Queen Atta called an emergency meeting for the sudden abduction of Princess Dot and the whole colony showed up because they were worried about their young beloved princess. King Flik was still furious about the grasshoppers kidnapping his beloved sister-in-law and was ready to fight them to get revenge for what they did. The circus bugs knew he was upset and worried (but I think Atta was more stressed out than he was) but they couldn't really calm him down because Flik and Atta were about to make their speech to the colony about Dot's kidnapping. Atta looked at Flik, "Why did Hopper take her??" Atta asked, "What could've she done to get herself taken hostage by the stupid grasshoppers??" Flik looked back at her, "I don't know, but I don't think they were trying to get Dot..." He replied. Atta made a confused look on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"The note said 'If you want HIM back'! They probably mistaken Dot for someone else!"

Atta got concerned, "Do you think they mistaken Dot for-."

Atta was cut off by Mr. Soil entering their room. "Sorry to interrupt, but the whole colony is waiting now." He said, before leaving the room again. "We should go." Flik said. Atta sighed and nodded and the two left their chamber to go to their meet with the colony.

Flik took the mic he invented and gave it too his mate who was going to speak first. Atta sighed and began to speak to the colony about Dot's abduction. "Thank you all for coming to this meeting." She began, "If some of you don't know why I called this meeting, I called it because last night: My sister, Princess Dot has been kidnapped by the grasshopper gang!" Some of ants gasped in shocked. "I don't know why the grasshoppers took her, she never did anything to get herself taken-." "They probably mistaken her for someone else!" Flik cut her off and taking the mic out of her hand, "The note that was left on her bed was referring to male instead of a female. Either they took her by accident, or whoever wrote that note made an error." Atta then took the mic back from him, "He could be right, but right now we need to find a way to get my sister back before anything bad happens to her! I don't want them to hurt her!" Atta was then about to give the mic back to Flik, but to her surprise. He was gone! Atta got concerned and stopped the meeting to go find Flik and see if he's okay.

Atta found Flik in his room packing up! "Flik what are you doing!?" She asked, shocked. Flik screamed and jumped a little, "Atta!" He exclaimed and immediately tried to hide his backpack. "Are you packing??" She asked. "Umm... no?" He said, sheepishly.

"Then why are putting stuff in that your backpack?"

Flik hesitated, but decided to tell her truth. "Okay fine! I'm packing!"

"Why??"

"I'm going to go find Dot!"

"But how?? We don't even know where the grasshoppers took her!"

"I know!" A voice said. Flik and Atta turned to see Molt, "I can take you to our hideout where she could be." Flik smiled and went back to packing. "Flik you're not going alone!" Atta said. "I'm not going alone, I have Molt to guide me." Flik replied.

"I mean, the grasshoppers might overpower the two of you and get you both taken hostage too! I feel like more than just you two should go too!"

"I guess you're right, the circus bugs can come!"

"And me! I want to be there in case something happens!"

Flik looked at his wife, a bit nervous, "Okay then..."

Just then, the Circus Bugs came running into the room. "Flik, Atta!" Francis said out of breath, "You left everyone hanging!" Flik, Atta and Molt looked at the Circus bugs, "We're going to go find Dot!" Flik told the Troupe. "But how? You don't know where they took her!" said Slim. Flik then stood up from the floor, "Molt says he knows where the gang took her, so we're going to follow him and see if he would take us to Dot." He explained to them. "We?" P.T asked. "I'm going and so are you guys." Atta told them. "Oh I don't think so Your Majesty's!" P.T told the King and Queen, "My Troupe is not going anywhere! And you shouldn't be leaving either! Who's going to look after the colony if you two go? Just forget about the Princess and care about the colony!" Everyone glared at P.T. "Do you guys have a dungeon in this anthill?" Rosie asked. Flik and Atta nodded while Rosie smirked, "Are you able to throw this flea into the dungeon?" P.T looked at the black widow spider in disbelief, but Flik and Atta mischievously smirked at each other.

P.T Flea was thrown into the dungeon until King Flik, Queen Atta, and The Circus Bugs returned with Princess Dot. The Royal Council Members were left in charge until they're King and Queen returned. "Molt, are you sure you know where they took Dot?" Atta asked. "I think so." He replied, "I mean I don't think they would move hideouts because Hopper refused to move ever since our mom died. That hideout holds so many memories about her to Hopper! And to me..." Flik, Atta, and the Troupe stared in shocked. "I have never felt so bad for Hopper, until now..." Flik said. Everyone else nodded in agreement. Molt started to get a bit sad, but shook it off and changed the subject. "We should get going." He said, "That young princess isn't going to rescue herself!" "Well..." Flik and Atta said a bit shy. "She has become more tougher these past few years, I wouldn't really be surprised if she saves herself..." Atta said, "She was really inspired by Flik's courage when he stood up to Hopper all those years ago." Flik let out a small blush. Molt was a bit surprised, but as he was to say something, Slim spoke up, "So... are we gonna to save Dot? Or not!" He asked. "We're leaving, now!" Flik replied and then faced Molt, telling him to lead the way. Molt spread his wings and flew off the find the Grasshopper's Hideout, followed by King Flik, Queen Atta, and the rest of the Troupe. The colony waved goodbye to the colony and hoped that they would return and with Princess Dot.

Flik the sighed, "Hang on Dot, we're coming for you!" He mumbled.

Otis and the five other grasshoppers arrived back at the hideout, they were pretty excited to see Hopper's reaction when he's sees that they (seemingly) captured Flik. "Hopper! We got him!" Otis called as he held the sack in the air, Hopper approaches but seemed confused. "That sack seems to be a bit smaller." He said, "The ant is much taller than that... Open it!" Otis and the five grasshoppers got nervous and confused, but they opened the sack, only to not see Flik, but they instead saw Dot! "What the-?" Hopper exclaimed, "That's not him! You took the stupid little princess instead!" Otis and the five grasshoppers made an 'oops' look at each other, "Sorry Hopper!" Otis said, "It was dark and we couldn't see what room we went in or who we grabbed... we did hear the ant about to scream, but we weren't paying attention and didn't noticed it sounded like a little girl..." Hopper angrily pinched between his eyes, "Why do I have idiots for henchmen?" He questioned himself and then looked back at Dot; who was terrified. "But wait." He said, "She's his best friend-." "Actually!" Dot cut him off, "I'm his sister-in-law!" Hopper made a shocked look on his face, "He married your sister?" Dot nodded.

"So he's King now?!"

Dot nodded again. Hopper started to become angry, but quickly calmed down and went back to being serious. "Since you two are pretty close, taking you might lead him here!" Hopper said, evilly smirking, "And when he arrives, I'll kill him!" Dot gasped, "No please!" She begged, "He's loved very much by me, my sister, and the colony!"

"I don't care! My goal for a while was to kill the leader of your colony!"

"Killing him might make everyone feel how you felt when you're mom died!"

Hopper eyes widened and he took a small step back. Dot realized what she said to him and immediately tried to take it back, "Oh my gosh..." She mumbled, "I'm sorry, it just slipped! I just don't my brother-in-law to be killed!" Hopper looked at her and then looked at Otis, "Get her out of my sight!" Otis nodded and picked up Dot and took her away. Otis placed her in a small cage the grasshoppers built out of twigs and leaves and sat down next to her. Dot looked at him, "Has always been like this? Or was he like this ever since his mom died?" She questioned. Otis looked at her, "He's always been like this, well I'd say he was not as bad as he was before... yes he was abusive, mean, and kind of a bully. But it all became worse when his mom died, so I'd say he's mixed of Pure Evil and Broken."

"I do feel bad for what I said, well maybe a little bit, but is killing my brother-in-law going to bring back his mom?"

Otis just shrugged his shoulders, "I asked the same question, but all he did was glare at me. I've known Hopper ever since we were kids and he hasn't really changed, well maybe a little when his mom died, but he's just straight up a bully. He likes to humiliate everything that was smaller than him, but he mostly like to pick on ants because they're pretty strong, but he didn't want them to think that all because of them being 10x smaller than us grasshoppers. Sometimes I joined in with the bullying, but I knew it was wrong, but I did nothing because I didn't know what would Hopper think of me being afraid of bullying ants. And it was also my idea to kidnap your brother-in-law, so it's my fault you're being held prisoner. I just wanted to try and change Hopper's mind on killing your people." Dot almost felt like tearing up, "So you don't like being part of the gang?" "Not really.." Otis replied, "But don't tell Hopper, who knows what he'll do to me if he finds out I'm a traitor like his brother, Molt. Dot looked at him, surprised, "Wait, he knows that Molt betrayed you guys?" Otis nodded, "I don't know how, I guess he's just extremely intelligent."

Just then, Hopper called Otis' name. "Sorry, princess." He sighed, "I have to go, we can have another talk later if you like. Or maybe I can get you out of her." Dot nodded, "Whatever you're able to do!" Otis the got up and walked off to find Hopper. Dot sat down in her cage and gazed up, "Oh, Flik! Where are you?" She asked, "I miss you already!"

Molt, Flik, Atta and the Troupe were still flying to the hideout. They were all pretty tired, and it was nighttime so they decided to stop and take a rest. "I'm sure Otis will take care of Dot." Molt said. Everyone looked at him, "Who's Otis?" Atta asked. "He's Hopper's 'best friend', and he's the nicest one in the gang. He never really enjoyed torturing the ants, all he wanted to do was help the ants, but he was afraid on what Hopper would do to him if he found out he actually likes helping other bugs. Although, Otis doesn't anything to happen to Hopper and the gang either." "Oh he sounds like a sweetheart!" Gypsy said. "Maybe we can take him to our colony so he can become our official protector!" Flik said. Molt chuckled, "I'm sure he would like that!"

Just then, a strange sound was heard! Everyone got up and looked around and saw a Lizard! He was a green lizard with a long tail, big blue eyes, and had some blue marks around his eyes and he also sound a little like an elder. The lizard looked down at the bugs, "Oh! Hello there!" He greeted them, the bugs were a bit scared and Flik made an awkward wave. The lizard laughed, "Oh you don't have to be afraid!" He said, "I don't eat bugs, I think they're too adorable to be eaten! Oh and my name is Gecko by the way!" Flik slowly approached the lizard, "Hi Gecko." He greeted shyly, "My name is King Flik and this is my wife Queen Atta and these are our friends." "Nice to meet you." He said, "May I ask you what are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?" Flik was about to speak up again, but then Atta chimed in, "You see, my little sister was kidnapped by a gang of evil grasshoppers and we're off to try and find her and bring her home!" "Grasshoppers?" Gecko questioned, "I thought they're friendly!" "The ones you saw probably were friendly." Flik said again, "But the grasshoppers who took my sister-in-law were not friendly!" Gecko the yawned, "Well I would love to help, but I am old, and it's late, and I'm tired, so..." Atta sighed, "We didn't ask for you're-" Before Atta could finish, Flik covered her mouth with his hand. Atta, annoyed, removed his hand from her mouth, "I was trying to speak facts!" "Well now is not the best time..."

"What do you mean? He thought we were asking for his help!"

Flik and Atta then started to argue while Gecko sighed, "Married couples..." He sighed, "I'm glad I'm not married."

Rosie came and then broke up their argument, "Look, Mr. Gecko." She said, "Their leader Hopper is scared of Lizards and maybe since you don't eat bugs, you can make Hopper release Dot by scaring him!" Gecko thought, "I never been asked for help before!" He said, "Well I would hate to be selfish so why not! After I get my beauty sleep!" Gecko then fell back asleep. Flik and Atta stared at Rosie, "What? He could help us save Dot!" "We didn't ask for his help!" "Well I asked for his help!" Rosie snapped back. Flik placed his hand on Atta's shoulder to tell her that it's ok, while Atta just rolled her eyes

Meh... I'm never proud of my chapters. But yeah, we met Gecko! Will he be able to help Flik, Atta and the Troupe save Dot? And maybe convince Otis to join them?
