Pact of Alliance between Humans and Ants

[Luka's Side]

Luka: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Luka was still flying towards the sky, and just now gravity captured him, making him fall.

Luka: 'ILLIAS PLEASE SAVE ME!!!'

Then Luka braced himself for the impact with the castle's wall, and crashed in the castle's cellar.

?: Kyaaaa!

There was another scared scream, but unlike Luka's 'Manly' scream, this came from a girl, who was scared from Luka's sudden appearance.

Luka recovered from the crash and stood up, then he looked around to find himself in a laboratory, which was at the cellar of the castle, with him, the only other person inside was an Ant Girl who had a crown, and had a scared expression, she was probably the one to scream.

Luka took a stance, but he missed his Angel Halo, then he had a little flashback of Solo throwing him, and remembered that Angel Halo was at the ground near Solo, Luka took a panicked look and started to try for martial arts, even if he knew only Ikkotsu.

The monster noticed his panicked look and the scream she did so she coughed a bit before saying.

Queen Ant: ...I am the Queen of the limitless ant army… Human, who are you to stand in my path?

Luka: ...I'm just a fake hero. Are you the one leading this uprising?

Queen Ant: ...Yes, that is so. During the long time I have been sealed, my tho-

*Clang*

She was interrupted when a black flash came past her head, giving her another scare, and landed just under Luka's legs, making him let another girly scream, then Luka seen what it was and found Angel Halo with a piece of paper attached on it.

Luka raised an eyebrow and took it while reading aloud.

"Dear Luka,

I am sorry that I forgot about Angel Halo, but here it is. Now, if you are listening to a story of the Queen Ant, forget everything and slash her, me and Alice don't have all the time to wait for you.

From Solo Virtuta.

PS: Alice is coming too, I am watching everything from the sky"

Then Luka and the Queen Ant raised their heads to the hole in the building, and indeed there was a white figure flying in the sky, watching them.

Luka: Well, you heard him… We can't lose much time here…

Queen Ant: ...How can he even fly… Whatever, let's fight…!

Then Luka grabbed his sword and started the fight with Onibi while maintaining Gnome's power, the Queen backed away for some steps before gaining balance and sprinted towards Luka, who summoned Sylph's power and tried to imitate Solo's Sonido.

But he was unsuccessful and crashed in a wall from attempting to dodge her, nothing in his attempt was successful, his speed was too fast for his reaction, his posture was wrong, nothing was done right.

Unknown to him, it was impossible for him because only Arrancars could use it, and he was human… Human-ish… 50% Human and 50% Angel…

Solo, who watched from the sky, facepalmed from his attempt and muttered.

Solo: That idiot… Why does he try things he don't know how they even work…

While Luka was recovering from the crash, the Queen was over him and massaged his groin with her boobs, while Luka was struggling. Then he got free and slashed at the Queen, making her stumble back, then he used Ryodan and overpowered her in the ground.

While the Queen was recovering from the stun, Luka appeared behind her with his wind powers and pointed his sword to the Queen's neck, making her stop moving.

Solo: *Whistles* Those spars really worked then…

Queen Ant: ...I don't intend to beg for my life, nor do I intend to stop my revenge. I will not stop until I rule over this town and enslave all the humans.

Luka sighed and swinged his sword to her neck, decapitating her and sealing her, but he was stopped from Alice, who just entered the room while carrying the King by his neck with her tail.

Alice: Wait!

Queen: ...Who are you? What business does a powerful monster like you have here?

Then the Queen analyzed her and her eyes opened in surprise.

Queen: It can't be… Are you….!?

Alice: It's just as you think. However right now, my identity does not matter.

While she talked, she dropped the King in the floor.

Alice: This man wants to say something. You should listen too, Queen Ant.

Queen Ant: Very well… Since it's an order from you.

Then the Queen Ant turned towards the King with an angry face, meanwhile Solo appeared in the room, unnoticed from anyone.

Queen Ant: ...What do you want to say!? What does the one who was in charge of oppressing me and my children wish to say!?

King: ...That's right, I was the one in charge. I'll become your slave.

The response just angered the Queen even more.

Queen Ant: ...Is this a jest? You are a leader like me, are you not!? Do you have no pride at all!?

King: I'm not making a joke, I mean it. In trade… Will you please forgive the rest of the citizens?

Queen Ant: ...I see, so you are trying to bargain. Did you think I would simply nod my head and agree? Do you understand how much suffering you humans caused my children and I!?

Solo got near Luka and whispered.

Solo: Hey Luka, if she does not agree then I'll end her…

Luka: H-Hey… You can't simply do that…

Solo: I'm literally the Emperor of the otherworld, I can do that, I just warned you about it, like you asked me.

While the duo were talking to each other, the King was saying.

King: I know… I know now, but I didn't before… To ask forgiveness now is selfish, I know…

Queen Ant: Then why!?

King: ...We didn't notice. We thought your Ant Girls were like unfeeling machines… We never considered them actual beings… Just dolls with hands and feet to work. As for the Queen… We thought you were an evil existence outside human understanding.

Solo: 'That's a really stupid reason… I am surrounded by idiots…'

Queen Ant: No! We're…!

King: ...That's what we all thought until this happened. You have feelings just like us… The days they went through until now were full of pain and suffering.

And for you to be kept imprisoned and sealed as your children suffered… We… We didn't realize that monsters had the exact same thoughts and feelings as us humans…

Alice: Queen Ant, don't you think the same way? These tiny, weak humans are undeserving of any notice, are they not? Their lives are meaningless when compared to your powerful existence, right?

But the feelings these humans hold are the same as us monsters. They feel sadness, pain, and happiness just as we do. Just because they are weaker than you does not mean that they cannot feel the same things you do.

The Queen stood in silence for the entire time, while Alice spoke.

Alice: ...If you do the same thing as the humans did, then this entire situation will repeat. Only this time you will be the one treating the enslaved humans as unfeeling dolls. you will be the same as the oppressor you feel so much hate towards right now.

Then Alice closed her eyes and exhaled.

Alice: ...Now then, I'm tired. You two take over talking, Luka, Solo…

Luka: ...E...Eh? ...Us?

Solo: *Sigh* I'm not paid for this shit… Well, to finish this cycle of hatred, either you, who wants revenge, stops, or I'll kill everyone, humans and monsters.

Luka: Wait what?!

Solo: It's ok… I was joking… Maybe… No, I wasn't…

Those words, coupled with his Hollow Eyes, didn't assured anyone.

Luka/Alice/Queen Ant/King: Oi!

Solo: Still, just like the poor excuse of a king said, he doesn't understand monsters, but you, little Queen, don't understand humans too… Fuck this shit! Luka, you start talking…

Then Solo walked away, while Luka took a panicked look, and took deep breaths before starting a speech about how humans and monsters are different and similar to each others.

After the speech, the Queen sighed and turned towards the King.

Queen Ant: ...Do you regret from the bottom of your heart the labor forced on my children?

King: ...Yes, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. If you desire, I shall have all of the citizens apologize too. Surely they all realize the grievous error we have made until now.

Queen Ant: From here on and forever after, do you vow never to do anything similar?

King: ...Of course. We now know that you have the same heart as us humans. It wouldn't be possible to force labor on anyone like that.

Queen Ant: Very well… Then let's assume it has ended. Perhaps our rebellion has crossed a line, too.

Luka: Then…?

Queen Ant: I shall release all of the captured humans. King, I believe in your words…

Then the King and the Queen Ant shook their hands together as they promised to end everything.

After some thanks to Luka, Alice and Solo, whose identity as an Arrancar scared shitless the King, they left Grangold Castle.

Solo: Now, where should we go?

Luka: I was thinking about Succubus Village.

Solo: Something is happening there?

Alice: It is an human village that is being attacked from Succubus every 100 years, and soon will come another attack…

Solo: That's a big coincidence…

Alice: You are right.

Then they walked towards Succubus Village.
