((Well.. finally decided to revive this thing... I hope there'll be some activity.. and maybe some new people.

As a sidenote to new people.. this is a Wind Waker parody. You don't really need knowledge of the game.. You just need to know that this story is set in a split alternate universe, several centuries in the future.

Next Generation SF and such.

Important - We've had enough people joining in by implying he/she was with us the entire time. I'm sure that Captain Tetra would've drawn the line to having that many people board her ship ; Just please try to come up with something else ))

Incase some of you missed out on the great intro.. *pulls out a record player, and puts in a record labeled "The Legendary Hero"*








A lot has happened since the beginning of the tale of the Zephyr Rouser. The celebration of children coming of age on Outset Island, where some children were obligated to wear the clothes of the heros of the past, even though some had birthdays in another month.

OoC Hikari : I'm blaming Grandma for that. And JD's mom, too. Yep yep.

The celebration was interupted by canonfire. A pirateship was chasing down something in the air. A while later, a girl with blonde hair was dropped into a nearby forest by what seemed to be an extinct beast.

OoC Hikari : "Holy cucco" indeed. *nod nod* Twas a blue, flying chicken. And I'll calls him "Cojiro".

Hikari, a small, round creature, with red hair and purple skin, went off to seek the girl. She was accompanied by her friends, Mint, Brer, JDavis, and others, as well as an old man that lives by the forest. The group discovered Bokoblins lurking inside of the forest, and quickly dispatched them, with the aid of Hikari's teddybear and the teddybear's hungry goat.

The blonde girl was found out to be a pirate captain by the name of Tetra. Everyone left the forest, only to see Hikari's sister, Marin, being whisked away by Tetra's kidnapper. Quickly afterwards, Jack, a Rito postal worker, told Tetra to give the islanders a ride to the bird's nest at Forsaken Fortress. Tetra tried to resist, but guilt of the kidnapping being her fault overcame her.

After Hikari received the Hero Bow, her family's hierloom, the islanders boarded the pirate ship. While everyone was getting used to their sea legs, old man Jargon was stirring up trouble with some troublesome sailors. Jargon proved to be an excellent fighter, unfortunately, no one really saw him in action.

Later, Tetra ordered Hikari and JDavis to go below deck to be toughened up. They met Niko, a swabbie that seems to be stuck cleaning underwear and scrubbing the deck for the rest of his pirate life. Niko attempted to show the two some swashbuckling, but Hikari didn't seem amused.

Meanwhile, a stowaway on the ship finally emerged out of barrel by the allure of a shiny dagger. The boy, Farid, heard voices nearby, and decided to check it out.


OoC Hikari : And the sad truth is that he seems more swashbuckling than all of the mounds of muscle on this ship has. *quick sigh*

Jargon was below deck, and was once again facing off with the same troublesome pirates. After giving them a good scare, Jargon decided to go back above deck. The angry sailors decided to pull a prank on the old man. They all rushed towards him and pushed him off board. One of the sailors tripped over the stowaway, and became slightly distracted.

A few moments later, the entire ship realized something. The old man was nowhere to be seen on the sea's surface. Tetra was quite infuriated, and the islanders' hopes seemed to have decreased. Farid was discovered, but he was left alone.

A man, who seemed to have pumped his ego into his multi-gallon hat, boarded the pirateship. The pirates found his attempts to arrest them to be funny. Unfortunately for the man, he was quickly tied up, and loaded onto a catapult.

The first mate, Gonzo, brought up an interesting topic. How would the islanders reach Forsaken Fortress without having the pirateship being shot down by the massive cannons? Being the cunning pirate captain that she is, Tetra decided to load up all of the islanders, as well as the stowaway, onto the catapult.


OoC Hikari : I wasn't really thrilled about that. *nod nod*

-----------

The catapult was launched before anymore objections were heard. The entire group soon found themselves kissing the fortress walls. All of their weaponry was knocked out of their grasps, thanks to the impact. Gravity finally set in, afterwards. Everyone fell into a moat in the fortress's innerwalls. It was safe to say that they were inside. Getting out would be a story left for another time.

Hikari: *spits out water as she breaks through the surface* Gah.. What a bunch of psycho pirates!

Hikari looked around her. The fortress was just huge, and seemed to be a mixture of high technology, and low technology. There were spotlights moving about in a pattern, making sure no one would try to break in or out. A spotlight was mounted on each corner of the castle. And on each corner, a tower was situated. One of the towers seemed like the perfect spot to be a jail, with the barred holes. On the north side of the Forsaken Fortress, loomed a great tower. Hikari assumed this was where the base of operations were.

Attached to the great tower was a nest. "That's were Marin should be..", thought Hikari.

The door the the large tower looming in the distance was locked up in standard Zelda-esque fare - a bunch of chains were covering the door, topped off with a large padlock with a giant keyhole at the center. But what really got everybody's attention was a girl with frizzy red hair, a loose-fitting white t-shirt, and short black shorts making random noises and chewing on the padlock, aparrently attempting to break it off.

JDavis crawls out onto a small bit of ground just barely above the water's surface and starts spitting.

JDavis: Blah I think I swallowed some of that nasty moat water. *looks at his own back* Aw, man, I dropped the bow... At least I still got this shield I made from that stupid armor. We should be able to smack people with it.

Parad clambered onto a rock outcropping just above the surface of the water, and now just stared sadly at the massive Dragon Ultra, its tip lodged in the stone wall a good 50 feet above him.

Parad: Shitkittens.

Jarukoth: "Damn, that killed!"

He gets up, and dust himself off. His dark blue clothes didn't need to get messed up before any fighting started. He then wipes off his bananna, labelled with the insignia of the village of his birth, and takes a brief look around...

Jarukoth: "Hmm...I think I lost my shuriken...oh well...

Jarukoth slowly swirls his hand around in the air, feeling it...

Jarukoth: "...Seems like there is just enough humidity to compensate. Good..."

While all the other catapultees landed sputtering and squirming in the drink below, Napoleone was sitting atop his enormous hat as it hugged shape to the waves. He fumbled his tiny hands around the millions of pockets that littered all about his blue, exquisite navy jacket, making completely sure that whatever he'd brought with him from his Ironclan ended up with him.

Sure enough, all the specially forged weapons and all the ergodynamic arrows he'd had been stolen from him by those dirty freaking pirates.


Napoleone shouted certain obsceneties that the simpole islanders just didn't understand.

"Well, zere's only un way t'go now! Don't be.. how you say.. Wussies!"

Napoleone moved the hatboat to dock into the small, moated wharf that was conviently located at the base of the castle, removed his hat from the water, and marched out onto the clearing... remembering that he didn't have any weapons.

As Ed continued to gnaw on the large padlock, the sharp eye of a camera mounted on the tower was watching her eveyr movement. A small hole opened right beside the large iron door, and an obscenely large cannon squeezed it's way through, pointing itself at Ed, while a large robotic gloved hand pulled out a match, struck it on the side of the tower, and lit the fuse.

Ed: Whaaaa?! o.o

A loud "Kabang!" later, Ed was flying backwards, attatched to the front of a large cannonball as it sailed into the lagoon, drenching everyone there in a rather large wave. As it cleared, Ed's feet could se seen above the water's surface, slowly sinking down as that one trumpet funeral song played.

Farid: I STILL don't understand how they crammed all of us into that little barrel! I mean, it's just..

Ed's splashdown made the boy pipedown for just a moment. Farid growled at Ed, and climbed onto the dock. He pries his wet clan braid off of his body, and begins drying off his clothes. A sudden realization hit him as he went through his clothes.

Farid: ... Where is it?! Where's my shiney dagger?!

Farid frantically looks around. Farid brushes past Napoleone, accidently knocking the man back into the drink. The long haired boy checked inside of some nearby barrels for his precious dagger.

((I dunno if a pony-tail type of thing for a guy is called a rat-tail.. Oh well ;; ))

Hikari sits on the side of the dock, and stares at JDavis and Ed. She was kind of unsure of what to say. She was also unsure of what gender Ed was.

Hikari: Hey.. um... Person... What were you doing up there?!

Farid stops checking around the barrels when he feels a vibration in his pocket. Hikari quickly looks in Farid's direction when the source of the vibration gives off a sound. Farid eventually pulls out a glowing object, which quickly attracts Hikari.

Hikari: It's so blue...

Object: Hey! Looks like you guys made it!

Hikari: ... That sounds like Tetra...

High in the sky near the Forsaken Fortress, a boy, about 15 in age, flys in towards the fortress with an odd object, a rubery looking sphere with two propellers spinning in a helicopter fashion, with a small handle for the boy to hang on to. The boy's name is Someguy, a young inventor of many things, including the odd contraption he is holding on to. The boy seems lost deep in thought, most likely about the fortress he is heading to...

Someguy: If my informers were correct, this should be the place. They said there were designs that surpass even my technology, which means I've got to get a look at it! My company has been known for being at the edge of technics, I can't let anyone else get a leading edge, I must know what these designs are!

Someguy gives the handle a small twist, causing the device to head faster towards his destination. What he didn't realize while filled with thoughts is that the destination was filled with cannons and search lights. Someguy flys into one of them, giving notice of his intrusion to the Bokoblin controling said search light.

Bokoblin 1: Eh? What the eck is this thing flying about?
Bokoblin 2: I dunno, looks like a birdie. Hows about we shoot it!
Bokoblin 1 and 2: AWSOME!

The two then aim a near by cannon directly at Someguy and just as quickly launch the preloaded cannonball. Someguy instinctively puts his helicopter like device's propellers infront of him to guard whatever made the noise. The cannon clashes with the object, knocking it out of his hands but avoiding Someguy from harm, due to the flexible morphable material being in a hard state at the moment. However, without the device to fly him in, Someguy falls down face first. This landing normally would of killed or at the least injured him, but he however landed on an odd purple object, seeming out of place in a rocky tough place like the Forsaken Fortress...

Bokoblin 1: Think we should check eff it's dead?
Bokoblin 2: No, I'm sure we got im!
Bokoblin 1 and 2: AWSOME!

At the landing site...

Someguy: Ugh.... next time I should ask my informers for information about the place I am going to... Good thing I fell on this odd squishy thing...

(OOC: Sorry to pull a Luigi on ya, Kirbynite, but I had to... well, I didn't have to, but still I couldn't resist!)

(Kirb: A rat-tail is not the same as a ponytail. A rat-tail is what you get if you cut most of the hair at the back of your head, except for one small patch, which will grow to a considerable length. It's kinda like a mullet, just thinner.)

...while Mint finally crawled onto the dock.

Mint: If it IS her, tell her I'm gonna kill her. If I make it through this alive. God, I didn't even ant to go along in the first place, I just kinda tagged along because I was bored. YOU was the one to risk your lif and get killed and stuff.

Hikari: What?! You're blaming me, now? Sheesh, som- eek!

Hikari was taken down by Someguy. Hikari wasn't too thrilled about being someone's falling mat. However, she was glad that Teddy was still on her head to break her fall.

Hikari: Would someone get this guy off of me?!

Teddy: I'd love to help you, but I'm having problems myself.

Farid: How did I get this in my pocket, anyway?

Tetra: ~Your weapons landed all the way up there? Shoot! I

As Jarukoth helps Someguy to his feet, he overhears what Farid says through the object...

Jarukoth: "One more reason to get the girl, and get the hell out.

I HOPE we'll be able to get some time to go potty along the way. Maybe security won't be as tight as it looks..."

((Adamant, a rattail isn't a mullet - it's a tiny ponytail that, rather than being grown from the top of the person's head and hanging down in an arc, it's grown from where the hairline meets the back of the neck. My friend used to have one))

((I see that Nakase was finally able to fix it properly ))

Teddy: *tries to fluff himself up* Almost squeezed the stuffing out of me..

Tetra: ~Eek!~

The Pirate's Gem was knocked out of Farid's grasp, and began bouncing off the watersoaked dock. Hikari, still fixed on the alluring glow, ran towards the item. She dove towards it, sliding across the platform. She caught it in time, but fell into the water.

A few moments later, both Teddy and Hikari emerged from the water.


Hikari: Hey! Knock it off! Did you see the size of that canon? Do you want them to spot us and have that thing get fired on us?

Teddy was still clinging onto Hikari as the purple girl climbed back onto the platform. Hikari's plushie started to wring himself dry, and decided to have his say.

Teddy: Kari, are you defending that guy?

Hikari: Huh? Who? *points at Farid* Him? Erm.. I was just pointing out that we're making an awful lot of noise over here, and the gem was almost knocked over. If Tetra can see us, then that means she can help us.

Tetra: ~... eh? Look, I've got pirating to do.~

Hikari: *looks at the gem* And this gem belongs to you. And you want it back. Right?

Tetra: ~....~

Hikari: Ok, then. I'm going to go ahead and try to find a way inside. I don't care what you guys are going to do out here, but just don't get in my way. *looks at JDavis* And you'd better tag along. I'm sure you're gonna want to look for that family bow I lent you.

Hikari turned to face the nearby stairway. Teddy was still clinging onto the girl as wet hair flailed around. The drops flinging off of Hikari's hair shouldn't have bothered most since everyone was still wet.
