The Massacre of the Ants, Escape

Anthony was currently running or crawling in one of the tunnels that leads towards the Chamber where she came from, She was very lucky that during her escape nobody notice her. This was what she thought but she wanted to believe that no one saw her escaping.

She looked around the tunnel and found it very quiet, She didn't know if the other chambers were overrun but it is impossibly for the kingdom to be overrun especially with the population of 500,000 and the soldier ants were 3% to 10% Percent of the total population.

Anthony was thinking positive about the situation she was currently in, She thought that this would be finished as long as the Main army arrives and destroys the Invader. She couldn't help but remember her comrades getting slaughtered by the ones that were supposed to protect the kingdom.

She looked around the tunnel she was currently in and decided to hide in some small burrow. She thought that it was better to be calm than being panic and the only way she would remain calm is to hide in a small burrow.

After looking around the tunnel she finally saw a small burrow that could perfectly fit her, She sighs in relief when she saw the burrow and head towards it. As she was in front of it, Anthony then got in the burrow while also covering the exit with dirt.

Anthony looked around the small burrow and found that it was too dark, She couldn't do anything about it and just focus herself on calming down. Inside the small dark burrow was Anthony, She was hiding in the monstrosities that were outside the small burrow.

'I don't want to go out.' Anthony thought to herself, She didn't want to go out of this burrow. She was now back to normal and calm but she was stopping herself from going out of the small burrow. She knew that she was a coward for not going out but she didn't want to die.

It was impossible for an Ant to reach the stage of self preservation due to the fact that they serve the colony with their lives. They won't bother to save their own lives since all of them would protect and make the colony grow into something bigger.

Self preservation would lead to many things and most of that things are bad things for the ants, Cowards in the face of nature is useless to the colony so if a self preserving ant was known they would quickly be killed by their own comrades.

This was a weird thing but considering that it was the primordial world, Weird stuff is bound to happen. It is up to you to set a limit of the possible and the impossible, They Manage to build an Ant colony with a population of 500,000 in one year.

This fact is very surprising and the fact that they also manage to create a society and speak an unknown language that was only known to ants makes it weirder than before. It was as if they were given the knowledge to survive in this world together and would always protect each other.

Anthony then remembered her comrades, They were killed mercilessly but they still kept fighting while she ran away from them costing their lives. She knew that it was impossible to save them and fighting the enemies was suicide for her so all she could do was go to the queen's chamber and protect the queen so that the colony could go on.

'I am not a coward.' Anthony thought to herself, She slowly destroyed the dirt barrier and she went out of the small burrow silently. She looked around the tunnel and was shocked at what she saw.

A lot of her comrade's body was all around the tunnel, There was a lot of organs, Legs, and possibly heads in the area. Blood or Hemolymph was splattered everywhere in the tunnel making it scarier and the horror of this tunnel was very scary.

'No!' Anthony thought, Her body was slowly heading back into the dark small burrow but before it could enter the Dark small burrow her body stop. She was frozen in the position between the Dark small burrow and the tunnel, While she was frozen she was thinking a lot of things.

'I must not be afraid, I am an Ant. We Ants are not afraid of anything!' Anthony shouted through her mind, Her shaking body was slowly going back to normal and after a while later her body was completely normal. She didn't feel any fear anymore she wondered what it was.

It is called bravery, After you overcome your self preservation instinct you could now call your self Brave. Bravery has many meanings but the reason why others would call people brave is that they have managed to overcome the fear and the self preservation instinct that was deep in our genetics.

'I need to find the tunnel that would lead to the Queen's chamber.' Anthony thought to herself while looking around the tunnel, She felt that the fear that was hunting her disappeared as if it didn't exist in the first place.

She was planning to find a tunnel that leads towards the Queen's chamber, She would protect the queen with her comrades and attack the invaders with their full strength as a colony. She thought that her plan was good until variables began hitting her without mercy.

'How do I do that? I cannot enter the Queen's chamber without entering the only tunnel that leads it.' Anthony thought, Her plan had many variables that could cost her life in exchange and she didn't want that.

The Tunnel that leads towards the Queen chamber would be filled with bodies from the enemy and the whole tunnel could be a battlefield for ants. She didn't want to pass that since she would have to pass the enemies from the other side as well.

'Okay, all I need to do is find the tunnel that is the closest to the Queen's chamber and make my own tunnel.' Anthony thought of a new plan which was plausible, She then thought about the many possibilities she could do with this plan.

'I could even make the tunnel as an Evacuation tunnel for our queen.' Anthony thought, The tunnel could be an Evacuation tunnel in case something goes wrong. Heck, she might even save her own life and possibly guard the queen while escaping.

Anthony was having delusions about her saving the day but this delusion is very dangerous especially when the problems come in front of Anthony, Thankfully Anthony didn't succumb to her delusions and focus on the problem that was currently in front of her.

'Where do I find the tunnel.' She then looked around the pheromones and manage to find a small tunnel that leads to another tunnel. The special thinking about this small tunnel was that it was very near the Queen's chamber and far from the main entrance to the queen's chamber.

'Let's go.' Anthony thought, She then began crawling towards the direction of the tunnel that was near the Queen's chamber. While heading towards the direction, She could see a lot of bodies from her Fellow comrades. She also notices that some bodies disappeared which means that her first theory was right.

'How do we fight something or someone that could revive or control the dead.' Anthony thought, She knew that the enemy was not normal and could somehow control dead bodies. She thought about it and only found that the only thing they could do was attack the attacker with their numbers.

She sighed when she thought about the plan to attack the enemy, There were a lot of variables in this plan to attack the enemy but the only thing ant knew was destroy the enemy with their numbers.

After a while of heading towards the direction, she finally arrives at the tunnel she was supposed to be in. It was a very small tunnel but it could possibly fit the queen and could be made into a good exit.

'Plan A.' Anthony thought as she began mining towards the direction where the Queen's chamber was supposed to be. She was too smart to be an Ant, Was she a genetic evolution. No one knows about anything in how Anthony manage to think this way and all it could do was think that it was one of the weird situations that always happens in the Primordial world.

She began making a tunnel towards the Queen's chamber and slowly head towards there with her tunnel, It took a lot of tunneling but as long as she could enter the Queen's chamber she would do anything.

After a while, In the Queen's chamber that was filled with ants. In the back of the Queen's chamber, dirt could be seen breaking apart. When the dirt fully broke apart an Ant could be seen, The ant was full of dirt and was currently looking around the Queen's chamber.

'I'm finally out.' Anthony thought as she slowly went out of the tunnel that was made by her, She looked around and found herself at the back of the Queen's chamber. She then heads towards the center to find the Queen Ant.

'I need to be fast.' Anthony thought, She crawled around the Queen's chamber and after a while of crawling around she finally saw the Queen. She stared at the Queen ant that was 6 meters in height and 20 meters in length with the Abdomen 1/3rd of the total length.

'My Queen!' Anthony shouted with her mind towards the Queen Ant, The Queen ant who was managing the ants that were with her notices the Small ant that called her. She knew that this ant was not here long ago and she also knew that this ant came from her colony.

'What is it, my child?' The Queen Ant sent a telepathic thought towards the small ant that was calling for her. Anthony was very happy that her call was heard by the Queen Ant and quickly reported the situation.

'We are under attack, The whole Ant colony is getting slaughtered. An army of another ants is nearing the Queen's chamber.' Anthony thought towards the Queen ant, She left out the fact that the ants were just dead ants and were controlled by something since it was hard to believe and her Queen might think that she was joking about it.

'I also felt it, my Child. My Children in this colony are getting killed left and right without remorse. My Queens are protected with me and we would lead the final battle in this Chamber.' The Queen ant said as she slowly stands up with her big body slowly getting up from the ground.

This colony was formed by One queen ant with 5 other queen ants who was born from the first queen ant. The Queen ant that was in front of Anthony could be called an Empress due to her decision making and her Royal aura that was around the Queen's ant body.

'Okay, I hope we get ready.' Anthony sighed in relief, She felt that she did something unimaginable and she also notice that the fight isn't even starting yet. Where is the enemy or dead ants that were controlled since they are not in the tunnel leading towards the Queen's chamber?

'I will call your sisters.' The Queen ant said as she called a telepathic message towards all the ants that were all around the kingdom. The message was about the last stand in the Queen's chamber itself.

'I wonder where the enemy is?' Anthony thought to herself, It was very weird and not good since she can't predict where or when the enemy would attack. She also didn't know the current numbers of the enemy but with more than hundreds of thousands inside the Queen's chamber, she thought that it was not possible to beat them.

The Queen's chamber was very big and was 1 kilometer in diameter, It was supposed to be like the capital of ants which is why the Chamber was very big. Anthony looked around and remembered something horrible.

'The roo-' Before Anthony could continue the roof collapses and the Massacre starts.
