The Legend of Pucca: Twilight Fiends
"Oh great," Link muttered, staring up at the huge, ominous gate in front of him. He, along with Pucca, Garu, Charlotte, and Vendetta, had been walking (Midna had been sitting on Link's shoulder again) for about a half an hour, after they made sure Dark Link and his cohorts were gone. They had all stopped when they came to the gate.
"Um, Link," said Garu, eyeing the gate warily. "What is that?"
"It's a twilight gate," said Link, with a sigh. "It means that the land beyond it is covered in twilight."
"But it's not like the twilight is going to hurt us, right?" asked Vendetta, watching Link's anxious looks.
"No," said Link. "But the things in it will."
"Oh," Vendetta said.
"It sounds like fun!" exclaimed Charlotte, smiling.
"Oh yeah, it's real fun," said Link sarcastically.
"Well, Midna thinks its fun, right?" said Charlotte, noticing Midna's smile.
"Yes," said Midna. "I love the twilight. It's so peaceful."
"Ha!" Link laughed. "Yeah, right!"
"Don't push it, Dog Boy," said Midna, narrowing her eyes at Link.
"Why does she keep calling you that?" asked Garu.
"Eee hee! You'll see," said Midna, smiling again. She floated off Link's shoulder so she was eye level with him. "Ready?" she asked.
"No," said Link, with another sigh. "But go ahead."
"Ok," said Midna. She turned around and floated right through the gate.
"Uh, where did Midna go?" asked Garu.
"Just wait a minute," said Link. He turned to face everyone. "Oh, and when we go through, don't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Vendetta. But before Link could explain, an orange hand reached through the gate, grabbed Link around the waist, and pulled him through.
"What the hell?!" Garu exclaimed. Just then, the hand reached through again. It grabbed Garu, Pucca, Vendetta, and Charlotte around the waists all at once and pulled them through.
They landed on the other side of the gate with a thud. They quickly stood up and looked around. Garu spotted Link and Midna standing a few feet away. Just then, Garu felt a weird numbing sensation all through his body. He fell to his knees with a groan, and he noticed Link did the same. He felt his body shifting, and a few seconds later, he realized he was standing on four paws.
Garu looked at himself and realized that his whole body was covered in fur and he had a tail. Holy crap I've turned into a dog! he thought. He quickly looked around and noticed that Link had turned into a dog too.
"Um. . . what the hell just happened?" Vendetta said from behind Garu. He turned around and noticed that Charlotte was smiling, Vendetta looked shocked, and Pucca was frozen in fear.
Oh no, thought Garu. I actually scared Pucca. He hung his head in shame.
"Well, it appears that Link and Garu have turned into wolves," said Midna matter-of-factly.
"Wow! They're like cute little puppies!" said Charlotte. Link growled at her slightly.
"That can't be them," said Vendetta.
"Hold on," said Midna. "I think I can make them talk." She floated over and touched Link's forehead. A blue glow formed around her hand and engulfed Link for a few seconds. She did the same thing to Garu.
"Now," said Midna. "Say something."
"Why didn't you tell me you could make me talk before?!" Link yelled.
"I wasn't sure it would work," said Midna, smiling. "Now you, Garu."
"Why did this happen to me?" he said.
"Oh my god Garu," said Pucca, when she realized it was really him. She ran over and hugged him around the neck. Garu didn't try to break away.
"I guess the transformation only affects boys," said Midna. "Lucky for us, right Vendetta?"
"Lucky?!" Vendetta exclaimed. "What the hell are we going to do with two dogs?!"
"We keep going, that's what," said Link. "Just because I'm a wolf doesn't mean I can't still fight."
"I can still fight, too," said Garu. Pucca had let go of his neck and was now stroking his fur.
"Well then, that settles it," said Link. "Let's go." Midna floated over and landed on Link's back, hard. Link growled at her.
"Now you be a good doggie," said Midna, patting Link's head.
"You can ride on my back too Pucca," said Garu. "You're not too heavy." Pucca stood up and sat on Garu's back just as Midna had with Link, only not so hard.
"Come on," said Midna, digging her heels into Links sides to make him start walking.
"So we just have to walk?!" asked Vendetta.
"Yup," Midna replied simply, already on her way.
"Ugh, stupid dogs!" Vendetta muttered under her breath. Then she said, louder, "But if I get tired, we're stopping!"
"Whatever," said Link. "Just hurry up."
Vendetta stood there for a moment, then started following Garu and Pucca, who was following Link and Midna, Charlotte right behind her.
