Epic of Bee

The creature was like something out of a horror film, and it looked like no bug that I had ever seen. It looked more like the Hydrion that Granthus was trying to complete before we stopped him, with the creature having three heads on long necks.

That was where the similarities ended, though, and the rest was all bug, but like a combination of things. It had three heads and one large, but round shelled body with tiny legs surrounding it.

[Name]: Hydra-Sect

[Class]: Carnivorous Predator

[Abilities]:

[Regenerating Heads]: Hydra-Sect can regenerate their heads.

[Acid Spit]: Hydra-Sect can spit an acid gel up to thirty feet. Desinagrates biological material only. It can be used as Metal Cleaner.

[Shell Resistance]: Hydra-Sect\'s shell is resistant to Physical Damage.

[Triple Bite]: Hydra-Sect can make three bite attacks if the target is within melee range, and provided it had headed to do so. Triple Bite can not be used if it has less than three heads

[Gene]: Acid.

Mmmh, liking this monster less and less, plus there was the bit about the acid. I was biological material, and I did not want to become disintegrated!

"Well, I guess that it is back to waiting for someone brave to come save the Queen in distress!" Thanos said in my head, trying to egg me on.

"Call me what you want, but I am just looking at this realistically! That acid could do some serious damage to me, so rushing in without a plan is a horrible idea, right?" I said, and Power Toes kept quiet.

I knew that I needed to beat it, but the acid and watching it eat some creature were starting to get to me. I needed to push forward, but I wasn\'t sure what I could do with something that would just grow back its heads that I cut off, and it was resistant to physical attacks.

"I know that you didn\'t want to use your magic in here, but I think that this would be a perfect time to test some of it out. Use your Dragons breath on it, and I think that will be more than enough to take something like this down," Atom explained to me, and I pulled up my spells as he spoke.

,m That would be the best plan, but I would have to get in range of the creature\'s acid spit. I decided that I was going to have to get over this irrational fear of getting hurt, and I sucked in a deep breath and burst from my cover.

At first, the creature didn\'t notice me, but the moment I reached forty feet, the three heads turned to me, but I was already in range. Before the creature could rear back to shoot using its Acid Spit, I called out the spell.

"Dragonfire Breath!" I called out and then took in a deep breath, and the Hydra-Sect launched three balls of spit at me, but that was when I exhaled.

Blue white fire poured out of my mouth and then engulfed the creature, burning the acid out of the air before it could reach me. The creature only squealed briefly and then was reduced to ashes before I even finished.

I stopped the fire, and the tunnel was completely empty, save for the pile of ash that was once the creature and its victim. That was far easier than I had made it out to be, and I was starting to build up some confidence.

"See, no problem! All you need is faith and confidence!" Thanos said, but then there was a roar that came from up the tunnel.

"That doesn\'t sound like something friendly," Tigra said, and I agreed with her, but I was set with what I needed to do.

"I have to keep on pushing forward, no matter what is ahead of me. I need to get back to my people and rescue them from the Sky Folk. I also need to deal with the Tellarider and Trent, but that was going to be a lot harder now that they were allowed to do as they wished," I said out loud as I started to press forward, floating off the ground, but then I heard another sound that was a lot different then the monsters roar, it was a female screaming in fear.

"That sounds like someone is in trouble!" Tigra said, but I had already doubled my speed and was jetting forward.

"Help! Stay back! I didn\'t do anything to you, and I just woke up!" The woman cried, but she was still a ways away from me, so I pushed myself, still holding the blades.

I started to get an image of the cavern that was ahead on my mini-map, and whatever was attacking the woman was massive. According to my scanners, it was nearly five times my size, and I had to force myself not to stop in shock when I saw the giant centipede that was attacking the woman.

The woman… Was she a bee? No, that couldn\'t be right; she looked different than the SugaBees, and nothing like me, but I had no time to focus on her.

The creature was going in for the kill, and by kill, I meant eating the woman whole, and I had no time left. I let go of my swords and dove in, grabbing the woman off the ground at high speed.

I just barely missed becoming a two-for-one taco special, and the creature smashed its head into the ground as I looped around and flew as far away from the creature as I could get. The giant centipede reared its head back and let out a chittering roar in a challenge, and I could feel the glare of hatred coming from it as it locked onto me.

"Who are you?" The woman asked me as I dropped down to the ground and set the woman down, but I didn\'t have time to answer her; the creature was already coming for us.

I pulled up the menu and selected the option that I had wanted to use on the council. I just had to hope that it would work in time, or me rescuing this girl would have been all for nothing.
