The War Begins
Chapter 14: Outset Friends
The King of Red Lions was still on the Private Oasis, and Link, the Hero of Winds, needed transport home. The Hero of Time looked around hopefully. "Is it fit for two?"
"Yes," replied the Hero of Winds. "But we can forget about using it again if we don't get to my oasis."
"Hm, let me try," the Hero Time took out the Ocarina. He put it to his mouth, and played a new song. A Summon Song, to call forth any help the Hero of Time might need. The Pirate Ship soon appeared and let down anchor.
"Did you need us?" Gonzo called from the ship.
"We need a ride to Outset!" the Hero of Time called in reply. "We have no transport!"
"So use a Hylian boat!" Tetra called down, annoyed.
"You know, she does have a point," the Hero of Winds said, looking over at the Hero of Time.
"Well, excuse me for forgetting that the castle I haven't seen in hundreds of years has boats!"
Tetra shook her head, and called back, "Just get on, we'll take you as far as the Oasis, and you can get your boat from there!"
"This is gonna take a while," the Hero of Time said, nodding, once they were on board. "I believe it's a one week sail to Outset from the oasis."
The Pirate ship used as much speed as possible. In a couple hours, they reached the oasis. After seeing the ship sail off, The Hero of Winds took the boat, the baton, and conducted the Ballad of Gales. Both kids in the boat, they appeared by Outset island. They got on land and set off toward Orca's house.
"So, you say a war is coming, and could use my help," Orca got straight. "You should know I am an old man, and need quiet in my life."
"There will be no quiet time if you don't come forward," the Hero of Time said pointedly. "See, once the war strikes, Outset, no, the whole world would be destroyed."
"Outset has little armed forces to spare," the Hero of Winds recalled. "If you help us, it'll count as a lot. Summon the Outset Army, all of it, and help us out."
Orca sat, eyes closed, outside on the grass. He listened with attention. They both had a point. Soon, Outset would be destroyed. Already Ganondorf destroyed Greatfish Isle. It would only be a matter of time when Outset met the same fate. "Alright, I will."
"Great!"
"WAIT!" a voice called behind them. The two heroes spun around. There was Joel and Zill, running towards them. "We're in too, we're not letting this one slide by, not this time!"
"But"-
"Outset has plenty of supply for weapons, we can use a sword," Zill said.
"Already we use sticks, which are similar, aren't they?"
"Joel, we"-
"We're gonna follow you, no matter what," Joel said, arms folded.
"Youth are always tempted by what elders do," Orca said wisely. "It'd be unwise to let them in, yet unwise to leave them out."
"Stuck between two stupid decisions, yet, they may be useful," the Hero of Time said more to himself. "I certainly don't have a problem with it."
The Hero of Winds closed his eyes, and then said, "Alright then."
"YES!" Joel screeched.
They had no choice. Orca advised both ways, but even so, they'd have to be kept safe until the time came. The two heroes had to summon the Pirate Ship to fit all these passengers. The Outset Army started patrolling the island, and within days, the Pirate Ship came. "Aryll, take care of my boat, ok?"
Aryll nodded eagerly.
"Don't go far, and take care of grandma for me!" the Hero of Winds called down as the ship set away again.
"Yes, big brother, good luck, Link!"
The ship was soon gone. The two heroes, Orca, and the two brothers arrived at the Oasis once again within three days. The Oasis was to be used as a small base. Link had the butler let Orca and the two kids in, and then the two Heroes set off to Windfall, to return to the oasis in a few days. Aryll turned around to head back home, but instead, what she saw was much worse. It was a large, green-faced man. He raised his hands in triumph, laughing. An army of Moblins rushed in too, to combat the Outset Army.
