Gerudo Pirate's Fortress – Urooban's Room (Upper Level) – 4 days B.C.T. – 1:37 a.m.

Some attic. It was more like a narrow hallway with only two paths aside from the entrance (which was also the only exit). One was a dead end. The other had a barred window that overlooked all aspects of the lower level. Mikau peered inside. Two guards (which must have been the ones from earlier) were talking with a Gerudo with tons of gold jewelry and clothes. She must be Urooban. Mikau thought.

"Something has happened to Tabora. She was on duty earlier, but now she's not. She's not in her quarters, either." The new guard reported.

"Did you see Tabora at her post, Nemla?" Urooban asked lazily as she sat in her chair/throne with her head to the side.

"Yes." The veteran guard responded. "But then she –"

"Silence, Borali! I was speaking to Nemla, not you." She snapped.

"Forgive me."

Nemla continued. "Abora was at her post, the ladder of the central watchtower, one moment. And the next, she was gone without a trace."

"…Hmm…" Urooban processed this information… "…!!!...You fools! A Zora warrior is here!!!"

Mikau stumbled back. Do they see me?! Fortunately, the section of the room he was in was as beyond their sight as their hearing. They did not hear his fall or his getting back up. He breathed a small sigh of relief.

"Are you sure, Milady?" Borali asked.

"Someone with a lot of guts is definitely here. And the Zoras are the most likely. We did steal that girl's eggs, after all. Oh!" Urooban frowned. "That reminds me. You said that you would steal all 7 eggs. Where are they?"

Nemla sighed. "Apologies for the delay." Another Gerudo came forth. She was different from the others. Her clothes resembled that of a jungle trek explorer, but with a lot less layers. She also had no cloth over her head, like Urooban, and her whole orange face was revealed. Nemla handed her a bag Mikau recognized. It was the one the Gerudo were carrying away when they stole the eggs from Zora Hall a few hours ago. Nemla seemed very nervous about it, though.

"Good work, Nemla. Arabiel, bring it to me. Let's see……what the hell?!?!"

Everyone gasped when they saw the bag's contents. Even Mikau did. All except for Nemla, who looked scared peeless. Inside the bag were indeed Lulu's eggs. But only 4 of them.

"What in God's name is going on here, Nemla!?" Urooban growled.

"W-w-when I-I-I f-f-found them, I a-a-accidentally, uhh…, d-d-dropped 3 over p-p-Pinnacle Rock…"

Splat. A knife was protruding out of Nemla's forehead. Urooban had thrown it. "YOU FOOL!!! YOU LOST THEM?!?!" She raged. Poor Nemla crumbled to the floor, dead. "WHAT ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE FOR?!?!" She demanded of the remaining guards. "FIND THEM, NOW!!!"

Borali and some other guards left. "Wait one second, Arabiel. I have a special task for you. Throughout this complex are several 'fish tanks', as I'm sure you know." She pointed to a small aquarium across the room. "I want you to separate the eggs and put them in different tanks across the base. It will be harder for the Zoras to take them if they're separated."

"Yes, Milady." Arabiel tossed an egg up and into the tank. Then she left to separate the other ones. Two guards went with her in case a Zora attacked.

Mikau felt a little better. He assessed the situation. Fact one: By eliminating two guards, I was able to enter Urooban's attic, plus remove more guards from her presence. Fact two: However, this separated the eggs, making them harder to collect. Fact three: I have no way to get inside the tanks and get the eggs. If I break the glass, not only will I risk damaging the eggs, but I may trip an alarm that would make far more enemies than I could fight alone. Fact four: I also need to find a way out of here eventually and head for Pinnacle Rock. Fact five: One of the eggs is in this room, where there are still too many guards. In addition, I must also deal with Urooban as well.

Then he saw the two beehives on the room's roof, just outside the bars. He charged his boomerang and kicked the metal bars down to the floor, right in the middle of the guards! In the split second it took the guards to figure out where it had come from, he had jumped back and let the boomerangs fly. They hit one of the beehives and it fell down. Dozens of bees and wasps began to attack the Gerudo! The all-female pirates screamed in terror and ran outside! What's better is that he, having jumped back, had prevented them from seeing him.

Now the room was clear, Mikau jumped through the hole where the bars used to be and landed on the first floor. There was a huge treasure chest on a platform. Digging around inside, he found an interesting little mechanism. It had a handle connected by chains to a small spike. An engraving on the side said "Hookshot T-Class". That must be its name. But… He turned it around in curiosity. But I have no idea how it works. By the time I figure out how to use it, the Gerudos may have come back. What a shame, but it's useless to me. I don't think I can just carry it around the whole base, anyway. He put it back in the chest and closed it.

As he stepped back from it, he heard a female voice. "Don't touch that chest!!!" He swirled around. It was Urooban. She had come back to make sure the bees were gone.

"Well, well. If it isn't a Zora. Hmm…ah, yes. Mikau." Her eyes grew mad. "And just what are you doing here?! How did you get this far?!"

"It's a bit of a tale, but I'll get straight to the point. I'm getting outta here and I'm taking the eggs with me, one way or another."

"You're right about one thing. You are getting out of here." She pulled out her two swords. "And going straight to hell!!!"

Mikau blocked some blows with his arm blades. They're hard, so he can use them as shields. He countered with punching and kicking.

"It's time to die!" Urooban prepared to break through his defenses.

But Mikau had one trick he'd been saving for a good time. A voice from beyond said "R and B buttons at the same time!" (WTF?!?!) He put up his shield. It began to glow electric blue! When Urooban's blade hit it, she was electrocuted!

"AAAIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!" She jumped back, panting. "What on earth was that?!"

"Electrical fin shields. Not a very creative name, but it hurts a lot, as I'm sure you've noticed. I simply charge them with magic and…you saw the rest."

"Curse you…" Urooban got back in the fight! She lowered her swords, seeming like she was going down. However, she immediately swooped back up and struck Mikau down!

Bleeding from the chest, he tried to get back up. "That was a dirty trick! I'll……huh?"

She was holding her sword inches from his throat. "It's over. You lose."

All it took was one whistle to call guards back on to the scene. As they carried him away, Mikau punched them down and tried to run away. But the guards pounced on him, pinning the Zora. He wrestled and struggled, but it was no use. He was tied up and dragged away…
