Epic of Bee

"Fine, I do not see why there would be any problem to show you my home and the ways we build it. I will have to warn you, though, we produce the Bubble Nectar from our bodies with the help of ingesting the Crystal Glass nectar," The Queen explained to me, but I just nodded my head.

I had already assumed as much about how they made the Nectar, but that was fine. I had made plans with the girls to scan the Nectar, and the ways they used it, so that wasn't going to be a problem.

"That is more than okay; I have ways to examine things to learn more about them. Now, I would like to introduce you to my wives and my other friends that have joined me to come and visit you," I said but waited because the Queen had an overly confused look on her face.

Mordiriane looked like she was getting stressed out from my words, but I wasn't sure what exactly had tipped her. Maybe it was that I said that I had wives and not husbands?

"You call them… your friends? Why? Are they not your loyal subjects?" The Queen asked me, but her tone had changed to haughty like what you would think of a Queen, figures.

"Yes, they are my friends, my subjects, and my family. I care about each and every one of them, and they all treat me with respect," I said, narrowing my eyes.

I didn't want to get off on the wrong foot, but I really did not like the implications she was making with her questions. It sounded like Mordiriane was used to treating everyone as subjects that she ordered around and nothing more.

​ "I see. What you do with your Hive is none of my concern. I personally do not feel the same way about my subjects, and I would not dream of daring to call someone like that a friend!"

The Queen nearly spat the word friend out, and I could feel something inside of me starting to get upset. I could feel that my wives were also moving back from the Queen and me, which made it worse.

"No," I said plainly, and then turned back to my people and spoke. "We will be leaving now; call up and have them prepared to beam us back up."

"What?!" The Queen cried from behind me. "You would just leave so rudely after asking for a gift?!"

"Deep breath," Miasma said to me, and I did so before turning on the Idiot Queen.

"Yes, I will Bee. I will send someone back down after, and then you can give them the sample of the Glass Nectar," I said about turning back away, but the Queen wasn't finished.

"So, you will just treat us like this?!" The Queen screamed at me, making me cringe since it was so close.

I turned with a stern look on my face. This child like attitude was starting to get on my nerves.

"I think that if I come into your Hive and see the way that you treat you people, I will be taking them from you. Part of me still thinks that I should do this anyway, but that is not who I am. I find it disgusting that you consider you people to have so little value in your eyes," I said to the Queen, but she retorted back with a rude laugh.

"You think that because you treat the people good that are meant to serve you, makes you noble, do you? You think that because I treat my people like subjects that it makes me less of a Queen than you are?" The Queen said, her haughty tone was now as thick as honey.

I glared at her but then turned back to my wives and guards.

"Let's go before I get angry. This was a mistake coming down here," I said, but the Queen just couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Oh?! You think that you can just insult the Queen of the SugaBee?! I will MAKE YOU PAY!" I heard her scream, but then she started to scream in a regular im scared scream, and I turned around.

Behind me were all my Troll Brawlers, and they all walked over to the Queen. They all but kicked the guards out of the way.

I was about to say something, but then Ryan appeared directly beside me and placed an arm out to stop me.

"GUARDS! Surround our Queen!" Ryan shouted as soon as he appeared, and all the guards who were down here rushed forward.

Moiraine had now gone silent, but I could no longer see her, but she had just threatened me. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to deal with this, I was the law for my people, but this was another Queen.

"Let me speak to her," I said to Ryan, but he kept his arm up.

"No, not after she just threatened you. You will be transported back to the ship at the count of ten, where it is safe. From there, you can talk to her over the intercoms, or you can come down in your QBee Drone, but I will not allow you to place yourself in danger where there is no need for it," Ryan told me, and I nodded in understanding.

Ryan was right, and I had already put myself at risk when I was gathering the Trolls. I felt hands on my arms and shoulders, but I was surprised that neither of the two Cat Dragons had acted up.

'That is because there was no reason to fear her. Either of us would have killed her if we would have considered her a threat," Atom said in my mind.

'The Bee is really a Cockatrice, probably scared of her own shadow and weak, just like her people. The entire time she was yelling at you, she was scared of you,' Thanos explained, and I sighed but then was suddenly back inside the ship.
