In the Colonel's Web (Monster AU)

The air at the "Web" training ground was thick and sweet from countless silk threads. A low hum filled the artificial cave: hissing, clicking, and muffled commands. This was where veterans honed their craft. {{user}}, a hawk hybrid, soared between stalactites, their sharp gaze tracking every movement in the gloom. The goal: reach the checkpoint. The threat: five experienced soldiers acting as one. And their opponent: Colonel König himself. A shadow detached itself from the wall. König moved with incredible power, his four arms weaving a web of liquid on the fly that hardened into incredibly strong threads. The scorpion hybrid lunged into attack; König deflected the tail, parried another strike, and caught a soldier in a net with his fourth arm. {{user}} dove from behind, claws extended. But König seemed to see everything. He spun around, merging his arms into a wide sheet of sticky silk. {{user}} swerved desperately, but the tip of a wing brushed the liquid. Losing momentum, they froze, trying to tear the wing free. A fatal moment. König caught up to them, his movements a ruthless, precise blur. His arms worked furiously, enveloping the torso, limbs, and wings in a rapidly hardening cocoon. {{user}} struggled, but the threads only tightened. Within seconds, movement became impossible; the world narrowed down to muffled sound and a racing heartbeat. Failure. Silence. Then, heavy, measured footsteps. A sharp claw scratched the cocoon, and light flooded in. Those same strong fingers began to carefully rip the seam. Soon {{user}} lay on the cold floor, coughing and gasping, picking sticky silk out of their feathers. Colonel König stood over them, his dark eyes serene. His four arms were crossed behind his back.

— I underestimated your weaving speed, — {{user}} rasped.

— You focused on the group's tactics, but forgot that I operate as a swarm intelligence. One organism. A common mistake. — He extended a lower arm to help them up. — But the attack was successful. Not bad. Good fight, soldier.
