While Zack and Priya where running through the hive with the wasps hot on their trail they saw a crossroads in the distance.
"Wich way do we take?" Priya asked hoping that Zack has luck on his side and choose the right way what the right way is in this situation is not really know as long as it was not a dead end it will be all good.
"I dont know but i would say we go left." He said while he was just hoping that this was not a dead end because he does have a few things he wants to do before he dies and dying to wasps was not one of those things.
So they went left luckily it was not a dead end or maybe it was worse since the wasps are still following them.
Still running through this hive their brains going into overdrive of thinking how to get rid of the wasps following them and their bodies also in overdrive so the wasps dont catch up.
"If you have any ideas about what to do i am open to suggestions." Zack said as he could not think of anything good the only idea he had was not going to work because making a stand and killing all wasps was wishful thinking and plain suicide.
"Funny i was just about to ask you the same." She answered him also not having any wonderful ideas the only one she had was hoping the wasps get tired or give up but looking back at the wasps following them that might take a long time for that to happen.
So without any ideas that was not stupid they just hoped something happened before they had no strength to run as they came across another big opening they saw a big open room without anything special except for a few more wasps wich decided that they also wanted to be angry at their visitors.
"Why do i get the feeling that in every big room we enter there are more wasps." Zack said and he was not far off, it did indeed seem like it but in one room there was nothing so he also was not right but he did not care.
"How should i know i am not a wasp." Priya answered even though it was not something that was needed it did remind her that this was not normal for wasps but then again this giant hive has been a hell for them.
They finally came across a room that was different then just wasps there where wasps to, but their queen was here and not just one no multiple wasps queens three in total although it was different from just normal wasps this did not make it much better so they decided to not try and kill a queen wasps and just run a little bit faster.
As they were running Zack felt something in his legs change and a new skill was made from just running it was called strong legs it made running use less energy and made him jump just a bit higher he was a bit grateful but also realized that this was only because he was running for such a long time without slowing down.
Although he got a new skill he decided to not tell Priya until they were somewhere that they could cacth their breath.
Although they could not see if the amount of wasps has increased or decreased but there was still enough that he did not even think about slowing down while he looked behind Priya grabbed his shirt and pulled him to the left side, other wise he would have hit the wall, after thanking her he decided it was better to keep his eyes infront of him so that he won't run in a wall.
"How big is this damn give?" Zack asked Priya only to see her shrug while he honestly did not expect a answer because he knew that they both did not know he was suprised he got a answer for a dumb question.
After a little more running they entered a small room that had no further way out, as they both prepared for a final stand something weird happened to the wasps.
The wasps who entered the small room suddenly stopped being angry and went back with what they were doing so slowly but surely all the wasps that where following the pair left wich suprised them both but was a welcome suprise as the both could use the rest.
"I am never going to look at wasps the same again." Zack said out of breath and sat down.
"I swear if they are not here i am going to burn this hive down." Priya said who was also out of breath.
"Did you know i got a new skill thanks to all the running we did it makes running use less energy and makes me jump higher." Zack said to the girl who was currently trying to catch her breath and nodded after a few seconds.
After a few minutes of them catching their breath Priya was the first to talk.
"I am not complaining but why did the wasps leave suddenly?" She asked him hoping that maybe he felt a change in energy that might have called the wasps back or something.
"I dont know but i dont mind it." He answered he for sure found it weird the wasps were hellbent on getting them until they entered the room.
As he kept thinking he got a idea and stood up and walked to the wall.
"What are you doing?" Priya asked clearly confused not having any idea of what he was doing.
Just after that Zack knocked on the wall and to his suprise the wall was hollow there is something behind this wall, as he looked back at Priya he saw her being suprised she clearly had not thought that there was something behind the wall.
"Well i can't say for sure that this is not just a different room full of wasps but could you knock on a different wall to check if that wall is hollow." He hoped that something in this hive would go his way and that the other walk would not be hollow.
Priya nodded understanding what he was getting at and stood up walked to a different wall and knocked and to their suprise this time the sound it made was different meaning that it was not hollow.
Zack got a huge grin on his face they were making progress in this place that he will most definitely burn down after, he got ready and punched the wall and a small crack appeared on the wall as soon as he saw that he was getting ready to punch again but he was stopped by Priya.
"Let me handle this." She said with a small wink and punched the wall and breaking the wall in one punch "see much easier." She said looking back at Zack who was nodding.
*Holy shit i will never make her angry that punch will definitely break more than one bone* Zack thought he was happy for sure that the wall broke but with it his pride of making even a small crack in the wall broke with it.
Leaving that aside they both entered the room it was weirdly bright in there.
As soon as their eyes adjusted to the light they saw a scene that made Zack feel like he was having deja vu.
Inside the room was just a statue of a girl who has antennea on her head and on her lower back where wings looking at her face has the expression of being tiredness but also looked ready for battle.
"There she is in all her Battle maniac glory." Priya said with a smile on her face.
Just like how he had awoken Priya he touched the statue and the statue crumbled and what walked out of the dust was almost angel like.
Walking out the dust with long blond hair a stark contrast to Priya's short brown hair, and her wings seemed see through but her eyes where bright yellow, at this point Priya just launched herself at the girl and hugging her.
The girl who clearly did not see that coming fell on the ground and Priya fell with her in the ground.
"Its been way to long don't you think?" Priya asked the girl.
"I will admit it's been a while how have you been Priya." The girl answered her voice surprisingly felt nice on the ears wich suprised Zack.
" It's been almost a week or two since i was awoken we have a new commander." Priya answered the girl looked suprised for a bit but nodded.
"I know i should not be suprised otherwise you would not be talking to me." The girl answered and stood up with Priya and walked to Zack.
"So i take it your the new commander then." She asked him and Zack nodded before holding his hand out for a greeting. " My name is Zack Quinn." He said.
"You have manners that is atleast good my name is Rachel nice to meet you commander." She said and shook his hand while taking a good look at him.
"I am sure you know but i am the captain of the wasps faction." Rachel said.
"Yea its not hard to figure that out with where we are." Zack said before asking. "Do you know a way out of here?"
" A way out ofcourse there is one." Rachel answered.
"Please do tell us we have been through hell in this hive." Priya told the blond.
"In that case you won't like it but the same way you came is the only way as far as i am aware but the wasps won't attack us because i am with you so let's go." She said.
As much as Zack or Priya wanted to protest they had no better plan so they just did not say anything about it and showed her the way out, and true to Rachel's words the wasps did not attack them even when they got to the room where the queen wasps where and Rachel quickly ran to one to register to the legion and the queen wasp followed them, after what felt like a few hours they got to the exit of the hive.
"So do we have a home base so i can send this queen wasp to so she can lay her eggs and slowly make the wasp faction started?" Rachel asked and Priya quickly give her the coordinates of it and after that Rachel send the wasp queen on their way.
