Link awoke on the shore of a sandy beach. He slowly sat up, but had a pounding pain in his head. He took his hood off and felt a large bump on his head. "Geez, what happened?" he said, quickly putting his hood on. It was then he noticed Tetra laying next to him. "Tet…AHHH! WHAT DID I DO!? ME AND TETRA DIDN'T JUST HA…" Then it all came back to him. The cloud, the sharks, the cyclone, and of course, Ganondorf. "Ganondorf," Link muttered quietly. "Man, my head," Tetra said, softly. Link stood up quickly. "Link," Tetra began, "I remember what happened, we gotta kill Ganondorf," "Yeah, I know," Link said, "But first we're gonna need a boat." Link finished, staring at the pile of red wood, floating on the water, that was once his proud boat, the KoRL. "Well, where are we?" Tetra said, snatching the sea chart from Link. "Hey, I could've done that myself!" Link yelled at Tetra. "No you couldn't, and neither could I, this island isn't marked on your map!"
"Wha.., you gotta be reading it wrong," Link responded, taking the chart from Tetra. "Me?! Reading it wrong?! I'm a pirate, so if anything, I'm reading it right and you're reading it wrong!" "Ha! Then just where do you think then?!" "Well, Link, you know how there are two sides of the world?" "Yeah, I know." "Well Outset and all those other islands that are on your sea chart are on one side of the world," Tetra began. "So we're on the other side of the world!" Link finished. "Mmm-hmm," Tetra nodded. "Wha!! You've gotta be kiddin' me!" Tetra shook her head. "Oh man, I'm gonna, I'm gonna…" BOOM! "Pass out?" Tetra asked.
*10 minutes later*
"Holy cow, my head," Link slowly woke up. "Did you enjoy your beauty sleep?" Tetra remarked, sarcastically. "Ha ha, you're a hoot," Link responded. "All right look, we're gonna need a boat and a sail," Tetra said. "Yeah, then we can go defeat Ganondorf. All right, you take this side of the island, and I'll get this side," Link informed Tetra. "Ok, let's go!" Tetra yelled, running to her side of the island. Link just smiled and hurried to his side.
"No, I do not want a block of ice, just a boat!" Tetra said, annoyed. "Please, just one! I need a sale," the pitiful shop owner pleaded. "NO!" Tetra yelled, walking away. "Please!" the shop owner begged, but Tetra couldn't hear him, she was already out of his small shack. "Geez, this town is surrounded by water, ya think I'd be able to find a boat!" Tetra muttered to herself, in search of another store.
*On the other side of town*
"Geez, where the heck is a boat store in this town?" Link questioned himself. "Hey kid, what're ya lookin fer?" a suspicious man from an ally asked him. "A…boat store, why?" Link, responded, hesitating. "Well kid, I could help you find the store, but it wouldn't actually be free, heh heh," the man snickered. "Yeah thanks, but no," Link coolly responded. "All right, fine. How bout if I just take all yer rupees?" the man said, whipping out a knife. "Oh, so that's how ya wanna play," Link said, unsheathing his Hero's Blade. "Ha! You think that butter knife is gonna hurt me?" the man said, laughing. "Yeah, I do." The man made a quick stab at Link. He nimbly rolled to the side avoiding the knife completely. Link jumped at the man, aiming for his stomach. His blade hits it's mark. The man fell down, knocked out. "Heh, that was fun, now where's that shop?"
*On the other side of town*
"WHAT?! No way, I'm not paying that much for a dumb boat!" Tetra yelled at a shop owner of a small shop. There was only a single boat remaining, a dark brown boat, just bigger than the KoRL. There were many sails hung on the walls, but they were to expensive for the two kids. Tetra figured to the boat would be best. "But miss, I guarantee, that is the best price for a boat on the island!" "Yeah but still 5,000 rupees?! I'm just a kid, how am I supposed to get that kind of money?" "Well you could always get a part-time job," the owner suggested. "Yeah, thanks anyway," Tetra said, turning to leave. "All right! I'll lower the price for you, 500 rupees!" the shop keeper burst out. "Thanks, I'll be back," Tetra said, as she walked out the door.
*Back with Link*
"Yeah that's right, I beat him," Link said, motioning to the man from before, " if you don't wanna be next, hand over that sail." "N…NO! The boss'll kill me!" "Give it to me, or else I'll kill you," Link threatened, grabbing his sword's handle, with no real intention of hurting the gang member. "All right! HERE!" the man said, running away and dropping the sail. "Hee hee, one down," Link walked away smiling.
*Back with Tetra*
"LINK!! GET OVER HERE!!" Tetra yelled at the top of her lungs. 'Where is he?' she thought to herself. "LI…" she began. "What?" Link yelled from behind her. "Link, why the heck weren't here sooner?" Tetra asked him. "I was busy gettin this," Link said, holding up his sail. "Well that's one down, one to go," Tetra muttered, "I found a boat, but it costs 500 rupees." "GEEZ! You gotta be kiddin me!" Link said in amazment. "If you can't believe that, I won't tell you what it cost originally," Tetra said, snickering. "Ha ha," Link laughed, sarcastically. "K, Link, I think we need to stick together, so we can find a part time job," Tetra told him. "Hey! I got the sail, you get the job!" Link yelled. "Yeah, but you do wanna get Ganondorf? If we each do half of the job, it'll go faster," Tetra informed him. "Yeah but…" Link began his argument. "Oh, shut up," Tetra said grabbing him by the hood and dragging him as she walked away. "Hey, leggo!" Link struggled and complained as Tetra dragged him along with her.
"Yes sir, we'll be happy to swab yer boat and exterminate the monsters in it," Tetra said, politely. "NO WE WON'T!" Link yelled, Tetra still holding him by the hood. "Sir please ignore the boy in green," Tetra said, kicking Link. "Ow," Link mumbled. "Ah yes the pay will be 500 rupees, due to the number of monsters in it," the man informed Tetra. "Thank you sir, goodbye!" Tetra yelled as she walked toward the docks, where the man's boat was. "Ya know, now that you got me into this, you could let go of me!" Link yelled. "Oh sorry," Tetra said, releasing his hood, "geez, it was hard to be nice for so long," Tetra complained to Link. "Yeah, for you it would be, huh?" Link asked, jokingly. "Hey, you know how were partners?" Tetra asked him. "Yeah…" Link said, slowly. "That could end very quick. As soon as I get the boat I could just ditch you," Tetra informed him. "Yeah but wouldn't it be easier to pilot with two of us," Link said. "Yeah, good point, but…" The duo walked to the boat, arguing whether they should stay a duo or not.
The door to the captain's quarters slowly creaked open. And standing in the brightly lit doorway was none other than… Tetra and Link! "Whoa, when he said he had a monster problem, he meant it!" Link said, shocked. "Yeah, I see around 27 Moblins, 12 Darknuts, and 7 Stalfos," Tetra said, both her and Link exiting the room. "K I'll take the monsters, you take the cleaning," Link explained to Tetra. "Oh no, you're not taking the easy job, you take the cleaning," Tetra said, sternly. "What?! No way!!" Link argued. "All right fine, there's only one way to decide, this, we must battle in… rock, paper scissors!" Tetra exclaimed. "Fine by me," Link agreed. "Rock, paper, scissors! Tie. Rock, paper, scissors! Tie," Link and Tetra both said.
*20 minutes later*
"Rock, paper, scissors, ti… HEY! I win!" Tetra exclaimed. "Aw come on, best two out of three?" Link begged. "No way," Tetra responded, handing him a mop and bucket. "Man…" Link muttered, walking to the deck. "All right then," Tetra kicked open the door, "Come get me!" A Moblin charged at Tetra, but she flipped over his head, landing right in the arms of a Darknut. Feebly Tetra smiled at the knight. The Darknut tossed her in the air, and as she came down he slashed her with his sword. She slammed hard on a wall, temporarily winded. All the moblins jumped in to her stabbing frantically. Tetra managed to roll out of the jumble, but had a serious gash in her shoulder and her leg. She had numerous nicks and cuts all over her body. "Geez, yer all gonna pay for that!" Tetra said, charging at all her foes, short sword drawn. A Stalfo leaped at her, sword aiming for her throat. Tetra blocked the sword with her sword. A Moblin leaped at her other side, stabbing at her. Tetra spun around, blocking the new attacker and kicking the Stalfo as she went. The Stalfo stumbled backwards, with the Moblin watching him. Tetra could feel his strength temporarily weaken, so she overthrew him, sending the Moblin flying backwards. She leaped, yelling as she flew through the air. When she was at the level of his throat, she slashed him fast. There was an explosion of black light, and the Moblin was no more.
*On the deck*
"Man, Tetra's so lucky, getting to fight, meanwhile I have to sit her and mop this dumb deck, must be at least 40 feet long and 60 feet wide!" Link mumbled to himself, mopping the deck.
*30 minutes later*
Tetra came stumbling out of the captain's quarters just as Link finished mopping the deck. Tetra had her hand on her shoulder, stained with blood. "Tetra! What happened to you?" Link asked, running up to her. Link grabbed her as she nearly fell. "Link…" Tetra said, weakly. Tetra eyes shut as she passed out. "Tetra! Tetra!" Link yelled to her, "must've passed out," Link mumbled to himself. Carefully, he picked her up and began to carry her toward the hospital.
*A day later*
Tetra awoke in the hospital, her wounds bandaged. As she sat up, she winced from the pain of her wounds. As Tetra looked around she saw Link, slumbering in a chair by her bed. 'I must've been here a day. Link spent the night here, right next to me. I didn't think he cared about me so much, ' she thought to herself. She smiled at him, her face slowly turning red. Tetra shifted positions, and the noise from this caused Link to wake up. As soon as he was fully awake he told Tetra an important announcement. "Tetra I bought the boat. I also got the sail on," Link informed Tetra. "I didn't think you'd be able to do it by yerself, I'm impressed. All right, let's go," Tetra said, standing up. "But yer wounds…" Link began to protest. "I'm fine," Tetra said, walking out the door of her room. She headed toward the exit of the hospital, getting weird looks from the nurses and doctors. But no one dared tell her anything due to the weapon at her side.
Link helped Tetra walk to the boat. Tetra climbed into the boat, not accepting help from Link. Link happened to glance down and noticed a bright shine deep in the water. "Tetra I see something, I'll be right back," Link said, as he dived under the water. "Wha? Are you crazy or something?!" Tetra yelled, as she saw him go under. Link dived, going toward the source of the sparkle.
*A few seconds later*
Link's head broke the water. "Link! Don't ever do that again!" Tetra scolded him. "Yeah gee, sorry grandma," Link teased Tetra. "Yeah, and don't do that again, too," Tetra said to him. "I know yer mad at me, but I did find this!" Link said proudly, holding up a purple device with a hook at the end. "A hook shot! I didn't think there was more than one of them in the world!!" Tetra said, excitably. "Yeah, me too," Link said, twirling the hook shot. "Well, get in here, we gotta get moving if we ever hope to catch up to Ganondorf," Tetra said, holding out her hand. Link grabbed her hand and she helped pull him up. Tetra watched as Link cut the rope holding Link and Tetra's boat to the dock. "LET'S GO!!" Link yelled as the sail picked up wind and the boat floated over the water, the water glistening in the sun.
