The Hybrid

The End in Mind

The female hyena shook her head, regretting every part of her life so far. "Another person I chose goes unnoticed by my short-sightedness. Grr. Why!" The Queen growled, throwing her regal robe onto the floor.

"How are you so sure it's him?"

"Because he has the one job that allows him to effortlessly cover up his tracks," Jinni explained to Garfield.

"We'll take care of him for you, Jinni," Raven said.

"No," The hyena said, standing up and taking off her regal garments behind a changing booth. "I've been shortsighted for too long and I need to show the people that I care about them." She stepped out with a small brown mail breastplate, leather, and hardened metal padding on her arms and legs. She had two sharp one-edge curved swords on her back. "I'm going with you."

"Are you sure your highness? Things could get messy," Garfield said. The hyena simply smirked as she walked up to Garfield and pulled out her sword towards him. "Ah! Sharp!"

"I can do messy," Jinni said, sheathing her sword. "Now let get this badger." She ordered, stepping out of the throne room. The green teen looked at Raven confused.

"Hehe, she's a tough person sometimes," Raven nervously mumbled. The three of them made their way through the silent night streets of the city. Or the streets were supposed to be silent.

"I promise! I've given Mr. Geld everything I have!" Shouted a familiar voice to Garfield and Raven. "It's all I have," She pleaded.

"The boss doesn't think you're thinking outside of the box enough," Said one of the badgers. "It's time we collect." The honey badger spotted the two children. "Maybe the sons would do nicely in the diamond mines."

"Over my dead body," The lioness growled.

"That could be arranged," The honey badger evilly leered as they drew closer to her. Suddenly, Garfield lifted them into the air with his magic. "What the-" Queen Jinni grabbed one of the badgers. "Queen Jinni!"

"Where... is... Geld," The female hyena threatened.

"By the docks, on the other side of town," The badger quickly spluttered.

"I know where it is, but we have to be fast," Raven said. "I can run there, but you two-"

"I have a spell that can track you. Just get to the-" Raven zoomed off before Garfield could finish. "Docks."

"She's so decisive," Jinni smirked. The green teen nervously chuckled.

"Yeah." Soon the blue/red-haired teen was at the docks and Beast Boy and Jinni were magically there next to her. The docks had three by-the-river warehouses. The female queen saw the old hobbling badger wobbling into the one closest to them.

"There he is," Jinni pointed down. "The warehouse has an opening on the top."

"How do you know this?"

"I designed them to have that so I could sneak up on illegal practices," Queen Jinni answered Garfield. Beast Boy looked at Raven with a bewildered surprised look. Raven simply shrugged as they followed Jinni's lead. The three of them snuck into the high beams of the warehouse, peering down onto the working floor. Crates of spears, swords, mallets, cannons, and all kinds of weaponry were being hauled, moved, and made. "What the heck is Geld doing?"

"Look, over there," Raven whispered. Mr. Geld was looking at a large map, tracing circles. The three stealthfully made their way over. Jinni could see the map. The badger had circled all the places that Jinni knew were weak points in her country. But she still didn't know why he was doing this. "This is more than just a greedy politician. He's trying to get something."
