Story[]
The pups are taking a stroll through a field in Great Britain. A British she-pup is leading the way.
Everest : So, Rorke's Drift was a battle to be proud of?
British Pup : Why yes. Those men were the bravest in the British Army and deserved the Victoria Cross.
Britannic : I love serving in the medical corps. I heard the patients in the hospital literally fought their way out. (tail wags) So brave.
Olympic : Not as brave as serving as a troop ship. Those men are braver than honeybees.
Hawkeye : Speaking of which, here comes one now. (to the British she-pup) No worries, Clara, their sting ain't the most painful.
Clara : Have you see the Giant Japanese Hornets flying around? They're the ones I'm afraid of.
The Honeybee lands on Rubble's nose.
Rubble : (shuddering) It's not a spider. It's not a spider!
Honeybee : Please, help me.
Clara : A talking honeybee? I've never seen such a thing.
Hawkeye : Nor have I seen a queen outside the hive.
Rubble : Are you going to sting me, your highness?
Queen Bee : Firstly, no. Secondly, I don't control the hive. All I do is lay eggs. Why do you outsiders think that?
Hawkeye : It's just how the workers treat the queen. What would you like us to call you?
Queen Bee : I don't know.
Marshall : How about Joey?
Titanic : That's a boys' name.
Britannic : What about Mary?
Queen Bee : I have no problem with that.
Chase : Wait a minute... You said you need help?
Mary : Yes. My colony is gone. Giant hornets bigger than any I've ever seen before tore it apart. I was lucky to escape. I'm not sure any of the workers or drones made it out.
Marshall : Drones?
Hawkeye : They're male honeybees. There are only a few hundred of them, nothing compared to the tens of thousands of workers which are the non-reproductive females.
Tracker : Sounds like quite the party!
Mary : The workers can't reproduce. That's my job.
Tracker : (tail down) awww.
Marshall : How many hornets were there?
Mary : One of the guards said she saw 30. We only downed 5.
Rocky : I may not be a biologist, but I don't think you know how to fight Giant Japanese Hornets.
Mary : To be honest, we had no idea how to fight them. We didn't even know they existed until they attacked.
A buzzing sound is heard. Mary starts to panic.
Mary : (shrieks as she flies behind Everest) Are they back? Please tell me they're not back!
Hawkeye : That's not hornet buzzing.
Clara : Sounds more like honeybee buzzing.
A few dozen bees emerge from the grass. Mary is relieved.
Bee 1 : Allmother!
Mary : They are safe! (flies to the other bees and is surprised by how few the are) Are you all that made it?
Guard 1 : Affirmative. We're the only survivors.
Mary : (frantic) Are the larvae safe?
Guard 1 : We couldn't save them, but we did save a few of our drones.
Drone 1 : (in a panic-like tone) You have not lived until you saw the jaws of death just barely miss your face as I did.
Guard 1 : (to the pups) He likes to boast about his travels.
Olympic : Does he now?
Titanic : I don't think the boys are allowed to leave the hive.
Drone 1 : We are forced out when winter comes. Thank my life it's spring and I'm not mating.
Hawkeye : Drones die after mating.
Britannic : (tail down) That's sad.
Drone 1 : Such is our lives.
Titanic : Why didn't you just abandon hive?
Worker 5 : Why would we do that?
Titanic : Well, you don't know how to fight the hornets.
Hawkeye : I know honeybees who do.
Mary : (hopeful) Really?
Hawkeye : Yes. They're native Japanese Honeybees.
Guard 1 : (confused) Japanese honeybees? What do we want with them?
Hawkeye : They have a special way of dealing with Giant Japanese Hornets.
Rocky : How do they do that?
Chase : We may have to go to one of their hives to find out.
Hawkeye : Alright, then let's go.
Scene changes with Chase's badge. The pups are now at a tree with bees flying all aroung it. Mary is concerned.
Guard 1 : Maybe this was a bad idea.
Mary : This wasn't my idea.
Titanic : It should be worth a shot though.
Mary : If it isn't, I'll pay with my life for it.
Hawkeye : Bees from other hives will kill a queen from another hive if they get in.
Olympic : But she needs their help. She has to ask.
Mary : (gulps) Wish me luck. (flies into the hive)
