"General?" Hopper said. "Since when do ants have generals?"
"It may also surprise you that ants have colonels," Weaver said.
"You've got popcorn kernels?" Molt asked.
"Shut up!" Hopper said.
"Shutting up."
Hopper looked around.
"Where are Axel and Loco?" he asked.
Molt shrugged. He didn't speak because it would have upset Hopper.
"Go outside and look for them," Hopper said.
Molt flew out of the garbage chute. Hopper turned back to the ants.
"You don't want to mess with me," Hopper said. "You see this scar on my eye? I've seen things."
"As have I," Cutter said. "I am willing to bet all the drinks in the colony that I have more combat experience than you do."
"That's a pretty bold bet, sir," Weaver said.
Hopper faced his grasshopper gang.
"All of you search the colony for any food. Thumper and I will handle these guys."
Hopper's grasshopper gang flew over Cutter and Weaver. They made it outside of the room. Cutter looked at one of his soldiers.
"Get as many soldiers as you can to stop those guys. The rest of you stay here."
"Sir, yes sir," the soldier said before running off to complete his task.
Cutter, Weaver, and four other soldiers were left to face Hopper and Thumper. Thumper was the first to make a move. He charged towards the soldiers and managed to bite one of them in the arm. The soldier dropped his spear. The others tried stabbing Thumper with their spears, but he was too fast. Weaver dropped his own spear.
"Get over hear you ugly monster freak," Weaver said.
Weaver managed to jump on top of Thumper, almost crushing him. Weaver punched Thumper three times. The white grasshopper managed to get Weaver off of him. He picked one of the other soldiers and flew out of the room. Weaver ran out and watched as the soldier was dropped from high above. Hopper flew and landed right in front of Cutter. He threw in a punch. Cutter tried getting him with his spear, but Hopper got a hold of it and tossed it aside. Hopper tried punching Cutter again, but Cutter dodged his fist. He got behind the grasshopper and kicked him in the back. The two unwounded soldiers by the entrance nearly gave Hopper two more scars. Hopper was quick enough to avoid their weapons. Hopper flew up and aimed to crash onto Cutter.
"Cutter, look out!" Z said.
Cutter rolled away before Hopper crashed down onto the ground. He jumped and stood on Hopper's back. He swung his fists at Hopper's head. Hopper flapped his wings and shook the general off of him. He flew close to the throne and grabbed Bala by the left arm.
"Let her go!" the queen said.
Cutter stood up and gazed at Hopper and Bala.
"One more move and the princess gets it," Hopper said.
"Not this again," Bala said.
