Epic of Bee - Chapter 237

“I have many things at my disposal, so just wait for me,” I said as I lowered Helaina to the ground, and she nodded with another sigh but didn’t say anything more as I turned back to the barrier.

“I really hope that you know what you are doing, and I wish Hilda was here to try and convince you otherwise. It is what it is, but I guess your System won’t let you do something that will get you hurt,” Thanos said from my shoulder but then hopped off.

“We have to trust that this is true from everything, but your luck will run out soon. I think if you keep relying on it. Please don’t make us regret this choice you have asked of us,” Tigra said, rubbing on my neck but then jumping off to join Thanos.

“I agree with them both, and I think that it is silly for you to do something like this, but I can tell you determination. Come back to us, my Queen,” Atom sent to me as he emerged from me with wings out and glided down with the other two.

All of their words were hard to hear, but I was not going to let something like that get in my way. I did have a plan, and that was to test the System before I even went into the barrier.

I would make my decision then, but for now, I had to project an air of supreme confidence, or there is no way that anyone would agree to this. I was going to attempt to dive into the Queen System like when I synced with the QBee Drone, but I wasn’t sure what would happen.

I floated forward until I was about ten feet from the ultra-black barrier, and the blue lights around me started to distort. As I had gotten closer, I had started to notice that it was getting hazier, but I just assumed that was from the barrier.

I closed my eyes and pulled my legs up to rest my hands on to help me focus. I concentrated on the Queen System, all the parts that I knew, but I also focused on the unknown that must be hidden from me.

I held this all in my mind fiercely, and then I Synced with my Queen System.

[Queen System Sync] Achieved!

Something happened inside and everywhere on my body. Simultaneously, the Queen System started activating something that had been hidden inside every cell in my body. Then, I was in that place between everything, and there was a glowing white body in front of me.

“Who are you? Are you even a person?” I asked, but the body only raised its single right arm with the palm out to face me.

The being only had two arms, and I found that extremely unusual. I assumed the Queen System would be a reflection of me, but then, maybe it was?

I had come here for answers, as much as I could get. So, I raised my upper left arm and pressed my palm to the beings.

Suddenly, I was thrown across the FIRE, and I felt my consciousness be torn from Kadeon and then the galaxy it was in. I burst up on the island of Pinnacala, the center of the First Integrated Reality Engine.

“Why did you bring me here?” I asked, but the being was gone.

I was confused about why I was here, but when I turned around, I almost screamed.

“Sorry, but I can’t move. I can only talk here because I am not really here at all. My name is Jessica, and I have been helping you from the Everclock Realm, but your timing could not be more impeccable, as always,” Jessica or B2 said, but I was in shock at the ultra-black human with long hair.

What did this mean? Why was B2 in control of my Queen System?

“We sent you back, but that is all I can tell you. You will have complete access to all the functions of the Queen System now; you are ready now. Tyler and the Risen are about to attack, so you will lose contact with me, but I will talk to you again once I can secure another location to transmit to you,” Jessica told me, but that was when I finally was able to speak.

“Why are you the one in control? What is going on?” I asked, but Jessica shook her head.

“You asked me to, and I have to go, but the Queen System will give you what you need to know when it is time! Trust in yourself!” called to me, but I was being ripped down, back to Kadeon.

[WARNING!]: Proximity breached!

[QBee Alert Ping] Activated!

I was back in my body, but at the same time, it was like the first time, but not. The feeling was ineffable, but I didn’t have time for that; the damn cat was trying to eat me!

[DragonBee Shyft: Royal Queen Form] Activated!

I turned around in a Mecha Form of my own body and was twelve feet tall. I backhanded a massive Tiger that had nine white tails with burning pink fire at the ends of each.

The creature was knocked away, and I was able to watch it happen and see how she also had the same pink fire on her paws. There were also pink strips on her adorably pissed-off face, but I glared at the Ninetails as she landed.

“Bad Kitty! If you are supposed to be inside your barrier, and you interrupted me. I don’t think you should try to attack me so quickly; why not have a chat?” I asked casually, but she seemed to only understand the first thing I said.

“Who are you?! You should be dead! How are you so much stronger than you were an instant ago?!” The Ninetails asked me with a growl, and I shook my head no.

“You see, we are supposed to start with names, right? I am Ashia, a DragonBee. Now, this is the part where you tell me your name, right?” I said, but I only seemed to irritate her more, and the Ninetails lunged for me, and I sighed internally.

Fine, we can do this the hard way.
