Hina and I look around, seeing the ruins of the city, it looked much nicer on the outside than it did on the inside. Most buildings were okay, but I notice many of them have collapsed. Trash is littered everywhere, the pavement is all cracked, and cars sit abandoned, destroyed, and crashed into buildings or trees. However, the city was not desolate, far from it in fact.

Several low level chimera ants are scattered across the streets of Yorknew, their attention now placed on Hina and I. Most look like the yellow-eyed emaciated ants that Zazan creates by stinging humans, while a few others are clearly created by Father due to their trademark green eyes. However, some of which don't seem to be in either category, rather, they  looked more similar to the average ant from the colony I joined, as they had less humanoid appearances than Father's ants and lack the green eyes, while they also didn't have the yellow eyes or look like they were starving like Zazan's. I have a theory as to how they were born, but I don't exactly want to believe it. Hopefully they are just new variants that father made.

"Alejandro... they're staring at us..." Hina said, quivering.

"It's alright princess, stay calm, they're not attacking yet, are they? We just need to stand still and show that we're not a threat to them." I assure her.

She gulps and nods as a few of the other ants make their way toward us, inspecting us.

Just stay calm, Hina. The best option is to just keep still and not provoke them. I think to myself while the enemy ants inspect us.

Eventually they seem satisfied and leave us alone, all of them going back to whatever it was they were doing here. Hina breathes a sight of relief, and I pat her on the head, letting her know that we're okay now. However, it soon became clear that we weren't out of the woods yet, for after the the low level ants left us alone, a voice called out to us from above. "Well well, what have we here? A couple weaklings coming along to spy on us?"

Looking up, on top of a medium sized building, I see two figured, one resembling a shark, carrying a large sword with an elongated sea shell blade, and coral hilt slung over his shoulder...
