As Lucas and the other ants raced down the pipe towards the outside world, Lucas heard his Grandma cry out.

"Lucas! Come back here! Lucas! Take me instead you alien scum!"

Lucas realized that his Grandma knew about him being shrunken down and kidnapped. This was a bit of a shock for Lucas, but it really didn't help him. Lucas's Grandma wouldn't recognize him in his ant form and if he was still just a shrunken human, he would have been taken in by the government and experimented to figure out how he got so small. There could have been a change to return to normal size, but it would probably involve a bunch of painful test. Lucas's current situation wasn't ideal, but he supposed things could have been worst.

It was night time, when the group reached the ant hill. Zoc was waiting outside the hill and he cast a brief glare at Lucas before addressing the group.

"Where have you all been?"

"We went to the human home." Said Hova.

"You lead into danger!" Yelled Zoc looking at Lucas.

"He was just trying to help us collect more food Zoc. There was some danger and Lucas was just in much danger as us. No one got hurt and we're all ok." Said Hova getting in front of Zoc.

"Fine." Said Zoc calming down.

"Good." Said Hova as she kissed the side of Zoc's face before heading into the hill followed by Fugax and Kreela.

Lucas was fixing to follow the others, but Zoc blocked his way with his staff.

"Just where do you think you're going?" Asked Zoc.

"Into the hill since I live here now." Said Lucas.

"Oh no you're not. You are no longer welcome here human. You may have the body of an ant, but you will always be a human and never a part of this colony." Said Zoc.

"But..." Stuttered Lucas.

Zoc then pointed at a small bottle of blue liquid hanging from his staff.

"You see this? This is the potion that will make you human and return you to normal size. I just thought I let you have one good look at it, because your never going to see it again. I'm not going to give it to you, so you can be human and big again. Now I think you should leave and get help from somewhere else, because you will find no help here." Said Zoc as his staff glowed brightly.

Lucas's eyes went wide with fear as he backed up. He thought about making a mad dash into the ant hill, but he didn't wanted to be zapped by Zoc's staff. Lucas turned and ran into the grass away from the ant hill.
