hit the evil queen right in the right arm. Zonga knew there would not be enough of the formula on the arrow to do much harm to her, so he immediately grabbed another silver tipped arrow, pointed it upward and let it fly free. The Hornet Queen screamed a terrible roar, “YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, CREATURE!” She tried to zoom toward the lab, but her left wing would not move. Zonga looked at Mr. Garman exclaiming, “Look, she is paralyzed!” Dr. Garman nodded in disbelief,  “Yes! Looks like just one half. You know, a wounded creature is twice as dangerous and three times as angry. And her size, how did she grow this big?” Marsha squealed, “Dad, I am so scared!” Turning his attention to his frightened daughter, he guided her kindly. “Marsha, I know, honey. It will be alright. You stay in the door frame. You will be safe from falling debris. Go on, now.” Marsha moved swiftly and quietly to the door frame and squatted down. Suddenly, a burst of light filled the sky. Not only was it Princess Celia in her burst of brilliant orange light, but she had Zeus (her father) and Poseidon (her uncle) with her. The Queen pointed her attention upwards and saw the two Titans with the Princess and immediately, she took flight. She was not near as fast with only one side of her wing working. Keeping a close distance to the evil queen, Poseidon speared his trident at her and caught her right in the small of her back, knocking her to the ground. Zeus, with aim almost as precise as a microscope, hit her with one of his famous lightning bolts. Zonga knew this was his opportunity to finish the evil queen off as she sputtered towards the ground, weakness taking over her body. “Stay here!” Zonga cried out to the group, but Mr. Garman and Marsha followed him outside, finding the Queen on the ground with the Titans and Princess Celia standing over her. Zonga bolted to the evil queen’s head just as she was coming around, waking up out of her attack-induced slumber. “This is for my friends.” Zonga pointed his silver arrow straight at her head, and all he could see was pure evil in her eyes. He pulled the bow back as far as he could, while the Queen struggled to get up. Zonga, speaking confidently and firmly, said one last thing to the weak queen. “You have your favorite drone waiting in Hell for you. I think it is time for you to join her!” Zonga let go of the arrow and the evil Hornet Queen vaporized before him. The booming voice of Zeus echoed through the sky. “Well done, my dear Zonga.” In a burst of light, the Titans disappeared. However, the Princess remained. She rode her brilliant orange light to the ground and everyone hugged her. The Princess began to speak in her whimsical voice. “Our job is not done. No doubt the drones can sense there is something wrong with the hive. My guess is they are on their way here. I would like to get them out of this busy area where humans could get hurt. We should go to Everett Covered Bridge and drive the drones down the river. There should be three left.” She peered around the group, making eye contact with the nervous group. “Zonga,” she said, “Pass the remaining arrows amongst your best hunters. Mr. Garman, please stay behind and tend to the injured. Bev, Zonga, and Marsha, come with me. Grab hold of my staff and you may become a Rider of the Light.” The four warriors gathered around, clutching hold of the Princess' staff and in a burst of light they evaporated into the sky.

Freda and Granny Mabel were waiting at the Everett Covered Bridge. Freda had gathered  as many of her flock as she could. Granny Mabel had also accumulated many supporters from the local beaver dams. As the soldiers waited for the arrival of the signal, they suddenly saw the burst of orange light and covered their eyes. Four creatures cascaded down from the beam of light, shocking all of the gatherers. Zonga let out his wood thrush bird whistle, signaling that the coast was clear, even though there was still a mission to conquer. The Pukwudgie and the Hair Tribes arrived running, with very serious expressions upon their faces. Noticing that they were ready for business, Zonga distributed the light arrows to his top hunters of the tribe, as Princess Celia described to all of the creatures what had happened. Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder rumbled through the sky, revealing the Titan Poseidon, gliding gracefully down from the heavens above. “I forgot my Trident,” he addressed the princess. “I thought I would stick around, in case you needed the additional support.” The princess nodded toward Poseidon as Marsha looked over to Bev. “What a day I have had. Between Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Zeus and Poseidon, I do not think it can get any better than this!” Marsha exclaimed. Bev responded, “Yes! It can get even better. As soon as the other three drones are vaporized.” Nodding in agreement, the pair suddenly turned their heads in the direction of the rest of the crowd. There was that buzzing sound again. The ground shook, bending the nearby trees over from the vibrations. Each of the blue herons took a member of the hunting party of the Pukwudgie on their backs. They flew to the tippy top of the Covered Bridge, awaiting the arrival of the remaining  three minion drones.  The drones crested over Lookout Point and the blue herons were frightened by the sight, taking flight with their riders. They flew downriver so that the drones would chase them. Poseidon scaled a large Pine tree waiting for them to pass and Granny Mabel and her friends had already knocked down a huge number of trees to create a dam in the
