The Final Battle

Chapter 9: Invasion of Windfall

Moblins jumped off the Ghost Ship late at night at the Windfall beach. Everyone was asleep. The Moblins were an army. After dropping the last hundred off, the Ghost Ship sailed off once more. Ten Moblins seized the bomb shop. They pillaged the shop till it was clean of bombs, and then they left.

"Place them over here, by the gate, one by lock, yes," the Commanding Moblin ordered growlingly. "We're taking this place by storm."

They lit the bombs and ran away. They waited. The bombs blew. A huge explosion occurred. They crept from their hiding places. Nothing. The gate was still standing.

"What the"-

From the top of the gate, Windfall soldiers jumped down, landing on the heads of some Moblins, and killing them. "ARG!" Swords were being clashed, spears were being thrown. All Moblins retreated back to the beach and kept the fighting there. The fighting lasted well into the morning and throughout the day.

Since school was cancelled, four kids met at the gates. It was the Killer Bees. It was time for their first fight against Ganondorf's forces. "Alright, gate's closed, but we'll take the stairs and jump down. Slingshots ready?" Ivan asked.

All Killer Bees took their shots out.

"We need rocks, and bombs wouldn't do too badly either. We'll take the spare ones dropped. I'm sure there're some. Ready? Alright, let's go." Ivan led them all up the stairs of the gate. They crouched down so none would see them. "Right. We'll jump down and roll behind a bush, k?"

"Right," they replied quietly.

"Will we make it out of this alive? I never thought this would be my last fight," Jan whispered.

"Doesn't matter," Ivan said quietly. "Just follow my lead. Alright, down!" They dropped down. They rolled behind a bush. A lot of Moblins were already down. The Killer Bees rose from the bush. Ivan stepped out bravely and called, "We're calling all you out!" he yelled in a rowdy boy tone.

Few Moblins turned to the Bees. There were four kids, standing, holding slingshots. They smiled evilly, and ran at them. "Charge!" Ivan ordered.

Three kids rushed out from behind Ivan and into the Moblins. Slingshots were little use. They used their heads, literally. Ivan stomped one down, and then took a shot out. "Take that!" The Moblin received a huge blow on the head. The kids crowded over them. Ivan stole a spear from one of them, and threw it into another.

Meanwhile, over at Dragonroost, Prince Komali was in bed, heavily bandaged. The Chieftain was over him. The door opened. Quill walked in, leading The Hero of Winds in as well. Link walked over to Komali's bed and bent down.

"Link wanted to pay his respects," Quill said. "Is he ok?"

"He's fine," the Chieftain said, looking over at his son. "I think he'll be fine."

"Dad, Quill, can you leave us a bit?" Komali asked calmly. "I want to talk to Link alone."

The two Rito left, leaving the Prince alone with Link, who looked at Komali, shocked. "Never thought it'd happen to you. You ok?"

Komali nodded. "I'm alright. Kind of weird though. Heh, it's really hot. You never felt anything like it, I swear."

"Maybe I don't want to," Link laughed. "Really shocked me. Last thing I want is for you to die in this dispute."

"Dispute," Komali scoffed. "More like a war. I hate that cruel son of a bitch. Who raised him anyway?"

"Ganondorf, I have no idea, you'll have to ask the Hero of Time," Link shook his head. "Heck, I'll ask him. That's a question that I've actually been wondering for quite some time now as well. I think he was Gerudo, you know?"

"What're Gerudo?" Komali asked.

"I have no idea," Link said, shaking his head. "So, what happened anyway?"

"Well, the Flaro were sensed coming toward Dragonroost. I went out to supervise the battle. I was caught in it. They did a number on me. We held them off. Now, ah, at least it worked out for the island. I dunno about me."

"You'll be ok, I promise," Link swore. "You're awake, aren't you?"

"I'm not so sure," Komali whispered. "Take care of yourself alright? I… I always considered you my best friend after what you've done for us. Thank you, Link. You are a real Hero. The Hero of Winds. Thanks."

Link nodded, "No problem."

The two stayed up the whole night conversing. At midnight, the two actually ventured outside at the top most balcony branch of Dragonroost. They sat on a balcony overlooking the entire sea. "Hmph, looks pretty nice. Maybe I'll take Medli out here one day? What do you think?"

"I think it's a great idea," Link said. "She likes looking after you."

"I don't," Komali shrugged. "I prefer being a bit more independent."

"Do you like her?" Link asked.

"Kind of," Komali shrugged. "I knew her since we were very little. She's a bit older than me by few months. What about you?"

"I think Tetra likes me," Link laughed. "She's so shy sometimes. Heck, I call her 'Tets' sometimes, just to see how she'd react."

"Princess Zelda Tetra?" Komali asked. "The pirate girl?"

Link nodded, "That's the one. Well, she's a pirate, I'm an honest guy. I don't think she's my type. Besides, Gonzo likes her. Leave her to him. It doesn't matter to me. I think I'm gonna stay alone. Traveling the sea. Discovering new islands."

"I'll go with you," Komali replied. "I've always wanted to venture out. We'd travel on that boat of yours. Where is it? I haven't seen it in a while?"

"At the oasis, kept safe, hidden," Link answered. "I usually use the pirate ship."

"Why? To spend more time with Tets?"

"No," Link said quickly, blushing.

"Don't kid yourself, Link," Komali laughed. "I know your feelings."

Link forced the blush off and shook his head, "I dunno. We'll see. I might settle on Windfall for a vacation home."

"Hey, did you hear, Windfall was attacked last night," Komali said, just remembering.

"Yeah, I heard about that," Link said, looking up. "The Killer Bees fought in the battle too, you know?"

"Are they ok now?" Komali asked. "A bunch of rowdies. I hate rowdies."

"Well, at first we didn't get along so well," Link said. "Then I put them straight. Now, they're ok. At least they go to school now and then."

"Yeah, that school of joy," Komali said, shrugging it off. "What about educational schooling."

"Well, Mrs. Marie teaches both, just in a joyous way," Link explained. "She gave me the deed to my oasis home. I'll never forget that. I like that home. It's got everything I need. If I fixed the room under the fireplace, I'd have a secret hang I can stay. How about that?"

Komali shrugged. He looked around. "It's gonna get light. Do you wanna stay up?"

"Let's," Link decided. "It's the one peaceful night anyone's gonna have for a long time. Just let me know if this island gets attacked any other time. I'll raid Ganondorf's fortress myself, backed with the entire pirate gang if it happens. I swear, I will."

Komali put his arm around Link. "Thanks for helping us out, Link. We really appreciate it."

"No problem man," Link said, patting Komali on the back. "No problem. At least Dragonroost isn't the only one threatened. Hyrule and all its forces are in danger. I worry about them."

"Most live forever," Komali said quietly. "Kokiri, even Gorons are immortal."

"I envy those kids," Link said, shrugging.

"You know, Rito are immortal too," Komali let him know.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, dude, we're sky spirits," Komali reminded him. "We live, but if we're killed, we're dead. I mean, it can happen still. Just like Gorons and Kokiri have a chance of dying."

"I don't believe it," Link said quietly. "So many have- I wish I could."

"You can, as a Kokiri," Komali said.

"Yeah but, I wanna see my family again," Link said, looking down. The waves hit softly against the rocks below. "If they lived. Me and my sister… we'd become Kokiri. She'd love that."

"Heh, they'd love it if you stayed for the world, forever, with friends like me, helping people who need it," Komali pointed out wisely. "Think about it."

Link shrugged. "I dunno. We'll see. I have to think very seriously about it."

A/N: No, they're not gay.
