Chapter:3 the wave

As Link climbed up the side of the ship to see what was happening Tetra was giving the orders to load the catapult. "Gonzo, take the wheel turn us 120 degrees port, or that wave is going to crush us"! Tetra was about to go get link to change the winds when another prewave hit the ship knocking her oberboard off the boat. "Woh" Link said as the wave almost crashed into him "I need to find Tetra". As he

was getting on he saw Niko was carrying another cannonball when the wave hit, he haddropped the ball on one particular spot of the ship that had been rotting but ignored. "Uh, oh" Niko stared as the ball fell straight into the lower deck... Then into the ocean.

Nudge was about to go and keep the dishes and stuff from falling out of there place when he stepped in a puddle of water that was quickly growing. Nudge couldn't believe it this ship had been through thick and thin without so much as a drop getting in the hull "Miss Tetra!! We have a deep gash in the hull and where sinking fast" he yelled. Then he saw the deep hole in the cealing. "NIKO"!!!!!! The

third in command yelled. "ye, yes s, sir" the swabie replied from the top of the hole. "Get down here and help me patch this hole up, before the captain has you hanged" Nudge said. When Link got to the door for the lower deck of the ship the sky was turning dark with storm clouds and was raining hard. He knew he had to

change the winds but the winds keep blowing towards the big wave no matter what he did with the wind waker. He looked around to find Tetra but only saw Gonzo stering and Mako trying to figure out how this was happenig. Link ran to the lower deck to be greeted by a knee deep pool. "What the world happened here" he said to Nidge, Niko, and Zuko who had just stop eating his squid cassorole. "Niko dropped a cannon ball through the ship boards and made a hole in the ship" Nudge

replied. Link glared at Niko but just asked "Well what did Tetra say to do". The pirates had a confused and wet face "We thought the miss was on the deck with Gonzo" Zuko said. "Oh, no" Link said and started running to Tetra's room. Knock, knock... He opened the door and looked everywhere to no avail. "Oh man, oh man" he wihspered to himself "we are so dead"

Tetra came out of the water only to be pushed back down from the ever growing waves. She had not expected that wave to be so strong. "HELP" she screamed before she was pushed back down. All she could do was try to stay alive and hope some one hears her. "HE-" was all she could say before the waves caused her to choke on her words. Now she was more worried about keeping her head above the water. Then she saw her ship in the distance, heading straight for the big one in only a minute until they reach the wave. "Those boneheads better not sink my ship" she thought to herself" and started swiming to the ship still battleing the waves.

Link was now In a state of extreme panic "If we don't find Tetra we won't be able to escape this" he yelled in his brain. "The ships sinking, a giant wave is less than a minute away, our captains missing and I lost my hat somewhere in the ocean. He was about to check the look out when he heard Gonzo shouting orders to abondon ship "Wait, wait isn't that a little like giving up and committing suicide at the same time. I mean our captain is missing and your going to jump in the middle of that" he said pointing to the white caped ocean. "But we don't know what else to do" Gonzo replied, kinda girlish too. "I for one agree with the kid" said Senza as he came out of the lower deck soaking wet "We have a ship to protect and a missing captain, this ship is our only hope for survival". By now the wind was so strong that they had to yell to be heard. Tetra saw that the wave was only thirty seconds away and she was runnig out of steam. She was only about fifty feet fromher ship when she saw it.

"We don't have much time hurry the wave is comming" Link yelled as he was tightining the masts "this is no time to be slacking off"! "Hey hey hey. Who made you incharge shrimp" Gonzo said. "Back off, you didn't suggest anything better did you" Senza said "plus your not doing anything." "I suggested that we abandon sh-" Gonzo said before. "BRACE FOR IMPACT"
