Ascension of the Monster Queen

\'Do you notice anything around us? \'This is strange,\' Nessa thought.

[No, but something is wrong, you guys are fine, stop, take a deep breath, and focus on your surroundings, maybe you\'ll sense something.]

"Got it," Nessa mumbled as she came to a halt and the others looked at her then she took a deep breath before exhaling deeply, completely ignoring those around her, only focusing on her surroundings.

"What is she doing?" Ian asked.

"I don\'t know, be quiet thought," Yonja responded and Ian sighed as a cold wind brushed against Nessa\'s cheek and she sighed, not being able to find much, but then she decided to focus a bit harder and since the others were mumbling, she wasn\'t able to.

"Please be quiet," She said, and they remained quiet as she focused a little more on what was around her when she heard a buzzing sound that caused her ear to ache a little and she opened her eyes, looking around them.

"Guys, let\'s keep on going, I hear a buzz and I think they are further down within this place, we are going to be facing problems soon, whatever it may be," She said as she walked away, and they followed her.

"Buzzing? Bees?" One of Ian\'s team members asked and she glanced at them then shrugged.

"I don\'t think it\'s bees, if it is then they are pretty big," She responded as they stared at her then sighed.

After a while of walking, they arrived at a broken down part of the dungeon and they climbed off fallen post and huge rocks when Sophia tripped on one and Nessa grabbed onto her arm.

"Are you okay?" Nessa asked.

"Yeah, I am fine, thanks Nessa," She responded.

"You are welcome," She said as Isamu began growling along with Teruo and Nessa glanced at them as they stood before her.

"What\'s wrong with them? Why are they acting like that?" Ian asked.

"That\'s because they sense something approaching us, and if I\'m correct..." She responded, and they exchanged glances as huge creatures flew in, emitting a buzzing sound, and Ian scoffed.

[Those are huge dragon flies, they can breath fire and they move really fast.]

"I see..." Nessa said.

"Those are dragon flies, they are a pain to deal with and I don\'t wish to deal with them right now, looks like we are going to have to get through this fast or we will be their lunch, what times is it?" Yonja asked and Nessa chcukled.

"It\'s near dinner time, idiot," Ian responded as one of the flies were about to attack and he jumped up in the air, slashing its head off with his sword before landing back on his feet and an entire swarm flew in after that.

"Great, these things are fast, dodge and attack as soon as you get a chance, they won\'t waste a second trying to kill you," Yonja said as he took a breath and his eyes began to glow orange, and as they got closer to him, he blew wind at them, sending them flying into the wall and breaking their bodies apart.

"You have wind breath, cool," Nessa said, and he smiled at her before taking a deep breath as the other fought the dragon flies, which were huge and colored blue, orange, and black.

"These things are a pain, they won\'t go away," Sophia said as one was about to attack her and Nesa\'s whip appeared in her hand and she flung it towards the fly, wrapping it around its neck and ripped its head off and Sophia sighed in relief.

"Thanks again, Nessa," She said and Nessa smiled at her.

"It\'s okay, don\'t worry about it, just be careful," Nessa replied.

[Master, you have to get rid of their leader, he is the one with gold and red eyes, you get rid of him and they disappear.]

"Where is he?" She asked as she looked around and as one of them flew towards her, she hit it into a wall with the chain.

"Do you require our assistance?" Isamu mumbled, and Nessa smiled as she looked at him.

"No, it\'s best if I keep your abilities hidden for the time being; I\'m not going to use you guys just yet," He bowed his head as she hid behind a pillar, looking for the leader of them, while the others continued to fight their way past them.

"Nessa, look out, they are coming for you," Ian said and Nessa looked at the few that were coming towards her and she gnashed her teeth and took a deep breath, lifting her right hand up and placed it before her lip, then blew fire on them, causing them to screech in pain as they turned to ashes and fell to the floor.

"I am getting tired of these things," Someone said before shooting water Nessa\'s way  to get rid of more of the creatures and she jumped as she turned around and saw it was Ian\'s best friend and the girl smiled at her.

"I am sorry, they are just getting in my way and they are coming by the bunch, not giving you a chance," She complained and Nessa chuckled.

"I understand how you feel, do me a favor guys, while fighting them, look out for their leader, kill him and they are all gone," Nessa said and they smiled.

"That\'s good to know, now, guys, let\'s kill these things together and keep on going forward, I am starting to get hungry as well and this is irritating," Ian replied and Yonja sighed.

"Stop talking, you are more annoying than these bugs," Yonja said, and Nessa chuckled as Isamu sighed. Nessa turned to face them when she began hearing a buzzing sound and looked past the swarm of flies when she noticed their leader, looking at them from above was noticeably larger than the others.
