Epic of Bee-Chapter 260 [Bonus Chapter] Fallout

After collecting the last Blood Sac, my group headed back to the vampire village. The trip was made in silence, but I had a lot on my mind, so I was okay with just riding on the floating platform. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

I was concerned about the vampires and If my ability to take them on was even going to work to help with the light. The vampire bear, Bill, was going to be the real challenge, but if my abilities could fix him, then everyone else would be good.

[Yes, I believe that the Queen System will sort everything out, for now, you should be concentrating on what we are going to do to stop that weapon. I don't know if the Meccat will have the ship ready in time to get to space to stop it if they try to fire.]

'I am not really sure either. If I had the Hive, I am sure that we could use it to get into space, but with it under the Sky folk's control, I don't know,' I said as Shiva took us down the tunnel.

We were only about five minutes from the cavern, so I decided to see if anyone else had any ideas. I was a Queen, but I wasn't expected to think of every plan, and that is why I have subjects to help me with things like this.

"Shiva, Sakura, or Helaina; do either of you have any idea about what we can do to stop the Sky folk from attacking with the Divinity Spike?" I asked the three women, and they shook their heads on either side of me.

"No, I didn't learn anything about space or how to get there," Helaina explained to me, and I nodded, turning to Sakura, who gave me more or less the same reply.

"Sorry, never had the interest in leaving until now, but Shiva might have an answer to your question," Sakura explained, but Shiva was the only one that hadn't spoken up.

"Do you know of something that we could do?" I asked, concentrating on the lioness' head at the front of the platform where we were standing.

Shiva didn't reply right away or even move her head at first, and I started to think she didn't hear me. Either that, or she ignored me, but before speaking up, Shiva rotated her head back to face me.

"You could shoot it down, but there are several factors that can play into doing this. Shooting something as big as this thing Rai Cait spoke of would take a strong weapon, but the fallout of its extremely low orbit. It orbits between sixty and one hundred miles from the surface, so doing so could be nearly as bad as the weapon. While I do agree that there are many vile Sky folk, not all of them are like the ones in the positions of power," Shiva explained as we got closer to the vampire village.

"Are you worried that we are going to kill the people on the Divinity Spike? While I do agree that this is wrong, killing them will be much better than wiping out all those goblins, right?" Sakura asked.

I talked before with my girls about the goblins and Tellarider, so they knew what was at stake. The problem was that Sakura just didn't know anything about space or how the forces of gravity would work up there.

"I don't care about killing a few people if it means saving many more, but destroying the Divinity Spike would have devastating effects on the Sky folk. The thing is a massive long structure with eight rings over a mile diameter. I can tell that if we were to shoot something of that size, the fallout from the debris coming back down would kill many in the air and on the ground," Shiva explained as we arrived at the opening to the vampire's village.

I had expected this answer, but I would still consider this idea. If they were going to try and kill thousands, including some of what was sure to be some of the subjects, then there was no way I would let that happen.

"The Sky folk have made their bed by going this far to move a weapon of that magnitude over the location. On top of that, I am only here because the Sky folk tried to capture me and succeeded in doing so to all my subjects for no reason. Whatever happens, will be on them, but my people and the lives of the goblins come first and foremost," I explained as we entered the chamber, and three of us girls hopped off Shiva.

Once we were off, Shiva transformed back into her body as people started to gather around. They were all staring at Shiva with mixed looks of awe and fear.

"So, you actually did it? There is no other way that one of the Eternal Guardians would be able to leave their post, but it is still hard to believe!" Maurice exclaimed as he pushed through the crowded people with his slug brother, Hamble.

The two of them had big smiles that only got bigger as I nodded to them.

"Yes, and we also completed the mission for Bill and brought the final Blood Sac," I explained.

"Good, this will put Bill in a much better mood! Come, and we will take you to him!" Hamble said with more excitement than I had ever seen from him.

I nodded with a smile, but then he looked to my right and spotted Sakura, freezing solid other than to poke his brother. Maurice looked over and turned white as a ghost as his eyes fell on my Nine-Tailed lover.

I turned to look at Sakura and then shoved my fingers into her sides, making her hands fly into the air. My lover was giving everyone a cold stare, so I turned that stare on me after I stopped tickling Sakura.

"Don't be such a bear to everyone!" I scolded my Angry looking cat as the crowd separated to give us a clear path through.
