Chapter List

Hive 5.9 is the ninth chapter of Hive. Lung fights E88, Sundancer makes a sun and Kaiser stabs Lung, Lung gets back up and Skitter puts him down.

Plot

Kaiser tries to kill Lung to the objection of Skitter, he pierces the dragon man's chest and seems to kill him. Lung gets up and knocks Kaiser aside. He disables Menja as well to the anguish of Fenja.

Sundancer steps up and unveils a devastating sun that melts everything around her. It is able to set Lung back but the dragon-man adapts.

Skitter finally steps up, wielding her knife to intentionally provoke Lung. He picks her up with his gigantic hand possibly intending to crush her.

Skitter is able to take Lung down thanks to some help from an unconscious and unwitting Newter. She uses a bug to wipe up a bit of his hallucinogenic blood and then has another bug fly a bit of it into Lung's eyes. This lets the blood directly affect Lung's brain, taking him down.

Skitter tells the collapsing Lung not to underestimate her. She calls Tattletale to confirm Lung's regenerative abilities, then cuts out his eyes. As Fenja leaves with the wounded Kaiser and Menja in tow, Taylor points out that Kaiser might want to consider the Undersiders' debt to him paid.

Major Events

• Lung defeats Kaiser.
• Taylor takes down Lung, for a second time technically.

Trivia

• Drugs are not known to effect the nervous system as fast as they are here. This likely points to Newters hallucinogen being an exotic molecule of some kind.
