Around The Great Sea in 49 Doomed Days

Chapter One: The Doomed Horseshoe

Horseshoe Island could not look more boring. My home of Outset was right to the east, and that still had 2 days before being doomed, so I wanted to go there, not here. That had my sister and grandma. There, not here.

"Well, what now, 'Great Hero'." Tetra snickered. Fucking Farore, why do I always feel myself melt when she simply looks at me? Gah, gotta think more about the mission. But those eyes..

"Um, Link? What are you doing?" Oh shit. She must've seen me staring. And damn, how long was I staring for? It's so dark, all of a sudden.

Out of fucking nowhere, a bolt of black lightning struck down the center of the island. Warships rose from deep violet waves, and the sky turned a dark purple.

Horseshoe Island was doomed.

I quickly sailed to the borders of the island in an attempt to escape, but there was a psychic barrier blocking the way. Emblazoned on that barrier was an image of a blue scroll, something I immediately recognized as a Treasure Chart. I had to go back to the island.

Upon arriving, a burst of bright blue lightning struck and a blue ChuChu arose from the light. I had to admit, for such a pussy-ish enemy, he had a pretty dramatic entrance.

THAT was the island's great threat of doom? Pfft, give me a break. What turned out to be waiting on doomed Horseshoe Island was a game of GOLF. With walnuts. Blew right past.

REALLY simple.

But then…

A bolt of dark green lightning slammed into the surface of the island, and a hole opened up in the ground. I heard the muffled sound of buzzing, wings flapping, and…Tetra screaming?!

I immediately jumped into the hole, and met with 3 Mothulas.

"Link! HELP!" Tetra was tied in a cocoon on the ceiling.

Morbid, much?

I took out my now degraded sword, and slashed out 1 Mothula, when the other one sprouted wings and flew at me. I grabbed onto one of the wings, snipped it right off, and jabbed the thing in the eye.

The third one had a different plan. Where the lightning struck, there was a poisonous mist surrounding the center of the room. The Mothula flew around in it, got engulfed in it, and it turned dark purple with glowing red wings.

A Doomed Mothula. I had the strangest feeling there were more doomed enemies somewhere. But at that time, saving Tetra was the only thing that mattered to me. The sword in my hand contained no light, but something gave me confidence enough to run at it.

Yeah, turns out Doomed monsters aren't easy as normal ones. I was hurled into a cocoon too. And thank Nayru my grandma insisted on giving me those year-long sewing lessons. Mostly how to UNdo stitches is what I was grateful for. Breaking out of that cocoon was hard work.

I don't know how I did it, but my dinky little sword split its eye apart, and the thing exploded. The poisonous mist subsided, compacted, glowed, and BOOM, out of nowhere, a treasure chest. It contained a Treasure Chart!

I quickly ran out of that cave, back to the boat, ready to sail to Outset…

When I realized I forgot Tetra.

BlahblahblahstabstabTetraYou'reFree!

And NOW she's there, and the barrier shatters.

Hopefully, Outset won't be doomed. Yet.

The plot of the "Doomed" enemies comes from the Ing infection from Metroid Prime II.

Special Shoutout to shadows-of-ballance for my first review.

DISCLAIMER: Outset Island will be a LONG chapter. Maybe even more than one, seeing as I'm doing a FULLY DETAILED Savage Labyrinth run.

Kthxbye.
