Legend of Zelda Wind Waker (A slightly distorted tale)

CHAPTER 10:~~~Across the World in 80 seconds~~~

     Link woke up in a small prison cell, about 7 x 12 square feet in perimeter. (Keep in mind this is Link's math, so it's probably not correct) there was an empty cupboard and a table with three stools, but that was about it. There was 15 thick wooden bars, and a door at the corner. Link went over and tried the door but, as expected, it was locked. 

*BBBZZZTTTT* "Woah, you gotta be more careful than that! This jail cell looks pretty old and run down." Tetra said sarcastically. Suddenly, another voice came out of the stone, "Oh! Link, there should be a rathole somewhere in that room!" It was Niko. 

   "OY! Who said you could talk!?!" Tetra said, irritated. It was silent for a few moments and then, "Niko said that he was trapped in that room your in when he was kidnapped by the old pirate gang that used to use the Forsaken Fortress as their headquarters. He says that there should be a hole about your size that he escaped from somewhere. Try to find it, if its not there, you're on your own." The stone faded out and grew silent. 

     Link looked around, there was a barrel on one side of the room, and a pot on the cupboard. Link lifted up the barrel, but there was nothing underneath it. Sadly, Link was too short to reach the pot on the cupboard, so he had to jump off the table to reach it. Link kicked the pot down and sure enough, there was a Link sized hole in the wall. He got on his belly and crawled into the hole, turning right twice, and fell to the hard rock floor with a thud. 

   "OOF! That hurt."Link slowly got to his feet. A door led him back into the familiar room with a hanging candle. He jumped out and grabbed the rope, swinging on it, Link let go and landed safely on the other side. Outside Link could make out the sun rising in the east. 

'I need to hurry before it becomes light out!' Link took off into a run and saw a ladder leading to the third and final searchlight. Link ran up to the ladder and climbed up.  

'Ill try Tetra's plan this time.' Link ran up to the bokoblin and got its attention. Two times the monster attacked Link and twice the Deku stick bounced off. The third time, it's weapon flew out of it's hand and Link dashed over to it and attacked the bokoblin. Once the enemy vanished, Link felt the buzz of the Pirate's Stone. 

   "Hey Link, all of the spotlights are pointing at the sky, you're free to go to your sister." 

     Link climbed down the ladder and continued on his way. The next room was at the second floor, and two giant bokoblins patrolled the room. Link once again hid inside a barrel and slowly walked towards the giant door that would lead to his sister.  

     Link got to the door without much incident and saw that he was at a drop off in the road. A small ledge was on the wall that he could possibly use to sidle upon, but underneath him was a straight fall onto rock. Link took a breath and pushed his back against the wall trying to find a place to grab with his fingers. Halfway across Link slipped and fell of the edge! He frantically grabbed the edge with his fingers and dug his nails into the cracks in the stone. Carefully he lifted himself up, and reached across the remainder of the gap to pull himself up on the other side. 

   "Gaaaspphh!!" Link breathed in the cold morning air, trying to calm his beating heart. 

     Dawn was approaching, and Link was almost to his sister. He ran on, going up some steps and coming to an open space, another giant bokoblin patrolled the area. Luckily, there was one more barrel for Link to hide inside. Link stayed at the wall, only moving when the guard was more than five feet away. Finally he could see the window where seagulls flocked and his journey was almost to an end. Link ran up more steps and turning a corner was a giant door in another open space area. A fierce green bokoblin with a machete and Sheila guarded the door. 

'Great, I doubt the shield trick will work against that! How do I get past him?!?' And then Link saw something that brought joy into his heart and hope in his mind. 

HIS SWORD LAY ONLY METERS AWAY FROM WHERE HE WAS STANDING!!! 

     Link dashed over to it and suddenly heard the sound of metal scratching against stone. He was trapped! Metal spikes had popped out of the ground, blocking his escape. To make it worsen the bokoblin standing guard came to attention and charged at Link, swinging it's machete at him! Link grabbed his sword and held it aloft, quickly seeing if any damage had came to it. Link turned around just in time to see the bokoblin attack, and he swung the precious sword Orca gave him with a triumphant yell as a voice came into his mind. 

YOU GOT YOUR SWORD BACK!!! BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE IT IN THE FUTURE!!!

     Link returned his attention to the monster laying on the ground. It jumped back up and attacked once more. Link deflected the attack with his shield and jabbed at the monster's throat. The monster was now critically wounded, black blood pouring out of it's neck and chest. But still it attacked catching Link off guard and slicing his arm. Link gave a yelp of pain, but managed to stab the monster in the gut before flopping on the floor. It screamed, and blew into the familiar smoke. He had almost saved his sister. Getting up off of the ground, Link drew his sword from the monster and wiped the blood on the bokoblin's vest.  

     Link went to the giant wooden door and pushed it open with a creak. 

     The light inside blinded him, and he saw hundreds of candles on the walls, covering the room in bathing light. And then he heard a voice. 

   "Big Brother!!! Over here!!!" It was the happiest moment of his entire life. In the corner of he room, a big wooded cell imprisoned Aryll, along with four other girls with pointed ears. 

   "Aryll! Let's get you out of there!" Link headed over to the cell and all of the other girls ran to the door, crying with happiness that their savior had arrived. 

   "I told you guys he would come!" Aryll said happily. But then her tone changed,  

   "Big Brother! Look out!!!!" The girls all gasped and Link drew his sword and Sheild, ready to fight. But when he saw the danger, he knew he stood no chance. The giant crowned bird that had kidnapped his sister flew down from a hole in the ceiling. It landed, cocked it's head at Link, and then kicked him against the wall with it's talons. Link flew back, and cold feel himself being lifted off the ground. He heard the screams of his sister and the wails of the girls that thought their rescue had finally come. The bird had him in it's beak and carried him to the top of the fortress. Somehow a ship was perked on the top of it and the bird flew to the backside of it, where Link knew the deck of a ship should be.  

      The ship was ripped in half, and the bird was flying right in front of where the deck SHOULD have been if it was still intact. It was hard to describe, but a door leading to the deck was opened, and a figure came into Link's view. 

     Link later decided that this figure was a man, however in his eyes, blurry with pain, he could not tell if it was a large man, or another giant bokoblin. Whatever it was, it's shoulders were wide and it was very tall, at least twice Link's height. It was dressed in a fine robe with symbols and pictures unknown to Link stitched on the cloth.  

     The figure's head nodded to the side and the bird drew it's head back and suddenly jerked to the side and released Link from it's menacing beak. 

     All Link could see was the Fortress getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller until the force of his speed caused him to black out.  

     Link was gone. 

       Gone from the Great Sea 

          Gone from any civilizations 

               A place where there was only sea...

And then.........a boat...................................................................................................................
