Description

As evening arrived, the group of bug scouts returned to Fievel’s camp to get their last set of instructions for the day. What made them the most nervous were the sudden array of bright orange suits Fievel was passing out to other groups. He noticed Razzle’s group approaching and nervously waved to them.

“Hello everyone! I hope you had a good time with the Punch Buggys.”

“We did, but what’s with these suits?” Razzle asked warily. They were pretty…heavy duty compared to everything else they’d done so far.

“A-Ah I’m glad you asked!” Fievel stated nervously. “You see the final bug we’re going to learn about in camp is the Zing!”

“What’s a Zing?” Thumper interjected, already suspicious of what Fievel was up to with all this.

“W-Well a Zing is a large insect that uses…electricity to stun its prey.” The look on everyone’s faces made him wave his arms around a little in feeble reassurance. “They’re fine! I mean they have their uses in the ecosystem…They’re just not very nice to us…They’re actually kind of terrible.” He muttered the last part and had a bit of a sad look on his face.

“So since they use electricity, that’s why you have these suits for us?” Purisima asked worriedly.

“Ah yes! They’re Zing proof! Guaranteed to prevent any unwanted Zing stings as long as you’re wearing them. You see this time of year there’s a lot of fruits falling from the trees in Wynsiph. Zings love to nibble on fallen fruit, and especially love to nibble on…other insects that love the fruit. So what better way to learn about Zings than helping clean up the fruit? It helps you learn and helps keep Wyngrew safe around town.” Fievel could only hope that Razzle and the others were okay with this idea. He knew Zings weren’t very friendly, but sometimes you had to learn about the scary stuff as well to know the dangers of them.

“Well alright…Let’s just be sure to suit up and be careful.” Razzle said. She wasn’t keen on this, but if they wanted to earn the patches they had to. However the last thing she wanted was to return these Wynglings to Alma covered in Zing stings.

It took almost an hour for everyone to wriggle themselves into the suits and before long they were off into the woods once again. Everyone was a lot slower this time around however as they tried to get used to the boots on the suits. They all awkwardly toddled around at first with the foreign things on their feet. Eventually though they stumbled across some Luster Fruit trees with fallen fruit littering the grounds.

“Well looks like we found some fallen fruit.” Razzle stated, taking off her helmet to get a better look. “However I don’t really see any-“

Her words were cut off by a sudden loud buzzing getting closer…and closer…Even the Wynglings could hear it through their suits.

“E-Everyone gather the fruit! I’ll try distracting them!” Razzle yelled as a large group of Zings buzzed their way. She regretted removing her helmet as she began booking it, a couple of the insects following her.

Kermit and Purisima were terrified as the bugs buzzed around them, unable to actually sting them because of their suits. As they gathered up the fruit, Thumper got progressively more and more angry. How dare these bugs scare all the girls!? He quickly removed his front boots and grabbed his trusty rope that he’d brought along with him.

“Back beasts! Don’t you dare scare us again!”

In the end, Thumper’s bravery saved the day.
