Weaver carried Thumper's seemingly lifeless body to the throne room. Azteca followed him
"I'm so glad you're okay," she said.
"What's going on?" the queen asked.
"The grasshoppers are gone," Weaver said. "This one went down during a bar fight."
"What was it doing in the bar?" the queen asked.
"Same thing that everything else was doing. He got wasted. Speaking of which, can I use the waste disposal hole?"
"To dump the body out?" Princess Bala asked.
"Yes," Weaver said.
"Go ahead."
Weaver threw the grasshopper into the hole. He would be out of the colony in a matter of seconds. A minute later, Cutter and Z appeared.
"Z!" Bala said. "You're back."
"I told you I'd come back to you," Z said.
"What's the news, General Cutter?" the queen asked.
"The grasshopper leader, Hopper, is gone. I'm pretty sure that he will never come back here. What happened to his pet, Colonel Weaver?"
"He was knocked out. We've already gotten rid of the body."
"Are you certain that he was dead?" Cutter asked.
"I think so," Weaver said. "If not, he won't ever want to come back. He follows Hopper."
"True," Cutter said.
"You've done a great job cleansing the colony of these grasshoppers," Bala said. "I believe that a royal celebration dinner should commence tonight."
"You wanna eat with them?" Weaver asked Azteca.
"Sure," Azteca said.
"We'll all be sleeping soundly tonight," Z said.
"Yeah," Cutter said. "The same can't be said for Hopper. He will fear ants for the rest of his life."
