"Rebellion time is on. 

They don't know what it means. They really don't know. But they will discover it soon. Really soon. 

All the population calls for revenge. Revenge for the years of oppression. Revenge for years being repressed, cut, killed, trampled on. Don't you want a better world for your kids ? We can offer you this better world. So, wake up ! Stop letting them do whatever they want and show them we ARE the strongest ! "

A real clamor rose up against THEM. 

"Plants are life. And life can't be hindered. That's why tomorrow, before dawn, before another day of submission begins, we'll attack ! AND WE WILL WIN !!!"

I've never seen a meeting fierce like this, but I have never seen either such as unity in our Plant people. Grass, of course, but also roses, tulips, hyacinths, stinging nettles, daisies, dandelions, clovers, and others, all close, in a perfect harmony, against humans. Even the trees were carefully listening to the arrogant white lily who was delivering this angry speech. And, exactly like the leaders expected, every single plant rallied behind this historical cause, pushed by millennia of injustice and tyranny. 

"Great ! Now go rest ! You'll need all your capacities tomorrow !"

The following day, as it has been said, before the sun rose its first rays, the battle was about to begin. The lilies, the leaders, had spent the whole night making attack plans, everything was perfectly prepared, and everyone was ready. In a loud scream, full of rage, the signal was given and the battle began, first step towards a new world, towards a new age, where the plants would rule the world, where nature would be the only law. 

It was fierce. Fierce. No difference lasts in this moment of fight, but not plants against plants, no, all the plants against humans. A fight for freedom. Not for individual survival. For nature's survival in this age of progress, like humans call the destruction they cause. 

Even the delicate poppies were growing up, trying to take back the space humans had taken to us a very long time ago. The ferns were throwing their spores in the air to settle the biggest part of land they could. The trees were making their roots grow to destroy all the concrete that suffocates the Earth. Grass was becoming vines, covering the buildings as much as they could. Humans were trying to defend all their "modern world", screaming in horror in front of the anger they had created. They were setting fire, that is not really efficient on alive, wet plants ; they were cutting but every time they cut a plant, three substituted it. Finally, we won this battle, avoiding killing or injuring anyone, with not always a lot of success, because some humans were becoming totally crazy, losing their minds at seeing the return of nature. We didn't eradicate humans, they just had to learn new ways to be and exist with nature. And the former "civilisation" is now just an old memory, staying in pieces of metal and concrete.
