All Hail The Butter Ant Queen

 The earth explodes upward as something bursts out of the ground, pushing Toby and the others away instantly. The enormous body of the giant Butter Ant crawls out of the rubble, revealing itself fully.

[Quest Penalty: Pain, Suffering, Possibly Death]

Toby Robinson: That's reassuring. (Toby thought after reading the penalty)... Is everyone okay?! (Toby asks)

 Toby and his Dream Beings were split up by the arrival of the Butter Ant Queen, and now they were all surrounded by swarms of ants.

Toby Robinson: Inspect. (Toby says as he looks around, readying himself for this fight)

[Inspect]

[Name: Butter Ant Soldier]

[Level: Normal Grade Dream Being]

[Skills: Crushing Bite]

[Name: Butter Ant Drone]

[Race: Beast Type Dream Being]

[Level: Normal Grade Dream Being]

[Skills: Venom Spray]

 The Butter Ant soldiers were surrounding them on the ground, while the Drones buzz in the air, ready to attack at any moment.

Toby Robinson: Is everyone okay?! (Toby asks, spotting his scattered Dream Beings)

Prince Charming: Couldn't be better, My Lord! (Charming replies, his steel sword and shield steady in his hands)

Browny: "Roar!!!" (Browny sounded as he rears up, ready to leap into battle)

Noble: "Neigh!!!" (Noble sounded as he stomps his hooves on the ground, a puff of smoke escaping from his nostrils)

Prince Charming: We are all ready to fight! All you have to do is say the word. (Charming says with a smile)

Toby Robinson: Alright then... Attack! (Toby yells as he quickly rushes forward, leaping off an ant and rising into the air)... Activate Majestic Stomp! (Toby bellows before he desends down in a flash, heading towards a small group of Butter Ant Soldiers)

[Majestic Speed Activated]

 Toby lands on an ant with enough force to push many others back, his shoes now glowing white with majestic energy.

Toby Robinson: Dream Sword! Dream Shield! (Toby yells as he quickly summons his weapons)... Take them down guys! (Toby commands as he moves fast, quickly cutting down the ants in his way)

 Prince Charming leaps into battle, his skill with a blade evident by the way he is decimating scores of ants. The Butter Ant Drones fly in to attack, spraying a yellowish liquid from their stingers.

 Prince Charming raises his steel shield, blocking the liquid before it can even touch him. And what happens next surprises Charming.

Prince Charming: Acid! They have acid! (Charming yells after watching the yellow substance sizzle and steam on his shield)... Don't get hit by the ones that fly, they spray acid! (Charming warns everyone)

 Toby blocks the venom spray from several Drones, now wary of the attack.

Toby Robinson: So that's what venom can do, good to know. (Toby says as he removes the venom off his shield)... This is what I can do. (Toby says as his eyes begin to burn blue)... Dream Beam! (Toby yells as he fires out his dream beams, aiming to hit the Drones in the air)

[-22 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 1522 Dream Points]

 The Drones move incredibly fast, and the dream beams could only hit about two of them, and that was even by pure luck.

 While Toby is distracted with firing his dream beams, a Butter Ant Soldier is able to approach him from the side, and it bites his leg with it's enormous mandibles.

 Pain courses through Toby's body as he screams in agony, looking down at the ant that was biting him, and therefore destroying it with the still firing dream beams. But the damage has been done.

[-35HP]

[65/100HP]

Toby falls to the ground, clutching at his injured leg. The leg was now bleeding blue blood, and hurt like hell.

[You Have Been Greatly Injured]

[Your Health Will Slowly Decrease By -5HP Until You Heal]

Toby Robinson: Damn it! Heal!!! (Toby yells in pain, using his heal to repair the damage to his leg)

[-35 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 1487 Dream Points]

[100/100HP]

 Toby's leg is healed almost instantly, and then he is able to get up from the ground. Just in time to see a swarm of ants heading towards him.

[Browny Has Activated His Terror Charge]

[Browny Has Activated His Terror Claws]

 Browny leaps into the air, landing in front of Toby and then lashing out at his attackers. Browny's claws cut down the ants with ease, none of them even standing a chance against the bear's ferocity.

Browny: "Roar!!!" (Browny roars as he stood his ground, still protecting Toby from the ants)

Toby Robinson: Thanks, Browny... I'll take it from here. (Toby tells him, stepping forward to confront the ants)

 Several butter ant drones set their sights on Toby, firing at him with their venom spray, but Toby is now ready for them.

Toby Robinson: Activate Royal Strength and Terror Charge! (Toby yells out, his body mixing with red and blue energies)

[Royal Strength Activated]

[Terror Charge Activated]

 The venom spray moves quickly towards Toby, about to bathe the teenager in the acidic substance. But before that could happen Toby's eyes turn red, and two words escape from his lips.

 "Dream Beam!!!" (Toby bellows as he fires his dream beams, the power of terror energy amplifying them so much that the Drones are vaporized in an instant, their venom blasted away from his sight)

[-21 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 1466 Dream Points]

 The terror charged dream beams were still active, so Toby spins around, blasting as many of the Drones as he can with the power he has left.

 The dream beams eventually run out of juice, but Toby was still powered up by terror energy, and added with Charming's Royal Strength, he leaps into the fight, crushing and stomping the ants with just his feet and fists.

Toby Robinson: Come on! Try and bite me! (Toby yells as he swings his fists, knocking away multiple ants with his superhuman strength)... (Huff*Huff*Huff) Calm down, Toby. Don't let the power control you. Control the power! (Toby tells himself, trying to remain calm)

 When using the Terror Charge skill, Toby's emotions are elevated, making him lose his sense of self. But he is not a beast, and shouldn't surrender himself to anger and rage, a swordsman must be calm and collected, that is what Charming taught him.

[Majestic Speed Deactivated]

Toby Robinson: I need to end this fight right now, before I lose the rest of my skills. I need to defeat the Butter Ant Queen. (Toby thought before rushing forward, finally attacking the Butter Ant Queen)... Dream Beam! (Toby yells as he stops his dash, blasting at the Queen with his terror charged dream beams)

[-20 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 1446 Dream Points]

 The Butter Ant Queen doesn't run or even try to avoid the attack, she takes the beams straight to the chest, their incredible power ripping her enormous body in two.

Toby Robinson: I did it! (Toby yells with glee, happy with his victory)

 The ants don't take the death of their Queen lightly, they Intensify their attacks, swarming and attacking Toby and his Dream Beings more fiercely.

Toby Robinson: Dream Sword! Dream Shield! (Toby yells as he summons his weapons, cutting down as many of the ants as he can)... I don't get it, I've defeated their Queen. Why are they still fighting? Why have I not received the quest completed message yet? (Toby pondered as he fought the ants, but was still getting overwhelmed by their sheer numbers)

[-25HP]

[-20HP]

[-35HP]

[20/100HP]

Toby Robinson: Aaaaaah!!! (Toby yells in pain from the multiple ants biting his body simultaneously)... Dream Beam!!! (Toby bellows as he blasts away the ants that were biting him, but he was now bleeding all over, his body covered in blue blood)

 Prince Charming, Noble and Browny are fighting the ants as hard as the can, but their situation is no different from Toby.

[Prince Charming Has Been Injured]

[Browny Has Been Injured]

[Noble Has Been Injured]

[You Have Been Greatly Injured]

[Your Health Will Slowly Decrease By -5HP Until You Heal]

[Terror Charge Deactivated]

[Royal Strength Deactivated]

Toby Robinson: Tamed Summoning! (Toby yells out, summoning all of his Dream Beings into his body)... We can't win this fight, there are just too many of them. (Toby thought to himself)... (Sighs) Time to go. (Toby says as he streches out his hand, ready to create a Dream Door and escape from this Domain)

 But just then all of the ants stop attacking, now staring back at the fallen body of their Queen. The lifeless body shakes and shifts, and soon a flying insect bursts out of it. It's body golden in colour.

Toby Robinson: What the... Inspect. (Toby weakly said)

[Inspect]

[Skills: Queen's Command]

Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) I should have known... High Grades are just full of surprises. (Toby says with a smile, his raised hand dropping)

 The Butter Ant Queen then releases chemical pheromones from her body, and almost instantly the ants resume their attack on Toby, their actions obviously dictated by the Queen)

Toby Robinson: Guess I can't leave just yet. Not without trying to blast that drone out of the sky. (Toby thought with a smile)... Hea... (Toby is about to heal himself, but a message from the system stops him)

Toby Robinson: Let's do this! (Toby yells as he happily leaps into battle, his body now burning bright with multiple energies)
