Chapter 2: A New Journey
It was starting to get dark. The orange, setting sun covered the horizon. The sea gently splashed against the ship. They were going to be at Windfall by the end of the sun set. The Pirates and Link were in the ship having dinner. Only Gonzo, Zuko and Tetra remained on deck. Gonzo was steering the ship through the water, as usual and Zuko was up in the Crow's nest. Tetra started to climb up to the crow's nest. She climbed the ladder, noticing how it has gotten a lot weaker over the duration of time. She got up to see Zuko looking through the telescope at Windfall.
"Zuko, you can go down to the deck and eat, I'll take over," Tetra stated.
"Alright miss," Zuko replied and walked towards the ladder. He began his decent and was quickly down the ladder and heading for his dinner.
Tetra stared out at the setting sun. It made her feel so calm. She began to think about past events again. She remembered how brave Link was to attack Ganondorf. She thought about the battle a lot and remembered the final strike against Ganondorf. She had no idea Link could have gotten that powerful in so little time. She then remembered how much she taunted and mocked him. It made her regret judging Link at first glance. The sun was now covered by the horizon and the light began to fade as the night sky opened up, clear and beautiful.
"Nice sunset huh?" The voice startled Tetra and she turned around to see Link.
"Oh Link, it's only you," She said. "Yah, it was a nice sunset."
"I never knew you like sunsets," Link believed.
"I do," She said calmly. "It calms me down when I'm angry."
"Oh," Link replied.
"Link, I'm sorry for all the horrible things I've said to you before," She finally let out.
Link just smiled at her, "It's alright Tetra."
"You mean it?" Tetra asked. "I just feel so bad for what I said to you."
"I mean it Tetra," he replied.
Tetra turned around, leaned on the railing and looked out at the outline of Windfall. Link walked next to her and leaned against the railing as well. They were silent for the rest of the time, only enjoying the company of a good friend.

The Ritos had arrived at Windfall and now rested on a bench. They were extremely tired and needed a long break. They watched many people walk by and stare at them. It was usual, they were Ritos and a Korok after all. They looked out towards the sea to see the Pirate Ship sailing closer and closer towards Windfall.
"Well, here they come," Makar said.
"Yah, I can't wait to see Link again," Komali stated.
Near them, the black haired man overheard the name. He remembered that Link was the Hero of Winds, or so a rumor said. He got up and casually walked up to the group. They were talking to each other so they didn't notice him walk up to them.
"Excuse me," He said getting their attention. "No mean to barge in on a conversation, but I overheard you talking about Link?"
"Yes, you know him?" Medli asked.
"Well, I've heard a lot about him," the man replied.
"So you're a swordsman too sir?" Komali asked.
"My apologies, my name is Jack," he said. "Yes, I'm a swordsman."
"Nice," Komali mused. "I'm Komali, the other Rito is Medli and the Korok is Makar."
"Pleased to meet you," Jack replied.
Their conversation was interrupted when the Windfall officials ran by and headed for the cliff. Many of the residents also followed to see what was going on. They looked at each other and walked towards them, followed by their new friend. The crowd had grown larger and it was harder to see what they were crowding around for. It was obvious to them it was because of the pirates. The idea that they were going to be arrested was a shocking thought, but they knew it could happen.
The Pirate ship anchored in the spot where it was situated last visit. Immediately when the boarding ramp was placed, the crowd rushed towards them. The Pirates were staring right at a large angry mob. The officials were in front and the residents armed themselves, just incase of fighting. The officials didn't look very pleased and the mob looked ready to strike. Medli, Makar, Komali and Jack were trying to find a way to help them out, the situation was getting worse.
"You filthy pirates," an official started. "So you came back to Windfall huh?"
"You guys are under arrest," an official declared. "Now where's your leader?"
The surprised pirates let Tetra through and she stood in front of the official. "I'm the Captain," she said firmly.
"Ah, it's the fearsome Tetra," an official mocked. "Guess you and your pirates will be doing all your looting in a jail from now on."
"Wait a second," Link began but was quickly interrupted by an official.
"You stay out of this kid," the official seethed.
"We have to do something quick," Komali whispered to Jack and Medli.
"Where's Makar?" Medli asked.
"He fell asleep at the bench," Jack replied. "I have an idea."
Jack immediately jumped onto a nearby tree and kicked it. The force sent him onto the rooftop of the nearby building and he made sure no one but Medli and Komali could see him. He then grabbed a bag from his shirt and threw a ball towards the sea. It exploded in mid air, causing a very bright flare to appear in the sky. The crowd just looked at it, dazed and confused on what it is. This is just what Jack wanted.
"Medli, Komali, quick, get them out of their and follow me!" Jack stated jumping off the roof.
Medli quickly got the pirates attention and motioned for them to follow her. They did as told and quickly followed her past the crowd. Once they made it past them, they heard the crowd following. They needed to hide, that's when they saw Jack waving at them under the cliff. They ran under there as the mob passed by, still looking for them.
"Thanks for saving us, it's nice to see you again," Link whispered. "I think we're safe."
"But this island is small, they'll find us real soon," Gonzo exclaimed.
"We were hoping to get supplies," Tetra said. "But it appears we can't now."
"There are some supplies in the jail house," Jack stated. "If we move quickly, we should be able to get enough supplies and head off. Medli, you have to get Makar."
"Alright, and don't worry, we can trust Jack," Medli assured.
"Good then, let's hurry out of here," Komali stated.
Medli quickly ran towards the center as the mob searched. The others ran towards the jail house and began picking up whatever they could. They moved it back to the ship, just as Medli came running up with Makar in hand and mob in back. They had gotten five barrels of supplies and can head off for a little while.
"Raise the sail! We have to get out of here!" Tetra ordered.
"Hurry!" Jack exclaimed as he and Link pulled the boarding ramp back. Link then pulled the Wind Waker out and conducted the Wind's Requiem. The wind blew sharply to the North and caught the sail of the pirate ship. The ship pulled out of Windfall, leaving a very angry, island town behind.
"Well, it looks like we made it," Link sighed.
"Yeah, thanks for the help," Tetra said looking at Jack.
"No problem," he replied.
"Jack, what is it that made you come here in the first place?" Medli asked.
"My land was attacked by a powerful foe," Jack started. "They came from the south and began to destroy everything in their path. They enslaved citizens along the way and forced them to do their labor. I came here, to the Great Sea, to try and find help. Do you think you guys could help us?"
"We're on a quest to find a land to call a new Hyrule, this land, how big is it?" Tetra asked.
"It is larger then all the isles of the Great Sea made whole," he replied.
It took a couple of minutes before Tetra finally said, "Alright, we'll help you."
Jack smiled in happiness and exclaimed, "Thank you, thank you so much!"
"Sure thing," Tetra stated, "Now let's set the course for this new land, to the north!"

Near the main castle on the vast land, many different moblins with dual swords attacked the citizens around it. Inside the castle, guards with spears and armor could do nothing as they were over run by a wave of Moblins and other strange creatures. The moblins were also followed by weird cobra like creatures. These things looked like cobras, but four arms came out of its main and at the end formed deadly scythes. They moved rather slowly but they caused havoc on whatever they attacked.
The creatures were also in the throne room. The guards were already slaughtered in the room, and the king and queen were cowering in a corner as the creatures approached. The dark figure, from before, appeared out of a dark portal in the wall. He stepped out lightly and looked towards the king and queen. He casually walked towards them and raised his hand. The monsters stopped their advance and began to move to other places of the castle, some staying if needed.
"How do you like my Rune Serpents?" The dark figure asked.
"They're absolutely hideous!" The knig insulted.
The dark figure waved his finger, "Now, now, they're still hungry from their long walk."
"What do you want from us?" The queen asked cautiously.
"I just want your kingdom, and its secret," The dark man replied.
"You don't mean-"
"Oh, I do mean that," the dark figure stated, "And I will take it, no matter what the cost!"
"But, it has forever been hidden!" the king said.
"Then I will find it."
