Chapter 1: Old Man Niko

Welcome to the first official chapter of the story. Now before I start, Link isn't going to encounter Chancellor Cole in the story at all, neither is Niko. Ladies and Gentleman, here is the official first chapter of the story! (Thanks for the reviews Zeldafan and Lime Gap)

Slowly and ominously, the weather began a new onslaught of cold hearted rain. Thunder came crashing into the background nearly causing an earthquake. This powerful outburst of nature startled a short and wrinkly old man with big grey, thick eyebrows. He quickly woke up with a scream of utter panic, only to be entangled in his blanket and plummeted onto the hard ground, not-so gently. Immediately, the old man caught the pitiful and saddening sound of a baby's cry.

Crash

Another petrifying sound of thunder tortured the old man's ears, but this did not stop him from building up the courage to exit the comfort of his home, to see what the depressing sound of life outside in the furious dreaded rain was.

Slowly and carefully, the old man opened the door. Catching another saddening cry from the bush near his house, he peered behind it to see what the noise was. He froze. Looking down in awe, he eyed a small baby in front of him all alone. This baby had beautiful, golden honey coloured hair and big adorable blue eyes as blue as the great sea. Those eyes took him back to his old days of adventuring, speaking of which, the baby looked a bit... familiar.

Without wasting any more time, he swiftly brought the little baby inside of his warm, sweet cottage. The rain began to die down. Soon there was silence. Finally, the old man managed to restore his pleading sanity and spoke up.

"Gees little fella, you almost done give me a heart attack for a second. Any who, I'm Niko! *He began making strange embarrassing poses* One of the many former members of Tetra's pirates! And until we find your real parents, I'm going to take care of you swabbie you here... where did he go?" The little baby began to crawl on top of the cupboards, causing 'old mighty pirate' to go insane.

"Wha... no baby! Keep of the cupboards you might fall!" Dismayed and annoyed, Niko dove down to catch the ever so gypsy baby. He managed to catch his new friend and annoyance, while also landing face first onto the hard floor yet again. Niko placed the baby on the floor. "Please don't scare ol Niko like that again ok?" Unfortunately for Niko, the baby couldn't respond to his pleading request so the old man couldn't tell whether he got his message around to his new found buddy. "Now why don't you sit down and listen to a story?"

The baby stayed still. Niko pulled forth, a book from one of the messy piles on the floor.

"Ok, so I've been told that this one's a classic. The Hero of Winds found this book just before we found New Hyrule! But unfortunately, this book was given to us by... *shudders* Tingle. Not to mention said annoyance is the star of this here book. But ok here we go!" Mesmerized by the beautiful glowing green book, the baby froze.

Niko began reading "Tingle fairy's come to play, Tingle fairy's here hooray. Get your Tingle Tuners and bottles, to play the game and... earn a great big cuddle?" Niko angrily slammed the book shut.

"What kind of book is this?! Tingle can't rhyme to save his butt! Now I know why I haven't read this piece of rat scum in over 90 years. I could tell better stories than this junk, right kid? Kid?" Unbeknownst to Niko, the wandering menace began exploring through the enormous piles of Niko's junk. As soon as the poor old man spotted his moving target, the insanely innocent infant had encountered a cheese grater and a knife, and soon began bashing them together with a delightful giggle. Niko's eyes popped out of their sockets as he raced over to the careless infant and snatched the dangerous utensils. "Knives and cheese graters are not toys!" Niko exploded. However, he didn't realise that his menacingly annoying pal had crawled into more gigantic piles of treasure.

Does this kid ever stop moving?! The desperate elderly man dived in after him. He tried in vain to keep the child still but it was no use, the baby would just wonder of again to cause more chaos. Finally, Niko managed to catch up with him and scooped up the mischievous baby in his exhausted hands. "Boy you sure do like moving about don't you?".

Later, Niko had his new friend trapped in a crib and told him a new legendary tale about the Hero of Winds "... And that is how the Hero of Winds defeated the wretched Gerudo Ganondorf and joined our crew, the end. Happy Pirate Ending! Tomorrow I'll tell about the crazy time Link and Mako (mainly Mako) made a huge mess in the kitchen, aye fella?" Unbeknownst to Niko, the ocean blue eyed form of amazing adorableness had fallen into a lethargic sleep. "Hmm, you really do remind me of someone. I just can't wrap my finger around who it is, I think I'll call you... um... Link, until I find out your real name and find your parents". Quietly, Niko turned off the lights.

Smash

There was another silence. Shocked, Niko peered out the window to see what the commotion was.

There, his eyes locked onto the grim and cruel activity of 2 huge and in-comprehensively loud demons mashing up once proud beautiful trees into nothing more into worthless piles of wooden mass... and splinters. "OW! Help me buddy I have a splinter! A big painful splinter!" yelped one of the demons as a splinter made its way into the large, powerful thumbs causing, what appears to be dire pain to said cry baby.

"Oh suck it up you annoying loud mouth! We're monsters. Monsters are supposed to make people tremble with fear, not whine over a stupid splinter you worthless clown!" Niko continued watch the atrocious scene.

"Shut up you spring implanted meat sack! We 'Monsters' were meant to find that hero baby who Cole wants us to smash!" an electric shock of fear travelled up Niko's spine as he took in the notorious scene that taking place right before his eyes.

"Yeah no duh, buddy! Where is that infant anyway, we've killed everyone but that kid! Where is he so I could finally get some sleep?!"

"Well why don't we find out then?!" exploded the demon sarcastically.

"YES WHY DON'T WE?! Now do me a favour and SHUT UP!" Both the demons began burning each other with every clean insult known to mankind. Niko's eyes flared up. No one would harm his new friend. Quickly and swiftly for his age, Niko swiftly swiped his ancient sword from the shelf and backed up towards the crib in order to protect 'Link'. He hadn't used it or any other sword in years, but he had a reason to do so now. Eventually the fight between the 2 idiot 'monstrosities' was over.

"Hey, I think we should search that cottage over there!" politely, the demon knocked on the slightly unstable door.

"We don't have time for that numb skull just bash the door down!" boomed the angered demon and effortlessly punched the door down. Niko heart rose up to neck as the 2 intruders made away in the wooden cottage. "Hey you, do you know anything about a baby boy... huh?!" the demon was interrupted as Niko tried to lunge at the demons, but they just slammed the helpless old man against the rock hard wall. Dazed, Niko quickly picked up his sword and tried to slice at the monsters but they blocked every blow causing him to lose his balance. Angrily but desperately, Niko hopped of the ground with all the energy he had left and attempted to shove his sword into the demons chest. The demons didn't waste any time in swatting this old man out of the way and launched him into a cupboard. The demons then pinned him down to the ground.

"What do you want, demons?!" exclaimed Niko who tried to break out of the pressuring grasp.

"That, my elderly rival is none of your business!" replied the other demons. Then he turned his sharp attention to his Conrad. "Check in that little wooden crib over there!"

"Yes boss!"

"NO!" cried Niko. He continued to squirm and struggle to get off the floor as the demon held him to the ground. As the other demon approached the crib, Niko's heart sank to his feet at the sight of his new friend 'Link' about to be killed brutally right before his eyes. He barley even knew the baby but still it was heart shattering to see his poor chum about have his life ended at such and early youthful age. The other demon slowly approached the crib, only to find out it was... empty.

"Wait a minute, the kid's not in this crib!" the demon yelled in an utter mixture of anger, shock and irritation. Niko's eyes widened with great disbelief.

"Where is that kid you old coot? Tell us or we'll kill you, NOW!" Yelled the demon who was pinning Niko down to the stone cold ground. Much to his surprise, he caught a quick glimpse at Link wondering out the door. Niko then used his spare hand to reach his sword and plunged it directly into the heart of the demon pinning him down, leaving him deceased. Enraged, the remaining demon attempted to claw at him, but Niko had other plans. He waited until the demon was up close, and jabbed him in the head, the demon fell to the ground dead.

"I still got it!" Niko managed to cough out between heavy breaths of exhaustion. Swiftly he sprinted outside to his new friend Link and hugged him tightly with anticipation and relief."Thank the Spirits your'e alright Link. I don't know what I'd do if I let you get captured by those demons." Niko then remembered that he had to find Link's parents "Oh I almost forgot, I promised I'd take care of you till we find your mama and dada, got that Linky?" The child only blinked and began staring at the Tingle Tale book on the floor. Niko groaned, "You want me to finish the book don't you? Fine, but first I got to find a way to get rid of these dead bodies." Niko then turned to look at the dreaded bodies of the demons.

Yeah Niko! Fight those demons! Please tune in for the next chapter which would probably be a surprise for those who have played the game Spirit Tracks. And the way, there isn't enough Spirit Tracks fan fictions out there. The world needs more Spirit Tracks fan fictions. Anyway, bye guys.
