CALVIN AND HOBBES: THE RING THAT SEALS TWO WORLDS!
Pronounciation: Wah-oht-loo-fie
The girl in the baseball cap sighed as she walked through the woods, her small pack slung over her shoulder. Casually, she twisted the ring on her finger. It was so important...more than you would think. She smiled. I wonder what the next place will be like. Will they be accepting of me? She hoped so. She was sick and tired of wandering around, and wanted to settle down for good.
"Hey look Hobbes! New girl alert! GROSS is now officially in action!" Water balloons flew through the air. The girl squealed.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You're so cruel!" She cried and ran away, into the woods.
"Touchy," said Calvin. Hobbes nodded in agreement. They walked away, went to their treehouse, and made dozens of Susie-bombing plans. They thought that the mysterious girl was out of their lives forever. Ha! Life holds many surprises, little ones. This girl was the first, there would be more.
The girl sighed (again) as she pulled off her cap. Her bushy wolf ears sprang up instantly. She stroked them fondly, her yellow eyes glowing in her face. She shook herself, andthe facebulged out, becoming furry and wolflike. Fangs sprouted, curving over her jaws.A large, furry tail sprang from the seat of her pants. Her arms and legs became covered with gray, coarse hair, and she felt her nails grow into deadly claws. She laughed. It was so uncomftorable to be in human form. The only reason she had approached these two was because of the humanoid tiger. Alas, he obviously could not help her in her secret mission. She reached down, and touched the ring again. Good-still there. She had been afraid that she had lost it in the haste to escape those two. Apparently not! She set up her tent, which seemed to spring upout of nowhere, and crawled inside. Wriggling into her sleeping bag, she hoped for a good night's sleep.
The next morning, she crawled out of her sleeping bag and walked into the dew-stained morning.She spread out her arms and called in the voice of the wolf. "Awoooooo!" The birds twittered in reply. She smiled at them. They were like half-sisters to her, and she loved them dearly.
Suddenly, a loud, off-tune singing alerted her sensitive ears. She grabbed her cap and stuffed it on, and felt her tail, fangs,claws, fur, and face recede. She peeked out from behind a tree. The kid and the tiger! They were marching through the woods, holding a picnic basket. The kid was singing. She winced and covered her ears with her hands. What a terrible song that was!
"Hey dude! Your singing is the pits!" she shrieked. The kid froze and turned his head stiffly.
"You-just-insulted-my-singing! Kill her, Hobbes!"
The tiger lunged at her, but she was ready. She brought up her arms, hitting him in the nose. As he swiped at her, she crouched down and delivered a roundhouse kick at his legs, causing him to topple over. She stood up again. "No tiger is going to take on Waotlufy and defeat her!" She growled, and suddenly felt a prickling on her arms. She instantly sprang backwards, and disappeared into the woods. She watched in mixed horror and relief as the fur on her arms grew out, covering them completely. She had nearly given herself away!
Hobbes was confused. Why had she seen his true form? Then Calvin bent down. "Cool, a ring." He twisted it, and the tiny gemstone fell and landed in the grass.
"Oh no!" yelled Calvin. "That gem could be worth a fortune!" But try as they might, they could not find it. They returned home, deeply disappointed. In the grass, an ominous black cloud rose above the gem. A red-eyed Shadow Griffin (SG for short) poked its head out, followed by the rest of its body, from slashing claws to suffocating wings to whiplike tail. It sniffed the air, then sat down to wait for nightfall. A sly grin was spread across its face. A mutated boogie man slid out, followed by a jewel-encrusted snake demon. They, too, sat down to wait...and wait.
Nightfall...
A ray of red light slowly snaked through the air. Waotlufy sat up, shocked. She looked down at her finger. No, no, NOOOOO! She had lost the ring! Now the demons were loose! She raised an eagle-shaped pendant to the air, and watched four beams of light shoot from it. The four people the beams found were the only hope for the world... But who would they be?
A beam of white light streamed into the bedroom of Calvin, and covered his body as well as Hobbes'. They sat bolt upright, and saw a path of light. They looked at each other, and Hobbes leapt gracefully onto it. As he walked along, Calvin hesitantly followed.
At Susie's house...
Susie rubbed her eyes. Mr. Bun was awake as well, and the two stared at the path of light. They looked at each other, shrugged, and started to walk along it. Soon, they saw another path of light. Calvin was walking along it. Funny. There was a tiger. Could it be Hobbes, in his true form?
Calvin looked to the side, nearly losing his balance. Hey, that was Susie. Who was that rabbit? It couldn't be...Mr. Bun? So he was real, like Hobbes!
"Greetings."
It was a wolf-like creature, dressed in armor. Obviously a female. She leapt up onto the paths of pearly light, and looked at them. "You have been chosen. The fate of the world lies in your hands."
"Whuzzah?" asked Calvin.
"Well, it is all your fault. So you should help me solve it." Then Calvin remembered. The girl...the ring...
"You're Waotlufy? The girl who beat Hobbes?" he cried.
"Sharp observation, little boy. Yes, I am the very same one. The gemstone of the ring was holding the world of demons and the real world apart. When you loosed the gemstone, you opened the barrier."
"Nice job," hissed Susie. She was angry. Who wouldn't be? I mean, seriously, would you like to be awoken in the middle of the night to fight demons? I know I wouldn't!
"The demons have cast a red light that has caused the rest of the world to fall into a deep sleep. Only the five of us are still awake. Not even my half-siblings can help us now."
"Your half-siblings?"
"The creatures of the forest!"
"Ahhhhhhh. Makes sense," said Hobbes. "Hey, wait a minute! Does that make me and Mr. Bun your half-brothers?"
She looked coolly at him. "Yes, it does. Not officially, though. It's actually just an expression."
Mr. Bun walked to her. He dipped his furry head in respect. "Half-sister, I shall do as you say."
"Good, little pesty half-brother,"Waotlufy said lightheartedly.
"So..." said Hobbes. "The fate of the world lies in our hands and paws?"
"You got that right! Now let's move out! Step One: Gather supplies." She picked up her pack. "I've got mine!"
In the end, this is what each member of the team had:
Waotlufy: A tent, armor, a griffin-made sword, several phoenix feathers, an old Jack-in-the-Box spring, and a pack to hold it all.
Calvin: All his inventions, chips,and comics.
Hobbes: An old metal shield he found in the basement and an umbrella.
Susie: An umbrella, lots of string, an easel, paintbrushes, and paints.
Mr. Bun: A bottle of pepper.
Waotlufy inspected the items. "Pretty good, they could all come in handy," she said. Calvin stared in shock.
"Painting stuff could come in handy?"
She shrugged. "Paint can blind when splashed into someone's eyes. Paintbrushes have somewhat pointy ends for poking someone's eyes out. An easel can be used to smash someone's head."
Susie spoke up. "How are chips and comics going to help us?"
"Amusement and nourishment."
The shadowy, turtle-like beast trundled along, its blood-red eyes scanning its surroundings. Suddenly, a large metal sheet came crashing down, and hit in in the head. It squealed in surprise and pain, then extended its neck and snapped at the paw holding the shield. It missed, but the paw faltered.
"Ah!" Hobbes dropped the shield in surprise. He reached out and grabbed it by the shell, then smashed it against the shield. He smashed it again and again, until it exploded into shadowy, dark shards. Hobbes smirked. "Hah!"
"One down; one trillion, two million, five hundred thousand, two thousand, one hundred and nine to go," said Waotlufy, checking it off on a handy chart. She touched one of the shards. "A night terror demon. They're responsible for those scary little nightmares you sometimes get."
Mr. Bun kicked one of the shards. It bounced off the sidewalk and melted into the darkness. "No longer will it bother innocent children as they sleep! They are safe forevermore!"
"Thanks to the almighty Hobbes!" The tiger struck a heroic pose.
"Don't get a high opinion of yourself, half-brother!" warned Waotlufy. "There's still many more to go! Besides, it's just a night terror. Be careful. The nightmare demons are a thousand times worse!"
