A/N: It's been a while since I've played Wind Waker, so my dungeon designs may not be accurate.
Chapter 2:
Twilight and Link looked at each other before making their way forward, climbing the stairs in front of them. The first thing they saw were search lights passing across the floor just above them.
"That's just great! Hmm… We need some way to pass under those lights undetected." twilight said. She noticed Link go for one of the barrels, slipping it over his head and body. "You know that'll never work!" Just the same, Twilight carefully cut out a visor for him. Link made his way up to the next level. Upon reaching it Twilight noticed a search light heading his way. Having noticed the same, Link stopped and knelt, letting the barrel completely cover his body. The search light passed over the barrel and kept going. Link started moving again when it was clear.
Twilight, her logic beaten, shrugged and waited for Link to make it to the top. It was slow going for him, but eventually he did, and Twilight used her magic to feel him out, locking onto him before teleporting her to his location. Link jumped slightly when she appeared before glaring slightly at her. The two looked around, spotting a section of stone wrapping around the archway they were in front of. Deciding to follow it, they climbed the ramping stone until they reached a lookout tower. One at a time they climbed up the ladder until they were both atop the tower.
In front of them was a pair of spotlights manned by a creature that resembled a goblin. It had purple skin, pointed ears and snout, and wore raggedy clothing. Twilight inched closer, placing a hand on her sword as Link looked for a weapon to use. As Twilight stepped closer, the creature stood straight up, ears perked. The spotlights, now no longer being operated, moved to the neutral position as the creature jumped off the stand to engage the two. It wielded a wooden staff in two hands as Twilight unsheathed her sword. The creature dashed at her, swinging its staff like a sword, which Twilight blocked with her sword as Link kept looking for a weapon. The two continued to trade ineffective blows until, at one point, the creature jumped back to try a different tactic. Twilight took this chance to move in for a death blow, lunging with a stab that caused her sword to sink into the creature's chest, the tip poking out of its back as dark red blood dripped out. Focusing magic to her sword, she grabbed the hilt with both hands and swung upwards, her enhanced blade slicing through the creature's neck and head like butter as blood sprayed out. The now dead monster collapsed as Twilight shook her sword to get the blood off of it.
"Come on, Link. We need to move." She said as she sheathed her sword. Link nodded, a little green at the brutality but followed the unicorn as she climbed down. The two moved through the fortress, Twilight fighting some more monsters as Link watched. After taking out the other three towers, they then moved to the largest tower, which was where Link's sword fell. They climbed, taking out more monsters until the reached the top. After crossing a barrier, spikes rose to block their path. The only door around was also locked.
"Great, seems we have to fight." Twilight said as she spotted a green monster like at the towers. This one wielded a sword and wooden shield, so Twilight instantly unsheathed her sword as Link went to retrieve his. Twilight and her opponent got locked into a sword fight, with the monster dealing more damage to her than she was to it. The fight remained in the favor of the monster as it used its shield to block all of Twilight's slashes, eventually pushing Twilight's sword away and lunging at her with its sword, scoring a direct hit just to the left of her stomach, the sword piercing straight through. She gripped the blade with one hand and used the other to cut off the monster's hand before it could release the sword. The monster gripped its bleeding stump with its other hand, allowing Link, having grabbed his sword earlier, to finish the fight with a thrust to the back, the sword poking out of its chest. Link pulled his sword back out as the monster collapsed. Twilight groaned slightly as she assessed the damage. She thanked her lucky stars that the blade wasn't poisoned and that it missed her vitals. She eased the sword out with her magic before conjuring a roll of bandages to wrap around her abdomen, using some of the bandages to wrap her other wounds. Once her wounds were sufficiently dressed, she looked at Link.
"The door's open, we can continue." She said. Twilight and Link walked to the door, pushing it open, entering the tower. Once inside they notice a cage over to the left with three girls inside. Link recognizes one of the girls and runs over with Twilight not far behind. After a somewhat cozy reunion, Twilight's ears pick up the sound of flapping wings and tries to find the source, in the meantime pulling Link away from the cage. The source reveals itself a second later with a loud thud. Twilight and Link spin around and see a humongous bird towering over them, its beak covered with a mask. It bends down and grabs Link and Twilight in said beak before taking flight again, circling around the tower to what looks like a ship mounted to the top.
Standing outside of the ship is a dark-skinned man, clad in an old-style kimono. He looks at the two in the bird's beak before giving a nod to the side. Having received its instructions, the bird tosses its passengers out to sea. The two hit the water with a hard splash. Link is instantly knocked out, but Twilight manages to stay conscious for a little while longer. She sees a boat coming toward them and smiles before blacking out, the last thing she feels being someone lifting her aboard.
Twilight and Link have been rescued by a mysterious man. What adventures await the pair, and will Twilight find her friends?
