"Wow, Moondancer," said Twilight to her crush. "That was a nice date we had yesterday."

"Same here," agreed Moondancer.

The two unicorns were inside the house and on the bed cuddling each other. Ever since the two rekindled their friendship, Twilight promised to never treat Moondancer badly ever again.

Meanwhile, the plants (except Cherry Bomb and Single Cherry, who weren't the type for all that romance stuff) were spying on the two inside the room. They carefully hid under a bunch of pillows to avoid revealing themselves.

"Ship!" whispered Potato Mine to the other plants.

"Potato Mine," whispered a magnet growing on top of a purple and green mushroom, "how long are you going to stay in your little fantasy world?" This gave out silent gasps from the other plants.

"You never heard of romance, Magnet-shroom?" whispered a surprised Sunflower.

"Not really, the second I was created, I was immediately killed and put back into my seed packet for being "ugly," but Dave found me yesterday and freed me, and then I was accepted into the gang by you all."

"Well, that must suck," whispered Wall-nut, "being trapped and cramped inside a seed packet for most of your life and barely having knowledge of anything."

"Don't worry, I'm learning new things," reassured Magnet-shroom quietly.

"I must say," said Chomper, "this is cute."

"Same here," said Twin Sunflower's right head.

Twilight swore she heard some voices from the pillows, but she dismissed them and went back to cuddling Moondancer. Just then the pillow fort couldn't hold any longer and fell, revealing the 9 plants.

"Um, hi?" said Cabbage-pult.

"How did you all get here?!" exclaimed a surprised Moondancer, "And who are you?" she asked to Magnet-shroom.

"We went to spy on you and Twilight, as we wanted to see if your date would go well, and it did!" said Snow Pea, "And this guy here is Magnet-shroom, our new recruit. He can steal metal things from enemies."

"Alright, my zombies," said Dr. Zomboss to his fellow zombies. "I know our last attack didn't work out thanks to that stupid Plant Food incident. We would have succeeded if Grassy didn't drop one of the bags at the store."

"Sorry!"

"Anyways, we have a new recruit. Meet Buckethead!"

A zombie wearing a metal grey bucket came out. The bucket had a few blood stains on it.

"Hi, I'm a tough zombie with my bucket, so the plants will have a hard time getting through me."

"Excellent." smiled Zomboss. "We'll attack later today."

"Magnet-shroom, are you going to come with us to the movie theater?" asked Dave. "It's opening today, and they're playing the Equestria Girls movie!"

"I saw that movie before," said Magnet-shroom, "so no thanks. Plus I can guard the house against zombies myself."

"Alright then," said Crazy Dave, "please take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I will."

As soon as the plants, Dave, and the two unicorns left to go to the grand opening of the movie theater, Magnet-shroom went to the living room, sat on the couch and began relaxing. But it wasn't long until...

"Brains!"

"So these are the zombies I was told about," said Magnet-shroom to himself. He opened the door and saw Basic and Buckethead walking towards the lawn.

"Nothing can stop us now!" shouted Buckethead, but then his bucket flew away! "Huh? Why do I feel lighter all of a sudden?" Then he saw the problem.

Magnet-shroom had taken the bucket!

"Well, at least he can't attack us," said Buckethead, but he was wrong. Magnet-shroom grabbed what was left of the Plant Food bag, and ate it all up! Then suddenly many metal things from the house began flying towards him! A ladder, some extra buckets, and even a pickaxe!

"Uh oh," said Purple, who just walked onto the lawn, along with Nurp, Elmore, Watterson, Boot, Crazy, Untote, and Armless.

Then the zombies saw all the metal things floating around Magnet-shroom, and he was ready to throw! "Uh oh!" yelled Watterson.

And he did! Magnet-shroom threw all the metal things towards the zombies! "UH OH!" screamed Crazy.

CLANG!

BANG!

BOOM!

Magnet-shroom saw the ten dead zombies he killed with his Plant Food ability. He was surprised, but amazed at the same time.

Zomboss, on the other hand, was furious.

"CONEHEAD! CALEB! GRASSY! SPRINTY! VAULTY! TAKE DOWN THAT MAGNETIC BRAT RIGHT NOW!"

"Yes, boss!" yelled Caleb.

"He sure sounds funny when angry," said Conehead.

Magnet-shroom was about to eat the Plant Food again to take down the five zombies left, when he realized that there was none left!

"Oh no. Well, looks like I have to take matters into my own hooves!"

"You're a mushroom! You don't have hooves!" yelled Grassy from the road.

"It's an idiom!"

Magnet-shroom found a lawnmower and decided that he would try and run over the zombies with it. He pulled the string, and the lawnmower began moving!

Grassy tried to sneak through, but this was a bad idea right now, because the lawnmower ran him over. While Conehead and Caleb weren't so lucky either, Sprinty and Vaulty jumped over the lawnmower!

"Um..." said Magnet-shroom, as the lawnmower was picked up by Vaulty and thrown back where it was originally was, except it landed upside down.

Magnet-shroom wasn't giving up that easily though. He ran inside the house, and got out a fake brain toy. Upon seeing it, Sprinty and Vaulty began chasing after Magnet-shroom, who ran around the lawn for a while, until he saw an open sewer manhole near the lawn. He ran towards that direction and threw the brain into the manhole, and the two zombies, being complete idiots, jumped into the manhole!

"Well, they've been taken care of," said Magnet-shroom, as he put the lid of the manhole on top, which would prevent the two athletic zombies from getting out.

2 hours later...

Magnet-shroom was just chilling out on the couch. He was reading some Daring Do books.

"I like that pony, she's awesome." said the mushroom to himself.

Just then the door opened, and Magnet-shroom saw the other plants, along with Dave, Moondancer, and Twilight. They had come back from the movies.

"Hello, how was the movie?" asked Magnet-shroom.

"Wabby, I loved it!" shouted Dave.

"These people are like human versions of us ponies," said Twilight.

"How was your time at home?" asked Snow Pea.

"Well," said Magnet-shroom, "the zombies attacked again, but I used plant food, metal things, a lawnmower, and a fake brain to defeat them. Then I just chilled out reading Daring Do books."

"Um, everybody?" said Peashooter, "I found this note near our door."

Everybody came to Peashooter to see the note. The note said:

Hello,

We are about to launch an all-out attack on your houze.

Sincerely, the Zombies.

"Looks like, we need to get prepared," said Twilight, "for the ULTIMATE BATTLE!"

It was night time, and tomorrow would be the ultimate battle. Dr. Zomboss had snuck into the house by smashing a window and using a ladder. Slowly but silently and carefully, he ate all the plants except Peashooter and Snow Pea, until they turned back into seed packets. He put all the seeds into his pocket, and grabbed Peashooter and Snow Pea by the necks!

"Huh?!"

"What's going on?!"

"Silence, you two!" hushed Zomboss. "I'm stealing you two for a project!" And then he jumped out of the same window he came in from.

At the lab, Peashooter and Snow Pea were in cages. Zomboss was carrying a tweezer.

"Let us go!"

"This isn't cool at all!"

"Too bad! I need your DNA for a project!" snarled Zomboss. He used the tweezer to pull a chunk of Peashooter's leaf off, and then he did the same with one of Snow Pea's ice crystals.

"Excellent," smirked Zomboss. He walked over and found two zombie hairs on the ground. He put one hair on the chunk of Peashooter's leaf, and the other on the chunk of Snow Pea's ice crystal.

"I know that if I let you two go, you will tell everybody, so your brains will be eaten."

"Wait-"

Zomboss unlocked the cages and dropped the two peashooters on the ground. All the zombies that were currently on the team came racing to the two and began eating them up until they were nothing but seed packets.

Zomboss then grabbed a serum and poured a drop onto the plate with the Peashooter leaf chunk and the zombie hair, and poured another drop onto the plate with the Snow Pea crystal chunk and the zombie hair.

"Tomorrow," laughed Zomboss as the two serum-covered plates began shaking, "will not just be the ultimate battle, but also the Zombotany battle!" With that, he gave out an evil laugh that echoed through the sky.

"Thanks for freeing all of us from the cages," said Blover.

"You're welcome, but, how will we expose her?" asked Iceberg Lettuce to the other plants in The Lotus n Flora Store. Winter Lotus was sleeping, so the plants had to be quiet.

"I say we show the security camera footage to the next customer," said Lightning Reed.

"We take a picture of the to-kill list and show it all over the public?" suggested Threepeater's middle head.

"Meow meow meow meow?" asked Cattail, which was then translated by Cactus to "Show the dead bodies?"

"All great ideas," said Iceberg Lettuce. "But we can't expose her immediately. Otherwise, everypony will think we're crazy."

"So, when will we expose that Winter Lotus?" asked Doom-shroom.

"When the time is perfect. We just have to wait for the right moment to happen."

Author's Note

I know you would find it odd that I introduced Magnet-shroom this early and you might be wondering, "When's Repeater gonna be in this series?" Well, I wanted to mix things up a bit, so Repeater will appear in the future, but for now, he's not going to be in the series.

Next chapter will happen in Ponyville, where we'll see how Twilight's friends are coping with not only the banishment of their friend but also the banishments of Flitter and Cloudchaser. Speaking of which, I will reveal their fate in the next few chapters, so stay tuned for that!
