Miss Queen B: Hello once again Lovely Readers, I hope everyone is having a good day/week/month. I'll keep it short since I'm still recovering from my son's birthday party. (nearly 20 friends/cousins from the ages of 1-10 years running around and destroying my house) Notes:
Note One: So some readers found Scylla's behavior a bit off in the last chapter in the flashback scene. Yes, she is kind and sweet, but she is very protective when it comes to Mosura and the claws will come out if she feels like Mosura is in danger or being taken advantage of. She and Gojira tolerate each other for Mosura's sake where Scylla respects him as a king and Mosura's match, but that doesn't mean she really likes him. Vise versa with Gojira since that is his Queen's best friend.
Note Two: So about this chapter: the Queen realize she is indeed carrying, Scylla is worry it might be a difficult pregnancy due to the Queen lack of energy and fragile appearance. Everything seems joyful till the Queen finds out the muto might be around the King which leads to her remembering her last encounter with the parasite. (Extended scene from Let it Burn: Chapter 5 part XII)#Letthemfight.
Note Three: I'm horrible when it comes to describing fight scenes so I tend to avoid them. I did my best. Thanks for the reviews everyone, I love reading the feedback. Enjoy.
Part V
Her Fight
~Being a mother
is learning about
the strengths you didn't know you had
and dealing with the fears you didn't know
existed~
~Linda Wooten
One thing the Queen missed from her non-egg laying days was her balance because when those words escape Scylla's mouth, she once again fell backwards due to her round figure. Goodness, it was embarrassing enough not to be able to sit up right, but it was even worse when Scylla started to laugh. She huffed, she would get large when it came to her egg, but never this big. It was even getting harder for her to breathe sometimes and more tired than usual.
Scylla, please stop laughing. She said, in a monotone voice.
Her friend giggled and use one of her large leg to prop her up to a sitting position again. Her large wings flutter a bit before settling down on the ground. I'm sorry, Scylla, but what did you say?
Why didn't you tell me you were expecting? Scylla asked again, this time a little more softly. I mean we would tell each other everything.
Now it was the Queen's turn to giggle. What? Scylla, what makes you think that. Did my King talk to you before you venture over here? She joked.
….Yes….yes he did actually. Scylla said now being serious.
Her antennas perk up a bit and she shook her head. Oh, don't tell me you believe his nonsense Scylla, you seen me lay an egg countless times. It's just my egg for me to use to be reborn again.
Scylla stared at her. You really don't know, do you?...Oh, kaiju…...you really can't tell...She let out a small chuckle then it dawned on her. I guess that makes sense, you laid eggs so many times before you wouldn't tell the difference.
I'm not expecting, Scylla. I mean sure, this cycle has been a tad off, but nothing to raise alarms. She said, panting a bit. Boy, all of a sudden she felt like she flew around the world over a hundred times. Just talking felt like it took a lot of effort. Well she was sleeping all day so that might have something to do with it.
Her friend looked at her while tilting her head a bit. Are you alright?
The Queen nodded, Just tired, that's all. I swear I feel like all my energy is fading away faster than usual.
Yeah, I know I get that way too when I was pregnant with my hatchlings…
Scylla….
My Queen, my friend, your King told me he can sense another pulse within you….he's not that type that jokes around, you know that. Plus, he wouldn't have come to me for assistants unless it was really necessary. That was a very awkward conversation with him that he didn't like. He said your scent has changed too and honestly, I have never seen you this big before or taken this long to lay an egg. I barely got here and I can already smell a sweet scent on you…something I would smell on other pregnant females....She let out a small giggle….when you told me, you two patch things up…I didn't think you two….
The Queen started to blush hard, remembering that night when they reconnected. His deep voice whispering to her in her mind that she was his and no one else's. Those sharp teeth biting down on her soft flesh. Although she wanted it to happen it still caught her by surprise. He was not the type that shows affection first unless it was to show her who was the alpha during one of their petty fights. The Queen stare out at nothing in particular while letting Scylla's words stitch in her head. Ok, hearing it coming her King sounded funny since when it comes to any female related he would never talk about it, but having the same concerns coming from Scylla put it in a whole new light. Her friend had bare so many hatchlings in her life, she'd seen them hatch, grown, leave the nest and watch her do it all over again. And it was true, her King is not the type who jokes around and how shameful it was for her not to believe him. He's the only one who can sense her heart beat and if he can sense two then…
Dear Queen, are you ok...you look pale all of a sudden.
Looking down at her stomach, the only thing she could muster out of her mouth was, Oh my goodness…..Scylla…She shifted only to lose her balance again, but luckily, she fell forward allowing her to catch herself.
While the squid kaiju help her up again, the Queen's wings started to flutter fast while she covered her face with her claws. How...how….how could this be…
Surely, you would know since you were there, right?
She gave the squid kaiju a look before clearing her throat, Yes, I know how it works, Scylla, but I can live forever, so there's no need to reproduce…..
Just because you don't need to doesn't mean it can't happen. Why do you look so down about this...this should be a happy occasion?
It just...well….it was just...we both agreed that wasn't something needed. We talked about it one time and never brought it up ever again….like I said before, I can live forever there's no point having offsprings….and my King….he made it clear he didn't want them…
Why am I not surprised... She muttered to herself, but the Queen caught it.
She shook her head, No, it's not like he can't stand hatchlings, he just didn't want them to go through what he did. To be ridiculed for being different if they inherit his traits like he did from his Sire. Oh kaiju, when he voiced his concern about my egg, he didn't look too happy about it.
She got up on all six of her feet, nearly falling back down from the sudden dizziness she felt and started pacing slowly back and forth while her antennas twitch widely. What am I going to do.
What do you mean what are you going to do? You're going to lay your egg and in time, a hatchling is going to hatch out of it. There's not turning back on this one.
Our relationship is still recovering, Scylla….
Well apparently it's doing fine for him to get intimate with you….She giggled, He should've known this would happen after planting his se-
Scylla, please, don't be so gross…..I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. What if he's...unhappy with this.
The King is a lot of things, but there is no way he will deny his egg especially if it's coming from you. He certainly look more concern for your well-being than knowing he's going to be a father. Saying how tired you've been.
The Queen smiled softly from her friend's kind words and sigh, I guess you're right, but I need to talk to him. She said, while spreading out her wings.
You're going now?! Scylla asked, picking herself up from the ground.
This can't wait. She said.
You could barely sit up without falling over. I don't think you should fly in this condition. She said, bringing one of her long legs down gently on her wing. Pinning it to the ground without doing any damage to it.
I fly just fine, Scylla. Seriously, I need to find him so we can talk about this.
You already look exhausted, my Queen, and you were just pacing back and forth.
It was true, she was feeling really tired, but this is important and can't wait for him to come home. She took another step only to feel a tug due to Scylla holding her wing down. She let out a small yawn and sat down only to lose her balance once again. Falling sideways, she was caught by Scylla's other front leg and just laid there.
See, you can't fly right now. She said, dragging her back over to her side. The Queen didn't even protest and leaned against Scylla's long leg and closed her eyes.
I'm fine really….The Queen said, dozing off.
It sounds like you need a nap. The Squid kaiju giggle quietly.
I've been sleeping all day and yesterday…The Queen said, feeling more relaxed. How in the world did walking around for a short period of time make her THIS sleepy.
Hmm, should I be worried….. Scylla asked, with a little concern in her voice.
About what?
Well, the King is not exactly a small Kaiju and you being this huge as it is...I just hope this pregnancy won't be difficult for you.
You worry too much, Scylla, I'm just tired. I just need a good nap. She whispered.
She could feel her friend shifting around a bit, trying so hard not to move the leg she was leaning on, to get into a comfortable position. She wanted to open her eyes so she can continue to talk to her, but her eyes were just so heavy and she was so tired. I'm sorry Scylla, I'm glad you came, but I'm just really sleepy at the moment.
It's alright, sleep as much as you want. No doubt the King wouldn't mind me watching out for you during your…(clears throat) delicate situation.
The Queen hummed softly to herself than chuckle softy…..Hey, Scylla….
Yes, Dear Queen. Scylla asked, calmly.
I'm going to have an offspring...She whispered softly.
Scylla giggled, making her body vibrate and slightly waking up the Queen. Yes, yes you are.
The Queen was nearly in a deep slumber when she realize something. Forcing her eyes open, she stared up at the Squid Kaiju, Scylla….when you said you were talking to my King, did you two cross paths in the waters?
Scylla gave her a weird look and shook her head, No, he came by my nesting ground before I had a chance to leave. We talk then I took off. I know he stayed behind deep in thought. Why?
The Muto's devious smirk appeared in her mind and she forces herself to get up again. So he might still be over there….
Perhaps….what's wrong. She asked then it hit her too. I know what you are thinking so knock it off.
She got up, struggling to balance herself and started to walk over to the shoreline. She's over there too.
She was out exploring when he got there. The King made sure not to say anything to me unless we were completely alone.
You know her and I know her, you remember what she said.
Oh, how can I forget or anything about that day, but be rational. She's not that stupid to try something on the King. And again, she wasn't there when he talked to me.
I'm not taking any chances. She said, spreading out her wings again.
I'm sure she was joking just to upset you. You know how she is. Please don't do anything stupid. You're carrying for crying out loud!
She can feel Scylla getting up and no doubt will pin her wing down again to prevent her from leaving. No, she was not going sit around knowing that vile female was there and he was there too. She jumped into the air, nearly falling back to the ground, but her wings manage to keep her upfloat despite the weight of her egg. Alas, it was a struggle and it was taking a lot more effort to flap her wings to keep her in the air. Heavy footsteps were coming towards her and she knew Scylla will do anything to stop her. Her friend's front legs nearly got her before she flew up high into the air and headed towards her King's location.
My Queen, are you crazy! Come back here, you are in no condition to fly!! She heard Scylla screaming at her at the top of her lungs. The King will tear off my legs if something happens to you under my watch! MOSURA!
Flying as fast as she can, she could feel her heart racing while her anger fueled her already tired body. She knew her King wouldn't do anything even after her infidelity plus it was the parasite after all. He would never go near such a creature, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't try anything or worse. She knows how to push a Kaiju's buttons, knows where to hit with that awful coarse mouth of hers, she just knows how to piss others off in a way for sheer entertainment. She could easily cloud her King's mind with questionable things and try to break their healing relationship. Not to mention the Muto's kind knew how to weaken her King's species with their unique power.
She growled and fly even faster. Scylla was no doubt following her since she can still hear her screaming at her to stop. Sorry my friend, but this is something she needed to prevent ...She scoffed….you would think after what happened the last time, the Muto would stay away….
Now get out of my face because I would hate for you to get that glossy fur dirty!….
Ladies, let's just calm down before anything-
0000000000
(Flashback)
~You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up…~
With glaring red eyes looking up at her, the Muto stood her ground after sneering out her threat. Yet, to the Queen, the threat seem so empty, just another way to poke at her for a reaction which she refused to give her one. She will not let the Muto's words get to her despite being in a whirlwind of emotions and exhaustion. She had no time for this, her King was upset with her, she had to let go of a dear friend thanks to their foolishness and now she has to deal with the parasite who finds her world crumbling funny. She HAD to tattletale on her to her King for talking to Rodan one last time which led to them spewing hateful words at each other while Scylla try to get them to calm down. She made it sound like they left for another tryst, but in reality, they were saying good-bye to a forbidden relationship.
The glaring went on and on with Scylla slowing stepping closer to them to prevent a disaster from happening. She growled, the parasite had no right calling her names or bringing Rodan into their argument.
You are a vile, disgusting female...She hissed which got the Muto's attention, but instead of being appalled, she smirked as she finished,...A sad, pathetic parasite with an empty life and no purpose other than make everyone miserable!
She snorted and gave her a "is that the best you can do" look. And I'm pretty damn good at it too, you two-timing whore!
She flew back instantly and could see Scylla nearly losing her balance from the blunt insult. Her eyes grew wide from the horrible disgusting name she was branded. A whore? Never in her life was she called such a thing and the Muto had no remorse or regret calling her that. The Muto just stood there, staring at her with this big smile on her face like she was proud of herself for calling her that due to her past mistakes. It was one night, one mistake where she hurt the two males she adored in her life and regret it every single day. That does not make her a tart like the Muto claims she is. Being called that made her angry, causing her wings to flutter and glow from a red to a bright white. The parasites were known to be horrible creatures, but this one is just so...so
Muto….don't say another word and step away slowly…. She heard Scylla calmly saying. No doubt her best friend can see the anger and frustration in her by the way her colors were glowing and changing. Still she will not strike, she will not show this devious thing that her words were getting to her. She will not stoop down to her leve-
You know, I feel sorry for the King. Poor thing waiting on his island while his little Queen fucks around with the fire demon. Maybe I should pay him a visit and even the score….show him what a REAL female can do.
She snapped...
Those words followed by a wicket laugher made something in her snapped. She just snapped, there was no other way to put it. No doubt it she was connected with her King, he would have felt something impaling his head from this instant, painful feeling. The thought of the Muto going near her King and touching him in a sexual way blinded her vision with pure, white, hot rage. She screamed so loud it stopped the Muto dead in her tracks and before she could stop herself she flew towards the parasite with her claws out and her stinger (dripping with venom already) pointing at her throat.
She headbutted the Muto right in the face, sadly missing the throat with her stringer, with enough force it blew back the dirt and grass and nearly knock over Scylla. Caught off guard, the Muto fell backwards while hissing at the Queen in retaliation. She felt the skin on her forehead break and blood slowly leaking down to her eyes as dirt and grass flew everywhere from the fall.
Dear Queen, NO! Scylla screamed.
The second they hit the ground with the Muto on her back and her right on top, she regretted her decision instantly. She lost control of the situation on her part, she was more mature than that and never in her long life has she ever started a fight. What's worse, it was with a Muto, a female no less. During the time when the Earth was still young and there were more of them, her King took it upon himself to kill off these creatures one by one with her help, of course. Though she would never kill, she would immobilize them with silk or poison long enough for her King to finish them off. Her other duty was fighting off the male Mutos since they were flyers and made it hard for her King to reach them. The Females were a different story and stupid her, it takes the both of them to bring the females down and she did th-
Stupid Bitch! The Muto shouted and bit her hard in the leg.
Before a screech could escape her mouth, she was flung with enough force she heard something in her leg crack. She didn't have time for her wings to catch air and landed hard into the dirt. She tumble across the ground, lifting up dirt and making small craters along the way. She came to a stop on her side, crushing one of her wings and feeling the sheer pain of her leg. She lifted herself up from the ground while spitting out dirt before wiping the dust and blood out of her eyes. She looked over to see the Muto picking herself up as well and Scylla dumbfounded face and realize she was tossed nearly a half a mile away.
With blood leaking down her forehead as well, the Muto growled. You're going to regret that….BIG time….and unlike Rodan, I will not be gentle!
The Muto ran towards her only to skit to a halt when Scylla stood right between them. Back off, Muto! She is the-
Don't give me the "She's the Queen!" shit! The Muto yelled, Or I'll beat you down as well!
Do you think the King is going to show you mercy for attacking the Queen! Scylla shouted back. Also, why would you say something so distasteful! Of all the ridicules things to say!
The Queen picked herself up, trying hard not to put weight on her injured leg and stretch out her wings. Fortunately, the toss didn't tear any of her wings or bent them in a weird way and was about to tell Scylla to step aside when the Muto spoke…
Oh shut up, Scylla! What's wrong with the King getting something on the side as well. I bet he likes it rough-
Enough, Muto before-
The Queen leaped right on top of Scylla's shell, ignoring the pain in her leg and once she saw the Muto looking up at her, she spat silk right into her face. The Muto step back, blinded by the silk before clumsily tackles the other two females to the ground. Letting out a loud roar, she raised one of her large arms up into the air and brought it down not knowing who she will hit. The Queen got on top of Scylla and took the blunt hit directly on her back.
Get off of me! You're crushing my shell! Scylla shouted.
I can't see! Muto shouted and brought all four of her large arms down this time, hitting both the Queen and Scylla.
The Queen sideswipe the Muto in the face with her claws causing her to back away far enough from Scylla and her. Scylla crawled backwards as well while the Queen kneel over from the blunt blow. She felt like all the air was knocked out of her and she started to pant. The Muto growled while trying to scrape the silk out of her eyes. Thin cuts started to form on her face with blood leaking out. Cheap shot! She hollered, but grinned, I might be blind, but I can still smell you out, you piece of dirt. Digging her face into the ground to get the silk out of her eyes the Queen smirked. Good luck trying to get that stuff off, if the False King had a hard time there was no way she could either.
She can't see, Dear Queen, now is your chance to leave. Scylla whispered while trying to pick herself up again.
Are you hurt? The Queen asked.
Not really though I'll be feeling those blows tomorrow.
Stupid Silk! Muto shouted, twirling around in one spot. She was getting frustrated by the way she was stomping her claws and feet down on the ground. The land started to vibrate and the waves crash against each other in the ocean. She growled, Stop stalling and fight me like an Alpha, you pile of crap! Don't start something if you're not going to finish it!
The Queen took a deep breath and with her wings spread out and glowing in a way to imitate her opponent, she started to circle around the Muto slowly while limping a bit. The Muto stood still, waiting for her to make the first move.
I can feel your tiny footsteps. You think you can scare me! The other two Mutos beat the shit out of your precious King, what makes you think you can take me!
Yet, they are dead and he still lives! The Queen wanted to wipe that ugly grin off the parasite's face, Now take back those words and I'll go easy on you. The Queen hissed.
My Queen, what are you doing? Scylla asked, dumbfounded.
The Muto chuckled, You?! Go easy on me, that's funny. I don't need my sight to fight you. Like I said, I can smell you out with ease. You reek of smoke and ash, my dear….I knew you two did something else besides talking….
The Queen growled from her statement and hated her for using the word reek. It was dirty and it wasn't like that. They were just talking, finding closure after so many ups and downs. She held onto Rodan in a firm embrace knowing it was going to be hard to let him go and wanted to make sure he was going to be alright. He hugged her back so tight knowing it will be the last time they could touch and share a tender moment. It was innocent, it was heartbreaking and it made her want to cry again, but will not give the Muto that satisfaction.
Ladies, please let's just quit now because I don't want my nest to get ruin-
Stay out of this Scylla! The Queen and the Muto said at the same time.
This is my home!
You will take back those words and we will end this. The Queen shouted. I warn you to watch your tongue already!
You fucking hypocrite! A dirty little, weak hypocrite! You can't prevent other females from the King knowing what you did! I'm sure he will agree with me after showing him a good time!
That's it!
~Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise you voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much…~
She jumped up into the air and flew down at the Muto. Sensing her coming, the Muto stood up on her back legs with her mouth wide open. The Queen tackle her in the face, hearing the Muto's neck crack from the sudden blow and managed to stab her in the shoulder with her stinger. The parasite roared and swatted her away with one of her front legs. The Queen fell to the floor, but quickly got up and jump on to her back and pierce her skin with her long, sharp claws. The Muto started to thrash, shaking her body violently to get her off, but the Queen held on tight.
Get off of me! The Muto screamed
Using her wings, she started to flap hard and pull the Muto sharply to the left causing her to trip over on her own legs and fall down. The land started to rumble as large chunks of dirt and rock flew up into the air. The Muto rolled over in hope to squish her, but she quickly moved out of the way through her wing ended up getting caught. She quickly crawl onto the Muto's stomach only to have the parasite knee her in the bottom. The sudden kick push her forward and nearly miss the Muto's teeth by mere inches when she tried to bite. With her wing pin underneath the giant kaiju, she was stuck so she did the only thing she could and started to slash at the chest and stomach with all four of her claws while kicking her. Warm blood started to spray across her white fur like water while taking one blow after another from the Muto's front legs. The Queen happened to look up only to get headbutted in the face which cause her to spit more silk into the Muto's face. This time the silk went right into her mouth cutting off her air supply.
The Muto gurgled and wrapped her arm around the Queen's little body, nearly crushing her from the tight squeeze and rolled over again. Slamming her down hard on her back, the Muto pinned her there by holding down her colorful wings. Blood started to drip down on her face and chest from the thin cuts she inflicted on the Muto's body. The Muto gurgle a bit before spitting a large wad of wet silk out of her mouth right into the Queen's face.
The Queen struggled to break free, but ended up staying still when she heard her wings tearing as the Muto pressed her curled up claws harder against her wings. Caving them a bit into the ground. She wiped the spit and silk away and looked up at the Muto's angry yet sinister grinning face. The silk around her eyes tore slightly so she was able to see the red eyes glowing bright.
Enough, already, Muto get off of her. Scylla shouted, taking a few steps forward.
No! Stay back, Scylla, this is between me and her! The Queen shouted, never taking her eyes off the Muto.
Why so mad, Queen, I'm sure this is not the first time being pinned to the ground. Or do you still prefer those hot, fiery wings instead? She grinned.
She cringe in disgust, but couldn't strike her since she was standing over her too high.
Now I can why rodan made such a fuss over you from this position. Such a weak, tiny, delicate, pretty thing you are….She said, her words dripping with sarcasm.
I am NOT weak! Or delicate!
She brought down one of her forelegs right next to her face in a way to scare her. Dust flew into her eyes and face and started to cough.
You ARE weak because I can easily do this! Using her claws, she started to tear holes into her beautiful wings. Tearing a few pieces off in the process.
Muto, stop this right now before-
The Muto sneered at the squid kaiju, I swear, Scylla, if you take another step, I'll crush this little whore's head without any hesitation! She screamed while holding her claw just a few feet above the Queen's head.
Be reasonable, the King will kill you for this high treason! Scylla shouted.
The King won't do anything! In fact he might even thank me! After all somebody needs to take this piece of trash out! She said, looking down at the Queen again.
The Queen struggled, Stop calling me that! Breathing through her mouth sharply. She was so sick and tired of all the names. She was not trash! She was not weak!
The Muto deliver another blow to the Queen's stomach. She screech and started to cough up spit. It wasn't as painful like the last one and it made the Queen realize the parasite was just toying with her now. Not moving her claw, she pressed it down harder in her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe let alone shoot another wad of silk. The blood from Muto's stab wound was slowly leaking down the her arm and seeping deep into the Queen's fur. The Muto was so high on adrenaline, the venom was taking a while to make any kind of an effect on her.
What? Weak...Delicate...or trash ...because that's what you are. Muto laughed. Do you think the King is going to see you the same way again. You may have come back from the dead, you may have a new body, but that stench will always be there. I can get Rodan still wanting to fuck with you because he's nothing, but low class dirt as well. But the King….oh no...you're not that flawless, beautiful thing he likes to show off to others anymore….
The Queen growled and tried to move, not caring how much it's hurting while her eyes glow bright blue from her frustration and anger…
….Just some nasty filthy pile of shit that he will NEVER…. Raising her claw up again for another hit….
...touch AGAIN!
The Muto was suddenly pushed from behind causing her to fall forward and the Queen didn't waste any time to stab her hard underneath her chin with her stinger. The force of her stab made her stinger reveal itself inside Muot's mouth, piercing her tongue as well. The Muto stood still, gagging as blood started to seep out of her mouth. The Queen started to hiss, feeling her heart skip a beat and pulled her stinger out of the flesh. Blood splattered all over her and her wings, but that didn't stop her from stabbing the parasite one more time in the neck just to shut her up.
You will never go near him….The Queen whispered with the same murderous eyes she gave Rodan during the battle with the False King.
~I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium~
She looked behind the parasite to see Scylla taking a few steps back, completely stunned from what she did. What a foolish creature the parasite was, lost in her own wickedness to make her suffer she didn't see Scylla coming up from behind for a surprise attack. She suddenly felt the Muto shaking and saw foam coming out of her mouth as she growled down at her. She swatted the Queen hard to the left causing her to tumble once again in the dirt.
The Queen didn't have time to stop when the Muto clamp down on her wing with her teeth and pull her back to her. She was lifted up into the air and brought down hard on the ground before being lifted up again. The Queen didn't waste time and throw all her weight down towards the Muto and they both collapse to the floor. More dirt, grass and shimmer dust started to fly everywhere as the two females rolled around on the ground. The Queen lost count how many times she was hit and slammed, but she didn't give up, she will not let the parasite win. Clinging on to her, she dug a claw deeper into her stab wound in hopes the Muto would stop. All it did was make her scream in pain and feel her rage even more. The Muto's mouth started to swell up from her venom, but that didn't stop her from once again clamping down on her wing.
Stop, for kaiju's sake, stop, you're wrecking my nesting home! Scylla shouted, trying to get closer to them, but they buried deep into their fight to notice her.
Growing tired and weak, the Queen spit out another wad of silk as one last ditch effort to bring the Muto down. It splatter everywhere including herself, but the parasite still had a firm grip on her wing. She was thrown down on the ground again, this time on her stomach and have her back slash twice by the Muto's large claws. She screamed in pain while feeling the air hitting the open flesh followed by blood leaking out. The parasite started to shake her violently while snarling with white foam and blood flying everywhere. The Queen tried to grip onto to something, but it was no use. Her head was pounding, her vision was spinning out of control from all the shaking and at this rate, she was about to lose her wing if she didn't do something quick.
Get off of her! Get off of her right now! No more fighting!
The Queen suddenly felt another large mass falling on top of her and the Muto. the shaking stop and through her dizzy point of view she could see Scylla on top of the Muto while the Muto snarled at her. Scylla's long legs grabbed hold of the vile female's mouth and tried to pry it open..
Let go of her! Scylla screamed while trying to get her mouth to open.
The Muto continue to snarl in rage and pain and try to push Scylla away, but the Queen could tell her venom was finally taking an effect. The Muto was slowly down and was losing her balance a bit.
Come on, Muto! Let her go, NOW! Scylla screamed and finally yanked her mouth open and the Queen pulled her wing away. Frowning from seeing two puncture holes in them around her King's eye imprint, she quickly crawled away before the other two females could fall on her.
Scylla backed away as the Muto started to squirm and twitch on the ground with blood and drool spewing out of her mouth like a waterfall. Stupid…..bitch….I'll….I'll...get...you…...She gurgled while rolling around in the dirt.
The Queen was exhausted that she just laid there for a moment to catch her breath. What the hell happened she thought to herself.
Oh, my home! Scylla said in distress.
The Queen looked around and was very disturbed seeing Scylla's nesting ground in shambles and covered in blood. She was more disturbed with herself. What in the world came over her. It felt like all the anger and frustration over the past few weeks finally exploded thanks to the Muto and her vile words. She suddenly felt sad because all she wanted was to reconnect with her King after everything she had done to him and yet here she was fighting like some immature youngling. She knew the Muto only said those things just to piss her off, right? Surely she didn't have those urges for her King?
She thoughts were interrupted when she heard something dragging across the ground, coming near her. She looked straight ahead to see the Muto, dragging her numb body over to her with her claw. Panting, she growled, I'm not done with you…..I'll get you…..one….way….or another….I'll get you….you piece of filth….
She looked down at herself and she was covered in silk, dirt and blood and she sighs. She was not filth and her King didn't see her as damaged goods. He still loves her, right? Her King came into mind and she needed to be with him. Stupid as it sounds, she wanted to be with him to make sure the Muto won't get the chance. She picked herself up, ignoring the Muto's threats and Scylla and flew up into the sky.
Get back here…..how dare... you run off like…. a coward! She heard the Muto spat. Before going back to a squriming, twitchy mess.
She didn't look back and through the pain and struggles, she flew home while holding back her tears…

She didn't know how long she was flying or how far away she was from any land mass, but either way, something in her didn't feel right. Her flight started to slow down till she came to a complete stop. She was panting hard and struggling to keep herself in the air. The anger she was feeling for the Muto was replaced with dizziness and a lethargic feeling for some reason. She didn't get it, she flew around at a fast pace before and never felt this tired. How could she be so tired since she's been sleeping all day today and yesterday.
She looked around and realized she was right in the middle of the vast ocean with no land in sight. Darn, she was hoping to rest somewhere so she can catch her breath. She could just float around in the water, but the extra weight might make it hard for her to stay above the water. The hot sun beating down on her wasn't helping either and curse the fact that there were thick clouds in the sky and none of them were covering the sun for her.
It was faint, but she could hear Scylla calling out to her from far away. Goodness, she didn't think Scylla could keep up with her flying this fast...unless she was slowing down without even noticing. Her heart was beating fast and her eyes were getting heavy due to her lack of energy.
Ok, now that she thought about it, this was a big mistake….a stupid big mistake and decided she needed to get to Scylla before the sudden urge to pass out comsume her. Even though she can hear Scylla, she still couldn't see her and was so out of it to sense the direction she was coming from.
Dear Queen, I see you. Don't move! She heard Scylla shouting in a panic, but still didn't know what direction it was coming from.
Calm down, my friend,...I'm….
She flew a few more feet in an unknown direction before feeling herself falling down towards the ocean. She hit the surface of the water with a loud smacking sound before sinking under. She didn't ever try to swim, she just didn't have the energy. She looked up at the surface, seeing the bright yellow sun as she sank deeper and deeper. She placed her forearms on top of her round belly, feeling the guilt of putting her egg in harm's way due to her sudden outburst.
(My King…)
She suddenly saw a flash of red and orange colors blocking the sun then something diving into the water above her before closing her eyes. The sound of bubbles and sizzles could be heard as something wrap themselves around her swollen belly and pull her up to the surface. There was a huge splash and she could feel herself back into the sky again and the sound of wings flapping. The smell of smoke and ash invaded her sense of smell and she suddenly felt calm. Like she knew she was safe. Whoever was holding her, flew over to Scylla's voice before coming to a halt.
Though they sounded muffle, she can hear their voices and loud splashes of water.
Oh kaiju, is she Ok!
I don't know, she won't wake up.
What in the world are you doing here?! Have you been following her!
Seriously, you're going to ask that now. I was just flying around and all I could hear was you screaming for the Queen to stop.
If the King finds you-
I can drop her back into the ocean if you want me too! Trust me it-
Don't you dare, she's pregnant!
-wouldn't be the first time...wait, she's WHAT!
Why must they fight, she thought before blacking out…..
