Cartoons Unite 2!: Defend Volcano Island!

Queen of the Myrmec Tribe

Camp Castaway

Colossus swung in her hammock made from her hair, the black demon hair strands wrapped around two sturdy trees as she strummed her guitar and sang softly, filling the air with a soothing melody.

Mabel and Star looked around, bored and hungry, while Timmy was still tinkering with the Rip Zipper.

Dipper, Jacob, and Marco were sitting at the table, engrossed in a game of cards. Pacifica was treating the island like a beach vacation, lounging around and snacking on fruit, while Wendy groomed her Crystal Hounds.

Suddenly, Mabel groaned and clutched her stomach. "God, I'm hungry! We haven't had any meat in a while!" she complained.

Colossus stopped playing her guitar and looked up, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Do you want me to get some fruit from that tree?" Star asked.

"That would be nice, but I wish we had something more filling," Mabel said, contemplating their food situation. "Do we have any more snake?"

Just then, Colossus heard the skittering of those orange birds sneaking around their camp. She looked up to see one of the birds run into the bushes once it was spotted.

Without saying a word, Colossus unraveled her hair and dropped to the ground on all fours. Her hair turned back into her natural orange color as she crawled around like a predator, her eyes fixed on the direction the bird had disappeared.

She made her way to the bush ready to pounce like a cat. Colossus arched her back, and her hair stood up as she stuck out her forked tongue, slithering around.

Colossus jumped into the bushes and wrestled with the bird, "SCRAW! SCRAW!" It started to yelp "SCR-" Snap! The bird's cries ended after a sickening crunch.

Colossus stood up, holding the dead bird with a broken neck, "Who wants dinner?" she asked walking over to Star and Mabel.

"Oh, thanks! That looks good!" Mabel said.

"You might want to look away for this part!" Colossus said, reaching inside the bird.

"What are you going to-" Mabel was about to ask until she watched in horror. Sclorch! Colossus ripped the meat right out of the flesh of the bird, dripping with meaty fluids.

"Oh," Mabel said, her face turning green with sickness.

After a while, the group was having a nice meal out of that bird now roasting over the fire along with the fruits they picked from the trees making a nice dinner.

"That was great Colossus!" Dipper admitted

"You take really good care of us when you have to," Mabel said,

"Of course, it's my duty to make sure everyone is fed," Colossus said, trying to downplay her role.

"That's my girl! Always looking out for us!" Jacob said then they all cheered as Colossus winced feeling guilty.

She didn't want to be seen as a leader, not after what happened with the demons. The fear of power corrupting her was always at the back of her mind. Plus she didn't want to replace Steven; he's the leader.

"I, uh, I gotta go call Steven," she said, trying to run off to the beach only to be stopped by the Wise old Hermit Crab appearing right in front of her.

"Leaving so soon?" the Wise Old Hermit Crab asked with a gaslighting smile. "Surely you can't when your team needs you on another mission."

"Sigh, No, I'm not leaving," Colossus said, her heart sinking as she thought about the possibility of taking up the mantle of a leader again. She walked back over to her friends.
