Massive.

That was the first word that popped out in Shira's head.

Mega, hyper, super, INCREDIBLY massive.

Those were the next few words that followed.

Shira was no stranger to large beings. Wyverns were large. The biggest ones stood at an impressive tens of meters tall. The mechas were large. The biggest ones stood at almost a hundred meters too.

But these newcomers. They came and simply blasted the meaning of large in Shira's mind into tiny little pieces.

BOOM!

You think that hundred meter tall mechas were large? Think again.

The first Bumblebee was at least one kilometer tall. It was as big as a mountain! It's hard to visualize a one kilometer tall mecha. But it was safe to say that Shira and the girls were completely overwhelmed.

"What in the world…" Shira breathed in wonder.

"That's really big…" Kan-Dari gulped.

"Don't worry girls, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Let's make sure they fall, shall we? Plus, they are so large, they are probably very slo-"

"WATCH OUT!!" Flamewing shouted.

B O O O O O O M M M ! ! ! ! !

A massive foot smashed down on them. Flamewing barely managed to cast a powerful golden barrier around them which thankfully held out fine against the Bumblebee's stomp.

"They are not slow at all! They are FAST!! They are very very fast!" Kan-Dari screamed in panic.

Alexander glanced at Liz'An who understood his intention immediately.

Liz'An leapt nimbly onto Princess Yellow and gripped Kan-Dari's shoulder gently but firmly. "Dari." She said in a calm voice. "Look at me."

"Y-Yes?" Kan-Dari's heart was still pounding madly.

"They're big and fast. But we are stronger. We will hammer it into the ground and smash it into pieces. We will rip them apart, piece by piece, and use them as material to build our cities. You are stronger than them. You are much, much stronger than them. Okay? Just imagine them as big, fat apes. So don't worry. And just do your thing." Liz'An said. It was probably the longest speech she had ever made in one go.

"Okay… Okay…" Kan-Dari said, her voice still shaking slightly.

"Besides, it's really good practice for us. And we get to show off to Mistress that we are able to take down that massive atrocity easily with our new powers!" Shira chipped in.

"That's right. Girls, remember this. The most important thing to do during a hard battle is to remain calm." Alexander said amid loud BOOMS as the first Bumblebee continued to stomp on them.

"Alexander, my barrier won't last for much longer." Flamewing said softly in private.

Alexander nodded slightly. He glanced out into the distance and immediately noticed that the eighty thousand mechas had broken their defensive formation and were beginning to disperse in all directions. Some were flying towards them, while a vast majority were simply diving down towards the ground.

"It's time to get serious." Alexander decided. The girls had experienced enough for the day.

"Signal the rest to start phase two of our defense plan." Alexander instructed Flamewing.

With a thought, a pre-arranged magical seal behind them exploded and painted the sky around it bright red.

"Bring the girls and destroy as many mechas as you can. I will deal with the big guys." Alexander instructed Flamewing once more.

Alexander released his power over space and slowly, he began to rise.

Whoosh!

A golden barrier formed around him.

Flamewing quickly led the girls away from Alexander and the Bumblebee, and made for the other mechas.

Alexander took a deep breath and spread his hands out. A surge of powerful and unique energy erupted from him and caused the sky to darken slightly.

"You want to go big? I'll show you what's big." Alexander chuckled to himself.

VRROOOSH!!!!!!

Even more energy burst forth from Alexander. This time, the energy was so dense and powerful that it took form.

A massive black dragon as large as the Bumblebee slowly came to be around Alexander.

ROAARRRR!!!!!!!!!

The black dragon let out a high pitched reptilian roar at the Bumblebee.

WEEEEEE!!! BOOOOM!!!!

The Bumblebee charged a massive hand cannon quickly and fired at the black dragon.

However, the energy beam smashed into the invisible barrier and exploded upon impact.

Undeterred by its failure, the Bumblebee kept firing its massive hand cannon at the dragon. In addition, countless hatches opened from around its body and released hundreds of missiles.

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOMMM!!!!!

Extremely loud explosions filled the air as technology clashed with magic in a head to head battle.

GRAAAAAHHHH!!!!

The black dragon roared in anger as it dimmed slightly, its power partially consumed by the incredible missile and energy beam bombardment.

However, Alexander's favorite motto was "The best offense is defense." So immediately he opened the dragon's maw wide and fired a horrifying energy beam at the Bumblebee.

Magical energy was a type of energy, and so it was not an attack that Symphonia had never seen before. However, within the black dragon's energy attack contained two other forms of energy which were not in Symphonia's database at all.

The Power of Perses and the Power of Zegaro.

Alexander's energy attack ripped through the giant Bumblebee's defenses and burned a hole clean through its chest.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

Two utterly and disgustingly massive energy beams suddenly burst through the clouds and struck the black dragon's body.

Immediately, the black dragon dimmed even further. Alexander coughed slightly as he felt the tremendous power of the energy beams reverberate through his body. He glanced up and saw two more equally massive Bumblebees descend from the clouds.

"Gotcha." Alexander whispered with a sinister smile.

A hundred thousand large mechas could be released from a few motherships. Even a Bumblebee could be released from a mothership. But three Bumblebees? And possibly a few more to come? The main mothership must be somewhere nearby.

And Alexander, being Alexander the Great, had a very fearsome habit which his enemies feared.

Cut off the head of the snake.

Ah yes. Alexander had been on the lookout for indications and clues on the whereabouts of the enemy Starship. The captain he 'interrogated' had only told him that the Queen Bee strategy involved at least a hundred thousand mechas. He didn't know where these mechas would be deployed from.

With the arrival of so many earthshakingly large Bumblebees, there was a good chance that the Starship was nearby and within Alexander's striking distance.

Plus, if he made enough ruckus up there in the enemy's main base, he might even get them to withdraw their troops. That would truly be the best defense.

"Flamewing, I am going for the Starship." Alexander said internally.

"I still think I should go with you." Flamewing replied grumpily.

"Don't worry. I'll be totally fine. They don't have anything to defend against Scion Lords, much less a Tri-God Scion like me." Alexander chuckled.

"Scion KING. It's Scion KING!!" Flamewing said. "Alright, be safe and don't take too many risks."

BOOM!! BOOM!!! BOOM!! The three Bumblebees began attacking the black dragon in concert. They may be huge behemoths, but they had impeccable coordination.

Punches, kicks and close-range energy beams landed mercilessly upon the dragon one after the other. The dragon snapped with its powerful jaws and slashed with its claws, and fired back with its own energy beams which burned holes through the Bumblebees wherever it struck. However, it was growing dimmer by the second, and the time it took to recover from each energy beam took longer and longer.

By all appearances, the black dragon was on the brink of defeat.

"Sir, our mechas are experiencing fierce resistance on the ground. The enemies wield magical energies far above our anti-magic shields' power ratings. We have seventy eight thousand three hundred forty mechas remaining." An aide reported to Prince Jolto.

Prince Jolto frowned slightly and glanced at the Bumblebees who were ganging up on the massive black dragon which had appeared very suddenly and caused them to lose their meat shield. Judging from how weak the black dragon seemed to be, they were about done.

However, just as he was about to give instructions, another aide's voice sounded urgently in his ears.

"Sir! We just lost Princess Jenny's mecha signal!" The aide reported urgently.

"WHAT?!!" Prince Jolto shouted. Losing a mecha's signal could mean several things. The mecha might be in a space which cut off all communication, or the mecha might have its communication component damaged. But they were extremely rare cases. The most common case by far was simply - destruction. The mecha got destroyed by the enemy causing all signals and communication to be lost with it.

"Contact her three bodyguards! What's happening out there?!" Prince Jolto shouted.

"Sir, we are unable to communicate with the three bodyguards, or any of the three thousand mechas assigned to guard her!" The aide reported. "This is the coordinates of her last known position - three miles west of the City called Rin."

"All units! Advance to this coordinate and rescue the Princess! At all costs!" Prince Jolto shouted.

This was turning out to be a really, really bad day.
