Link, Tetra and Kilo held their ground, staring at the black bird.
"Hey, Link!" Tetra called.
"Yeah?!" Link yelled back.
"Is it just me, or does thing look just like the bird that stole your sister?!"
"Hey, yer right!" Link said to his surprise.
"You are half right mortals," the bird said, eerily. The three companions all took a step back in surprise. "That bird just happened to be my brother, now I'm here to avenge him!" It raised it head and cawed, fiercely as it could. Link pulled out his hookshot, carefully aimed at the bird, and fired.
"Yeah?! I don't care if he was your brother," Link said, flying on the hookshot, "I took him out easy enough I'll do the same to you!"
Link flew at the bird, sword pointed in front. He struck the bird, sword sinking into it skin. The bird grabbed Link in its mouth and tossed him to the ground. Link hit the ground, temporarily incapacitated.
"Kilo, we have to get in there and cover him!" Tetra yelled, making a mad dash at Link.
"Ok, no problem," Kilo yelled, following Tetra. The bird raised its talon, preparing to smash Link.
"No!" Tetra yelled, jumping at Link. She grabbed him, and flew out of the way of the bird's attack, just in time. The bird's talon smashed to the floor. Kilo sunk his swords into the talon. Kilo pulled them out, and saw a bright shine. He looked up and realized that Link's sword was still in the bird. Tetra had dragged Link to a river, and was splashing water on his face.
"Tetra!" Kilo yelled.
"What?" Tetra said, standing up, absentmindedly knocking Link into river. He awoke with a start, coughing and sputtering. He clambered onto the shore, about to yell at Tetra, but Kilo resumed his sentence.
"Link's sword's still in the bird!" Tetra and Link looked up at the bird, both of them gaining a shocked expression. "Link, can you hookshot it out?" Kilo asked.
"No, I think it's in to deep!" Link yelled back. The birds eyes gleamed brightly, as it took to the air. It soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
They all stood searching about them. Then they saw it. The bird came soaring down, like a meteor. Link now realized the bird was heading toward the girls cage. Link ran to it, but realized he'd never make it in time. He saw Tetra's short sword fly next to his head, and strike the bars of the small cage. The cage flew backwards, safely landing away from the diving bird. Tetra and Kilo ran toward it, Link ran away from the oncoming bird. The giant crow struck the ground causing a huge earthquake. Tetra and Kilo were knocked down, the cage swayed from side to side. Link face planted into the dirt, but was quickly up again, and running at the bird.
The bird's beak was stuck in the ground. Link jumped onto the bird, and started climbing up him. He reached his sword and retrieved it, just at the bird got up again. Link grabbed onto the bird, hoping not to fall.
By this time, Tetra and Kilo were already at the birds talons. They were slashing and hacking furiously, Link doing the same. The bird shook feverishly, and the three heroes were thrown into the trees. Tetra and Link easily dropped out of theirs, but Kilo had some difficulties, since his shirt was caught on a branch. When Kilo did get out of his, the three regrouped, eager to kill the bird. The three of them ran forward, at the birds feet. They leaped onto the talons. Kilo and Tetra slashed away, while Link took careful aim with his hookshot. He motioned for them to grab on to him. Tetra clung onto his back; Kilo grabbed Link's leg. Link fired, and the three of them shot toward the bird, weapons at the ready.
All of them landed safely, Tetra started slashing away. Kilo ran to the bird's neck and started slashing, Link was more concerned with the bird's head that was now facing all of them. It began to peck away furiously at it's back, striking Tetra instantly. She fell on her back, and stumbled to her feet again, shaken but alright. Link ducked and weaved under the bird's beak, Kilo was to close to the bird's head for it to hit him. The bird cawed as it wings spread out wide. It took to the air, nearly knocking Kilo off. Link and Tetra had already dove on the bird's back, Kilo now did the same. They clung on feebly as the bird soared through the air. Link grabbed as his hood, as it nearly flew off his head. The bird flew into the clouds, the searing winds whipped at the companions faces.
The bird turned toward the ground, and went into a dive.
Link, Tetra, and Kilo held on to the bird, fearing for their lives. Tetra, Link, and Kilo glanced at each other. The bird swooped low to the ground, and flipped upside down. The three heroes quickly held their heads up. The bird looked back at them, but then… BOOM! He ran straight into a tree. The bird shook, trying to fling the tree from him, but had no success. The three slipped off the bird. Kilo and Tetra landed on their feet, Link face planted straight into the ground. The bird finally managed to dislodge himself from the tree. Link flipped over, and for the first time, noticed a bright yellow spot on the birds stomach.
"Kilo! Tetra! I think I may have found it's weak spot!! Look at it's stomach!!" The two dropped to their knees, each of their faces gaining a shocked expression.
"Yer right!" Tetra yelled. She began to run at the bird. She dove under it's belly, but the bird began to sit down. Tetra crawled and wriggled out from under the bird, and barley made it out, one of her legs, getting crushed. She screamed in pain. As Kilo and Link shuffled over to cover her. Link knelt next to her, and ripped part of his sleeve off. He tied it around Tetra's now bloody leg.
"Link, thanks," Tetra said, with a smile.
"Yeah, now that Tetra's taken care of, how bout helpin' me?!" Kilo yelled, attempting to hold the bird's head back, slowly sliding toward the river. Tetra stood up, testing her leg. It seemed alright, so, Tetra and Link ran at the bird, but ran back as it attempted to smash them with his talons. Kilo rolled out of the way, and the bird slipped into the river. It didn't do much, considering the water was barely a quarter of a way up the bird's foot. The bird stood straight up, shaking the water from its feathers.
"LINK NOW!!" Tetra and Kilo screamed at the same time. Link yanked out his hookshot, and, not taking time to aim and fired. Link got lucky. He managed to barely strike the bird on it's stomach. The bird looked down in shock. Link pierced its flesh. The collapsed into a lump. Link stood on the bird slashing him, Kilo and Tetra quickly leaped on top of him. They also hacked away at him. The bird got up and shook the three of them off. It slowly flew up into the sky, weakly.
"This isn't over…" it muttered. They all saw an immense explosion, and feathers rained down on them. The three of them slowly walked to the cage with the imprisoned girl.
