Hybrid Heroes: Corruption
Prologue: The Deal
John had another one of those dreams again. He was in a white Infinite space, nothing in sight. Suddenly, there was a voice that echoed throughout his dreamworld.
"Hello once again, Jonathan. I hope you have had enough time to make your choice?"
"Yes I have. By the way, I've never actually seen you. I prefer negotiating face-to-face."
"Very true sir, however I only have enough power to appear in your dreams. However, once you do what I ask of you, you will see me in the flesh."
"Fine then. So what's this big plan of yours?"
Suddenly, the world around him changed. It was a Plains Biome, but much different. The grass and vegetation was purple and looked half dead. The sky was a dull gray, and there wasn't a peaceful mob in sight. Instead, he saw purple spiders, pale green Slimes, and a ghastly combination of a skeleton and a zombie. He even saw an Enderman that set things aflame whenever it teleported.
"What is this place?" John asked in shock.
"This is my plan for the world, John. Notch created Minecraftia in an attempt to make a peaceful, simple world, a canvas of endless possibilities for the mind. It makes me sick. I will crush Minecraftia, and recreate it in my image. Once I am freed from this dark prison, I will retake my throne and this world will be mine!"
"How will humans play into this?"
"I can care less about the humans. They will adapt like they always have, and if they cannot that is their problem."
"…"
"I see you are still unsure. It seems it will take more than wealth and power to persuade you. What if I told you I knew the location of your brother?"
John froze. "M-my brother?"
A small piece of paper floated out of nowhere and fell into John's hands. It was photo showing a group of teenagers. He recognized a boy with a red hoodie on, with black hair. He had the same brown eyes John had.
"Ryan…" John whispered
"Your brother is currently residing with a group of young adventurers called the Hybrid Heroes." The voice said. A glow appeared behind the girl standing next to John's brother in the photo. She was tall and lanky and had purple eyes and brunette hair. An Enderman hat rested on her head.
"This is Endra. She is an Enderman hybrid, and the wisdom of the team. She uses psychic attacks in battle and wields the Ender Bow."
The light then appeared a man standing in the middle of Endra and John's brother. He was a behemoth of a man, with broad shoulders and a broader smile.
"This is Chris; he is a human and the brawn of the team. He is no ordinary man however; he was once an agent for the SCP, and when he was caught in a major lab accident, giving him superhuman strength, speed, agility, and regeneration abilities."
The light then focused onto a girl in a white dress. She had a Ghast hat on her head.
"This is Nethera, Princess of the Ghast Kingdom. She escaped with the Hybrid Heroes on their journey to the Nether. She has the ability to fly and can shoot fireballs from her hands and mouth."
The light then focused on the boy. He had dirty blond hair and a big smile. He wore a blue shirt and blue jeans.
"This is Sam, the brains of the team. He is not as skilled as a fighter as the others, but he makes up for it in sheer intelligence. His prowess in building, crafting, and redstone surpass those of Sethbling, Hypixel, and even FVDisco."
The light switched onto a girl in a green creeper hoodie. She had orange hair and wore a golden locket around her neck.
"This is Crepa, a creeper hybrid. She can create different bombs to assist her in battle, and when all else fails, she can morph into her Charged Form, a form that increases her power tenfold."
Next was a boy standing next to Crepa. He had a calm smile and a diamond pickaxe rested on his shoulder.
"This is Ace, the leader of the group. While he is equally skilled in all forms of adventuring, his specialties are combat and his knowledge on the wildlife around him."
The light finally focused on a boy with dark grey clothing on and grey sword at his waist, and a girl with purple hair and black clothing on.
"The boy is named Snap. He is Wither Skeleton Hybrid, and can use Wither Energy to create devastating attacks. He can also drain magic and use it to his own disposal. The girl is Evenstar, and Ender Dragon hybrid, making her possibly the most powerful one on the team. She has the ability to turn into an Ender Dragon herself, and can use Ender Energy to create attacks as well."
"You seem to have nice intel." John said as he put the photo in his pocket.
"My spies keep me in the loop."
"Ok, now how do I get to my brother?"
"You leave that to me and my servants. When you awaken, you will go to Mt. Aether. There will be a structure there with a piece of Netherrack on the top. All you have to do is light it."
"Light it? That's it?"
"Yes. Tell your brother and his friends that they will need to light it to stop the corruption, which I have already initiated. Once you light the fire, I will appear, and our deal will come full circle."
"And what about your servants?"
"My servants will assist you throughout your journey, but if you cross them or me, they have no restrictions to run you through. But we won't have to get to that point, won't we?"
"Affirmative, sir."
"Good. Now rest, my partner. When you wake you and your brother will find each other. All you have to do is wait…"
Slowly, the world began to fade to black once again. "Ryan, my brother, I will see you once again…" John said as he fell asleep once more.
Awesome sauce! A new character, a mysterious plotline, and an epic quest are already unfolding. Stick around for the next addition to Hybrid Heroes: Corruption!
