"Man, I can't wait to go CHA-BOOF on them after 1 year of being stuck in this seed packet!"

The voice came from the left head of two cherries whose stems were attached to each other. They were sitting on a table decked out on the front lawn, and there was a label on the table that said, "Insta-use Plants belong here".

"Same here, bro!" shouted the right head. "I just feel the urge to explode!"

"Calm yourselves," chucked Twilight Sparkle, "You don't wanna waste the explosion right now."

"Alright my zombies," said Zomboss, "We have two new recruits today, come introduce yourselves."

A smiling zombie with a cone on his head came to the lab. "My name's Conehead!" he shouted.

Then another zombie with a cone on his head walked up as well. "The name's Caleb!"

"Well, since there's eleven of us now," said Zomboss, "We should-"

"Wait! You forgot somebody, and his name is Crazy!"

A zombie walked up. He looked like Basic, except that unlike Basic, he had a smile on his face like Conehead.

"Sorry for the inconvenience," apologized Zomboss, "Now that there's twelve of us, we should go and attack the plants for the third time!"

"I think I see the zombies, for the third time!" exclaimed Twilight.

"Well, I guess we have to start attacking," said Peashooter.

The first zombie coming was Crazy and he skipped along the line of grass singing to himself happily. He was shot by a pea, but that did not diminish his mood. Even when his arm popped off from a magic beam fired by Twilight, he still sang and sang until his head got knocked off by a pea.

Then Basic came next, but what was surprising was that he had a few other zombies going with him: Nurp, Watterson, and Caleb. "Get them," Twilight whispered to Cherry Bomb. The twin cherries jumped into the four zombies...

CHA-BOOF!

What used to be four zombies, were now a pile of ash. "We destroyed them!" shouted the left head.

"Actually, we obliterated them," said the right head.

"Destroyed!"

"Obliterated!"

"DESTROYED!"

"OBLITERATED!"

"Fine, I guess we'll settle for Destrobliterated!"

"Alright then."

"Hmmm," shouted Dr. Zomboss to the other zombies but quietly, "we should all go out at once, because the Cherry Bomb's recharging! That way, the two shooters and that flower can't take care of all of us, and we'll finally get the brains! So what do you think?"

The zombies wondered, until:

"Sounds like a nice plan!" agreed Untote.

The other zombies then agreed with the plan.

The zombies all began marching towards the plants and Twilight! Twilight knew they were doomed, but all of a sudden, Cherry Bomb replanted itself! The other plants and Twilight gasped in relief, while the zombies gasped in shock. The fuse lit, the cherries jumped into the horde...

CHA-BOOF!

Once again, ash was everywhere, but surprisingly, two of the zombies, Purple and Zomboss weren't turned into ash, although they were pretty much charred from the blast.

"We did it!" shouted Peashooter.

"But why were the zombies going out all at once?" wondered Sunflower.

"Uh, we didn't know we spent 75% of Cherry Bomb's recharging moment discussing that plan!" shouted Purple a bit too loudly, in which he realized his mistake and gasped. Zomboss had also heard and was shocked as well. Let's just say the consequences were full of peas and beams.

"Why did you zombies snitch on me?!" demanded Zomboss, as he stood in front of them like an angry father scolding all his children.

"Sorry," apologized Purple.

"He didn't mean to," Boot added.

"Ugh! Well, I'll never trust you zombies with getting that crazy dude and that unicorn's brains ever again!" decided Zomboss, who received sarcastic gasps from the other zombies.

"Do you actually mean that?" asked Caleb in a taunting way.

"Um… maybe?" a rather sheepish Zomboss replied.

"I never even got to show the world what I was made of!" yelled Conehead for no reason.

"Stop breaking the fourth wall!" yelled Zomboss.

The three plants were in the living room, along with Twilight and Crazy Dave. Just then, Twilight spoke up.

"So, Crazy Dave, since you already told me how Zomboss made the zombies and brought them back, can you now please tell me the story of how Zomboss himself, turned into one?"

"Wabbo, sure. It all happened 15 years ago..."

"I was just minding my own business once again, until I ended up bumping into my old rival, Edgar," narrated Dave. Past Dave received a glare from Edgar.

"What do you want?" scoffed Edgar.

"Look, Edgar," said Past Dave, "I came to say sorry about-"

"HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT "SORRY" MIGHT NOT CUT IT?!" Edgar screamed at Past Dave, who could only say, "You'd think I would know that by now..."

"You've set a reputation for yourself, Dave," Edgar continued, "For all I know, you could be pretending to be sorry and still be mocking me in your thoughts! Ever since you caused my zombie to get an F- 5 years ago, I've been disgraced by others every year, everybody hates me now, and that's your own fault!"

"Look, Edgar!" Past Dave shouted, "I know I shouldn't have yelled at you in front of everybody, I know I should have done that when nobody else was there, but you were bullying others for no reason, and I had to stand up to-"

"Just deal with it!" yelled Edgar, walking off, "I don't trust you anymore. And I probably never will. Oh, and by the way, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to see this!" And then Edgar grabbed a syringe and injected himself with it! Suddenly, he began turning into a human, but the human had a grayish-green skin color, so now Edgar was a zombie! Past Dave was surprised. His once friend had angrily abandoned him and turned himself into a zombie!

Edgar then turned around.

"From this point on, don't call me Edgar anymore! Call me Zomboss, and I'm also declaring war on you and your puny Peashooter!"

"And that's why for the past 14 years, there has been a zombie and plant war going on," said Dave. "I had to make many new plants to counter all those new zombies by Zomboss, and if that wasn't bad enough, he thinks it's all my fault it happened."

Twilight felt bad for Dave. He had been through a lot during his childhood, and he had to spend the last 14 years defending himself from zombies using plants, suffering a paranoia of zombies, and slowly going crazy. "I'm sorry this all happened to you, Dave." she comforted.

"It's not your fault," said Dave, "And I think we're more alike than we thought. You became a disgrace, I became a disgrace, and not to mention, I've invented many things during my life, and every time I see you, you remind me of all these inventions I've made. We're both geniuses in a way."

"Thanks, Dave, I'm here for you," said Twilight. "I'm just glad to have new friends, but if my name is ever cleared and I go back to my old friends, I'll give you something to remember me by."

And the two ponies shared a friendship hug. Peashooter and Sunflower awwed, as both heads of Cherry Bomb turned around in disgust, as they weren't the type for cute moments like these.

Author's Note

A pretty short battle.

Also typing the second half nearly made me cry. This was because the scene in the flashback where Zomboss turns against Dave was inspired by a scene from Battle for BFDI.
