Cosmic Bees and Beedog : Part 1 -- A Call to Arms

[beeees]

Who: CLOSED | SHORE LEAVE
Where: SPACE (Space space). Technically.
Summary: Guys & Girls in tight beesuits with no pants have adventures where good guys and bad guys are so much in their set spectrum they might have good and evil headbands.
Warnings: Bees and Wasps,

It so once happened that in a Galaxy far away in the multiverse, the B's did do battle against the Evil Giant Wa'sps. The Wa'sps have been trying to destroy the B's to take their precious planetary honey reserves, but they have always managed to keep them at bay.

Until now.

Their newest leader, evil Wa'sps Queen Galactica, threatens to overtake the Sacred Hive and the entire B'Universe in one fell swoop. the battle has been ongoing for months, with neither side gaining an advantage but now the Wa'sps have reformed ranks and with boosted numbers, attack the central planet and its castle. The palace under siege, the Queen and Princess can only look on from their holodeck as their brave warriors to battle against a foe they cannot win against.

"We do not have much choice," Queen'B replies, sighing, as yet another squadron is complete annihilated. Her soldier teams are scrambling with the charts, her guardians tense around her. They all work to make sure the central hive is safe, but there is precious little time. "I knew that in my lifetime, such a thing would happen. We must call for them, Tiny Princess B'B'. We must contact the warriors that will be able to wield the ancient weapons and defeat the Wasps once and for all."

"Mother!" The Princess' voice is harsh, frightened, as every hit makes part of the hive's metallic layer threaten to shake off completely and fall on them. "Those are nothing but children's tales! Surely there is no giant spaceship that can house heroes strong enough to defeat them."

"There is my daughter. We must place our faith in the Scrolls of Wax. We must contact...the heroes of prophesy!"

At nearly the same time, Stacy's voice urgently calls certain people to the observation deck.

||| I apologize for not having all of the data, but this call was not only urgent, but specifically called for you. ||

Letting that sink in, she continued, her voice a bit faster than usual. Time seemed to be of the essence.

[Arrival at the Observation Deck]

[beeees]

[seesbosscrotch]

"At last! Activity!" The paladin all but crashed onto the obs deck, fist pumping. "FOR THE SIN'DOREI! FOR AZEROTH!"

[greatergone]

And Kais almost crashed to his bum when he stumbled on the observation deck seeing this display. It took him a couple steps but he kept his balance just barely. Sheesh, other races needed to learn to control themselves.

[antivenger]

M'gann hadn't been planetside except for shore leave before so there was a bit of excitement mixed with her apprehension as she arrived to the Obs Deck, summoned from the Media Library where she had been watching the collection of Tiny Titans episodes.

"Hostile forces waiting huh? Hopefully not TOO hostile..."

[zenithianchosen]

"Regardless how hostile, everyone must be prepared," Sofia replied as she walked in. The zenithian warrior was deck in her usual outfit, the sword hung in the back along with her shield.

"I am admittedly confused as to why they asked for us specifically. How did they know about us?"

[kaya_waterwave]

Kaya, still a little string out after that robot attack, had made sure she was always prepared. The sword, which she normally had at her side, was now on her back, and the ever present waterskin was on her person, the one Billy had gotten her several Christmas's ago.

She was, of course, reading up on the information given, already trying to plot out her choice of fighting style. It would need a little of her BG training, since water was not as abundant, but she was sure she would be able to give aid in a pinch.

"That's a good question," Kaya said, looking up from where she was reading. "Are we becoming famous in other worlds?"

[seesbosscrotch]

"We ought to be!" he said, lifting one armored fist. "I'll take the hits, you guys deal them out!"

[greatergone]

That sounded like a perfectly fine plan to Kais. It was what he normally did, hide behind the meatshields. "I will be sure to follow that plan then."

[antivenger]

"Maybe we are getting a bit of a reputation. Though I can't imagine why I was asked for if they wanted us because of experience. I mean, I've fought crime and supervillians and stuff back at home, but I've never been on a mission from Stacy before."

[poorlycopingstrategist]

"Life's a lot easier if you don't try to figure out why Stacy does what she does." Jamie, clad in a Thorn Armor suit underneath his cargoes and t-shirt, with a pouch of spell components at his waist, couldn't quite hide his nervousness. Being summoned to go down to a planet in the middle of a crisis was pretty standard fare for Stacy's crew, but that didn't mean Jamie had to like it.

[badluckbabe]

Jinx remained silent watching the boys and girls gather and chatter. The beginning of missions always made her a little anxious, but more in a "let's make a good appearance" sort of way. She was skilled, she was clever, and to reveal weakness in front of anyone on the ship was risky to her.

Still she smirked spotting some familiar faces. Finally she spoke up "It's worked out for us so far. Most the missions are a success in one way or another." The odds were in their favor.

[atadiscoverer]

Carson has been mostly staying quiet during all this, having arrived slightly late, before he speaks up to Jinx's comment. "I hope you're right about that."

He looks around. "I'll have to apologise a wee bit in advance, but I'm not a good fighter."

[kaya_waterwave]

She was starting to see the others were arriving, and flashed Jamie a smile before turning to the others, specifically Carson.

"We don't know what we're going to deal with yet, so I wouldn't count anyone out. So far its just answering a distress call, and even if you lack skills, we can lend a hand. It really boils to the severity of those in trouble."

[zenithianchosen]

"Regardless of your fighting skills, it seems that they knew about you. Perhaps there is something here greater than we can understand." Sofia could understand that somewhat. After all, she had been the chosen one in her home world.

Little did she know that such a situation could repeat itself..

"You must have other skills that are useful for this mission correct?"

[greatergone]

"I don't see how anyone could know who I am." He was a face among thousands when it came to his people and he had never done anything that would make him famous.

"Though if you are not a good fighter, I have some spare weapons if they are required..."

[After the Commercial Break, the Action Begins!]

[beeees]

After preparing, the group is sent by spaceship to down to the central planet where the call originated. The voyage itself is done in relative quiet, with the tension building at what they would find and how they knew their names in the first place...

True to the Queen's warning, it is a true battlefield out there. The ship manages to maneuver farther away from the central palace, where the evil Wa'sps are swarming and attacking the B's Giant Palace. Pieces fall off as the thirty or so giant creatures slam themselves in there, the much smaller, humanoid-sized bees no match for the monsters five times their size.

And little do they know that this is just a front line committee. These Wa'sps have been sent to test the B's stronghold. With their low resources with so many months at war, the battle is clearly in their favor. Thankfully, they have the element of surprise. Their ship was not spotted nor were they.

[There is no posting order, but let everyone join in as much as possible]

[zenithianchosen]

As they stepped out, Sofia was already preparing her spells, trying to analyze how many creatures were attacking.

"They're quite large," she whispered to the others. "They have giant fangs, stingers and..." lasers flew in the sky. "...magic?" No Sofia. Guns.

Wa'sps with guns.

"I estimate around twenty." She couldn't see all of them, after all. "I am unsure how many are inside the building, but it seems to be holding so doubtful there are any more. Let us make a proper battle plan as quickly as possible before engaging combat."

[seesbosscrotch]

"I'll draw their fire!" Mar proclaimed as he drew his shield from his back.

[badluckbabe]

"Hold on, just like that?" Jinx rose an eyebrow trying to ignore the symbolism of her being drawn back into a place that reminded her of the HIVE academy. "We're gonna try and fight our way through them to the front door?"

Not that she wasn't sure she could fight, but she'd like to avoid risking her life till necessary.

[kaya_waterwave]

"Jinx's right," Kaya said. "We have to play to our strengths. If some of us are better at drawing fire in, they can be the initial attack. But some of us have different strengths: defense, for instance, and magic that is able to penetrate through their defenses. Let's start by scanning them a moment, and decide who's going where."

They'd have to start with a strategy. If it went to hell, they could plan accordingly from there.

[poorlycopingstrategist]

"I don't think they know we're here yet, so let's use that to our advantage while we can. Form up with the stronger fighters facing out and the more vulnerable people inside the group and let's try to get where we're going without engaging them, if at all possible."

[zenithianchosen]

"I will also be in the front." Sofia stated simply. "I may be able to use my dragon form to draw their fire, much like Maridian will be doing." Only not as a dragon. "There must be another entrance. However, there is an additional risk that other creatures might be trying to get in that way as well. If we risk taking a few of us in the back, this will thin out our numbers here, and risk an ambush."

She looked up at the giant Wa'sps again and unsheathed her sword into the ground.

"Engaging the enemy here seems the most logical idea. We can have a frontal attack by our strongest and let the others help with strategy and coordination."

[antivenger]

"Wait, wait, before we do something we can't take back!" M'gann lifted a hand to call the group's attention. "I know we can fight if we have to but can we see if they're susceptible to telepathy first?"

"If I can connect to their minds I might be able to convince them to believe that we're Wa'sps too, or even that we aren't there at all. We could walk right through them if I do it right. Then we won't have risk getting hurt, or waste our energy in case we can't avoid fighting with them later."

She bit her lip. "I've never manipulated a Wa'sp before but it's worth a try."

[greatergone]

All talk. Kais was a Tau of action and he unslung his Pulse Rifle off his back. With the other free hand, he pulled a largish looking saucer out of a bag and let it float in the air.

"...if that all fails, does anyone need extra protection? I will spare my shield drone to anyone who needs it."

[zenithianchosen]

"What about yourself?" Sofia asked, eying M'gann. "Is this process dangerous for yourself?"
