Disclaimer: I do not own any Legend of Zelda things, but I do own my fic!

Naval Ace: Damn, the first day it came out I already got 5 reviews for the fic! Thats good news. Here's the chapter you've all been waiting for!

Chapter 1: Preparations

The midday sun shined upon the Great Sea, making the waters sparkle and glimmer. There was not a cloud in the sky. The waves were outlined by the sunlight that hit them, always moving and growing. The waves lapped against the side of the Pirate ship. It moved through the waters in the direction of Windfall with its crew. Along side it was a smaller red boat with a dragon's head on the small bow. The eyes of the King of Red Lions were now closed after the king died under the seas along with Ganondorf.

Tetra stood with her arms crossed on the stern of the ship. She watched and made sure everyone was doing work. Gonzo was keeping a steady course to Windfall, with the aid of Link's Wind Waker. Mako sat against the mast, reading his book. Zuko, was of course, up in the crow's nest trying to spot Windfall from the distance. Senza, Nudge and Niko were tying up the King of Red Lions to the side of the ship, letting it hang over the edge a bit. Link was now on deck and resting on the side of the stairs.

Tetra walked down the stairs and stared at the young hero. She found it hard to believe that a kid like him could save the Great Sea from Ganondorf. She could also hardly believe she was Princess Zelda. That thought struck her hard in the mind, but she shook it out.

"Miss Tetra?" a voice said behind her.

She turned around to see Niko standing there, slouched and looking tired. "What is it Niko?" she asked.

"Will we be staying at Windfall for a bi? A nice bed would be nice for a change," Niko pondered.

"No, we can't, we'll attract too much attention," Tetra replied.

"Yes Miss Tetra," Niko said sounding really disappointed.

Tetra stood there as she watched Niko go back down stairs to do more swabie duties. She felt bad for him, but she knew they had to find more land. She was aching for good food and better shelter for once too, but they needed to be on their quest as soon as possible.

"So we're heading off once we get re-supplied?" Link said from behind her.

"Yah, we have to find more land to call Hyrule," Tetra stated.

"I see," Link replied.

"You think we should stay though?" Tetra asked unsure.

"Your choice princess," Link stated as he got up and dusted himself.

"Don't call me that, I don't like being called a princess, especially since the crew doesn't know," she said a little angry.

"Alright," Link replied walking down to the stairs, "I'm going to see if Niko needs help."

Tetra stood there on deck as the other pirates did their jobs. In the distance, the outline of Windfall is seen as the pirate ship sailed closer and closer towards it.

On Windfall, the kids were running out of school as the bell rang. The Killer Bees were now helping people as much as being a gang. Officials were talking near the grave stone of what was believed to hold the founder of Windfall. They were worried about the rumor that pirates were coming to Windfall. They knew about the last visit they had where they robbed the bomb shop. They also knew that some potions and money were stolen before that. If these pirates that were coming are the ones that robbed them last time, then they would most likely have to arrest them.

A lone sail boat sails onto the island's beach, catching the officials' interests. The boat was a clean white with a white sail. The small mast was towards the front, making it a single person sailboat. An average sized man stepped onto the beach and looked up at the midday sun. It shined on his brown boots and his blue shirt. His white pants were a little loose on him, but they fit quite well. He had a sword with a golden hilt on his right side. The sheath was decorated in silver lines, forming vines. A golden Triforce lay at the top of the sword. He looked at the officials walking towards him; he knew it could be trouble.

"Sir, welcome to Windfall," An official said, "You wouldn't have seen any Pirates around the seas have you?"

"No, I haven't," the man replied.

"Alright, keep your eyes out if you see any," the official stated and walked away with the others.

'I guess they weren't looking to bother me,' the man thought and began to walk towards the town.

In the Forest Haven, Makar was practicing his violin (cello to him I bet) in the cave in the waterfall. He listened carefully to his song, making sure he counted every note right and made every note sound good. He closed his eyes and listened as the music filled the underground room. The music was soothing to the air and felt it was nice to listen to. He was sure the Great Deku tree would like it.

He was playing smoothly and perfecting the song he was going to play this year in the festival. He suddenly heard footsteps coming and opened his eyes. He was shocked to see Komali and Medli looking at him. At the same time, he was happy and jumped in joy.

"Hey Makar, glad to see you again," Medli stated walking over to him.

"Glad to see you too!" Makar replied, "So what did you come for?"

"Well, we heard that Link and the Pirates are going on another adventure, we thought it would be good to go with them," Komali answered.

"So we thought you might want to come along as well," Medli said.

"I'll come!" Makar exclaimed happily.

"That's great," Medli said, "But we have to hurry and get to Windfall before they leave!"

Medlie, Komali and Makar began to walk out of the cave. They jumped through the water fall and fell into the water. They quickly got out and looked northwest. Makar got into the bag on Medli's back and held on. The two ritos spread their wings and took flight as they soared towards Windfall.

"When do you thin they'll leave?" Makar asked.

"They didnt arrive yet, so they might leave later," Komali replied.

"It's not that much of a flight for us though," Medli stated.

Link was down in the hull helping Niko out. Niko had the job of moving all the heavy boxes around, so Link had to help. To Niko's amazement, Link was able to do it with ease. Link has really gotten a lot stronger since Niko last saw him. Soon enough, the boxes were all where Tetra wanted them.

"Link, how did you get so strong so fast?" Niko asked.

"Well, when you go around beating a lot of hard monsters then you'd get really strong," Link answered simply.

"Link, Niko, Come up here!" Tetra yelled.

Link and Niko looked at each other and raced up deck. They went through the door at the top to see the once cloudless sky no filled with dark clouds. The waves were getting stronger and the wind began to pick up.

"What happened?" Link asked.

"I don't know, this all happened in a matter of minutes," Tetra explained.

Raindrops turned into a heavy downpour as the crew struggled to keep the ship a float. The waves were getting stronger and higher and the wind was blowing fiercely. The crew managed o get the sail down but they were now being thrown off course. Link reached into his bag and pulled out the Wind Waker. He began to conduct the Wind's Requiem and then tried to make it stop, but it didn't work.

The pirates held onto the ship as best as the could as waves began to flow onto the deck of the ship. The wind blew fiercely as the rain became harder. Lightning flashed in the sky all over the place as thunder came after. Cyclones began to form and the seas were covered in a storm that seemed more powerful then five, class three hurricanes combined.

In the sky, a dark orb of light appeared and hot towards the North, beyond the Great Sea. Almost immediately after, the winds began to clam down to a gentle breeze. The waves returned back to normal and gently pushed the ship now. The rain stopped completely and the cyclones vanished from the seas. The clouds dispersed and the sky became clear again. The sun now shined on the sea and made it glimmer. The pirates looked in wonder at what just happened. It wasn't a usual thing to see a storm that powerful come and go in a matter of minutes.

"What just happened Link?" Tetra asked.

"I have no clue," Link replied.

Link once again pulled out the Wind Waker and played the Wind's Requiem. He pointed it north east and a large gust of wind blew past. The Pirates set the sail up and the ship continued on its course to Windfall. He remembered seeing the dark orb, but it let his mind quickly.

Komali and Medli were blown out of the sky and landed harshly on the Tower of Gods. They stayed there until the storm had blown by and were also baffled on how fast the storm came and went.

"That's not a usual storm," Medli stated.

"No it wasn't," Makar agreed.

"What do you think that dark orb was?" Komali asked.

"I don't know, but it can't be good," Medli replied.

"We better get to Windfall, the pirates might be there already," Komali said.

"Alright," Medli agreed and followed the rito into the air.

They began to fly towards Windfall. Seagulls flew with them as they began to glide on a wind draft. They couldn't see any ship near Windfall, so they knew that they must not be there yet. They continued their flight and began to slow down to land.

Unknowingly to both the Pirates and Ritos, was that they were being watched. There was a dark figure floating above a nearby cloud. He had dark armor and wore a Black helmet outlined in dark red. His boots were pure black and were also outlined in dark red. There was a silver sword in a black seethe at his side, which also had a dark red hilt. His arms were covered with armor and his gauntlets were painted a dark brown color.

He looked at the two ritos flying towards Windfall wih a Korok on ones back. Then he looked on the Pirate ship which carried two of the triforce holders. He grinned inside his helmet as he began to float upwards. He took one last, careful look at the Hero of Winds and Princess Zelda. He knew Ganondorf had failed to get the triforce pieces. But this wasn't what he was looking for, it was, something else.

"Soon, Soon," the dark man said and flew away with amazing speed.
