The Army Ant minions had not responded to General Army Ants command to "Get 'em."
"Oh that's right, you fellers don't speak English." He closed his eyes and had a look of pure concentration on his face.
One of the Gus-Bots zoomed towards the General flying just barely above the hundreds of mutant clones, but as soon as he was above them their arms shot up and pulled him down and out of view, since he wasn't one of them they assumed he was an enemy. Several dozen Gus-bot and hover bike pieces were thrown away after a few seconds. The general had two fingers on each temple now and he was biting his lip to better focus. Finally the army of ant monsters froze, and in one eerie motion they all turned to the robots at the exact same time. They all dropped onto their stomachs and with their six arms they quickly scurried towards Robot-Boy and company like a tidal wave.
The THM (Tree-House Mech) jumped between them in a mighty gesture, they didn't even veer to avoid The THM, but rather climbed straight up and down it as they were doing with anything in their way. They began swatting at the Army Ants but not one swipe was effective. When the ant monsters were hit by the THM half kept going forward the other half latched onto its limbs and climbed down its back. Soon the THM was toppled over merely by the weight of the Army Ants.
"They ain't after you I told 'em to get the robots. That's just another strength ants have unflinching loyalty, and utter resolve to follow their orders no questions asked."
"They can't talk so they can't ask questions. And yo man wouldn't that make you their Queen?" Gus mocked from the THM. The original Army Ant snapped his fingers,
"You two with me I wanna hurt the plump one." He pointed out the Sergeant Army Ants standing next to him on both sides. He pushed a pair of buttons on the outer side of the heel of his boot and his double-gangers mirrored his action.
Robot-Man and Robot-Boy flew back to avoid the charging enemies. The Gus-Bots used up all their blasters energy and waited while they were over taken by their enemies, until BOOM each of the remaining Gus-Bots exploded in multiple gigantic blasts, sending near a hundred of the Army Ants flying several miles. But it didn't slow the beastly ants down by that much and they went back to charging without wasting even a moment to dust off. Robot-Boy and Robot-Man took to the skies, to avoid the mindless hoard.
"Great," The original Army Ant frowned and folded his arms, "well don't just float there, go ground them robots." The Sergeant Army Ants flew past their leader using the micro rockets in their boots which was allowing General Army Ant to float over the THM.
"He sends merely two enemies to defeat us? Stand back Master Robot-Boy I will have this wrapped up in a jiffy. Have at you!" The Army ants each pulled out four cylinders one in each hand as tall as a soda can but about half the diameter. Robot-Man flew unflinching unafraid, until all eight of their wrists flicked and all the cylinders became three foot long batons which sparked with electricity then Robot-Man froze. "This was not the best idea."
Robot-Man let out a scream as the batons electrical charge sent him into a cataclysmic systems failure. Robot-Man shut down, his eyes went dark, and he fell from the sky. Robot-Boy prepared to battle the Sergeant Army Ants himself when something caught his attention.
General Army Ant stood at the door to the Tree-House Mech. "Knock-Knock." He said with a chuckle before slamming a pair of fists through the bottom of the closed hatch door. "Fine, you won't open the door; guess I'll just have to let myself in." He grabbed the door with the fists that created the pair of holes, and his other pair of hands reached in grabbing on to the bottom of the door frame. He had ripped the door completely off, when he saw Tommy rushing towards the door way with a fire extinguisher. Army Ant leaned his face closer to Tommy. "Let me guess you're gonna spray me in the face."
Tommy said calm and simply, "No." Then he slammed the fire extinguisher down on one of the hands Army Ant had on the door frame. Army Ant reeled back rubbing his hand and cursing under his breath. Tommy then tossed the fire extinguisher by the hose sending it hurdling towards Army Ant's face. Before it made contact though Army Ants other pair of hands shot up and caught it. Army Ant pulled the top of the extinguisher off it shot out a white stream of liquid for a few seconds then army ant crushed it like it was made of aluminum foil. "That's very intimidating." Tommy jumped up and smacked a red button next to the hatch opening, and several metal bars went horizontally across the door way, similar bars went across all the windows as well.
"You think that's gonna-AAAAHHHHH!!!" He let out a scream as soon as he touched the bars which gave him a nasty electrical shock. Army Ant tore himself from the bars and scowled at Tommy behind the doorway. "Okay I get it y'all wanna play. Well I got a game for you." He pulled out a large gun from behind his back. "What type of ant am I?" A small flame flickered on in front of the guns barrel. "I'm A Fire Ant!!!" He pulled the trigger and a blast of fire erupted from its barrel.

Bjorn Bot flew into the air on the hover bike. He flew past a fleeing CHOP, who he mostly ignored and then gave the metal shredder who CHOP was running from a hard kick, right below the beak sending it spiraling backwards.
"Th-thank you," CHOP said with a happy look on his face.
"Don't mention it." Bjorn Bot said mostly ignoring CHOP (again) and flying onward to Protoboy. Protoboy and Claus were still dead even. "Protoboy quit messing around and tear him a part."
"Stay back. I cannot destroy him, he is perfect." Bjorn Bot sighed he expected a response like this.
"You only thank he's perfect because he has your body, but if it were you fighting that pathetic exoskeleton it would already be over." Even though he couldn't talk being Bjorn Bjornson's servant for so long taught him how to rub somebody's ego the right way. "So why is this fight still going on?"
"It is because he has a pathetic mind and I have a pathetic body." Protoboy's response made Claus upset, but what made him more upset was that Protoboy wasn't focusing on the battle and they were still dead even.
"That's very true," Bjorn Bot lied. "But the main thing that sets you and Claus with your body apart is that Claus can't Super Activate." Protoboy face showed his shock then it showed evil pleasure.
"You can't Super Activate, than you are just a weak imitation of me, like Robot-Boy." Bjorn Bot rolled his eyes and groaned silently. Protoboy snapped his fingers, and his hand was replaced by a huge blaster. Claus gulped and attempted to Super Activate a couple of times while Protoboy's weapon charged. Protoboy fired his blast disintegrated Claus' chest plate and half of his right robotic arm. Protoboy smile turned to a look of shock when Claus appeared an inch in front of his face. Claus had slipped out of Protoboy's upper body to save himself. He used his scrawny fingers to turn off Protoboy's belt. The exoskeleton retracted and Protoboy began to fall. Claus smiled holding one end of the belt but he almost lost his robot legs when Protoboy grabbed the other end.
"You can't hold on with your weak little arms." Claus said between grunts of effort.
"I was just going to say the same thing human." Claus put his end of the belt between his knees.
"Ha, what will you do now weakling?"
"Don't worry Protoboy I'll save-" Bjorn Bot was unable to finish his sentence, as a giant beak was suddenly protruding from his chest. "Well that can't be good." The Metal Shredder let out an ear shattering shriek which ripped Bjorn Bot in two and sent the two halves flying.
"Bjorn Bot? NO!!!" CHOP said quietly but clearly angry.

Robot-Man fell with empty lifeless eyes to the legion of ant creature. When suddenly a large metal hand grabbed him palm against his back. The hand looked like a metal trash can lid painted brown with a few jagged pieces of metal stuck in for fingers, and the elongated arm which stretched off in to the distance looked like a sewer pipe painted orange with black stripes. Robot-Man was snatched less than a mile above the ants and he was pulled away so he was no longer over the ant beast, which was good because the hand didn't stop him from hitting the ground. The Army Ants charged after Robot-Man who was being still being dragged away from them. Halfway through the process of being dragged away Robot-Man began to restart, and he wasn't happy that he was being bounced around and dragged into trees but he granted that it was better than the alternative since he was being dragged away from the vicious Army Ant monsters. Robot-Man was dragged a few miles away before he was pulled through the door of a semi-truck.
The man in the driver's seat was wearing a generic Green fisherman's hat complete with all the colorful fishing lures. "Whoo-wee I reeled me in a big un." Constabot said slapping his knee.
"Constabot? I don't have time for your games." Robot-Man attempted to stand up but still in the early stages of his restart he couldn't move his arms or legs and only managed to flop around a bit.
"What a beaut'." Constabot hooked a finger into Robot-Man's mouth to make his flopping even more fish like. He turned Robot-Man to the semi door he didn't crash though and took a Polaroid with his free hand. He tossed the camera out the window and vigorously shook the photo. "Look at that me, my catch of the day, and over a hundred beastly ant creatures in the background. Uh-oh." The photo and fisherman's hat flew out the window as the tanker sped away. The Army Ants followed close behind.
"Speed up sir they're gaining." Constabot pulled Robot-Man up so his head wasn't hanging out the door.
"I cannot do it captain I don't have da power." Constabot said doing a Scotty impression.
"We must lose them sir."
"But if we lose them then we'd have to waste time finding them again."
"Look out you buffoon." A second after this was said, the Tanker was speeding down the pier overlooking the parks lake.
"Don't worry I'll tap the break." They suddenly accelerated down the pier at a breakneck speed. "Oh wait that's the gas, don't worry I have it figured out now."
"Don't bother sir."
"Why?"
"WE'RE IN THE LAKE ALREADY!" The Tanker bobbed twenty to thirty feet out in the lake and was starting to sink.
"Oh, well what do you know, we are. Hey what are the odds of mutant ant monsters being able to swim, I don't think they'll be able to." A dozen sets of eyes glistened at the water's surface heading towards the cab of the semi.
