Aneeyah knew that it was just too complicated to understand how the flybites and the sting of the bee affected Bombylias. They traveled through the night and got to the laboratory without being seen by anyone. When Aneeyah and Bombylias got to the lab, she was most concerned about his off and on sickness. She scanned and x-rayed his whole body and found that a tiny object was shot into the back of his shoulder. It was a device that made Bomylias sick.
Aneeyah pulled the device out that was hidden underneath his skin and said to Bombylias: Just what I thought. Dragonfly is trying to control you or maybe even kill you.
When Aneeyah pulled the device out of the beefly man, he felt 100% better. Then she made him a suit of armor. Aneeyah thought Bombylias had the ability to make himself a swarm of beeflies.
But Bombylias explained: No, I do not turn into beeflies. I have the ability to disappear and to change my image to hide my true self.
So Aneeyah put an electric honeycomb inside the chest part of his armor. It was the power source of him to create metal beeflies to shoot out like darts to attack in time of war. When Aneeyah looked over at Bombylias, his wings had disappeared and were no longer seen.
She asked: Where are your wings?
Bombylias: They are there behind me.
When Aneeyah looked at Bombylias’ back, the wings were folded into many folds on his back into eachother. He looked as if he had a flat tatoo on his back. Aneeyah was amazed at the Beefly man.
