N0X is preparing for the second match of this 20th season of Alliance Conquest, an event favored by all, which requires teamwork and strategy to succeed. After weeks of preparation and yearning for the season to start, N0X faced a harsh first match against RRH, which lowered the excited spirit for the start of the season. Having gained several new members and incorporated new strategies into the alliance’s gameplay, we still had many kinks left to work out in order to be operating smoothly. The first match hadn’t allowed much opportunity for stretching the team’s muscles, but match two approached with a better suited pairing. 

To aid in raising the spirits, N0X had also received a guest to play these forthcoming battles with them. Grombold, lured with the promise of cookies, had agreed to lend his spears to N0X. When it was revealed N0X would face MBL for the second match, there was resolve to prepare to the best of our abilities. Though we would stand a much better chance on this battlefield than the first match, we could not underestimate our opponent. Their participating numbers were historically lower than N0X, but they also wielded some very strong accounts that could topple our fights easily if we were not careful. 

This would be illustrated on the battlefield, as N0X forces found themselves 89 members strong compared to MBL’s 71, but no one let their guard down. Having received their orders from leadership, rally leads, racers, and fillers alike all donned their best gear and readied for the fight. From across the map of coveted buildings our scouts could spot the players who concerned us most: Bearface and Host0fDoom (previously known as HostOfDoom). Having encountered these two in other events, we knew they would be able to overtake even our strongest fighters, so we will have to work together to counter their strength. 

The first wave of buildings open, and the initial claims are split: MBL takes Mother and Warrior and both outposts are grabbed by N0X. Though this puts us in the lead for points per minute, the buffs offered by Mother and Warrior are too valuable to disregard. Before we can move to take them though, we must make sure our Outposts are secure by swapping the building leads. Belore leads the count down and all fillers are ready on their marks to speed in, as HotepRa discards the building at the perfect time allowing Belore’s army to claim the building. 

Our swap is successful, and we turn our attention to Warrior just as MBL begin a swap of their own. Many  N0X leads send out solo attacks hoping to catch the building at low reinforcements but MBL speeds in just in time. Instead, it must be taken with a wave of rallies and our Alysanne is the one to secure it just in time for the Ports to open. 

In the speedy clash, N0X comes away with both ports in our possession - Grombold in the near (where he will remain, forever immovable, hopefully enjoying his cookies) and Zacherry in the far, which means our team must prepare for another swap. 

While we were focused on this swap, MBL took advantage of our focus and began heavily solo-ing the troops in Alysanne’s warrior. Though we’re able to get more reinforcements in just in time, it quickly becomes clear that MBL will focus on our weakness here and we must find a solution to stop them from farming eliminations there. 

For now, our attention remains split on more pressing issues: the waves of rallies we’re sending to Mother and Casterly Rock opening in the next 20 seconds. For this moment to be successful we need to keep troops in the Warrior, time our rallies to hit together at the Mother, and have racers on their toes to secure CR. In this intense moment of pressure, everyone must play their role to ensure the success of the team. 

In these pivotal moments, we almost manage to pull everything off. Rallies crash against Mother and Mablung is able to claim it, subarushi wins the race for CR and we manage another clean swap to secure DYW as its holder. But the constant barrage of attacks at Warrior proves too much and MBL overtakes us there. 

The match pushes on, with MBL and N0X each securing each other’s Strongholds. N0X has held a good lead thus far, but MBL hasn’t let up. At the midway point of the match, they make a strong push for Targaryen Port.  The position of this building makes it easy for MBL to deploy wave after wave of hits, while our forces must traverse the entire map to reach it. The port survives the first wave of their rallies, but eventually succumbs to ChristianOr. 


The next high-speed race is for the Mines, offering a slew of points that could change our winning position if we allow MBL to overtake them. MBL does initially secure the Lannister Mine, but when they attempt to swap in Bearface our VERGO seizes the opportunity and steals it away. Having such a strong lead in that mine would have been difficult for us to knock out, and could have cost us a slew of points without his quick thinking. 

We’re able to hold on to each Mine through the onslaught of MBL attacks, and eventually even take back the far Port. By the scoreboard, this match is done early, but by the final moment we’ve earned 101k to MBL’s 45k. Though we had them outnumbered, MBL’s force was packed with strength, and if we hadn’t played well enough they would have been able to turn the tides on us. The real takeaway was a reminder that numbers alone won’t win the battle, but neither will brute strength.

NARRATOR:
(Black screen with text; The sound of buzzing bees can be heard)
According to all known laws
of aviation,:
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.:
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.:
The bee, of course, flies anyway:
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
BARRY BENSON:
(Barry is picking out a shirt)
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.:
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
JANET BENSON:
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
BARRY:
Coming!:
Hang on a second.
(Barry uses his antenna like a phone):
Hello?
ADAM FLAYMAN:(Through phone)
- Barry?
BARRY:
- Adam?
ADAM:
- Can you believe this is happening?
BARRY:
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
(Barry flies down the stairs):
MARTIN BENSON:
Looking sharp.
JANET:
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
BARRY:
Sorry. I'm excited.
MARTIN:
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.:
A perfect report card, all B's.
JANET:
Very proud.
(Rubs Barry's hair)
BARRY=
Ma! I got a thing going here.
JANET:
- You got lint on your fuzz.
BARRY:
- Ow! That's me!JANET:
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
(Barry flies out the door)
JANET:
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
(Barry drives through the hive,and is waved at by Adam who is reading a
newspaper)
BARRY==
- Hey, Adam.
ADAM:
- Hey, Barry.
(Adam gets in Barry's car):
- Is that fuzz gel?
BARRY:
- A little. Special day, graduation.
ADAM:
Never thought I'd make it.
(Barry pulls away from the house and continues driving)
BARRY:
Three days grade school,
three days high school...
ADAM:
Those were awkward.
BARRY:
Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
ADAM==
You did come back different.
(Barry and Adam pass by Artie, who is jogging)
ARTIE:
- Hi, Barry!BARRY:
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
ADAM:
- Hear about Frankie?
BARRY:
- Yeah.
ADAM==
- You going to the funeral?
BARRY:
- No, I'm not going to his funeral.:
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.:
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
ADAM:
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
(The car does a barrel roll on the loop-shaped bridge and lands on the
highway):
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our regular day.
BARRY:
I guess that's why they say we don't need vacations.
(Barry parallel parks the car and together they fly over the graduating
students)
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
(Barry and Adam sit down and put on their hats):
- Well, Adam, today we are men.ADAM:
- We are!
BARRY=
- Bee-men.
=ADAM=
- Amen!
BARRY AND ADAM:
Hallelujah!
(Barry and Adam both have a happy spasm)
ANNOUNCER:
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,:
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
DEAN BUZZWELL:
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...:
...9::
That concludes our ceremonies.:
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
ADAM:
Will we pick our job today?
(Adam and Barry get into a tour bus)
BARRY=
I heard it's just orientation.
(Tour buses rise out of the ground and the students are automatically
loaded into the buses)
TOUR GUIDE:
Heads up! Here we go.ANNOUNCER:
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
BARRY:
- Wonder what it'll be like?
ADAM:
- A little scary.
TOUR GUIDE==
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco:
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
Barry:
This is it!
BARRY AND ADAM:
Wow.
BARRY:
Wow.
(The bus drives down a road an on either side are the Bee's massive
complicated Honey-making machines)
TOUR GUIDE:
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life:
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.:
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.:
Our top-secret formula:
is automatically color-corrected,scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured:
into this soothing sweet syrup:
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
EVERYONE ON BUS:
Honey!
(The guide has been collecting honey into a bottle and she throws it into
the crowd on the bus and it is caught by a girl in the back)
ADAM:
- That girl was hot.
BARRY:
- She's my cousin!
ADAM==
- She is?
BARRY:
- Yes, we're all cousins.
ADAM:
- Right. You're right.
TOUR GUIDE:
- At Honex, we constantly strive:
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.:
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
(The bus passes by a Bee wearing a helmet who is being smashed into the
ground with fly-swatters, newspapers and boots. He lifts a thumbs up but
you can hear him groan):
ADAM==- What do you think he makes?
BARRY:
- Not enough.
TOUR GUIDE:
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
(They pass by a turning wheel with Bees standing on pegs, who are each
wearing a finger-shaped hat)
Barry:
- Wow, What does that do?
TOUR GUIDE:
- Catches that little strand of honey:
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
ADAM:
(Intrigued)
Can anyone work on the Krelman?
TOUR GUIDE:
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones.
But bees know that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.:
But choose carefully:
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
(Everyone claps except for Barry)
BARRY:
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
ADAM:What's the difference?
TOUR GUIDE:
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off:
in 27 million years.
BARRY:
(Upset)
So you'll just work us to death?:
We'll sure try.
(Everyone on the bus laughs except Barry. Barry and Adam are walking back
home together)
ADAM:
Wow! That blew my mind!
BARRY:
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?:
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
ADAM:
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
BARRY:
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
ADAM:
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.:
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.BARRY:
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
ADAM:
Like what? Give me one example.
(Barry and Adam stop walking and it is revealed to the audience that
hundreds of cars are speeding by and narrowly missing them in perfect
unison)
BARRY:
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
ANNOUNCER:
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
BARRY:
Wait a second. Check it out.
(The Pollen jocks fly in, circle around and landing in line):
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
ADAM:
- Wow.:
I've never seen them this close.
BARRY:
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
ADAM:
Yeah, but some don't come back.
GIRL BEES:
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
(The Pollen Jocks hook up their backpacks to machines that pump the nectar
to trucks, which drive away)LOU LO DUVA:
You guys did great!:
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks!
I love it!
(Punching the Pollen Jocks in joy)
I love it!
ADAM:
- I wonder where they were.
BARRY:
- I don't know.:
Their day's not planned.:
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.:
You can't just decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
ADAM==
Right.
(Barry and Adam are covered in some pollen that floated off of the Pollen
Jocks)
BARRY:
Look at that. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
ADAM:
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
BARRY:
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
and the ladies see you wearing it.
(Barry waves at 2 girls standing a little away from them)ADAM==
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
BARRY:
Distant. Distant.
POLLEN JOCK #1:
Look at these two.
POLLEN JOCK #2:
- Couple of Hive Harrys.
POLLEN JOCK #1:
- Let's have fun with them.
GIRL BEE #1:
It must be dangerous
being a Pollen Jock.
BARRY:
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
against a mushroom!:
He had a paw on my throat,
and with the other, he was slapping me!
(Slaps Adam with his hand to represent his scenario)
GIRL BEE #2:
- Oh, my!
BARRY:
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
GIRL BEE #1:
(Looking at Adam)
What were you doing during this?
ADAM:
Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities.
BARRY:
I can autograph that.(The pollen jocks walk up to Barry and Adam, they pretend that Barry and
Adam really are pollen jocks.)
POLLEN JOCK #1:
A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades?
BARRY:
Yeah. Gusty.
POLLEN JOCK #1:
We're hitting a sunflower patch
six miles from here tomorrow.
BARRY:
- Six miles, huh?
ADAM:
- Barry!
POLLEN JOCK #2:
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.
BARRY:
- Maybe I am.
ADAM:
- You are not!
POLLEN JOCK #1:
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.:
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
BARRY:
I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.
(The scene cuts to Barry looking out on the hive-city from his balcony at
night)
MARTIN:Hey, Honex!
BARRY:
Dad, you surprised me.
MARTIN:
You decide what you're interested in?
BARRY:
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
- But you only get one.:
Do you ever get bored
doing the same job every day?
MARTIN:
Son, let me tell you about stirring.:
You grab that stick, and you just
move it around, and you stir it around.:
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
BARRY:
You know, Dad,
the more I think about it,:
maybe the honey field
just isn't right for me.
MARTIN:
You were thinking of what,
making balloon animals?:
That's a bad job
for a guy with a stinger.:Janet, your son's not sure
he wants to go into honey!
JANET:
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
BARRY:
- I'm not trying to be funny.
MARTIN:
You're not funny! You're going
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
JANET:
- You're gonna be a stirrer?
BARRY:
- No one's listening to me!
MARTIN:
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
BARRY:
I could say anything right now.
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
(Barry's parents don't listen to him and continue to ramble on)
MARTIN:
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
BARRY:
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
Shave my antennae.:
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
a gold to
