The Ant Bully2006

Hova:
[sees Zoc coming in humming happily to himself but doesn't see Lucas] Where's Lucas?

Zoc:
Isn't he with you?

Hova:
[confused] No.

Zoc:
Lucas? Lucas? Huh, that's weird. Well, he's probably off destroying some other poor, unfortunate colony. You know how they are, destroyers.

Hova:
Zoc, what did you do?

Zoc:
Wha-what did I do?

Hova:
Where is he?

Zoc:
He's gone. [Hova runs out to look for him but Zoc stops her] He lead you into a trap, Hova.

Hova:
There was no trap. He lead us to food, he was trying to protect us from-from...

Zoc:
From what, Hova? What?

Hova:
From something.

Zoc:
[sarcastically] Oh, something. And I was worried it was from nothing. [angrily] He's blinded you, Hova.

Hova:
[angrily] No, you are the one that's blind. You are so consumed from your hatred for the humans, you only see what you want to see.

Zoc:
Oh, come on.

Hova:
[calmly] Zoc, I see a young pupa, a human learning our ways, becoming part of this colony, becoming an ant.

Zoc:
Impossible.

Hova:
Listen to yourself, Zoc! A wizard knows no such word! So what are you now? [on the verge of tears] Certainly not the ant I love. [walks away from Zoc]

Zoc:
Hova, I did it for you. For the colony.

Hova:
You did it for yourself.

Zoc:
Hova, I... [hesitates not knowing to say]

Fugax:
He won't make it through the night alone.

Kreela:
Fugax, your leg's still broken.

Fugax:
Yeah, well, I still got five good ones. Very good ones.

Kreela:
You know, I think he really was trying to protect us from something. See ya, Zoc. [leaves the room with a heartbroken Zoc]
