Moon POV:

"Are we sure that everyone from Hornet, Mantis, Cicada, Vinegaroon and Tsetse Hive has evacuated?" Moon asked.

"Yeah. We did the best we can." Swordtail told her.

"So now we evacuate to Yellowjacket or Jewel Hive. Not Wasp Hive, no, Queen Wasp is there." Blue added with a slight shudder. Moon couldn't blame him. From all the stories the SilkWings and Cricket and Sundew had told them, the HiveWing/SilkWing queen really seemed to be the great evil from her prophecy.

Except Clearsight says she isn't the only one. 

Which Moon found really, really terrifying.

Their group (Cricket, Sundew, Blue, Luna, Swordtail, Moon, Qibli, Kinkajou and Winter) flew off to Jewel Hive, staying off the web bridges connecting them to Wasp Hive. Yes, they were trying to hide. No, it would not be likely to work. Even if Sundew was hidden as not to attract the group, and Kinkajou made herself invisible, Moon, Qibli, and Winter were shining (or at least Winter) were shining like a beacon.

"That small planet, it's getting so much closer!" Cricket cried, flaring her wings in alarm while flying (if that was possible) and nearly knocking Moon out of the sky.

"We won't be damaged, surely. We're so much bigger! They'll probably crash into our oceans." Winter said. "No reason to worry."

"We're not so sure about that! What if the explosion is big? Our Hives will be destroyed!" Cricket countered.

". . . Explosion?" Kinkajou asked.

"Yeah. It can be that bad."

"What's an explosion?" Kinkajou asked.

"Do we know if the SeaWings have evacuated?" Qibli asked.

"I hope so." Moon said, worried.

"Hey, I'm being ignored again!" Kinkajou said grumpily.

"You don't want to see an explosion, is all," Sundew said. "There will be fire. Most likely."

Kinkajou blanched. "Fire?"

"We should probably go inside!" Luna yelled from the other side of the roof of Jewel Hive. "If there's really going to be an explosion—"

"No!" Sundew yelled back, "I'm watching this!"

"Why? We'll die!" Sundew shot her a look. "But! We can totally see how this works! I'm with Sundew! As long as we don't die! I'll take a page out of Swordtail's book and hide behind Sundew! Right? Can I do that? Pleeease? I really really want to see the scavengers!" Cricket gasped. "No! What if they die? Sundew, what if they dieeeee?" she wailed, gripping Sundew's forearm. 

Moon blinked in surprise. Sundew rolled her eyes like, Welcome to my world

"G-guys?" Blue asked in a small voice. "I don't think we have time to debate. The planet is coming."

And all they could do was watch.
