    We finally made it to Middle Waterfall... I'm exhausted... Let's rest here.

  2. 1
    Hygro Plantago

    You're tired already? We're only halfway up. Why not keep going and rest when we reach Maple Lake?

  3. 2
    (monologue)Homing Thistle

    (This is... Hygro Plantago, a local plant from Maple Falls who recently joined the team.)

  4. 2
    (monologue)Red Stinger

    (This is Hygro Plantago, a new member of the team and a local plant from Maple Falls.)

  5. 3
    (monologue)Homing Thistle

    (The locals are used to the waterfall terrain, and Hygro Plantago hasn't been on the team long. No wonder there's still so much pep in that step.)

  6. 3
    (monologue)Red Stinger

    (Must be used to the gales and the altitude here. Not even a little tired—but I sure am.)

  7. 4
    Peashooter

    I'm getting tired, too... How about we clear out some zombies here and take a breather?

  8. 5
    (monologue)Homing Thistle

    (The definition of 'rest' keeps getting broader and broader.)

  9. 5
    (monologue)Red Stinger

    (How the heck does that count as resting?!)

  10. 6
    Sunflower

    Speaking of zombies, didn't Hygro Plantago say there was a new kind of zombie holding a bucket?

  11. 7
    Hygro Plantago

    Yes, there are zombies like that, and their buckets are often filled with liquid.

  12. 8
    Hygro Plantago

    But there's no need to worry. If the liquid spills out, I can absorb it.

  13. 9
    Cherry Bomb

    Oh, so you can absorb water? Could you suck up the whole waterfall?

  14. 10
    Hygro Plantago

    I could if the water were spread thin, but not when it's rushing this hard.

  15. 11
    Hygro Plantago

    For instance, when I made soup with Ordzumby and Hurriclover, I couldn't absorb the water straight from the lake.

  16. 12
    Hygro Plantago

    Hurriclover had to blow some water out of the lake first so I could absorb it.

  17. 13
    Wall-nut

    That sounds like Hurriclover. He used to gather water, then wrap his leaves in it to attack zombies.

  18. 14
    Hygro Plantago

    Right. I can also drain the water from him while he's charging up and steal his attack out from under him.

  19. 15
    ——Homing Thistle

    (If we end up fighting, we'll have Hygro Plantago intercept his attack.) By the way, who's Ordzumby?

  20. 15
    ——Red Stinger

    (I wonder if the soup was any good.) So, who is this Ordzumby...?

  21. 16
    Hygro Plantago

    Oh, Ordzumby is my neighbor. He's a zombie who lives near Upper Waterfall.

  22. 17
    Hygro Plantago

    Don't worry, he's not with the zombies attacking us. I'll introduce you when we reach the upper waterfall.

  23. 18
    Peashooter

    All right. Let's fight some zombies, get a little rest, and then head upstream.
