Hybrids to Humans
Chapter Three: New
A/N: I WILL CRUSH YOU TINY MORTAL LADY!
...Sorry, was using a particularly hilarious Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker hack.
Seto quietly sat on the worn leather couch the human had offered him, forcing himself to appear defeated. He was feeling a strong urge to tear the wretched spawn's head off when he saw several dragon-skin coats in the corner, a dragon head hanging over the fireplace, and a glass stand with differently colored dragon scales.
"So..." The man cleared his throat, and it took a few moments for Seto to realize he had been scowling. He immediately adopted a look of fear and looked up sharply. The human raised his arms in surrender. "Notch, kid, why..."
He trailed off when Seto stood to his full height instead of hunching, the tattered clothes melting away, revealing him in all his violet-cloaked, menacing aura.
His violet eyes flashed dangerously. "Hunting dragons for sport, huh?"
He offered the fearful man a fanged grin.
"Does..."
His blackened claws clenched the man's shirtfront.
"It..."
The man was brutally slammed against the wall.
"Occur..."
He looked up, his bloodied nose the least of his concerns...
"To you..."
Because the human was now staring the Ender Dragon full in the face.
"THAT THEY WERE OF MY BLOODLINE?!"
Quaking, the human pathetically begged for forgiveness. Somewhere, somehow, Seto's warmer side showed him a picture where he could help the man up and accept the apology.
But Seto was not a merciful dragon. Especially because he was a Creature. They got what they wanted, no matter what the cost was. They were Notch's spawns, children of the Gods, and they never faced punishment for any crime except for killing a God or such.
They were protected, and apparently this human didn't know that.
Seto suddenly remembered the plan in a rush, however, and he gritted his fangs, resisting the temptation of destroying the man, then leaving him to suffer the painful, horrific fate the Mojang Gods' Council had for him.
Instead, he smacked the man across the face—hard—and savored the moment while he could. Then he sourly dragged the human from his house.

Kurai stared at the... The... THING standing in front of her. She only been commenting (*cough*rudely*cough*) about Demon Hybrids (because Sky had been pissing her off) when a huge shadow fell upon her, and the next thing she knew, she was being stared down by a freaking Demon Hybrid that happened to be a female.
Seto froze, his wings well hidden behind his back. The others had already morphed into their human forms except for Zek and Seto, both being Creatures. Kurai's wings were pinned behind her back, but were hard to see in the shadows. Zek had already been wearing a cloak, so he simply tucked his wings inside of it.
"Take that back, please..." The girl's voice was barely audible. Kurai, already clever enough to be a perfect actress, did what she always relished doing.
Using her cunning to her advantage.
She quickly figured out that the girl didn't know she was facing a whole group consisting of God Spawns; she was sneering at her with a look of intense hatred. Kurai knew she could wipe that smirk off just by spreading her wings, taking flight, and dropping the Demon Hybrid into an ocean—but she resisted, instead conjuring up an image of what humans did when confronted by a God Spawn.
Kurai telekinetically whispered to the others: "Pretend to be a distressed human." She aimed a irritated glare at Sky before her expression shifted almost instantaneously.
"P-please, sp-spare me! I-I never m-meant to a-a-aggravate you! Please! I-I have family back home, a-and they'll be lost i-if I'm n-not around! P-please..."
The girl tilted her head, then glanced up sharply at the others. Kurai sent a telepathic message once more: "NOW!"
The girl found that first, her feet slid out beneath her, then next, she was feeling VERY intimidated by the group of humans she had—no, these were not humans. These were—
The Hybrid gulped. "Oh..."
[...]
"Who are you?"
Silence.
"WHAT are you?"
Silence.
"Asocial much?"
"F**k off."
Kurai grinned. The girl was a lot like herself back when she had lived in the Nether and participated in MineCraftia update meetings with the Mojang Gods' Council, along with her older sister Lunaria. Cold, unfeeling, menace rolling off of her in waves.
She saw the way Sky had been staring at the girl, though, his jaw nearly touching the floor when realizing that she, too, was a Demon Hybrid.
Kurai smirked. "You know, we have a Sea Dragon Hybrid if you refuse to talk..."
The Demon Hybrid glared at the EnderAngel defiantly.
"What are all of YOU? You answer me first; I've never seen any of your kind..." She made a slight gesture to Sky. "Except for HIM."
Bajan stepped forward first. "I am a..." He halted and glanced first at the leader, Sky, then at Seto, whose thought-reading ability was much more skilled than Kurai's. Seto seemed to get the hint and whispered back telekinetically, "Don't specify your species. Just say..."
"I am a Werewolf. Er, Hybrid."
The girl tilted her head again, smiled, then said, "I... I'm Amber."
Pause.
Awkward silence.
"That's all?"
Amber shrugged, causing her dark red hair to bounce slightly.
"Notch, you remind me of Ethan," muttered Sky.
Jerome muttered something to Bajan, who blushed and snapped back, "Does not!"
Kurai had picked up what they were whispering about and grinned. She whispered to Amber, "Hey, he likes—"
The dark-red-haired teen jerked back as Kurai was suddenly thrown away. Zek shrieked and flew after her.
Bajan, huffing, stomped away, and there was another profusely awkward silence before Sky made a wild hand gesture towards the denser part of the forest.
"Er... Shall we?"
[...]
Seto made a loud rumbling noise and flopped over onto his slender side, tossing everyone from his back. Kurai immediately hurried over, while the rest of the Team moaned and rolled around.
Bodil stood up rather suddenly and winced. "I think my wing..." The Scarlet Angel Hybrid gingerly ran a finger over the left ridge of his gray, red-tinted wing and winced again. "Yup, I think it's dislocated."
Simon cringed as well and called over Ssundee, who looked overwhelmed about the amount of God Spawns he had to heal. Seto lumbered over as well and turned into a Hybrid, then staggered over to Ssundee.
"Uh... Who's injured the most?"
Immediately everyone pointed to either Zek or Bodil. Bodil nudged Zek, who had fallen unconscious, and bit his lip when there was no answer.
"Faltering. Give him time, his Faltering has gotten worse."
Kurai immediately leaned towards Deadlox, who looked awkwardly at Kurai. Everyone—except for Amber, who looked confused—knew that Enderlox lived as Deadlox, and that Enderlox was one of the three main figures of royalty in the End, besides Kurai and Seto, making him Kurai's brother.
Kurai gave Deadlox a glance, and suddenly the Halcyon Werewolf doubled over, black streaks running over his hair. Amber stepped back in alarm when Deadlox opened his now-violet eyes.
"Kurai..."
Kurai looked up at the taller. "Hello, brother."
Amber glanced at Bajan with a look that clearly asked, "Who is that?"
Bajan shot a nervous look towards Enderlox before he muttered back, "All you need to know is that he's not worth killing."
Seto looked up from his prodding of Zek and raised his eyebrows at Enderlox. "Brother."
Enderlox inclined his head towards Seto. "Same to you."
Kurai clung to Enderlox's arm and said childishly, "Brother? Will Zek wake up?"
Sky exchanged a startled glance with Mudkip, who shrugged.
Amber gritted her teeth. One of her clawed hands wrapped around the hilt of her dagger. A paw landed firmly over it, though, and Amber looked up defiantly.
Jerome tilted his head, a silent question hanging itself in the air. He was only a half inch shorter than Bajan, which meant he was still a good three inches taller than Amber.
The Demon Hybrid slowly lowered her hand, though her piercing gaze remained fixated on Enderlox, as though she didn't trust him.
"You are fully justified not to trust him," hissed Bajan to Amber. "I hate him too. But he lives within Deadlox, and should you hurt Enderlox..."
Amber's eyes widened in silent horror, her grip on the dagger handle loosening completely.
Bajan gave her a satisfied nod before turning away.
Kurai was shaking Zek. "ARE YOU GONNA WAKE UP NOW, SLEEPING BEAUTY?!"
Seto looked slightly alarmed, while Enderlox was in the darker shadows of the trees, shaking his head.
Ssundee leaned over to Sky. "I don't think she's gonna be sane anytime soon."
Sky bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud. "Yeah, I think so too."
Zek blinked slowly, scanning the situation before fanning his wings out and backing away from Kurai. The EnderAngel shrieked and flew straight at him at top speed.
"Scatter before she kills you!" Joked Ryan, but leaped nimbly out of the way when Kurai went hurtling towards him.
"DON'T FREAKING BITE ME!" Screamed Enderlox, fighting off Kurai. "YOU'RE NOT RABID, ARE YOU?!"
The EnderAngel backed off, huffing, before her gaze fell on Sky.
"Well sh*t."
