PROLOGUE: A rest earned

It was definitely tiring.

The man clad in purple went into his chamber and rested himself in the coffing that was placed in the middle of the room. The coffin was connected to a big machine that blinked red and yellow lights all around. Buttons, levers, everything known to man and Trekkies was on this machine. The multiple pipe lines came from behind the machine, layed sprawling on the floor and went into the side of the coffin. Apparently, this machine is a soul grabber machine. Apart from connecting to the coffin, another side of the machine connects itself to a huge dome-like contraption, where the souls are put into, and then would be transfered to this machine, and be processed to the taste of the Dark Messiah.

Knowing full well that Q Bee knows how to handle this contraption, Jedah layed down in his coffin, closed his eyes, and await the return of the Queen of Soul Bess.

He slept and rested for the whole day and several more to come.

END OF PROLOGUE

PART 1: A little History on Mikai

Being given the machine and contraptions to make the travel to earth possible, the Soul Bees got themselves ready for their first target of the day.

Now, one might wonder how did the Mikai realm gets the technology to even create such a monstrous machine that can carry the Soul Bee's hivequarters through dimensional realms. That's easy, because it is owned by Jedah. The reason that Mikai never gets any good futuristic hi-tech over the edge technology is because all the good futuristic hi-tech over the edge technology is taken by Jedah only. Or should we say, his castle anyway.

Apparently, before Jedah slept thousands of years ago, he had created a little Information Retriver Soul(IRS) that would retrieve information from all realms and create new technologies and advances on his own castle's utilities and machines.

And since Jedah's rule over Mikai was merely his Overlord Sub-Concious, the technologies he acquired with his IRS was never shared around the realm, all for the reason that he does not want the denizens of Mikai to gain technology that can destroy him in his sleep. And seeing the technologies that he had in his castle, it pretty much can decimate him from existence.

Still, only some trusted Mikanese are given the permission to be in the castle during his thousands of years rest and these Mikanese were the one taught on how to use the machines and to study them so that they can use their higher intellect and create better machines. And maybe even combine magicks and machines to create the ultimate machine.

That is how Mikai is blessed with the impossible technology of the impossible vortex that can make the Dimensional travel with the Steam Engine driven train, the Iron Horse. And also the Iron Terror. But that's beside the point.

The point is, is that the result of the scientists in Jedah's castle, who are also more like prisoners, not to be let out of the castle for all eternity out of fear of information leaks, can create the inter-dimensional vehicle that can transport a huge Bee Hive from one realm to another.

Of course, like the trains, the inter-dimensional vehicle travel is dangerous to the mental and physical stability of the body. Some Darkstalkers, who are weak in mind might end up with a difigured mind, which would then render them totally retarded and useless, hence, sent to be killed off and some who are weak in terms of physical restrainations, can end up with a hand above his head or a mouth on the stomach, who would then be left abandoned on earth(and later on be the disfigured monsters humans would call Goblins or some others).

In any case, Q Bee is now used to the painful inter-dimensional cross travels and docks her Hive in the middle of what looks to be a field. An informer told them they are in a place called Africa, in the outbacks of it and there's a village near the parts they landed that contained some really good souls according to the soul-o-meter.

Q Bee then gave out the orders to gather the souls.

END OF PART 1

PART 2: Gathering the Souls

The Soul Bees swarmed out of their Hive, going out into the world of the humans, trying to do a job for their master, their savior.

Q Bee still stayed on her seat in the Hive, monitoring her people from inside, the monitors turned on, showing her the whereabouts of her minions.

Cameras were placed on the shoulders of the 400 Gatherer Bees so that she can see that he minions are not lazing about on the job, thought in reality, she has no real worries of this as the bees do work themselves to death when given an order from the Queen.

But still, it is interesting to see what her minions are seeing.

A village. Full of people who not wearing much clothings. They wear enough to cover their private parts. They were all dark in color and most of them have some kind of paint around them. And these people were pretty much surprised to see a swarm of huge bees coming towards them.

Most of them ran away, and succeeded too. Those will be dealt with on a later time. For now, they will have to open up the shells of these humans and take out their souls for the master to feed. If their lucky, they might take more than the load that the master needed and take the extra souls for themselves. They might even have a feast tonight.

The Queen observes as her minions tear their claws into the human shells and and opened it up, leaving a bloody print on the ground. Blood was flying all over the village, much combined with innards and organs and other stuff. it was really messy and way too violent, but if the Queen wasn't a Soul Bee she'd have tried to figure out a way to make these Soul Gathering a much more swift and cleaner task, but since she is a Soul Bee, she pretty much enjoy the violence and the raw morbidness of it all.

Soon enough, the village is just full of empty bodies and blood painted surfaces. The souls all roam in the air around the village, pretty much confused as to what happened to them and can't really do much of anything for a couple of hours but roam around the air, figuring out what they are, who they are and what happened.

More than enough time to collect everything. The signal was them given to the Hive for collection, Q Bee took out a handle and what seems to be the sucking end of Vacuum Cleaner and buzzed out of the hive.

She floated on the air, looking down at the village while the other Soul Bees fly away from the aim of the Vacuum Head. She flipped a switch on the handle of the Vacuum head and a light went on the LED that was above the switch. The Vacuum Head made a little whooshing sound and then air gets sucked into the Vacuum. Weirdly enough, none of the tangible objects around the area gets sucked in other than the wandering souls above the village.

But Q Bee forgot to give a warning to some of her Soul Bee. Well, one actually.

Usually, before she starts sucking, she'd give out a little cry of, 'Que Gasta!', to tell her minions that the soul sucking is about to commence and this would make them flee from the vicinity of the soul sucking. But since she forgot to do this, one of her minions was victimised by the Soul Vacuum.

The Bee was agaped at the sight of it's own soul being sucked out of it's body, conciousness of the shell staying for a few more minutes, seeing the soul go into the Vacuum and later on, the Bee blacked out and collapsed onto the floor.

The Queen Bee gave out a little Oops and shrugged it off as a casualty and a plus to the Soul Gathering. After the souls were all collected, she turned off the vacuum and then flipped another switch just before the flexible tube that is connected to the Vacuum Handle and looks as the soul goes through the tube as moving bumps and into the Hive.

In the Hive, the souls would be transfered from the tube into a special container the size of a small room. The container is also in the form of a bee hive, in which they will use to be put into the Soul Dome in Jedah's castle.

The meter of the Container hive didn't go up so much. Just about 46%. They needed more than this definitely if they were to satisfy the Vampire Saviour.

Q Bee turned towards the Reconaissance Bees and asked them to go forth and search for the ones that fleed the massacre. The R-Bees are not fighters, but once they do find the shells, they'll have to give out the Soul Bee calling signals, 'Me Gata!' so that the Soldier Bees and Gatherer Bees can start on their work. The R-Bees bowed towards the Queen and went out of the hive, separating in the outside, each going it's own ways.

Then, the Queen turned towards the Patrol Bees and asked them to look for the souls as well. And since the P-Bees are somewhat of a half fighter, if they were to find any Shells, kill off the humans but they were not allowed to open the shells, because they have not the skills to open it without damaging the souls, unlike the Gatherer Bees. The P-Bees bowed towards the Queen and also went off to start their search.

The Drone Bees were ordered to maintain the stature of the Hive Container and control the Temperament of the souls so that it may not damage the machine as a little speck of hole in the Container can mean a disaster as the souls can fly off through it.

The Bees all got to work, with the S-Bees and the G-Bees standing in position waiting for the signal from the P-Bees and the R-Bees.

It wasn't long until an R-Bee shouted the signal and at that exact moment, all the S-Bees and G-Bees swarmed out of the Hive, and the monitors in the Hive turned on as the cameras are activated by the air outside of the Hive. Q Bee sees a whole batch of new humans, wearing what seems to be some sort of official military garbs and another group of humans wearing some rag tag types of clothings. Not at all uniformed.

The rag tag bunch ran away from the scene while the S-Bees and the G-Bees are engaged in an intense battle with the army lookalikes. Seeing as how the soul is starting to fly, Q Bee opened up a little hole above the Hive Container and a the same Vacuum that sucked the souls above the village is now sucking any souls that was opened up by the G-Bees in the battle.

Q Bee than wonders what of the Rugged bunch of humans that fleed the scene and asked one of her minions(through the mental buzz shared by all Soul Bee) to scout around for the Rag Tag bunch. It wasn't long until she spotted them on Camera #101. She was a bit distracted with camera #103 but just shrugged it off as a fluke and nothing much.

In any case, it seems that the rag tag bunch are coming towards the Hivequarters. Excellent, thought the Queen and she took out the Vacuum Head again and aims it towards the entrance of the Hive.

If the humans even showed a little pinky at the door, this vaccum will suck all their souls right off! the Queen thinks until she looked again at camera #101 and noticed that the humans had turned back towards the battlefield. The Queen cursed under her breath and put the vacuum handle back down.

She sits back on her seat, pouting her lips and puts her chin on her hand and placed that hand on the armrest.

"Oh poopy..."

END OF PART 2

PART 3: The return to the castle

<Most of the humans got away... sorry>

<Oh pish tosh, things like this happen... plus, we've gotten 89% of what can be contained in the Hive Container, and that's always a good thing, so we didn't lose much.> The Queen replied, to ease the mind of her minions, <Plus, we can go make up the loss of today's by going to a bigger village tomorrow. The Lord can wait a couple more day, he did sleep for thousands of years before.>

The Queen strutted in the station, awaiting the arrival of the train. The Hive Container was brought out of the Hivequarters, due to the fact that the Hivequarters can't travel much in the Mikai realm, so the Bees are quietly waiting for the Iron Terror to arrive so that the can move on to their destination, Jedah's castle.

This train was a special train for the Soul Bees to use to transfer the collected souls to their master, mostly due to the fact that the Soul Bees basically hates the other races on this realm. They do have a very violent and warring nature, and basically, pretty much makes them think lowly against other races.

The train arrives seconds later and the Drone Bees board the Hive Container onto the back car of the train. The Queen and some S-Bees and a few of the G-Bees board the other car in front of the Container Car to guard the Container Hive.

Of course, Q Bee sees this most of the time as useless, since this train is never hijacked out of fear of enraging the Lord Jedah. As usual, the train will have a smooth ride all the way to Jedah's castle. Nothing will happen, as usual.

As usual.

END OF PART 3

EPILOGUE: End of... Q Bee Chapter 1?

From the other car, Q-Bee watched as the locomotive moved away from other cars. Somehow, the battle damaged the connection between the engine and the other cars. It didn’t matter, the foolish girl is as good as dead, even if her immune system could fight off the poisons, Q-Bee figured the train would take the girl back on a route to Earth. No human alone could survive the journey with the exhaustion, and stress placed on the mind and body from dimensional travel. Only a Darkstalker could survive. Instead the queen took to the skies to join her people’s hunt for the lost souls.

The above was a snippet taken from BB Hood Chapter 3, entitled Lost Little Girl. Best to read that chapter as well to understand the full story of Q Bee's adventures. In the happenings of after the battle was that Q Bee is now pretty much running on earth trying to gather the souls that was freed by the interference of BB Hood and this resulted in no soul delivery to Jedah. This pretty much enraged him and he sent his information sub-concious to gather the souls himself instead of relying onto a bunch of twit drone bees. But that's a story of another chapter.
