(1)The New Recruits

"That must be it," he whispered to himself. A 13-year-old boy stood at the dock. He had no shoes. On the horizon he could see a large blue T on its own island. Looking into the deep, murky water, he took in a long breath. Exhaling calmly, he walked to the edge of the dock, sat down, and jumped in with not even a ripple to show where he had gone.

"The other kid should have been here by now," sighed a teenage girl. She, two teenage boys and two other teenage girls sat waiting in the living room of the tower. Of course, the boys were already deep in their game of The Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Gamecube left sitting in front of the TV. Suddenly, from outside the tower, a boy arose from the water and walked on to the island without a single drop of water on him. The strangest part was that a strange design was on his hands, feet, and forehead.

"Whoa! Is that the triforce?" shouted one of the boys while looking back. "That kid must really like the Legend Of Zelda."

The girl at the window, named Ark Tandem, turned around to see who had said that. It was obviously the boy playing as Zelda. She turned to look one more time at the boy, but he was gone. "Where'd he...go…." Suddenly, a huge black dragon flew up from the ground and past the window. "Sweet," said the boy with the earlier comment, Kendal Mania. The other two girls, Tases Mayodan and Thereon Calare, screamed and ran. The other boy, Corm Sired, just ignored everything around him and kept playing.
