User blog:Lily8763cp/PvZ: GW Saga Part 17 - Secrets in the Sewers

I didn't have time gotten addicted to CPR, send help if you wish. to make one for a bit, but now here I am with a new part of the GW saga. I think we're nearing the end.  Yes, even I don't know when this will end.

"Episode"
Foot Soldier:...eh...I...got over that. Let's...*sees Gnomus, floating on his hover chair, and a few other Gnomes in front of him* what the...
 * *Scientist stomps into his lab, looking really angry. He kicks at a table, before placing his head against the wall, he sighs*
 * Scientist:I...I feared this would happen eventually but...*groans* I shouldn't be like this, it isn't that much but still. That meeting was awful.
 * *Flashback to a few hours prior, where Dr. Zomboss is sitting in a room with Scientist*
 * Dr. Zomboss:Scientist. You know why I brought you here, right?
 * Scientist:It's about the destruction of that HQ, isn't it? I have already sent our best Engineers to rebuild it, with top...
 * Dr. Zomboss:Let me stop you right there.
 * Scientist:Huh?
 * Dr. Zomboss:I'll just say this now. I've had enough. I've had enough of you failing. You keep telling me "oh, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again!" and I believe you. Then...*suddenly gets up from his chair and slams on the table* THEN YOU FAIL AGAIN!
 * Scientist: *looking worried* S...sir! You don't get it! I try! Somehow, somehow it seems like they always win but we've won a few times before! I don't know why you're upset!
 * Dr. Zomboss:Foot Soldier has won more times than you! So I was thinking...
 * Scientist:You wouldn't.
 * Dr. Zomboss:Wouldn't do what? Switch Foot Soldier and your ranks?
 * Scientist:That.
 * Dr. Zomboss:Well, it seems he's more competent that you are, so that's what I'm doing.
 * Scientist: *gets out of his chair* WHAT?!?!?
 * Dr. Zomboss:Relax, it's just one rank down. I could bring you to like, 15th in charge if I was really cruel. But unlike most zombies, I like you, so it's just this for now.
 * Scientist:O...ok sir...*leaves the room
 * *End of flashback*
 * Scientist:H...he's right, I shouldn't overreact. But at the same time, even if it's just one rank, I still got demoted! I still managed to mess up enough to get demoted just once! If I keep doing that, eventually I'll...*shivers* I'll have to sleep with plain old Browncoats and be striped of my lab! Oh my gosh, that'd be terrible. *hears knocking* Huh, who's there?
 * Sanitation Expert: *opens the door* Hello there sir. I...
 * Scientist:If you want to say something, say it to Foot Soldier, he's a higher rank than me.
 * Sanitation Expert:The thing is that I can't do that.
 * Scientsit:Why not? Why can you tell me and not him?
 * Sanitation Expert:You see, I was trying to go into the sewers, and do my job of cleaning it, but then Foot Soldier of all people seemed to be panicking, and told me to wait until tomorrow. I think he's involved in something fishy.
 * Scientist:Foot Soldier? Involved in something fishy? He's the kind of person who I'd have my doubts to being a part of some shady business.
 * Sanitation Expert:You're a higher rank than me, can you just please check?
 * Scientist:Ok ok, I have nothing better to do. *leaves his lab, with Sanitation Expert leaving with him*
 * *A few hours later, Scientist is standing outside the sewers*
 * Scientist:Ok. Here we are. *looks behind him* You got the weapons in case there's plants in there?
 * All-Star: *walking over with a ton of Imp Punts in his arms* Yep!
 * Scientist: *gives a thumbs up* Good. Keep those and be quiet.
 * All-Star:S...Scientist...I doubt I can do both at once.
 * Scientist:I gave you a bag for a reason.
 * All-Star:Oh! *takes the bag out and throws all the Imp Punts in the bag* Now I'm ready!
 * Scientist:That's good. Now, following me.
 * *The two begin to sneak through the sewers, it doesn't take long until they notice a gnome giving some zombies certain items*
 * Rux:Pleasure doing business with you. *a Cozmic Brainz walks over* What do you want?
 * Cozmic Brainz:Learn how to guide my ultra ball. I heard you have tickets for a friend who can teach me?
 * Rux:Yes. That'll be 5 brains, or $500. *Cozmic Brainz gives him the 5 brains, then Rux gives them the ticket and shakes their hand* Pleasure doing business with you. *the Cozmic Brainz leaves*
 * Scientist:What the? How didn't we... *All-Star taps on him* what?
 * Al-Star:Scientist? You might want to see this...
 * Scientist:See wha...*turns around to see multiple set up "shops" with zombies running each of them. Most are selling "human" goods, with zombies giving them brains in return* It's...it's like a whole black market!
 * All-Star:Yeah. And we only found this out now? How?
 * Scientist:...easy, somebody helped cover this up. *looks over at All-Star* I hate to say this, especially because I'm sure the boss would think I'm just trying to get my rank back but...I think that person is Foot Soldier.
 * All-Star:Why would he do that?!?!?
 * Scientist:Beats me. *they look down and see Foot Soldier walking towards one of the shops* Speak of the devil.
 * Foot Soldier: *talking to the shop's owner* Hey, what do you have today?
 * Captain Squawk: *has a seagull standing on the barrel near it* Matey, on my trip, I got 3 human movies "Space Wars", "Idiot and Somehow Worse", and "The Car". Me seagull also got a giant key. Seeing that key hole by the end of the sewer, I think this goes with that.
 * Foot Soldier:Hmmm...I like the sound of that. I'll take all of it. Movie night is tomorrow. *gives Captain Squawk 5 brains* There you go.
 * Captain Squawk:Arrr...thank ye matey. *puts the movies in a sack, and gives them over to Foot Soldier* There you go.
 * Foot Soldier:Thanks. *turns around and leaves. He looks at his sack, then looks at the key* Hmmm...you know, I should show Scientist this key. How do I say I got it though? I mean...*bumps into Scientist* !!! How did you...
 * Scientist:...so. You bought human things from a black market?
 * Foot Soldier:Hey! It's not my fault that human stuff are better!
 * Scientist:Oh, and why is that?
 * Foot Soldier:Unlike zombie stuff, there's no propaganda in it!
 * Scientist:Oh I'm sure there is. Now give those to me so I can get rid of them!
 * Foot Soldier: *holding onto them* No way! *gets the key grabbed by Scientist* Hey!
 * Scientist:Then I take the key!
 * Foot Soldier:Give that back!
 * Scientist:No! *Foot Soldier grabs on it too, and both start to tug at it*
 * All-Star:Guys! Stop! You'll...*they both lose their grip on the key, and it falls into the sewer water* ...
 * Scientist:...
 * Foot Soldier:...that costed me two brains...
 * Scientist:Well too bad!
 * Foot Soldier:Too bad? You do know I'm of higher rank than you now, respect me!
 * Scientist:Well you're going into shady business that the boss will be angry at! And...
 * All-Star:Not another fight. You want to know why you were fired Scientist? Because other than your failures, you have that temper!
 * Scientist:It's not a temper, it's me being angry when anyone goes against us zombies!
 * All-Star:I'm sure with people like you, no offense, there's a good reason. Now, I'm going to report this black market, but not mention who's in it. If you really want Foot Soldier, you can warn them to leave. *both All-Star and Foot Soldier leave, leaving Scientist by himself*
 * Scientist:N...no, wait! *both are already gone* ...*sighs* great. *looks at the key in the water, and notices a snorkel poking out of the water* Huh?
 * *A Gnome grabs the key, then swims out of the water. They then join three other gnomes in holding the key, and they run off*
 * Scientist:What are they...wait. "Seeing that key hole by the end of the sewer, I think this goes with that." I need to check the end of the sewers! Though...I...I guess I have to do it by myself. *runs towards where the gnomes were heading*
 * *Meanwhile, outside the sewers*
 * All-Star: *starting to take the Imp Punts out of the sack* I'm a team player, but I still can barely believe that we keep it together with that guy.
 * Foot Soldier:I get why he does it. He was one of the very first zombies, and besides, with all the propaganda, most zombies are "brainwashed".
 * All-Star:You have been acting differently since that one base was destroyed, what happened?
 * Foot Soldier:...stuff.
 * All-Star:What sort of stuff?
 * Foot Soldier:Well...I...ok, I'll tell you. *tells All-Star the event that he was able to recall*
 * All-Star:Oh wow! How did you do that?
 * Foot Soldier:Head trauma. Don't recommend it.
 * All-Star:Oh, I see.
 * Foot Soldier:Well, anyways. Should we head back?
 * All-Star:Yeah. I...*A music track begins to play, and All-Star starts blushing* ...
 * Foot Soldier:What is making that sound?
 * All-Star:It's...it's my walkie talkie.
 * Foot Soldier:A walkie talkie can't do that.
 * All-Star: *takes out a phone* What are you talking about? A walkie talkie can do that!
 * Foot Soldier:That's not a...
 * All-Star: *puts it up against his head* Hello, who's this?
 * Foot Soldier: *groans* Never mind...
 * All-Star: *talking over the phone* ...oh, you. What, come over to the end of the sewers, why? ...gnomes? Really? I doubt it. *rolls his eyes* I'll think about it. *puts his phone away* It was Scientist. He said there's gnomes with that key.
 * Gnomus:Heh. Hello again. *uses magic on Foot Soldier and All-Star to knock them out*
 * *Meanwhile again, by the end of the sewers, Scientist is staring blankly*
 * Scientist:I can't believe it. I really can't believe it. Behind that large keyhole. It was...*in front of him is a portal* a...portal. And the gnomes walked in there no problem. Maybe...this is...*hears sounds, then hides behind a rock*
 * *Gnomus and the Gnomes are walking over, some are holding zombie sized sacks*
 * Gnomus:Good job my Gnomes. Now I finally have a way to get back to my land. Then we can return with all our troops, AND TAKE OVER THIS PATHETIC WORLD! *begins laughing maniacally*
 * Gnome #1:Good job sir.
 * Gnome #2:You say that like he did it.
 * Gnomus:Yes, I will be humble and say it was some other gnomes that unlocked the portal. Man, am I feeling proud for deciding to put a gateway to our world here. Now, let's get back in, and bring our hostages too.
 * Scientist: *quietly* Hostages?
 * Gnomus:NOW! IT'S TIME FOR MY RETURN! *all of the gnomes, with the sacks, enter the portal*
 * Scientist: *gets out from his hiding place* ...now I have to go. I can't wait for All-Star anymore. *jumps in the portal himself*
 * *After he does so, he looks around in confusion, as he sees himself in a cave*
 * Scientist:Huh? Where did I end up? *walks around, still confused, until he reaches the exit, where he sees floating stones, islands, and a giant gnome statue* W...wow...this place looks...actually pretty cool. *he begins to walk, and stones quickly fly over to his feet to stop him from falling* Huh. Interesting. Now...*begins to run* I need to find out where those gnomes went. *he runs over to see the gnomes by two poles, he decides to hide by the gnome statue, which he is also to hide behind easily*
 * Gnomus: *off of his hover chair* Now, tie them up! We'll use their world's silly camera to record my message to them.
 * Gnome #2:Ok sir. *pulls the sack off of one of them, revealing a knocked out Foot Soldier*
 * Scientist: *quietly* Huh? Foot Soldier? How did they...*shakes his head* no matter, I have to get them out of here. Higher rank or not, he needs my help.
 * Gnome #1: *turns around* Did anyone hear something?
 * Gnome #3:I bet it's all in your head.
 * Gnome #1:Ok ok. *sees Gnomus turning around and leaving* S...sir? Why are you leaving?
 * Gnomus:Knowing you all, it'll take a few hours, and I want to look my best for this. So I'm going to work on making myself look great. *jumps back onto his hover chair, and floats away*
 * Gnome #2:That lazy...*looks back and sees the other sack has disappeared* huh?
 * Foot Soldier: *slowly coming to* Uzza...? W...where am...I...? *gets hit by a hammer, but doesn't get knocked out again, he then turns around*
 * Gnome #3:That usually works! *gets hit by Foot Soldier's weapon, and is thrown against the other two gnomes*
 * Foot Soldier:I'm not getting beat by you guys! *hears a whisper* Now what? *turns around to see Scientist*
 * Scientist:Pst! Foot Soldier! Over here! I got All-Star too!
 * Foot Soldier:I can do this myself, I don't know why I should work with you and how mean you are.
 * Scientist:I don't think that's a problem right now.
 * Foot Soldier:It'll always be a problem! You've been a problem for a long time!
 * Scientist:I have? I have made many things! Without me, we would've lost a long time ago! Now...*suddenly, he stops talking*
 * Foot Soldier:Now what? *quickly turns around to notice a whole army of gnomes* Oh...*quickly runs over to where Scientist is* Now what?
 * Scientist:Y...you're in charge! You should know!
 * Foot Soldier:I don't know anything! I don't even know how I managed to out rank you!
 * Scientist:It was because Dr. Zomboss thought you'd be better for some...
 * All-Star:I doubt now is a good time to discuss this.
 * Foot Soldier and Scientist: *turn over to see All-Star* You're awake?
 * All-Star:Yeah, I just woke up a bit ago.
 * Scientist:...All-Star?
 * All-Star:Yeah?
 * Scientist:Got any more Imp Punts?
 * All-Star:They're in that bag...*points towards where a lot of gnomes are* over there.
 * Foot Soldier:Of course...
 * Scientist:Wait! I got an idea!
 * Foot Soldier:You do?
 * *all three go in a "circle" and start talking*
 * All-Star:I see.
 * Foot Soldier:Ok.
 * Scientist:Now...let's go!
 * *Foot Soldier fires his ZPG at the gnomes surrounding the Imp Punts, then All-Star Sprint Tackles towards the Imp Punts and starts throwing them at the gnomes, blowing them up one by one, Scientist works on healing both All-Star and Foot Soldier in the process*
 * Scientist:It's working! Good job guys! Now...for the finish...*suddenly, he feels someone pushing on him* Huh? *notices a gnome is pushing him, and before he can react, he falls into a blue portal, Foot Soldier and All-Star are pushed with him*
 * All-Star:...now what?
 * Foot Soldier:I guess that would've made this end all too quickly.
 * Scientist:...
 * Gnome #4: *shouting from another room* HELLO THERE PRISONERS! THIS IS THE TRIAL OF HOT DOOM! AND I AM GNOMIE! I WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!
 * All-Star:And that is?
 * Gnomie:Clear the room without touching any of the red tiles. If you do *giggles* you're dead.
 * Foot Soldier:Oh joy.
 * Gnomie:I'll collect your bodies soon, bye!
 * Scientist:...
 * Foot Soldier:Well shoot. But don't worry guys, I got an idea!
 * All-Star:You do?
 * Foot Soldier: *points to all the nearby Gnome bodies* We just put those on the red tiles!
 * All-Star:Genius! Scientist! Let's do that!
 * Scientist:...
 * All-Star:Scientist?
 * Scientist:...ok. *starts throwing Gnomes on the red tiles*
 * Foot Soldier:What is it?
 * Scientist:...nothing. *they walk on the gnomes, and manage to clear the trial* Just...let's go.
 * Foot Soldier:All right then! *they exit the trial...just to end up back in the area they were before* AUGH! WILL THIS NEVER END?
 * All-Star:Why don't we just leave? I mean, the exit is right *points towards the cave where Scientist exited before* there, I think.
 * Scientist:Yeah. Not that simple however. We need to think of a way to get out without them knowing.
 * Foot Soldier:I know!
 * All-Star:What?
 * Foot Soldier:All-Star, you leave just to let Dr. Zomboss know. Scientist and I will get some gnomes that look like us. It can work as stalling too!
 * All-Star:I...*sighs* ok...*turns around and leaves*
 * Scientist: *uses his Heal Beam of Science on Foot Soldier* This better work.
 * Foot Soldier:It will.
 * *They begin walking around*
 * Scientist:...so...about earlier...
 * Foot Soldier:Sorry. It was wrong of me to do that stuff.
 * Scientist:No, I wanted to say sorry. I overreacted then.
 * Foot Soldier:But the reason why I did that, I should really tell you.
 * Scientist:What?
 * Foot Soldier:I got memories from when I was a human and in them, it was you. It was you that killed me.
 * Scientist:I...well, our job is to kill humans. I'm wondering more towards how you got them back. Is it just that memory?
 * Foot Soldier:It was when I hit my head and yes, just that one. Go ahead, if you want to remove it.
 * Scientist:N...no! I'm jealous! While I hate humans, I always wondered how I was back then.
 * Foot Soldier:I'm sure like how you are now.
 * Scientist:Maybe, but...*they notice three Gnomes* Perfect!
 * Foot Soldier:Yeah! Those are the three gnomes we'll use!
 * *The two begin running over, when the gnomes notice them. They then stack on each other*
 * Scientist:Wait. What are they doing?
 * Gnome #5:FUSE! *the three gnomes manage to fuse into one Giga Gnome. It looks down at Foot Soldier and Scientist*
 * Foot Soldier:Can like, all gnomes do that or something? *he manages to avoid an attack from the Giga Gnome* Whoa! *starts firing at it*
 * Scientist:Well...guess that plan failed. Not that it's our fault. *takes out some Sticky Explody Balls* Taste these! *throws them at the Giga Gnome, and it seems to take a bit of damage* At least you can hurt it.
 * Foot Soldier:Sadly, not much though.
 * Scientist:Yeah but it's still something. *avoids multiple attacks by the Giga Gnome, when it suddenly grabs a rock* Huh?
 * Giga Gnome: *turns around towards Foot Soldier* I'll make sure you can't run! *throws the rock at Foot Soldier's feet, trapping his feet leaving him stuck in place*
 * Foot Soldier:Gah! I can't move! It's too heavy to push away! ...it's actually smart. *the Giga Gnome hops close to him* This is going to hurt...
 * Scientist:Hold on! *runs over towards Foot Soldier and tries to use Warp, but the hammer hits him* OW! *quickly looks down and notices Foot Soldier is gone* Huh?!?!? *quickly looks around* Foot Soldier?
 * Foot Soldier: *from behind the Giga Gnome* Over here! Don't worry!
 * Scientist: *looking injured, he slowly puts his head up* How did it warp you and not me?
 * Foot Soldier:No clue but...you really took that hit for me?
 * Scientist: *weakly salutes* Of course sir.
 * Foot Soldier: *has a happy and upset expression of his face*...
 * Giga Gnome: *rolls his eyes* Oh how cute, now...*puts his hammer up, and notices Scientist is gone* Great. Did I let them do their monologue for too long? *looks behind him to see Foot Soldier and Scientist, with Foot Soldier charging his ZPG* I'M NOT LETTING THAT HAPPEN! *starts to attack, but Foot Soldier hits him with his ZPG before he can smash them, bursting him into the three Gnomes again, all knocked out*
 * Foot Soldier:YEAH! WE DID IT! *Scientist and him high five* Great!
 * Scientist:Yeah! I'd say so. You did well.
 * Foot Soldier:So, are we friends again?
 * Scientist:I don't remember you ever saying we weren't friends, just that you were sick of me, but yeah *they shake hands* friends again. Now let's do what we were here to do.
 * *Later, at Dr. Zomboss's office*
 * All-Star:And s...sir...I don't know when they'll come back! They told me to come and warn you!
 * Dr. Zomboss:So there's a black market and a way the gnomes can easily reach this world? Hmmm...well...thank you for letting me know. A way to Infinity could be vital info.
 * All-Star:But the black market...
 * Dr. Zomboss:I'll deal with that sometime. I'll send troops to check...*hears knocking* come in.
 * *The door opens to show Foot Soldier and Scientist. They are holding some blue mushrooms*
 * Scientist: *walks over and drops the mushrooms* I...no, *looks at Foot Soldier* we found those in Infinity.
 * Foot Soldier:Yeah, we thought it'd be good to bring them there.
 * Dr. Zomboss:Good job! As my second and third in commands, I'm...
 * Foot Soldier:About that.
 * Scientist:Huh?
 * Dr. Zomboss:What?
 * Foot Soldier:I have an objection. I don't deserve it.
 * Scientist: *quickly trying to whisper "You don't have to tell him about how you're involved in the black market!"*
 * Foot Soldier:I feel Scientist is better suited. He saved my life when I was in trouble multiple times today. He has a temper yes, but I'm sure we can improve it.
 * All-Star:...
 * Dr. Zomboss:...
 * Scientist: *looking confused* ...
 * Foot Soldier:So...just to let you know.
 * Dr. Zomboss:I...I mean...uh...if you insist, I guess that's a power you can do. But wow, thanks for making my meeting yesterday pointless.
 * All-Star:Not the problem right now.
 * Dr. Zomboss:I GET IT! But all right then, Foot Soldier, you're 3rd in command, Scientist, you're 2nd in command. There. Now, All-Star and Foot Soldier, leave, I'll talk to Scientist in private.
 * Foot Soldier: *salutes* Yes sir. *All-Star and him leave*
 * Dr. Zomboss: *looks at Scientist* You're really lucky, you know that? Now, I trust that you'll be better this time?
 * Scientist:Y...yes sir.
 * Dr. Zomboss:Good. Because now we're back at stage one, and you know what failure number 1 means.
 * Scientist:...y...yes sir...getting hit by the stick...
 * Dr. Zomboss:Now we wouldn't want now, would we? Now, I trust in you to defeat the plants!
 * Scientist:Of course sir. *he leaves the office* ...Foot Soldier is right. There is propaganda. And the real Dr. Zomboss barely anyone knows is right in front of them. They just aren't used to the thought that there could be a boss better, and I'm not that much better either. *shakes his head* I can't do much, but I will make the zombie life better. The plants are in the way right now, but once they're gone, I know what I'll do.
 * *End of episode*

Trivia/Notes

 * Sorry if it is sort of weird, I didn't have "full" ideas for the episode.
 * This episode shows both a bit of the Trials of Gnomus (no idea if I'll mention all of them) and Rux, both which are accessed from the sewers.
 * The Crazy Targets weren't mentioned due to being slightly mentioned in Part 6, Sickly Snaggles.
 * There are multiple references to parts 16, the "16.5" zombie journal blog, and part 15.
 * The fact that a Cozmic Brainz buys "a lesson to guide his ultra ball" is a reference to the fact that Rux has sold the Super Guided Ultra Ball in the past.
 * Yes, similar to the comics, Dr. Zomboss is a bit of an abusive leader. And even though he isn't Scientist's father, it has effected him a bit though, to act similar.
 * This episode was focused on the zombies both because I felt like it, and the request of another user (sort of).
