TRUE COURAGE FOUND

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or anything else, except this story, on Suikoden IV.

Link, Kika, Lino, Jango, and Elenor were making plans for their next destination, when all of a sudden Wendel came charging in, yelling "Captain! The mermaids are back and they say that there are 5 Gaien Galleons."

"What!" was everyone's response.

Link immediately took charge. "Wendell, bring the sisters here now!" Wendell nodded and left right away. "We need to determine there exact location before we do anything."

"I agree." Elenor said.

"You don't think its more ships joining us?" Jango asked.

"Five ships at once?" Lino replied, "Not likely, it's probably our 'friend' Vingerhut paying us back for loosing Razril for good this time.

"Definitely," Link responded, "I know that sorry excuse for a human being. One of the things he hates the most is losing, and losing Razril to a bunch of 'no good pirates' is eating away at him right now."

The mermaids came in, and gave a respective bow to everybody in the room.

"We need you to tell us where those ships are and their distance from the fleet." Kika ordered.

The sisters nodded and told them what they needed to know.

After they were finished and left, Link and the others with him decided to come up with a plan.

Link and Lino came up to the bridge, both with a grim look on their faces.

"What's wrong, Father? Link?" Flare asked

"We have five Galen ships coming at us in all directions, three hours away from us." Lino answered

"What?" Flare responded

"Captain Link, two of our ships are backing off right now!" Nalleo yelled out.

"So is the Grieshund!" Eugene yelled out right after Nalleo.

"Relax!" Link called out, "Their just staying behind so that way they could give our 'guests' a little surprise when I give them the signal."

Everyone on the bridge was silent for the moment.

Link stood there for a few second before yelling out, "Everyone, get ready for a fight!"

The people on the bridge did exactly what they were told.

Link headed out the door, which lead to the deck outside.

Sorry if this seems a little short, but I'm having a little trouble deciding on how to continue this, so I let you choose: I can have Snowe give his father a tour of the ship, or you can come up with a little suggestion. Read and Review.
