Lucas and the others ran back to the ant hill as fast as they could. On the way there Hova noticed the gloom and guilty look on his face. Hova knew something was really bothering Lucas, but she didn't want to press him. The group soon arrived at the ant hill, where a good precent of the colony was in a panic. Some ants were staring off into the distance of Stan in outright horror, others appeared to be praying to the Mother for a salvation or a quick death, a few ants had gone into the fetal position and were quivering in fear, and few other ants were grabbing food and other belongings to evacuate the colony and go elsewhere. It was a scene of complete chaos. Hova looked over at Lucas, who looked more guilty now.
"This is all my fault." Mumbled Lucas.
"What do you mean?" Asked Hova as she went over to Lucas.
Zoc, Kreela, Fugax, and a few nearby ants also listened in on Lucas.
"I'm the one who brought the Cloud Breather here." Said Lucas sadly.
"You what?!" Yelled Zoc making Lucas flinch.
"Lucas tell us what happened." Said Hova trying to calm Zoc down.
"Before I was shrunken down I was approached by the man and he got me to sign a contract giving him permission to kill all the bugs in my yard. After I saw the picture of him in the colony I tried to call him off, when we went to my house for food. Something must have gone wrong and I didn't call him off." Said Lucas looking sad.
So that explained what Lucas was doing, while the others were trying to get food. Lucas had been simply trying to save the colony from a great threat.
"Lucas, why didn't you tell us about the Cloud Breather coming? We could have easily stopped him from coming together." Said Hova looking Lucas in the eyes.
"I was...scared that you and the others would be mad at me and that you would do something horrible to me. Then I would never be able to go back home." Said Lucas looking nervous.
"Oh baby it's ok, but you should have told us. If you did and promised never to harm the colony we would have returned you back into a human and returned you to your normal size, so you could call off the Cloud Breather. I know you were scared, but I promised you no harm would come to you." Said Hova.
"I'm...sorry." Said Lucas.
"It's alright." Said Hova.
"Not really." Muttered Zoc.
"It will be we just have to put all our heads together like a colony and figure out a way to stop this. We need everyone's help especially yours Lucas." Said Hova giving Lucas a smile.
Lucas smiled back and everyone began to brainstorm.
