The Preforming Warriors
Flik just managed to rip the Harvester off his back and throw it near the offering rock he then ran to the Ant hill only for his Stomach drop when he heard a large smashing sound he turned and screamed when the whole offering began to fall into the nearby water despite his best efforts it all fell.
"Oh….noooo." he muttered before spastically screaming while running towards the Ant Hill, "PRINCESS ATTA, PRINCESS ATTA PRINCESS ATTAAAAA!" he screamed as the Grasshoppers descended.
E-H E-H E-H
In a nearby trailer a couple of bugs buzzed only for one to see a nearby bug light.
"HARRY NO! DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHT!" the other bug yelled.
"I can't help it." Harry replied in a trance "It's so beautiful!" ZAAAP "WAAAHH AAAAAAHHH!" electrocuted he screamed falling as Sora and Co appeared checking themselves over.
Sora was a brown colored ant with blue eyes his crown pendant hanging from his neck, he had his pockets which hung from a red belt around his waist,
Kairi was an Ant as well but she was a crimson red with violet eyes her necklace hanging around her neck a purple belt was around her waist where her way finder hung both of them had wings.
Riku was a silver colored praying mantis he retained his aqua colored eyes though his wings had blue and black tips.
Crystal was now a purple colored wasp her stripes were an orchid purple while the rest of here was the color of her hair her antenna streaking back her wings were a pale sparkling grey with her teal eyes, "Okay this is weird."
Roxas was a gold color with a small black and white pattern on each side of his shell he retained his wrist band on his right arm his antenna were wind swept just like his hair had once been before becoming his own person his wings were also white with black veins, he was a Pine Sawfly "Another transformation….probably the worst." He sighed,
"Aww Don't be such a drag I think we look pretty cool." Ven stated he was now a green colored Dragon fly with silver patterns on his chest were stripes, his wings were a gold color as was his antenna which also were windswept though didn't give the same familiarity that Roxas's did he had his belts and insignia along with his green Wayfinder hanging from a black and white checkered belt he too retained his wrist band.
"You think everything's cool." Roxas chided.
"No I don't." Ven argued,
"Guys don't fight!" Xion stated she was now a Moon Moth she now had very pale grey wings with a purple rim and black and white spots the tips had a silvery grey and they extended down a little she retained her pink choker while her head and body were black.
"Wooow." Roxas muttered staring prompting Riku to give him a small bop making the former Nobody turn on him with a growl to which Riku merely replied with a smirk.
Namine came out she was a butterfly with white wings and pastel shaded colors making up various circle and stroke patterns the her body and head were gold.
"Namine you look great." Ven stated then covered his head and moved away from Riku where Crystal bopped him. "What you do that for,"
"Nothing." Crystal joked with a sweet smile,
Aqua was now a blue and black spider with silver feet she also wore her belts with her Blue Wayfinder hanging as a necklace her head was black with a blue triangle pattern, "This is weird I'll admit it's weird having eight legs….or six legs two arms whatever."
"At least you're not a beetle." Terra muttered they all gathered around to look at him and Goofy Goofy was a Rhinoceros beetle he had a green shell with an orange stripe down the middle the rest of his body was black his nose was now a large horn with two more on the top of his head other than that the rest of his head looked normal even his hat sat there like nothing happened except his ears were gone.
"Goofy's a Rhinocerous beetle." Sora stated,
"I'll admit this is kind of cool Ahyuck!" Goofy cheerfully replied,
Terra on the other hand was pouting he had two large pincer like horns on near his mouth the rest of his body was a brown color with gold and red streaks shooting down like comets on his back he had a black belt where his Wayfinder hung he too had retained his belts, "I look ridiculous." He muttered,
"I think you cool Terra, you're a Stag Beetle." Ven complimented,
Roxas arched an eyebrow "You-"
"Be Quiet!" Ven stated shooting a stop hand sign to his face.
Mickey looked himself over he had red top and black underbelly his hands were gloved but looked more insecty his legs were much longer with yellow feet he rubbed them together to make a chirping sound his antenna had two large circles on top with his head looking like his normal head other than that, "Huh I'm a Cricket fancy that."
They heard a buzzing as Donald came over he had his normal head but it was so fuzzy it looked like a circle with his hat on top he didn't looked impressed with his form and crossed his arms which were blue with white tips while his legs were yellow he was mostly white with blue stripes. "Humph."
"Don't be like that Donald you're a cute a bumble Bee." Kairi told him,
"No I am not." He replied simply.
"This is the weirdest transformation yet do you ever get used to Transforming I mean I thought turning into an Anthro-animal was weird," Novato replied as he came out he had a navy shell with cream boarders a pair of wings that were blue with dark navy splotches and his legs were blue one arm however was black. "What am I?"
"I think you're an Assassin Bug." Crystal replied then thought for a second, "Good thing you're a boy and no you don't want to ask."
"Has anybody seen Lea?" Xion asked,
"WHAT THE HECK?!" came Lea's voice at last coming out was Lea he had large leaf or sunray shaped wings six of them the top two and bottom two were tipped with red while the ones in the middle were pure orange though they all had greyish black spots his two red antenna started from the bottom of his chin and went past his head his eyes were their usual green with one line for a pupil his head was black while his hair and chest were white he had black arms and blue and black legs with grey spots his abdomen was pretty thick, "WHAT AM I SERIOUSLY?!" he stated.
"A Moth?" Sora offered,
"Yeah that much I got but which one I've never seen any Moth like this!" Lea stated,
"Maybe you're an undiscovered moth or maybe some mutant moth from another world either way you're pretty cool!" Sora stated,
"Yeah right if this is cool then you see dead people." Lea deadpanned,
"That's like what a unanimous vote of dislikes?" Roxas asked Ven smugly.
"Well you think everything sucks so Meeeeh." Ven replied sticking his tongue out.
"I do not!" Roxas snapped,
"Guys don't fight let's just find the fragment besides it's gonna be cool to be a bug for a while." Sora stated.
After some practice with the new forms Sora went under the nearby trailer then gaped amazed, "Whoaaaa you guys have got to see this!" he stated happily,
The group gathered around and awed all the garbage underneath the trailer had become a large city with bugs going in an out running around.
A leaf falls down in front of the screen several bugs come and eat at it they leave it when a bird's silhouette passes over the image of a large tree and small island appear as we see that words were chewed into the leaf
[Ant Island]
Sora was looking around he kept bumping into people and apologizing, "Aw man I can't watch where I'm going and look around at the same time it's so cool I never would've imagined a world like this." Sora stated in awe.
Kairi smiled watching Sora glance around eyes wide with a smile like he was five again, a Mime saw him and began to imitate not only him but the others as well.
"Wow this place is like Twilight Town, or Radiant Garden maybe even Disney town!" Ven stated,
"It looks a little too urban for those but it reminds me of Waverly Place." Xion stated as she looked around,
"Stop copying us!" Riku snapped when he noticed the Mime copying them Sora however once again bumped into someone,
"Ohhf!"
"I'm sorry!" Sora stated,
"No I'm sorry!" the ant replied he was wearing a leaf and nut made camping set,
"Who are you?" Ven asked,
"My name is Flik and I'm on a mission see I'm looking for tough warrior bugs I represent a colony and-"
"I'll show you who's tough!" Yelled a voice as a hornet kicked a beetle out of a nearby bar at least that's what it looked like. "AND STAY OUT!" he shouted before flying back in.
"Alright Tough bugs!" Flik stated before running off.
"And we're officially chopped liver." Crystal muttered,
"Should we let him go in there by himself, it looks like this is his first time in a big city like this." Terra asked,
"Maybe, Flik doesn't strike me as street smart." Crystal replied as she charged up a right hook the Mime doing the same "Also that might be where the gate fragment-" Crystal suddenly let the punch loose though turning her head at the last minute while the Mime knocked himself out he spun before falling. "Is"
The followed the eager ant into a bar within the bar where he was talking to some beetles nearby were a bunch of depressed circus preforming bugs who had been fired for botching a dangerous act,
"Fired by a flea how humiliating!" the Stick bug Slim groaned,
"Let's face it we stink." The Lady bug Francis muttered,
The green caterpillar Heimlich was scarfing down his meal in depression, "Someday mmm I'll be a beautiful butterfly nomf and everything will be better."
Gypsy the Moth nodded in sympathy as she sadly looked around,
"You fired!"
"You Fired!"
"You fired!" the two Pill bugs stated they spoke a different language but that had become their new favorite phrase annoying Rosie the black widow,
"Oh would you two shut up!" she growled in exasperation.
"You fired!"
"You fired!" the two merely replied pointing not really getting that they had lost their jobs and by extension their way of life.
"I can't believe we must break up the troupe has always been together." Gypsy sighed,
"Farewell my friends," Manny her husband a Praying Mantis like Riku but green stated as they all raised their drops of water,
"To the audience we'll never have." Francis sighed,
"Anybody else hear a Helicopter?" Nova asked as he heard something ruining the moment, he turned to see a couple of flies come in as did Slim recognizing them instantly.
"ACK Francis your boyfriends from the circus are here!" Slim stated Francis turned to see them and a giant buff fly that looked like it'd be about the size of Terra's thumb in their regular size to a bug it was the same as some muscle bound thug going to beat a human up Sora, Nova and Roxas were even a little frightened by the size.
"What you do insult them?" Nova stated realizing that the flies wanted Francis,
"Looks like it." Sora muttered,
"Oh yeah probably said something like they fly around a horse's butt all the time or something." Roxas stated,
"Don't make me hurt you brats who are you anyway?!" Francis spat making the three back away from him.
"Uh I'm Nova that's Sora and that's Roxas." He replied pointing to the respective people.
"Well this here." One of the flies stated having heard him," Is our pal Thud, and he wants to talk to that girly bug about what he said to us at the circus."
"Yeah something about flying around a dung heap!" the other one added while the big one snarled looks of horror crept over the circus bug's faces as did it creep over the faces of Sora, Nova and Roxas.
"Uh oh." Sora muttered quietly, "Come on let's be civil here I mean I'm sure it was all just stress and something's were said and AHH!" Sora had been grabbed by the wings by the bigger fly "attached to me, Attached to me SO IT HURTS!"
"Hey put him down!" Roxas growled only for him and Nova to get grabbed the same way.
"Uh oh what do we do?!" Rosie hissed,
"The Robin Hood act!" Francis hissed,
"Ooh I want to be little John." Heimlich stated,
"What part can I play?" Slim asked though he wouldn't like the answer,
Flik on the other hand had just been rejected by the beetles he had been talking too,
"Tough luck huh?" Ven asked,
"Oh hey you guys again maybe you can help me, Listen as I was saying I represent a Colony of ants and-"
"Stand back Villains!" Francis shouted making Thud drop the three in surprise Sora cast Curaga on their wings and they let them buzz just to see that they still worked, "We are the greatest Warriors in the land!"
"Warrior bugs!" Flik stated excitedly,
"Chopped liver once again" Crystal muttered sweat dropping,
"My sword!" Francis stated, Rosie tossed him Slim who had a deadpan look on his face,
"Swish, swish, clang, clang thrust sheen and glimmer." He muttered flatly,
"Little John!" Francis called as Heimlich now wearing a hat with a toothpick for a weapon and swishing it around.
"What ho Robin Justice is my sword and truth shall be my quiver!" he stated thrusting it closely at the flies. All the other patrons in the bar including the staff and the heroes minus Roxas, Sora and Nova were backed out of the bar wanting to see this,
"What's going on in there?!" Flik shouted,
"Sora!" Kairi shouted as they tried to get back into the bar to no avail.
"Kairi!" Sora shouted but the three were knocked against the wall,
"Swish parry plunge!" Slim stated only to be grabbed and roared at, "Me thinketh it's not working!"
However the group began to get backed into a corner with Sora, Roxas and Nova, and then tried to run however the combined and sudden weight on the one sighed sent the thing rolling.
Riku and the others rushed after it with Flik trying to follow but they were way ahead of them when the can came to a stop several Heartless appeared they looked like black hornets with navy stripes and the Heartless sigil on their heads ,
"Great trouble." Riku growled as the group summoned their weapons,
"DARK AURA!" Riku shouted cutting through the Hornet Heartless giving it everything he had, to mow them down quick as were the others,
Lea severed through several with a fire cutter while Xion froze then Shattered several with a Blizzaga Ars Arcanum combo. Mickey had cut down several while Donald used a Vineaga spell to crush one he was fighting, Goofy's Goofy Rocket had helped to mow down several more that appeared,
"CRITICAL IMPACT!" Terra shouted as he used his increased power to squish several,
"THUNDER BOLT!" Aqua shouted zapping several that appeared Flik was trying to get past the fight so he could get to the can only to be cornered by the final Hornet that had been killed by Ven.
"You okay Flik?" Ven asked,
"Ye-Yeah Whew that too close." Flik sighed as they all rushed towards the can where Riku could hear a voice.
"Help, help get me out of this!" Slim shouted as Francis pulled him out the others started to climb to help Sora, Nova and Roxas were all in a heap as they stood up with the circus bugs and climbed to the top of the pile just as Francis pulled Slim out the whole thing ended up looking like a dramatic scene of epic proportions as a light shone and heavenly music played.
"Anybody else feel like they're on a manga cover?" Sora asked rubbing his head,
"YOU'RE PERFECT!" Flik shouted they all turned to him, "OH Great ones I have been scouting far and wide for Bugs of your exact talent!"
"Gasp a talent scout!" Gypsy stated,
"I don't dance." Terra whispered,
"But he means all of us!" Ven whispered back,
"My Colony is in trouble we've been forced to prepare all this food!" Flik stated,
"Yeah he needs performers." Crystal muttered while Manny got every excited as did Heimlich but for different reasons.
"Dinner Theater!" Manny cried,
"FOOD!" Heimlich called,
"PLEASE!" Flik stated getting on his knees and scuttling towards them on said knees " WILL YOU HELP US?!"
Sora rubbed the back of his head not wanting to disappoint Flik as he wracked his brain on how to explain things "Uh Flik these guys will do just fine but me and my friends we're not really-"
"ooooh." Thud moaned as the flies emerged from the pile as Sora turned from brown to white balancing.
"Where are they?" one of the flies asked,
"MY SWORD FOR THEE!" Sora sang loudly,
"To the ant hill!" Nova shouted,
"Yes, yes we'll take the job!" Slim shouted as the circus bugs plus Sora and Nova rushed the others out Roxas trying to keep up.
"You can explain the rest on the way!" Slim stated as Flik was seated on Dim with Mickey, Rosie, Aqua and the two pill bugs,
"Alright everyone break a leg!" Rosie stated,
"Wow you're vicious!" Flik said excitedly taking her literally,
"Hold on you guys!" Dim stated as they all flew off everyone else in Sora's group had wings so they were able to fly,
"AMAZING THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!" Flik stated excitedly laughing a little bit,
"We're just gonna have to explain when we get there." Sora muttered as he flew beside Kairi,
"It won't be so bad we might even be able to help." Kairi replied,
After a couple of hours the group was flying over a field Ven was flying close to Dim to listen in on Flik's explanation and was in for a shock when he heard about how the Colony was oppressed by a gang of Grasshoppers lead by a ruthless one named Hopper and that he had accidently lost the offering due to one of his inventions,
"Crap! He needs us to help not the other way around!" Ven gripped in his thoughts.
"So you see it was my fault that Hopper's coming back." Flik explained to the Pill bugs while everyone else was off doing something different or just watching the scenery, "But Princess Atta boy is she one in a million! She let me go out and find out and after seeing you how those flies and monsters were fought off are those Grasshoppers in for a big surprise!" Flik stated laughing,
The Pill Bugs merely laughed they didn't understand a word that was said,
Ven gaped this was not good he flew in closed and caught their attention, "Hey you guys speak English right?" he asked there was a pause before they pointed at him,
"YOU FIRED!" they shouted before laughing Ven gulped in response flying ahead,
"Definitely not good!" He thought.
Eventually they saw a large tree in the middle of a dried up pond the leaves were now all different colors as fall and winter were approaching Flik smiled, "This is it this is Ant Island!" he stated,
XD XD XD
Despite how close to the season it was it was still hot the sun beat down on the Ants as one who was collecting a piece of grain fell.
"Doctor Flora!" Princess Atta yelled she was purple with a green leave tiara with a small fragment of grain for a jewel with wings like Kairi and Sora had,
"Oh goodness not another one!" said Dr. Flora who rushed over with Thorny he was in charge of keeping count of the food gathering and supervised a lot of projects.
"This is ridiculous!" Thorny stated, "We'll never make double quarter before the last leaf falls!" he stated,
"We have to try Thorny we don't have any choice!" Atta replied as the worker Ant was carried away to get treated,
"Yeah I know." He replied with a sigh at least Flik was out of the way once the exhausted worker was gone he suddenly heard a buzzing as did all the other Ants "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" he shouted as the Ants panic and scattered hiding as the Circus bugs set themselves up in a pyramid,
"Tada!" they all shouted while Sora and his group looked around,
"There's no one here." Nova stated,
"Do you think our Shadows melded and made a big one?" Crystal asked,
Manny sighed, "Once again our reputation precedes us." All of the circus bugs looked let down, however Flik jumped right off of Dim's back,
"Hey guys everybody HEEEY I'M BACK!" he shouted,
"FLIIK!" coming out of nowhere was a young queen ant with a baby set of wings jumping to give Flik a hug, "I knew you could do it!"
"Who is this?" Aqua asked,
"I'm Dot," she replied,
"I'm Sora this is Riku, Kairi, Crystal, Donald and Goofy."
"Names Lea this is Roxas, Xion and Namine got it memorized?" Lea asked pointing to his head as she nodded,
"I'm Novato or Nova."
"I'm Mickey."
"Donald…errr Bee." He muttered a little grudgingly at the end,
"Names Goofy."
"Terra."
"I'm Aqua Dot."
"I'm Ventus call me Ven."
"Francis."
"Dim."
"Rosie those are Tuck and Roll."
"HEEY!" the two jumped in response to their names earning a small laugh from Sora and Dot,
"Heimlich."
"Major Manny I out rank everyone here remember that."
"My name is Gypsy."
"Slim the stick bug." He replied the same way Donald did he didn't mind being a stick bug though being cast as a prop annoyed him to no end.
"Flik?"
"Yeah it is him!"
"I can't believe it!"
"He really did it!" this was among the murmuring as the ants crawled out of their hiding places Atta had just come up and was shocked to see Flik standing around a bunch of bigger bugs some looking very vicious especially the one that was some kind of strange moth,
She wandered towards the group and Flik beamed as soon as he noticed her, "Hey guys this is Princess Atta she's the one that sent me to find you!" Flik stated to them.
"Hello Princess!" Sora waved,
"Hello." She replied with a forced smile then instantly turned to Thorny and Dr. Flora,
"He wasn't supposed to actually find someone!" she hissed so Flik couldn't hear,
"Who cares have you seen these guys those Grass Hoppers are done for sure!" Thorny stated there was some yelling Lea's wings had set a nearby blade of grass on fire which Aqua and Donald quickly put out,
"Magic and that guy can make fire with his wings!" Thorny stated, "Princess we've got nothing to worry about!" Thorny said as he and Dr. Flora and a couple others went for a closer look.
"No, no, no, wait this was not supposed to happen!" Atta hissed but went ignored,
"Can your wings do anything?" one of the younger ants asked Gypsy,
"Yeah check this out!" Flik stated as Gypsy fanned here wings to show a face like pattern making an elderly Ant jump back,
"OH my Ticker!" he stated but had to admit that was impressive,
Namine in curiosity had Ven and Kairi check the back of her wings, "You don't have a face but it looks like if you flapped your wings a bunch of times we'd get a hypnotizing pattern." Kairi told her.
Tuck and Roll rolled over to Dr. Flora and popped out, "HEY!" they stated,
"Oh my you just pop right out there don't ya!"
All of the younger ants had gathered under Dim, Rosie was quick to warn them "Kids careful he's very ticklish careful!"
Dim began laughing and stopping causing the kids to scurry out from under him screaming,
The Queen ant with a more regal crown then Atta's laughed while holding her pet aphid impressed, "You came through my boy Aphie and I are impressed." She stated,
"So Princess Atta what do you think?" Flik asked,
"Impressive." She replied before turning to the others,
"This was not supposed to happen we don't fight Grass Hoppers!" she stated,
"We don't but they will." Thorny replied, "They're our ticket out of this mess!"
"What are you supposed to be?" a young Boy Ant asked Slim,
"He's a stick you hit bugs with it." his friend stated rolling his eyes,
"Ah that's an over simplification-"Slim went to reply when Francis grabbed him,
"That's right Kids look!" he stated whacking Heimlich in the head,
"Ow." Slim stated as he was put down once that was over he noticed that princess Atta was still very nervous which made him worried he turned to Francis,
"The Princess isn't impressed if this keeps up we'll lose the job!" he hissed,
"I'll fix it sweeten the deal!" Francis replied flying to the top of Dim's horn, "You're majesty!" he called, "Ladies and Gentlemen Children of all ages our troupe guarantees a performance like no other why when your Grass Hopper friends get here we are gonna KNOCK .THEM. DEAD!" he stated with the Ants Cheering in response.
"Uh oh that reminds me, guys we have a bit of a problem." Ven stated, "remember how we were kind of nervous thinking we'd be putting on some kind of performance yeah turns out Flik needs warriors he got those guys by accident."
"We've got to tell them I'm sure we'll get this straightened out in no time." Sora replied optimistically.
Two Hours later….
Sora's group sighed as they couldn't get a word in edge wise even to the circus bugs the ants had put together a special party in their honor.
"At least the music's good." Goofy offered,
"True!" Sora agreed both him and Flik were drumming to the beat of the music Sora was even humming Kairi giggled at this.
"Yeah but what are we gonna do when they find out." Mickey asked re-catching her attention, the rest of Sora's group was nervous as was Atta but for different reasons something her mother the Queen noticed,
"Honey relax you should be proud or yourself your instincts about that boy were right on the money." She stated Atta merely smiled and tried to relax as much as she could, truth was only her and the royal council knew the mission had been a Snipe hunt to get Flik away from the island so they could have a better chance of meeting Hopper's demands the Queen didn't know this "And to make our Welcome official, Mr. Soil."
"Yes your Highness." A tall Ant replied coming forward,
"He's our resident Thespian last year he played the lead in Picnic." The Queen told Gypsy laughing a little.
"The Children and I have put together a little presentation Dot, Bree, Daisy, Grub." He called as Dot and a couple of her Class mates came forward with a large wrapped up leaf Flik waved and she quickly waved back and stood attention as one of the kids came forward shyly.
"The South Tunnel Middle School second Grade Class, would like to present you with this a mural we have drawn of you bugs helping us to chase the Grasshoppers away."
The Circus bugs were shocked by this they wanted Warriors not performers to their shock and horror and what was on the Mural didn't help.
It was crudely drawn but graphic Sora had stabbed a couple of Grasshoppers with his Keyblade Kairi used light to incinerate one while Riku sent one to another dimension with Darkness obviously Flik relayed a few details to Dot.
Dim was eating a grasshopper, and most of the other Circus bugs were beating Grasshoppers up in some way Nova squashed one literally Aqua was using some kind of Doom Spell on one with Donald smacking two with his staff, Roxas cut several in half Xion was among those beating up Grasshoppers fisty cuff style as were Mickey and Goofy.
Namine had dropped one to their doom as had Gypsy.
Lea was flapping his wings to set a Grasshopper on fire and one Grasshopper was swelling and dying after being stung by Crystal and Terra had a couple of Grasshoppers in his jaws crushing them there was blood and bodies everywhere to top it all off.
"Oh look at the pretty colors….and the blood." Rosie muttered,
"And the Death….and the blood." Crystal muttered,
"Blood was said twice." Riku muttered in a flat tone he was pretty shocked,
"Flik told us about what some of you can do." Dot said then pointed to one particular picture," we also drew one of you dying because our teacher said it would be more dramatic." The one dead in the picture was Ven who had been cut in half and decapitated in the picture.
Aqua and Terra gasped and quickly looked over to Ven who went pale making a small strained squeak with Sora looking at him with a cringe that was when Mr. Soil came up with a harp, "I tell a tale of how our brave heroes vanquished our Grasshopper foes of old!"
A kid wearing a leaf costume merely fell over, with two ants with no costume pointed, "Look the last leaf has fallen!"
"We are the Grasshoppers WHERES OUR FOOD!" said several kids in large masks,
"Who will come to save us poor ants!" the other ant cried,
"We are the warriors here to defend you!"
By the final part of the play Francis and Rosie stared in horror Slim was comforting and shielding the eyes of Heimlich Gypsy watched depressed while Manny comforted her Sora and Co all had the same expressions on their faces wide eyes with gaping mouths in horror not unlike the one Ven had back in Monstropolis when he thought Boo had gone down the garbage shoot.
"And die, die, die, die, die!" the final actor stated before falling the entire colony broke into applause while Francis fainted, the only non-ants who liked it were Tuck and Roll who laughed and clapped,
"That was….uhhhh." Sora muttered being the first to move.
"Atta's making an announcement." Xion stated as Atta stood up as she did Flik grabbed a piece of grass and twisted around to make a megaphone.
"I would like to thank- THE WARRIORS-"the Megaphone had been stuffed into her hands Flik with a large geeky grin gave her a double thumbs up. "I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE WARRIORS FOR HELPING US IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE GRASSHOPPERS." She stated the ants cheered while the circus ants started to fight about who was gonna tell Flik, "I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK FLIK FOR HIS FORETHOUGHT-"
"THANK YOU YOUR MAJESTY!" Flik stated as he took the Megaphone, "SURE I'D LIKE TO TAKE ALL THE CREDIT BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS YOU PRINCESS ATTA!" Flik stated as Atta became very embarrassed, "YOU BELIEVED IN ME AND GOT ME TO GO ON MY QUEST!" he shouted,
"You knew?!" Slim hissed at Sora,
"We thought he needed you guys and we've been trying to tell someone sooner but no one would let us get a word in!" Sora defended,
"Tell him we're not warriors!" Rosie stated,
"We're not even fighters!" Francis stated,
"Alright, alright." Sora replied going over to Flik tapping him on the shoulder,
"I'VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES IN THE PAST AND I HOPE THAT THIS WILL MAKE UP FOR not now Sora I'm doing a speech." Sora shook his head and whispered in Flik's ear or at least where his ear would be, "No there's no circus around here SO I HUH?!" Flik replied just reworking out what Sora had said 'the troupe are circus bugs' he turned Sora gave him a small nervous chuckle pointing behind him.
Flik horrified watched as Fancis juggled and when he finished Slim, Rosie and Heimlich made a 'tada' gesture, "AAAH Princess the warriors have called for a secret meeting about the Grasshoppers so they can circus-circumvent a away to trapeze- TRAP the them with EASE!" he stated,
"Shouldn't I come too?" Atta asked,
"NO!" Sora stated getting in front of Flik who quickly went to shoo the troupe out as the rest of his group got up to follow "You can't its top secret we need talk about stuff A.S.A.P it's B.Y.O.B ya see we need to follow the extremely strict code of A.B.B.A so bye!" he stated running off.
"Sorry, Sorry, Sorry I have to take the warriors away so soon but duty calls." Flik stated as they disappeared away from the party.
Atta raised an eyebrow, "What?"
With Sora and Co….
"B.Y.O.B, A.B.B.A?" Riku asked, "That's what you came up with?!"
"Those were the first things that came to mind what's wrong with them." Sora asked raising his hands in defense everyone had gathered Flik had to keep Atta from following while the heroes and the troupe angry waited for him.
"Okay one anagram you told her means Bring Your Own Beer (or Bring Your Own Barbeque), and the other is the name of a seventies Swedish music group." Terra stated,
"One of my mom's CD's that's where I got the name from!" Sora stated in revelation.
"CIRCUS BUGS?!" came Flik's voice at last "I thought you were warriors how can you be circus bugs?!" he stated,
"Hey you said nothing about fighting Grasshoppers pal you lied to us!" Francis stated,
"Yeah!" the others agreed,
"What are you kidding?!" Flik yelled,
"This is kind of funny if you think about it." Crystal offered,
"NO! What this is, is false advertising!" Flik stated,
"HOW DARE YOU!" Manny roared, "You sir are the villain in this scenario posing as a talent scout preying on the dying embers of our hopes dreams and souls GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!" he stated walking off,
"Wait!" Flik stated,
"I SAID GOOD DAY!" Manny shouted turning back once again as Tuck and Roll both slapped Flik in the face then going to leave with the others.
"Guys wait!" Ven shouted running in front of them, "No one was conning anyone you thought he was a talent scout." He said before turning to Flik, "And you thought they were Warriors it's all a big misunderstanding."
"Right and that's why it's funny!" Crystal stated,
"Please give me time I'll come up with something." Flik begged the troupe.
"Just go tell them the truth." Heimlich replied,
"Yeah Flik it's not as bad as your making out to be they may not be warriors but we are we can help you." Aqua suggested,
"Yeah so you'll be nine bugs short, our group can more than make up for the difference." Roxas added,
"So I waltz back up there and tell the entire colony with the Mega Phone, "Hey everybody listen nine of our Warriors are actually clowns but that's okay because the other thirteen are real warriors IS THAT WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO?!" Flik yelled,
"Not in that creepy cheery fashion but yeah basically." Lea replied,
"NO WAY!" Flik shouted swinging his arms in an X motion "I can't do that they can't know the truth I will branded with this mistake for the rest of my life my children's Children will walk down the street and people will point and say 'look there goes the spawn of Flik the loser'!" he shouted pointing to emphasize his point,
"That's only if you get married." Nova stated getting a glare from all the others minus Dim, "What."
"UUHHHHH!" Flik groaned slinking down to his knees,
"Oops forget I said that I meant no offence!" Nova cried waving his hands around,
"No, no no." Flik said raising a hand, "You're absolutely right all of you just go…but do me one favor." He said pulling up Terra's foot and placing himself under it, "If you could just squish me when they find out I'm as good as dead." He stated waiting for the end,
"I'm not gonna squish you Flik." Terra replied moving away from the inventor Ant.
"FLIIIK!" Atta called,
"It's Princess Atta." Namine stated,
"Someone needs to stall her!" Kairi stated but no one moved, "Thanks for being so reactive." She muttered sarcastically as she flew over to Atta's voice,
"I really think I should be part of this meeting hello!" she called as Kairi found her looking less than pleased,
"Uh Princess Atta!" Kairi stated,
"I would like to speak to you so called Warriors." She stated,
"Uh you can't I'm sorry but the meeting is top secret even Royalty can't know about it the strict code were using is vital to effectively preform the trap." Kairi replied,
"NOOOO DON'T GOOO!" came the disheartened cry of Flik,
"Uh heh, excuse me." Kairi sweetly smiled before taking off,
"No wait!" Kairi cried out a couple minutes later,
"I am waiting, what is going on!" Atta stated coming in anyway and finding no one at the edge of the island Flik jumped up Flik and was hanging from Slim,
"Please I'm desperate!" Flik stated,
"Really I couldn't tell!" Slim snapped sarcastically,
"Flik just let them go you have us!" Sora stated as the heroes flew after Flik and the troupe almost all the way across the dried up lake,
"Flik stop your being ridiculous!" Kairi shouted catching up to them Roise was shouting at him to 'Drop the stick' much to Slim's chargin however Flik saw something else a feather and a nest.
"RUN!" he shouted running as fast as he could back to the island.
"Wow he sure runs fast for a little guy." Heimlich mused
CRASSSHHHH! What felt like a small earth quake or harmless explosion caused them to turn behind them now fifty feet tall by bug standards was a red and yellow Finch bird.
"TWRAAAAHH!" a horrifying sound poured from its beak what was a harmless musical tweet to a human was now a Horrifying roar that put the T-Rex to shame,
"Oh crap." Riku and Crystal muttered together.

I know what you're thinking somewhere an Bug Scientist is crying well he has less to cry about before I get called out for giving Sora wings I want to point out some Male Ants have wings they're called Drones also unlike his Pride Lands and Lyat System forms all of Lea's forms in this story have Fire for a theme the bug one was originally going to among those without it here's the story
I had completely forgotten about Volcarona's existence when I was Playing Pokémon white I wandered around the Relic Castle and eventually found Volcarona and failed to catch it that night I had some kind of dream about it I can't remember what it but I woke up deciding to make that is Bug's Life form which keeps the fire theme the bird form could reference a Phoenix now that I think about it
As for why his picture in the Mural has him incinerating Grasshoppers along with the accidental fire he caused
Pokémon White Pokedex Entry: A Sea of Fire engulfs the surroundings of their battles since they use their six wings to scatter their Ember scales
