Not gonna lie I forgot I had fanfics and responsibility to update and post them 💀
Time to put out another chapter!
—————————-
Several days passed of the same repetitive cycle. Zombies was appearing at night instead of day now.
This proved to be a blessing and a curse. Jason sleep schedule was in ruins, his plants training schedule needed to be modified a bit for the incovience of zombie night attacks.
Which so far remains to be quite tame compared to the absurd attacks on the day levels in the front yard.
Jason assumption was that assassinating Zomboss had a hand in it, that or he is still recovering being unable to direct his zombies effectively. Part of Jason hoped that Zomboss burned to death.
Besdies dealing with same repetive cycle of Zomboss defense at night. Jason was able to get some new night plants! Introducing!
Sun shroom that's just a sun flower but for night!
The Luigi of pvz but purple! Scaredy shroom. A slight upgrade compared to puff shroom where scaredy shroom can shoot long range compared to puffshroom who can only shoot short range.
Oh and scaredy shroom afraid of close range enemies wanting to hide. Like how Jason likes to hide in his room and starve when his parents invited guests over for dinner.
This mushroom plant might be a bit too relatable when it comes to problems. Ain't that right view-
"If you don't fuck with scaredy shroom we can't be friends"
"???"
All the plants nearby Jason looked at him confused on why he was talking to himself again while he was digging up a grave in his front lawn.
Continuing on! Next plant up he obtained was Fume shroom! The chunky version of the puff shroom, least he considered the fume shroom to be an upgrade to the puff shroom.
The fume shroom was a large puff shroom nearly the size of a wall nut and could spew a burst of acidic purple bubbles that had a nice noise to it.
What can he say? He quite liked the bubbles like that yellow fish in finding Nemo.
So far all the mushroom plants method of attack have been acid related. The peas fired fast moving peas that hit like a truck able to break bones and cause all sorts of nasty internal damage.
The mushroom plants have projectiles that are slower and liquid properties, however they're projectiles all seem to have acid in them. From the smallest puffshroom to the chunkiest fumeshroom.
*dig, dig, dig, dink*
"There you are you freeloading brain muncher."
The fumeshroom bubbles come out small but in high quanity which more than makes up for its lackluster looking attack. They are quite useful for crowd control when Jason taught them to spray their bubbles more side to side infront of them rather than just straight line fire.
If their gonna be large group of zombies then it would be best to spread out the damage, especially when you have several fumeshrooms.
*creeeeeek*
Oh and if curious on what Jason has been doing for the past hour, each morning digging up a grave?
"You picked the wrong lawn fool!"
"Brainz?" Asked the zombie as it rubbed it unblinking eye when its coffin was opened.
*WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!*
He was clearing up the zombies that would spawn on the flag wave beforehand.
"You thought you was being cute huh?! You thought you was slick!"
"Brainzzzzz-"
*WHAM WHAM WHAM*
Now you might be curious and wondering why he's not using a grave buster, it'll be faster and get it over with right? Just one small problem!
They die instanly after use like a cherrybomb or potato mine. It's quite unnerving to see the grave buster crumble into pieces once it fullfill its purpose.
It just dies like that, like a male bee whole purpose to bust a fat one then die immediately after.
Yes Jason could've used a whole different example.
"Phew that was a lot of work just to dig up a coffin. And now I have to fill this hole with dirt. Fantastic."
-small timeskip-
Digging up the dirt should be more difficult than putting the dirt back into the hole he made towards the coffin.
So why the hell does it feel like he's in a endless loop of throwing dirt into the hole in the ground?!
"What the hell is going on man?! I've been shoveling for 5 MINUTES- Chomper?! Get out of there! It's filithy in there!"
The cause of Jason shoveling loop was one of his chompers throwing dirt back into the pile of dirt Jason was shoveling.
It was a one sided game with the Chomper believing they was playing a weird special game involved with dirt.
Ever been annoyed or displeased with your dog but can't truly be mad at them cause it's not their fault for not knowing any better? Exactly the situation right now.
Chomper tilted it head confused, it thought they was playing a game but apparently not! It head drooped low and made its way out the grave dug hole back to the other plants.
It stopped to turn its head facing at Jason and lets out a sad whimper that was kinda mixed with a growl. Before continuing onwards, then stopped to look back at Jason. And repeat its actions a few times.
"Mother fu…..he's trying to guilt trip me. And it's working."
Jason was a mentally strong individual. He was not so easily guilt tripped.
He is strong willed
He is….
He….
"Okay fine we can play but not for too long!"
It's hard to be strong willed when you're baby -pet- acts all sad and needy for attention. Of course you could ignore or send them away, Jason was not that strong to resist and folded almost immediately.
The Chomper perked up and started rubbing towards Jason, panting like a dog then leapt straight towards him once in range.
Jason eyes widen and quickly brought his arms up which made him drop his shovel. The Chomper collides with Jason body making both fall into the dug grave, straight onto the zombie corpse with a loud thud.
"Ack! My back! My back!"
-insert time skip brought to you by a zombie doing taxes-
"Brainzzzz-hark!"
"Nice! My aim getting better"
Our protagonist here decided to up his approach in being helpful during a zombie attack, with the amount of projectiles flying he would certainly get hit due to friendly fire. While if he wasn't hit he still would be in the way, while it is therapeutic for Jason to giving zombies a beating with a shovel.
It still got in the way if he run into the field making the plants job at protecting him harder. He recommends that you try beating zombies to death with a shovel, highly effective for pent up emtions.
So what's a human to do?
Get a gun?
Of course! However that's impossible in Pvz universe or at least in the area he is in. He searched his neighborhood when he had the time during the day to find a gun store.
None seemed to exist, hell even the police station he did find was empty. Even the armory!
No guns for Jason, no sir. Unfortunately he didn't know how to make any type of fire arm either. He didn't think he would need the knowledge on how to make a freaking glock or hunting rifle etc.
He doesn't even know how gun powder is made. It was knowledge he didn't need, if he was a gun lover perhaps he would have the knowledge. But he doesn't and now it's biting him in the ass.
Next solution? Getting you're own ammo from the infinite ammo glitch!
Which was using the peas to produce peas and drop them into baskets to store to ammo. With fresh peas and even ice pea rounds Jason now had artillery, especially when launching cherry bombs.
He made a sling shot that was quite wide, two sun flower on each side would hold the piece of the sling shot while Jason held the launching mechanism and fire pea rounds at zombies in the distance that wouldn't get hit by the mushrooms due to being out of range or because of a zombie body blocking the incoming attack.
Another sunflower would reload the sling shot after Jason fired, this ensured the fastest reload possible instead of having Jason manually reloading which would be a waste of precious seconds.
Every second counts in a battle after all.
He wasn't the only one using a sling shot. He and along several other teams of sunflowers was on the roof and inside the house with open windows along with baskets full of pea rounds of ice and regular peas.
If you're curious on why he chose sunflowers specifically? It's quite simple to him. The pea shooters already have a built in means of attack. They don't need a sling shot to help. the sunflowers are also not in their element at night. They produce sun at a slower rate, he has a lot of them yes but their sitting their feeling useless. Additionally sunflowers can't protect themselves or fight until garden warfare despite Jason efforts to see if they have any hidden means of attack.
So far no success in that regard from tests.
So here they are now helping Jason rain fire upon the brain eaters.
They was still smiling. They seem to be enjoying being able to cause violence instead of playing support quite a lot.
It's a little worrying-
"This is step one!" He shouted with glee was he launched an ice pea round into the air, it sailed upwards then with the law of gravity was brought downwards straight towards a newspaper zombie. It's newspaper just got shredded by several mushrooms firing upon it. Before it could even get enraged its head got oblitered.
The newspaper zombie stumbled a few times before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"What is step two?! No one going to get that huh?"
The sound of rubber being stretched then a loud 'Twing!' Of peas getting launched from slingshots was a constant sound on the roof.
Zombies was getting destroyed not by ground plants but also the sunflower teams on the roof. Teams of four sunflowers working in tandem, two to hold the sling shot steady while turning its trajectory, one to launch the pea round and the final sunflower to hand ammo their crew so that their was a frequent rate of fire.
And of course because they're sunflowers, they made sure to take turns on who gets to shoot.
CRASH! CRACK!
"Careful with your aim ladies!" Jason shouted to the sunflowers as he launched another pea round nearly missing his target who was getting melted by mushroom attacks. Surprisingly the sunflowers aim was mostly spot on.
Time to time they did miss but that was rare.
So far the defense of this night was going very strong. Sunshrooms in the back line providing valueable energy to the defenders on the lawn.
Random dugged holes in the lawn by Jason was having zombies fall into them. Making quite easy to head shot any zombie trying to climb out.
All in all everything was going perfect. Zombies in the back lines got their heads destroyed by over eager sling shotting sunflowers.
Wall nuts tanking zombie bites upon them like champs while puff shroomings, scardy shrooms and fumeshrooms layed down the pain on the ground. It was gradually becoming a massacre.
"Damn, that was something." Sigh
"Sorry guys seems like we don't need to launch the cherry bombs or set the peas on fire." At such words all the sunflower artillery slingshot crews happy smiles turned upside done.
They really wanted to blow up the undead and see them catch on fire! Once the wave was pretty much wrapped up the plants all began to relax and be more at ease.
Jason already was making his way down from the roof using a ladder, he of course had to search for the next seed packet that was weirdly always on the last zombie after each level.
"Ah perfect a Hypno shroom! How do i tactically use this little guy besdies leaving him on the lawn? Hmmmmmmmmmm"
Jason head turns to look at the slingshots on the roof. "Maybe? Maybe. Worth a shot"
"Wait if I'm gonna launch Hypno shrooms…." Jason gaze began to turn to the wall nuts on his lawn. A none existent light bulb turned on above his head.
Jason wasn't the smartest guy around but he did have an idea. A diabolical idea against the plans to weaponize a defensive support plant.
If Jason could smile like the grinch he certainly would be right now.
Now while he couldn't play wall but bowling since crazy Dave vanished to who knows where. He could play angry plants
"Heyyyyy guys who wants to learn how to fly?" He asked the wallnuts with an all to wide smile, each wall nut glanced at each other slightly worried by the expression on their gardener face.
