《The Egotistical Ruler [DROPPED]》Chapter 17: Search and Rescue

Whatever
Two mosquitos appeared before Khan and one behind Emperor. They were surrounded but they were anything but scared. Emperor wanted to test out his skill and Khan was enjoying finally being free of the infernal cage of spikes.
-Minotaur Charge
Emperor charged ferociously at his single opponent while Khan roared.
All stats increased by 1 temporalily due to ally's skill
'Sweet'
Emperor then hit the mosquito head on since it was shaken by the roar. He didn't kill it in one hit but he kept pushing and smashed it into a wall. Like a bug hit by a flyswatter it splattered blood and guts everywhere as it died. Emperor turned around to see both the mosquitos that were in front of Khan already dead.
"What took you so long" said Khan
'Impressive, I have to watch him fight next time so I can copy one of his skills. It was too hard when I was on the receiving end of them.'
They left the cage and navigated the maze for a little while. Soon they found a spiked cage that obviously was too weak and small to hold a monster. Emperor saw some humans in the cage so he said.
-Let's break down this cage
"That's not right, no Minotaur would be stuck in there." replied Khan
-But what if it's a fairly young Minotaur or something else that'll help us. If it's not we can always eat it.
Khan said "Sounds good to me"
Khan began to charge at the spiked cage. It hit hard and resounded a cracking noise as cracks spread across the branches.
'This'll work well'
-Minotaur Charge
Khan backed up then initiated another charge synchronized with Emperor. After a few timely bashes and charges the wall fell. Khan was disappointed, Emperor was content, and the people were ecstatic. Soon all 12 of the people in the cage were following them. Whenever mosquitos appeared they would distract it by running close to them allowing Emperor's and Khan's charges to hit them easily.

~4 in-game hours later~
They managed to find a total of 100 of the villagers that were abducted but they didn't find any Minotaurs or Satyrs. The villagers were in high spirits after being rescued plus the maze made it easier to fight any mosquitos that came down. But soon a slight rumbling was heard and the buzzing got louder.
"The hordes of bugs are about to come out, they'll surely notice us. We have 2 hours until they attack to prepare. What do you think Emperor" said Kendrick, who was among those rescued.
-We're going back towards the entrance to the caverns, that's where the tunnels are the thinnest. The bugs will struggle to fight while we can bottleneck them.
"Sounds good, which way to the entrance?" asked Khan
-Follow me
Emperor lead them to the tunnel entrance to the lake chamber. It was relatively close so it didn't take long to get there. They began to funnel into the tunnel. Soon they found a small swarm of mosquitos that was demolished by their numbers before they could even react. Further in the tunnels they found Stagola and the three kids. They quickly explained the situation then set off towards the lake cavern.
When they reached the chamber the villagers cried out in shock from the sight. Apparently the mosquitos knock out their victims somehow before bringing them here, most likely they drain them of blood which makes them faint. They begin to run around the lake. Most of them at this point were armed with various weapons: bones, bug chitin, spare weapons that were on their body before they got abducted, rocks, etc. So the villagers were able to kill the larvae that launched themselves out of the lake. The mosquitos that normally swarmed around the top of the cavern were gone. Apparently there's tunnels near the top too and they're all rallying in a deeper chamber for an attack.

Eventually they reached the tunnel leading to the surface. They began to take up positions around various areas to fight the imminent swarm. The area was eerily quiet as the buzzing wasn't heard at all. Soon enough the ground began to rumble and the buzzing, previously unheard, became unbearably loud. Around the corner the first mosquito came around and the war against the swarm started

The Pig and the Frog
~completed~What do you want to be Beatrice? I mean when you grow up." Tobias says, while we share our last moments together. We lay on the grass. Two six year olds. Laying in our spot looking at the sky. I look over to him, into his sky blue eyes and smile. "You know what. I want to be a frog. I never have to leave you. And I can jump so high I can touch the sky. And I'll be free. Oh everything would be amazing!"He smiles at me and giggles. "I want to be a pig. Never have to leave you. AND I get to be as messy as I want!" We both burst into laughter. I'm going to miss this. I hear my mother calling me and my eyes fill with tears. "I'm going to miss you Toby!" I wrap my small arms around him and look into his chubby little face. "I will miss you to, Trissy."
