One Shot, One Opportunity
Vespa fighting Yuto
She and Leesoo went through the sewers to the 1st floor and they have notified of Hatsu and Cassano's confrontation. They came up and were confronted by Yuto. Vespa engaged her and they fought evenly for some minutes while Leesoo collaborated Laure's shinsoo blast and a drill that attacked from below ground. The four of them combined attacks and pushed Yuto into a corner. Vespa was about to finish her off when Viole appeared and carried Yuto to safety.
She and Amigochaz fought together to try to defeat Viole. They initially had the upper hand due to Reina sucking away Viole's shinsoo, enabling Amigochaz to throw Viole into Vespa. She meant to stab Viole, but her poison-coated needle was intercepted by Yuto, who threw herself in harm's way. She watched in amazement as Viole used his Thorn to defeat Amigochaz in one blow. She dashed and attempted to catch Viole unaware, but Viole was able to grab her needle and throw her into the ground. Leesoo told her to retreat and she gave him her honey to heal Yuto before the whole team left for Archimedes.

Thorn
In the Development Tournament Vespa eliminated her competitors alone, allowing Leesoo's team to qualify for the semifinals. During the event, she met Hatsu who was dressed like a Workshop guard and was wounded. After appearing in Team Tangsooyook's room with Laure, Wangnan, Yihwa, Akraptor, and Rak mistook her for a giant insect.
In the semifinals, she and Leesoo await in the field until an enemy appears. Vespa stopped Beta when he was heading towards Wangnan and Quatro. When Vespa tried to measure her speed against Beta, she was easily defeated. When Beta was about to finish her, Rak defended her.
Summoning
She briefly fought Beta alongside Rak and Yihwa before he flew off in pursuit of Wangnan. Vespa then went along with Akraptor and Quaetro to find Team Snake, but when they got to the place they should've been they encountered no-one.
Closure
She and Leesoo went off in search of Novick after he was held hostage by Reflejo. They struggled to find him until Xia Xia decided to lend her aid. When all the hostages were found, some of them were put on Vespa's back and she flew them out of the cavern where they met up with Androssi and Viole's group. They were then challenged by a Ranker associated with FUG but, due to some unforeseen events elsewhere, the Ranker left quietly and they all escaped aboard the Wolhaiksong suspendiship.
