Alionce

Alionce: noun. A trope often used in science fiction writing is the alliance between an invading alien force and lions, who as the kings of the animals, have dominion over the fauna of Earth. Thus they are able to defeat even the humans. A major part of this trope is the important role of the insects in the defeat of the humans, where they are led into battle by the Prince of Locust. It has been theorised that thanks to the great strength of the insects, the aliens are not in fact necessary to defeat the humans and so the only reason humans are alive today is because the animals have not been given the proper incentive.
