SSBM Master: I would like to apologise for not updating sooner but I couldn't get on the @#/*& site for some reason. I would also like to apologise for the absence of our green clad hero Link in this story, which is why I am happy to report that he will be appearing in this chapter. Also over the next few chapters, the mysterious new figure James will reveal how he knows about Tetra/Zelda and why he is looking for Link. Plus a few more surprises! Enjoy! (I do not own Zelda etc etc)

Chapter 4: Enter LINK!
For a few moments Tetra just stood there maintaining her cold stare but inside she felt quite different. Who is this person? How did he know about what happened in Hyrule? Did Link tell him? Link never mentioned this guy before and the white hair makes him pretty easy to recognise. There was only one thing for it.
"Gonzo, go get yourself patched up at the bar." She said to Gonzo. "The rest of you better go with him and make sure he doesn't get into any more street fights
"Miss…Tetra…" Gonzo grunted, "Maybe one of us should stay here in case…"
"Are you implying that I can't look after myself?" Gonzo faltered under her stare "Good now get lost, all of you." Reluctantly, the pirates all slunk off into Windfall. Tetra turned back to the new figure. "How did you…?"
"Not here," said the figure looking over his shoulder to make sure that the pirates were out of earshot. "I don't know how far his influences go. Lets go back to your ship." Tetras wondered for a moment who "he" was but then nodded and lead the figure back to the ship. Once they were in her quarters she asked,
"What do you want?"
"I need to find Link" he replied
"What do you want with him?"
"I am not going to tell everything to you and then repeat it to him." The figure said rubbing his eye sleepily. "Either you do whatever you do when you want to see him or I'll go find him myself." Tetra paused for a moment wondering what she should do and then walked over to her desk. She opened one of the drawers and then took her small gossip stone. "What's that?" the figure asked.
"Gossip stone." Answered Tetra. "Link has one too. I can talk to him through it."
"Well then please tell him that someone has an urgent message for him and he should come here as quickly as possible." Tetra nodded and focused on the small stone. It glowed green as she spoke into it.
"Link…?" she said "Link can you hear me?" Tetra took some pleasure in looking at the stunned look on the figures face when Link's voice came through the gossip stone.
"Yes," said Link. He sounded tired as though he had been asleep "What's up?"
"I need to see you now." Tetra could hear Link yawn through the stone
"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" he asked. Tetra looked at the figure, who shook his head vigorously.
"No, there's someone here who says he needs to speak with you urgently. He also says to come as quickly as possible." Tetra said to the stone "We're on Windfall Island. Come to my ship." Tetra paused "I think he's serious." She added.
"All right I'll be there in a minute." Said Link. The stone suddenly stopped glowing and Tetra slipped it into her pocket "He's probably several miles away but Link has a way of travelling long distances quickly. Now," she said, turning back to the figure. "How do know about Hyrule?"
"Err… what's Hyrule?" The figure asked
"You know about Zelda but not about Hyrule? Tetra said sounding exasperated. The figure started to pace the room.
"All I know is that Gannondorf kidnapped a twelve year old girl called Zelda, a.k.a you and held her prisoner in a land below the sea 6 years ago."
At this point, Tetra felt a strong breeze flow through the wood of the ship. Her ship was well built and normally kept wind out but she had noticed this happen every time Link was about to arrive. Almost as if the wind outside suddenly became very strong and then died down again. The figure seemed to notice too but didn't pay it any attention.
"Then," he continued pacing the room. "Another 12 year old called Link came and defeated Gannondorf. That's all I know about what happened to you and Link back then."
"And how did you find out about that?"
"One of the high ranking moblin guards told guards told me."
"Just like that?" Tetra asked disbelievingly
"Course not." Said the figure darkly. He stopped pacing and picked up a letter opener that was lying on Tetra's desk. "I had to…persuade him to talk." He put the letter opener down.
"But what made you think he had anything to tell?" Before James could answer, the door opened and a teenager about 18 years old walked through the door. He had green clothes and hat. His hair was blond and there was a sword and shield of elegant design on his back.
"I'm here," Said Link. What's up?
******************************
SSBM Master: OK I know that Link hasn't had much of a part yet but from now on he will be a main character. Plus I will tie all the loose ends with James on the next chapter. Until then, (Read and review!)
