As Stan was gearing up to start exterminating, Steve the neighborhood bully came walking down the sidewalk and stopped in front of Lucas's house. Steve didn't see Lucas hanging around the yard, so he guessed he was hiding in the house. He felt like causing some minor trouble and fear, so he reached into his pocket and pulled out some tiny firecrackers and a lighter. Steve lite some firecrackers, though he missed lighting one and he hurled them at the yard. The tiny firecrackers exploded and Steve called out to the house.
"You can't hide in there forever! When I see you again I'm going to give you a super wedgie!"
Feeling satisfied Steve left the scene. The one firecracker that didn't explode laid in the grass not too far from the ant hill.
At the ant hill the ants were trying to come up with a plan to fight Stan. One problem they kept coming to was Stan's height. Stan was simply too big for any of the ants attacks or weapons to have any full affect on him. What the ants needed were some wings, which unfortunately they did not have. Lucas thought about this and came up with a crazy plan.
"We need the wasps to help us."
"You're crazy!" Said Zoc.
"They're the only fast flying bugs with wings capable of carrying us to fight the exterminator. We're going to need all the help we can get." Said Lucas.
"His right. Look I'm not a fan of the wasps either, but this is bigger then us or the colony. All the bugs who live here are in danger and we need to set aside our differences we are all going to die." Said Hova.
"Fine. I'll go ask them for help." Said Zoc.
"It's my idea, so I'm coming." Said Lucas.
"Then I'm coming as well." Said Hova.
The three of them set out from the ant hill and headed to where the wasps lived. On the way there Lucas made a makeshift flag out of a twig and a leaf and they came across the un-popped firecracker Steve had thrown earlier. Lucas made a mental note of it as they continued on to the wasps's home. They soon came across a dry and dusty part of the yard. The group felt like they were being watched as they heard faint buzzing noises in the air.
"We come in peace!" Called Hova.
"We just want to talk!" Said Lucas waving his flag.
A bunch of wasps popped out of the surrounding area and surrounded the trio.
"What do you want ants?" Demanded one wasp.
Hova stepped forward and addressed the wasps.
"I know our people have had our differences over the years, but right now we need to put our past and differences aside and work together. A great cloud of death is coming and intends to destroy every last one was of use including our young ones! The only change any of us have of surviving this is by joining forces. So please help us."
The wasps seemed unsure what to make of these words, but before they could respond, another wasp came flying in and crashed near the group in a heap. The other wasps went over to their down friends side and asked what happened.
"The...west colony...was wiped out by a cloud of death! It was created by a...giant and it's coming this way!" Gasped the wasp.
Lucas went over and drew a flammable warning symbol on the ground.
"Did you see anything that looked like this?" Asked Lucas.
"Yes." Croaked the wasp.
"Rest now comrade." Said one wasp.
"Alright since the threat is real. We will help you." Said another wasp looking at the ants.
"Good because I think I might have a plan to save us all." Said Lucas.
The wasps were now helping the ants fight.
