I am still thinking about what my next fanfic will be, but I will leave it up to you guys. Anyways, Link is telekinetically choking the evil captain, but something else is about to happen.

Chapter 6: The Beast Within

The only noise that could be heard, was the smacking of the captain's dead body on the deck. Everyone just stared at Link who was looking at the crumpled form in front of him. Tetra looked at Link's hand, and the Power triangle was still glowing like crazy. Slowly, she got up to her feet and tried to walk towards Link. But suddenly, Link telekinetically lifted the body and tossed it overboard. He turned around and looked at Tetra. She saw no difference in him, but something still didn't feel right. "Link?"

Link just turned and ran down the stairs and went below decks to the cargo hold. The pirates of the opposing crew had dove overboard before something happened to them too. Tetra's crew just cleaned up the area and went to their jobs as if nothing. Only Tetra stood where she was, crying to see her husband becoming such a…..monster. Gonzo tried to comfort her, but she just shook him off. She walked to the railing and looked down at the waters steadily going by. Then she looked up at the sky. It looked just like the night a few months ago when she and Link had the special night together. Then she noticed the full moon. Link had been looking at it for months. She looked down at the deck to see Link had returned, but he too was looking at the moon. She quickly ran down to him. But this time, he looked different. His eyes looked sharper, his hair seemed…different. "Link? What's going on?"

"Something is happening." His voice was much lower, it almost scared Tetra.

Link suddenly clutched his sides, and seemed to be growling. Link started screaming, getting the attention of the whole crew. Everyone crowded around to see what was happening. Link was getting closer to the ground. Link then started changing completely black.

"Link?"

Link then gave a loud piercing cry, and it slowly changed to a howl. During that, Link seemed to be morphing. Suddenly, the howl ceased. The blackness changed back to normal colors, and standing in the middle of the crew, was a fearsome looking wolf. The wolf looked menacingly at the crew and looked like it was about to pounce. Some of the pirates drew their swords and started backing away. The wolf was growling and slowly walking toward the crew.

"Link, it's me, Tetra. Don't you remember?"

The wolf seemed to stop for a moment then looked at her. He suddenly made a leap at her which she barely dodged. Gonzo didn't know what to do, sure it was Link, but right now, he was a threat. Gonzo rushed the Wolf Link and tried swiping at him to get him to back down. The wolf snarled at him and lunged at Gonzo, knocking him over. The wolf then returned its sights to Tetra. She kept walking backwards until she hit the wall. The wolf had cornered her. But then, Gonzo came and used the pommel of the sword and knocked the wolf out cold. Tetra quickly gets up and runs over to check on Link.

Gonzo said, "He's out, but he's alive."

Niko asked him, "But happens if he wakes back up?"

"We'll chain him up in the brig so he can't do anything else. What do you think Miss?"

Tetra thought for a moment then she agreed. "It's for his own good."

Several pirates carried the wolf down to the brig. They stood him on his hind legs and chained his fore legs. Tetra stayed behind when the others left. She had to admit, the beast was beautiful. It looked almost sacred. She looked at his left paw and saw the Power and Courage triangles glowing evenly like before. She sighed in relief, but Link was still a wolf. And apparently, the wolf didn't see them as friends. It must be new instincts. Tetra turned and walked to her cabin and did what she could to go to sleep. A little after Tetra did fall asleep, the wolf turned black once more.

The next morning…

Tetra stirred in her sleep. She woke up to find something out of place. Then she realized, 'Link is still in the brig.' she thought. Tetra quickly got dressed, fixed her bun, and walked out. She went down to the brig to see how the wolf was doing. When she got there, she saw not the wolf, but Link standing there chained to the wall.

"Link?"

He stirred, and Tetra assumed he must have been asleep. Link quickly looked at his surroundings and saw that he was chained. He quickly tried pulling the chains off, but it wouldn't budge. That got Link angry again. His Triforce of Power resonated again. He turned black, and Tetra gasped for she knew what was coming. The figure morphed into the wolf and he began snarling and yapping. With great fury, he broke the chains off. But the chain on his left paw remained, only one of the links broke. He turned to Tetra and began walking toward her, growling. She stumbled backwards and fell. The wolf was almost on top of her. She held he hands to her chest and closed her eyes, not wanting to see what would happen next. But her triforce started resonating. The wolf saw this and was suddenly hit by memories. He knew this woman. He…loved her. Then he understood and looked at himself. Seeing what he became and what he had done, he walked around Tetra, to her side and sat. He nudged her hand and she opened her eyes to see the wolf looking down at her. But she looked into its blue eyes and saw that happiness that could only belong to one person. He was Link again.

"Link, what happened?"

Link just whimpered. Tetra took this as a sign that he didn't know.

"Well, can you try to change back to your old self?"

Wolf Link shut his eyes and concentrated, pushing out the gift of power, and bringing in the gift of courage. He morphed again. Link opened his eyes. He was himself again.

"Interesting, I think I know how this works now."

He gave Tetra his hand and she took it. But when she got up, she embraced him. In fact, she was squeezing the living daylights out of him.

"T…Tetra, I c-can't breathe!"

"Sorry!"

She eased up and kissed him. They held on to each other for a long while. Link took her upstairs to the deck. The pirates praised Link, for he had conquered his evil side. Suddenly Mako shouted, "LAND HO!"

The pirates rushed to the rail, and indeed they saw a large land, stretching for miles. They quickly dropped a cutter and went to shore. Everyone looked around. The place seemed to divide it self into separate realms. Link looked at Tetra, who just jumped on Link, "We did it!"

"Looks that way. I don't see anyone!"

"New Hyrule?"

"New Hyrule!"

The crew stayed for a few weeks and decided to finally leave to bring the Great Sea to here. No one noticed a dark cloud that loomed over the land then disappear. 2 months on the way back, Link learned some startling news. He and Tetra, were expecting their first child.

YAY! They found it! AND they are having a baby! But the story is not, I repeat, NOT over! Much, much more is to come, stay tuned and REVIEW!
