Chap 9: Flight
"So you are saying that Gonzo, the same rum drunk pirate that threw me overboard, has the triforce of power" Link said with a look of shock on his face. Midnight shuffled around in the tiny boat "well, yes. He got it when the wave passed, your ship was not damaged when I flew over, except for the hole in the front" Midnight said. "Did they manage to fix the hole" Link asked. Midnight was stearing clear of a small group of octoroks "I went down their and it wasn't hard to get thier undetected, so to them the hole patched it's self and all the water flew out" Midnight said as he shot a octorok with a bow and arrow that materialized in his hands. Link then used his boomerang to finish them of "So why are the pirates at Dragon Roost" Link asked.
"I do not know, but I do know that Zelda drifted there based on the location she fell of and the currents" Midnight said. Link wondered if Midnight knew that Zelda was Tetra he leaned back "Hey doc, you think he knows about Tetra" He asked the boat. The king turned his head slightly and whispered "I do not believe he knows, let's just surprise him" Link nodded, boy Midnight is in for a rude awakening if he thinks that Tetra is Princess Zelda. Well she is kinda Zelda but not really princess material, Link laughed at the thought of Tetra wearing that pink dress and those elbow gloves. "But I think the pirates are going there to get Zelda, and use her as ransom or something" Midnight said.

Medli was unconscious and Tetra was already almost at the bottom. Tetra new she had to think of something quick, maybe if she turned her body so she could land in the water. Tetra tried to contort her body in different shapes but she was to close to the jagged rocks. "Medli wake up" Tetra kept repeating to herself. Then a unknown Rito jumped up from the crowed "I will not just stand here and watch these kids fall to there do-" the Rito said before a cannonball killed him. Gonzo smiled and looked at the other Rito "Does anyone else want to join him" He said pointing at the dead Rito. "Thats what I thought" Gonzo said when no one said a word. "Now if you want to keep everyone else alive don't stop me from getting Valoo" Gonzo said and turned to walk back down the mountain.

"So how did you get on that pirate ship" Midnight asked Link. Link did not really want to talk "I was looking for adventure" Link said. Midnight got the hint and kept quiet. "The waves are remarkably beautiful today" Midnight thought to himself "If only Midna was still alive". "Hey, Do you have any brothers or sisters" Link asked Midnight. Midnight did not hear him at first "Midnight" Link said as he shook Midnight's shoulder "What" Midnight said after he had been given a couple shakes "Sorry, I was thinking of my sister" Midnight said to Link. "Well that already answers my question" Link laughed. "What question" Midnight asked. "Oh nothing, I just asked if you had any brothers or sisters, no big" Link replied. "Do you" Midnight said back. Link had not been asked about Aryll in a long time "Yes, she was kidnapped and I saved her" Link replied. "How old is she" Midnight asked. Link thought back to her birthday she was four years younger "nine" Link said back. "So you have a younger sis, Pretty lucky if you ask me I had a big Sister" Midnight replied. "Well little sisters can be very, wait, had?" Link said. "Don't want to talk about it" Midnight said as he turned to look to the sea. "Wait, you said we were going to dragon roost, why don't we use the wind waker to teleport there" Link said. Midnight and the doc looked at each "Well, this is embarrassing" Doc said. "Fire it up Link" Midnight said smiling.

Tetra was praying now hoping anything would save her "I promise to never hit Niko on Thursday" She said over the wind. "How did it get so windy so fast" She thought. Then in a fraction of a second she landed and closed her eyes. But she did not feel dead, she lifted one eye and was staring into Links green eyes. "Looks like we got here just in time" said a voice she did not recognized. "Where's Medli" She said to link. "What" Link did not know what she was talking about. "Talking about the falling Rito Ten stories up" said the Dark thing next to her. "What are you" Tetra said to Midnight. "I got it" He said and what happened next was unbelievable, Midnight opened his 14 foot wings. "Whoa" Link said his mouth gaping. "Rito's wings are attached to their arms right" Tetra said. "He is not a Rito" Doc said. "Link, is that who I think it is" Tetra said. Link looked a t the boat, "If you mean the king of red lions, then, yes but I renamed him to doc"
"Obviously thinking that I have no feelings" Doc said smiling. Tetra looked up at Midnight only a few feet from Medli "So what is his story" Tetra asked Link. "I just meet him, all I know is that he has, or had a sister" Really.
