Entertain her? This bitch I thought.
"This will be fun" I said grasping my wrist.
The bees stood before us. We prepared for a fight.
"BZZBZZ!" Q-Bee yelled to her servants.
At her command they flew towards the trio.
I looked at the bee opponent in front of me which turned out to be a male by noticing its face.
Sucks for you
He sent a flying punch to my face as I dodged it and countered his attack with a punch to his jaw.
He looked back towards me with a frustrated expression.
I chuckled.
He flew towards me sending five punches that were faster than the first. I blocked them all and looked at the bee. He scoffed and back flipped a few feet back. Then he flew at full speed which my visor calculated to be 70mph. At full throttle, the bee's fist slammed head on into the jaw of my helmet. I turned back to face him despite his fist still was against my jaw.
He backed away in fear.
"Seriously, is that the all you've got?!" I said.
I ran towards the bee and sent a flying knee to his gut. I heard it send out a loud gasp. It flew back and tumbled towards Q-Bee. She looked down at her lifeless servant at her feet.
"How pathetic" Q-Bee muttered.
I looked at Q-Bee and over at Morrigan and Talbain.
Morrigan flew into the air and sent a Soul Fist at the bee. Then Morrigan flew dead on towards it. As soon as the bee blocked it Morrigan drilled right through the insects' abdomen.
"Drill Kick!"
The bee dropped to the ground.
Talbain on the other hand, was still fighting. The bee went for a kick to Talbains face which then caused its left leg to be clawed off. The bee fell to its demise as Talbain growled and pounced on it scratching it to death with his deadly claws.
Never would I want to get on his bad side
We all turned to face Q-Bee.
"So I guess it's my turn" Q-Bee said standing to her feet.
"I'd guess so too" I said gripping my fist.
I stepped towards the insect queen before us.
"Jay. I'll handle her" Morrigan said with an arm in front of me.
She smiled at me. "Besides, you've been getting most of the fun lately"
I looked at her and nodded. "You're right. Just don't get her too bad okay?"
She smiled. "Alright"
Q-Bee looked pissed. "Are you two kidding me right now?!" She yelled. "What am i? Child's play?!"
Morrigan looked towards Q-Bee. "Hmm, pretty much" she smirked.
Q-Bee expression looked full of rage as she launched toward Morrigan. They went back and forth sending blows to each other for what seemed to endure five minutes.
Talbain and I watched from the ground as the two queens flew into the clouds.
Q-bee flew through the sky dodging Morrigans kicks and Soul Fists'. Then Q-Bee turned on the offensive side when she transformed her right hand into another honeycomb. This time, she shot three substances at Morrigan. Morrigan dodged them all and transformed her wings into missile launchers. I was distracted from the fight when I saw something in my peripheral view. I looked in the air and seen one of the blobs from Q-Bee land next to me. I kneeled down and checked it out. My visor zoomed in and identified the golden substance as pure honey. Then an idea popped in my head.
The two girls paused in the air.
Morrigan moved her hair back.
"I thought you'd entertain me at least a little…I see I overestimated you!" Morrigan said.
Q-Bee was raging with anger.
"How dare you?!"
Q-Bee flew towards Morrigan. Morrigan then disappeared. Q-Bee looked around.
"Where are you?!" She asked.
"DARKNESS ILLUSION!"
Talbain and I watched with our arms folded as Q-Bee looked above her to see seven clones of Morrigan surrounding her.
"You've amused me long enough" the Morrigans said.
"Curse you!" Q-Bee stated in rage as she looked at all the clones surrounding her.
"I wish you…FAREWELL!"
In the blink of an eye, the sky flashed a bright pink as the clones of Morrigan each shot out a bright ball of light at the queen bee.
Talbain and I covered our eyes and moved them when the light faded. A small figure fell through the sky towards the earth. It landed with a loud thud.
Talbain and I walked over to the girl lying on the ground. Morrigan descended next to us.
We heard a small groan from the bee.
"You refuse to die don't you?" Morrigan asked as her wing turned into a blade.
Q-Bee tried to get up but Morrigan put her heel pressed her heel into her back, weighing her back down.
"WAIT, Morrigan don't kill her!" I said rushing to Q-Bee.
Morrigan looked at me confused.
I kneeled down beside the girl. "I'll let you live if you do me a favor, what do you say?" I asked her, opening my visor.
"Never" she muttered.
I smirked. I looked at Morrigan. She then twisted her heel into Q-Bee's back near her stinger.
The girl screamed in agony.
"I'll try this one more time. If you want to live, you'll cooperate. Now, you've caused me and my friends here some trouble, along with killing two people on this barn so tell you what; you give my friends and I a few pounds of that rich honey you have and we'll let you go…choice is yours"
Q-Bee hesitated before giving in. "Alright, I'll do it"
Before she lifted her heel off of the girl, Morrigan told her; "Try me, and you won't live to see another meal"
Q-Bee new how her species metabolism caused them to always eat every few minutes, if she didn't eat any food for even two hours straight, she'd die.
Q-Bee rose to her feet.
We all left out the forest with plenty of honey for the trip back home
"You said you'd let me go!" The queen yelled back at us. We stuck her onto a tree with the extra honey she had given us.
…
We met back up with the class and Mr. Ming.
"We've been wondering where you all wandered off to" our teacher stated.
"Sorry about that. These two forgot their phones on the bus. I took them to go get 'em, seeing that they wanted to take pictures for the road" Talbain said.
"Aw, well that's fine. Well, go ahead and snap while you can, we're leaving in about a minute" Mr. Ming replied.
The teacher walked back to the class.
"Wow, you're a good liar" I said smirking.
"Humans are easy to deceive; they die by their lack of knowledge"
I was taken back by his statement.
"Shouldn't I… be offended?"
Morrigan wrapped her arm around mine.
"Knowing how smart you are, you've never been deceived. And you'll never die as long as you're with me so I don't think you should be" Morrigan said.
"Guess you're right" I smile.
Living in eternity not's bad
"I'll be on the bus" Talbain said as he walked away.
…
We met back up with the class as Mr. Ming took attendance before we left.
"…Looks like no one's missing. Alright, let's all hop back on the buses"
We all followed our teacher towards the big yellow buses as we exited the farm.
…
On the ride back, Morrigan sat near the window. She rested her head on my shoulder and tucked her arm in mine. Then I felt her weight against my body. I looked at her. She was fast asleep.
I had finished my last pouch of Q-Bees' honey but still I wasn't satisfied. I looked at Morrigan and in her left hand she held her last honey pouch. I tried to open her hand but she closed it tight.
I tried again a few minutes later hoping she was in a deep sleep by now. This time her hand wasn't as tight and I opened the pouch and dug in.
I finished the pouch and closed my eyes.
"You owe me" I heard beside me.
My eyes opened wide.
Dammit!
