'Path to Hallownest. Diary of an ant'

°-Battle and separation-°

They looked around, mesmerized by the structure of what seemed to be a city.
Tote stopped and so did the family, he looked at the ceiling, there was a small bug on it, it seemed aware of it's surroundings, so it would be hard skipping it
Tote silently grabbed one knocking bomb and aimed at the bug.
He shot.
Once the bomb got close to the infected bug this one exploted even before the bomb could reach it
Tote: IT EXPLOTES!?
Tain: That means that we must be aware, we cannot let these things get close to us.
Tein: Well... this will be harder than I thought
Tote: C'mon. We gotta keep going.

Again, Tote took the lead, with Tare at his side so they could see well the city
They heard footsteps and voices, that didn't sound like an infected bug
Trix accelerated and tried going towards the voices, just to get stopped by Tote.
Tote: Wait.
They saw a centry across the room, marching around like if it was watching out for any new bug
Tote: Now look at it's eyes.
Trix stared at the centry. Orange glowing eyes.
Trix: Infected...?
Tote: In fact, it is. And I don't think that it'll let us pass so easily
Tein: Then we shall have to kill it, I see no problem
Tara: So violent as always... try not getting hurt
The twins charged against the centry, when this one noticed the twins it charged back against them
The centry blocked Tain, but Tein slashed it from behind, and as it lost it's composture, Tain stabbed it
The centry fell to the floor
Tein: Hah, that was easy! Is there anything el-
A spear was thrown, almost hitting him
The lancer centry looked at them both, as it took another spear to attack
Tain: Hey! That thing can fly! Not fair!
Tein: YOU IDIOT WE HAVE WINGS
Tain: Ah... right. Let's go then! A battle far from the floor
Both twins started flying and striked against the lancer, which tried blocking their attacks until two winged centries joined to the battle
The siblings that stayed down became aware of their surroundings
Tase: Teal! Behind you!
Teal turned back and saw a husk centry coming for him.
He took his sword and blocked the attack
Tara took Tori, Tare and Trix to a safe zone
Tase felt something approaching to her
A heavy figure tried slashing her with it's big nail, but she was ready and crouched down to not get hit
She grabbed her weapon and aimed at the heavy centry, ready to fight
Tote saw himself surrounded by infected husks, he gotta be fast so he can go and help his siblings
Each sibling, with their respective enemies.

The twins had their fight far from the floor, if they fell they could get damaged
Tein went for the winged centries
He flew around avoiding and blocking the attacks, as Tain was trying to not get hurt by the lancer
Both winged centries tried charging against Tein, he got on the wall and waited for them
When the centries were close enough he dropped himself, making them crash into the wall
Now that he had them dizzy, he got rid of one by slashing it with his knifes
One less, other remaining
He striked against the other centry and this one blocked his attack.
The centry tried slashing him back, but he flew to the side and avoided the attack. Taking this opportunity to attack the centry from behind, finally killing it.

On the other hand, Tain was still having problems with the lancer
He had to move from one side to another so he wouldn't get stabbed, and the speed of the centry was not helping.
The centry chargued against him while he was distracted, making Tain drop his sword
He cursed as he avoided the constant attacks of the centry
He tried going in search of his sword, but the enemy didn't let him
The centry threw it's spear at him, hitting him on the leg. Fortunately he could take it out, followed by hisses and cursing
The centry grabbed another spear and charged again, this time Tain took an impulse and flew higher, making the centry hit the wall and get stuck with it's spear
Tain took the chance and used the spear to hit him to strike at the centry, winning the battle and going for his sword.

Teal was face-to-face with the husk centry, both gripping their sword/nail with strength
The husk started running and tried slashing Teal, but he blocked the attacks, almost getting hurt at the third strike
He jumped over the centry and hit it on the leg, making it fall to the ground
The centry used it's nail to hit Teal and make him slip, falling to the ground too
Both stood up and charged against each other, the sword and the nail made a sound of metal against metal.
Teal grabbed the centry's free arm and decided to cut it without mercy.
The centry let out an angry yelp and tried directly stabbing Teal, who used his wings to take fly and avoid the attack
He finally took a last strike against the centry, stabbing it's chest and letting it fell lifeless to the floor.

Tara was walking on circles with fear, her siblings were out there fighting strong enemies.
Are they ok? Are they hurt? Are they dead?
Trix: Tara! You're making me dizzy, stop doing that!
Tara got out of her trance and stared at Trix
Tara: Sorry... Iam scared for our siblings
Tare: Will they be ok...?
Tori: Iam sure that they are. They won't get defeated so easily.
Trix looked around and suddenly stood up
Tara: Trix? What are you doing?
Trix took out her whip and started walking
Trix: We're not alone. I sense it.
She went into the hall and saw 3 husks.
Without thinking it twice, she got rid of each one using her whip, which had spikes so she could use it as a weapon
After grabbing the geo, she went back with the siblings at the safe area

Tase was exhausted, but the heavy centry seemed to still have lots of energy
Because of the height of the centry, avoiding the attacks was a lot of work
She slashed the centry many times, but it seemed to not get hurt at all
She took advantage of the slow speed of the centry and ran away to avoid It's slash and charge another attack
She started to think a way to get rid of the centry, her attacks didn't seemed to do anything to it, so she had to try something different
The husk chargued against her and she climbed to the wall, making the centry crash into it, breaking the wall and falling to the ground
She jumped and fell over the centry, grabbed her weapon and got closer to It's head. She coldly ripped it's head of with her weapon, grabbing the geo and leaving.

Tote was surrounded, the husks were all around him
He had few munitions, so he had to be careful and calculate what he was going to do
He climbed into a plataform and threw a mini-bomb at a small group, causing them a great damage
He felt something grab his feet, it was a jumping husk that was trying to drag him out of the plataform
Tote quickly used his knife and cut the husk's hand, making it fall to the floor with the rest of the enemies
He jumped off the plataform and started to run away. The husks agglomerated and followed him.
Tote saw one of these exploting bugs in the ceiling. If these bugs explote when they sense It's enemy... maybe he could get rid of the husks with it
He got ready and threw a rock at the bug, which got startled and went towards him
Tote quickly hide behind a pilar and the husks got hurt by the explosion
But the pilar also got affected and it started to break, if Tote didn't leave soon he would get trapped
He started to run the fastest he could as the stones started to fall
The other siblings also noticed this and started to run towards the 'safe zone'
The stones fell and blocked the paths of each of them
Tote tried pushing the rocks away, but he couldn't
The only choice they had is to separate

Tote: Guys! Can you hear me?
He yelled from the hall that he was trapped in
Tara: Tote!? Is that you!?
Tote: We need to separate!
Tara: WHAT!? NO WAY!
Tote: We hace no choice! We can't move the rocks, so if you hear any of our siblings, tell them to leave on their own. We'll see each other soon, I promise!
Tara: B-But- I can't leave you here!
Tote: We'll be alright Tara! Now go and tell the others, come on!
Tara: Tote...
Tori: Tara! He'll be ok, let's go!
He grabbed her arm and ran off, followed Trix and Tare
They handed the order to the other trapped siblings, now they were on their own.
Tara was about to have a panic attack as Tare and Trix tried to calm her down
Tara: They could be hurt... they could be in danger... and I can't help them with it...
Trix: They're ok. Be hopeful, Tara. Now we must take care of ourselves, let's go.
Trix took the lead now, time to keep going. They'll see each other sooner or later.
