The man with the dragonfly wings zoomed towards Mother Wasp, the appendages on his back flapping with a buzz. On his hands were two metal wrists blades attached to a forearm sleeve which he used to wildly swing at his target.

Mother Wasp barely dodged another slice, wincing as her dress was cut and a red line was left on her skin. Bees swarmed the man, only for him to fly away from them quicker than they could attack him.

Those dragonfly wings were allowing him to fly in an erratic, zig-zag like pattern that couldn't be predicted and could barely be followed. I pulled out my pistol, trying to see if I could land a shot on him.

He's too fast. And if I try shooting I have a risk of hitting Mother Wasp. I'm just going to have to sneak up on him.

Mother Wasp continued to dodge as I crouched down and quickly made my way over, trying to be as quiet and small as possible. He flew all around, too focused on Mother Wasp to notice me. Now all I need to do is find a time to strike...

And then I saw him zoom towards the floor, near enough. Perfect!

He tried to move again, only for me to jump on his back. I tried to stab him in the neck with my switchblade only for my weapon to be swatted to the side.

He grabbed me, throwing me over his head and onto the ground. He looked back up to see Mother Wasp's fist connect with his face, sending him stumbling backwards.

He reoriented himself, tilting his head at us with a maniacal grin across her face. He flew towards Mother Wasp once again. She dodged, connecting a punch to his stomach. With another missed swing from the dragonfly man she connected another punch to the head.

He cackled, swinging at her once again. This time when she threw another punch he was ready, catching her fist. He quickly swung his leg, sweeping her off of her feet and slamming her into the ground. Before she could retaliate he stabbed one of his blades into her side, making her gasp.

A bang rang out as a bullet lodged itself into his shoulder. He roared in pain, pulling the blade out as he stumbled backwards. I shot once again only for him to take off once more, moving too quickly for me to hit him again.

"Hey asshole, looking for this?" I reholstered the pistol, waving around the usb with my other hand.

He immediately changed direction to straight at me.

Oh shit!

I pocketed the usb, gripping my switchblade that I had picked up again. I barely dodged as he passed by, grabbing onto the back of his clothes. I was carried with his force, hanging onto his back as I was suddenly flown around.

I stabbed the knife into his back, getting a scream in pain as he tried to shake me off. I gripped onto the knife, trying my damned best to not slip off and break a leg.

Mother Wasp stood up, clutching her side. She grit her teeth, giving out a short whistle. More and more wasps and bees started to flood into the room, all surrounding her.

I could barely tell what was going on as I desperately grabbed at the dragonfly man to keep myself hanging onto him. Before I knew it Mother Wasp and her cluster of bees and wasps burst through the ceiling with us shortly following.

"My masquerade mask!" I yelled as it flew off of my face from all of the sudden turning, flying away. "Damn it, it looked awesome!"

I grabbed at the the man's face, struggling to take control of this crazy ride I somehow found myself on. I looked over to the cluster of bees, only to gasp as I realized they had morphed into the shape of a giant human.

"Alright buddy, playtime is over!" I said, gripping at his face with both of my hands. "You're getting grounded!"

I stabbed my fingers into his eyes, causing him to scream and start descending downwards as he didn't know where to go. I held onto his back, trying to use him to cushion my fall as we slammed into the ground.

We hit the ground hard, my vision going sideways, upside down, and then finally righting itself. I groaned, standing up and off of the downed and dazed dragonfly man.

"Will..?" A voice spoke. "..Is that you?"

My eyes widened as I looked up. Standing a few feet away from me was the leader of the Cromwell Mafia Family himself, Don Clyde, stared at me with a surprised look.

And that's when I realized the horrible truth.

I was unmasked.

"Long time no see...?" I nervously chuckled.

I should've known I couldn't escape.

I quickly took in my surroundings. I was standing in front of the entrance to the building of the masquerade party, and standing in front of me were the few people who hadn't completely bailed. They must've been waiting out here for the authorities or heroes to arrive or something.

And standing next to Don Clyde was the man himself, Killian Stromford. He stared me in the eyes, and for once his stoic and calm look changed.

A recognizing look crossed his eyes as a frightening grin grew upon his face.

He recognizes me.

Somehow, he knows me.

My time is up.

I was suddenly picked up, the surroundings becoming a blur as the person took to the skies and quickly flew away.

"Master, take this." Sophie held me over her shoulder, handing me a ski mask.

"Sophie, have I ever told you that you're the best?" I grinned, pulling the ski mask over my face and once more concealing my identity.

It's too late.

"Stellar is here." Sophie stated.

We stopped flying, looking at the building in the distance. It seemed like Stellar got preoccupied with fighting Mother Wasp. She was having trouble getting to the center of the bees, where Mother Wasp controlled them. If we turned tail right now, we could escape.

A helicopter flew from the sky, a ladder flying down as the Killian, Don Cromwell, and the few other important people climbed up it and into the helicopter.

They're escaping. We failed.

We should go...

...to hell with that.

"We're getting us and Mother Wasp out of here." I stated. "Distract Stellar and chuck me at Mother Wasp."

"Understood, Master." Sophie nodded.

We flew back towards the fight, Sophie adjusting her body before sending me flying forwards towards the center of the bees where Mother Wasp laid.

Sophie slammed into Stellar, sending the two of them flying into the ground. As I approached the center of the cluster of bees they started to move, allowing me to pass right through and slam into Mother Wasp.

She caught me, pressing my head against her chest as she looked at me in confusion.

"We gotta get out of here." I looked up at her. "Killian already escaped. Only Stellar is here now, and soon more will come."

"Damn it." Mother Wasp muttered, wincing in pain.

"You can get him next time." I stated. "You're injured. Sophie's going to get you out of here."

Shh, let's ignore the fact my shoulder got stabbed earlier for the moment.

"You have a plan, my worker wasp." Mother Wasp noted, a painful smile on her face. "I'll put my faith in you."

I nodded.

The bees floated me back all the way down to the ground as the giant human started to dissolve. I know Sophie heard what I said, and just as I expected Sophie abandoned the fight with Stellar to go grab Mother Wasp.

I quickly ran to the front of the building and found the unconscious dragonfly man. I grabbed the forearm sleeves with the attached retractable blades, taking them off of him and putting them on myself. I then rolled him over and slapped at his face, trying to wake him back up.

His eyes opened, staring at me with eyes filled with rage and a smile that screamed psycho.

"Ski Mask!" Stellar declared, standing on the roof of the building.

"Oh, hello there-!" I laughed as the dragonfly man suddenly sped off, flying zig-zaggedly through the air as I held onto him. Stellar immediately blasted after us.

We flew through the city, me holding onto this dragonfly man for dear life as Stellar followed us surprisingly well. Seems like shaking her off won't be as easy.

"Sophie, are you ready to come back?!" I yelled as my grip started to slip.

"On my way Master." Sophie's voice answered from the earpiece.

"Perfect!" I grinned. I swiped with one of the wrist blades I stole, cutting clean through the base of the dragonfly wing.

He screamed in pain as we immediately started to drop. I jumped off of him, free falling in the air before I was suddenly caught.

By Stellar! She held me up in a bridal carry, floating in the air as the man with the dragonfly wing continued to fall.

"Thanks for the save, beautiful." I grinned. "But I have a ride to catch and you have a man to save!"

I swiped at her face with the wrist blades, forcing her to drop me in order to avoid getting a deep cut on her face.

I crossed my arms behind my head as I fell, trusting that she would make it in time.

"See you next time, Stellar!" I laughed.

I was caught once more by Sophie as we sped away. I watched as in the distance Stellar went to catch the man and save him from certain death. But as a result, we were home free once more.

"Thanks for the assist, Sophie." I smiled.

"It is my duty, Master." She stated. "Did I do good?"

"You did amazing." I replied. I reached up, lightly patting her head. Does a robot even enjoy this?

She didn't display any reactions other than a low hum of what I'm going to assume is approval.

We flew all the way back to the apartment, quickly making our way inside before getting seen. Laying on the bed was Mother Wasp, whose stomach had been bandaged. She looked up, seeing us and giving a small smile.

Well, all wells that ends well-

I felt myself stumble forwards involuntarily.

"Master?" Sophie questioned, catching me. She stared at me intently, probably scanning me. "You are injured. You didn't tell me." She concluded.

She quickly removed my tuxedo, tie, and undershirt, revealing the gash in my shoulder from where I had been stabbed.

Sophie quickly treated the wound before then bandaging it up. I groaned, knowing that was going to hurt like a bitch the next morning.

"As much as I'd love to continue ogling your body..." Mother Wasp smirked, before her face became serious. "...I owe you an explanation, I feel. Especially since I wish to continue to have your employment."

And with those words, Mother Wasp started the explanation of everything.
