Grinning, the pirate stepped closer to the king. "Nothing gets past you, does it, old boy?" He laughed heartily as several guards nearby drew their swords. "You might as well order your guards at ease, Harkinian. I have several members of my crew nearby. I don't want to cause anything too desperately tragic."

"Then what do you want here?" King Harkinian asked.

"The Triforce."

"I'm not just going to hand it over to you!!" the King roared.

"Why?" Flynn asked calmly, rubbing some dirt out from underneath one of his fingernails. "Better me than Gannondorf, isn't it?"

"As long as it's in the hands of a villain like you, it isn't better either way!" Zelda shouted indignantly.

Flynn's gaze shifted from his nails to Zelda. He stepped slowly closer. Eventually, he stood directly in front of the table, leaning towards her. "You know Harkinian, I'm afraid that if you don't take this chance to give me the Triforce, you may have to suffer the consequences."

"Guards, attack him!" the King bellowed.

Flynn jumped on top of the table and put two fingers in his mouth, whistling loudly. The knights jumped as pirates came crashing through the windows on the sides of the castle, some swinging in on vines.

"WHERE IN DIN'S NAME DID THOSE VINES COME FROM?!" Impa yelled, taking out her sword as well and thrusting it towards one of the pirates.

One particularly large knight still had one of his hands grasping Link's wrists together tightly, while battling a pirate at the same time. Link fought endlessly to free himself, but it was all in vain.

"You'd better get out of here while you can, Princess!" Kishik roared, swinging his blade at one of the scalawags (a/n: dont u love that word?). "Make a run for it, now!"

Zelda hastened to obey. She ducked as a knight was sent flying over her head, and then managed to bump into Captain Flynn.

"Going somewhere, sweetheart?" he asked her, grinning and showing several golden teeth. He reached out a hand and grabbed her by the wrist. "I think I'd better take you with me until your father comes to his senses."

"NO, GET OFF ME, YOU PIRATE!!" the princess yelled, struggling to no avail.

"Come now, I really do believe that it would be best," Flynn said, dragging her towards the main doorways. He whistled again, using his free hand, and said, "LET'S SCUTTLE, MEN!"

Letting out several whoops of victory, the pirates flew out the doors of the castle, several with torches in hand.

By this time, Flynn had managed to make a gag for Zelda using his crimson-colored bandana. "C'mon men, let's burn this city to the ground!!"

Zelda watched in horror as the buccaneers threw their torches into random houses and shops, laughing menacingly as elves came darting out of their houses, screaming. With their swords drawn, the pirates ran towards the dock by the ocean.

"You have your King to thank for this!" the pirate captain laughed loudly, addressing the Hylians staring at him with terror in their eyes. "He refused to negotiate! Best have a word with him if you want your princess back!"

There were more screams as the band of pirates leapt onto their giant ship and cast away. Several of the Hylian men took out guns and shot after the bucaneers.

"Augh, those blasted Hylians!" cried a red-headed woman with a cockney accent, grabbing her shoulder where she'd been shot. "SARIA, MAN THE CANNONS!!!...I mean WOMAN THE CANNONS!!"

Growling, a green-haired woman named Saria ran to one of the cannons and lit it. A large black cannon ball flew towards the land, as the ship pulled farther and farther away from shore. It landed several feet away from the castle, causing the shootings to come to an immediate halt.

"Phew!" said the red-haired woman, taking off her bandana and using it to fan her face. She laughed. "That was fun. I plundered the town's jeweler--look at this!!"

"Malon, you're one of the best!" Saria laughed, as Malon went on to take several jewels from different parts of her clothes. "Wonder how much we could hawk that ruby for. . .Goddesses!!"

"Well done, Malon," Flynn said, walking towards the two of them and un-gagging (is that a word?) Zelda. "Ladies, meet our newest prisoner."

"Hmm..." Saria said, walking up towards Zelda and running a hand down one of the princess's sleeves. "You're a princess, aren't you?"

"That she is," Flynn said. "Took her from right underneath the King's nose, the bloody fool!" He laughed loudly again. "And you two won't believe who else was there."

"Who?"

Flynn drew himself up in a noble manner, and said, "Prince Kishik of Nacirema."

"WHAT?!" Malon and Saria screeched in unison. "THAT TRAMP WAS THERE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DONE TO PEOPLE LIKE US?! WE USED TO LIVE UNDER HIS RULE, AND HE NEVER LIFTED A FINGER TO TRY AND HELP US--"

"I believe that's enough, girls," Flynn interrupted. "Since I believe that the dear Princess Zelda will be staying with us a while, why don't you show her where she'll be staying for the mean time?"

"Sure," Saria said (who also spoke with a cockney Eliza Dolittle accent, just in case you're wondering). "Right this way, girlie." She put a hand roughly on Zelda's shoulder and guider her towards a room located right behind the helm.

"Nicest place on the ship, it is," Malon remarked, closing the door behind the three of them. "The Cap'n has it reserved for any of our. . .royal guests."

Zelda stared at the room (which was indeed very nice), and didn't notice that she was trembling terribly. Saria noticed this, and walked over to her.

"Don't be scared, love," she said softly. "Flynn ain't gonna do anything to you. He's only keeping you here until he gets what he wants. There's nothing to fear. . .for now, anyways. What's he want, anyhow?"

"The Triforce," Zelda stammered, sitting on the edge of the bed. "And I. . .I don't know what I'll do if he--"

"Yes, well, no time to think of that now," Malon interrupted curtly. "But like Saria said, you'll be taken care of here. Nothin' to be afraid of. Besides, the Cap'n always makes sure he's courteous to the ladies. Like us, for instance. We're the only female pirates on board, you know."

"How'd you two. . .get here?"

"We kinda forced him to take us," Saria explained. "He looted our entire island, and we had no family left, no money, nothin' to do, and we were bored. He was gettin' ready to leave, and we asked him if he'd take us with him."

Malon shrugged. "It took him awhile to finally give in, but he did eventually. The two of us--we ain't afraid of nothin'."

"Well actually, I'm a bit afraid of that Kishik fellow," Saria said, opening a closet that revealed several nice-looking dresses. "He's one of the best sailors I know, the bloody ingrate."

"Yeah, and if Flynn's smart, he'll stay away from him," Malon huffed. "But of course, there's only one pirate Flynn's ever been afraid of."

Zelda drew herself back towards her pillows and drew her legs up to her chest. She wanted to ask who, but she still didn't feel very comfortable around these two.

"Yeah," Saria said. "The Black Bandit--he wears a black mask over his face, and he's the best sword-waving scalawag of the seven seas!"

"What about. . .Long John Silver? Isn't Flynn afraid of him?" Zelda inquired timidly. Malon laughed.

"Who, that old bum? We call him Underwear Silver. Y'know, Long John. . . underwear. . .oh, forget it. A princess wouldn't get it, anyway."

"Oh, but the Bandit!" Saria sighed dreamily, putting a hand to her forehead dramatically. "How ruggedly handsome he is! I wish someday he'd carry me away and ask me to--"

"Oh, put a sock in it," Malon grumbled. "Our chances of ever getting together with him are a million to one."

"Ah well. Anyways. . .we'll see you tomorrow, Princess."

Zelda attempted to say good-night as the two left and shut the doors, but her voice was caught in her throat.
