Chapter 16 - Gale

A cold wind was rising from the west carrying thin wisps of smoke. Isra spared no bee. She smoked them all from left to right and they fell and slumbered on her feet. They couldn't do anything about her armour either. She was truly a demon. But that didn't mean they were completely helpless. 

Isra had finished smoking a squadron and in the next moment, A bee distinguished from the rest. Slammed into her helmet at an unimaginable speed. #212 was not going to let her destroy another NECTOR#1. They were his to protect. 

#212 danced around her with an undescribable grace. Avoiding the smoke by inches and striking at precise moments. He was a menace on the field, relentless and untiring. Isra was getting pushed. But not for long.

She had caught up with his movements and before he could deliver another blow, the smoker was pointed right at his face, all loaded. Then suddenly a cloud swooshed in from above and carried the bee aside. His speed was so uminaginable that the smoker broke. The nozzle collapsed.

Isra looked up at Qatan who was brimming with electricity, His shape was contorted and looked ominous as the white fur changed to grey. Then dark grey. Then as it happened. The whole world was suddenly enveloped into night for a few seconds and when the night was over. In his paws he held a sword made of pure electricity. It was long and radiated an overwhelming aura of power.

She dropped the Smoker and raised her hands up. But Qatan knew better. She wasn't giving up just yet and before he could do something. A gale of wind blew him away and pushed isra to the ground. The bees had started buzzing louder. 

Barely resisting the wind she looked up and saw a scene that paled everything else in comparison, A mighty figure in golden armour was descending from the sky. It looked regal by every angle. It was a huge magnificent bee with wings that scattered vibrant colors all around her. She looked like an angel. Queen Golden was here herself.

"ENOUGH!" she shouted. 

And they all submitted. Including Khadija and Isra, Even Qatan flew sheepishly and looked at her with reverence. He had already dismissed his sword. 

"Not on my land. This will not continue!" And just like that, the battle was over. They all lost. 

"Cuff them up and bring them to the throne room. Inclduing him" She looked at Qatan and just like that Queen Golden was gone.

Noone dared to run away. Noone dared to disobey. She was the ruler of that field and reverence was hers. Qatan along with the demon child and khadija were took prisoners. 

Soon, two bees of dull grey color and elongated wings landed on khadija and Isra, And they stung them. The sting was painless but both the girls were unconscious now. Huge carts were called that were propelled by hundreds of bees and they took the girls deep within the hive.
