Epic of Bee

"Mega Chain Lightning!" I screamed, and lightning crackled and jumped from my body, from enemy to enemy.

More than thirty dropped from the sky as I raised my hand in the air as more Sky Eels rushed in to attack me.

[BeeBliss Blade Defense active!]

[Summoning DragoonBee Rifle]

[4x Giant Killer Rounds loaded!]

Golden blades surrounded my body in a halo of death as the flying troops were cut to pieces as they tried to overwhelm me with numbers.

A massive Rifle four meters long appeared in my upstretched hand, and I lowered it quickly, my Gravity Magic taking the weight. The Sky eels were starting to thin out, and I lined up a shot to take out one of the two remaining sky whales.

The moment I aimed down my sights, I was forced to dodge a massive Air Bullet that caught my shoulder. I was sent spinning while still holding the rifle, but it had taken a large swath of the Sky Eel's out, but that didn't stop them.

'These people are crazy!'

'They almost seem like the Predators, the way they mindlessly pursue you. It also looks like they are pulling away. Hilda also says that she did a thorough sack of all the ships and none of our people or the General are onboard them,' Atom explained to me, and I nodded as I kept an eye on the ships that were clearly trying to leave.

Every part of me wanted to shoot them down, but I had even stopped attacking the ones we were chasing. It was no longer a fight for them; it was just me killing them, and killing the Sky Whales wasn't going to get my family back any sooner.

"Leave with your ships, or I will shoot them down!" I called out in an amplified voice, and the Skyfolk slowed.

I finally got a good look at their faces, and now they didn't look so lustful for battle, nor did they look brainwashed. Even though they had thrown themselves at me just moments before, there were less than forty left.

Then, they all turned and left without a word.

I wanted to grab one of them, but I decided I had enough to deal with right now.

The General might be using something else as leverage on their troop to get them to fight. Later I might be able to use that info if I got my hands on it, and I considered my options as I floated in the air.

[There are life signs below. I shall go retrieve the ones that can be saved with the NekoBee if that is fine with you. We can imprison them after, and you can question them since it doesn't look like the Skyfolk are coming back for them.]

'That is a great idea, Hilda. Thank you. I am going to return to the ship and see how everyone is doing.'

I dropped the massive rifle, and it disappeared as I turned back to the ship. I was happy with the results of my new form, if a little short-lived, but battle tended to be that way.

What was bothersome was the fact that they were willing to throw away lives like that. Over three hundred and some lives were just lost, and who knows how many on each of the ships, for what?

For me, and yet they still turned up empty-handed.

I was sure that they would have many more nasty tricks up their sleeve, but I would hopefully have a few of our own. For now, I needed to wait for Hilda to reconnect with me and get into communication with Tag and Sig.

I flew over to the ship's side, not really sure where I was supposed to enter, but parts of the ship started to move until a path into the ship was made for me. I flew in slowly until I reached an area like I had in the Flying Fortress for the other MechaBee Drones.

Once inside, I closed my eyes, disengaged the sync, and felt the QBee MechaBee Drone separate from my body. I opened my eyes and floated forward as a large arm came and picked up the Drone and placed it in one of the two open hangers.

I floated down to the ground level, and another path opened in a wall, and I continued to follow it.

"Don't worry; I will lead you to the top deck. Later, you can deal with the others," Rai Cait's voice called out over an intercom.

"Thank you. How is everyone doing? Did the loading go well?" I asked as I floated.

The path I traveled down was constantly moving metal pieces that reminded me of the screen saver I had seen when I was younger. That life seemed so far away now, yet, it had been a peaceful time.

Now my life was filled with chaos, but I wouldn't trade it. I had people I cared about that were all waiting for me to come and save them, so that was what I was going to do.

"Load went off without a hitch, and the vampires are in a safe area of the ship with the things that they brought. Bill is up here, and I am sure that he wants to talk to you," Rai Cait replied, and I nodded.

"Good, I will have to officially add you all to the hive, and that will give you a big boost and help you grow stronger in the future," I said.

"Really? Giving a god more power?" Rai Cait laughed, but I laughed back.

"Just remember that you are not the same all-powerful god you were up above! Now you are just a really strong person, just like Beezli. Oh, now I am missing them all over again! How long till we can start heading towards them?" I asked, getting distracted.

"Two days and then the trip will become very fast, but one of the two days will be spent in the capital, there is no way around it. We will have to talk to the current king to let us into the royal treasury, but we might have to deal with the current king," Rai Cait said nervously, and I groaned.

There was always a catch.
