Giant Hornet
Colony 9 Arc (11/17)
"A giant white hornet so heavy that it squashes any flower it alights on."
After catching the Prairie Dragonfly, Dunban stood in front of the group. "Our next target will be the Giant Hornet," he said, then saw everyone being bewildered.
Dickson sighed. "Figures..." he said.
"A Giant Hornet?! Are you outta your mind?!" Mumkhar asked.
"I-isn't that more dangerous than the Prairie Dragonfly?" Fiora asked.
"As long as you catch it and put it in the box, no harm done," Dunban replied.
"So... What does it look like?" Reyn asked.
"A giant white hornet. It might be around here. Keep your guard up." The group looked around and found the Giant Hornet. They saw the big white hornet landing on a flower. On contact, it squashed the flower.
Reyn laughed out loud, surprising the group. "Did you guys see that?!"
"It...sat and crushed the flower?" Shulk answered, staring at his best friend.
"It's so heavy, it crushes a flower, for crying out loud!"
"Besides Reyn's...laughter," Fiora began, "that hornet still creeps me out. No way I'm getting near that."
"I don't know, Fiora," Shulk said. "It looks like an interesting bug."
"So who's gonna catch that stinger?" Dickson asked. Reyn suddenly laughed out loud again, causing everyone else to look at the hornet. It landed on another flower and squashed it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Reyn said, still laughing. "It's just...too funny to watch!"
"You hot-headed-" Dickson paused before sighing. "Well, since Reyn can't stopped laughing, how about you go, Dunban?"
"Well, if you insist," Dunban said as he approached the Giant Hornet. Once again, it landed on another flower, causing another loud laughter from Reyn. The hornet suddenly spotted Dunban and began to attack. Dunban had his bug net in his hand. He was ready to swing when he heard another cry.
"Dunban! Another hornet to your right!" Fiora said.
"What?!" Dunban gasped to see a second Giant Hornet coming from his right. He quickly captured the first Giant Hornet in front of him and narrowly rolled out in an unprofessional manner due to the surprise. He laid down on the ground and saw the Giant Hornet heading toward him. Suddenly, someone captured that hornet with the bug net. Dunban looked to see none other than Mumkhar.
"Can't do anything if you're worm food," Mumkhar said as both of them placed the hornets in the box.
"You have my thanks, Mumkhar." Dunban smiled at him. "You saved me. It's like old times."
"Tch... Whatever. Are we done?"
"Course not!"
"Here we go again..." Dickson said.
