The Wasp Chronicles #1: Into the Hornet's Nest

Hornets in the City: Wasp War I

Louis: We finally got back home but things went from bad to worse.  Regular hornet nests began to rapidly increase in size.  Sure, Darkwile probably didn’t survive the Hornetians, but this was the work of another.  Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted some crazy madman controlling the hornets to do his bidding.  “Professor Edin Nathaniel!” Clément said.  “That’s who that crazy lunatic is?” I asked.  “Yep.”  “How is he able to control the wasps?”  “That’s a mystery not even I can solve.”  “I’ll tell you how!” an eerie voice announced.  It was Nathaniel.  “As a matter of fact, I’ll even show you.”  After he said that, he started to mutate and sprout in size.  “Why is he growing so rapidly?” Jacques asked.  “Yeah, why is that?” Sophie asked.  “Look out!”  Kara yelled.  We turned around and saw a vicious swarm of ferocious hornets hurled at us.  We tried our best to fight them off, but there were too many.  Suddenly, Nathaniel grew multiple arms and a pair of wings.  He decided to grab Sapphirine, Sophie, Stella, Amy, KJ, Blossom, Véronique, and Helen and swallowed them whole in that order.  Joel, Clément, Jacques, and I decided that we had to stop him right then and there.  “Hey, what if we destroy the hornet nests that grew in size?” Clément suggested.  “Then maybe it might turn the hornets against him and weaken his powers.” Jacques added.  “Yeah, but, what do we do about the Hornetians and bloodthirsty zombies?” Joel asked.  “Well, we can handle the Hornetians… wait what?” I said.  “The bloodthirsty zombies!” Joel repeated.  “What bloodthirsty zombies?” I asked. “Those bloodthirsty zombies!” he answered.

We all turned around to where he pointed and saw the other band members, the teachers, the LEHS students, and the principals coming towards us like the undead.  “We have to find a way to stop them since they’re being brainwashed by that crazy scientist.”  “Good thing I came prepared.” I said holding up the Jade of Time.  As I was holding it up, it started to glow bright green, and Nathaniel spit the girls out.  “Run!” I shouted to them.  While the Jade of Time was glowing, it was affecting Nathaniel by speeding up his mutation process.  Thus Nathaniel transformed into a disfigured creature: he had the body of a hornet, eight arms, two legs, four enormous wings, and his normal head with crazy looking white hair except for the two antennae attached to his head.  “I am VespaZilla, and I come to destroy everyone on this planet starting with those at LEHS that defy me!” he bellowed.  Right then, I knew we had to defeat him once and for all.  But right now, we needed more power to defeat him.  Then I remembered something—the eggs.  “Clément, are the stolen eggs and the two eggs I had still inside the bag Marc had?” I asked.  “Yeah, but they’re still on the island!” he answered.  “Okay, here’s the plan. Clément, the sophomores and freshmen will hold off Nathaniel and his zombie minions while you go back to the island to retrieve the eggs.  Meanwhile, I have to get to prom and see if the invasion has reached there and prevent it from further spreading.” I told him.  We went our separate ways.

            At the prom, chaos was already coming to ruin everything.  Before the chaos started, I asked my prom date, Sapphirine (Yes it is the same Sapphirine), who was sitting at a table, to dance with me on the dance floor without telling her of the eminent danger.  Everything seemed fine; a slow song began to play and we started to slow dance.  It was magical, until an evil Hornetian decided to crash the party.  He flew towards Sapphirine and blasted me away from her. Then he grabbed her and zapped almost everyone there.  Luckily, Jacques was there to help me fight.  I told the DJ to play a fighting song, while Jacques and I fought this demented Hornetian. “Who are you?” I asked him.  “I ma Apsevalliz, s’apsevregit ymenehcra (Translation: I am ZillaVespa, Tigervespa’s archenemy)!” he said in Hornetian.  “Well ZillaVespa, you’re going down!” Jacques declared.  I know Jacques is a black belt in tae kwon do, but this ZillaVespa was stronger than he was and countered every move he made.  Apparently, this guy was trained by Ancient warriors in hand-to-hand Hornetian combat.  I tried using the Spear of Fates on ZillaVespa, but he broke the spear and sent me flying in the air.  Now it’s time for me to unleash the powers that Tigervespa gave both me and Clément.  All of a sudden, he called out his henchmen.  One of them was holding Marc’s girlfriend while another was holding Sapphirine. Suddenly, I felt a power surge that was fueled by fury and rage.
