Chapter 1: Where It All Begins
The Zoras were getting rather restless when their teacher - Professor Urrica - had made them repeat the same sound over and over again. They were in their Singing class, which was suppose to be fun, until they hit a dead lock.
"No, no, no!" Professor Urrica yelled with frustration. "It is supposed to be pronounced like 'Oah' not 'Owah'. We are in the water right now, so the sound will be distorted. Make it come out from your stomach! You must practice hard! Try again!"
The students groaned as they continued. A few fell asleep on top of their yellow and green colored coral desk, but were soon rewarded with a slap on the back by a coral stick.
The classroom was not big. Small boulders with soft seaweeds on top were aligned in a horseshoe shape. These were the seats for the students to sit on. Small tables were placed in front of the chairs. Since the room was so cramped, only fifteen Zoras could be in the same class. All the students sat closely to each other. So close that sometimes when one was trying to grab a reef pen that had floated away from him or her, he or she would accidentally bump into another Zora's arm. Then the word 'sorry' would appear.
The teacher, professor Urrica, was a Zora also. He was thinner than the others, and much younger in the staff. He was normally nice, though today he was mad with no apparent reasons.
"Ptss, hey Mikau!" a voice called beside the Zoran Hero.
"What?" Mikau whispered as he tried to say the word 'Oah'. "Ooooah! Oooooooh! Owwwah!"
Japas leaned to his friend as he grimaced. "Stop singing the word like you are in a torture chamber! God, a Goron would be happy to marry you!"
Mikau gave a sharp jab with his elbow between Japas' ribs. "So what do you want?"
"As I was saying, what do you think had happened last night that made Urrica so grumpy today?"
"Whaaa?"
Japas brushed away his overgrown fins. He winked at his buddy. "You know, perhaps they had a 'bad night' last night."
Mikau shook his head in disgust. He then went back to his word.
Both Japas and Mikau had been friends since they were little. They both liked music. They could not be separated from each other. Sometimes they would stay in Mikau's bedroom in the Zora Hall, and played songs that they had made using their most treasured guitars. They were like brothers, though their ways of living and their attitudes were completely different. While Mikau was born in a wealthy family, Japas was born in a much poor family. Japas had experienced the taste of parental divorce, and it had nearly blown apart his life, if Mikau had not been with him the entire time.
Japas loved to joke around when he had the chance to do so. Mikau was usually the serious type. He would normally laugh at Japas' jokes when no one else was around.
Their appearances were different also. Mikau was a Zoran Hero; therefore his tail and his fins were extremely long. Two astounding blades could be extended from his arms into an impressive length. Body paint was a sort of a tradition in his family, so he had it on his arms, neck, face, and head. Japas had the features of a rebel actually. Really, his untrimmed long fins would usually fall down to the level of his face and covered his eyes, making him looked more like a renegade from somewhere else than a student. He had much shorter tail and fins, yet he was more muscular than Mikau.
After fifteen years of fooling around in Elementary and High School, both Japas and Mikau were in the Zora University. They lived inside the school with other Zoran students. So basically their parents were not going to be with them for at least four years. Today was the first day of their highest education in Terminal, and they were both excited... sort of.
"Good!" Urrica said when he was satisfied. "Now, open your textbook to chapter four. Today we are going to sing 'Ocean Sun'."
One Zora had his hand up. "Uh, sir?"
Urrica looked up from his book. "What is it?"
"I lost my book."
The teacher sighed as he slammed his volume on top of his desk. The desk was made up of shells, and it made a fine *SLAP* when the book hit the table. Students jumped at the sudden noise.
"When did you last see it?"
The confused Zora pointed right beside his left feet. "It was here a moment ago sir. I swear I didn't loose the book on purpose. I even have my name written on it."
Japas yawned as he leaned toward Mikau again. "Dumb kid. Lost his book on the first day. What's next? Lose himself in this University?" he whispered.
Mikau stared at him. Then he noticed the textbook that Japas was reading. On the front cover, there was a name called Or'an written on it. That was definitely not Japas' name.
"Uh, Japas?"
The Zora turned. Mikau pointed at the tome.
"What?" Japas lowered his head and stared at the cover. "Oh...! Oops!"
He quickly stood up and faced the teacher. "Sir! I have... um... Or'an's book here! I took the wrong book!"
The relieved Zora snatched his workbook back from Japas. "Thank. You!" he muttered coldly.
The class laughed a little. Professor Urrica tapped the table, trying to get the class back in order.
"Okay! That's enough! Turned to chapter four and let's get started!"
Japas sighed as he sat back down. He reached down his left side, and found out that he didn't have the textbook.
"Um... Mikau? Can I read with you?"
* * *
"Why, why, WHY do you have to forget one lousy text?" Mikau complained as he swam through the corridor with Japas.
Both teenage boys had their own guitar strapped onto their back. Mikau had the notes tucked under his arm. Japas was making paper balls with his.
The class was over and Zoras were filling every hallway. A few bumped into Japas by accident. They looked at him once and immediately swam away. Their eyes glued to the floor. Japas looked like a bully with his elongated fins.
Japas frowned as he examined his Empress Crab guitar lovingly. No damage was evident.
"I don't know, I just forgot! But aren't you happy that you can share a book with me?" Japas grinned.
They both turned into another hallway. Mikau yanked Japas' tail. "For your information, I kept on getting your irritating long fins in my eyes! Trim it down for god's sake! Do you know how hard it was to read with you beside me?"
Japas shrugged. They were heading toward the cafeteria. It was lunchtime.
"So where do you plan to eat today?" Mikau asked as he scanned the area.
The canteen had three levels and a transparent dome at the top. The place was piled up with students that tried to get a good spot in one of the seats beside the circular walls. Many of them wanted to eat at the third floor, not because it was quieter, but the view was excellent. Also, they could have more sunlight if they went up higher. Some Zoras just loved the sunshine that had filtered through the ocean water.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I want to swim out away from the school area and catch myself a juicy Shabom." Japas said slowly.
Mikau turned around and faced him. A suspicion was in his eyes.
"You do know the school rule right? Today is the first day of the school, and you wouldn't want to get expelled that fast now, do you?"
"I know, but I just want to eat one of those little Shabom. They are extremely tasty," Japas licked his lips as he smirked.
"Geezes, since when do you like to eat them?"
"One of my friends gave me one before and said it tastes good. So I tried it, and I was in heaven at that time."
"You made it sound like a drug," Mikau pushed Japas lightly away from him. "Fine, go, but come back as soon as possible. Our next class: Music Composition will start in about an hour."
Japas waved a goodbye as he swam away. Another Zora bumped into him and scurried away with terror. Mikau sighed as he grabbed a seat. He took out a mini Shabom and ate it. It popped loudly when he bit into its soft outer covering.
"Well, it is true. They are tasty. Too bad Japas didn't ask for one. I got about ten of them right here," Mikau said as he ate another one with another *pop*.
* * *
Swimming in the vast ocean was very exciting. Along the way to your destination, there were many aquatic animals around you. If you were hungry enough, you could get a free bite any time. Besides the food however, there were many outstanding sceneries surrounding you. If you were an artist, or a writer, you would definitely want to stay in this place and thought about your next piece of creation. But that was not what Japas had in mind right now. In fact, he didn't like Shabom one bit and he probably never will. He was just using that as an excuse to get away from the University buildings, without Mikau tagging along with him.
See, he had found a very interesting tunnel not far from where the school was. And he thought it would be more fun if he went to investigate, alone.
[God, Mikau will be so surprised when I told him what I have found... and I had done.] Japas thought gleefully. [Do I turn left here...? Yes.]
With a sharp bank, Japas headed toward the reefs. No one could find the secret opening between the rocks if they hadn't look closely or if they didn't know where it was. Japas knew. He had accidentally come across this unique place when he went out for a morning swim before the school had started.
He could see the spot now. Just a few more meters of swimming and then he could go into the burrow and look around.
[All right then, let's go in and see what we've got.]
Japas went through the opening. He had to readjust the position of his guitar so that it wouldn't scrap on the walls. Inside, it was extremely dark. He couldn't see a thing in front of him. Suddenly, a violent rush of current pressed against his rubbery stomach. With a yell, he was shot out of the hole like a bullet. Japas hovered in the water, dazed.
[Ok, now what was that all about?] He thought as he brushed his fins away from his eyes.
After a few seconds, the reefs exploded with a bang. Shockwaves thrashed around the young Zora, knocking him all over the place. From the hole, out came a giant purple monster.
[Oh no!] Japas' eyes went wide.
"Morpha!" he screamed as he tried to swim away at top speed.
The giant aquatic amoeba curled and changed shape in the water. Ten huge tendrils surged toward Japas. The Zora twisted and turned, dodging the sweeping motion of the appendages.
He saw a deep fracture at the bottom of the ocean floor. He headed toward it; hoping Morpha couldn't come after him in there.
The ocean monster was gaining. It shot forth one tendril just before the Zora disappeared into the crack. The purplish stem grabbed onto Japas' right leg. He looked back in horror when he felt being pulled back out of the crag.
"No! No! No!" Japas screamed as he tried to kick his legs, but the monster held on tight.
With a desperate mind, Japas held his hands together and pointed two fingers at the tendril. Energies filled the water around him as he focused his power, forcing it to gather at one specific point. Electricity began to appear as the end of Japas' two extended fingers glowed with bright blue light.
[This is nuts! I am going to shock it and myself, with full power!] He thought grimly as he gritted his teeth. [But I have no choice! Either way, I won't survive this!]
Now blue lightening flashed away from Japas. The water was being pushed away from him. More energy were gathering around the center point of the fingers all the while to have Morpha slowly pulled him out of the fracture.
"Eat this!" Japas screamed as he let loose a huge electric shockwave.
The light hit the tendril and his leg. The shock went right through the stem, and up into Morpha's nucleus Both Morpha and Japas screamed with agony as the power continued traveling through their body. In one final burst of blue light, the amoeba let go and drifted away with severe injuries.
Japas floated in the water, unconscious.
* * *
The bell went off when lunchtime was finished. Mikau swam around the school furiously when he didn't see Japas anywhere.
"Hey!" Mikau grabbed one passing Zora by the arm. "Have you seen Japas?"
"Who's Japas? Is he a Bottom-feeder?"
Mikau shook his head as he let the puzzled Zora go. [Where the heck is Japas? I told him to come back as soon as possible!] He thought nervously.
With a heavy heart, the Zoran Hero headed toward his next class. He constantly glancing back, hoping Japas would appear...
* * *
"Oh..." Japas groaned as he stirred.
His whole body seemed like it had shattered. His every bone ached. He tried to see, but everything was so disoriented. He moved his legs trying to stay in an upright position in the water, but he found out that his right leg was numbed to the core.
[What happened to my leg?] He thought as he rubbed his head with his hands. The headache was threatening to crack his skull.
A while later, Japas' vision had cleared. He was in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but pure space... okay! So a few dumb shrimps that didn't know the depths of an ocean were swimming around in circles! Other than that, nothing was moving.
[Where am I?] He turned around as he surveyed the area. [What's going on here?]
He noticed that he had a peculiar instrument strapped behind his back. He reached back and grabbed it. It had some scratches and cracks, but it looked like it was still usable. With a sigh, Japas replaced it back onto his backside He swam slowly, but he kept on stumbling. He still couldn't move his right leg. He was near the place where Morpha had appeared. The site was like a war zone. Broken pieces of rocks in various sizes were everywhere. It seemed as if something had blown apart the reefs and the boulders.
[I don't remember what happened...] Japas thought as he scanned around. He then noticed his body. It was silver and rubbery. He had fins and a tail that looked like a fish. [What am I? Who am I?]
He felt fear. He couldn't remember who he was, or what he was. Everything was wrong. How did he get here? What happened to his leg? Why was he having headaches?
"Who am I?" Japas screamed into the empty ocean. "Tell me!"
No reply. Nothing but emptiness. He coughed as the pain seared into his lungs. He was lost. He was lost!
[Calm down. Calm down. Ok. Maybe swim around to somewhere else could tell me who am I and what am I doing here.]
Making up his mind, Japas began to swim toward north, where the University stood.

Author's Note: Okay. This is my first attempt on writing a story about Japas and Mikau, but mostly about Japas. I haven't finished Zelda 64 yet, so I don't really know all the characters' name and all the details about the locations. Still, I am trying. This story won't be as long as 'Journey to Beyond' because I just want to write a medium-sized plot. It may range in between 10 - 15 chapters, perhaps less. God, I love Zoras! Chapter 2 coming soon.
