-The Legend of Zelda: Island of Dreams-
As if having his entire troop killed wasn't bad enough, the Royal Airship was now falling towards Pi'illo Island below. With the sounds of the three royals bickering and Zelda screaming, Link shut his eyes as the ship hit the water.
And that is the end of the story.
Girl: Wait, what? No it's not!
And how do you know it's not?
Boy: Because we've read this story before! You read it to us!
Fine, I'll continue. Ahem...
Link slowly regained conciousness after the massive crash. He seemed to be uninjured, but looking towards his left, he saw that the airship definitely wasn't. The proplellers were twisted, the riggings were messed up, and the hull was split in two. Honestly, it really didn't look like a royal anything by this point. Oddly enough, there were two more airships right next to it. He got up and saw that there were even more airships around him- through some amazing stroke of luck, the airship had crashed in Pi'illo Island's Western Airport. He looked behind him and saw the rest of the remaining crew, as well as Zelda, Harkinian and the royals talking.
Aganhim: "I cannot believe this! It's all your fault, Harkinian!"
Harkinian: "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?"
Aganhim: "I never got my drink! You stupid dinner boy and your nerdy offspring set off a chain of events that crashed the ship!"
Ghirahim: "Aganhim, I like you, but... how does that make any kind of sense?"
Harkinian: "Do you WANT to clean all the floors in Hyrule?"
Zelda: "Dad, we aren't in Hyrule. We landed on Pi'illo Island."
Link: "Hey guys!"
Vaati: "Link survived, guys! You two owe me twenty Rupees!"
Ghirahim: "Oh, fine, take it, you little weasel."
Just then, they heard a fanfare-like noise playing a little ways from them. Walking forward, they eventually found a massive crowd surrounding a short man with a tiny pencil mustache and a green bodysuit, who was standing on a large speaker-like machine and talking to everyone.
Man: "Calm down, everyone! I'm certain that the crew of the destroyed airship is doing just fine. Now, who wants more cookies?"
Everyone in the crowd backed away when he said that.
Harkinian: "Hello, jolly green man! We are the rulers of the Hyrulean Allience, and we were the members of the airship that crashed here in the airport! There is no cause for alarm! We're alright!"
Man: "Well, in that case, shoo, crowd! I must tend to the royalty!"
And with that, the crowd of various people scattered, and the man in green walked up to the group.
Man: "Hello, your highnesses. And you, too, fairy boy."
Link: "Wait, are you talking to me? I've never even seen a fairy before."
Man: "Oh, you will, fairy boy. I am Tingle, and I am the co-owner of Pi'illo Island. I mainly do upkeep and various duties."
Zelda: "Co-owner? You mean someone else owns the island too?"
Tingle: "Er... sort of. You see, the island is actually rulerless, seeing as how there are no real royalty, so me and a colleague run the island. However, my good friend Dr. Shad Snoozemore, the other co-owner, is off on a buisness trip in the Kakariko Archepeligo, so for now it's just me."
Aganhim: "'Scuze me, Tiny Ting, but we were wondering if we could get to the meeting we have to hold in Pi'illo Castle. So, if you don't mind, we need to get there PRONTO! With drinks, preferably."
Tingle: "Well, there are no drinks..."
Aganhim: "Dang it!"
Tingle: "But Pi'illo Castle is just up ahead. Let me take you there! Oh, and also, take these complimentary maps of the island!"
You got the Pi'illo Island Map! This map contains the fully charted regions of Pi'illo Castle, Driftwood Shore, Wakeport, the Sunrising Tree, Dozone Sands, Mount Pajamaja, Matressa Tundra, Koma Jungle, Hiberspace Tower, Settingsun Village, Drowsinium Sleep Center and Chamomill Lake!
The group set off towards the massive castle in the distance. They were almost there when a rustling in the bushes freaked Tingle out.
Link: "What's wrong, Tingle?"
Tingle: "There are monsters in those bushes! Sorry, fairy boy, but we've got to stay here until they go away!"
Unfortunately, the monsters had no intention of going away. They lept out of the bushes, revealing themselves. They looked like the Bokoblins Link was familiar with back in Hyrule, but had no facial features other than large white eyes. Their bodies were made of a crumbling brown stone. Zelda pulled out her Pi'illopedia, having seen them before.
Zelda: "Okay, these creatures are Boroblins, an evolutionary offshoot of the Bokoblin. Boroblins attack anything that startles them, and will not back down until it dies."
Link: "But they startled us!"
Zelda: "Boroblins have not gained enough sentience to wield weaponry, but can hurl parts of their body like cannonballs. They have very low durability, though, so they should be a piece of cake to beat."
Link drew his sword, eager to show off his skills. "I'll take that as a good sign!"
Sure enough, the Boroblins were no match for Link, never even getting to attack him. Zelda looked mad that Harkinian didn't let her fight, but the Boroblins dropped other things than P-Bags- small, green gems that Link knew were the Hyrulean currency, Rupees. With the monsters dead, they quickly made it to Pi'illo Castle. The massive structure had nearly ten times the size of Hyrule Castle, and had people of all different races- Hylians, Gorons, Zoras, even a few Link didn't recognize- wandering about. Tingle escorted the adults to the meeting room, while Zelda and Link went to the castle's shop to check some stuff out. They found a person selling clothes and armor, another selling potions, and a third person selling an assortment of small ceramic items he called badges, which he was out of. They tried to check out the cafeteria, when Tingle began running up to them, wildly waving his arms.
Tingle: "Princess! Fairy boy! Come quick!"
Zelda: "What is it, Tingle?"
Tingle "Your father, Kng Harkinian... sort of got sent on a rocket-powered ride into the unexplored portions of the castle."
Link: "Wait, WHAT?!"
They quickly ran into the meeting room, which appeared to be missing a table. Massive burn marks covered the floor, and Advisor Magis was thrown against the wall with ash on his face.
Tingle: "Advisor Ganondorf kinda... accidentaly elbowed the hidden lever that turend on the rocket platform into the unexplored castle basement."
Ganondorf: (shrug)
Link: "We need to save him! Knowing him, he's probably in trouble."
Tingle snuck something into Zelda's pocket as the rocket platform activated, blasting them off into the castle basement at the speed of sound. They finally reached the end of the tunnel, and Link flew directly into the wall. Zelda pulled the stunned Link off of the wall.
The two had arrived in a massive underground citadel of sorts. There were massive statues in small alcoves on the walls, which looked like they would fall out any second. Link caught a faint smell of burning embers- and a much more overpowering scent that smelled like a combination of spoiled Lon Lon Milk and rotting meat. And off in the distance, the two could hear a faint sound that seemed to be small drops of water. Unfortunately, there was no sign of King Harkinian anywhere.
Zelda: "What happened to daddy?"
?: "Oh, geez, another one?"
Zelda: "Link, what are you saying?"
Link:"Ugh... I didn't say anything..."
The two slowly turned around and saw what was behind them.
==TINGLE!
And that's all my notes. Please review!
