Chapter 3: Battles and Love
The ship sailed towards the land of what Jack called great promises. They had laid anchor north of the Wind Temple. They had pulled anchor once the sun rose from over the horizon. The crystal blue seas glittered as the ship split the water in two when it passed. It seemed peaceful, a little, too peaceful. But that would change soon.
"Link! Wake up and help us on deck!" Tetra yelled.
"I'm up!" Link said hurrying on deck, not wanting to get the fearsome pirate angry.
"Is the ship always this noisy?" Jack asked.
"Unfortunately, I think so," Medli replied.
The pirates were all doing their daily work. But this time, it seems Niko was trying to fish. The fish was a little too big, so Niko fell over. Now the pirates are trying to get him out of the Water and they need Link's help, well, they need his grappling hook. Link immediately threw it towards Niko. He grabbed onto it and was beginning to climb when he saw a lone fin pass by.
"Ahhh! Gyorgs!!" Niko screamed as he began climbing faster. He was halfway up the ladder when he stopped. He was breathing heavily and was looking really scared. He shivered as the Gyorgs waited below.
"Come on Niko, climb up!" yelled Senza.
"I can't, out of breath," Niko exclaimed. At that moment, a Gyorg jumped up and bit the rope just under Niko. He freaked out and shot straight up the rope and onto the deck. The Gyorgs were swimming away, unhappy that they didn't get lunch. Niko was scared stiff and was soon annoyed when he heard his fellow pirates laughing.
"Wow Niko, you really were out of breath," Gonzo joked.
"Well, at least he knows he can't fish anymore," Tetra commented.
"I'll just go do swabbie work below deck," Niko stated.
The ship continued on its course towards the land. The crew went back to work after their incident when Niko fell overboard. It seemed like the day was already full of excitement of all the things that happened so far. But there is something else going on that baffles both Link and Tetra. A feeling they never felt before. Tetra was now in her cabin. She was reading the maps of the area around them. But she couldn't keep her concentration. She was thinking about Link. She couldn't help but stare at her every time she was near him. She felt something inside. She had never felt it before, but it seemed really strong. She had become best friends with Link, but is there something more? She shook this thought out of her head and concentrated on the map. The thought soon re-entered her head.
She couldn't look at the maps at the moment; she went to her bed and lay down. She closed her eyes and began to think. She had thought Link was just another boy when she first looked at him. They became friends soon though. She thought about the battle with Ganondorf, he was really brave to take him on. She had helped him the whole way through, and had helped him up after the battle. She had decided that they had just become really close friends. Then another thought entered her head. Could she be falling in love with Link? That thought passed fast as Tetra fell asleep.
Link was below decks in the treasure room. It had been turned into his room. The treasures were still there, but there was a bed and a table in there for Link. Link lay on his bed, turning and thinking. He was trying to get sleep, but he couldn't help but think about past events. He just couldn't help but turn a shade of red when Tetra looked at him. He also couldn't help but think about her throughout the days. She was a close friend. But he thought about love. Was he falling in love with a pirate captain? But she's also a princess he thought. Link soon fell asleep, dreaming of the young pirate captain and princess.
"Hey Jack, how far from this land are we?" Komali asked.
"We should be about less then a day away from the land," Jack replied.
"So how does this land look?" Nudge asked.
"Well, let me think," Jack started, "There are lush, green fields covering the land. Rich, vast forests are spread throughout the land. There are tall mountains that reach the skies. The lakes and seas around it are crystal clear and nice to drink. The sun is always shining on the kingdom, only the passing rainstorms block it now and then. It's a beautiful place to live."
"Wow, it sounds like Hyrule!" Medli exclaimed. "I can remember Link telling me how it was like."
"Shouldn't we tell Link and Miss Tetra about how close we are, they should know too," Mako stated.
"Good point," Jack replied. "I'll go and get them."
Jack went through the door. He went around the stares in the middle and decided to get Tetra first. He peeked in to find her sound asleep; he wasn't going to wake her up for fear of what she might do to him. So he continued down to Link's room. He looked at all the ropes hanging from the roof. There was also a ladder to Link's room. He didn't need any of these ropes or the ladder. He jumped down to the lower level and used the momentum to jump back up. He landed right onto the platform and looked around. If anyone saw him do that, he would have to teach them.
Jack peered into Link's room to find him too asleep. But he didn't hesitate to wake the young hero. He shook Link gently and soon had to shake him a little harder. Link groaned as he opened his eyes. He wiped his eyes to try and get himself awake. He looked around his room to see Jack.
"Jack, what are you doing here?" Link asked.
"Well, I'm here to tell you that we're nearly a day's trip from the land," Jack explained. "And I need you to wake Tetra."
"Oh, I see," Link said and got up.
Jack followed Link out of his room and down the ladder. They crossed the room stocked with beds and supplies and reached the ladder on the other side. They climbed the ladder and Link went ahead into tetra's room. Jack waited outside and didn't want to see what came next. Link went through the curtain low hanging and went to the side of her bed. He looked at Tetra, sound asleep, and couldn't help it but blush a shade of red. She looked so cute when she was asleep he thought. She shook her gently and before he went to shaking her more, her hand came in contact with the side of his face. Link fell backwards and Tetra stood up, thinking it was Niko again who tried to wake her. She looked towards Link and got off the bed.
"Link, I'm sorry, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yah, I'm fine," Link replied.
"Sorry, I thought you were Niko," Tetra stated. "Why did you wake me thought?"
"Well, Jack wanted to tell us we were less then a day's trip from the land," he answered.
"Oh, that's good," she said. "I think we should get on deck now that we're awake anyway."
The two got up and made their way out of the room to see Jack by the door. He nodded and followed them out of the door to the deck. Jack went to help Nudge who was trying to figure out what was wrong with the cannon. Link and Tetra stood on the deck behind Gonzo who was steering the ship. They leaned against the railing on the back and stood only inches between each other. Link was wondering if he should tell her. Tetra was thinking the exact same thing. They both came to one conclusion.
"Um, Link," Tetra started.
"Yes Tetra?" Link asked.
"I need to tell you something," she replied.
"I have to tell you something too," he added.
"Do you think we have the same thing in mind?" she asked.
"I don't know," Link replied.
"Link, I lo," but she couldn't finish her sentence. Three whirlpools ahead sprouted each, their own Big octo. The whirlpools' currents were dragging the ship towards them at a fast rate. They had to prepare for a battle.
"We'll need a lot of luck to beat all these!" Gonzo stated.
Link looked carefully and shouted, "Go for the eyes! Unfortunately for us, each on has eight eyes!"
The battle had begun. Link already pulled out his boomerang and started to launch it at each of the eyes on a big octo. He was able to hit five eyes so far, but a tentacle from a big octo flew overhead and caused a large force of wind to blow everyone on deck down. Jack and Nudge were using the cannon on one of the big octos. The other pirates and the rito were using bows and arrows to try and kill the evil beasts. One of the Big octos shot an ink bomb towards the deck. It hit the deck, knocking out Niko and Mako. Link launched his boomerang one more time and managed to kill a Big octo. But a great fairy didn't come out.
They concentrated on the last big octo since Jack and Nudge finished off the other one. With the combined force, they were able to strike down the big octo before the ship entered the whirlpool's eye. The Big octo gave its last breath and died. It sank to the bottom. But there was still no great Fairy that appeared. Something was wrong here.
Just then, a larger whirlpool, bigger then all three combined, emerged from the depths of the ocean. It was sucking the ship right into the middle. And in the middle, came an octo much larger then the big octo. The giant Octo stood three times higher then the ship itself. This octo had twenty eyes, all in three lines going up its head. The Giant Octo brought its huge tentacles out of the water and slashed it right next to the ship. The ship rocked as the crew desperately tried to kill it. They managed to knock out a few eyes when it did something Big Octos never do.
The Giant octo jumped up into the air and came flying down onto the center of the whirlpool. A wave formed and smashed into the ship. This caused much grief. The crew was able to hold on as Link kept launching the boomerang at the Giant Octo's eyes. Jack knew they had to kill it fast, so he did an old trick that he was taught early in life. He gathered energy and formed an orange ball of energy in his hands. He fired it at the Giant octo and it split into four different spheres. The energy bombs hit the Giant octo's eyes. There were only seven more eyes left on that thing and the ship was near the center of the whirlpool.
Jack gathered energy again and launch the same attack. It knocked out five more eyes and Link used the boomerang to destroy the last two. The Giant octo gave out a large shriek of pain as the whirlpool disappeared. It slammed into the ocean and sank to the bottom, but caused another wave to strike the ship, this time, knocking Tetra clean off the ship and into the Gyorg infested waters.
"Miss Tetra!" Gonzo screamed.
The crew rushed to the side to find Tetra, nowhere in sight. Link got onto the railing and jumped into the water. When he entered the water, he could here the pirates yelling out his name. He dove deeper and deeper until he found Tetra. She was floating with her eyes closed. Link quickly got hold of her and held her to him. She opened her eyes and looked at him. Link breached the surface as the pirates started cheering.
They quickly threw a rope down and Link grabbed a hold. She tied the rope around Tetra's waist and held on. They were quickly pulled aboard as the Gyorgs came to feast. They left again, miserable they lost their dinner, twice.
"You really are a Hero Link!" Komali cheered.
"You saved Miss Tetra!" Mako added.
"Enough with the fanfare you guys," Tetra stated. "We still have work to do."
"Yes miss!" They all replied moving to do their different work. The ritos and Jack going back to talk.
"Thanks Link," Tetra said.
"You're welcome," Link replied. "But what were you going to tell me."
"I know you might find this ridiculous," Tetra said, "But Link, I love you."
"Tetra," Link started, "I love you too."
And at that moment, while the crew was doing their work, Tetra and Link closed in. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. They both enjoyed the moment as nothing else mattered to them.
