Me: People are reviewing by the truckload!

Phoenix: Dude, you only got 4 reviews on the last chapter.

Me: IT'S BETTER THAN TWO!

Phoenix: Whatever.

Me: Answering the pretty little reviews now!

Atchika: It was fun answering your question! And don't worry my story won't be yanked!

MidnightStarfire: The battle was detailed enough? (Phew) That's a relief. Thank you as always!

R.J.: Well, I had to rip off Sinbad! It is one of the best movies! And I believe this motto is true, "You've got to steal from the best, to be the best."

Mimic12355: Thanks for the complements! They all made me smile.

Me: FOUR REVIEWS! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! {Dances around like a nut}

Phoenix: Uh, yeah. I'll start the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Legend of Zelda, and parts of plot from Sinbad, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Treasure Planet.

Chapter 3: Deal!

As the beheaded beast sank into the sea, in it's tentacle struggled Phoenix the pirate. Phoenix knew that if he didn't get any air soon, he would die. With all his might he squirmed and struggled, at the same time trying not to release any of the precious air that was in his lungs. When the monster gave another violent twitch, the tentacle released Phoenix.

Frantically Phoenix swam to the surface, knowing he couldn't hold his breath much longer. Suddenly, for one second, Phoenix glanced at a Gerudo man, watching the pirate like a predator and it's prey. The man smiled sinisterly, and before Phoenix knew what was happening, he was encased in a huge, but fortunately waterless, bubble.

Phoenix gladly released the air trapped in his lungs and started gasping for air. As he looked up, he could now see the same Gerudo man inside the bubble, still smiling. He looked to be about a head taller than Phoenix, with Gerudo style clothes on covering olive green skin. A tuft, sideburns, and a small beard of orange hair were on the man's face. His nose was like a hook, and his cold, red eyes seemed to look into Phoenix's soul.

Soon, the pirate captain decided he had enough air, stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

The man started walking towards the captain, "I am the creator of that and many other monsters. I am the king of the desert. I am Ganondorf."

The pirate didn't seem to be fazed, "Right. Ganondorf. Nice titles by the way. Now," The mischievous glint faded in Phoenix's eyes, "why am I here?"

Ganondorf chuckled at the pirate's question and kept walking. "I am after the same thing you are after, the Book of the Goddesses." Ganondorf then stopped in front of the captain and clenched his fist, "And I intend to get it."

Phoenix still didn't seem the least bit scared. "Ok, now here's the problem. See, I saw it first, and I want to grab the book, sell it to Hyrule, and retire to an island off the coast of Termina. Terribly sorry but, you can't have it."

Ganondorf started to circle around Phoenix, chuckling, "You're not thinking big. Sell the book to Hyrule, and you just get to stay on an island. Give the book to me, and you can buy the island, and Termina, and Hyrule, and the world!"

The pirate's mischievous look returned to his eyes, and he mumbled, "Give the book to you, get rich, I'm home free," he then looked up to the scheming Ganondorf, "So far I don't see a downside to this. It's a deal!"

Ganondorf stopped in front of Phoenix again and smiled, "Then we have an accord." And the two shook hands, sealing the agreement.

Ganondorf chuckled, "Now where were we? Oh yes," he then leaned in close to the pirate and said, "you were holding your breath."

The Gerudo and the bubble then vanished, the air disappearing and Phoenix realizing he was still underwater. He quickly swam up to the surface and looked around him, only to be snatched by Cotan and Hawkins and pulled aboard. As Phoenix landed soaking on the deck, the crew swarmed around him, every one in relief that their captain was alive.

The crew then backed away when Kosaru walked in front of Phoenix and asked, "What the hell happened down there?"

Phoenix stood up and looked at his first mate. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

Kosaru shrugged his shoulders. "Try me."

Phoenix then quickly said, "Alright. So after that monster pulled me down into the sea, I was swimming up to the surface when I saw Ganondorf. He said that he was also after the Book of the Goddesses and we made a deal where I would get the book and give it to him and he would make us rich."

The whole time Kosaru and the crew stood staring at the captain like he was drunk, for Ganondorf was supposed to be sealed away, and then all burst out laughing.

Kosaru was walking away saying through his laughter. "HA HA HA! That's a good one! Ganondorf? Oh I'm writing that down!"

Only Carl stayed behind and asked Phoenix, "So that's it then? No treasure?"

Phoenix looked down at the mischievous Kokri, then at the cargo ship that was sailing away. "Be patient Carl. Besides, we know where it's going."

Link saluted Phoenix with a smile, for he had been worried about the pirate too, then looked at his crew and yelled, "Alright men! Make sail. Our destination is Hyrule!"

The cargo ship then sailed away unaware it was being followed by the pirate ship.

Me: Another cliffhanger. And Phoenix sealed the agreement to destroy the world! (DUM DUM DUUM!)

Phoenix: HEY! I didn't know that Ganondork would try to {I cover his mouth with my hand} mmphff!

Me: Quiet! Are you going to give away the plot? Well anyway...

Both: REVIEW PLEASE!
