"So the HKFB was filled with maraelz eh?" Said Oozak

"We were lucky to escape! Honestly sir... he had the child and said he was prepared to give it to Oozak!" Said Saria

"Alright... the tracking beacon should tell us where exactly the ship is heading so Shyann can hopefully last that long!" Said Oozak

"I get the feeling that there is a but... moment in this conversation" Said Link

"You felt correct... There is tracker beacons on every ship so they would be able to find where we are as well..." Said Oozak

"Great... At least we have the child!" Said Saria

"So we are still two friends away from paradi..." Said Link

"Link?" Asked Saria

Link said nothing

"Whats wrong?" Asked Saria

"Wait... you forgot the crystal heart didn't you?" Said Oozak concerned

Link still said nothing

"Link did you leave that on the ship?" Asked Saria

"Yes..." Said Link

"Well its with those traitors now! And we are going to need that before you head home right?" Asked Oozak

"Yes... The whole reason im here is to rescue my friends, Recover the crystal heart and recover Flurry heart!" Said Link

"Oozak we are approaching another facility! It contains a human female girl!" Said a strange figure walking towards the door

"That's Cherina!" Said Saria

"Now Saria... you are already trained right?" Asked Oozak

"Only to use a sidearm... Will that be enough?" Asked Saria

"Well it depends on the activity of the station... and that looks like it's negative so that whole room should be empty!" Said Oozak

"But why were there maraelz at my station?" Asked Saria

"Ill explain in a bit..." Said Link

"So... you think you two can do this?" Asked Oozak

"Yeah!" Said Saria and Link

"Okay... this next puzzle isn't with maraelz souls it's with a simulation rescue... Should be pretty straight forward" Said Oozak

"Alright cool! We will be back with Cherina!" Said Saria

"Just go careful the pair of you!" Said Oozak

"How do you think we are still here?" Said Link

Link and Saria boarded the facility Saria was armed with a side pistol and Link was armed with the ripper

"Ready?" Asked Link

"Hey as one of the six armed sages I need to be prepared for anything!" Said Saria

Link and Saria explored the whole entire facility and they eventually found a cyber chair connected to Cherina's pod

"I haven't seen one of these since..." Said Saria

"What is it?" Asked Link

"Sit in that chair and It will take you through to a tank shooter game... its really great fun and if this is the key to unlock Cherina that is going to be a piece of cake!" Said Saria excitingly

"Alright I guess ill get plugged in..." Said Link

Link sat in the chair and played the tank shooter game and shot the other tanks avoiding his tank

"Ah I don't see how this is fun... I mean where is the exploring?" Asked Link

"That's because your view is in a birds eye view ill change it... Could it be as simple as... 3D?" Asked Saria

"TAKE THE SPACE OUT!!!" Yelled Link

"Whoops sorry... my finger slipped!" Said Saria

The console went on a 20 second lockdown before being able to enter a new code

"Saria you are killing me here!" Said Link

"Don't worry the new code is in and your camera angle should be better now!" Said Saria happily

"And it is... ok so how long is the download process to free Cherina?" Asked Link

"55 minutes..." Said Saria

"55 MINUTES!!! May as well be the rest of my life!" Said Link disappointedly

"Look the connection is slow... take the routes on the firewall and it should be able to speed up faster without her going brain dead!" Said Saria

Link used his avatar to exit the tank and board a cyber bike and rode along the firewall to speed the process up

"How long now?" Asked Link

"1 minute!" Said Saria

"That's more like it! And that 5 minutes is worth it! This is awesome!" Said Link

Link eventually came to the end of the trial blazing and Cherina's pod slowly opened

"Cherina! Your going to be alright!" Said Saria unplugging Link from the chair

"Oh my dear... if only things were going to be that simple for you and the spacers!" Said Human Oozak making an appearance on a balcony

"You... You were the one that kidnapped us!" Said Cherina slowly regaining consciousness

Human Oozak began laughing

"Ah so your plan is spoil my test subjects eh? Well then I will be sure to leave you in the hands of my apprentice!" Said Human Oozak

The entire facility went on lockdown and artificial intelligence controlled the room

"Say hello to jessie!" Said Human Oozak

"LINK, SARIA! GET CHERINA AND RUN!" Called Oozak from a Radio

"Oh don't worry! They will all be coming with me!" Said Human Oozak answering the Radio

"Don't you have the maraelz to hunt? Leave my brother and his friends alone!" Said Oozak angrily

"Well I best be heading off! Jessie call in the auto turrets! The last place where the other lad is kept needs to be high on security! We cannot allow Oozak to achieve his objective!" Said Human Oozak tapping his wrist and teleporting away

"Target acquired!" Said the three auto turrets entering the room

"Quick use this for cover!" Said Link tipping an iron table and taking cover from the bullets alongside Saria and Cherina

"What do we do?" Asked Cherina
