Ocarina of Time

Wind Waker (Duh)

The Minish Cap

Four Swords

Flash

Aryll gripped the bars of the cell.

"My big brother is really ok? Do you think he'll survive?" she asked eagerly, staring at Tetra.

"I don't know, now stop asking such stupid questions!" Tetra answered.

"Ok..." said Aryll.

After some exploration, Tetra had managed to find Aryll's location. Her boyfriend's little sister wasn't her favorite person by any means, but the pirate had to admit, she was relieved to find her.

"Pssst! Over here!" said a voice from the nearby window.

"What the...?" Tetra mumbled, walking over to it.

"Daphness Nohansen Hyrule!"

Yep. The king was levitating there by the window.

"So it's true! You ARE back! But I thought you committed sui--"

"Yes, yes, so did Link," interrupted he. "But I didn't come here for chitchat. I came here to seek information, and if I don't get caught, I might be able to get Aryll out of here. But not you. Sorry, kid, but you're a danger to everyone else."

Tetra glared for a moment, but then asked, "Information, did you say? Information about WHAT?"

"About the enemy, dumbass!" groaned Daphness, rolling his eyes. "DUH! No one can kill Bambi, or any other enemy at large for that matter, unless their weaknesses are known. Do you know anything about her?"

"Not much. Just that she's evil and she masturbates a lot, and that she likes to use chains and spikes during sex play."

"Umm...that's not exactly what I needed to know. But oh well. Do you know anything, perhaps, VALUBLE?"

Tetra was silent for a moment.

"...No," she said slowly.

"I know how to count to 30!" piped Aryll.

"Aryll, SHUT UP..." Tetra snarled, rolling her eyes.

Aryll just started counting.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

Shaking her head, Tetra turned back to Daphness and said, "Maybe she's, like, vulnerable to light?"

"Hmm...there's a good chance. I mean, that is like, SOOO classic..." replied the king.

"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty..."

Daphness and Tetra stopped conversing a moment to give Aryll annoyed looks before continuing the chat.

Tetra started, "Wait a minute, what if she catches y--"

Aryll counted louder.

"TWENTY-FIVE, TWENTY-SIX, TWENTY-SEVEN--"

"ARYLL, SHUT UP!" Tetra yelled, picking up a rock and throwing it at Aryll with impeccable aim.

"OW!" cried Aryll, falling unconcious.

Tetra took a deep breath to ease her nerves, and began to say what she was going to say before interuppted.

"What if she just waltzes in here right now, catches you, and like, kills you or something?" she asked worriedly.

"No, she won't...I don't think... Besides, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. You see, I've been reading this..." Daphness held up a book about mind reading. "And I'm gonna, like, be all cool and read her mind."

"She can still kill you."

"Pardon me, but I am WAY too powerful to even be SCRATCHED by such a young person! After all, I AM the king of this land..."

"Not anymore, you abomination!" said an angry, most unwanted voice accompanied by the loud sound of the oaken door slamming shut.

Tetra stiffened. This was not good, not good AT ALL...

"Excuse me?" Daphness said, rather incredulously, and obviously highly insulted.

Said Bambi, fists clenched, staring angrily at the king, "You heard me. You stupid, intruding abomination! I DEMAND you leave, or I will FORCE you!"

Tetra turned to look at Bambi. She seemed furious, maybe slightly annoyed, but the surprising part was that also, although she hid it fairly well, Bambi seemed scared and upset by Daphness' presence.

Why does she seem afraid of Daphness Nohansen Hyrule...? He doesen't pose THAT much of a threat... Or...does he? Tetra thought.

"You little bitch, you can't tell ME what to do!" snapped the king haughtily.

Bambi hesitated, her eyes widening slightly.

"Yes...I can!" she said.

"WRONG! Now I am going to discover your weakness!" exclaimed Daphness, shutting his eyes and putting his newly acquired physcic knowledge to the test.

Tetra watched, wide-eyed as Bambi shut her eyes tightly, put her hands to her head, and let out a sudden, sharp, uncharacteristic shriek.

Images flashed in the king's mind; peculiar images... He viewed a princess, much like his own Zelda, a collapsing castle, and the...Four Sword! Suddenly, the "slideshow" stopped. Daphness opened his eyes.

Bambi stared at him, eyes more wide and fearful than ever before. She was sweating and breathing heavily; she appeared to be in shock.

Finally, she regained her senses narrowed her eyes, and sent a dark energy ball at Daphness as she screamed, "GET OUT! GET...OUT!"

Daphness got hit by it, and was knocked out of the air. Luckily, he managed to recover quickly, and using some of his powers, was also able to land on his feet.

"I'll be back!" he called defiantly before disappearing.

Bambi turned a livid eye to Tetra.

"You fucking bitch! This is something DEFINATELY worthy of IMMEDIATE punishment! Now...GO INTO MY BEDROOM AND WAIT FOR ME!" She smirked evilly. "I'm gonna make you scream."

Tetra, although she was very much against the punishment implied, remained cool as she said, "Next time, do a better job at masking your fears, Bambi..."

Bambi was outraged by this. With a dangerous expression, she hissed darkly, "Do as you're told..."

Tetra walked slowly to the door, rested a hand on the frame, and stopped. She turned to look at Bambi briefly before closing her eyes and shaking her head. The pirate's exit proceeded.

A moment later, after a few seconds' deep thought, Bambi went to the doorway herself. As Tetra did, she turned around, but instead looked at the window.

Wiping sweat from her brow and hoping that the king of Hyrule had not found out more than she wanted him to know, Bambi slipped out of the room.
