Chapter 12: Medli the Rito Shines! The Unexpected Hero!

"I hope you're ready, you filthy pirates!" Medli telled as she ran forward, followed by Navi. Medli raised her wings and swung at a bokoblin standing near her, and he raised his weapon, a spear, to attack. She hit the spear and it cracked in two, leaving him defenseless. He turned to flee as she ran and grabbed his shirt with her talons and flew up in the air. As she flew up, she flung him and she swooped back down to the battle. He was flung pretty far, and he fell over the edge of the mountain, down into the world below.

Navi ran toward the bokoblin off to the sidelines that had checked the dead bokoblin, and swung at him with her staff. The sphere of the staff was lit up, providing an extra boost in her swing. She hit the bokoblin in the face, sending him flying into the cell area Medli was held up in, killing him on impact.

Medli and Navi both turned their attention to the last remaining bokoblin and the two moblin. The last bokoblin ran toward Navi. She ignored him and slid past him. He turned his head and looked at her, and was then met by Medli. Medli took the bokoblin and sliced at him with her wing. His face writhed in pain as his body was thrown across the arena into a wall. Navi stood in front of the last two enemies on the mountain, the moblin. "Oh…that's right…you guys." Her stomach dropped. A moblin is five times stronger than any bokoblin that sail the seas. And right in front of Navi and Medli stood two of them.

"Come on Navi, surely you can't be scared! What would Link do?" Medli, trying to encourage her, shouted. Navi thought back to her previous adventures with Link. Even when poisoned and on his death bed, he raised his sword to the sorcerer Rogamoth. When faced with a deadly shark in a reef, he didn't give up, and he slayed the beast without flinching. And when Link could barely walk, he stood and fought off multiple bokoblin. And now that he is out for the moment, it was time for Navi to stand up and fight for Link.

"If we die now, all that Link has fought for these past many days will be for nothing…" Navi stared them in the eyes and grunted. "You ready to die?"

"Just like that wretched green hat, so cocky." The first moblin said as he raised his saber. To Navi's dismay, he turned and tried to stab at Link instead of her. He landed on the ground, stabbing straight through the rubble. Navi's face went pale and Medli's eyes grew wide. "Ugh…the saber's stuck! He isn't even here!" Both Navi and Medli were completely frozen in fear. "Where are you, you freaking green hat!"

"Up."

"Hu-" were his final words...or rather, sounds. Link, while the moblin, Medli, and Navi talked, managed to regain consciousness and had climbed up on top of where the cell used to stand, near Valoo. When the moblin turned to attack, and found no one there, Link prepared to charge. When the moblin found that he wasn't there, Link knew his fate was sealed. He lunged off the top of the cell and aimed directly at the moblin. The last thing the moblin saw was Link's face, swollen and determined, as his sword slowly emerged into the moblin's chest.

"Captain Suto!" The other moblin yelled. "You've done it now!" Link turned to face the moblin, unwavering in stance. "Prepare to meet your doom!"

"Not today." Link grimly said. As soon as the moblin was in front of him, Link raised his shield to block his spear. It pushed Link backwards, putting force on his legs. He screamed in agony as the moblin continued to press down harder. "This isn't fair…." Link thought. "My leg isn't in a good condition…"

The moblin laughed viciously as he continued to press down on his victim. "Hahahahaha, you're making this too easy green hat. I would have expected you to put up more of a fight!" The moblin taunted and he and Link continued their stalemate. He pushed down harder, until Link gasped for air, his face in such an agony that not even the coldest hearted killer could witness.

"This is…this is the death of me…" Link thought. His vision was blurred and his eyes began to close. To his surprise, he fell forward and onto the ground. "That moblin must have moved back to swing…he's coming for me now." But there was no hit, or stabbing, or anything from the moblin. Link looked up, finding no one standing there. He rolled on his back and looked up into the sky to find a mysterious figure floating in front of the sun.

"You freakin' bird girl!" The moblin yelled from up high. "Let me go!"

"Poor choice of words." Medli chuckled as she dropped him. He fell, shrieking and clawing for the sky. Valoo, the great sky spirit, reached out his long neck and snatched the moblin. The moblin's bloody cries rang through the mountains as Valoo crushed his body with his powerful teeth. Once his body was crushed and he was long gone, Valoo threw him into the air and breathed fire toward him. The fire was so hot that the flame was a bright white, and the only thing that fell from the sky was white ashes.

Medli glided back down to Navi, who was attending to Link. "His leg is pretty bad…" Navi worriedly thought.

"He'll be okay as long as we can get him down the mountain quickly." Medli said, as though reading her mind. Medli picked up Link on his bad side, and slapped him back into consciousness. Once he awoke, Medli and Link began to walk toward the outside of the arena, over the bodies of the bokoblin. Navi turned into her fairy form as she followed. Once at the edge of the mountain outside the arena, Medli grabbed Link by his shirt and jumped off the mountain, gliding down to the bottom. Navi followed, floating down.

At the bottom of the mountain, Medli put down Link gently, and then stood on his bad side and helped him walk. Navi soon met with them and floated by Link. Once they walked into the entrance of the mountain into the Rito tribe, they were flooded by older Rito. One of which was a peculiar man with a picto box, who flashed his camera and took a snapshot of Link. Medli pushed them all away and yelled for a doctor to come and assist Link immediately.

Medli pushed her way through the crowd in the center, as well as walking over a couple of wounded soldiers who lay on the ground being treated. Finally she got to the entrance of the long corridor, and helped Link hobble down to her room…where she found the door blasted off and a dead Rito warrior inside. "I'm…sorry about the room…" Link huffed out. She ignored his words and put him on her bed and propped up his leg. She turned toward the Rito warrior, picked him up and dragged his body outside. Once she had done all she could do for Link, she walked out to go attend to the other wounded.

"Navi…" Link whispered out. Navi turned from fairy to human, and stood beside him. "You did a good job defending these people…"

"You were the one who took out a majority of those pirates, Link."

"But without you, I would have died, as would Medli and the other Rito. So thank you." He whispered out his words, and then laid back to rest. While he was resting, the peculiar Rito came back from earlier. He carried the picto box around his neck, as though a fancy necklace.

"Can I ask what you want? He needs his rest." Navi said blatantly.

"I'm part of the Rito tribe, I want to document this moment. You people are our heroes."

"Don't you need to be helping the wounded instead of documenting this?" Navi said, and her anger blared in her voice.

"Just smile, it'll be done soon. Then I will help the wounded." Navi, figuring it'd be better to get it over with, smiled a big smile. He snapped the picture, thanked her and walked out.

"What a weird guy…" Navi thought. She shrugged it, and then attended to Link's wounds. He had a couple of cuts on his face, as well as a big gash from being smacked by the bokoblin from earlier. Obviously, his leg had opened up from all of his movement and action, causing tons of bleeding and torn tissue. To the best of Navi's abilities she cleaned the wound, wrapped it up and covered it with a special ointment to provoke healing.

After attending Link, Navi sat down and stared up into the ceiling. After a few hours, after dark had fallen, Medli returned with a doctor. The doctor checked out his wounds and fixed his tissue to the best of his abilities. However, the pain from this was horrid, and Link awoke from a deep sleep to the sheer pain. Link was calmed, however, and his leg was completely fixed.

"Well'p, Link, I hate to say it, but even with all of our medicine, it'll be about another month before you can walk completely again." The doctor said. Link looked down in dismay, upset that his adventure was struck short for the time being. Nether the less, he accepted his obstacle.

Later that night, the Rito decided to reward their heroes with a feast. Link ate his heart out, eating a meal that was probably good for six people. Navi and Medli ate like regular girls, however, eating only the normal amount of food. Link also took part in a drinking contest. Even at his young age, Link drank four giant cups of wine, beating a majority of the Rito. Link was very merry and joyful that night, more so than he had been the past weeks they had been out, and he drank his sadness of lack of adventure away.

Link slept through the next day completely because of all of his partying. 'Nuff said.

The next day, however, Link awoke mid-morning to find Navi and Medli talking. Link's leg was wrapped up and he was stuck in bed. He and Medli talked all that day, and Link, Medli and Navi hung out with each other for two weeks.

Link told Medli about all of his adventures, with Captain Mobogo on Outset, the storm he hit before he met Navi, Rogamoth the sorcerer on the Southern Fairy Island, even the shark and watch tower they ran into before they came to Dragon Roost.

Little did they know, however, that outside Medli's room in the corridor, stood the peculiar Rito. He listened to the details of Link and Navi's adventure greatly, jotting on a notebook all the things that he heard. Once Link was done describing his adventures, the Rito mysteriously snuck away, never to be seen. In fact, he wasn't even acknowledged by the other Rito. As mysteriously as he came, he left.

One night, he waited until midnight, once everyone was asleep, and flew off the island. He flew far north for hours, until he was off the map of the great sea, entering a new sea region. He landed on a small island, about twice the size of Outset, and walked into the only standing building on that island. The building was a large stone one, consisting of a majority of canons on the outside. It had a path leading down to a dock, and it held twelve small ships, each loaded with canons as well.

Once inside, he wandered around until he came to a large room, into which he entered. "Captain," He said in a low voice. "I have a new one for you." The Rito walked over to a weird machine, hooked his picto box to it, and printed out two pictures. He put the first one on a desk, and it revealed the picture of Link that he took weeks before. Link was in his normal clothes, but his face was written with exhaustion and was covered with cuts and a nasty gash on his left cheek. In the background, Navi was floating in fairy form, behind Link.

He laid down a second picture, revealing the picture he took of Navi. She was sitting in a chair in her regular attire (that is, her gray robe and hair in a bun.), smiling widely. Once the man placed the photos down, he continued to talk. "These two kids are pirates. The one in green is the captain." He continued to explain that they are more dangerous than they appear. He told the man he was talking to all of Link's adventures and battles, describing how he'd taken out the 5th division of the Boko Boko pirates alone, and how Link and Navi took back the watch tower they had lost weeks before. He also mentioned the sorcerer Rogamoth, who had a 500,000 rupee bounty, was killed by Link in the Southern Fairy fountain, and how Link bravely slaughtered more than a dozen bokoblin and the moblin leader, who had a 1,500,000 rupee bounty, of the 2nd division on Dragon Roost Island.

"Sir, I recommend we bounty this boy at once, as well as the girl he's traveling with. If they continue to grow at a rate like this, who knows how much peace they will disturb." He ceased to talk, and the captain was deep in thought.

"Place a bounty on both of their heads at once. You may name any price you wish." The captain stood up and turned around, facing a window that led out into a courtyard. "Alert the navy to head south to Dragon Roost now." He turned toward the Rito and fell silent.

"Show him no mercy."
