Pinnacle Rock – above the pit – 4 days B.C.T. – 9:21 p.m.

Mikau felt something poking at his face. He drowsily woke up. "Whoizere?" He mumbled a whole sentence into one word. Then he remembered of his capture.

Urooban was standing over him. "You've slept the whole day. At first we thought the inquisitor had overdone it, but your vital signs proved otherwise."

Mikau managed to assess the seriousness of what was happening. He noticed there was a weird mechanism strapped to his back. A circular was in the center…or so he felt. A whole fleet of Gerudo boats and ships were surrounding open water above a deep pit.

He recognized it immediately as Pinnacle Rock. It was over 150 feet deep and around 25 feet wide in diameter. A while ago, it was a national monument. But the murky waters had forced nobody to come. Boats lost their bearings and Zora's couldn't see where they were going. All of them found themselves back at the entrance. None could navigate it.

"The center of Pinnacle Rock?! How the hell did you get here?! And all the boats, too?!"

Arabiel had tied up a seahorse and tossed it in the water.

"A seahorse! So that's how…" Mikau knew that they were the only creatures that were able to navigate murky waters with their glowing heads as well as intelligence superior to most fishes.

She sank until a large shadow consumed the poor seahorse. It swallowed her and returned back into the cave it had come from.

"Giant sea snakes?!"

"Yes, Zora!" Urooban confirmed. "Without all those tourists coming here, these leviathans have infested the area. We had to use the seahorse to navigate as well as bait. You needed to see exactly what you're up against.

"??? If you're going to kill me by feeding me to them, why prepare me and bring all the ships?"

"We're not killing you because we can't go down there ourselves. You're alive because you're useful."

"An awful big turnout, work, and effort just for a diving trip. What's down there that's so valuable to you?"

"While stealing the eggs, one incompetent dropped them over here. We can't dive that far and deal with sea snakes. We need you to get them for us."

Mikau pretended to know less than he really did. "You dropped them over Pinnacle Rock?!?! Damn it! They're as good as lost forever!"

Urooban grabbed him by the neck and held him up. "You're going down there and bringing those eggs to us!!!"

"Why do you want them so badly?!"

"To fulfill the legend. Once they teach us the Wave Bossa Nova, then we can enter the Great Bay Temple and steal all the treasure inside. We will be rich beyond our wildest dreams!!!"

"And……" Mikau decided Lulu's children were more important than treasure. Their survival was his number one priority. If they let the children live, he would most certainly cooperate. "What of the Zora children? Are you going to let them live?"

"After we learn the song, they will no longer be of any use to us. They will be……disposed of."

"I'll never work for scum like you."

Urooban's grip tightened around Mikau's neck. "Yes, you will. That's a bomb on your back. If you don't cooperate with us……Boom." She held up a small control device. "One click of my thumb is all it takes to end your life. In addition, we'll destroy every living thing in Zora Hall when we go to the temple. It's not exactly out of our way."

He knew Zora Cape, the rear entrance to Zora Hall, was the only place where the temple could be entered. Though they would have to raid Zora Hall at the same time they would pillage the temple. The reason why is they need a distraction to enter. If they did it before the raid, someone would be alive to stop them. If they did it too late, survivors would have informed Clock Town's mayor and then the military would be upon them in hours.

But wait! Their claims are impossible! If I don't cooperate, then they will never have the other eggs. Then there would be no possible way to enter the temple with no Wave Bossa Nova. And they must enter the temple at the same time they destroy Zora Hall. So they can't destroy Zora Hall if I don't cooperate!

But…that doesn't change the bomb on my back. What should I do?...They will never get all of Lulu's eggs. Zora's will be frantic to find them. I'm sure the ones here will be found. But I've meddled too deep into this. I will surely die today, but I will take the Gerudo dirtbags with me to hell!!!

"Do it." Urooban ordered.

"Never." Mikau's boomerangs flew out!

"You fool! You missed us!"

"I wasn't aiming for you."

She turned around. The boomerangs had penetrated a control switch! The switch that released all the torpedoes in the fleet! "Oh my god…TAKE COVER!!!!!!"

Dozens of torpedoes went out from each ship, small and large. Then there were explosions everywhere! Gerudo fell into the sea, burned, and were blown limb from limb. Engines blew, some ships began to sink.

Mikau tried to swim away. Barely managing to maintain her balance, Urooban pointed the device towards him. "Damn you, Mikau!!!"

BOOM. A huge world of stinging, fire, smoke, and pain erupted from his back. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" He sank into the darkness……

Great Bay Coast – Near Laboratory – 3 days B.C.T. – 12:05 a.m.

Mikau's body hit the water. He barely woke up.

Urooban's voice could be heard, for the most part. She sounded firm, but not aggressive. The Gerudo leader was tired. Older through the events. "You caused us a lot of trouble, you freak. And that's an understatement. 137 of our soldiers are dead. 12 missing, 52 injured or dying, 43 of which have been hospitalized. Not to mention 26 average boats and 4 0f 6 battleships have been destroyed. You've been a thorn in our sides since you entered our base.

"I hate you with every inch of my soul and being. But even I have to admit you were incredible. One brave Zora defeated an army and saved a city. You don't have a choice; you'll go down in history as the greatest Zora hero ever.

"But we can't let you live. On the other hand, I refuse to kill you directly. Looking at even more corpses is the last thing I want now. I'm sure I'll regret this, but I'm dropping you in the ocean. I hope you get digested for an eternity in the bowels of the most foul Like-Like in the sea. Farewell, Mikau."

Her boat road off. Mikau drifted through the water. Will it really end like this? And so he drifted for 7 hours…

Great Bay Coast – Near Laboratory – 3 days B.C.T. – 7:30 a.m.

"And here I am, Link."

"You've wasted too much energy telling us that. We need to get you to a hospital or something." His fairy insisted.

"No. I will pass within a few minutes. But I need you to promise me three things. First, try to rescue the eggs and purge the evil within the temple. If you can't, then please find someone who can."

"Done." Link spoke for the first time.

"Thank you. Also, if it is within your power, please heal my soul."

Link placed a little ocarina to his mouth. "I can do that. What's the third thing?"

"Tell Lulu that I'm sorry. Tell her this: 'Mikau loved you more than anything in the world. He would die for you. And he did.' That is my last message to this world. Thank you, Link."

Link began to play the ocarina. It was a very powerful song engraved in magic. The Song of Healing. Mikau found it so soothing. Before he passed, he saw a vision. Or a dream, perhaps.

He was floating in the void on its waves. But then someone swam up in front of him. It was Lulu. Then it seemed as if they were on the ground. The rest of the Indigo-gos band was behind them. Lulu looked up at him and smiled. They held arms and hands. Then they swam to the others. While swimming, they were hugging. Then the 7 little tadpoles that were the infant Zora children swam up. They formed the musical notes for the song. It was the New Wave Bossa Nova.

This was an illusion, of course. A dream floating by. The dead Mikau could not possibly be living with them. And neither the children nor Lulu were dead. The children weren't even born yet. But the very thought of such a happy end with his family, his loved ones, put Mikau to eternal peace…
