[M&M 3e] Defying the Future IC

[Zelphas]

Nope's arrival is announced by a white daylight brightness as the last light fled the sky--no, wait, that was just all the colors in the park inverting for a split second. As reality resolves, the bees in the air vanish... only to be immediately replaced by more bees, pouring out of the bee-like humanoids without a pause. The creature closest to where Floral was is also missing a large, irregular chunk of papery, curling skin, revealing more hexagonal columns of holes weeping thick, syrupy honey down one side of its featureless face. It doesn't seem to notice the attack much, other than that.

The creature twitches its head unnaturally to one side, causing Floral's acidic spit to pass through the new hole in its visage and splatter, sizzling, to the ground behind it. It raises a clawed hand, and bees pour out from it, filling the space just as Floral flies quickly away. The bees pursue Floral across the park at a slower pace, punching through Ariadne's quick weaving to strike at Floral.

With a silent whisper of wings, the Vesper drifts around Helios' burst of smashing air, keeping itself aloft with barely a wobble. Dozens of bees are smashed to the ground by the air blast, but it had many more. For a moment, the three bee-like creatures are still, glancing one to another with quick judders of their glowing eyes. Then the two unharmed Vespers begin moving. One simply raises its arms, a swarm flowing out of them to rush at Nope in a cloud of angry buzzing and tiny stingers glinting in the fading twilight. The second flies directly towards Ariadne, its left claw-hand extended in an oddly gentle gesture, as though it meant only to touch the thread-weaver's shoulder.
