From aside, it looked like the convulsive jerking movement of unknown creatures.

Super Queen-Mother directed small portions of energy at this enemy.

The creatures sprayed apart, like jelly-fish, slapped down against a dike dam. The broken parts instantly became transparent and thawed on the planet’s surface.

Super Queen-Mother directed the fire farther and father, inland. Her shots became more often, but assailants cropped up even quicker.

She had to use the «carpeting» tactics – to make a shot not at targets, but at localities divided into areas: an inner circle, a middle circle, and a distant circle. The tactics she had chosen appeared to be effective.

There were no trees left any more, they all perished, helping Super Queen-Mother in the battle. Only the soil, turned over and mixed up with burning trunks, was around her now.

The darkness, set in when the light was undulating, was not absolute any more. Anything that was burning, gave light to this picture of death.

Chapter 8

It seemed the enemy had understood that the fight could have been without end, and had changed their tactics.

Whatever surrounded her: stones, trunks, and ditches, started to move off; 3D images became flat. It looked like a large picture painted on the internal side of a big ball.

Suddenly, the whole surface cracked and crumbled, revealing dozens of small holes. The next moment a fiery ball was blown out of each of them.

All of these blown balls burst.

Small fiery balls ran out of them; they swirled, filling all the space of a big ball.

New balls were blown out of the holes and also burst. The process of ball blowing did not cease.

These small balls became more and more numerous, with every minute they approached Super Queen-Mother nearer and nearer.

Their chaotic movement became at once directed when Super Queen-Mother sharply moved her arm back. The balls flew to her hand.

«Well, you react to the movement! Then you’ll get it. I’ll hit them with the energy they had created», Super Queen-Mother decided and, having broken off a big piece from her cracked pedestal, threw it up, having imparted the strongest rotary motion to it.

The balls, like magnets, stuck to the stone and flew into each other, forming one big fiery ball. Soon it looked like a huge shining sun.
