Epic of Bee - Chapter 194
“Boys?” I called out, not really sure what else to say; I had to assume that something happened with the two of them.
“Yes, our most excellent Queenliest of Queens, we are now one,” The dragon said with a double-layered voice of the two boys.
“Wait, you two are fused now? Is this permanent?” I asked, looking at the gigantic creature floating in the air with amazement, but then it flashed.
Suddenly there were two people instead of one dragon, and I knew that it was the boys from my mini-map. The thing was that they were very different from how they looked before, but both had dragon-like features.
Tag was still black and red, but it looked like he was twice the thickness that he was before. Now he looks like he was a giant dragon knight… Dragonite… I see what the system did there…
On the other hand, Sig stayed the same size, but his face now looked more draconic, and he had tiny wings and a jetpack on his back. He was silver and green, but he no longer had any fur.
“No, we can separate. I guess that it was easier to show us how to do it but starting us off that way,” Tag said, looking down at his hands.
“We can carry Serria and you to the canyon fast if you rest on our back. This new form is Excellent beyond belief! At first, I wasn’t sure how it was going to work with the movement, but it’s like we sync up and are able to work as a team!” Sig said with excitement, and then he started flying in circles around us until he was a blur.
“What is he doing?” Serria asked, and I saw Tag roll his red eyes.
“Showing off. We can talk to each other in our thoughts now because we are both Dragon Folk now, so we have been talking since it happened. We can combine a few different ways and get different effects. What Sig is doing will create a faster form, but he doesn’t need to go that fast, and I’ll be lucky if he doesn’t rip my arm off before we can combine,” Tag explained, and before I could ask him anything, he reached his arm out, and there was an explosion of light.
When it was clear, Serria and I gawked at the giant Jet Fighter that was hovering in the air. Serria would have no idea what this was, but I still remembered what it was from the Seed world.
“You both can get inside, and we will close the top and take us to the Snake Canyon very quickly,” the men’s double-layered voice called to me as the top glass opened up for their cockpit.
“What is that? A metal bird? Or is it some kind of insect that I don’t know about? Or a race flying Sky Meccat?” Serria asked with the sound of confusion droning out of her.
“It is a fighter jet, and it can go very fast, so that is all that really matters, but I have never seen one quite this big,” I said as I flew towards the cockpit, waving for serria to come with me.
Once, the two of us were seated since the place was far more significant than a typical fighter plane, about twenty meters wide and thirty long. There were no buttons or gauges, but we could see outside, and I have all my own maps and monitors to track our progress.
The map was scaled to standard, so everything was in miles and feet; just how made this all? Since when did the system switch from metric, the more accurate way to scale things?
‘This makes it easier for your subject to read the measurements of the abilities in their classes, but I am not really sure why it changed for you,’ Hilda told me in my head.
Hmmm, well, I could read both, so it wasn’t really that different, but I preferred metric, so I would just have to convert anything that I saw to make it easier for myself. Now it was time for us to get going, but it wouldn’t take us very long if what I assumed about this ship was right.
“Okay, men, we are sitting down and ready to get going,” I called out, but as I did, straps came over me to pin me down, and I almost laughed.
“Hold on, from the estimate, we would make it the eighty-three miles in about five minutes, but this will put eight G’s of force on you, so you better brace your MechaBee for it. I know that you are not in there yourself, but we don’t have the same kind of gravity stabilizers like the Bee Bikes,” the men… no, Tagsig explained; I needed a name for them, and the combo worked just as well as they did.
“Okay, I understand,” I called out and then turned back to see Serria strapped in and nodded to her. “This will be hard on your frame, but you should be okay; I wish I could fortify you like I am.”
My body could heal itself, and it was fortified from my dragon armor that would activate to reinforce my body when I started to get damaged, even outside of battle. I was worried about how Serria’s smaller MechaBee would be able to handle it, but Serria put my worries to rest.
“You don’t need to worry, I can regenerate faster than any damage can hurt, and my body will adapt to the damage. Once I take a certain type of damage, my body will start to resist it and be able to heal from it faster. This with being considered Force Damage, I think so I will be fine,” Serria explained to me, and then Tagsig started to move, and we made a loop.
“Okay, get ready! Three, Two, One…” Tagsig called out over the intercom, and I felt a pressure start to build behind me, and then at one, we rocketed forward and neck-breaking speeds.
