Epic of Bee

After Bresma was finished… cleaning her Kunia, I waited for her to put it away and pick up the rest of the pieces of the daggers that had smashed into it. I still found it hard to believe that they didn't leave a scratch on the wall.

Whatever that red stuff was on the Predators cloaks, it was hazardous if it could blow a hole in the ship's side. There were other things like the interior pressure of the ship that could affect that, but it was still something to consider for the future.

"I think I have it all now," Bresma said, and we both stood up.

Thankfully college break was over, and my heart had returned to a reasonable pace, and now it was time to start distributing points. I was also going to have to think of a name for her before that to target her with it.

"Do you like the name Rixie? Sorry I am not very good at this kind of thing, and it was the first thing that came to mind," I said to Bresma, but she got a big smile on her face and nodded.

"No, that is a good name, and it sounds… more like me, but I don't know why, but I like it," Rixie said with a warm smile.

"Alright then, I am going to start with your class," I said to her as I activated the Queen System.

[System] Activated!

[Hive Points Available] 221.

[Would you like to use a point] Yes/No?

Yes, holy crap, what has everyone been doing for the last 2 days?!

[Select a target]

Rixie.

[Subject: Rixie]: Class option:

[Shadow Bee Blade Dancer] Or [AssasiBee]

This was a pretty easy pick, while AssasiBee sounded fantastic and all, but Shadow Bee Blade Dancer is what made sense. I am sure that the clash will come up again with the other Raccoon Folk later when I get to them.

I made the selection as Rixie watched me expectantly, and then she burst with light. There was no one near me besides Rixie, so there was no need to warn anyone.

As the light cleared, Rixie's black strips of cloth had become one suit of a smoother material that would be easier to move in, but there were no yellow, figures. That would not make for perfect stealth, but the daggers that were in her hands were now gone.

"Rixie, I am sorry about your Kunia…." I started to say but trailed off as Rixie reached into her arm and pulled one of the blades out.

Or at least that is what it looked like at first, but as I watched her pull her hand out, I could see what she was doing. Rixie was using the Shadow cast from her hand to grab her weapons, but it gave the appearance of Rixie reaching into her body.

"This is amazing!" Rixie said, but then Miku jumped out of a shadow nearby and came running over.

"Can you use the shadows too?" Miku asked in excitement as she ran over to us.

"I don't," but Rixie's voice cut off in shock as Miku pulled her into her own shadow.

I just stood there stunned as both vanished, but then they jumped out of another shadow three meters away by one of the chairs by the table.

"Sorry, do you need her for anything, or can I go show Rixie around. You know, since she will be teaching me and all, we might as well get used to each other," Miku said nonchalantly, and I smiled happily.

"No, I have nothing else now, but later, you two should come to see me so I can scan her and find out her abilities. For now, you can go and show Rixie around," I told the girls, and they both smiled broadly and then disappeared back into the shadow.

That was cute, and I think that both of the girls could use friends. I had noticed that I hadn't been seeing her with Xani very much, and I was worried about that.

From what they had told me, it was the worst kind of thing for them to be apart from each other, but neither seemed to Bee stress out by it. Maybe with the evolution, they have gained the ability to distance themselves more now, or maybe it got rid of the link altogether.

All more things to add to the list to figure out, but I think that I will have to ask Xani about that. I don't think Miku would really know, and I would probably just end up confusing her.

I turned back to the other four that were on the other side of the room, and they were all walking back over to me. Everyone one of the girls had a giant grin on their face, and I just shook my head and sighed.

"So are you ready to go see these boys now, or did that little experience tire you out too much? Those were quiet the noise we heard," Miasma teased as she came over to give me a kiss.

"I think you were just jealous that it wasn't you making those noises! Now, stop being a little tart and take me to see our new fighter," I said as I tickled her, and then Messia, Riza, and Joni came over to join us.

I let go of Miasma and then pulled Messia to me and gave her a kiss that she fell into. The press of her lips on mine continued for a while.

I got to enjoy a real kiss from her; there was even some tongue before the rush of jelly came. Even as the jelly rushed, I could still feel the kissing press of her lips.

"Okay, now I am ready to go," I said after Messia, and I broke apart, grabbing the girl's hands and waiting for Riza and Joni to lead the way.

Both Messia and Miasma leaned in on either side of me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and then the shoulder as we left the central chamber. Time to go make up a whole bunch of names!
