Chapter 8: Underwater Fight
Lyric ran to tell the others of her discovery.
"The shard" she yelled as the group was gathering to dinner "The shard it's… under the water." Everyone stopped to look at her.
"What, What did you say?" Said a stunned Maxi
"The shard I was outside by the sea when my piece of soul edge started to vibrate and glow I figured the shard was in the sea"
"Well what are we waiting for" said Yunsung getting anxious getting his sword ready"
"Are you crazy it's dark outside, what if something's guarding it? You'd be killed."
"Didn't know you cared" her quipped
"I don't, we just need the man power"
"Hmm whatever"
"Look we'll go in the morning she's right its dark we'll be killed down there." Said Mitsurugi "we still need a plan though"
"I agree." Said Kilik
"Well I'll go under" volunteered Link "I have a Zora's tunic it'll help me breathe in the water if there's a fight."
"A Zora's whatsit?" Yunsung said
" A Zora's tunic it's made from a special mater…"
"Don't waste your time." Lyric snickered
"Anyway you can't go alone I'll come with you and Yunsung will to." Offered Maxi
"Thanks for asking." Yunsung mumbling
"You better take instructions though or you might find yourself drowning."
"I'm not stupid, damnit"
"Hey stop talking and listen, this can all be very easy." Lyric said a bit peeved
"Well why don't you enlighten us?" said Raphael
"Well I know a song on my ocarina that can part the sea for awhile you three can run down and get it without worrying about the water. Was that enlightening enough for you Raphael"
He just stood there the girl had some audacity and he actually liked that. This was contradicting with his first impression of her." I'm fine with that.' He said never losing his composure.
"Okay so let's eat and sleep. Tomorrow we get the shard." Maxi said
After dinner Lyric went out on deck to look out on the ocean and bumped into none other than Yunsung.
" Oh great if it isn't the proud and fearless warrior from the Kingdom of Hyrule lets bow down and beg for mercy." He said mocking her
"Shut up Red"
"Maybe I haven't begged hard enough"
"You're such a little kid"
"Really last time I liked I was older than you"
"By a year, besides I meant you had the brain capacity of a child"
"Well I'm smart enough to know a bitch when I see one."
"Really now, that doesn't make you really bright"
"Look why don't you go play with that little instrument of yours and sing to your goddesses of light or whatever."
"Damn you're so ignorant. No I won't go, you know nothing about me and my people but you stand here to mock me, so you know what I'll be a bitch but I'm not leaving"
He was a little red but instead of yelling back he just smiled because he knew that would piss the hell out of her.
"Stop looking at me like that dammit. Leave me alone."
"No I was here fist so I'm staying."
"Oh My Goddesses I hate you, fucking bastard."
"Hey watch your mouth that almost hurt my feelings." He laughed
She ended up storming out. Leaving Yunsung to think but he couldn't concentrate he just kept thinking about what just happened. Maybe he should have just left or maybe he shouldn't have started but he surely would not apologize and neither would she.
It was the day they were going to get the next shard. They all headed out onto the platform. Maxi, Link and Yunsung were getting ready to go into the ocean. Yunsung glanced back at Lyric than turned back around. Why he did that he didn't know. Suddenly she began to play the song and the sea started to split. The boats all landed on the seas bed. They got in and link was the first one in followed by Yunsung and Maxi. Link quickly found the piece.
"Already, where's the danger" Yunsung said
"Don't speak to soon." Maxi exclaimed "That was way too easy"
"Well why it can't just be easy." There was an explosion not to far away.
"That's why" maxi said.
They turned to see a Giant crab like creature. It was dark blue with turquoise stripes and it had 4 claws and a scorpion tail. It dug a hole in the sand.
"Keep your eyes peeled" yelled out Maxi "Yunsung behind you."
It was to late the creature jumped out and picked up Yunsung. Link pocketed the shard and ran to the beast soft under belly he thrust his sword up piercing the crabs flesh. It let out a bloodcurdling scream. It threw Yunsung and started to flail around. Piers and boats were being smashed left and right. Mitsurugi jumped onto the things back and stuck his sword in its head. Raphael, Xianghua, Sueng Mina and Taki jumped on and began hacking away at the pinchers. Kilik and Siegfried jumped on and drove the tail into its back. It let out a shrill cry and it buckled down and died. The warriors got off the creature and joined Maxi and Yunsung. Lyric's song was waning and Link was no where to be found.
"We have to find Link Quick" Talim exclaimed jumping into the ocean bed.
They heard a groan and turned to see Link. He limped towards them and fell down.
"Slow down we'll get you"
Kilik and Siegfried took one of Link's arms around them. They carried him to the shore and Lyric's song ended. The Ocean slammed together covering the rubble left in the battles wake.
"Is he okay she ran towards them very concerned about her friend's condition.
"Let's get him to the boat" Talim said
"Ummm…. Guys the boats gone." Said Mina
Their ship and many others were destroyed in the battle.
"Damn my boat" Maxi groaned "Now how'll we get around? It's a good thing the crew wasn't on board."
"But so many others must have died for this shard. We've got to avenge those people." said Mitsurugi
"That's nice but how we've got no transportation and a man down. We can't do much of anything." Yunsung said
"Must you do that?" Lyric snapped at him.
"Do what, tell the truth? This ain't no fairy tale things just don't happen so forgive me if things aren't bright and happy for you."
"You know what nice speech Yunsung but I think we already know things aren't bright and happy or else we all wouldn't be here. Yunsung maybe if you would stop being so pessimistic me and you could get along because the last thing we need is hopelessness among the group."
Yunsung said nothing how come she was also on his back. He was so angry he just walked away.
"He'll come back" Mina said she knew him better than anyone
"Let's look for some medicines and shelter For Link. Tomorrow we look for a ship." Maxi said" Lyric and Talim stay here with him."
Lyric and Talim nodded and the others went into the town.
