to help. Now if you'd excuse me, could you take me to L.E.A.F. Headquarters?''

(At the L.E.A.F. Headquarters)

Green Shadow: Where did this keyboard come from?

Peashooter: Oh, simple. We found it outside our owner's home. It was supposed to be for you.

Photosynthesizer: ''Hello, Green Shadow. I am the Photosynthesizer. ''

Green Shadow: Yeah, I heard you're the Keyboard of Life. Citron told me.

Citron: *eating a pack of fertiliser chips* I know because I study life in planets. *goes back to eating*

Green Shadow: Okay, Photosynthesizer. Who sent you and why are you here?

Photosynthesizer: ''Your friend from Planet Carroturn, Beta-Carrotina, sent me as an assistant to help you out. She was originally going to travel to Earth personally, but she's busy fighting off aliens from different galaxies.''

Green Shadow: Poor Beta-Carrotina. We've been best galactic friends. But why did she sent you here?

Photosynthesizer: ''I come here to send you her message. Huge-Giganticus is coming.''

Citron: Huge-Giganticus? Isn't that Beta-Carrotina's mortal archenemy?

Photosynthesizer: ''Yes, and that is why I come to help you. We don't have much time left, Green Shadow. We must prepare ourselves before he...''

(Suddenly...CRASH!!!)

Photosynthesizer: ...comes...

Huge-Giganticus: Too late, you dumb ol' piano!

Photosynthesizer: I'm a keyboard.

Huge-Giganticus: Whatever.

Sunflower: *gasps* No one talks to the Photosynthesizer like that!

Huge-Giganticus: Alright, losers. Are you all ready to be invaded?

Green Shadow: Do your worst, Huge-Giganticus! You'll never take over Suburbia!

Huge-Giganticus: Oh, I WILL do my worst, Green Shadow. *summons his Terror-Former 10000* Now, you losers, prepare to die...*presses a button that fires lasers*

(Everyone dodges the lasers and retreats to an open beach.)

(20 minutes later...)

Peashooter: That was some machine!

Wall-nut: 20 minutes of running...just hope things don't get worse.

(Huge-Giganticus makes a crash entrance on the beach.)

Wall-nut: I was wrong.

Huge-Giganticus: You call yourselves "heroes"? Wow, this is *sarcastically* so amusing! Absolutely amusing! But now, Suburbia will be under my control! That city behind me? It's finished. And after that, I will proceed with world domination. But first, I will destroy you all so that my job will be easier!

Wall-nut: *singsong tone* Thanks for saying out your entire plaaaaaan!!!

Huge-Giganticus: Mock all you want, you dumb nut. It's not going to change your fate. Goodbye, losers...*charges up lasers*

(The Photosynthesizer intervenes while initiating Shield, thwarting Huge-Giganticus' plan to execute the heroes.)

Photosynthesizer: ''Now's your chance, heroes. Kick Huge-Giganticus out of Earth for good!''

Green Shadow: You heard the keyboard, attack!

(The plant heroes, with the help of the Photosynthesizer's abilities, gain the upper leaf against Huge-Giganticus. However, it did not last long, as Huge-Giganticus quickly studied their moves and soon counter-attacked. All the plant heroes are knocked unconscious. Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut are about to run off to warn everyone, but Huge-Giganticus prevents their escape.)

Huge-Giganticus: Look at your pathetic heroes. Just look at them! They are finished this quickly, and my work is almost finished. Since you're witnessing all this, I might as well finish you three too. *charges lasers again*

Wall-nut: Hey, you!

Huge-Giganticus: What? What is it that you want? More painful deaths?

Wall-nut: "Huge-Giganticus"? *scoffs* Really? You give yourself that big name for someone so small? Talk about a HUGE irony. Even peas are larger than you!

Huge-Giganticus: *furious* WHAT?

Wall-nut: You look like a princess sitting on her throne playing dolls!

Huge-Giganticus: *more furious* WHAT???

Wall-nut: I thought you were a real science person. Is that your only greatest invention? What have you been inventing all these years? Dolls?

Huge-Giganticus: That's it, you big head for a nut! Since you triggered me, you'll die first!

Wall-nut: *sarcastically* Woah, heh-heh. It's just a joke, I'm only kidding, man!

Huge-Giganticus: Oh yeah? A joke? Well, the joke's on you, loser! *fires the lasers*

Photosynthesizer: ''Initiate Reflect Shield. *''plays a note that deflects the lasers back directly at Huge-Giganticus*

(Huge-Giganticus notices the turnaround, but he was too late. He activates an escape pod function that blasts him out of Earth. The Terror-Former 10000 blows up, causing a huge electromagnetic pulse shockwave.)

Peashooter: Everyone! Take cover!

(After the shockwave, the plant heroes wake up to find that Huge-Giganticus is gone.)

Green Shadow: Wha-? Where is he?

Peashooter: Don't worry, Green Shadow. It was the Photosynthesizer that saved the day.

Sunflower: Speaking of the Photosynthesizer, where is it?

Peashooter: *sniffs* Hey, do you all smell something burning?

(Everyone discovers a heavily damaged Photosynthesizer on the beach a few metres away. They run to it, with Sunflower being the first to ask...)

Sunflower: Photosynthesizer, are you...functioning?

Photosynthesizer: ''Barely...though I don't have a lot of time left. Huge-Giganticus' robot has heavily damaged my inner batteries, therefore I am unable to carry on.''

Sunflower: (crying tone) Please, there's gotta be another way! We can find a way to fix you!

Photosynthesizer: I'm afraid it's too late...

Sunflower: You saved our lives, now it's our turn to save yours!

Photosynthesizer: ''No, Sunflower. Leave me be. You must carry on your adventure without me. *to Green Shadow* Hey, Green Shadow.''

Green Shadow: Yes?

Photosynthesizer: Before I completely shut down, I need you to do me a favour.

Green Shadow: Sure thing. What is it?

Photosynthesizer: ''Tell Beta-Carrotina that I have successfully helped to defend Suburbia against Huge-Giganticus. But don't tell her that I am gone. She will be heartbroken. Well, I'm glad that I have fulfilled my purpose to help the plants before I leave. Long live the plantae kingdom! Shutting doooooown...*shuts down*''

(The Photosynthesizer shuts down, and Sunflower was for a moment, crying over the destruction of the Photosynthesizer.)

Green Shadow: I will, Photosynthesizer. I promise.

(Everyone soon disperses back to their respective areas. Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut are walking back to their owner's home.)

Peashooter: Don't worry, Sunflower. The Photosynthesizer will always be here to watch over us. Besides, we have a music rehearsal to play.

Sunflower: What's the point? We don't have a piano, and by the time we repair our old piano, it will be...huh?

(The plants find that Sunflower's old piano is as good as new. It turns out that Spikerock has repaired it while the three plants were gone.)

Spikerock: Hey, Sunflower! I told you I'd pay you back!

Sunflower: Oh my god, thank you! *hugs Spikerock*

Spikerock: What's with Sunflower? I'm pretty confused.

Wall-nut: It's a long story...

Peashooter: I've got an even more brilliant idea! First things first, we'll need tools from the owner's storage room, and then...

(1 hour later...)

Spikerock: Well, I now present, Sunflower's improved piano set! *shows Sunflower's old piano, but the keys are now replaced with the Photosynthesizer*

Sunflower: Will it work? It completely shut down before...

Spikerock: Just turn it on and find out.

Sunflower: Okay, here goes...*switches the Photosynthesizer on*

Photosynthesizer: (different robotic voice) ''Hey there, Sunflower! Let's play some music!''

Sunflower: *amazed* You...you reprogrammed it?

Spikerock: Took a little reconnection of wires to do the trick. Now it can play music at will!

Sunflower: This...is...AWESOME!!! Now we can go for the competition!

Peashooter: But...what about the rehearsal?

Sunflower: Forget the rehearsal! I know we can do this! What are we waiting for? Let's go to the band competition!

Wall-nut: I'm just glad Sunflower is back to her positive self.

(The plants head to the Annual Suburbian Band Competition.)

Host: Ladies and gentleplants! Welcome to the Annual Suburbian Band Competiton! Are you all ready to rock?

(The crowd cheers. After some time, it was the Spike Rockers' turn. There was a huge amount of applause after their performance, so great that the Spike Rockers emerged as champions. The judge, who did not reveal his face, said...)

Judge: That was a fantastic performance! I liked the keyboard music best, as it has the nicest touch and flow to the music that you have played.

(After the competition, Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut decide to find the judge as his comments made them wonder who he actually is.)

Sunflower: Thanks for allowing us to be champions, Mr. Judge.

Peashooter: Yeah, I liked your comments so much, I actually wanted to know who you really are.

Judge: Don't mention it. Also, I will rather not reveal my identity to the public. Come on, let's go home so that I can reveal my identity.

Sunflower: That's not necessary.

Judge: Why's that? Everyone will find out who I am and...

Sunflower: I already know who you are.

Judge: Ah crap, you caught me. *reveals himself to be Spikerock*

Peashooter: SPIKEROCK?

Spikerock: Yes, I was the judge the whole time. I came over to your owner's home this morning actually because I saw "Spike Rockers", which was one of the bands enlisted. So I wanted to see how well you play for your rehearsals while not being spotted myself, but I never got the chance.

Wall-nut: Ah, not very good of a secret agent, are you?

Spikerock: Yes, Wall-nut. I think I'd need to shape up those skills of mine. Now that's everything's cleared, shall we go to Starfruits Cafe to celebrate your victory?

All three plants: YEAH!!!

THE END

Was that a good story? Let me know in the comments!
