Before Z is able to do anything more though, he trips and falls into the trash tunnel, making both him and the princess being thrown out of the colony. She's seen for the third and last time in the near-end of the movie praising her workers for having completed a Mega Tunnel, making it possible for Mandible to seal off the colony in the tunnel. Before he can do so however, Z and Princess Bala is able to sneak into the tunnel. Bala runs to the Queen in order to warn her about the impending flood while Z stops his fellow workers from completing the tunnel, only to be sabotaged by the ant-in-charge who doesn't believe him when he reveals Mandible's plans. Now in danger of having her colony killed, the Queen can't do anything but wait. Z however, is able to make up a plan on how to save the colony, making the ants stack themself into a gigantic ladder. The Queen is carried up by some of her workers, and is later rescued along with the rest of the colony upon the conclusion of the movie.
