Burnet had given the order again and again, ordering barrage after barrage at the damn fleet that invaded her hive's lands. Though it was to no avail, as her hornet doom sphere's constant barrage of agonizing stingers was doing nothing against the fleet of nine grass warships. The damn pixie magic had proven itself her bane once again as the elders used some foul magical song to have their warships grow and bend till they had shields above them to block the constant barrage.

Though Bunet could take some joy in the situation that in order to create the shields, they had to remove the grass spikes their warships had been using to slay her undead hornet swarm at an alarming rate. So she was pressing them effectively, if not as effectively as she wanted to be, to have to force them to make such changes, especially as her undead hornet swarm continued to attack them.

Burnet watched through a wax screen while seated at the command chamber within her hornet doom sphere as the battle at the top of the grass sea continued to unfold. She still has a hard time believing it, even if she was looking right at it, that there was a sea made up of grass and pixie magic carrying an entire fleet of grass pixie warships through her home.

Though despite her disbelief, the magic grass sea was real and was an active threat, which allowed Bunet to push through her disbelief with her rage at the pixies invasion fleet atop said magic grass sea that was daring to threaten her ruler and her hive. In fact, to emphasize this point of rage, she ordered another barrage. Not that the hornet doom sphere needed to be ordered; she just felt screaming in rage. "Fire! Bzzz!!!" Bunet roared with venomous rage as another barrage of agonizing stingers was launched from the hornet doom sphere and once again bounced off the grass shielding of the pixies grass warships.

Bunet let out a sighing buzz that the barrage of agonizing stingers had failed once again. Which was to be expected, as none of the previous attacks had made a dent. Why should the one she personally ordered do any better than the rest? The hornet doom sphere was launching on its own. Though as she felt the vibrations of the hornet doom sphere launching another barrage without her orders, she could find she could take solace in the fact the hornet doom sphere showed no signs of doubt.

No, the hornet doom sphere was just as eager and believing in its ability to put the warships of the grass pixie fleet down as when the battle had started despite so many faiee barrages of agonizing stingers. She could feel the hornet doom sphere's eagerness pulsating in every part of it as she sat in its command chair. Bunet took a moment feeling the eagerness to destroy, letting it ease her for a moment.

Then she opened her eyes back up and focused back in on the battlefield and on the intense draw both sides were at. As while her hornet doom sheets barrages weren't piercing the grass warships shields, her undead hornets were fighting them on every space they could get onto. So the pixies weren't having their way entirely. Bunet could take solace in that.

Just as she was thinking of how to press the ships to truly gain some kind of advantage, the pixies performed a magic song once more. The captains, from what she could tell of each ship, were calling forth strange sea creatures from the green sea with their magic song. "While this bzzz will be bzzz fun bzzz." Bunet said with venomous sarcasm as she had to watch more foul pixie magic and wonder what it would do to her and her hive this time, as she didn't think the sea creatures would be the end of it.

Bunet was soon proven right as the captains got on the sea creatures they had called and sang a different song, causing the strange fish they were on to not only become more vicious as spikes grew out of them and their fangs grew twice as long and sharp. The nine captains were all on strange little platforms that dangled from protrusions on the front of the fish's face.

"I'll know bzzz where to aim bzzz." Burnet said with malice before a sudden huge wave formed that missed the nine pixie's grass warships but did hit the nine captains and their strange war fish. So that was why, for a few precious moments, Bunet stared slack-jawed at the giant wave carrying war fish right up to her and her hornet doom sphere that should be far out of reach.

" Damn pixie bzzz magic." Bunet said simply before the doom sphere was hit by the giant grass tidal wave and the war fish inside of it. The hornet doom sphere spun around in the air, the force of the impact causing a dent in its frame and for it to spin uncontrollably before it regained control of itself and began to right itself and repair the damage done by the tidal wave and warfush attack.

Meanwhile, while the hornet doom sphere was doing that, Bunet was picking herself off the ground of the central control chamber. As the force of the sudden hit earlier had forced her from the command chair, the following spin had sent her flying around the room before it had stopped, causing her to crash on the floor. So Bunet got to her feet and made her way quickly over to the command chair. Once there, she looked to the viewing screen to see what exactly was going on outside the hornet doom sphere.

What Bunet saw was the same grass tidal wave coming back around for another pass. "I hate bzzz pixie bzzz magic." Bunet said bitterly as she braced herself on the command chair for the next impact that would send the hornet doom sphere spinning. She was not disappointed as once again the hornet doom sphere was sent spinning, though this time she wasn't sent flying as she was holding onto the command chair for dear life.

The nine elders were commanding their war fish from the platforms that dangled them over the grass sea. It was a dangerous place to be, as one wrong move and they would fall in, and that would be it; the magic of the grass sea would have them, and they would be lost forever. But it was what was required, as they could create grass tidal waves that allowed them to reach the great weapon of their enemy from atop the war fish.

So well they risked much; it was a necessary risk if their battle was to be won and the undead hornets defeated so they could move further into the kingdom of smog. The nine elders swung around once more, having their warfish go for another attack as the doom sphere was still spinning from their last attack. It was difficult to keep the grass tidal wave and their war fish turning so much so that they were constantly sending the doom sphere spinning with another attack.

But they had to keep up the fast pace of their attack, as otherwise the doom sphere may gain its bearing long enough to gain height and be out of their reach. So the nine elders had to maintain a constant attack that kept the doom sphere adjusting to them until eventually it was unable to keep in the sky and fell, signifying the end of the undead hornet swarm.

Bunet had found herself being spun one way or another several times at this point, and she was honestly getting sick of it. "So let's bzzz do something bzzz about it." But said with barely contained rage, not at all appreciating being spun around by the nine captains and their earth fish. Though how she was going to go about it was a difficult question.

Luckily she was undead and not alive, so she could still think. If she had been living, she was pretty sure all the spinning would have her puking her guts out on the control chamber floor. So how to deal with this pest Bunet, though, as the hornet doom sphere was hit once again by the nine captains with their grass tidal wave and their war fish, sending it spinning out of control for a few moments before it readjusted once more.

As Bunet thought on it, she stared into the wax monitor, watching the warfish in the tidal wave as they came for another strike before the spinning would make that a bit difficult for her. Which caused her to have a realization it wasn't the warfish or the tidal wave that was the threat; it was those that controlled them. So Burnet decided to wait for just the right moment before carrying out what she had planned.

So Bunet gave out a few orders to her undead hornets through her necrotic connection to them and then waited for the time to strike. Which she knew would be soon, for the enemy captains were eager to end this battle and continue deeper into her home, but that would not happen under her watch.

The nine captains got faster with their strikes, sending the hornet doom sphere spinning faster out of control with worse damage with each strike. But Bunet waited even as the continued strikes and harsher spinning sent her flying across the room no matter how hard she held on to the command chair. Soon, though, the moment came as it seemed only a few more blows would be required by the captains to finish off the hornet doom sphere, which they could tell, and so they became hurried to end the battle with the undead hornets finally.

Though their rush left them blind and vulnerable, all of a sudden, without any warning, Burnet gave the order, and those few undead hornets who had been waiting above them moved. Then all of a sudden, one by one, the captains, as they were called by Bunet, or the farming pixie elders, as they were called by their kin, were grabbed from the platforms that they had been on.

None of the captains could respond in time, and without them and their magic, the war fish went back into the deep grass sea while the grass tidal wave disappeared. The captains were carried into the hornet doom sphere, where they were then imprisoned in the very walls of the superweapon as it made repairs to itself. Bunet took a moment to enjoy her victory over the captains as the hornet doom sphere made repairs.

Once she had enjoyed her victory over the nine captains, she put her focus back into the melee happening on the nine grass warships below. Burnet wondered how she was going to deal with them as she was still in a bad position with the ships as the grass shields were still holding. Then she looked to the now imprisoned captains and recalled her orders to take the army alive and had an idea.

As Bunet has remembered that the pixies otter used items to focus their accursed magic. So in this case the grass warships were probably what allowed the magical grass sea to exist, especially with the captains out of the action. So with this theory to test, she acted, given the order of having thousands of her undead hornet swarm being constantly created by her hornet dome outpost, go to the sides of each warship and fly up, taking the warships out of the grass sea, and much to Bunet's delight, her theory was correct, as the ships were held aloft and away from the grass sea; the grass sea withered and weakened to nothing, especially as the natural nature of the smog kingdom began pushing back.

So once the grass sea was fully gone, Bunet had her undead hornet lower the grass warships. The grass warships could maintain the magical phenomenon but not create it. As was demonstrated when they didn't create a new magical sea once back on the ground. Bunet watched as smog grass elementals began to spawn nearby and swarm the now-beached grass warships. The crew was quickly being overwhelmed, and Bunet would have them all for the ruler of the hives.

"I am bzzz victorious bzzz," Burnet said with glee, wondering how she should present her captured grass warship prizes to her creator and ruler, Maxwell. As it is not only an important victory but the first one where she had overcome pixieaguc on her own. "Truly, things bzzz are looking bzzz up." Bunet said brimming with glee at the presentation she would give.
