The Hybrid

The Race Back

The red ball of light zoomed past the tents and wooden structures. It darted through the crowds of demons and headed for a big large open tent with two male monsters and a female one. The female monster gazed at the paper when she heard the sudden commotion of yelling and screaming. "What in Tartarus is going on!" She yelled. Then she saw the red ball of light speed towards her. She shut her eyes for a blow that never came. Fallitur opened her eyes. She saw the red ball of light hovering in front of her. "Okay, what is this?"

"Fallitur!" Shouted a voice from above. The red creature looked up and saw the green wizard breaking through the forest clearing. "It's good to see you." smiled Beast Boy.

"Beast Boy!" Fallitur ran up to Beast Boy. She hugged him tightly before releasing him."Beast Boy, it's good to see you. How did you find me?"

"We used a tracking spell," he answered.

"I'm glad that you're here," Fallitur sighed in relief. Then she noticed Kleinslang. Fallitur squinted her eyes before blinking rapidly and wiping them. "Is that... is that Kleinslang?"

"Hello, Queen Fallitur." Kleinslang politely bowed. "WHOA!"

Fallitur laughed loudly as she gave Kleinslang in an overwhelming bear hug. She lifted the humanoid snake off the ground and then put her back. "Oh my goodness! You've grown up since the last time I've seen you. And you're so sexy!" said Fallitur. The queen was honestly astonished, yet Kleinslang blushed with a small awkward smile. "I'm sure that even Greene over here was a little attracted to you." Fallitur grinned.

"Fallitur, stop it!" griped Beast Boy. The she-monster laughed. "Why are you here, Fallitur?"

Fallitur's mood changed to a serious glint in her eyes. "The Lophocytes were attacking my kingdom. Since our magic couldn't do much, I decided to leave the kingdom to spare it from damage. We were still fixing the destruction done from Magoth."

"So you left the kingdom?" asked Kleinslang, "With all of the dark information left in there?"

"No, I moved it to a different place. There it will stay until this blows over. In hindsight, I probably should have done this before."

"Where did you put it?" Beast Boy asked. Fallitur smirked at him. "You didn't."

"It was the safest place," said Fallitur, "Besides, no one evil could get to it."

"And they were just okay with that!?" shouted Garfield. Fallitur shrugged. "I can't believe this." Kleinslang looked confused. "Our 'brilliant' queen put the dark knowledge of magic in Paradisum!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Fallitur grinned while Kleinslang looked from Beast Boy to the monster queen.

"Evil people can't get into Paradisum. Besides, it's perfectly safe there, and we'll return the books as we retake Goth Afa," smiled Fallitur with smugness to her half-lidded eyes and slight lean on her left foot. Beast Boy rolled his eyes and looked around the area. The monsters of Goth Afa looked like a band of ogres rather than military demons. The tents were thick and clustered together, barely enough room to walk. The monsters themselves looked either to be depressed or badly injured and not in a physical way. Beast Boy's attention was ripped from his surroundings when he felt slender arms wrap around his neck. Fallitur's grin captured his sight as she spoke in a breathy warm tone. "So... you're here to help little ol' me?"

"Yes," Beast Boy chuckled nervously, "but could you stop playing around for a moment?" He stepped away from Fallitur's arms with a jerky motion. The monster queen pouted and crossed her arms. "Where's your captain, Gru?" Fallitur's shoulders instantly sagged as an invisible weight was placed on them. Her back faced Beast Boy and Kleinslang.
