“What?! Is that an elephant?!” cried Tomochika.

“Its skin seems a little too glossy for that,” Mokomoko observed.

“Is it...a bug?” asked Yogiri.

It was an enormous insect, a rhinoceros beetle big enough that one might mistake it for an elephant at first glance. It was five meters tall with six thick legs, a round body, and a magnificent horn on its head.

The giant beetle was twisting back and forth, trying to shake the other insect loose. The tree-like creature wriggled, trying to get its legs through the gaps in the beetle’s exoskeleton. So far, the beetle seemed to be losing, since its horn had been broken in the surprise attack. Yogiri kept watching, but the fight soon came to an abrupt end, as with a sudden gust of wind, the two bugs vanished.

“What now?!” asked Tomochika.

An enormous body had appeared in front of them, like a black wall materializing out of nowhere. Looking closer, it also appeared to be some sort of insect. Its unbelievably enormous body blocked their view.

“Is that...a centipede?” Yogiri asked.

The forest had been cut apart so much that they could now see the sky. The two warring insects from earlier were up in the air, both held in the enormous jaws of the new arrival. With a crunch, their bodies broke apart, falling to the ground in pieces.
