#deadlander omega

[longeth-dayv]

i havent checked whoever made that part in mario's madness but IT IS SO IMMACULATE THE ARTSTYLE IS GODLIKE so i had tot ry adn reproduce it featuring the bug fablers

[justforsutff]

Tbh I always thought this thing was a mutated cat and here's my thoughts

While obviously it's big compared to the bugs it also seems too small to me at least to a human child. Esp when you see the hunched up form walking about via the eliascope.

I mean Outdoor cats like to play (Torture, lol) their prey . They play with them before biting into them. Either that or they were just playing to enjoy mental stimulation HOWEVER the prey obviously does not understand nor know this (Might explain the relation with the other dead landers, who are afraid of it.). Cats also evolved to be opportunistic hunters and are adapted to eat smaller amounts of food more frequently compared to a giant sitting. Cats are ambush predators who stalk their prey until the right moment strikes to kill and eat. While the hands are definitely more human (mutation?) cats will paw fish out of water. Maybe in a weird fucked up mutation way this is like that?

Also isn't a cat's eye language like- the unblinking stare is like a dominance or aggression thing? And if they slit their pupils it can mean pleasure or aggression? The eye just looks like a cat eye to me hgihag

Anyway i might be 100% wrong lol but I thought it was interesting to muse about it.

Omega's Assault Masterpost

Back in 2022, @akuma74 posted about a dream he had, where Deadlanders broke into Bugaria and the good guys had to join forces with the Wasp King to fight them off. I thought this idea was really cool and I asked akuma if I could make a little fic based on it. He said yes, and what I proceeded to write on-and-off over the next year+ was, like, over 20,000. I like it, though, hopefully akuma also likes it and hopefully you lot like it too.

imagine if their response is just

"YOU ARE NOW

MY FRIEND.

WE SHALL HAVE

SOFT TACOS LATER."

Deadlander Omega is confirmed to be feared by the other Deadlanders, it just wants a friend

[wtfgaylittlezooid]

The autism has officially won. Anim vs Bug Fables, lets fucking go

Victim, the mercenaries, Chosen One, and Dark Lord are all going to be in here too as well as Alan. I just haven't gotten around to drawing them yet.

Infodump under the cut

Ive been thinking about this au a normal amount.

Alan will be a more aware Deadlander Omega.

Yes Purple is kind of a hivemind. He's basically the Royal Monarch boss, but if they didn't lure in bugs to kill them. He mostly just wants to protect the abandoned Ant Settlement and keep to himself. Also despite being awakened, he cannot speak Bugnish.

Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow are all a group from the North (aka front yard) and wanted to go to Bugaria for various reasons. Red wants to be an explorer, Yellow wants to study roach technology, Blue wants to make an offering to Venus in hopes of getting her blessing, and Green wants to be with his friends. They decide to go through the Giant's Lair because "haha most people go in there with only two bugs well be fine :)" and run into Second and Alan.

Victim I'm still not entirely sure what I want to be, but he will be a cordyceps zombie, Chosen will be a murder hornet, and Dark will be a red and black mason wasp.

the playlist! my contribution to the adar prayer circle lmao 🕯️🕯️🕯️

heavy, aggressive alt/metal. lots of saudar vibes because i feel like their dynamic is so central to adar's arc. or what we've seen of it at least! some of the songs are purely vibes based, some are more based on lyrics. honestly i made this for gifmaking and for background noise when i'm at work but can't escape the Brainrot, so it's not a fully fleshed out character playlist, but i'll add more to it (if our man lives 💀)

enjoy! lyrics under the cut 👀

listen on Spotify here

moth // HELLYEAH

I've been cast out, sequestered Pushed the fuck around Blindsided, beaten Locked up and bound Always thought I was human But maybe I was wrong I've been treated like an animal Since the day I was born The wounds that I wear like the crown upon a king So heavy they lie with all the pain that they bring My life is full of longing, but for what I'll never know I've been drawn into the fire as I reap what I sow

blood // bad omens

There's no rest for the wicked There's not a home underneath the mud And we're all dead, so what's the difference Between a god and a loaded gun? I am the sun, rain, the ocean I am the flood, flames, the chosen It's in our blood, it's on our breath It's in the taste between life and death

soft spine // spiritbox

Soft spine, ascending up to meet my Eyes wide, I am a witness to your regicide The dissolution of your soft spine You all deserve each other You steal the echo from their ghosts You pick your teeth with sacred bones I hate the ones that love you And those who profit from you It's time to reap the tide you sow

god's image // mike's dead

If I was made in God's fucking image Is he as fucked up as I am? Is he sick like me? Is he sick like me? Is he sick like me? If I was made inside the holy system Where the fuck are all my friends? Only space to leave, only space to leave, only space to leave

DEAD THRONE // arankai

Look what you've done, all your skeletons have come to life On a dead throne, tell me how you sleep at night All your sins will be paid in blood a hundred times This isn't retribution, this is fucking regicide

alpha & omega // king 810

Welcome to the truth God made me in His image, who the fuck made you? You want my voice from me? You can have it just know I sound like this, because the Devil has my throat I make your insides shift, that is my gift The sea parts, and then comes the flood And men have died to make this, you can't imitate shit The talent I have, I paid for in blood

house of cards // deadlands

You may think that you have leverage But I'll lay this shit down Think that you're a high-roller Just a joker and a clown Under the gun You'll confess to all the wrongs you've done And when push comes to shove There's nowhere you can run

welcome to hell // mike's dead

I bet you thought that i was finished but I'm back at the gates I am back with the demons and embers and flames And I am not alone I brought a couple million souls So you can see for yourself I'm the king, I'm the goat As above, so below where the light is removed And your death is in bloom on the path seldom took I am here, I am now in the shadows of doom You can call this hell, but I call this home

counting bodies like sheep // a perfect circle

I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and all your demons I'll be the one to protect you from A will to survive and a voice of reason I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and your choices, son They're one in the same, I must isolate you Isolate and save you from yourself

necessary evil // motionless in white

Strip off the weight of mortality and check it at the door I'll show you the worst in me Blow out the candles, I need not a wish for I am everything Now crawl to my boots and lick (kneel before me) Imma have my cake and fucking eat you too It's my party and I'll die when I want to Die when I want to, die when I want to The monster you've made is wearing the crown I'll be the king and you'll be the clown I'll take the blame, parade it around You've made me the villain you can't live without

before i forget // slipknot

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm Catastrophic, not again I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections I've got no time to lose, I'm just caught up in all the cattle I am a world before I am a man I was a creature before I could stand I will remember before I forget

black sheep // crown the empire

You kick me in the teeth, then pin me to the ground You take the sickest part of me and spit it out your goddamn mouth All my life I've been running with the black sheep Cast me out, watch me come back as king

exit wounds // bad omens

Raised by wolves in sheep's clothes that abandoned me But taught me to get up when I fall to my knees Man makes monster, monster kills man Taking your crown's always been part of the plan

villain arc // bury tomorrow

These walls can't hold us No prisoners Godless, no control I'll say it, "Fuck your halo" This world can't take us No prisoners, Godless evermore Fuck your halo Destined to go through hell For this fire inside of me I am labelled an enemy And I like the way it burns It's like they'll never learn

WAR // mike's dead

All of my life I’ve been yearning for violence I’d sell my soul just to burn in the riots All of my life I’ve been clinging to pain I need someone to blame For these thoughts in my brain Feel the blood on my chin I’ve been off of my shit don’t tempt me Feel the parasites in my skin Didn’t know I could feel this empty Who’s at fault, for my lack of resolve?

red // woe, is me

Now I'm free, you goddamned leech Fuck your pulpit, and fuck what you preach You may have the world at your feet But nothing in this life is concrete You’re self-indulgent at my expense So let me give you my two cents

power // king yosef

This being was made a long time ago I've peeled the wound and I let it show Change for better or worse Perpetuate pain 'til the flesh meets the Earth I've always been like this, it sits in my skin Reinvent myself, won't let you in You do all you can, I do all I want The things that make a man The things that make a God

crushed // deadlands

I'm done being seen as a motherfucking pawn You use and abuse me to get what you want I'm done being burned and a game that you play I'm so fucking sick I'll do it my way We'll do it my way The predator is now the prey Enough is enough Now you're the one who's fucking crushed

remember me // dal av, andy cizek

Amidst a violent night, there is a dying star Mired in lies and spite, it's fading from afar I used to chase the sun, now I'm afraid of it But if I'm honest, I never thought I would get this far I was a loaded gun, now I'm in front of one A catatonic cycle, over and over Am I alive? Am I a phantom? What was on fire is now but a fading ember Will I survive? Is there an answer? And if I die now, will anyone remember?

higher than death // 3TEETH

How should we die? Our beautiful freedom Can't keep it alive when you can't find the meaning Look at us now, beaten and bleeding I'm higher than death It's theft, everything they took from us And left lies, lies, lies What's left? Motherfucking selfish greed As they let us die

the hell i overcame // bad omens

Oh, did you really think the pain Would send me to an early grave? Did you think I couldn't break these chains After all the hell I overcame? God, please, forgive those who doubt me Forgot about me Then throw them down into the flames

burned at both ends // motionless in white

Nothing is like it was before I know not who I am anymore Chasing something that's behind me When will I be set free? Broken promises left to mend Burning the candle at both ends No light to find my way back home But I don't know where home is anymore The sinking ship has washed ashore

burned at both ends II // motionless in white

Leaving you behind left me aimless Staring in the mirror and I feel like I'm faceless The only thing I know is that I'd rather die Than live in a world where you still control my life The curse you left, it ends tonight Even if I have to tear out my insides Never again will this heart be your home I'll be happy as someone else Today, I found my open door I set my sights on something more I'm done reliving the pain you dealt me I'm sick of trying to take back time Today, I live for something more

[uchudishe]

While Deadlanders Alpha, Beta and Gamma were out there kicking Snakemouth in the abdomen, and Omega were a looming chtonic menace, Delta got caught on a stick with a rope and a rusty crooked piece of metal. What a shameful display

[tatos-stick-pile]

I shouldve posted this first GBHNJ But this is before this funny lil comic lore dump under if u want context (catmints better at this but its just me rn GBHNJM) Anim vs bf au belongs to @wtfgaylittlezooid

what BASICALLY happened here Lore dump time During the fight in the deadlands, Victim took the mercenaries to finally kill alan. But during it Victim was WAY too aware of the fact that alan isnt fighting back and was avoiding hurting them. WHICH HE HATED bc now the omega is acting like a saint when HE wasnt spared. So he started fucking lashing out screaming (and LOCUSTS ARE LOUD!!) But stops when an orange spotlight shone behind him. Even though he can see alan in front of him. TURNS OUT he was loud. So loud that the Juvie (aka omega b) wandered over to alan's territory to see the noisy little thing, and DESPITE everything. Victim is still that scared little bug deep down so get picked up by the juvie idiot. Though alan, bc now he KNOWS how precious victim is, doesnt want him to get hurt. so he just RUSHED the juvie forcing it to drop its toy. He had to redirect the attention onto HIM with challenging the omega to a fight. And fun fact about those. an omega would NEVER challenge another if it knew it was going to lose. But he did anyways

[maxknightley]

you're the only person i know who i know for sure has played bug fables, so i have to ask: do you have any theories about what the hell is up with deadlander omega?

bug fables spoilers below da cut

when I first played that section I actually got the impression that the Dead Lander Omega was an exterminator - or whatever remained of them after the Unspecified Extinction Event fucked their shit way up - and that the various "monsters" it placed down were just various traps and machinery interpreted through the eyes of a creature that could not comprehend them.

this only really made sense for the Alpha and Beta, though, since they attack with poison and have odd, abstract designs - Dead Lander Gamma really only makes sense as something organic, imo.

I think where I'm at these days is "it's some kind of mid-sized animal that got mutated by Chemicals, Radiation, and/or Magic." a raccoon or a cat or somethin' maybe.

I don't think the nature of the Omega itself is a very compelling question beyond that, but I definitely am curious what the deal is with the lesser Dead Landers. Given the way that the Alpha looks almost "stitched together" and the Frankenbug vibe of the Gamma, I do sometimes like to imagine that the Omega basically cobbles the lesser beasts together out of dead bugs and fungi.

Final Fantasy 16 - Echoes of the Fallen Thoughts and Reflection

"The same enlightened souls forged great and terrible weapons called the Eikonoklastes—from which Eikons derive their name—and turned them against each other in the Magitek war." Harpocrates II Hyperboreios

This DLC finally gives a more in-depth look into the Fallen's "accomplishments" and their attempts to become God themselves. The Fallen had created their own artificial Mothercrystal (The shards being called Dusk Crystals) and artificial Eikon cementing their God-like ambitions. I wonder if the Fallen created artificial Eikons based on the summons Alexander and Ark. Thankfully, Clive and his allies were able to shut down the last Echoes of the Fallen by destroying both Omega-1, their artificial Eikon, and their artificial Mothercrystal silencing the Sagespire for good.

The Fallen's music theme fits these wannabe Gods incredibly well also serving as Omega-1's theme. The first couple of levels (The Worm Mounts) have a variant that uses the organs and operatic music to sell the ancient nature of this Magitek tower and its ambitions. The upper levels have a more ominous and urgent variant (The Secret of Its Laboring Heart) as you begin to see more of the horrific experiments conducted to overthrow Ultima.

Eikonoklasm, Omega-1's battle theme, is an epic battle electronic variant of the Fallen theme. It captures the epiphany of the Fallen's attempt to challenge Ultima by creating their own Eikon. It nearly defeated three Dominants, so imagine if the Fallen made more...a bit of a terrifying thought. A bit of a fun easter egg courtesy of Soken is how Eikonklasm also included eScape motif from FF14.

I love how the Sagespire serves as the final massive dungeon for Clive. Mysidia will serve more as our final explorable area but the Sagespire undoubtedly serve as our final dungeon.

Famiel, the leader of a trio of tribe miners and merchants, plays a thematic role in how the people of this world are tied to the Mothercrystals to survive. In particular, he shows how people who lost their lands to the Deadlands were forced to turn to any means to survive. In this case, they relied on the ambitions of the Fallen (their artificial Mothercrystal). In the end, he saw that a better future for his people would not come if this artificial Mothercrystal were to remain.

"I hope we did the right thing..." Famiel

A theme I noticed was how we see the difference between becoming free: Cid's and Clive's noble quest to free the world from Ultima by riding off the crystals (and later magic itself) versus the Fallen "freeing" themselves from Ultima by becoming "Gods" themselves.

"We don't want to be gods. We just want to be free." Clive Rosfield

Another theme that shares similarities with the Rising Tide DLC is how the wars for the Mothercrystals driven tribes searching for their own. In doing so, this serves to further Ultima's true goal with the exploitation of other Mothercrystals. However, he considers Leviathan to be a "profaned fragment." Ultima sees Leviathan as a heretic of some kind. To what end and why? There's also the fact that the land in Mysidia isn't affected by the Blight at all despite the lost tribe possessing their own Mothercrystal. Maybe Leviathan had a hand in this Mothercrystal's creation as hinted by the trailer?

With that, we shall travel onward to Mysidia and Leviathan in the Rising Tide DLC!

"If one does not learn from the mistakes of the past, one is doomed to repeat them." Harpocrates II Hyperboreios

               ¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶

" Arguh! Do we really have to come to this frozen waste land? " A man said as he hugged the thick jacket he wore around his frame even tighter his pale cheeks already getting a red hue to them as he continued to swear under his breath, peaking out of the carriage window to see the knights sticking close to their side and small snow falling. His purple eyes narrowed at the sight of more snow.

" It won't take long until we reach the manor your grace " an elderly voice replied and the blue haired male clicked his tongue in irritation.

He hated this. 

He hated having to leave the comfort of his home in the capital.

He hated having to leave the warm and cool weather for this frozen deadland.

He huffed removing his glasses, wiping away the steam that fogged the lens for the umpteenth since he had crossed the border, before wearing them growling loudly as they started fogging up again.

The gods he hated this forsaken land!

He wished he hadn't accepted his older brothers proposal to come here. Had he known he would be stuck in this condition he would have refused to step foot into this land.

And he had sent him to where they throw that devil incarnate to. 

He was so mean doing such a cruel thing to him.

" I can't take this anymore! I want to go back home " the man says with a scowl on his thin peach lips  folding his arms and puffing out his cheeks his eyes narrowing into a glare as he stared at the elderly man who seemed to be acting as a chaperone 

Ren felt a headache beginning to form as he stared at the fuming recessive omega noticing how his scent of oranges started becoming acidic.

The aging recessive alpha didn't have the strength to deal with any bratty attitude. He was already stressed as it is. The imperial family were playing with fire with this stupid plan they were doing. Trying to one up on the Duke and the northern nobles would not be good for them in the long run, yet they still went ahead to do. And they made matters worse by adding an inexperienced child to the team as a representative.

" I'm sorry your grace but it's too late to turn back now. Please bare with the conditions for a few more minutes " the grey haired man said trying to soothe the younger man but he wasn't having any of it.

" No! I said I want to go back home now damnit! What are you deaf ? Has your age started affecting your hearing as well ? I want to go back home now. I don't care how you do. Open a teleportation portal for me or something damnit. How an old fool like you could ever be given the title of a ' war hero ' is beyond me. I'm tired and cold and I've had enough ! " The blue haired recessive omega whined out stomping his feet inside the carriage as he glared at the older man.

Ren bit back a growl as he let him s hands fall on his thighs his grip tightening on his own flesh causing a dull ache of pain to start forming.

How dare this brat.

How dare he say such words to him.

He was the son of an ordinary count while he was a Marquis. He didn't even have a noble title himself and was just lucky to be born in a well off noble family.

Apart from the difference in social class, he was a heavily decorated knight he had helped bring the empire to glory countless times during his youth and he had even been recognized as a war hero for all his efforts.

Yet here he was letting this inexperienced child yell at him and he couldn't complain about it, unless he wanted the ungrateful brat to tell on him and he would have his head removed from his shoulders. He was related to the holy saint and future emperor of his Empire. The holy man had made it very clear that he cherished his younger brother and no harm should happen to him

That was the only reason he hadn't thrown him out of the carriage yet.

How such a spoilt brat like this could be related to the kind and holy saint of their empire was beyond him.

Even though they shared similarities traits in appearance their personalities were vastly different.

Stoping himself from yelling at the younger man Ren spoke up again trying to calm him down. " Again your grace I am truly sorry for any discomfort your facing now, but it's too late for us to turn back. We will soon arrive at the Duke's manor so please hold on until then " the older man tried to reason and omega puffed his cheeks tears of frustration beginning to bring at the corner of his eyes.

" No. No. NO! "

The younger man spoke up stomping his foot and the older alpha swore he saw red for a moment, the only things keeping him from lashing out at the omega was his sense of pride and fear for his life.

Alfred glared at the older man through his foggy glasses, his long hair tied up in a ponytail swished around everytime he stomped his feet.

How could he just ignore him.

He was so cruel.

What kind of alpha was he? Had he lost his heart from butchering people in the battlefield that he didn't know how to treat an omega right?!

" You old - " the omega started only to be cut off

" Now now I know your having a hard time adjusting your grace but please stay calm. We'll be going back to the capital soon so don't worry. I'm sure you can handle this for a few more hours. "

A smooth voice spoke up  easing the tension inside the carriage in an instant. What  ever rage Alfred felt bubbling in his chest died down immediately he heard the man sitting beside him speak up and his ears heat up.

" I.. I'm sorry for d.. disturbing you Archmage Adonis " the blue haired man mumbled out fiddling with his fingers as he lowered his gaze to his laps. A soft chuckle made his blush worse, the soft scent of burning oak coming from said man calmed him down immensely.

" I know your exhausted. Poor omega the cold weather must be getting to you " the mage  purred out softly and Alfred could only nod his head at his words, not being able to look at the duel haired colour man.

" And I knew your stressed out as well lord Ren, but still try to be easy on lord Alfred. It's his first time doing something this important so the stress must have gotten to him and made him anxious. Please be more considerate to his situation " the man said and Ren felt his grip on his laps get tighter as he listened to the man's words.

How dare this high and night bastard blame him for something when he wasn't at fault. How is it his fault this that he was stuck with a bratty child who didn't have any single respect for his elders.

If the boy knew he would be whining through out this journey and would start demanding to go back home then he shouldn't have agreed to come in the first place!!

But like earlier he swallowed down his thoughts and lowered his head to the younger recessive alpha  mumbling out apologies instead.

No matter how wronged he felt he would be a fool to argue with the man.

Who was he, a mere marquis and an ordinary war hero to argue with the son of one of the four eastern dukes and Archmage of the magic tower.

He rather his pride be destroyed than he lose his life.

The man simply smiled at the older man's submissiveness before turning to look at the blue haired omega who had buried his face into the fur coat he was wearing as a sorry attempt to hide his flushed cheeks and the tower mage chuckled. " You see lord Alfred ? He sorry so don't get to worked up alright ? It's just a few more hours and I'm sure they'll soon move by in a flash so please hang in there " the man reassured once more and the recessive omega nodded.

 Silver eyes watched the whole thing go down, their owner not speaking up once as he watched the whole nonsense go down.

Sure the omega's constant whining was giving him a headache, but he dare not speak up. He might be the prince, but recently certain members of the saints family had moved into the imperial palace and now had more favor than him. 

Alfred was one of them.

So the red haired alpha had no choice but to sit still admist the chaos and try his best to ignore it, as much as he would like to help Ren the man was on his own in this.

An image of a h/c man flashed in his thoughts and Calix felt his heart squeeze in joy and fear. Joy that he finally see his older brother figure after such a long time and fear that he would have to leave him again so soon as he would be dragged back to that hell hole he called home.

                ¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶

The entail shock of the arrival of the heavily guarded knights and the imperial carriage had died down a bit, but it sent the servants into a panic as they rushed to make the majestic huge mansion even more presentable, word of the unexpected arrival flew quickly which led to the current situation.

Walking through the busy halls with a scary scowl on his pale pink lips. The frown etched on his normally stoic face and the thick smell of his phermones was enough for the servants to scurry away in fear.

" Do they really lack manners to just show up uninvited without dropping word of their arrival before hand " the silver  haired duke grumbled under his breath not bothering hide the growl that followed after.

He had just come back from a patrol along the Inovre Forest and had battled some monsters they had unexpectedly come across. He just wanted to change his blood stained clothes and get some rest. Probably see a certain h/c omega , before he had to deal with his busy schedule for the day. Now he had to wrap that all up and let the work pile up because some dicks didn't in understand common courtesy.

​​​

" Well your cousin's family always have their heads up their asses. They feel that since their the one ruling the empire they can do whatever they want. " a smug voice replied to the man and he rolled his eyes.

  " Thank you very much for telling me something I already know Daniel. It was really helpful "

The silver haired man said sarcastically.

" Glad I could be of help sir~ "

The dark haired recessive alpha said with an optimistic beat, not minding how the other alpha pumped out more phermones at his words, if he was affected by the assault he didn't let it show. He wouldn't be a captain of the North wyvern knights if he let the phermones of an alpha trying not to throw a temper tantrum.

He actually found it funny that the feared Duke of the Northern territory was a few wrong buttons away from ripping someone's head off.

Oh what fun today was going to be ~

              ¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶°¶

" What could be so important that those 'Pure bloods ' decided they would come and pay someone as impure as me a visit. And without a word in advance as well. It's like they were hoping to catch me off guard and look for how to disgrace me. " A deep voice mused as his silver eyes paid close attention to the knights. The calm expression he wore was a great contrast to how he felt inside.

Duke Nicolas Devon Vermillion was livid.

The blonde dominant alpha's pheromones would have been all over the place if he wasn't trained to control them.

He already had enough on his plate with trying to find a solution to the sudden drought the land was facing and the sudden spike in månå beasts been so active.

He didn't need the imperial family to add to that headache.

' Has that little brat finally lost all form of respect ? He dare try to make a fool of me?! Has he let all that power finally take over his senses !! '

That ill mannered pup was really beginning to get on his nerves. He was nothing but a child who was given to much power and was in a position he didn't earn.

A small hand placed it's self on the man's chest as a hand hooked around his arm, a soft warm body pressed itself against his side. The strong scent of fresh grapes filled his nostrils and instantly calmed his senses a bit as he pulled the figure closer to him causing the person to giggle.

" There there Honey, it's alright. Don't let them get under your skin. That's what they want so let's not give it to them. So take a deep breath and let it out " A smooth voice spoke up their velvety voice calming down the blonde man even more as he listened to their instructions.

Letting out a deep breath Nicolas sighed a genuine smile tugging on his lips as he looked at his side, staring into white milky eyes that held nothing but love towards him, love that he returned back in his own gaze and subtle gestures.

His pretty wife  really knew how to make him feel better.

Long flowing silky snow like hair, with cool earth skin tone, pure white milky eyes. A very beautiful dominant omega with such unique features.

Unique features that only belonged to one family in their entire empire.

 Lady Marina giggled softly at her husband's antics as his grip on her waist tightened and loosened in a teasing manner.

Her cloudy white eyes looked over to the empty spots by her side and her husband's her plump lips turning into a small frown at the absence of her children. She could excuse her two eldest, because she knew they had places to be, yet her youngest was no where in sight.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by the unexpected blaring of trumpets and the former duchess turned her attention back to the carriage.

The knights stood by either of the carriage door their hands on their weapons, ready to draw them if  needed   as the manor servants laid out a lavish fur red carpet from the mansion entrance.

The door opened and our stepped their visitors.

An older man with grey hair was the first to come out. For a noble he was extremely dressed down wearing darker colours instead of flashy ones and he had no jewelry or gems on to show off his wealth. The only thing that screamed to be of value was the pure gold pin that took the shape of a small dragon that was pinned to his chest, a sign that the man was a former war hero.

The next person that followed was a man with long flowy white hair that reached his mid back, his pure white locks turned into a pitch black colour at the tips, his light blue eyes held a calm look to them, his thin lips stretched into a gentle smile as he stepped down with grace that belonged to that of a swan, his silver and sapphire coloured robes flowed gently around his form.

Recognition flashed in Nicholas silver hues as he watched the tower mage of the eastern empire extended his hand out to the inside. A petite hand stretched out to hold the mage's and out stepped a blushing young man who had the lower bottom of his face hidden in his fur coat.

' blue hair and purple eyes '

The thought passed through the couples head and they were shocked for a split second, it died down when they noticed how young the man looked and he wasn't dressed in any holy garmet. 

That and they knew their nephew would never allow the holy man to come on his own to the north.

" He must be a relative " Marina said quietly and her husband made a sound of acknowledgement as they watched the blue haired man glue himself to the mage's side.

Following after the blue haired man was a head of deep crimson hair, his silver eyes rolled in slight annoyance as he stared at the blue haired recessive omega, before he started looking everywhere as if he was searching for someone, a small frown tugging his lips downwards when he didn't see the person he was looking for.

Ren cleared his throat at the three young men he was acting as an escort for, getting their attention as he subtly gestured towards the former Duke and Duchess who were watching them with hawk like eyes.

Sure all three young men might be highly respected, but that was in the east. This wasn't their territory anymore. They weren't on top of the food chain and the aging alpha prayed to the gods that they could hold down their pride and ego as they as they talked to the real top dogs.

With everyone focused on their new visitors no one seemed to notice the fluttering of butterflies as they made their way back to their master.

Hi. So we meet our unexpected visitors. It might seem like much but the next chapter is gonna be hot. And sorry if this is all over the place.                                         

 Now let me explain how the Northern Grand duchy is related to the imperial family.

Nicolas Vermillion mostly known to others as the former Grand duke of the north, but before he got this tile he was referred to as the bastard child of Emperor Carinvan.

He was born from a lowly prostitute and was taken in by the Emperor's when his mother died from an unknown illness.

He was mocked and despised by the nobles and other royalty who cursed at him, especially his brother (the late Emperor ) who made sure to constantly remind him that he had dirty blood.

Despite this his father favoured him more because he was better versed in the ways of politics and he seemed like a fit ruler than his son.

Something happened though, but that will be explained in a later chapter.

He might not let it show, but it irks him that he couldn't sit on the throne and become the Emperor, but it doesn't matter now.

Now that he has a certain h/c omega in his grasp he was going to make sure his son was going to be  Emperor.

No matter the cost.

I've been feeling under the weather for a while that's why this chapter is so late.

[bugs-in-situations]

more thoughts about the uuhhh wet beasts that we're putting on the au blog because it's technically au stuff

we think ants are ocean fish that form big schools like herrings sardines anchovies etc

bees are cute tropical aquarium fish, vi is specifically a piranha because it fits her more

termites are dolphins. we're sure you understand

wasps are ?? we're not sure yet? maybe they're sea birds.?

moths are pinnipeds & sea otters because they're fluffye. there are less butterflies in bug fable so we're relegating them to all be river otters

beetles are sea turtles and since bf lore counts ladybugs as something different they're freshwater turtles

mantis are sharks. we're sure you understand

mosquitoes are jellyfish because of the pre-bug fables Delilah Lore

crickets are crabs we can't really explain this one but imagine for a moment .... crabstotheles. we're sure you understand

venus is a lotus plant now, which makes the setting even more confusing because how is a lotus in the ocean. she's venus, don't ask

spiders are octopi that have figured out how to use all the nets left over from humans disappearing

chompers are anemones that figured out how to bite things

pibus are giant sea isopods, aphids and cochineals are snails and sea slugs, and mothflies are plankton

the beast is an orca (we looked up things that eat adult sea turtles and the only other thing was sharks

deadlanders are those freaky deep ocean beafts of nightmares and omega is a giant squid with giant eyes

and roaches are coelacanths, did you know that coelacanths are the first result for searching "very old fish"

this concludes today's "assigning bug fables characters as other not-bug animals"

[cordycepsbian]

we're watching a bug fables let's play and the guy playing was like. right at the part in the giant's lair where you have to hit a rock to make deadlander omega pick it up and move out of your way. but he stepped into its line of sight as it was going to grab the rock. and at the same time he activated a battle with the deadlander alpha that's also right there. and the timing of it made it look like deadlander omega had grabbed the main characters and that initiated a battle. and for a second we were actually scared like we thought we were about to see a super ultra secret battle that only happens if you get seen by that specific eye

Omega's Assault: Chapter 4

Out in the Forsaken Lands, many Bugs were gathered around in the fog, either standing ready or setting up large weapons for their attack: the strongest Soldiers that the Termite Kingdom could supply were all standing by or around the "Mega Mortars", loading them with explosives, pointing them to the North, overall preparing them for the battle ahead. Meanwhile, The Wasp Soldiers were all perfectly still, silent and unmoving, though their "King" was visibly annoyed and tired of waiting. Queen Elizant II, on the other hand, kept her hands at her waist, standing firm and and intent to pull out her blades when needed, whilst her Explorers were mostly conversing with one another.

Vi: [Ugh...Look at those Wasp guys: why are they all standing like that?]

Kabbu: [Vi, can you please???]

Vi: [But look at them! They look like Leif froze them but he didn't!]

Leif: [We have to wonder just what's going through their heads...]

Leif wasn't able to wonder long, as he and everyone else was called to attention by the Termites. The Captain appointed to the mission stepped forward and placed a hand on a large cannon that was set up next to him. It and the other cannons nearby were big enough that three Termites were needed to operate them: one to rotate it, one to set the aim, and one to load the bomb (each of which was about as big as Vi).

Termite Captain: Ladies! Gentlemen! This...is a Mega Mortar.

Vi: Woooaaaahh, and I thought H.B. made some nutty weapons!

Termite Captain: Nutty? This is high-tech stuff, kid! We can fire explosives and control them remotely, leading them all-

Kina: We already heard what it does, guy, just use it.

The Captain growled in annoyance, prompting a terrifying glare from Kina. The Captain's resulting fear was quickly interrupted by the Wasp King coming up to ask a question.

The Wasp King: What, pray tell, do you think will happen if these mortars cannot destroy the Deadlander?

Termite Soldier: Hahahahah, what're you talking about?! I-i-it's totally gonna work, no reason for us to fear for our lives or the fate of any investments or-

The Termite Captain smacked the Soldier, shutting him up.

Termite Captain: Get a hold of yourself, man! These babies are Termite-made! High-quality crafts! If they can't kill that thing, nothing will!

Kina: [Considering how nothing has killed it...]

Termite Captain: ALL NON-TERMITES STEP BACK!!!

Quickly, Elizant and the Wasp King's groups obeyed and stepped away from the Mega Mortars. As the Termites took the huge weapons and aimed them North, the Captain held his arm back before pointing forward with a battle cry.

Termite Captain: FIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!!!!!

Right after, all Mega Mortars launched massive, mechanical bombs into the air. After hanging for a little the bombs revealed rocket-powered thrusters and a single eye. Meanwhile, on the ground, all Termite Soldiers held a remote control in their hands and wore what looked like goggles on their heads.

Termite Captain: The goggle-type devices my troops are wearing allow them to see wherever the bombs' optic sensors point, while the controllers let us...er, control 'em. Now, we merely need to direct these explosives towards the Deadlander, and once they reach it...KABOOM!

As the Captain gave a hearty laugh with his hands in his hips, The Wasp King groaned and shook his head before whispering to others.

Wasp King: [You lot had better be prepared. I don't think these Bugs have the sense to actually utilize their own weaponry.]

Termite Captain: What'd you say?!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the Golden Settlement, Bugs from both the Ant and Bee Kingdoms were all gathered together in large crowds. By some miracle, the Settlement remained one of the few areas not to have been reached by the Deadlander, but that didn't help calm any of the Bugs there: Bees held their sisters and tried to speak encouraging words, Ants desperately tried to remain strong and confident, and in general an air of dread hung over everyone.

In the middle of this dread, Mothiva sat cross-legged on a stump and huffed, only changing her annoyed expression when she took a sip from the Berry Juice Zasp held for her.

Mothiva: What a load of shit. I was supposed to make a big comeback, really show those Bees why I'm the best, and that moronic Ant Queen assigns me to come back to this dumb little village with the common folk, doing nothing.

Zasp: I mean, we're kinda supposed to keep them calm and-

Mothiva: Doing. Nothing.

Mothiva slapped on a forced smile when Gen and Eri walked up to her.

Gen: U-u-um, Mothiva?

Mothiva: Yeeeeeeees?

Gen: I just...just wanted to say that...just in case things go bad...Eri asked if you can give her your autograph?

Eri: What?! You wanted her autograph, I don't care!

Mothiva's eye twitched as the twin Ants argued with each other, but before she snapped she heard her partner gasp.

Zasp:...Oh gods...

Mothiva, Gen and Eri looked in the same direction Zasp was, and they joined the rest of the Golden Settlement in staring as they saw it: the Deadlander Omega had arrived, its eyes shooting bright, piercing gazes down onto them all. As Bugs all over scrambled, Zasp stood at ready in front of a shocked Mothiva, meanwhile Gen and Eri hugged each other and screamed.

Gen: IT'S GONNA CRUSH US!!!

ERI: IT'S GONNA EAT US!!!

The Deadlander took a few steps into the Settlement, stepping on and over houses and windmills, releasing a low bellow as it did. Bugs ran and screamed and hid and ducked. Some prayed, joining Acolyte Aria in a frightened, quiet plea to Venus.

Acolyte Aria: [Please, dear Venus, oh most gracious of goddesses, protect us....Save our friends and family from the threats that assault us...Defend our loves and livelihoods from the most vile of forces...]

Nearby, a Bud of Venus sighed and and whispered to itself in defeat.

Venus: [I'm so sorry, Aria...but I'm weakened. I won't be able to help...]

The Deadlander's limbs were mere inches away from Zasp...when one of the Mega Mortar's bombs exploded against its spine. The monster cried out, less in pain and more in surprise, and its gazes were turned towards the bombs raining down towards it. Even Venus stared mouth agape as the Deadlander started rushing away from the Golden Settlement, sending many faster, weaker quakes through the earth as it rushed to the origin of the attack. The Deadlander was continuously pelted by explosives from the Mega Mortars as it ran, yet when it found out the bombs were flying out of the Forsaken Land's fog it just stopped. Even as it was being attacked, the monster was reluctant to enter the shrouded wastelands, and chose instead to start running back North, towards the Lost Sands.

Termite Soldier: Captain, our bombs are only doing so much damage! And the monster...seems to be retreating?

Kina: So, that's a win, right?

Wasp King: No...if that creature is still moving it could still pose a threat. We've no way to keep ourselves safe but to end its miserable life!

Queen Elizant II: Wasp King-

Wasp King: What do you intend to say, hm? Do you object to my plan? Do you intend to talk with the monster? Become its friend? Are you a child?

Clearly the Wasp King was getting on everyone's nerves once more, and Kina was held back from assaulting him solely by her brother.

Termite Soldier: Captain, we need to start reloading!

Termite Captain: Then do it, morons, before the thing gets away!

Termite Soldier 2: Wait, Captain, my bomb's still flying! And it sees a...foreign object? Approaching the Deadlander!

Termite Captain: What in the...?

Way back in the Lost Sands, the Deadlander Omega halted as it was circled around by an object moving fast enough to make some of its eyes dizzy. The object eventually stopped, revealing itself to be the upgraded Ultimax Tank: it had glowing, blue spikes all over, an additional six cannons, powerful rockets on the sides, and a drill on the very top. Inside the tank were two Bugs: Dr. H.B. manned the weaponry of the tank whilst General Ultimax steered its movement.

Dr. H.B.: Fufufufufu! Hot damn, Fuff, see what I mean when I told you those thrusters would "rock", as the kids say?

General Ultimax: [What shenanigans, can't believe I don't get to control the guns on my own tank...]

H.B.: What was that, Fuff?

Ultimax: Don't call me-

H.B.: Oop, gotta get movin', Fuff! Hand incomin'!

Ultimax: WHAT?!

As H.B. said, one of the Omega's hands loomed towards the new-and-improved Ultimax Tank, but the General was fast enough to guide the vehicle away. As he continued driving circles around the behemoth, the cannons of the tank fired rapidly one after another, assaulting the Deadlander with explosives shells all over. The creature tried to duck and weave in spite of its size, but the tank simply moved too fast and managed to land nearly every shot.

H.B.: Haha, look at this high-octane action! I gotta make solo battle mechs more often!

Ultimax: Solo!?

H.B.: Oh, Fuff, I forgot you were there.

Ultimax:...

As the tank fired relentlessly onto the dazed Deadlander, the Termite watching with his bomb-mounted camera struggled to explain what he was seeing to the others.

Termite Soldier 2: Th-th-th-the tank's zipping left and right, runnin' circles around the Deadlander Omega! It's firing bombs at it like fireworks!

Vi: Aw man, I bet it'd be so cool to watch!

Termite Captain: Damn it, soldier, don't just stare at the monster! And you all, don't just stare at him! GET TO RELOADING!!!

Termite Soldier: Wait, is the-THE DEADLANDER'S GETTING BIGGER! IT'S-oh wait, my bomb's just getting closer to it.

Eventually the bomb reached the Deadlander Omega, and its explosion managed to knock the creature back enough, surprising and nearly hitting H.B. and Ultimax.

H.B.: Gah! Fuff, be careful!

Ultimax: Leave me alone, you insane Bee Bint!!!!!!!

H.B.:...Bint?

Ultimax: I don't know, I-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The Deadlander got scarily close, it shadow eclipsing the tank and the gaze of all its eyes piercing through towards the Bee and Hornet within. The monster growled and reached towards them, but H.B. laughed confidently

H.B.: Activating Giganto Missile!!!

With that, H.B. slammed her fist onto a button that caused a missile larger than Ultimax to launch into the air out of the tank's biggest cannon...this missile was then snatched out of the air by the Deadlander, which took a moment to observe it.

Ultimax: (Whimpering)

H.B.:[C'mon, just hold it a little bit tighter, just a smidgen...]

Eventually the Deadlander threw the Giganto Missile like it was trash, sending it straight towards the Forsaken Lands. It was just barely noticed by the Termite Captain through the fog, and he was quick to dive to the ground whilst yelling his head off.

Termite Captain: HIT THE DECK!!!

Everyone there immediately followed suit, getting down as low as possible so that the missile may zoom over them harmlessly. It managed to miss all the Bugs there, as well as the mortars, and instead crashed into the ground nearby, leaving a wide, deep crater. Even this caused a danger, as stones scattered from the blast and forced some Bugs to have to roll out of the way.

Kina: What the shit!?!?

Vi: Holy crap, that looked like something H.B. would make!

Wasp King: Damn it all, is that maniac trying to kill us?!

Before he could be answered, the Wasp King was knocked unconscious by a particularly large stone, his crown clattering onto the floor.

Elizant: No!

The Ant Queen went to pick The Wasp King up and tried to ensure he was still alive. Meanwhile, as she checked his condition, Leif looked over to his troops and noticed again how they held their heads in pain...

---------------------------------‐-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at The Hive, Bianca and Vanessa were sitting together with Yin in-between them. Both Queens had mixed looks on their faces, concerned yet confident, and tried to keep calm as they stroked the Caterpillar's back. Yin shot up and crawled away, however, when she saw the Wasps guarding the Throne Room drop to their knees.

Yin: Muh?

Queen Bianca: Yin, what's wrong?

When Vanessa noticed, she gasped and ran straight over to the Wasps. Yin grabbed one of the Wasps and started trying to heal him, meanwhile Vanessa kneeled next to the other and and placed an arm on their back.

Queen Vanessa II: Speak to me! A-are you well?

Wasp Guard: Queen...Vanessa?...Agh, gods, where am I?

Vanessa:...What?...

Vanessa then got up and ran out the Throne Room, prompting Bianca to pick Yin up and follow her out.

Bianca: Vanessa! Where are you going???

Wasp Guard: Is that the Bee Queen?...

Vanessa looked throughout The Hive's plaza and noticed Wasps left and right in pain, looking around in confusion. Eventually Vanessa made it to the balcony, where she gasped again at the sight of the Deadlander Omega.

Vanessa: I-it's in the Ant Kingdom now!!!

Bianca came to the Wasp Queen's side, and smiled brightly when she caught a glimpse of H.B. and Fuff's weapon.

Bianca: Is that the tank? Honey Bee did it, she made a weapon to fight the monster with!

Yin: Muh!!!

Vanessa: But can they stop it?...

Back at the Forsaken Lands, the Termite Captain grumbled as he got to his feet and stomped angrily to get his troops to rise as well.

Termite Captain: SOLDIERS! Are the Mega Mortars loaded?!

Termite Soldier: Sir, yes, sir!

Termite Captain:THEN FIRE!!!!!!

Without any hesitation, the Termites set the cannons up and blasted again, shooting several bombs at once in the Deadlander's direction. From afar, Bianca and Vanessa saw around a dozen massive spheres fly out of the Forsaken Lands' fog and start heading towards the colossal beast.

Vanessa: Those must be what the Termites created...

Bianca: Then Elizant was successful too! Haha, I've never been so happy to see so much weaponry!

When the Deadlander Omega saw all the bombs flying towards it, it tried running away again before the Ultimax Tank zipped in front to cut it off.

H.B.: Hey! Where do you think you're going!? You think you can just chuck my one Giganto Missile and get away with it?!?!?!

Fuff: Please stop yelling, it can't hear you...

H.B.: FIRE!!!!!!!

The Deadlander was quickly assault with another barrage of shells from the tank, forcing it backwards. As the bombs from the Mega Mortars starting hitting as well, the creature began to realize just how close to the Forsaken Lands it was. It started to panic, swinging wildly and slamming the ground in a fit. One of these slams knocked away the Ultimax Tank onto its side.

Fuff: AH! I-I-I can't drive it like this.

H.B.: And the thing's just tanking most of my shots, too...damn it, we're running out of options!

Fuff: Isn't there something?!

H.B.:...Fuff! There's a big red button around where you're sitting. Hit that and get outta the tank with me!

Fuff: What?!

H.B.: DO IT!!!

Fearfully, Fuff smacked the button H.B. mentioned and scrambled to get out as fast as he could. While the Deadlander Omega stomped around, trying to get away from both the Forsaken Lands and the bombs coming from it, it failed to notice the Ultimax Tank glowing and shaking violently. H.B. and Fuff had just barely managed to dive out of the tank when it launched itself forwards, crashing into the Deadlander (which just barely managed to catch it with three hands). After some more shaking the tank exploded in a manner even intense than the Giganto Missile did, obliterating multiple hands and even a few eyes of the Deadlander and knocking it all the way into the Forsaken Lands. As H.B. got up and cackled victoriously, Fuff gave a teary, sorrowful salute.

Fuff: *sniff*...Goodbye, Ultimax Tank...

H.B.: Did you see that??? MAN, I love a good self-destruct!

Meanwhile, the Bugs at The Hive watched the events unfold with more concerned reactions. Various Wasps looked on and asked things like "Is it dead now?" and "Holy crap, did you see that explosion?!" Queen Bianca held a hand to her mouth in fear, trying to stay composed despite the thoughts going through her mind.

Bianca: Oh gods...it was pushed into the Forsaken Lands?...Elizant...Vi...

Vanessa: [If the Forsaken Lands are where the Mother Crystal is...could there be a chance?]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Deadlander Omega stumbled backwards, the Termite Soldiers stammered and shouted over each other in disbelief and fear.

Termite Captain: Damn it, troops, what's going on!?

Termite Soldier: S-S-Sir! The D-D-D-D-

Termite Captain: TALK!!!

Termite Soldier: THE DEADLANDER'S COMING THIS WAY!!!!!

Almost right after that was shouted did the Deadlander Omega stumble and stomp towards them all, its expression dazed but its movements shaking the earth all the same. Elizant picked up the Wasp King as she and everyone else desperately tried dodging out of the way. The Wasps were the last to move, still reeling from some sort of pain, but the second they came to they flew upwards and scattered about.

Wasp Soldier: GODS, WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT?!

The Deadlander bellowed and flailed haphazardly as it stomped through, and after nearly stepping on the Termite Captain it tripped and fell one of the Forsaken Land's many massive pits.

Vi:...Ha! HAHAHA! Holy hell, we did it! It fell in a hole, we-GAH!!!

Vi and the others were shook when the ground started quaking again, and she fell over with her mouth agape when the Deadlander's remaining hands started grasping the edges of the hole it fell into. The monster slowly tried pulling itself out, its eyes darting around wildly as it let out panicked roars and screeches.

Termite Soldier: CAPTAIN! IT'S TRYING TO CRAWL OUT!!!

Termite Captain: I CAN SEE THAT, DAMMIT, I CAN SEE THAT!!!!!

The Termites all either scrambled or cowered as the Deadlander slammed its hands everywhere. As the monster struggled to escape the hole, Queen Elizant shook her head and thought to herself with the Wasp King in her arms. She remained deep in thought whilst the roars of the colossal beast send shockwaves through the land and terror through the Bugs within. Eventually she stood up and nodded confidently.

Elizant: We cannot stop now, everyone! This is the closest we have gotten to eliminating the Deadlander Omega, and if it is our only hope then we've no choice but to take advantage!! We must all do everything in our power to stop the menace: its size matters not when the many of us try with all our might!!! The moment of truth is at hand, and so we must fight!!!!

Kina: Way ahead of ya, Queenie!

Kina was quite excited to finally get into some action, so she amazed everyone with her high jumps and powerful kicks off of the Deadlander's hands and eyes. Though the dozen knives she threw at the monsters eyes seemed to do minimal damage, they got its attention away from escaping into trying to attack her. Kina's sheer speed made it impossible for the clambering monster to catch her, so the rest of the Explorers, as well as all Wasps there, joined in on the fight. Team Snakemouth sent barrages of slashes, smacks and frost into the monsters hands, Maki slammed its wrists with his blade, the Wasps showered its eyes with spears, and all managed to get furious-sounding roars out of the trapped creature. All the while the Termites just watched, paralyzed with fear, though they were called to attention once more by Kina.

Kina: Why are you sissies all just standing there?! Force it back in!!!

Confused and concerned, the Termites looked to the Ant Queen, who held a hand to her chest with a calm but confident question of her own.

Elizant: The Mega Mortars still work, do they not?

After a moment the Termite Captain's eyes narrowed and he chuckled.

Termite Captain:...Indeed they do. TROOPS! Deactivate Remote Control Mode on the explosives! We're firing point blank...

Termite Soldiers: Aye-aye, Captain!

With a newfound strength, the Termites readied their weapons once more and fired another barrage of bombs onto the Deadlander. Though it remained hanging on the edge of the hole, the attacks did serve to make it panic further, leading it to grasp and slam even more as it forced the Bugs to back off. Leif fired Icefall after Icefall and was slowly losing his morale when he found how little effect they seemed to have.

Leif: Damn it, the thing's not freezing!

Vi: Keep going, it's gotta work sometime!

Kabbu: There must be another way, isn't there?

Maki was about to answer when he heard a scream. He was terrified to see the Deadlander Omega with Kina trapped in the grasp of one of its hands, her eyes wide with fear as it growled threatening at her. Maki barely damaged the creature when he jumped onto one of its hand and batted at another, but he had distracted it enough to let himself pry the hand that held Kina open. The second its grasp was loosened the Mantis siblings grabbed onto each other and leapt off, tumbling over and narrowly avoiding another, smaller pit. As soon as they stopped rolling Maki got up and carried Kina on his back as the Deadlander tried and barely failed to crush them both. Kina rested her head on her brother's as tears poured out of her eyes.

Kina: Eeeeeeeeeehhh, Makiiiiii, holy craaaaaaaap!!!!!

Maki: Kina, Kina, it's alright...

Termite Soldier: I-I'm not sure it's-

Termite Captain: If bombs don't work more bombs will, just keep going! FIRE!!!

Though the Termites continued blasting the Deadlander, it still slowly crawled out of the pit, only barely fazed by their strongest attacks.

Kabbu: This can't be! I-I-Is there anything we haven't tried yet?!

Leif looked all over in spite of his exhaustion, and an idea came to him when he saw the Wasp King's crown on the floor.

Leif:...We think there's one thing...

Vi: Leif? What are you doing?!

Leif didn't answer Vi's question, only running over to the fallen crown and putting it on his own head.

Kabbu: Th-the crown?

Vi: That's just a hat, you moron, it doesn't even look good on you!

Leif: If we're right about this, then...

Leif pointed one arm forward and started summoning another Icefall. He was surprised, then, when the ice formed faster, larger, and more fiercely then it ever had before. It was strong enough that he struggled to remain standing, let alone steady, so Kabbu and Vi ran up to his back and held onto him.

Vi: Leif, when the hell could you do this?!

Leif: W-we couldn't!

Kabbu: Could this be the crown's doing?...

Elizant: Leif...

Eventually the ice got bigger than Leif could handle, so he fired it off at one of the Deadlander's eyes. It immediately froze completely solid, weighing the monster down and getting it to roar again. Team Snakemouth all stared in awe as the monster started clawing at its own frozen body part, almost forgetting where they were until one of its massive hands reached for them. At that point Leif fired another blast of ice, powerful enough to encase the hand in a powerful ice crystal. While Vi giggled excitedly at the power Leif now possessed, Kabbu ran towards the frozen hand with a battle cry.

Kabbu: Begone, monster! Get away from our home and stop bringing terror to its citizens!!!

When Kabbu crashed into the frozen hand, he knocked into a nearby stone hard enough to chip off a few of the fingers. It was then that Leif got it, and he stood up to shout out the new plan as he readied more powerful ice blasts.

Leif: It'll be more vulnerable when its frozen! Everybody, aim for the hands! We'll freeze them and then you all can shatter them!

Vi: Sick idea, Leif!

Termite Captain: You heard the Moth! Aim for any and all frozen appendages that you see!

As the attacks against the Deadlander grew more fierce its cries and swinging grew wilder and wilder. Vi and the Wasps flew into the air to rain spears and needles onto the monster's eyes, getting it to claw at them furiously. They all dodged out of the way while Kabbu held Leif and allowed him to charge up further attacks. When Leif was ready he shot multiple icy blasts at the Deadlander's hands, leaving three of them frozen, easy targets for the Mega Mortars. Though the Deadlander Omega managed to block some of the bombs, enough slipped through to blast the three frozen hands into hundreds of pieces. As the colossus convulsed in pain, it slammed everywhere with a few of its remaining hands, making sure to hang tightly to the pits edges whilst it crushed several of the Mega Mortars.

Termite Captain: DAMN IT, OUR WEAPONS!!!

Knowing how important the mortars were, Elizant rushed in and managed to carry one out of the Deadlander's reach right before it could be smashed. The Termites all stared at her and muttered in admiration (even the Captain), but she was quick to stop and refocus their attention.

Elizant: I need as much ammunition as you can bring me, all of you!

Termite Captain: A-a-aye-aye, Queen Elizant! Troops, get her some bombs! And once she's armed the rest of you go man whatever mortars are still standing!

Termite Soldiers: Sir, yes, sir!!!

The Termites were quick to scramble towards the bombs and mortars, setting them up for the continued attack. The Deadlander gave a bellowing growl as it stared at Elizant, who stood confidently whilst her mortar was loaded. When two of its hands lunged forward to attack her they were quickly frozen by Leif. The monster barely had the time to screech again as its hands were quickly shattered by the Ant Queen's cannon, and though it tried grabbing it her she was able to dash away, Mega Mortar in hand, and await more ammunition.

Elizant: Hurry, Soldiers! I need you!

Termite Captain: Damn it, Your Highness, we're running out of ammo!

The Termites struggled to help, however, as the Deadlander continued shaking the ground and attacking their weapons, even as its hands were shattered.

Kabbu: Queen Elizant!...Aha!

Kabbu noticed a lone bomb and the ground and quickly dashed towards it, leaving Vi to support Leif on her own.

Vi: Kabbu, what the hell???

Leif: It's fine, Vi, we think we're getting the hang of this!

Vi; Yeah, right!

Meanwhile, Kabbu grabbed the bomb and continued sprinting over to Elizant, narrowly avoiding some of the Deadlander's swipes before he reached her. After seeing Kabbu's dodges, Vi gasped and patted Leif on the back excitedly.

Vi: You got this, Leif!

Before Leif could question anything Vi let go of him and ran off to follow Kabbu. Though not perfectly steady Leif was at least able to stand as he continued charging, meanwhile Elizant took the bomb from Kabbu with a nod and readied her cannon once more.

Elizant: Now for the perfect moment...

Vi: Kabbu, I got an idea!

Without warning Vi grabbed Kabbu and laboriously carried him into the air, trying to hold tight as he flailed and squealed.

Kabbu: VI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!?!?

Vi: Don't yell at me, yell at the monster! We gotta get its attention!

Kabbu: What!?

Vi: All you Wasps! Fly up with me! We gotta annoy that thing!

Wasp Soldier: Are you nuts?!

Leif took a moment to think before he understood what Vi was trying.

Leif: [It's so risky...but if it works...] Listen to her! Get flying!

The Wasps all suddenly jolted to attention before they flew up, joining Vi in the air as Kabbu cleared his throat and tried getting a taunt ready.

Kabbu: Y-Y-you vile beast! Do you not know what we are capable of??? No matter your size or power, our combined forces can eliminate anything! Even a horrific, destructive creature such as yourself!!!

The Deadlander roared again, sending all but two of its remaining hands at Kabbu to try and snatch him out of the sky. The Wasps, for their part, all gathered together around Kabbu and Vi before throwing a barrage of spears and needles down onto the Deadlander's eyes. Though it hardly took much damage, the monster was seemingly enraged enough to start reaching even more fiercely, even pulling itself out of the hole a little.

Leif: C'mon...

Elizant: Stay still...

Leif: Just gotta wait...

Elizant: I must make this count...

When the hands were all in position, Leif launched an extra-powerful Icefall, knocking himself over but freezing all the hands reaching for Kabbu into one huge chunk of ice. As the frozen limbs crashed to the ground with their combined weight, Elizant aimed her final blast and launched the bomb straight into the icy chunk, obliterating the hands within. Vi and the Wasps cheered at their apparent victory but were silenced when the Deadlander crawled out of the hole and grasped Leif with the two hands it had left.

Leif: Gah...y-you...AGH!

The Deadlander growled with every one of its eyes staring Leif down, threatening to crush him in its grip. It took the last of Leif's power to freeze the hands holding him, enraging the monster once more.

Kabbu:...Unhand my friend, you utter MENACE!

But the Deadlander ignored him, keeping its eyes on Leif. The creature began lifting its frozen hands as if it intended to drag Leif into the hole with it.

Vi: HE SAID PUT HIM DOWN!!!

Vi put all her might into bringing Kabbu horn-first towards the Deadlander's frozen hands, and the Beetle managed to pierce clean through the monster's chilled wrists, severing the hands from the rest of its body. With Vi and Kabbu now right by the ice Leif was still trapped in, they grabbed their ally and attempted to pull him out.

Kabbu: Worry not, Leif, we will retrieve you!

But the Deadlander continued staring at Leif, growling as it crawled as best as it could and towered over him and his teammates.

Vi: What? You think we'll let you take him?! You'll need to do something REAL bad to separate us!

Kabbu: We are Team Snakemouth! No matter what happens, we will continue to fight for each other and for the peace of all lands!!!

Leif: Guys...

The Deadlander Omega roared again, but was interrupted when Queen Elizant II threw her Mega Mortar directly at one of its eyes. As the creature reeled and slipped back into the hole, the Ant Queen ran up to it and delivered a punch strong enough to shatter a boulder straight into the same eye. With that final blow, the Deadlander fell into the pit, no hands to grab the edges with, and released a seemingly endless roar as it faded from view. This roar was only interrupted by heavy quake, shaking the Forsaken Lands one final time before things went silent once again.

Kina:...Ah, gods...is it done?...

Maki: Yeah...I think it is...

Kina: Ahhhh, fffuck...

Queen Elizant wasted no time in prying open the frozen hands that trapped Leif, and as soon as he was free Kabbu and Vi jumped in to squeeze the Moth in a powerful hug.

Leif: Your Majesty, you...saved us...

Elizant: Leif, your plan saved all of Bugaria.

Vi: What the-he didn't do it alone!!!!!

Kabbu: Vi...

Elizant: No, Kabbu, she is right. Her idea helped us seal the victory, as did the might of your horn.

Kabbu scratched his head and blushed while Vi huffed with a smug face.

Elizant: But the Wasps helped as well, as did the Termites with their weaponry...

The Ant Queen had more whom she wanted to thank, but she was interrupted by the Wasp King groaning and getting up.

Elizant: And you...

The Wasp King:...Gah...my...my crown! Where is my crown!?!?!?

Elizant: Hoaxe, was it?

Hoaxe: You...how dare you-what!?

The once "King" of the Wasps noticed Leif wearing the crown he was typically seen with, and he was filled with a burning rage before running straight towards the Moth and his friends.

Hoaxe: Give me back my crown, you-

Hoaxe was quickly hit with a powerfully chilling blast, encasing all but his head in a giant block of ice.

Hoaxe: What the-gah! M-my flames! They can't melt it!

Leif: Yeah, we're thinking that the ice we just used is too strong for you to melt.

Vi: Either that or your powers just suck too much!

Kabbu: It could be both!

Team Snakemouth shared a small laugh, though Hoaxe growled and glared at them.

Elizant: Leif, I'm not quite certain I understand...What is that crown?

Leif: We're not certain either, Your Highness, but if we had to guess...

Leif took the crown off his head and looked up to see the Wasps in the air clutching their heads once more, before one looked to the ground in confusion.

Wasp Soldier: What the-?...Did...did we win?

Leif:...We think the crown somehow gave Hoaxe the ability to control the Wasps, which is how he stole Queen Vanessa's throne.

Hoaxe: I had earned the throne from that weakling!!!

Leif: What's more, we noticed that he never used his fire when he didn't have it on. Made us think he needed it for those flames to be full-strength.

Kabbu: So it must increase the power of whatever magic you have!

Vi: That was probably why it gave you that crazy super ice! Cool, can I try it?

Leif:...

Vi: What, I just wanna see...maybe use it...just a little?

Leif: Even if that weren't an awful idea, we don't think anyone should have power like this.

Hoaxe: What are you doing?...

Leif held the crown tightly in his hands and encased it in a small block of ice before throwing it into another of the Forsaken Lands many holes, ignoring the furious shouts of Hoaxe.

Hoaxe: No!!! My crown!!! You wretched pest, I will incinerate you when I get out of here!!!

Wasp Soldier: Hoaxe?

Hoaxe: Wha-

Hoaxe looked around, terrified to notice all the Wasps he once controlled looking at him with various negative emotions on their faces.

Hoaxe:...I am your King! Do you hear me, I am your King!!!

Wasp Soldier: Dude, shut up.

Leif: We're sorry, Wasps, for what you had endure under his boot. And, uhhh, sorry for our commands too...

Wasp Soldier: Hey, at least things'll go back to normal now, right?

Termite Soldier: Are you kidding? That monster broke shit all over, it'll takes moons to fix!

Vi: Well, hey, we worked together to beat the monster! We can work together to fix stuff too, right?

Leif: Well, well, a solution from Vi that's more than just hitting stuff.

Vi: Yeah, I'm kinda smart, honestly.

Leif rolled his eyes and lightly smacked Vi in the back of the head, annoying her and getting Kabbu and Elizant to chuckle heartily. Their laughter proved to be contagious, as everyone there but Hoaxe ended up joining in. It was for more than a simple joke, though. They laughed for they had won. They were successful in stopping the Deadlander Omega, and it looked like peace would return to all their Kingdoms...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at The Hive, Bianca and Vanessa stood with worried expressions as they waited to hear on what happened in the Forsaken Lands. They hadn't seen the Deadlander, so they had to wonder: were Elizant and her group successful? The two Queens didn't think on it much more as Elizant and her Explorers (as well as some Wasps and Termites) arrived at the Hive's Plaza, looking battle-worn but otherwise safe.

Bianca: Oh! Vi!!!

The Bee Queen rushed over to her daughter and lifted the little Bee up, squeezing her tight and kissing her cheek repeatedly. Meanwhile, Yin had crawled up towards Bianca's legs before seeing Maki again and opening her arms wide.

Yin: Muh!!!

Maki: Yin! Oh, thank all the gods you're safe!

Maki kneeled down and patted Yin on the head with a bright smile across his face. Normally Kina would be annoyed by her brother giving so much attention to someone else, but between what they just went through and the sheer joy he seemed to have she couldn't help but smile along. Meanwhile, Vi was half-playfully trying to fly out of her mother's loving grip.

Vi: Queen Bianca, c'mon!!!

Bianca: Oh, my child, I have before never been so proud as I am now with you and your friends and...

Bianca briefly loosened her hold on Vi and gave a warm, calm smile to Elizant, who even then looked away as though embarrassed.

Bianca: Elizant...I am eternally grateful. You guided my daughter to safety. You guided all of these Bugs to safety.

Elizant: B-B-Bianca, please...I only played a small part in this victory.

Vanessa: Mayhaps, Elizant, but you are a Queen. A leader. Surely you deserve at least a bit of credit...

Vanessa was caught off-guard when she saw some of her Wasps carrying an angry and restrained Hoaxe into the Hive's Plaza.

Wasp Soldier: Queen Vanessa! We have the usurper!

Vanessa: So you do...

Vanessa took some steps towards Hoaxe, who glared up at her like he intended to bite her neck.

Hoaxe: You idiot! You are ALL idiots! I will escape, and when I do I will burn your Kingdoms to the ground!!!

Vanessa: Hoaxe...you came to my home battered and bruised, nearly dead, and yet with all you have done afterwards I still feel I may have been too nice...

Queen Vanessa sighed and shook her head.

Vanessa:...But...I think you may have a chance, perhaps even the right, for improvement.

Hoaxe: I need no such thing!!!!!

Vanessa:...However long it takes...

Vi: So, like, how were you guys gonna celebrate our victory? Statues or something?

Leif: We could go for a feast.

Vi: A feast??? Bro, are you kidding??? We can eat whenever we want, what the hell do we need a feast for???

Fuff: If I may interject, I could really go for some feasting...

The Bugs there were surprised when General Fuff and Dr. H.B. made their way into the plaza. Bianca was most excited, softly putting down Vi before running up to the Doctor and giving her a hug as well.

Bianca: Honey Bee! The machine you and General Fuff made helped save all of Bugaria.

H.B.: Heh, I know.

Vanessa: Fuff...

Vanessa made her to Fuff, who wrapped his arms around her and nearly burst into frightful tears.

Fuff: OH GODS, QUEEN VANESSA, I THOUGHT I WAS A GONERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Vanessa: F-Fuff!...I am so...so sorry you had to go through all that. Just know that you are a hero, and shall be awarded as such.

Vi: But how're we gonna do that?!

Elizant: We shall head to the Golden Settlement. There the plans for reward, as well as restoration, shall be discussed further.

Kabbu: Ah, restoration, of course! That monster caused all sorts of damage...

Kina: Can we even fix it all?

Vi: I mean, we took the thing down, that was pretty crazy!

Elizant: Regardless, we shall move towards the Golden Settlement. Termites, I suggest you bring your King as well. He is very much welcome, and if he is willing I have a proposition for him and the Queen.

Termite Captain: Understood, Queen Elizant! Troops, to the Termite Dome!

The Termite Soldiers there gave a collective salute and "Aye-aye!" before marching towards the Hive's elevator with their Captain. The Ant Queen walked too, Leif and the other explorers following behind as Bianca and Vanessa prepared to come themselves. Leif walked ahead of his team and the rest of the Explorers, moving right alongside Elizant.

Leif: [Is it us or did the Termite Captain sound respectful?]

Elizant: [I feel he did as well...]

Elizant remained quiet afterwards, deep in thought as she continued moving.

Elizant: [...Have things been repaired between my kingdom and the Termites? The monster was terrifying, but if it's pushed me to improve things so much...mother, I pray I am honoring your legacy...]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugs from all over, all Kingdoms, gathered in the Golden Settlement to celebrate surviving the Deadlander. The mood was very different from what it was earlier, as if the Golden Festival was happening again: many Bugs were still scared or worried, but at the same time there was relief, joy, safety. Some even prayed, not for Venus's protection but to praise and thank her. The Bugs were eventually brought to attention when Queen Elizant II came to the stage in the center of the settlement, and they watched with bated breath as she stood firmly.

Elizant: People of Bugaria and beyond, my subjects and my children, both and neither. It brings me infinite comfort to inform you all that the Deadlander Omega has been conquered, and shall no longer harass and damage our beloved homes!

Immediately Bugs erupted in cheers, Bees and Wasps buzzed into the air with joy as Ants and Termites hugged and lifted each other cheerily.

Elizant: Make no mistake, however, I am far from the only one who should be credited: I give great thanks to my Explorers, especially Team Snakemouth, without whom the creature may never have been stopped.

Vi: Especially, Leif, yeahhhhh!!!!!!

Kabbu clapped and cheered right alongside Vi, nearly drowning out the crowd all on his own in his support. Leif, for his part, just stood lax and content.

Elizant: I must also thank the Termite Kingdom, and the Wasp Kingdom, whose people granted us the means to reach and fight the Deadlander in the best manner possible.

Once more cheers rang aloud, as the Wasps bowed respectfully and Termites gave strong salutes.

Elizant: I thank Queen Bianca and Vanessa for their support, and I thank two of their Kingdoms' most esteemed members for creating a machine that helped greatly in taking the monster down: much praise goes to Dr. H.B. and General Fuff!

As the crowd cheered again H.B. gave her signature laugh with a proud fist on her hip and an arm around Fuff, who was blushing with his face in his hands.

Elizant: And yes...even the "Wasp King" was instrumental in taking down the menace...

Before Elizant continued she looked over to Vanessa, who glanced away at the mention of the usurper.

Elizant:...However, it cannot be understated how he abused Bugs from both his own Kingdom and all of ours. From attacking my subjects to forcing his own into unquestioned servitude. As such, he has been incarcerated for his actions, and I shall assist in the return of the Wasp Kingdom's Throne to its rightful ruler, Queen Vanessa II!

Vanessa gasped when she heard her name, and when Elizant came to grab her hand and bring her to the stage she could barely do anything but stammer.

Vanessa: E-E-Elizant! I...[I do not deserve that throne...after my failures, I-]

Bianca: Worry not, Vanessa! All our kingdoms shall be supporting each other!

Elizant: Absolutely! The Bee and Ant Kingdoms shall do everything in our power to help with the Wasp Kingdom's restoration.

Bianca: And of course, Elizant, we shall help with cleaning up your own home as well.

Elizant: And if the Termite Royals are willing...

Elizant looked to King Hector IV, who was standing borderline stone-faced with his soldiers.

Elizant:...We shall dedicate as many resources as we are able to repairing the Termite Dome.

Hector glared at the Ant Queen for a moment, but then he just sighed and shook his head.

Hector:...Very well. And just so you don't think we owe you a favor, the Termites will contribute our brilliant technology to trivialize the restoration efforts.

H.B. rolled her eyes.

H.B.: [Yeah right, like it's better than my work.]

At any rate, the crowd blew up in cheers and applause again, catching the Termite King off-guard and getting him just a little flustered.

Elizant: This is the start of a new era! Tonight we shall feast, and then we shall unite to create a beautiful future! All our Kingdoms will work to not just repair Bugaria, but turn it into a land more prosperous than any of us ever could have dreamed of!!!

Cheering broke out one last time, with Bugs all throughout the Golden Settlement celebrating the future that was to come. Though weak, a lone Bud of Venus's stayed close by, listening in on the merriment. Considering the anguish and fear she had to listen to before, the Goddess smiled softly as she listened to the crowd.

Venus:...Bugs are such fascinating things...So small, but they can do so much...

The celebration was loud and hearty, and it went on all through the night. It was almost as if the terrors from just before never happened. True to Queen Elizant's word, efforts on restoration went into full-force very shortly after the celebration. Bees and Termites lent their technology, whilst Ants lent their strength. The Wasp Kingdom was prioritized initially, but it didn't take long for things to improve everywhere, for everyone. For her cooperation and leadership, Queen Elizant II quickly grew to be favored by the public, both within and outside her Kingdom. Her willingness to unite Bugaria proved to be very successful, and in her work and success she eventually forgot all about the Everlasting Sapling. Seeing no need for the Sapling to improve her life or the life or her subjects, its legacy as a legend continued on, with the artifacts simply remaining in the Ant Kingdom.

Even the Termites were happy with the Ant Queen's efforts, to the point that before the Dome was fully repaired it had been decreed that Ants were once more allowed within Termite Kingdom territory. Between the Ant Tunnels and various machines from all Kingdoms, entry into and out of the Termite Dome became easier than it had ever been. At some point, the Forsaken Lands became even more abandoned than it already was, usually only being traveled by those seeking for scares or thrills...but convenience was not the only reason those lands stopped seeing travelers. For if one were to enter, and visit near largest pits, one could supposedly experience low rumbling, feel the slightest of quakes, and hear the echoes of distant growls and roars...

More Anim vs Bug Fables I can't stop thinking about the AU.

And yes, Alan is a Deadlander Omega because yknow. You only ever see their claws + eyes and all they do is drop random shit on you and watch you fight. Hes a little spooky
