Hi dudes! This is my first story, so I may do
something wrong or write a bad story. Oh well. Enjoy!
(And this takes place ten years after Wind Waker.)
(And if this sounds familiar, I used the episodes of
Rurouni Kenshin where Kaoru gets captured by the guy
who does that thing with the eye-paralysis trick.
Don't sue!)
Link: no, go ahead. This guy is annoying.
Me: why you little... unsheathes sword Link: crud...
me:enjoy the story while I teach this dude a lesson
It was a fine day on Link's Island (The place where
one of the Triforce charts is. You know, the place
that you get when you give the teacher enough joy
pendants.). Link came out of the hut. He was tired. It
had been a VERY a long day, as he had just finished
clearing out the basement of ReDeads. After staring at
the sunset, Link began to wonder why he had left the
pirates AND Outset Island. "What the hell am I doing
here?" Link asked himself. "I have to go back to the
pirates to rejoin Tetra and Aryll again!" (Aryll
rejoined the pirates about a year before this story.)
Link set out for his boat, the King of Red Lions. It
had seen better days: the once shiny red paint had
been stained with bright orange when Link was making a
shack to protect the Triforce of Courage. The red and
orange paint had begun to chip and the sail was in bad
need of repair. All this aside, Link stepped into the
boat and hoisted the sail. Link pulled out the wind waker and played Wind's Requiem. The wind blew north and Link set sail.
Link found the pirate ship docked at Windfall Island.
As Link stepped onto shore, his mind was flooded with
memories, like the time he found Tingle in jail and
had to bail him out, the time he befriended a group of
boys (who were probably Aryll's age by now), the time
he helped out Zunari by buying the sail he was using
now... as Link walked up to the café for lunch, he saw
someone familiar at the bench overlooking the ocean.
"Niko? Is that you?" The man turned around and cried
out "Link! I knew I'd see you again!" As Niko moved
forward to shake his hand, Link asked him if he was
still the "bottom rung on the ladder". "Nope, a new
guy took that title. Now, I'm in the galley! (Kitchen
for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking
about)" As Link and his old friend conversed, Link
asked where they were headed to next. "Ask Tetra or
your sister. They still never tell me anything."
As Link stepped into the café, he found that its size
had doubled, both in the size of the store and
profits, as the café seemed crowded. After ordering a
drink, a familiar, but older, voice called out, "So
you came back." Link turned around and spotted Tetra
(Princess Zelda in disguise), the captain of the
pirate's ship. As Link stepped up to greet Tetra, she
just came in, grabbed him, and then gave him an
open-mouth kiss. Some of the people in the bar
clapped. "It's nice to see you to" was Link's reply,
though it sounded as though he were drunk. Someone
else came out of the crowd, but from behind, and
literally attacked Link. "HI BIG BROTHER!" "God, don't
do that again Aryll." "Sorry, I'm just so excited to
see you again! It's been at least nine years since we
last saw you!" more of the pirate crew appeared, some
of the original crew were missing, and some new
members had joined them. Link ordered drinks for all
of them and they found a table where they could
converse freely.
It was Link that asked Aryll where they were headed to
next. "We're headed to Oversight Island. It's not
unlike here, but a little bigger." "Why are you
heading there?" this time, Onarou, a new crewmember,
was the one who replied. "Well, piracy is getting
relatively boring now and..." He was cut off by Tetra,
who smacked him on the head with the flat side of her
sword and started mouthing off about how pirates never
complain about their job. Link, Aryll, and most
everyone at the table burst into raunchy laughter.
Once Tetra was finished and everyone stopped laughing,
she replied "Well, Onarou is partly right: there
weren't a lot of things for us to do to begin with. So
a trade co. on Oversight Island has offered us a
freighting job with god pay." "Well mind if I tag
along?" asked Link. "As long as you give a hand around
the ship." Link sighed: something Niko said had bummed
him out: when Tetra asks for help around the ship, she
meant cleaning. And Link hated cleaning.
Once the pirate ship had reached Oversight Island,
they sent out Link to look for an inn. "But, I'm not
new! You know I passed the rope test years ago!"
"Well, either you live on the ship or you renew your
pirate status every 2 years." Link mumbled as he
exited the ship. He found an inviting in called Lion
Head Inn. However, he thought of changing inns since
the crowd seemed kind of raunchy and violent. One
specific person that worried him was a man who sat in
a dark corner of the lobby who wore a dark robe with a
hood that covered his face. As Link left the building,
he discovered that the man in the cloak was following
him. He ran to the ship and was about to unsheathe his
sword, when the cloaked man disappeared. Tetra was on
the boarding plank and saw Link looking around, one
hand on the hilt of his sword. Ten minutes passed, and
Tetra's patience grew thin. "LINK, YOU STUPID IDIOT!
DID YOU FIND THE #%#$%&$ INN? GOD!" "But..." "Just
find the inn and come back." As Link headed back to
the town, he couldn't help but think why that man was
following him.
It was nearly evening, and Link hadn't returned yet.
Tetra, wondering where Link was, stepped off of the
ship. Mumbling swears under her breath, she went to
every inn in town, looking for him. When she reached
the Lion Head Inn, Tetra found Link asleep on a couch
waiting for his number to be called so he could
reserve a room. "LINK, YOU IDIOT! GET UP NOW!" Link
seemed to either knocked out or just in a heavy sleep.
Tetra slung Link over her shoulder and began the long
trek back to the ship.
Tetra had been walking for a while when she
discovered a huge bruise on Link's head. She also
noticed an evil presence in the air. Tetra pulled out
her cutlass, and was about to attack, when she felt an
intense pain in her neck and fell to the floor,
knocked out cold.
"Link... wake up ... Hello... Earth to Link..." As Link
regained feeling, he looked up to see Aryll, Onarou,
and Niko standing over him. "Where's Tetra?" asked all
four of them at once. "We thought she was with you",
was their reply. "Well, she wasn't. I was knocked out
at..." "YOU WERE WHAT?!" "Hey wait a sec... Link there's
something in your hair." Link removed his hat and
pulled out a piece of paper from his hair. It read:
I have Zelda: either give me Link and the Triforce of
Courage or Zelda dies! Bring Link to Outcast Island by
tomorrow morning or the next time you see Zelda will
be when the currents bring her to you!
"You mean that the captain is the legendary Princess
Zelda?" asked Onarou. Link wasn't listening: he was
already at the King of Red Lions (the pirates put it
in their boat) and hoisting the sail. The King of Red
Lions woke up from another nap and said "Where to,
Link?" "To Outcast Island" was his answer as Windfall
Island fell out of sight.
Hours passed on Outcast Island. "Where is that
loser?" queried the man in the hood. "Well, where ever
he is, he's not going out capturing hot female pirate
captains!!" "You'll learn to regret those words!" was
what Link heard before there was a bright flash of
light and Tetra went limp in her bonds. "TETRA!!" "Ah,
Link. I knew you'd come for your woman." "SHE'S NOT MY
WOMAN!" But the man wasn't listening. He had already
begun his attack. Link had no time to react: he caught
the full force of the magic blast. As Link flew back,
he pulled out his bow and shot a light arrow at the
man. He was knocked back and his coat flew back
revealing the twisted and scarred face of Ganon... or so
it seemed. "Ganon?" "grrr... FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT
GANON! I AM HERE TO AVENGE HIM! I AM HIS BROTHER,
RAIJUTA!" Link didn't listen as he had already jumped
at Themay and was about to strike when in a flash; his
attack was parried by a scimitar. "What'd you do to
Tetra?" "It's a win-win for me: I kill you, she dies.
I die... well that won't happen."
The duel continued well into the next day. Tetra awoke
from a deep sleep to see Link with his sword raised
over his head, ready to deliver the final blow to her
captor. "LINK, NO!" "Tetra?" "Damn, the spell wore
off... there's no way I can win." In a loud bang, Raijuta
disappeared. "Why'd you stop me, Tetra?" Tetra seemed
at a loss. "I was afraid that if you killed that guy,
you would leave to make sure there are none like him
left, and you'd leave..." She stopped there, as she
didn't want to reveal her true feelings about him yet.
Link seemed dumbfounded. Normally, when she talked to
him, she was either cold or harsh and was only nice if
she was in a VERY good mood. "Oh Link..." Tetra moved in
and gave Link a warm embrace. She stayed there for a
while, but soon pulled away disgusted at herself. "No...
not yet..." she thought. "Don't worry. There's plenty of
time for that," said Link as he started towards the
boat.
Me: well, read and review please.
Link, badly bruised: don't even bother.
Me: hey, if you don't shut up, I won't have the love
scene in the next story between you and Tetra!
Link: READ AND REVIEW NOW! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
TIME'S A-WASTIN'!
Me: that was easy...
Link: what was that?
Me: oh, nothing that concerns you. enjoy this story and look out for my next story sometime in a long time.
Link: he procrastinates.
Me: damn straight.
