AND SWEET MOTHER OF NOTCH WE ARE FINALLY BACK! What is up guys this ECG finally back from Europe. It has been a great summer, but now I'm back in business with our updates of Hybrid Heroes! Last time, we left off with the heroes rushing off to help Nethy, but what's her trouble. Let's find out!

Chapter 11: Nethy's New Look

Nethy sighed as she slowly floated through the starry night. Ever since she came to the Overworld, she was always interested with the night. It was just so peaceful how the stars gleamed over the land and how the mobs made a harmony of moans and clacks. She hovered down onto a tall tree that overlooked the landscape, lied down and looked up at the stars.

"Wow, what a peaceful night..." Nethy whispered to herself, "But perhaps I should get back, before the others get worried where I am." She was about to stand up, but them something caught her eye in the distance. It was a figure in purple sprinting through the forest. She ran to the edge of the tree to get a better look.

"What is this, and what is it running from?" Nethy asked herself. Suddenly, the figure leapt incredibly high, almost above the tree. Then a realization hit Nethy: It wasn't running from anything; it was running at her! But it was too late. The figure tacked her and they fell down the dirt floor. Nethy regained her bearings and looked up a green-skinned man dressed in a purple jumpsuit. She looked into his eyes: They turned a different color every few seconds, but still were menacing nonetheless.

"Do you go by the name of Princess Nethera?" The man asked.

"Y-y-yes." Nethy replied nervously

"I am Beast Boy. My master has given me orders to bring you to him. You are coming with me."

This angered Nethy to no end. "I'm not your average princess, jerk! Fireball!" She shot a giant fireball from her mouth that hit him dead in the chest. He shot into the air, then teleported into thin air. Nethy flew in the air as Beast Boy reappeared in front of her.

"It seems I will need to use the full extent of my powers to take you down." Beast Boy said with a glare. He held out a hand, activating his Blaze, Enderman, and Wither powers at the same time. He condensed it into one blast and fired it at Nethy, who dodged it by a hair. The blast slammed into a nearby mountain and turned half of it into debris. Beast Boy then charged at Nethy shooting a volley of energy bullets at her. The tentacles on her hat came to life and swatted away every one, and then one grabbed Beast Boy and slammed him into the ground. This only dazed him, as he rapidly stood up and flew at Nethy. They engaged in close combat, each of them not letting up. They broke apart, each throwing a powerful punch. Nethy began breathing hard. Being a hybrid, her stamina was higher than that of a human. Even so, she was began to get tired. She looked at her opponent, who had hardly broken a sweat. Turns out having every species of entity running inside of you at once it a good source of energy.

"It seems that you are slowly wearing down. Very well then, I will show you a technique that can only be pulled off by gods. Behold, Nightmarish Grip." Beast Boy's arm became cloaked in Corrupted energy (Authors note: Forgot to mention, Beast Boy is a Corrupted entity since he did get his powers from the Corruption ) It formed into a large purple hand that shot at Nethy. It wrapped around her, the new dark energy causing her to be wracked with agony. The corrupted energy slowly began taking over her mind, making her more powerful and more sinister.

No, no! I can't let it take over me! I've gotta fight it! I've… gotta… fight… it… A voice in Nethy's head screamed. However, not even Nethy's willpower was strong enough to overcome this force.

I'm sorry everyone. Crepa. Ryan. Evenstar. Sam. Forgive me… After a few miserable minutes, the corruption finally took over Nethy, completely transforming her. Her clothes turned black with purple intricate lines. Her ghast hat became black as well, the face turning into a menacing and rather disturbing grin. Beast Boy walked over to her and checked her pulse.

"Hm, she is still alive thankfully. She will become a better addition to our cause now." However, just as he was about to pick her up, her body began shining with a bright light. Her unmoving body sent a bright light into the sky, an action that concerned Beast Boy.

"That's never good…" Beast Boy said. He picked up Nethy and began walking back to his base. However, before he could leave the clearing, a beam of energy hit him in the back knocking him down. "What the hell?" He asked wildly. He turned around to see no one else but the Hybrid Heroes standing in front of him. They studied Beast Boy before turning their attention to Nethy's unconscious and corrupted form.

"Oh my god! Nethy!" Evenstar screamed

"What did you do to her?!" Sam yelled at Beast Boy.

"I corrupted your friend," Beast Boy replied with the emotion of a computer, "She is now under the influence of the Corruption Master."

"Nethera! Can you hear me!" Sam said. The Ghast hybrid began to chuckle. The chuckle then escalated into a high pitched maniacal fit of laughter. Her body radiated with power as she stood to her feet. Sam stood back in fear.

"I AM AWAKE, MY LOVE! AND NOW I AM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. The heroes all began to shake in fear… all except Crepa.

She stepped forward, a solemn look on her face. "You guys need to get to Mt. Aether. I'll take care of Nethy."

"No Crepa, let me-" Sam started, but Nethy cut him off.

"No, Sam. Your emotions will get in the way. Right now, they Nethy we know and love is gone, leaving us with this… spawn. Evenstar, get the rest of the group to our destination. You know what to do."

Reluctantly, Evenstar turned into her dragon form. Everyone hopped on, wished Crepa good luck and then flew off to Mt. Aether.

"I will give chase to see the plan is completed. Keep the girl occupied." Beast Boy said to Nethy before flying off. This left two best friends standing on opposite sides of the clearing. An ominous wind swept through the land, the tension slowly rising.

"Nethy, I don't want to do this. I know you are still in their somewhere. You have to fight this corruption." Crepa said.

"No, Crepa, you were right with what you said earlier. The sweet little pathetic girl you once knew is gone with the wind. What stands before you is an embodiment of evil and nightmares. How long do you think you will last?"

"Only one way to find out." Crepa said. Suddenly, the air pressure dropped. Clouds began to darken and roll with thunder as the creeper hybrid's body began to charge with lightning…

And I'm going to cut you off there. Keep your pants on though. The next chapter will be out soon, I promise. Until then, I am EastCoastGamer13, and I will see you next time! :D
