Raven and Monty both hugged each other crying from the situation, they even ignored Waspy in monster body.

Waspy "I'm still the same and I've always protected you from predators every time we played together.."

Monty: "Why did you do this to us?"

Waspy: "The truth had to come out sooner or later..."

"And what are you going to do with us? your new toys?

Waspy became red with anger.

She pointed one of her scythes like a finger, but without really threatening.

"I said no harm was to come to you... I want to tell Sarah that you are safe... but you are in uniform and you are also soldiers... enemy soldiers..."

Raven: "And why the killing...Hans is dead and the war is over.!!!! and what good are your tanks against the ummite shuttles.?? We kept a low profile and thought it appropriate to align ourselves to keep our freedom..."

With a snap of the scythe, a screen appeared on a large crystal.

"I am a Vespalian, but also a fairy and you have chosen the easy way.

But I know your kind... No words, promises and betrayals on endless plots. I've seen history books and I've been stunned by the fate of the locals... the Indians against the conquistadores... The civilizations wiped off the map, the Romans, the arenas and the slaves. Until not long ago... The Indians and the cowboys. The Sioux people, and on and on...

We know that you will prosper again and exploit the planet again without any respect for its environment. Ecological carnage.

All that is magical will disappear again and you are well on your way... Become part of an Ummite empire, make up for your low population by integrating the elves... And I know that you have found tanks in reserve and that you are building an army... Against who???

Us of course!"

"We, the Vespalians, could have been your protector, your guardians and help you rebuild your civilization and collaborate..., trade...

But all that is ruined now."

Raven: "You... you... how can you eat elves... tear them to pieces? Shred them and stick your eggs in their bellies.... Can't you put yourself in their place? The suffering, the pain? It's disgusting and filthy! How could you, who was so nice, do this? Did you look at yourself?"

Monty: "I'm sorry... But Raven doesn't hide anything from you... she is honest..."

Waspy thought for a moment.

"Look at me... do you think I chose the face I have? You might as well have been born a Vespalian like me... And you would have done what??? Hello to the elf? They would have skewered you or impaled you with thousands of arrows... Don't have any illusions... they follow you because you are order and technology and your famous Yuri has controlled them with his dominator... I know many things and I have my own spy network. I am still and always General of the Enka army."

Waspy lay down, to get comfortable and accustom the humans to his appearance.

Monty: "Now the veils are coming down. What is this cult of Enka? these offerings, the Djizira and all this comedy? We know that the hydra is Hans and with magic, everything is possible, illusions ... At least try not to lie for once..."

Raven looked at Waspy like a housewife looked at a big spider. she felt like climbing on a chair and hitting the queen but the broom would never be big enough...

Monty noticed the murderous urge of her girlfriend/sister (no inbreeding)

"Raven, calm down... don't make it worse..."

Monty: "First, was it you who shot us down or sabotaged our shuttle?"

the queen shook her head. "Why??? kill my only true friends??"

Raven ate her words in her mouth but no one understood.

Monty: "You think it's okay to eat people? Do you have a heart? Why are you doing this? "

Waspy looked at the ground, thinking of her next words... and not clumsily this time...

Then she started to cry...

Raven shook her head, not caring about the attitude of the monster in front of them. She was scarier and more dangerous than any imaginary monster from the worst science fiction movies. The alien queen was a laughing stock in front of Waspy.

Then Waspy raised her head..

"You see... I am sad... I'm really sorry, but... have you ever seen an elf cry? Another sad fairy? Regrets??? Apologies? Do you think they ever put themselves in your shoes?"

Monty: "Yes!!! Ergens! Sergeant Ergens tried to give his life to save us. He ran to us, knowing it was hopeless..."

Waspy sent a telepathic command for the sergeant to be spared.

"Then he will be spared... Do you know of any others?

So, here's the thing...Hans also spared me...When I proved I had a soul...a waspish soul but it was better than nothing..."

Raven: "Stop justifying yourself... you are a monster... It's not your giant mantis appearance...But the lies, the killing and...how you can stick an egg in people's bellies!!! It's disgusting, heinous, monstrous. Kate is not a monster..."

Monty : "For me it is one... not because she is a dragoness but because she is a killer, a dragon's prank... and a criminal not even able to protect her young. "

Raven: "Hans was a monster!"

Waspy: "If it wasn't for this "monster..." you wouldn't even be a piece of cooked meat taunting me and insulting me unjustly...You are ungrateful...and you will regret it."

But since Hans loved you all equally and me especially, I'm still willing to believe in you.."

Monty shook his head. Waspy... that's enough...it's over...we're too different...our values are the opposite...

The elf empire will rise again and with the tanks, and weapons, you won't stand a chance... They have the numbers and the equipment will emerge from the caches they know exist, not you...

We have satellites, there is the Ummite empire and their worlds in reserve...

Release the elves and work on peace and rebuilding this world, damn it...We can work it out and split the territories, the world is big...

If you get killed... it's true that we're very angry with you but we'll mourn you.

The fairy queen let fall a tear...

Monty : "Waspy. Hans is dead... respect his work... We will write that he was our savior, that he was the savior of humanity... You have your place with us....the world is big and vast and I am sure that there is a way to live together..."

Waspy smiled. then invited the 2 teens to follow her and they arrived at an elevator platform and they went down an endless tunnel, like a mine.

Then they arrived in a cavern with monstrous dimensions. It must have been 1 kilometer wide, 5 long and 1 high.

The whole thing was covered with a kind of structural chitin.

There were thousands of mantises, hundreds of drago kobolds and just as many dwarves.

Dozens of fairies were flying over the whole thing.

But it was all dark and you couldn't see the ends.

Waspy snapped his fingers/scythes and light appeared in different places revealing a huge construction with reactors of gigantic dimensions...

The monster of steel and chitin had turrets to make the Yamato shudder and thrusters that rivaled the star destroyers of science fiction movies... But here, it was real.

Hundreds of spider fighters were being loaded.

Waspy : "This is the Doom, in honor of the destroyed base of our hydra and its volcano

Waspy : "This is the Doom, in honor of the destroyed base of our hydra and its volcano. As you can imagine... humans are not our target and elves... we don't give a shit.

I am the Vespalian queen, and we have our own people now... The Ummite Empire is full of resources and worlds to explore and conquer..."

But the two captains weren't even listening anymore... It was a real interstellar cruiser... operational.

The Vespalians had not wasted any time... All were working like ants, but efficiently, intelligently.

Raven: "How?!!! how will it come out?"

Waspy: "But our goddess! You don't realize... the Ummites have an empire... Enka... too!"

Me, the Vespalians... the Kobolds... Dragons... humans... who do you think created them?? The DESTROYER!! YOUR BOSS: ENKA she is also your mother to all...Where does the flesh of men come from??? go back to your history books!!!! It is TIAMAT! But here, ENKA has remained a primordial God, and her eyes are fixed on us right now!"

This is your last chance to join us... You will become part of the HORDE, of the ESSAIM. We will conquer space and annex this part of the universe, this dimension to the empire of Enka.

Raven looked at Monty.... and whispered... "She is completely out of her depth... We need to destroy this abomination and blow it up..."

Then, suddenly, she fell silent...

Then the queen turned to the children...

"I think your rescue party has just arrived... What should I do???"

Raven: "Please, Waspy...whoever it is, don't kill them..."

"I see that the idiot in charge has just arrived... Kate! If she can't defend her little ones... she's come to defend the humans... I bet it's to lick Tyrant's boots, How naive she is!!!"

Monty : "Why are you so hard???...you were so nice..."

Waspy "I have not changed!!! I have always admired Hans, and I always wanted one day to be part of his family, to continue his work...to make him proud of me! but you too are important to me...to us! You too Monty... I have feelings for you!! and you too Raven.."

That was the shock of it all.

Raven began to cry with shock.

Then Waspy brought up a screen and we saw a trophy in eternal ice...

"I also forgot to tell you... Kate... is free... because she disgusts Tyrant... a worthless trophy...

Tyrant also wanted Hans as a trophy for his collection... And Hans' children...make an excellent replacement trophy: the children of his worst enemy! Kate is a dragon's joke and in his eyes... she is worthless... just a pawn he has worn out... She miraculously escaped the explosion that was supposed to kill them both... but if she escaped.... Hans must have escaped too... and... if he was dead... we would know..."

Raven: "Hans would be alive???"

Waspy "What did you think? The "base" you visited...it's only the lobby...the base is much bigger... even bigger than this one... this is a joke next door..."

Star appeared on the screen...

Waspy: "Take them alive...I want to see Kate in irons..I have an egg to peel with her"

Raven: "Please, Waspy, don't hurt her... she has recognized her mistakes, and every day she begs Hans for forgiveness and mercy... She begs the elves but she also begs Enka. She has gone completely mad with sadness..."

The queen sighed...Yes...I know but she .... (she meant that she had to admit her crimes) she.. She is a pitiful sight...She must stay here for her own good...away from the elves and her tormentors...I hated her out of jealousy but now I have no personal reason...I was angry at her for Hans but I know she regrets and still cares for you and me too... if she only knew...

Monty: "Thank you Waspy"

Then they went back to the hive and they were settled in their quarters... in semi freedom...
