The Legend of Zelda: Pirates' Ocarina
Chapter Three: "The Storm"
A few hours later, Link awoke from his sleep. He looked around at his surroundings again, remember what had happened. Saria and everyone back home, he hoped they we alright.
Link walked up to the door and opened it slowly. He looked out into surprisingly well-lighted hallway. After he decided it was safe enough, he ventured out into wooden hall. He could feel the ship bouncing up and down on the waves, which would mean they were back on the sea and probably long gone from his home. Link heard something coming down the hall so he quickly hid behind some boxes and watched the two pirates walk by. "Har har, looks like we got a bounty of booty this time!" The short, fat one said.
"Ar! Who would have thought those little brats would have such a huge amount of treasure!" The other tall, stick-like man said.
"How d'ya think the cap'n knew 'bout the place?" The fat one said to his partner.
"Har har, didn't you know? The Great Ganondorf, told us to come for a little emerald thing the cap'n has!" The stick one said as he slapped the back of the fat one. The two continued down the wooden hall, and Link came out once he couldn't hear them anymore. 'Green emerald? That must be what the Great Deku Tree wanted me to get!' Link thought as he made his way down the wooden corridor.
Link worked his way in and out of rooms for hours on end, trying to work his way to where the caption was. As Link came out of another room, he heard more voices coming from another door a ways down from him. Link could hear them as they cursed and laughed at what they had done only hours ago. He also heard them mention the huge reward they will get from this "Great Ganondorf" when they brought the emerald to him. When they had left the room they were standing in, Link went inside to look for anything of use. When he opened the door, he was nearly blinded by the gold-plated room were huge mounds of golden coins lay, along with silver and other precious stones. Link was about to leave the blinding room when he heard the sound of footsteps and grunting coming; Link quickly dived into a pile of the golden coins. From under the pile of coins, he could see the pirates bringing in treasure chests, probably full of more coins. The pirates just threw the chests into the rooms, conveniently knocking Link in the head with one, and left. Link crawled out from the coins and rubbed his head, then quickly ran from the room, but not before pocketing a few coins and Rupees for the trip.
He followed the hall way until he reached the deck of the ship. When he stepped out, he was met with a cool breeze and he saw the massive ship he had just went through. The ship seemed to be multi-layered and the mass of the ship rose high into the sky, this ship appeared like it could plow through any storm with ease. Link gawked at the ship until a sinister voice called from below his level. "Well, well, and intruder, eh?" the voice crackled. Link looked down and saw a menacing man dressed in a black and red attire with a long black beard and coat to match. Link jumped down from his level and faced the caption, who was much taller then Link.
"Har, har! A little Kokiri boy?! The Goddesses try and stop me with this little runt! Bawhahaha!" the caption laughed, reviling his hooked hand.
"You! Give me the emerald now!" Link demanded to the caption. What Link failed to notice, not just the pirates coming out on deck, but the horizon was filling with black clouds.
"Kokiri boy! You are foolish! Not only are you out of the protection of that bleeding tree, but you are on my ship now!" the caption laughed again, though Link noticed some of the pirates muttering something along the lines of "Poor kid" and other sympathy towards Link, and others making comments about their obviously evil caption, some going as far as to cheer Link on. The caption continued to speak.
"I am impressed, boy, Kokiri are forbidden to leave their island, for they would die instantly, but you look fine..." the caption stroked his grungy beard, "ha-ha! I guess that sodding legend is just that!"
"Give me the emerald now, or I will take you down!" Link bellowed. This set the caption into another fit of mad laughter.
"BAWHAHAHA! I like you're spunk, boy! Tell 'ye what, join up with my crew and I won't gut you!" the caption laugh, raising his hooked hand to prove his point. Link whipped out his sling-shot and shot a Deku seed right at the caption's forehead, causing the pirates to gasp in shock. The caption just snarled.
"Boy, I gave you a chance! But, I am fair, I'll give you one more chance, surrender and join my crew or I'll have you burred at sea!" the caption pointed his hooked hand at Link's throat. Link just backed up and pulled out his boomerang and sent it flying straight at the caption, cutting half of his beard off. The pirates gasped in shock even more, some even going as far as to clap. The caption, however, was just taken to his limit. If there's one thing you don't do, its touch his pride, his beard. The caption lunged at Link with his hook out, ready to put a whole in him. Link caught his boomerang and dodged gracefully. The caption recovered and lunged for Link again, but he just moved again, then shot another Deku seed at the caption. Now the caption really wanted to see Link bleed, he lunged for Link, but was ready for which ever direction he was going to go and as Link jumped to one side, he brought his hook to that direction.
Unfortunately for the caption, Link jumped in front of the ship's mass, causing the claw to become stuck in the thick wood. The caption's eyes grew small as he came to the realization that this boy, no more than tens years old and five feet tall, was toying with him! This was all a game that he was the champion at. But the caption had one more trick. "My crew! Attack! Attack!" he yelled to the crew that had been watching the match. Most hesitated before they lunged at Link, but it wouldn't matter. As they got to Link, they were all knocked down by waves crashing against the ship. "Cap'n! Cap'n! We've entered a storm! I don't think we'll... !" the pirate in the crow's nest yelled before the mass was struck with lighting and sent him flying over the ship.
Every pirate stopped what they were trying to do to Link and quickly ran to try and save the ship, but it was a lost cause. Link, however, saw the emerald in the caption's pocket and ran to grab it. Just as he managed to get it, another lighting blot fell from the sky and crashed into the ship, sending most of the crew, including Link, flying into the water, leaving the rest to drown with the ship.
The last thing Link remembered was the impact of water on his face as he hit the water, clutching onto the emerald as if it was his life raft.
The sun beat down upon a small little island with a beach and mini-forest. Upon the shore was the scattered remains of the ship that washed ashore and a green tunic wearing boy...
Else Where...
"Sir! The caption of the Black Eye has been found on the waters!" the voice of a underling spoke.
"Bring him forward," a dark figure sitting in a thrown commanded. The underling disappeared and the caption was thrown into the room.
"Master Ganondorf!" The caption spoke, extremely nervures.
"You better bring good news," the figure spoke. The caption was shaking slightly.
"Er, I do, I brought you the Kokiri Emerald!" the caption said, shuffling threw his pockets. The figure sat with his head on his arm. Now the caption was shaking violently.
"Well?" He spoke, taping his fingered on his thrown.
"No! I had it! Unless...!" the said as he looked back at the door, prepared to run, but the door was shut, "that Kokiri boy!" The black figure stood up shaking his head.
"You've failed me for the last time!" the black figure yelled as his eyes glowed an eerie red color and the caption tried to run and scream, but he fell to the ground, shaking as if he was about to explode, the abruptly stopped and disappeared into a void. The black figure sat back down in his thrown and leaned on his arm again, thinking.
"Kokiri boy?" He said to no one in particular. He stood up again and walked out of the thrown room and out of his palace.
