Vespidea Regina Maximus; big ass wasp eats EVERYTHING Chapter 3 the inevitable eating

of the earth.

She found herself trapped in some sort of transparent dome. Its sides where completely smooth
dome to the atomic level so their was no way for her eat it. Now of the attacks by here many
followers had any effect. Some for them tried to shrink through the gaps in the subatomic realm but
they discovered that their size was locked a 2 microns. A size with neither macro nor micro powers.

“Hello again your majesty. I hope you stay awhile, it not like you have choice in the matter. Your
followers are now stuck at a truly useless size and your power isn't going to help either. I
determined that you can absorb any energy and matter to grow larger, entropy be damned. You
have neither here, so you can't grow and so your stuck here, enjoy yourselves. Or don't, quite
frankly it doesn't matter either way,” said a familiar voice.

The queen look at the source of the the voice. It had the legs and body of a spider. Jutting up from it
was the torso of a stick insect. Attached to that at all angles were so many limbs and appendages it
would make a millipede feel inadequate. No top of it all was the head of Fredrick.

“You again,” asked the queen exasperatedly.

“Of course, you should have Known I would come out ahead. When I grew back to base I had them
give you just enough fuel to get you to a nice, portable size. Now its time to find out how you work.
You've just handed us the universe, and that's just the appetiser,” gloated Fredrick, many of this
limbs twitching with glee.

The queen then heard a message, “we've come up with plan that's starting to work. It'll start a while
to build up. Just keep him talking.”

“What are you going to do to the universe, hasn't it suffered enough from having your face in it,”
poked the Queen.

“That's simple, we're going to eat it. Very last atom and every last joule of energy. It will all become
us,” he cackled.

“You insane you know that. The whole mega-colony is insane. You may have all become sapient
but you never changed your minds, you just kept following the same stupid path you have for
millions of years. Only now the rest of creation is being death marched along with you,” the queen
prodded again.

“Insane. No. To take any other path would be insane. The whole point of life is reproduce as much
as possible, to make as much of the universe as possible into more of themselves. Previously their
were limits holding back this sacred purpose. Other species, we've ate them. Oceans, they've all
been crossed and colonised. Disease, eliminated. The size of the planet, no longer as issue with our
fleet of size-shifting spaceships. We can already grow them to 12 light years long and their max
size and ranges is increasing by the day. Once we figure out your powers we'll be able to turn
everything into more us, nothing that isn't us will even be allow to exist. We will have won
evolution!!!” rants Fredrick.

“And then what” interjected the queen

“We get bigger” replied Fredrick

“and then” continued the queen


“We get bigger” Fredrick repeated

“And then” probed the queen.

“WE GET BIGGER”

It continued like this for quite sometime. Their was no chance in hell of them ever making any
sense to each other as then were arguing from completely different principles. However like all
fanatics Fredrick believed that the only reason people didn't agree with him was out of ignorance or
to just be contrary. Even though he only said the same thing in about a dozen different ways he
thought it time in was making a new and insightful argument.

Then the dome smashed in thousands of very very pointy shards. Randomly limbs were chopped off
and sent flying everywhere. Fredrick firstly annoyed to be stopped mid rant, then that the test
subject was escaping and finally that he was going to have to get another body. He was started
fantasizing about what his one was going to have.

All the queens followers held on tight to her was she quickly flew away. She need somewhere to go
that was hidden and with lots of fluids that she could quickly eat to grow big enough to fight.

The answer was obvious. The sewers. The old human built sewers which the arthropod systems
were connected too. She flew done the sinks and got their. She herd was thud of approaching guards
but she was long gone by then.

She was shocked by how clean the sewers smelled. Evidently the ants had a more efficient way to
deal with their poop now. As she travelled further and further to the main sewers she found on other
living things. Not even moss and fungus. The extent of the crime that purity council had ordered
came home to her. She had to stop them, even if it meant she could never go home again.

She reached the biggest sewers. They were so big even humans could walk in them several abreast.
She lined herself against the direction of the current and opened her mouth. The liquid, which was
overwhelming rainwater and grey-water1, flows into her making her grow rapidly bigger.

She then asked how they got out. A cricket explained that he kept playing at the resonance
frequency of the dome, it then was vibrating so fast that it broke.

She quickly react a millimetres, then 5 of them. Then a inch finally passing here original size, then
3 then a foot. 2 feet then five followed some afterwards. She then filled the entire tunnel. Still the
water flowed into her. The sewage began to buckle and bend under the mass. She then cracked it
wider open. The water still flow in, it had nowhere else to do. She continued to grow wider and
wider. She passed 15 feet and then 20 wide, she could now drink it down as faster as it came. After
50 feet cracks started to appear in the could above. They would turned into full fissures.

A wasp wing popped though one of the cracks. Then the next. It was time to go. It flew out of the
crater she had made. Several buildings collapsed into the hole. She was now 100 feet wider and 300
feet long. She towered over the trees in the central park. Many of the building in the city were still
taller.

1 This is the water that is only a little bit dirty. The stuff that goes down sinks and showers and the back of washing
machines. It doesn't have poop in it, if it does it is called black water. Not clean enough for drinking but safe for
toilet flushing and washing crops. As water becomes less available in the future grey water will have to be used
more often.
The ants did what they naturally do to anything that isn't the exact right type of ant. They attacked.
It was all with personal size weapons, most of the bigger ones being shipped off for galactic
conquest. At she was mountain compared to their few millimetres sizes she didn't even feel the
attacks. At some as any of the bullets reached her then where absorbed. She had some of the
converted ant bivouac themselves into a scoop and she scooped up anybody that was nearby. Even
those that weren't attacking her. As the scoop was alive their was no escape. She ate those she
scooped up. She dug several feet into the ground which she ate too. Soon every living thing in the
whole park was either fled or ate. She was now a 150 feet tall.

She used the lull in action to introduce herself to all the ants that had just in reincarnated on her. The
loyal switching meant that those that most fanatically, and futilely, tried to stop her were now her
most ardent supporters. The civilians (she was somewhat surprised the G.A.M had them then she
chastised herself for he ignorance and intolerance) where more surprised then anything. She got
some people to send them home, she had no business dragging the along with the war.

Suddenly a bunch of her sized ants size-shifted onto the scene. Leading them was Fredrick. His
head was now in the place of a snakes head. He was as wider as she was, and much much longer.
About a mile long.

“Troops, swarm over her, cover here completely and then cover her again. Then once more for good
measure. No weapons, do not attack her,” ordered Fredrick.

The Queen tired to fly away but flying ants grabbed onto her wings and pulled her down. Once she
was done more and ants piled on her. She couldn't even move let along fly. It went dark under the
pile of ants. The pile started to crush her, but only started. A TV was passed though pile. It showed
Fredrick. Now coiled around the whole pile.

“We'll just keep you there,” said Fredrick. “Scientist are already being sent over. Also our finest
torturers.”

“I'm not going to help you no matter what you do to me,” says the queen defiantly.

“Oh, I know that. That why I'm not having them do anything to you,” smirks Fredrick.

“Do you even have a conscience,” guilted the Queen.

“It doesn't apply here, only people are worthy of moral consideration and you and your friends are
not in that group. It would be immoral of me not to torture them,” he says smugly.

She had nothing to say.

Reginald P. Foxly-worthington III was the first to speak. “Nothing they do to us matters one jot
compare to what they'll do it you help them figure out your power. You have when word I will never
want you to help them with it. It I ever do beg you to tell then then I am already dead, it is just
someone else behind my eyes that would ask you to do this. Now can I have your word that you
will do that far braver thing and steel yourself to whatever they do to me. NO MATTER WHAT,” he
beseeched.

“Yes,” forced out the Queen.

The rest of the queens closest friends got the same promise. They had her promised again as they
were dragged off. The queen could hear the screams but she held firm. Meanwhile the queen was
subjected to every single test imaginable as they tried to figure out the source of her power.
Her will was starting to crack when suddenly every single ant in the pile had its head fall off. This
badly effected discipline allow in the queen to escape. She quickly busted out all her friends from
their torture chambers, which was made easy as all their guards had had their heads fall off too. She
then flew off to the ocean, gathering all the decapitated ant head as she went. She shrunk the bigger
ones so she could carry them all By the time Fredrick could assemble an army with their heads still
attached she was flying over the waves.

Out she was over the mid Atlantic ridge she dived straight down, mouth open so she grew as she
dipped. By the time she reached the bottom she was already half a miles but still easily hidden by
the deep depths. A diving bell spider grew itself and then made a web air bubble big enough
everyone who needed it to fit in.2

She then took the time to thank Beatrice and other Phorid flies for the devious attack. She then gave
them all the decapitated ant head.

“When they hatch, tell them thank you from me,” she asked3.

She looked around the ocean. The fish were gone, the whales where gone, the crabs, gone octopi,
stakes, jellyfish. Gone, gone, gone. All the animals that used to fill the ocean were gone. In their
place was ants, ever niche was now filled with a modified type of ant. Giant baleen ants flirted the
ocean. Octoants hide using their camouflage. Anemone ants stung everything that came near.

The planet had completely fallen. Every ecosystem had been complete remade. Their was nothing
left here to save. But the universe still remained. But for how much longer she did not know. She
knew from the converted ants that colonisation was well under-way. Victory was being used, every
life thing on whole planets being melted into goo. She consulted everyone on her before she made
her move.

She ate her way along the of the oceanic plates. As these things were made of particularly dense
rock ten cause her to quickly expand. By the time she had made a hole big enough for half miles
hight she was 3 miles tall, barely covered anymore by the ocean at all. She continued to eat widen
the gap down to the mantle. But the time the hole's size had finally caught up with hers she was 12
miles tall. Her on the bottom of the ocean her back was well above the clouds.

With crust out of the way more more lava flowed to the surface. She pushed her way down into the
mantle. The forces that Fredrick had sent to try and stop her could not follow their. She was now
swimming through the viscous fluid of the earth’s mantle. With every miles she swam forward she
ate a mile long tube of magma. This cause her to grow and grow and grow.

As the mantle was very very dense very 1 cubic miles of the mantle led to 4 equal cubic miles of the
queen. So here growth was very rapid. 20 miles was followed by 50 then a 100 then fives hundred.
She then reach the core of the earth, which was more then twice as dense leading to even faster
growth. She hadn't even ate a tenth of the earth's insides when the crust of the earth began to crack
all over. She ate one more bite of the earth's cores, this made her 20% bigger. She was too big for
the earth to contain. The cracks in the earth became wider and wider until the whole things spilt
open.

2 Diving bell spiders makes bubbles out of their webbing allowing them to say underwater for most of their lives.
These bubbles natural bring in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide and so can be used for a really long time.
3 Some species of Phorid flies lay their eggs inside of fire fire. There ten crawl crawl into the head and each of the
brains from the inside. They then dissolve some neck tissue making the head fall off. They then safety mature inside
the decapitated ant head. These flies had been used to control fire ant populations.
She shook herself knocking off all the molten earth chunks. She went and chased down all the
chunks and then ate them, then her massive gravity helped here pick up the rest of it. Since it was
just floating there not doing anything any-more she flew off to the moon and ate that too. When all
that was done she was about 40 000 miles long.

Everybody that was killed, which was everybody was then resurrected on her back. All the mindless
fanatical followers of the purity councils perverse ideology were now mindless loyal to the queen
instead. Everyone else was more annoyed then anything that the planet had been destroyed as that
was were they kept all their stuff. Even a few of the beings that had been killed by the G.A.M where
bought back as well. With their support then the most annoyed people had to admit that she had did
the right thing, but there still wanted their stuff back.

Looking around some more she found Fredrick floating in space again. He was still a snake, he was
about as long as she was. That was the limit of his size shifting powers. She tied him round her
waist as a belt so he wouldn't get way and mess things up again.

She the heard singing from somewhere.

“For she's a jolly good planet eater


For she's a jolly good planet eater
For she's a jolly good planet eater
She ate the earth right up”

It was, of course Mr. Mind, and Mr Mind and then four more Mr Minds. They were all wearing
party hats. The middle one carried a cake shaped like a one of the flat earth’s upon 4 elephants upon
a tortoise.

The queen just wasn't in the mood. She ignored him completely. This is something she had got quite
good at.

As it is no fun if they don't at least do something in reactions the Mr. Minds left a planet sized
present and disappeared in a puff of confetti.

Figuring the odds were about 50% the present was something very useful and 50% that it was
something very simple but ultimately harmless if very annoying she went and opened it.

In side was another earth. It had forest, ocean, continents, atmosphere everything. Their was even a
new moon in the corner of the box. Their was a manual. She read it.

“This planet is a copy of your earth from 5 years ago. All geological, botanic, meteorological and
microbiological features has been copied exactly. Animal life was not copied as consent was needed
and could not be given. Structures and artefacts had been removed by request. Plant life was been
extended to the new spaces,” read the manual.

One curious thing she noted was that she could swap the earth for any of wide selection of other
ones from across geological history and parallel universes including the ever popular dinosaur earth
763 and the steampunk version. They were also covered if the planet got destroyed again although
the very very basic intelligence in-bedded into the planet will prevent most kinds of the destruction.
Discovering that the earth gets destroyed and eaten many many MANY times and that their was an
entire industry devoted to fixing it quickly helped the queen get over her guilt over eating the
planet.

She continued to read. She read the bit about the process to restart time on it and get in into orbit.
She did all that and then if you didn't look very closely at all it seem the solar system was back to
normal.

She then made an offer to everyone she was carrying. They could all move to the new earth. Any
crimes that were committed on the old planet were considered to have got blown up when the planet
exploded. She also said that she would stay here for precisely one week to help with the initial
colonisation

This sparked a lot of discussion and tough decisions. Nearby everybody that joined her on the
electron planet stuck with her. All the resurrected soldier on were now as fanatically on her side as
they were previously against her stuck with her too, apart from a few billion that she sent to the new
earth as engineers. Most of the rest of the earthlings went to the new earth, it wasn't home but it
was the closest they were going to get.

On the virgin planet they had to build everything. Caches of materials, tools, information and crop
seeds were spread around the planet to speed things up. Whilst they were doing that all the
information from the converted forces was combined together to find out were to go next.
Unfortunately she discovered the rockets weren't told where to god before they set off, it seems they
had at least some concern she would get as far as she did so they left no earth-side clues as to where
they were going. Their was also no communication with the colonisers as they were so far away
messages to them would take at least centuries to get to them.

She did discover they were working on a way round this. They had nearly finished inventing a
quantum tunnelling radio. What it did was open wormholes to send and receive the radio signals,
skipping perhaps billions of light years of space and allow real time communication with over
millions of light-years. They finished developing it and then went into mass production.
