[center][h3][color=92278f]Queen Sectonia[/color][/h3] Level 5 Sectonia (holding 1 level up) - (33/50) +1 Lakeside Word Count: 659 [/center] Sectonia made her way back to the battlefield after relaying her information to Midna. Since she stayed above everything with her flight, she didn't attract as much attention as you'd think from a large colorful bee queen, although this was more because none of the people below could even reach her with their ranged weapons as they all seemed to have weapons much like what Heavy used which were devastating at close range, but ineffective at best at anything beyond midrange. This gave her an idea on how to handle those below, as while they couldn't strike her easily, she could do something to affect them... Much like Sectonia, Tori and Poppi also hovered over the battlefield, although a bit less involved than Sectonia as they seemed to be formulating a plan of action. Sectonia was a bit more preoccupied getting her new minions that might be more than just fodder though to get close enough to hear the pair chat. As she scowered the battlefield, she saw that Heavy and Midna had gotten involved, dealing with stuff themselves. She saw Heavy laying suppressive fire and escourting the others to their mobile fortress, dropping his gun at one point to... point oddly at someone and cause them to take some serious damage from range. Sectonia was, frankly, visibly confused at this. [color=92278f]"I'll need to ask him about that..."[/color] She made note of to herself as she snapped back, watching Midna handle a few as well. Seeing this, Sectonia decided to help her out a bit by casually throwing some of her smaller rings of light at the enemies below. However, it was around this moment she remembered that, defeating these people wouldn't do a thing, they'd just respawn later and keep fighting until Sectonia and her allies escaped or perished. This led her to think for a bit, before coming up with an idea. She watched as the smaller of the mercenaries, a humanoid that swam through the ink they fired on the ground, made their way towards Midna to support their allies. Sectonia, trying her idea, intercepted the inkling by summoning her ice minions, 6 in total, to deal with the mercenary. She gave them instructions to freeze but not kill this creature, then hide the resulting block of ice from their allies. The inkling was quite evasive though, taking on these new challengers without much of a sweat for the most part. While the ink gun they used as their primary weapon didn't seem to do much to Sectonia's minions, only painting them with ink and doing minimal damage, their followup would take care of two of her minions in one explosion with a triangle ink grenade. The 4 that were left, alongside the 2 that had perished meanwhile, were having a difficult time even managing to freeze the inkling as whenever they gusted their ice at the squid, they just jumped into the ink they spread around and almost vanished. This went on for a little bit longer, the inkling managing to kill another minion with s fire cracker type weapon while the minions gained no ground. Sectonia, watching this, got a bit frustrated and gave them the order to freeze the ink itself while one targeted the inkling. This actually lead to some better results, as the inkling dodged one minion, the other two began freezing the ground, leaving no places for the inkling to dive into, and after a bit more skirmishing with one more minion going down to a last ditch paintbrush, the other two minions were successful at freezing the inkling solid. Sectonia sighed as the two minions carried the inkling off to hide it somewhere. [color=92278f]"If I ever need a single color in my castle..."[/color] Sectonia said, saying a joke to herself to get herself to ignore the frustration of how poor her minions preformed there without proper instructions. At least her allies did things properly without being told.
