Episode
''The episode started in a red, desolate planet, where a meteor from space started to crash land on the surface. The said meteor is where the Plant Heroes were at from where we left off in the previous episode. As the meteor landed, dust and smog started to rise and clear up, revealing a blue force Field surrounding the plants in board. As the force field shuts down, the swarm of astro-shrooms evacuated the space rock.''


 * Wall-Knight: I have to borrow this Force Field from cousin Infi just in case this happens. Too bad he never gets to join us in our adventure.


 * Spudow: Goodbye, space buddies.


 * Solar Flare: OK. Where are we? What planet is this?


 * Grass Knuckles: Red soil, red sky. We are obviously in Mars.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Affirmative. We seem to land on the Red Planet.


 * Solar Flare: I guess we'll call it "The Red Plant-it", eh?


 * Ensign Uproot: Jokes aside, I detected what it seems to be signs of life over there.


 * Green Shadow: Great. We could get ourselves some help in how to get out of here.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Great plan. We may even get info about Huge-Gigantacus' whereabouts.

''The plants started walking aroot on the crimson soil of the said planet. As the walk mound to mound, they eventually encountered a Biodome Botanist who happens to be planting in the ground he just racked.''


 * Green Shadow: Watch out! There's a zombie.


 * Solar Flare: Plants, battle stations.

''Solar Flare sets herself on fire as Green Shadow leapt into the air and landed behind the zombie. Solar Flare then surrounds the zombie with a pillar of flames, followed by Grass Knuckles barraging a furry if fists at him while being held by Green Shadow. Spudow follows them to the scene while tripping numerous times.''


 * Spudow: Guys... Wait... For hurt him... He could help us.


 * Biodome Botanist: Don't attack me. (pow) I'm just a Martian botanist. (pow) I'm not one of them.


 * Grass Knuckles: Like heck we'll believe in that. (punch)


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Abort your offense. This man must be telling the truth. Afterall, what zombie would even plant seeds if he knows they're his enemies?


 * Beta-Carrotina: He's right. We must ask him properly.

''The plants let go of the botanist ad stopped attacking. Spudow used a wet towel to compress his bruises.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: We are so sorry for the earlier intervention. We really thought you were hostile.


 * Biodome Botanist: You must be plants back at Earth? What y'all doin' here?


 * Green Shadow: We were in a mission in stopping a zombie in a space chair from destroying the entire Solar System.


 * Biodome Botanist: Destroy the Sun? That's very cruel if 'em. How can I grow plants without it?


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Anyway, got any information about his whereabouts?


 * Biodome Botanist: No idea what he look like nor where will he be. But hey, how 'bout y'all take a good rest from your space travel.


 * Grass Knuckles: Nah, we're great--


 * Beta-Carrotina: That's excellent. We could get to see what those signs of life are.


 * Green Shadow: Sure, as long as you're all not hostile.


 * Solar Flare: Yay! We're like in a field trip in Mars!

The Biodome Botanist took the plants to up a hill which below it is a huge establishment full of plants and zombies.


 * Biodome Botanist: Welcome to the Red Plant-it.


 * Solar Flare: Hey! That's my pun!


 * Green Shadow: It's like an established infrastructure full o plants and zombies. This is pretty uncommon back at Earth.


 * Biodome Botanist: The main reason why Zomboss had us inhabit Mars is for us to study plants and find ways to repel your kind. But we eventually cut our relations and we became friends with the plants we grown. Our next achievement will be inhabiting the planet for everyone.


 * Beta-Carrotina: That's excelsior!

''The Biodome Botanist toured the plants around the establishment. They first passed to the grounds outside, an area full of potatoes.''


 * Spudow: So many adorable spuds.


 * Solar Flare: How are these potatoes able to sustain such soil different from our planet?


 * Biodome Botanist: Well, with enough TLC and some patience, we are able to grow them into healthy spuds. We also get manure supplies from our bathrooms.


 * Green Shadow: Ew... (I know it's normal, but having it from a zombie seems gross.)


 * Ensign Uproot: I say it is a brilliant agricultural innovation you got there, partner.


 * Biodome Botanist: Well said.

The next section the plants passed by is inside a greenhouse in which the floor is all coffee beans.


 * Biodome Botanist: This is our Coffee Grounds. We basically here to ground the coffee beans for our morning coffee.

Each plants feel the energy given by the coffee beans as their roots stepped on the room.


 * Green Shadow: Woo. Woo-hoo! I... Never had this... so much coffee. It feels so good.


 * Solar Flare: OHMYGOSHTHISROOMISSOOFULLOFENRGYICANFLYALLDAY!!1!1!!1!


 * Grass Knuckles: I feel da POWAH! (punches Wall-Knight which doesn't make effect)


 * Wall-Knight: Take it easy, bro. It's just coffee.

Beta-Carrotina's eyes are now twitching and moving different ways as she stepped into the grounds.


 * Beta-Carrotina: So this is what coffee feels like. I love it. I LOVE IT!

Lieutenant Carrotron and Ensign Uproot both tried to stop Beta-Carrotina as she's rolling around the grounds.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Captain, we should keep it down. Your energy my be completely drained out.


 * Ensign Uproot: We should move you out of the room and calm down.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Never! NEVER!!! I LIVE COFFEE!!!

''The scene cuts to the next room, where there are zombies working on plants and animals of different sorts. The Biodome Botanist and the plants enter the room. Upon exit, Green Shadow starts drinking water after she felt dizzy. Beta-Carrotina was held by his two sidekicks as she fainted with too much coffee. Solar Flare is still very active, while Spudow lift a popcorn bag full of coffee beans and ate them very normally.''


 * Biodome Botanist: Here we are in our Kitchen Laboratory. You can also call it "Kit Lab".


 * Green Shadow: Why Kitchen Lab? Sounds like a horror movie setting to me.


 * Biodome Botanist: It functions as both kitchen and lab. Here we cook and do some genetic experiments.


 * Wall-Knight: What exactly are you experimenting currently?


 * Biodome Botanist: Well, we have come to the conclusion that cows fed with martian grass produce very good milk. And most often some stinky Camembert cheese.


 * Cheese Cutter: I got to say, these cheese are really smelly. And are very hard to cut. (cuts off a slice) OK, nevermind. It only took 45 seconds of cutting time.


 * Biodome Botanist: Have you tried the hammer? Or make it move.


 * Cheese Cutter: That's Cheese Shover's job. I wonder why he isn't here.

While the plants are exploring the lab and the zombies are talking, the same golden imp on a hoverboard is observing them through a glass ceiling if the biodome.

Beta-Carrotina and Green Shadow came across some weird looking red flytraps on several planter boxes.


 * Beta-Carrotina: These are some interesting looking organisms.


 * Green Shadow: So these are products of genetic mutation?


 * Biodome Botanist: Actually, no. Those are native in the planet.


 * Green Shadow: (shocked animation) Say what?!


 * Biodome Botanist: We found these little fellas back at when I was exploring the barren places. They seem to be fine with the condition of the planet.


 * Spudow: Where did you find them? I wanna have one.


 * Biodome Botanist: Oh, they inhabit the northeastern barren plains. Right in front of some strange upright tower of bright purple light that seemed like some sort of sci-fi shinanigans.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: Strange upright tower of bright purple light? You mean a teleportation station?

Everyone in the room falls silent as they looked at Lieutenant Carrotron.


 * Green Shadow: A teleportation station?


 * Beta-Carrotina: That must mean one thing.

''Something dashed and crashed down the glass ceiling. The Iron Boarder smashed it's way inside the biodome as it confronts the plants.''


 * Beta-Carrotina: Iron Boarder!


 * Ensign Uproot: Huge-Gigantacus' scout minion.


 * Iron Boarder: Ahahaha! Master Gigantacus will be pleased to see you, Beta-Carrotina. And by pleased he means pleased to crush you. But he has more businesses to attend. I must get hurry.

The Iron Boarder cruised around the biodome, stealing all the cheese in the room.


 * Cheese Cutter: Hey. My cheese. I was done carving my name in it.


 * Iron Boarder: We'll see you in a different planet in a different sector. Ahahahaha!

''The Iron Boarder left the scene through the whole he made. Green Shadow was about to chase him down but he already got away. But her hawk vision gave her an indication in which where the imp is going. The other plants followed her in the roof.''


 * Biodome Botanist: That was unexpected. So that was the guy you've been looking for?


 * Ensign Uproot: Not close, but still intact to our mission.


 * Green Shadow: The botanist is right. He is approaching the northeastern barren plains. I saw an ominous light streak there.


 * Beta-Carrotina: Let's go and stop Huge-Gigantacus once and for all.


 * Solar Flare: How could we get here to there really fast? We no longer have a rocket ship or other vehicles.


 * Biodome Botanist: We have an unused rover in here. You could make it as your mode of transport.


 * Grass Knuckles: Sweet. Let's ride!

As the plants ride on a seemingly small rover, the weight of the entire team further slowed its already sluggish movement.


 * Grass Knuckles:This looks like some grandpa's golf cart. How can we get this thing faster? (hits the sides if the rover)


 * Beta-Carrotina: Don't worry. My Lightspeed Seeds shall speed up the vehicle.


 * Lieutenant Carrotron: But it will be risky if we used it in the ground, would it?


 * Ensign Uproot: As ling as we get there, it'll be fine.

''Beta-Carrotina pulled our a packet of seeds from her bag and sow the grounds with Lightspeed Seeds. The rover starts to slowly build up speed until it just zoomed very quick that it caused Solar Flare to fall off. Solar Flare resorted in using her powers to catch up with the very fast vehicle.''

''The rover slowly dismantled itself as it wen faster and faster until it broke to pieces. They eventually landed on the barren place full of Mars Flytraps. And the ominous looking tower of projected light is seen in a distance. Just in time for Solar Flare to catch up and getting exhausted.''


 * Solar Flare: Dang it, guys. (catching her breath) I may be a solar flare but I'm not as fast as the sun.


 * Spudow: Here, Sunny. Have some coffee beans.


 * Solar Flare: Thanks, big guy. (grabs coffee beans from the popcorn bag and eats them)


 * Beta-Carrotina: There it is. The Teleportation Station. Huge-Gigantacus must be in it.


 * Wall-Knight: That looks like 2 levitating platforms conjuring a bright prismic glow of rippled realities.


 * Green Shadow: I can see the imp speaking to someone behind the platforms.


 * Grass Knuckles: Great! Let's go kick some grass!

''As the plants rushed to the station, Huge-Gigantacus is seen standing in the platform as he used all the cheese stolen to fuel the machine. Once the plants reached they, they are immediately confronted by Iron Boarder and Huge-Gigantacus.''


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Good day, plants. How was your field trip?


 * Beta-Carrotina: Enough talking, shorty! We're here to hinder your plans once and for all.


 * Green Shadow: How about you use that teleportation device you got there and leave our Solar System alone.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: I am so sorry, but such thing cannot be undone. I made a deal with Dr. Zomboss to have him sent my meteor to the Sun so that I can absorb its powers. Now that you shattered a piece of it to Earth and the Sun, I guess it'll be a few light years for it to reach its destination. I'll be off chasing down something fast. Fast and furious. Something that will only appear for once a year. 74 years for this sector, to be exact.

The machine is started to glow as the teleportation is about to begin.


 * Huge-Gigantacus: Hate to break it to you but its only a matter of light years before this very galaxy becomes mine. Mwahahahahahaha!


 * Beta-Carrotina: (aims her ray gun) You're not getting away from me!

''Huge-Gigantacus and Iron Boarder entered the station and it teleported them away from the planet. With rage, Beta-Carrotina chased then down and she got teleported as well. The other plants followed her as well.''

''In a matter of time, the entire station malfunction and it sucked itself through the rift it created. The Mars Flytraps in the plains get to see how it disappeared.''
