Chapter Four
Is He A Good Fighter?
Rio's Test in Skill
Rio gulped, eyes wide. Now, Link was more than worthy to travel about with, but he still felt as if he should continue with the Trial. Grinning, he clapped his hands together twice. The Zora holding onto Renla released her and backed away.
"Then, we set out now. The Blitz Cavern isn't very far off." He spoke, walking toward the door. "Follow me…"
Link blinked as they came to a stop in front of Lake Zoran; the Blitz Cavern nowhere in sight.
"Ummm…?"
"Both of you… take these…" Rio commanded, tossing the two people blue vests.
Link grinned, slipping on the Zora Tunic. Now he'd be able to stay underwater without suffocating. However, Renla just stared at it with a confused stare.
"Just put the damn thing on!" Rio spat at her.
Renla snapped up to look at him with surprised wide eyes for the two seconds before her eyes narrowed into a glare. She did put on the Zora Tunic, folding her arms afterward and feeling like an idiotic Zora while wearing it.
"Now, we have to go under the water… Blitz Cavern is under the island in the middle of Lake Zoran." The Zora Warrior informed before diving into the water.
Renla regrettably dived in after him, and Link just sighed with a shake of his head.
'They're just like the way Tetra and I were when I first met her…' he thought as he dived into the water as well. 'I wonder… will I ever see her again? I hope I'll be able to see her again after this whole adventure is finished… It would be too dangerous for her to come into the picture now…'
They swam into the small cave that was at the lake's floor, soon entering a huge room that was above the water. They were now, literally, inside of the Ice Island.
Rio jumped out of the water with a show-off-like flip, landing on his feet and folding his arms. Link slowly made his way to the ice that would be the slippery floor, and then got out of the freezing cold water.
Once Renla got to the ice, she tried to push herself up onto it, but found it harder than it looked when Link did it. She continually slipped back into the water shamefully, it must have been very embarrassing, especially since she kept on splashing water everywhere every time she fell back in.
Rio sighed, bending down and extending a hand. "I'll help you out…" he said in a bored-to-death voice.
Renla looked cautiously at his face, then at his hand. Taking it slowly, the male Zora helped her out of the water in a way that said 'I won't do anything…'
"All right, now that the Splash Fest is over, how about we continue on?" Rio asked, grinning slightly as he turned around and lead the way, deeper into the Cavern.
Link and Renla looked at each other in confusion, but then Link shrugged and walked on after Rio with Renla following from behind.
"Oh Liiiiink!" Ora: Leader of the Zoran Crew exclaimed, opening the door to Link's room, only to find that he wasn't there. "Huh? Where'd he go?"
"The Hero of Winds and that Gerudo Pirate went off with Rio to the Blitz Cavern, Miss Ora." Informed the same Zora Link and Renla had encountered before, Norm.
"What! I can't believe this! I've known Rio to have quite a temper at times, but to be pushed into doing something such as that! It's despicable! They won't come out alive!" Ora shouted in worry, pacing the room as she did so. She suddenly stopped, an idea popping into her head. "Link'll need some help… And I know exactly who to call!"
The three entered a room that was very large. In the middle of the room, however, was the strange and rare Blue Fire. Perhaps they'd need it? Maybe!
Rio took but a step forward, and that was when a black machine-like enemy flashed by, slashing at his feet. By reflex, he jumped back before it could even touch his webbed toes.
"Haahaa!" Renla laughed, slapping her forehead in amusement.
"Heh… Even I could have told you that enemies could be hidden just about anywhere in this room, Rio… You have a lot to learn when it comes to stealth and knowing whether there's an enemy near or not!" Link spoke, folding his arms and nodding his head as he agreed with himself.
Rio flushed in embarrassment, jumping over the area where the machine-enemy would have tried to hurt him. He suddenly heard the twittering of Ice Keeses flying toward him. He turned quickly, jumping up and cutting them clear in half with the sharp fins on his forearms.
Renla just grinned slightly at the sight of the Zora Warrior defeating the enemy Keeses as Link clapped his gloved and gauntleted hands for the victory.
Rio smiled once he landed safely back on the ground, but then he noticed that there was one more enemy in the room, and inside of this icicle enemy was a frozen Treasure Chest. Renla laid her eyes upon the chest and her eyes began to sparkle.
"Oh my! Look there! It's a Treasure Chest! I just love them! The treasure inside must be wonderful!" she exclaimed, showing the two boys that she was really a Gerudo Pirate who hunted for treasure lots of times.
"I'll get it." Rio spoke, crossing his arms out in front of his face; aiming at the icicle enemy that could freeze him in a block of ice once it caught sight of him. "Hiyah!"
He shot out his two fins like boomerangs at the enemy, hitting it four times before it melted and Rio's fins returned to him. The three of them ran up to the treasure chest, opening it and finding a Small Key hidden inside of it. They all smiled at each other.
"Let's go to the next room!"
Author's Notes:
Rezu: I'm SO Sorry! This might not be as expected, but this is all I could come up with for a starter… And I know that this might seem a little bit like Ocarina of Time, but there's not a lot I can use from Wind Waker anymore! .:sweatdrop:. Anywho, I've got a bigger idea for the boss… So I'll make this Cavern a small one since I wanna get to the Boss Battle All ready!
Rown: Do what you want, Ice-Ball…
