Darla Discovers a Bug's Life

chapter 7

"Where's Dot?" Princess Atta asked weakly as she coughed. "Has anyone seen Dot?!"

Dot soon rushed out of the bird only to be stopped by Hopper as he grabbed a hold of her. "WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS, HUH?!" he then glared at the young ant princess. He soon looked at Princess Atta.

The older ant princess gasped from his gaze.

"Was it yours, Princess?" Hopper glared.

"Get behind me, girls." Princess Atta told the Blueberry Scouts.

"Leave her alone, Hopper!" Flik's voice soon called out. "The bird was my idea... I'm the one you want."

Hopper soon snapped his fingers, signaling the violent grasshopper. Thumper snarled and soon attacked Flik when Hopper signaled him. Atticus came to Darla and Amber and soon came to protect them.

Cherry struggled to get down since her parachute got caught, and when she got unstuck, she soon landed by them, but she stood back up like nothing happened. "Uh, hey, guys." She then said.

"Cherry, glad you could drop in." Atticus said.

Cherry rolled her eyes and did a rimshot gesture. Hopper soon watched as Flik was beaten up horribly by Thumper.

"STOP IT!" Darla glared as she tried to go and stop it.

"Please!" Amber begged.

"Where do you get the gall to do this to me?" Hopper sneered at the inventing ant.

"You were..." Flik struggled as he tried to stand up. "You were gonna squish the queen."

The ants gasped as they turned to Queen.

"It's true." Dot added.

"I hate it when someone gives away the ending." Hopper commented before allowing Thumper to kick Flik.

"Flik." Amber frowned.

Flik soon managed to stand up, but was still a bit weak. "Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers," he then uttered out to the big bad Hopper. "I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year, they somehow manage to pick food for themselves, and you. S-So who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers. It's you who need us."

Hearing this caused the ants start muttering to each other.

"We're a lot stronger than you say we are, and you know it... Don't you?" Flik soon concluded much to Hopper's own shock.

Hopper soon punched Flik before getting ready to squish him.

"Atticus, why aren't you doing something?!" Cherry cried out.

"Don't worry, Cherry, karma will get to Hopper soon." Atticus promised her.

Princess Atta soon rushed out to protect Flik.

"Well, Princess..." Hopper chuckled.

"Ahem." Cherry smirked as she soon saw the other ants looking firm.

Hopper soon looked over to the other ants and they looked majorly angry and fed up with him. "YOU ANTS, STAY BACK!" he then demanded.

However, the ants did not move and kept glaring at the grasshoppers for all of the years of abuse.

"Oh, this was such a bad idea..." Molt muttered nervously.

"This is going to be so entertaining." Cherry smirked.

"Can I be scared of her now?" Amber asked about Cherry.

"I think we all are by now." Darla said to her best friend.
