Unlocking the Ethereals
Beast Boy in his ethereal tiger form charged at the similarly morphed form of Alyssa. The two ethereals clashed as a deafening roar rang out throughout the hills they swiped and clawed at each other all the while releasing primal roars. Alyssa swiped at Beast Boy's ethereal arm damaging it. He repaid the favor by breaking her hind leg. She then brought both paws down onto his back and unsheathed her claws ripping into his flesh. He roared in pain as he reeled from the brutal wound.
"Allow me to take over young one," the booming voice of Prime sounded in his mind.
"I can do this," Beast Boy mentally retorted as he fought the pain. He then subjected Alyssa to a barrage of swipes. She blocked every one of his poorly timed attacks and fought back in the same manor further damaging the teen.
"On second thought, here you go," Beast Boy told the conscience.
"Ha. Thought so," Prime gloated as he took over Beast Boy's body. In the hands of Prime, Beast Boy's ethereal tiger changed form. It became bigger, almost twice its original size and all its wounds were healed. In addition, the air around the beast crackled with lightning and the ground under its feet broke. Alyssa stared in pleased shock. She quickly changed her form to match and charged at the formidable beast. They clashed once again sending lightning in all directions. This time however, Beast Boy's motions were much more fluid as he at times outperformed Alyssa. She fought the urge to allow the mother spirit to control her. They fought for what seemed like hours and neither seemed to tire or slip up. Eventually, Beast Boy's ethereal began to wane as his power was nearly depleted. Alyssa immediately opened her eyes losing her ethereal form as she softly floated to the ground. Beast Boy followed suit as Prime gave him control of his body once more.
"Wow, that was really good Beast Boy!" Alyssa exclaimed, shocked.
"Don't give me credit, it was all Prime," he replied exhausted.
"Yes, but you and Prime are now the same being. His actions are yours and vice versa," Alyssa said beaming.
"Oh, he doesn't want to take credit for some of the thing I've done, trust me," he retorted with a sly smile. Alyssa rolled her eyes and headed back to their training grounds in the mountains.
