Zoc watched Lucas flee into the grass with a satisfied smirk on his face. He then turned around and headed into the ant hill. Zoc found Hova in a chamber with Fugax and Kreela. Kreela was tending to a leg injury Fugax had gotten during the trip into the human home. The two sides ants seemed to be flirting. Hova looked over at Zoc and a look of confusion crossed her face as she looked behind him.
"Where's Lucas?" She asked.
"Oh you don't need to worry about him. I took the liberty to banish him." Said Zoc with a grin.
"You did what?!" Cried Hova in shock.
"I got rid of a threat. I made sure to send the Destroyer away, so he could never return to his full size. He will never threaten any of us or the colony ever again." Said Zoc.
"Lucas wasn't a threat to us! Ever since you shrunk him down, his been making an effort to be an ant and be a member of the colony!" Yelled Hova.
"He lead you all into danger!" Yelled Zoc.
"He was trying to help us get more food!" Yelled Hova.
"The kid was messing around with something strange, while we were getting the food." Said Fugax.
"Well whatever he was doing, I think he had a good reason. It seemed urgent and I think Lucas was trying to protect the colony." Said Hova.
"Can't you see his blinding and tricking you all to be on his side!" Yelled Fugax.
"The only one I see here is you Zoc. You are so blinded by your hate for humans that you choose to ignore Lucas's efforts and deeds since he arrived. I see a young pupae trying to learn our ways and if you can't see that then your truly blind." Said Hova as she, Kreela, and a Fugax left the chamber to go look for Lucas.
Zoc stared at the ground silently as he thought about what he had done and what Hova had said. He had banished a young being into the outside world, a being who didn't understand all the dangers that lurked out there and preyed on ants. A truly cruel act by Zoc. Perhaps Hova was right about Zoc being blinded by hate. Not every ant was the same and Zoc guessed humans were the same way. Lucas was making an effort and learning the ways of the colony. Spindle hovered by watching his master. Zoc let out a sigh. He guessed he should go help find Lucas and get him back to the colony.
"The things I do for love." Muttered Zoc as he left the ant hill with Spindle.
