[VRMMO] Dead One

[Sometime later.]

"I know that you want to meet the green antmans as soon as possible GreyHunt, but should we really rush in like this?" – asked Rampage as she and group of 5 people that includes GreyHunt, ClownFrog, Blueberry, Tail and Lil have walked though the forests area while being accompanied by the red antmans.

"We should." – replied GreyHunt as he shot down an monster that leaped at him, killing the beast.

"We are running out of time, so its better to find out first if we can somehow recruit the green antmans or see what they would need."

"Not only that, we also need to see if these guys are even alive in the first place, since things could have changed ever since the red antmans were enslaved."

"There could be an chance that the green ones have suffered some heavy damages OR could have been eradicated."

"So before we even try and recruit them, we need to see if these guys are still are alive."

"Well, he isn't wrong." – said Blueberry was flying above the group and scouting the surroundings.

"We can ponder all we want, but if green antmans are already gone, then all of it would be for nothing."

"Green. Antmans. Strong. But. They. Aren't. Only. Strong. Ones. Here." – said red antman Ka who had his missing arm replaced with an mechanical one.

"Green. Strongest. Out. Of. 3. Of. Us."

"But. Still. Worried. No. News. Heard. Ever. Since. Enslavement."

"Check. Need."

"See? Even Ka and the others agree with me." – said GreyHunt.

"Anyway, Ka. Where is their nest exactly?"

"Close. Nearby. Soon. Arrive." – said Ka as he pointed forward.

"Come. Come."

The antmans led the group through the thick forested area where countless beast type monsters were roaming around.

However, this did not stopped the group as they ventured further where they arrived in the area where giaganting trees were located that covered the skies with their branches an leaves.

"Wait." – said Pa as he stepped forward and walked to the empty space where there was only grass.

"…."

"NAME! PA! WARRIOR! OF! RED SHELLS!" – shouted Pa to the air.

"COME! DISSUSION! WITH! GREEN BURROW! TRIBE!"

"…."

"…."

The silence came after Pa stopped shouting…. But then moments later, Blueberry and ClownFrog sensed something moving before moments later the sound of something crawling around could be heard.

From the trees nearby, there was an movement that was noticed by everybody that got alarmed, but were quickly calmed down when Pa gave signal to calm down.

The group watched as the source of the movement were the green antmans that were climbing down from the trees before then arriving at the ground and then approaching Pa.

"Red. Antman. Alive?" – asked green antman with spear and lower half body of an ant.

"Yes. And. Not. Me. Only." – replied Pa.

"Entire. Tribe. Rescued. By them." – said Pa as he pointed at ClownFrog who was in his dragon form.

"Not. Only. That. But. They. Helped. Us. They. Let. Us. Have. Our. Revenge."

"Traitors."

"Brown. Antmans."

"Punished."

"Annihilated."

"Red. Antmans. Rescued."

"Green. Antmans. Will. Not. Be. Attacked."

"!"

The green antmans looked at each other in confusion and shock upon hearing the news, before then turning back towards Pa and noticing the scar over his and other antmans body as well cyborg modification that had been used to replace the missing limbs.

"What. Happened?" – asked green antman.

"Tortured. Starved." – replied Pa.

"Used. As. Slaves."

"Used. As. Food."

"Until. Recused."

"Saved. Helped. Recovering. Saviors."

"…."

The green antmans looked at the giant ClownFrog that was towering over them.

"Your. Doing?" – asked visible nervous green antman as he ClownFrog stared at him from above.

"Yes." – replied ClownFrog, but scaring the antmans somewhat upon giving an reply.

"…."

ClownFrog changed his form to his humanoid form, alarming and surprising the antmans.

"Is this better? I saw you were somewhat unease with me using my real form." – asked ClownFrog.

"…."

The antmans didn't knew what to said and just kept quiet.

"…."

"Reason. Visit." – asked nervous green antman.

"Talk." – replied Pa.

"Master."

"Want. To. Talk. About. Recruitment. Or. Alliance. Of. The. Green. Antmans."

"Will. Not. Harm. Friendly. Approach."

"We. They. Talk. Peacefully."

"…" – the green antmans moved away from the group and began whispering with each other in secret.

"…"

"What do you think?" – whispered Lil.

"I don't know." – whispered back Tail.

"They look okay and well fed as well."

"Their equipment isn't as good as red or brown antmans."

"But I can't give an proper answer yet."

"…."

The green antmans talked with each other for some time before then approaching the red antman.

"We. Are. Glad. You. Are. Okay." – said green antman in leather armor.

"However. We. Don't. Know. About. Them."

"We. Don't. Know. Them."

"But. They. Helped. With. Traitors. And. Fanatics."

"We. Can. Ask. The. King. For. Audience. Since. They. Have. Shown. Good. Will."

"Sorry for butting in, but how long it would take for us to get an audience with the king of the green antmans?" – asked GreyHunt who approached the red and green antmans.

"Don't. Know." – replied green antman.

"Then is it possible for us to meet him soon? We are in quiet situation right now."

"Don't. Know." – replied green antman.

"Give. Us. Day."

(And a day is something we cannot waste.) – though GreyHunt who kept his cool and gave signal to Pa.

"Please. Urgent." – said Pa.

"…."

"Sorry. Unknown. We. Don't. Know. Them. Give. Us. Time." – replied the green antman.

"Come. Here. Tomorrow. Answer. We. Will. Give."

Moments later, the green antmans dispersed and climbed on top of the towering trees, before then disappearing out of the group sight.

"…."

"So…. What now? Do we wait for their reply?" – asked Rampage.

"…Well, they have just made that camp of theirs, so I doubt there will be a lot of strong people in there, so we have still time." – replied GreyHunt.

"But we will be somewhat fucked if their camps changed into an village."

"It would be for the best if we came up with the answer and start preparing for it, before they upgrade their newly build settlement."

"GreyHunt is right." – said ClownFrog.

"We can wait few days, since creating an settlements does take time and according to the spies, they are not using things like construction time golems, meaning that they will be doing things at normal pace."

"There is also things like shops and especially alchemy shops where they would be selling stuff like potions."

"There is also food and armor shops."

"Pretty much, it will take time for people to take even slightest interested in that place, since one thing is coming here and other is surviving without proper means."

"The settlement was only made AND its only camps."

"Its straight up nothing and the only players here are some greedy idiots or people that prepared themselves somewhat, thinking that they would be able to handle themselves."

"But once this thing becomes an village and they would start doings stuff like building shop or selling house to the people that those people in question could use to turn them into their own bases."

"And that is something we want to avoid."

"We still have time."

"But, WE CANNOT let them build an developer village." – said ClownFrog as he turned back into his dragon from.

"Let's go back home and wait for their reply."

(We can wait. But we need to watch each and every single movement made by the first prince faction.) – though ClownFrog as he began walking back towards his base alongside the others.

(What if they do decide to bring construction type golems in to the mix?)

(If they do THAT! Then the time we would have would get drastically cut down and that could possibly force us to take more drastic measures.)

(There is also an good chance that the Red Lions themselves could come here for very obvious reasons and we definitely don't want those bastards of all the people to be here.)

(But we also cannot waste too much time dealing with the green antmans.)

(If the negotiation would take too long, we would need to think of an different way of doing things…. But the problem is that we don't know what else to do.)

(If worst comes to worst. We will enslave the green antmans and have them do the suicide run against the first prince camps where the antmans and the empire forces would destroy each other.)

(So let's hope for their sake that they will be "friendly" with us.)

[Next day – The meeting spot from the day before.]

"King. Agreed. To. Talk." – said green antmans.

"But. Only. Red. Antmans. And. Up. To. 2. Non. Red. Antmans."

"…."

"Well, I will have to go, no matter what." – said ClownFrog.

"I will go as well." – said GreyHunt.

"Does anybody have any objections?"

"Nah. I'm not an politician type. So, I'm good with not going." – said Rampage.

"Same here." – said Tail as Lil nodded her head, saying that she is also good with not going.

"Well, I wanted to go…. But I guess its better to have GreyHunt to go with you." – said Blueberry as she approached ClownFrog.

"I will also keep watch in case you know what." – whispered Blueberry to ClownFrog ear.

ClownFrog nodded his head before then turning towards the antmans and walking towards them alongside GreyHunt as well as red antmans.

"We are ready." – said ClownFrog.

"Lead the way."
