TRUE COURAGE FOUND

TRUE COURAGE FOUND

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

Author's note: The names I chose for the game are as follows; the hero's name is Link, the ship's name is the Dauntless, and the army's name is the Crusaders.

Two and a half hours later . . .

Everything and almost everyone on the Dauntless were all ready just as the first set of sails were spotted over the horizon. "Captain Link, we're being surrounded on all sides by Gaien galleons!" Nico yelled out.

"Locate the flagship, Nico! Vingerhut likes to show off as much as possible, despite the situation!" Link ordered, "Give the coordinates to the ninjas so that they can inform the other ships."

"Flagship straight off our forward bow, Captain!"

"Wendel, go down to the second floor and tell the ninjas to give the other captains what they need to know." He ordered her, "And tell Konrad to come out with the flag."

Wendel nodded and left.

Vincent Vingerhut was feeling more than anxious to get his revenge on that brat that has cost him Razril and humiliated him on more than one occasion. On the bridge, he was starting to wonder whatever happened to Snowe. The last he heard about him was that Snowe became a pirate after being prevented from docking at the harbor by the citizens in Razril, but that was about it.

"Lord Vingerhut!" One of his soldiers snapping him out of his thoughts, "One of our lookouts say that he spotted what appears to be Master Konrad holding a white flag." He said while saluting.

"What did you just say?" He yelled out before running out the door. As soon as he was near the front of the ship, he saw something he never expected to see: a familiar, bearded man waving a white flag to prevent any fighting from starting. "I thought you said you were through with wars."

"Because sitting back while others risk their lives to protect others is something that I and Glen agreed that we would never do." Konrad said, showing no fear, "Plus, I also see a lot of Glen inside that boy."

"So tell me, why the flag?" Vingerhut was getting impatient.

"Because, I want to see if we can set the record straight without resorting to spilling the other's blood." Link answered, "A lot of things changed since that first mission involving Brandeau and now is the time for you to finally know what you are up against."

"And what's to stop from ordering my soldiers to attack you now?" Vingerhut asked voice full of cockiness.
