CHAPTER ONE

"Wake up, Link...wake up..."

It was the King's voice...or was it?

"Come on, Link, I need you to put up the sail..."

It was the King!

Link gave a groan and the King chortled. "I see that you are awake, Waker of Wind. I've traveled about two thirds of the way to Windfall without a sail. As soon as I saw the Helmaroc King, I knew that Dragman Ganon must be alive, my accused enemy!" roared the King of Red Lions. Link stood up in the boat and put his hand to his head where it had been bleeding. There was dried blood on his head. Link dipped his hands into the salt water and began to rub it against the cut. He then opened the sail and directed the wind with the Wind Waker. He began to sail to Windfall Island.

"So, Link, what happened?" asked the King.

"Well, I heard Aryll scream, and so I ran up to the Faerie Forest. The Bird King was attacking them, so I ran to attack the bird and he hit me with his talon, and he captured Aryll again...and then stole Zill and stole Joel...I jumped to save them, but fell in the water."

"Then ye blacked out and I came up," the King finished quietly.

"Yes."

Link sat down moodily in his boat. He slapped himself in the face and pulled out the Wind Waker. He played the Ballad of Gales and warped to Windfall Island.

"Yes, uhh, I would have told you to do that, but, you were, uhh..." The King abandoned making an excuse as Link leapt from the boat.

"Doc Bandam will give you a potion for that wound." The King held out a bottle and mumbled, "I have some of your Grandma's soup, but you may want to use that for later."

It was very quiet on Windfall Island. Not even the Killer Bees were out.

"Doc Bandam!" Link pounded on the Potion Shop door, since it was locked. "Doc Bandam! Open uh-up! It's me, Link, Hero of Wind!"

The door opened as he said this and Link was pulled inside. Doc Bandam looked suspiciously at Link and then nodded.

"What do you want, boyo?" asked Doc Bandam.

"Potion...for my wound, y'see," explained Link, nervously holding out the empty bottle.

Doc Bandam filled the bottle with potion and handed it back. Link drank it gratefully and paid for it. He then paid for another and stashed it away.

Back at Outset Island, there was a rare argument going on.

"I'm glad that your scruffy grandkids are gone! They were making a bad example for our precious Yaphet!" Uriel yelled at Grandma.

"'Scruffy grandkids'?! I'll have you know that my grandson is a direct descendant of the Hero of Time!" Grandma yelled back.

"Ha! Link is a mangy hobo!" shouted Arella. "Yaphet is the descendant! Yaphet is!"

"Link is the Hero of Wind! If it weren't for him then the world would be covered in shadows!" Orca hollered at the angry and pompous parents.

"No! It was Yaphet! Yaphet is the perfect man!" Uriel screamed. "That boy of yours is probably in cahoots with Ganondorf Dragmire!"

The Island rang with his words. Orca hefted his spear and growled, "Repeat that again, boyo."

"Well, I, uh, that is, to say the very least..." blustered Uriel.

Orca threw the spear. Uriel and Arella screamed as it hit the sand in front of them.

"Repeat it, Uriel," snarled Orca. He advanced to the couple and yanked the spear from the sand.

Yaphet, a boy with black hair and hazel eyes, crept along, trying to get to a boat. He saw Beedle's boat and began edging towards it.

"Yaphet, son, come here!" yelled Uriel.

Yaphet broke cover and ran towards Beedle's ship. He dove into the water and panted at Beedle, "Sir, how fast can you get to Windfall Island?"

"Ohhhhh! As fast as you need." Beedle smiled and began to advertise his Hyoi Pears and All-Purpose Bait.

"Here, take this red Rupee! Now hurry this boat! Quickly!" Yaphet grabbed a Hyoi Pear and ate it as the boat raced away from Outset.

On Windfall Island, everyone was inside. It began to get dark. Link drew his Skull Hammer anxiously.

Chuchus began to arise from the ground. Electric Chuchus, Dark Chuchus, and normal Chuchus. Then Link heard familiar noises that he had only heard a while ago...

"Duh-dink, duh-dink."

There were Moblins and Bokoblins coming out of every crack and crevice. Boko Babas arose from the ground. There were Mothulas and ReDeads. Stalfoes and Wizzrobes were testing their clubs and powers. Skulls arose from the ground and turned into Blue and Red Bubbles. Kargoroks and Keese flew down from the sky. Poes appeared out of thin air, wielding lanterns. Link gasped. But the terror did not end there. From the gloom of Windfall Island came a Mighty Darknut, with many other Darknuts following. Link held his Skull Hammer but realized but he could not parry with it. Link cursed under his breath. Why hadn't he gotten the Master Sword out of Ganondorf head? Why? It easier to leave it there. No it was not. He could have pulled it out of the stone! But, in his time of panic, he had left the sword there.

Suddenly, a ReDead came closer to him.

'He's just moving! He's not coming to me. He has not spotted me,' Link thought hurriedly. Link leapt up and began to run to the King of Red Lions. The ReDead gave a piercing scream and Link was frozen. The ReDead began to drag its feet towards Link. Just as it was about to attack, Link unfroze. He ran to the King, pulled out his Wind Waker, and began playing the Ballad of Gales as he leapt into the boat.

Link ran to Orca's house and panting out, "Orca! I need a weapon!" A spear was suddenly at his throat. "Orca! It's me, Link!"

Orca lowered his spear and peered at Link. "Great Goddesses, 'tis you, Link! How did ye get here so quickly?"

"Wind Waker. Anyways, I need a sword and fast!" Link panted.

Orca took his finest sword from his collection of weapons and handed it to Link. Link swung the sword and then smiled, "Thanks Orca! I better hurry. Windfall's being attacked!" Orca looked anxious as he replied, "May the Goddesses look down upon you with smiles, Waker of the Wind!"

Yaphet growled, "Can this boat go any faster?"

"Ohhhhh, of course it can!" Beedle smiled. The boat picked up its pace. Yaphet turned to Beedle.

"Okay, I have this many rupees. Can I buy any sort of weapon with it?" asked Yaphet anxiously, spilling his rupees from his pockets. He kept twenty, though, to pay for things he might get at Windfall Island. Beedle gathered up the rupees, counting. He pushed them all into a bag and then pulled out a dirk, handing it to Yaphet. "Ohhhhh, here it is! A dirk for you, boyo." Yaphet took the dirk and looked outside. He saw Windfall Island and Link was approaching a huge mob of enemies. Yaphet leapt from the boat, shouting, "Thanks Beedle!"

Link approached a Bokoblin from behind and slashed his back. Blood poured down and the foe turned, his machete raised. Seeing that the enemy was the boy who had sealed his master in stone got him angrier. He gave a shriek and the creatures were aware of Link's presence. Link held out Orca's sword, which he realized used to be his own. Suddenly, a figure came towards him. Another enemy? No! It was...

"I'll help you!" yelled Yaphet, lashing out at a Wizzrobe. The Battle for Windfall had begun.

() Well? Did it leave you in suspense? Sorry that I didn't make it longer, but I felt like making you wait. Haha! I'm just going to submit this and then boom! Got to work on the other chapter! Bye. ()
