Chapter 11
Mina's Pov
Last night was relaxing, we were able to finally take a much needed bath and regain our energy. But today is back to work, our goal now is to meet with the leader or they like to call governor of the city. We walked through the streets stopping to try the local food on the way. My favorite so far was something they called takoyaki and shaved ice. We got stopped every few streets by locals. They were intrigued by the wide arrange of hair color we each had, Sydonna and Jasper being the tallest of the group got jumped on by children, apparently people here don't get no taller than me. A lot of the guys fell for Sydonna for being an eye catch, the combination of her scales, natural skin, hair and eyes were a favorite. People loved Amane's crimson colored eyes and hair, he was mistaken for an elderly woman at first for how white his hair is, poor kid. Me and Jasper's hair and eye color were also unheard of here, they couldn't believe we were siblings because our hair and color were different. Tindu got his cheeks pinched by older women for being so cute and short.
After all that we made it to the governor's building, Erika had to talk to the people standing at the desk and we were led into his office.
(New thing, for when they talk now it'll be their name followed with : and their lines, this makes it easier to know who's talking. If there was only just them five still it wouldn't be a cluster fuck)
Governor Raiji: Welcome to my city, you're new here. May I help you with anything?
Erika: Yes governor, my friends here are from Hyrule. Their land was attacked by the invaders that left those pillars here and the other countries. They're here to help.
Governor Raiji: And I'm supposed to believe that these children will be able to shut those things down? Look miss this isn't a game, there are lives at stake and sending children who think this is some grand adventure is not the way to do things.
Erika: But they're the only ones who can do it. Believe me when I tell you, they have all they need to put an end to this. The leader of this invasion is on his way back here for their instruments and if they don't shut everything down to weaken him before he comes, it'll be the end for all of us.
Ayano: It's true sir, they even helped us take down that monster in the Indigo Forest. It wasn't easy, but you must trust us when we say they're our only hope.
Amane: Please we don't have much time.
Sydonna: We won't disappoint you, we're very capable fighters. We've been fighting for years now, well Tindu and Amane not much, but they show great promise.
Mina: Whaddaya say, we promise you.
Sydonna's Pov
I can't believe he kicked us out, what a…. this is pg, let's keep it that way. We walked out the building onto the street. We sat on the curb sulking.
Sydonna: What do we do now?
Jasper: We don't need his approval to shut those things down, let's just go about our way and get it over with.
Erika: That's a problem, the laws in this country are different. You have to be certified to participate in something like this. Hyrule is quite different I have to say, do you guys just rush and do things like this?
Tindu: Not really, there hasn't been much of a threat for some time. But even in Hyrule you kinda have to be certified to fight in war or something like that, but other than that some of the people are able to handle themselves.
Ayano: Who cares about the laws? *gets up* We can do this without them knowing, if we're discreet about it.
Amane: She's right, we have no time to wait on no one else anyway. Let's just see about getting some transportation.
We all got up and went for our next goal. We walked for like an hour till we got to a garage on the outskirts of the city.
The place was the definition of shady, we walked through the big entryway. It was dark, smelly and I would hope that's oil on the floor. All was silent, Erika casually walked in and turned on one of the lights.
Amane: Erika, what are you doing?
Erika: Don't worry the owner is a friend of mine, she usually turns the lights off when she doesn't have business or is out causing trouble in the town with her cousins.
Erika walks into a room in the far corner at the back of the garage.
Erika: Hey Maemi, where are ya at idiot!
There was clatter like something fell and soon followed by another crash. A girl came running tripping over a bucket full of some liquid, a table and some other crap. 'Talk about clumsly.' I thought.
She ran up to Erika giving her a big hug.
Maemi: Oh it's so good to see you Erika. Ever since that fiasco with them pillars, you haven't been around.
Erika: Yeah, the way between Kawa Village and this side of the forest was being guarded by some monster. With the help of these six we were able to kill it and get past.
The girl Maemi ran over to us shaking each of our hands.
Maemi: Thank you all for bringing my friend back to me. It's been so long since we caught up, I owe you guys. Tell me what ya need.
Erika: *walks to the group* Well Maemi, they're in need of a car or some form of transportation to get around.
Maemi: Wow, it's pretty dangerous to be gown out in the wild now.
Mina: We're going to shut down those pillars, that's why we need them.
Maemi: Oh, well I wish I could help. But most of the parts I use come from my cousins and I haven't seen them for a while. After that thing we did a few months ago, they've been in hiding.
Jasper: I'm not even gonna question what you guys did.
Erika: These fools are the delinquents of the town. They've only had each other and they do everything together, even the dangerous things.
Tindu: Sounds like us in Hyrule, but we could never hide. There were eyes everywhere.
Maemi: Wow you guys must have caused some crazy trouble, that they needed that much security.
Sydonna: No, we're royals of the different races around the country. I'm am Sydonna Princess of the Zora, daughter of the Zora King Sidon and Gerudo Zora Queen Kyra.
Mina: Princess of Hyrule Mina and my brother the Prince of Hyrule Jasper, children of the ruling monarchs of Hyrule Queen Zelda and King Link.
Tindu: Prince Tindu, son of Paka and grandson of current Chief Riju of the Gerudo.
Amane: Amane runaway Yiga and the teams mechanic on weaponry and vehicles. Nice to meet you.
Ayano: And I'm Ayano, the chief's daughter from Kawa Village just here to see the world.
Maemi: Nice to meet you all, I have a question for Sydonna. If your mom is a Gerudo and he's from the same race, how are you different? What are Zora exactly?
Sydonna: Zora are aquatic fish people, so I took a few features like the height, skin pattern, scales and stubby legs from my father. The dark brown skin and red hair is from my mom, both eye colors are from both of them.
Maemi: Interesting and Amane is it, you said you work on the team's weapons and vehicles? You're only a kid.
Amane: Hey don't let this kid fool you. If we didn't leave most of the weapons back home, I could show you what I worked on. Only thing I could grab was their melee weapons.
Ayano: Just their melee weapons, what other items did you all use.
Amane: Well my friend, we make up one unique team of fighters. If anything I think we're the best in our country and with all the training we received from Sy's mom and her knowledge passed down to me on technology. I was able to make custom weapons for them all. Mina uses a bow and arrow, which also acts as a sword when the time is needed, but she prefers distant range weapons her special weapon is a custom made rifle that doesn't just shoot normal rounds, but also explosive rounds. Tindu here uses a multi-blade gavier a traditional Gerudo weapon, with the right mathematics and parts I was able to allow the blades free motion with the use of a button that spins the blades to make in hover, his custom firearm is a shot pistol, with the normal parts of the pistol I was able to add the chamber that is usually used for shotguns and placed it in the gun, can only fire two shots though but it's strong. Jasper uses a sledge hammer, I'm still working out the add-ons, but the blueprints are still in Hyrule. He was supposed to be able to charge up heat strong enough to create fire through a button that comes out from the sides every time it lands a hit on something, firearm of choice is a magnum. He's actually the only one in Hyrule with one, it was not easy making a pistol that strong and giving it a different design, his was one of the first firearms I worked on. Sydonna uses a scimitar another traditional Gerudo weapon, attached are electric batteries using ancient sheikah technology to give off electricity on the blade through a switch within the handle, her weapon of is a sawed off shotgun, custom made to shoot different rounds of ammo like electricity, fire and ice along with regular rounds. It's a lot to explain how it works, so I'll spare you any additional details.
Maemi: Wow, you're a really smart kid, how old are all you exactly.
Amane: 10.
Tindu: 12.
Sydonna: 15.
Mina: 18.
Jasper: 21.
Ayano: You guys are younger than I thought.
Sydonna: While I like to chat longer, we're on a mission and should get ready soon.
Maemi: Oh yeah, I won't be able to do anything until I find my cousins, they usually have all the additional parts needed. If you guys can go find them for me, that would be nice and I would make it worth your while.
Jasper: Well, looks like we have no choice with this. And it gives us a chance to get to know the region and it's rules.
Mina: Yeah you're right, well we should get started. Maemi where would your cousins reside when it's safe, maybe there's clues we could use.
Maemi: They have a shop just across the city, it's actually in the ruined area of the town. They do a lot of black market business there and no one bothers to enter that old town. But after what we did, their place has been kept on watch, so good luck trying to get close.
Tindu: Don't worry we have experience in sneaking around, let's get going.
We waved good bye to Maemi and headed to the old town with Erika as the lead. There goes getting a ride right away, I hope this allows us to abandon Ayano. I don't know why i'm so jealous, feelings are so complicated. Maybe if I think about mom, I hope she's doing fine. I hope they're all doing fine. But there's this strange feeling of something missing, I can't think of what it is though. I just feel this sense of dread.
(I hope this is okay, I ended up withdrawing from school because of some financial issues. So now I'll have more time to write and get over writer's block. Along with this story, I'm going to create a slide show of everything in an episodic format, so say like a comic where each shot is a page on its own instead of a normal comic with panels. I will upload it on my tumblr and create the video slide to go on youtube. So look out for that, once it's done I will create an update chapter leaving the link to my tumblr and my youtube of where it's gonna be, can't decide which channel to put it on so I'll link both. Have a blessed day my dudes, LOG out (wtf is up with that name?))
