(ZGen/Act)Wind Waker: Four Swords Editon!(T)

[Midori-Rinku]

Hello there everyone! This is my first chapter of Wind Waker: Four Swords edition! It’s kinda hard to explain what the story is about because it’s a crossover but not an OMG I’ve travelled through time/space whatever story. It’ll make sense when you read it.

Blue and Green’s (and eventually Red and Vio’s) personality are based on the Four Swords + manga (mainly because they are descendants of them) but you don’t have to read the manga or play the game to read this story. Though it might help I guess.

Just two things to know about it: Purple Link's name is Vio and in the manga Shadow Link becomes good in the end.

Now read!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You all probably know the story of the Hero of Time and how he defeated an evil man and saved the lost kingdom but you most likely don’t know of another story: the hero of the Four Sword.

Before the kingdom disappeared is was attacked again this time by a different evil; a Sage and a shadow and threw the land into chaos. But then a boy appeared wielding a sword that turned him into four separate people. The Four, and eventually the Shadow defeated the Sage and stopped the evil he tried to unleash.

When the Four came to put the sword to rest it was supposed make them one again but it didn’t. Was it a blessing or a curse?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Big Brother!” a voice cried out from a small island. It came from Aryll, a small girl of the age of ten. She had blonde hair tied up into two piggy tails and wore a dress that had flowers printed on it.

Aryll was on a mission; this mission was to find her Big Brother for their Grandma. She brought her prized telescope to her and looked around with it.

“Big Brother!” she called out again. After a while she pointed the telescope to a look out tower. Aryll grinned brightly and ran over to the other side of the island and climbed up the tower.

On top of it was a boy sleeping. His messy blonde hair was the same colour as Aryll’s. He wore a blue and white shirt and orange pants.

“Big Brother! Blue!”

Blue blearily opened his eyes at the sound of his sister’s voice and looked around. Finding no one, he set his head back down. Aryll frowned and poked the side of his head.

“Blue, wake up!” she whined poking him again.

Blue opened his eyes and glared at his sister, “Why should I?” he grumbled.

Aryll grinned cheekily, “You obviously don’t remember what day this is,” Blue merely raised an eyebrow at her, “It’s your birthday!”

That got a reaction.

“What?” exclaimed Blue, jumping up in surprise.

Aryll nodded grinning, “Uh-huh. Grandma sent me to find you. She wants you to come back home. She probably wants to give a present to you. Now go and get it!”

“Yeah, yeah I’m going,” Blue said then muttered under his breath, “Miss bossy boots”

“I heard that!” Aryll said as Blue climbed down the ladder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on an island called Headstone (which coincidently had a giant stone of the shape of a head), there was a pirate ship parked nearby it. On the island were four people. They were all surrounding the stone that appeared to be blocking an entrance to a cave.

The first three were arguing while the fourth one gazed around the island looking bored.

“I say that we just blow it up,” declared a young girl with greenish blonde hair. She was glaring sternly at a burly man.

“But Miss Tetra, people would notice if a giant rock like this just disappeared,” protested the burly man.

Tetra raised an eyebrow and looked around, “Who Gonzo?” she asked, “The closet people around are miles away. Besides I don’t think they're going to care.”

The third person adjusted his glasses as he looked up at Gonzo, “She’s right you know, “he said, “What is with you today Gonzo? Usually you don’t care.”

Gonzo shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know Mako. It’s just I'm getting a bad feeling about this place, yeah? Like we shouldn’t touch it.”

The man with the glasses snorted in amusement, “What could possibly go bad? On a place like this?”

As though someone or something wanted it to prove him wrong a loud screech echoed around the place.

“That,” said the last person. He was a boy around the same age of nine with the same hair colour as Tetra. He was pointing at something in the sky.

There was a lone small bird in the sky at least it looked like a small bird.

"If it was that high up shouldn't the bird be smaller then?" asked Mako,"Unless... It was a gigantic bird."

The bird let out another loud screech and swooped down at the four pirates.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aryll sat in the lookout playing around with her telescope with a flock of seagulls surrounding her, waiting for Blue to come back.

She wondered what present their Grandma was going to give him. Grandma had been secretive about it the whole time but, Aryll saw her with blue fabric. She had probably made another blue shirt or something.

The only problem was that where Grandma had got it. Now that Aryll thought about it she was missing a dark blue dress.

“Hey,” came Blue’s voice came from behind her.

“Hey Blue,” replied Aryll turning to look at Blue. She stopped and stared at him for a few moments before continuing, “Why are you wearing a dress?”

Blue’s face turned a bright red as he glared at her, “It’s a tunic Aryll,” he said gritting his teeth, “That’s what they wore in the olden days.”

“So that’s where my blue dress went,” muttered Aryll scratching her chin absently, completely ignoring Blue, “You could have told me you wanted to wear a dress Blue.”

‘So that’s where Grandma got that fabric. I am wearing a dress,’ Blue thought groaning inwardly. Outside he grumbled, “Did you even listen to me?”

Aryll grinned innocently and changed the subject, “Anyway it’s time for me to give you a present! Close your eyes and hold your hands out.”

When Blue reluctantly did so, Aryll picked up her telescope from the floor and placed it into his hands. Then Blue opened his eyes and looked down at the present.

“A telescope,” he stated dully.

“Yes,” nodded Aryll enthusiastically, “You can borrow it for today and today only. Go and have a look into it.”

Blue rolled his eyes but, decided to humour her. He placed the telescope to his eye and looked through it.”

“Look down there!” Aryll ordered, pointing down out of the look out, “At the post-box.”

Her brother did so zooming in on the object of question. Standing next to it was a tall man with hawk-like eyes and a beak for a nose. He was putting paper into the letterbox.

“Do you see the postman?” asked Aryll eagerly. When Blue nodded she grinned brightly, “Isn’t he cool? He’s a-"

“A Rito, as bird person I know. We talk to him about every single day,” interrupted Blue still looking through the telescope. The postman was now looking up in fright, “I wonder what he is so frightened about.”

They both looked around for a couple of moments until Aryll pointed up, “Up there!” she cried out. Blue did so and gasped in surprise. Above them was a large brightly coloured bird flying above them with a figure in its claw.

Suddenly a cannonball appeared out of nowhere narrowly missing the bird. It came from a pirate ship that kept on firing cannonballs at it and missing. There was a pause and the bird turned its head to look at the ship.

That was a mistake.

A cannonball suddenly shot out from the ship and hit the bird right in the face. The bird screeched in pain and dropped the figure right into the forest.

Both brother and sister just stood there for a couple of moments until Aryll snapped out of it. She turned to Blue and looked at him with big puppy eyes.

“You have to go and help that person Blue!” she said, “There are monsters in that forest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over in the pirate ship people were arguing again. This time with Gonzo (again) and another burly man, Senza.

The young boy from before shook his head and turned to Mako, “How long do you think there going to argue for?” he asked groaning, clearly annoyed.

The other pirate frowned looking equally annoyed, “Probably an hour at least. Two hours at most...Hopefully.”

Mako stood there standing at the bickering duo, when he heard a slight clattering noise. He turned to the boy who had taken off his boots and was taking his jacket off.

“…Green,” Mako said trying to look stern, “Whatever you’re thinking to do your not going to do it.”

Green looked up and smirked, “And you’re going to stop me how?”

They both stared at each other, Mako still looking stern, Green grinning until the bespectacled man sighed.

“…Fine,” said Mako turning around, “But if Miss Tetra, asks I didn’t see you.”

There was no reply. Instead there was a splash. No one else noticed a blonde haired boy swimming towards the island.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About half an hour after that event, Blue walked out of one of the houses holding a sword. He had got it from a man named Orca who was the resident swordsman. Blue had asked for a sword, which Orca had given him, but not without learning some tips.

Tips that took at least half an hour to learn.

“Stupid Orca,” Blue grumbled as he walked to where the forest was. The forest was on top of the island and fairly easy to get to but because no one went up as monsters lived there. It became overgrown and hard to get to. A sword would make it easier to get through.

Blue looked up from his sword as he came to the path up to the forest and stopped for a second in surprise. There were two people there, one was Aryll and the other was a kid he had never seen before. Which was weird because he knew everyone on the island. What made it stranger was the fact that the boy had no shoes on and his clothes were slightly damp.

“Big Brother! What took you so long?” complained Aryll when Blue joined him

Blue ignored her instead he turned to the boy, “Who the hell are you?” he asked, not even bothering to be polite.

“I’m Green. I’m from that pirate ship over there,” Green replied while Aryll glared at her brother for being rude, “I got fed up of waiting for Gonzo and Senza (two of the pirates) to stop fighting so I swam over here so I could help my sister, Tetra. I was going to go myself but Aryll made me wait for you.”

Blue just looked at Green blankly for a couple of moments.

“You swam from that pirate ship,” he repeated slowly pointing at the ship in the distance, “To help your sister, Tetra, just because two people were fighting?”

Green nodded, “Yeah,” he paused and glared mockingly at Blue, “You make it sound like it’s bad. I swam here because they were going to take forever to stop arguing. Mako said they would be arguing for about an hour and that’s at least!”

“Whatever,” Blue said shrugging. Turning around, he drew his sword and slashed at the trees blocking the way and walked up the path. He paused and turned around when he realised that Green was following, “You're not coming.”

Green blinked in surprise, “Why not?”

“The same reason why Aryll is not going. You're both too young and you’ll both get in the way,” he glared at both of them just to make sure and walked up the hill.

The journey up the hill was… uneventful to say the least. Just a few bushes here and there and a lot of overgrown grass. When he got to the bridge however…

“Wow that bridge is really rickety,” came Green’s voice from behind Blue.

Blue screeched in surprise and almost fell off the bridge. He turned around to see Green starring at the bridge frowning.

“I bet sooner or later the bridge is going to break,” the boy in green concluded nodding to himself.

“What the hell are you doing up here!?” Blue yelled pointing at Green accusingly.

“Saving my sister of course,” replied Green grinning. He looked at Blue oddly, “What did you expect me to actually listen to you?”

“Yes as a matter of fact I did,” said Blue crossing his arms and glaring at Green… again. The person in question completely ignored the fact that he was getting death glared at as though he was used to it. Blue sighed, “You not going to listen to me, are you?”

Green shook his head, grinning.

“Fine, you can come,” said Blue relenting, “But only if you stay out of the way.”

Green cheered happily and ran across the bridge, causing it to shake, and towards the entrance of the forest.

Blue yelped and gripped onto the railing of the bridge, “And don’t rock the bridge!” he shouted after the boy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Well this is fairly uneventful,” Green sighed looking bored.

“Uneventful! We were attacked by monsters!” yelled Blue. He obviously wanted to yell some more but he was out of breath.

When they entered the forest the two of them instantly saw Tetra who was unconscious and stuck up a tree. But they couldn’t reach her from where they were. So the two of them went right into another part of the forest… and were attacked by a monster.

Blue attacked straight away while Green, who had no weapons at all, just stood there and watched his friend deal with it. Eventually Blue defeated it, but was slightly out of breath.

They went into the next area and were attacked again. This time Green did something; he picked up a broken wooden sign and hit it; over the head while Blue distracted it.

Green shrugged, inspecting the sign he had picked up, “That’s because you’ve never seen monsters before. Those are the weakest type. Did you know that you apparently have a fairy's spring in this forest?”

Blue blinked, completely thrown off by the question, “What?”

“This sign says you do, that’s all,” Green said showing the sign to Blue, “Well anyway lets go. The next area is where Tetra is right?”

Blue nodded, “Yes it is. Be prepared though, there are probably more monsters there.”

They both climbed up to the next part ready to fight (Green was using the sign as a weapon), but when they found none they instantly relaxed. But of course the peace wasn’t going to be there for long.

Somewhere above them a bird screeched. Green jumped thinking it was the large bird before but instead there were two smaller sized ones carrying two monsters that looked like the ones that attacked before.

The birds dropped the monsters and the fight begun. Blue instantly ran up to the first one striking, it before it had the chance to defend itself. After a couple more strikes the monster died, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Green on the other hand just waited for the monster to attack. When it did he sidestepped it and attacked from behind striking it over the head. After that the monster turned and tried to punch the boy. It never did because Blue came out of nowhere and killed it.

“The weakest kind, huh?” said Blue smugly, “It looked like you were going to lose.

Green pouted, “I would have one if I had a weapon. Alright?”

“Urggh,” Tetra groaned from above them. She seemed to be awakened by the noise of the fight. She blinked a couple of time trying to wake up. When she realised where she was Tetra started struggling- and broke the branch falling to the ground. She groaned again.

“Ouch,” muttered Green, and Blue winced in agreement. Tetra looked up sharply when she heard her brother’s voice.

“Green what are you doing here?” she asked in surprise then noticing that Green wasn’t wearing any shoes, “and where are your shoes?”

“I’m saving you of course,” said Green as though it was obvious, “and my shoes are back on the ship.”

“He took them off to swim over here,” said Blue, answering Tetra’s unanswered question.

Tetra jumped, turned and looked at Blue scanned him from the boots up, “What’s with the get up?”

Blue never got to answer because a person yelled from the entrance. A burly man who he figured might be Senza or Gonzo.

“Miss Tetra!” the man cried in relief running towards them and got up to where they were with ease, “and… Green! What are you doing here?”

“Never mind that,” said Tetra interrupting Green before he even started, “What happened after I was captured by that bird?"

Gonzo quickly recounted about what happened to a bemused Tetra.

“So I was dropped on top of a mountain top?” she asked rhetorically, “Well lets teach that bird some manners!”

“But what about Blue?” Green asked, pointing to Blue.

“Who cares? Let’s go,” Tetra ordered, impatiently running out of the forest with Green and Gonzo following obediently while Blue walked at more leisurely pace, grumbling something about pirates.

He rejoined the pirates outside the forest where they stood looking around, Blue barely acknowledged them because he noticed something more interesting, his sister.

“Hoy there Big Brother!” Aryll yelled from the other side of the bridge. Blue bit back the urge to scold her for coming up there and waved back. It was then when everything went wrong for Blue.

A loud screech was heard for the third time on this island and of course came the bird soon after it. The pirates cursed and prepared to defend themselves but it wasn’t going for them. Instead it swooped straight at Aryll, catching her in its claws. After that it flew off to the north.

Blue cried in rage and tried to run after the bird instead falling right off the cliffside. He was about to fall to his doom when Tetra grabbed a hold of him. Blue struggled, still trying to chase it.

“Stop struggling!” snapped Tetra, her hold on him almost slipping. Then she added softly, “I’m sorry there is nothing you can do.”

Blue could only watch as the shadow of the bird disappeared. It gave another screech as though it was mocking him.
----------------------------------------------------

Mwhahaha I managed to fit the whole chapter here! I thought I wouldn't :XD. Then again it looks much smaller then on Microsoft Word.

I know that this is too much like the original Wind Waker I've been told that quite a bit and I agree but I can't really change the first part much without ruining the story later on.

Anyway tell me what you think (if it's good, crap or whatever). And if I have any spelling mistakes tell me too.

[Midori-Rinku]

Oh. No replies. And judging by the views barely anyone read this as well. I suppose that means this story sounds dull or crap or both

Anyhow I have chapter two here. No use keeping it in the hard-drive even if no one wants to read it.

Enjoy I guess.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Wind Waker: Four Swords Edition! Chapter 2.

Tetra was not having a good day or even a good week for that matter. If it weren’t for a certain someone she and her pirate crew would be looking for treasure in the wide ocean. Not going to a fortress so that someone could rescue their little sister from an evil fortress.

Tetra glared at the person in question- Blue- who glared fiercely back. They both stood there for a few minutes until Green came over asked: “What the heck are you two doing?”

The Pirate captain decided to ignore him and seemed like Blue did as well because there was no answer from the boy in green. So Green just stood there looking at both of them confused.

In fact it wasn’t really Blue’s fault now that Tetra thought about it, it was that stupid bird that kidnapped her they wouldn’t have even met. Then there was that Rito Postman, Quill or whatever his name was who said that it was Tetra’s fault because the bird mistook Blue’s little sister for her, kidnapped the girl and taken Aryll to it’s lair: the Forsaken Fortress.

Though it technically was Tetra fault that Aryll was kidnapped the bird would have tried to get her because it was after any girl with long ears as the postman said. Which both of the girls had.

For that reason Tetra now hated birds or anything birdlike for that matter.

So why was she helping Blue? Because Tetra still ended feeling guilty even after all the reasoning that she did in her head. But it didn’t help her bad mood, instead it just made it worse.

“Uh…” Green started to say when Blue suddenly shouted.

“Why do I have go below deck?” he was yelling at the Pirate Captain.

“Because you will just get in the way!” Tetra snapped jabbing her finger at Blue’s chest, “And you are being childish! Go and report to Niko!”

“Why? I already did that test and won a prize!”

Tetra stopped and looked at Blue, confused,“…What treasure?”

Green suddenly laughed nervously causing them to look him, “N- nothing,” he said nervously grabbing Blue’s arm, “He’s just joking. Yes…just joking,” with that he started to drag Blue (much to his protest) to the door to below deck.

Tetra sighed rubbing her head, she could feet a headache coming on. Today was going to be a long day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green quickly pushed Blue inside the door to the lower part of the ship and walked in behind in. After that he shut the door and turned to Blue who was yet again glaring, this time at Green.

“What’s the big idea?” Blue asked grouchily crossing his arms.

“You are aware that Tetra didn’t know you one that so called prize,” replied Green raising an eyebrow, “She knows that you are playing games but not for treasure.”

Blue blinked, surprised, “But I thought that it…”

“It was a prize?” interrupted Green, “Well it isn’t actually just some treasure. Niko added the treasure in for motivation he didn’t actually expected you to finish the ‘test’ so easily.”

“Yeah I’ve been meaning to ask. Did it really take Niko a year to get to the other side of the test?” Blue asked looking curious.

The test was swinging on ropes to get onto platforms and eventually to the other side of the rooms. But the platforms would lower to the ground if you weren’t quick enough.

Green nodded solemnly, “Yes it did. Why else to you think he was so surprised? Anyway what was the treasure Niko gave you?”

“I can hardly call this treasure,” muttered Blue holding up a bag. It was what looked like a purple face that had a wide-open mouth showing white pointy teeth. It could have been easily mistaken for a mask.

“…that’s what he gave you?” asked Green his mouth twitching slightly as he looked that the bag. When Blue nodded the twitch had become a full smile, “Anyway you should go and report to Niko before Tetra finds you slacking,” ordered Green pushing Blue towards the stairs.

The other boy stared at Green suspiciously for a few moments before descending down the stairs. After he was gone Green started laughing to himself.

‘I can’t believe that Niko actually thinks that bag was real treasure,’ he thought grinning like an idiot, ‘and he was worried that he would get in trouble if Tetra found out!’

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“What were you doing with Niko the whole time,’ Tetra demanded at Blue that night, “Were you playing games for treasure?”

Blue grinned nervously, “No. What gives you that idea?” he said out loud while he was thinking, ‘That girl doesn’t miss a trick.’

Tetra stared at him for a few seconds before turning around. They were both in the crow’s nest of the ship. The whole ship was hidden behind a giant rock and the only way you could see over it. Why were they hiding behind a rock? Because they had arrived at Forsaken Fortress.

To say the fortress was large was an understatement. It had massive walls surrounding it and spotlights searching the ocean around it. The only parts you could see past the walls were the tip of a tower and a large nest that housed the large bird that had kidnapped the girls.

‘Stupid bird,’ Blue thought angrily, ‘this is completely your fault!’

“Look over there!” exclaimed Tetra breaking Blue out of his thoughts of killing the bird. She was pointing to one of the windows in the tower of the fortress, “You said that your sister likes to play with seagulls right? Well there is a lot of them flocking around that window. That might be where you sister is being held!”

She looked around the area frowning, “just how are we going to get you over there?” she mumbled then she grinned evilly and winked at Blue, “I have a plan!”

Blue looked at Tetra nervously, “Whatever it is I don’t want to do it.”

Unfortunately he had no choice. That was why a few minutes later he was standing in a barrel that in turn was on top of a catapult. Blue gulped nervously.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?’ he asked trying to look like he wasn’t scared.

“Just relax,” said Gonzo, “We’re pros. We do this all the time you have nothing to worry about.”

Blue didn’t look that much reassured instead he looked even more scared.

“Look do you want to sister this is the only way we can get in,” Tetra snapped, “So be quiet and get ready.”

Blue sighed. Here Tetra’s word was final. There was no backing out of this. To calm himself he looked around. Tetra, Gonzo and another pirate who Blue didn’t know his name was standing around him. Blue was slightly surprised that neither Niko or Green was here. Niko had become almost a friend (keyword: almost) and Green always seemed to be following him around.

“Three!” shouted Gonzo suddenly. Blue prepared himself was best as could which wasn’t that much.

“Two!” Blue closed his eyes.

“One!” Here we g-

“Wait!” that was Green. Blue opened his eyes and looked at the boy. He was holding Blue’s sword and shield and running up to them. Blue’s eyes widened; he forgot his stuff!

Too late to get his stuff now. The catapult had lifted him and the barrel into the air and into the fortress.

Splash! Blue had landed into water. After getting his bearing he swam to a ledge and climbed onto a ledge.

“Blue you idiot!” came Tetra’s voice from…his pocket!? Blue swore loudly and almost fell back into the water, “Oh for goodness sake. I put a stone that you can talk through in your pocket. Get it out!” when Blue got it out she continued, “How could you forget your sword and shield?”

“I don’t know I just did!” snapped Blue shrugging.

There was a sigh on the other end, “What are we going to do now? I can’t just leave you without your sword and shield. I could use the catapult to send them to you.”

Blue shook his head, “Bad idea. Something that light would probably fly over the fortress.”

“Shut up! I’m trying to think of an idea,” Tetra voice replied. There was a chatter on the other side, “No we’re not going to do that,” a pause more chattering. It seemed to be Green’s voice, “Because I’m not putting you in danger!” another pause, “good point but-”

“What the heck are you talking about,” yelled Blue his patience thinning quickly.

“Well Green was suggesting that he could come over and give the weapons to you,” said Tetra you could practically hear her frowning, “But-“

“No way!”

“That’s what I said,” Tetra said, “I could probably come instead if it’s really ness-”

“No! I can do this do this just fine by myself!” declared Blue and to prove it he walked into the fortress…and right into a spotlight. Alarms went off everywhere and all the other spotlights shined on him.

“Idiot,” came Tetra’s voice from the stone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Idiot,” Tetra said rolling her eyes. Beside her Green groaned and smacked his hand to his forehead.

“How could he just do that?” he asked himself in wonder.

“So what we going to do?” asked Mako who had wondered over when he heard the commotion. Tetra pocketed the stone so that Blue couldn’t hear and turned to him.

“We could just leave him there,” she suggested grinning slightly. When got a bunch of glares from Green she sighed and continued, “But that would be the wrong thing to do. I mean we didn’t just sail here just to let the kid be captured. That’s a waste of time.”

“Also because Blue and Aryll are my friends and we can’t just leave them there,” added Green clearly annoyed with Tetra’s attitude.

“And that I guess,” relented Tetra nodding, “So what are we going to do?”

“I could-”

“No,” Tetra interrupted Green before he could even start.

“Why not?” he asked getting irritated.

“Do we have to go through this argument again?” Tetra git a raised eyebrow for a response, “You’re too young and I’m not letting you go into a dangerous place like the Forsaken Fortress!”

“You let Blue go!” yelled Green losing his temper.

“Oh no,” muttered Mako. Green was usually laid back but when he got angry he was worse then Tetra. The said pirate gave him a warning glance before turning back to Green.

“That’s because he’s not my baby brother OR my pirate crew!” Tetra had also lost her temper, “Your not going!”

“What’s stopping me! I could easily just go behind you back like I do all the time!”

“He’s right you know,” piped up Mako.

Tetra turned and glared at Mako, “You’re not helping!” then she turned to her little brother, “I could easily lock you up in my cabin if I wanted to!”

“If you do that I’ll nether forgive you,” snapped Green dead serious.

They had a glaring contest similar to the one Blue and Tetra had earlier but this time the topic was more serious.

“Why?” asked Tetra suddenly, “and don’t say because there you’re friends. You hardly know both of them.”

Green blinked surprised at the sudden change of Tetra, “Because,” he said calmly, “There something odd between about Blue and me. Not just the similar names and looks but other stuff as well. I’m sure you noticed.”

Tetra nodded, she indeed had noticed as well as everyone else on the ship. If you de aged Blue a couple of years he would look like a brown eyed, golden blonde haired version of Green.

Then there were other things. Both were left-handed which was rare to find and both had similar liking in food, clothes, etc. Then Tetra and Blue had very similar attitudes both being impatient and short tempered. It was like Blue was a long lost brother or cousin or something.

It was just too much of a coincidence to ignore.

“Good because I hoped I wasn’t the only one who noticed,” Green nodded smiling slightly, “So some reason because of that I want to help him. And just because I only knew Aryll for half an hour doesn’t mean she’s not my friend,” he finished poking out his tongue.

“Fine,” said Tetra shortly.

“Wha- what?” asked Green looking surprised.

“You can go,” she said, “Just don’t get hurt or in trouble of I’ll personally kill you!”

Green grinned and clapped his hands happily. Tetra pulled out her stone and said to it: “Hold on help is coming whether you like it or not!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue had been sitting in a prison cell staring into the stone when finally Tetra had said something. He had heard yelling coming from the stone but he couldn’t hear what they were saying.

“Finally!” he snapped, “I’ve been waiting here for like forever!”

“It’s been hardly five minutes, Blue,” Tetra said, “Couldn’t you have tried to find a way out of the cell you in?”

Blue blushed slightly he hadn’t thought of that, “I’m doing that now!”

“Suuuree,” Tetra’s reply was obviously sarcastic, “So where exactly do you think you are in the fortress?”

“I don’t know,” Blue replied shrugging, “I wasn’t really paying any attention of where they were sending me. I was trying to get free.”

“…Idiot,” Tetra said there was movement, “Well Green it looks like you have to search the whole thing for him.”

“Wait! Green? Why him?” asked Blue.

“No particular reason,” replied Tetra evasively, “He’s bringing the sword and shield over with him. So you figure out a way to get out of the cell!”

“Fine,” Blue replied looking around.

“And Blue,” Tetra said softly, “When you find him take good care of him,” then a little more louder, “Otherwise I’ll kill you too.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The creatures who were controlling the spotlights were not humans. Instead they were the same monsters that had attacked Green and Blue in the forest before. It was a good thing they weren’t because otherwise they would have noticed a barrel in a spot where it was a couple of seconds ago.

But because they weren’t smart enough they didn’t and continued to carry on looking through the area. When the spotlight went past again there was nothing there like it was the first time. The monsters still didn’t notice anything.

The barrel slowly moved to the door stopping when a spotlight came near it. When it got the door the barrel was lifted and revealed Green who pushed the door slightly and peeked in. No one was there.

Green frowned. The security was too light. Either the people in the fortress were too arrogant and believed that no one would get in or it was a trap of some sort. Green really hoped it wasn’t the second option. He walked in dragging the barrel with him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue had finally found a way out of the cell. Behind a pot on top of a bookcase there was a tunnel big enough for a child to fit through. A child like him.

After crawling through it he walked down the passageway that was completely free of monsters. When he got the end there was a large gap between where he was and where the door was. It wasn’t like that before. What happened to the path?

Blue looked down the gap below them was another floor with another prison cell. He was about to jump down when he footsteps coming towards the cell. It looked like he wasn’t going to go that way if he didn’t want to be capture again.

Irritated Blue looked up and noticed a lamp tied on to a rope. He could possibly jump onto it and the other side! If it could hold it’s weight.

The rope looked thick enough and there were no other options so Blue jumped. It swung slightly but that was it. Thanking Niko and the pirates for making him do the test Blue swung easily to the other side.

“Wait!” he heard someone say. Blue froze and looked around but whatever the voice was it didn’t seemed to directed to him.

“You two stay here!” the voice ordered. It seemed to be coming…below him?

Blue curiously looked down the large gap. There was a man that looked like he was in his late teens/early twenties and was purple. Literally. He’s clothes was purple, his hair was purple, heck even his skin looked purple

‘This might be the man who ordered that bird to kidnap the girls!’ Blue thought suddenly rage welling up inside him, ‘No. First find out if Aryll is all right and find Green. Then rip the guy to shreds later.’

Reluctantly the boy in a blue tunic turned around a went through a nearby door looking a way to get to his little sister.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green had been in the same area as Blue when the guy in purple showed up. Green had almost walked into him with his barrel when he had entered a room with a large cooking pot.

Luckily he had been facing the other way and was walking towards the corridor up ahead. Thinking along the same lines as Blue, Green decided to follow the guy and see what he was up to.

As the man in purple walked up the corridor he dismissed all the monsters (these ones being large pig-like creatures with spears) except for two who stood by the door. The man stopped and faced something but Green couldn’t see. He then started talking to someone.

Curious Green crept slowly up to the where the monsters were stopping just a couple of metres away from them. Surprisingly the monsters didn’t see him, which was lucky, but unluckily for him he still couldn’t hear what they were saying.

The boy pouted slightly deciding to wait for the conversation to finish indeed a couple of minutes later it did when the man stormed out of the room looking angry. Then he paused as he walked by Green’s barrel.

“Hmm…what is this? That wasn’t there before,” he muttered curiously reaching for the barrel.

Inside Green who had been looking through a gap in the barrel saw him reaching for it, ‘Oh crap,’ he thought desperately his eye’s widening, ‘Oh crap, oh crap! What am I going to do?’ he reached for Blue’s sword.

Typically just as the man in purple was about to pick up the barrel a large crash was heard in the distance. The man looked around in surprise and took off presumably to investigate what caused it the monsters right behind him.

“…” Green just sat there before yelling out, “Yay for coincidences!” then he clamped his hand over his mouth realizing that he had said that out loud.

“Hello?” a tentative voice called out from the room the man had been in before. It didn’t seem to be a threat but it could be trap so Green crept into the room with his barrel.

“Hello?” the voice asked again coming from the right. Green shifted the barrel towards the sound and looked through it. Whoever had said that was in a prison cell.

The person was what appeared to be a girl at first glance because of the long hair and the face. But the voice had sounded like a guys- a high-pitched but still a guy’s voice. Green frowned, wasn’t the bird only kidnapping girls? Unless…

‘The bird thought this guy was a girl!’ Green realized trying not to laugh out loud.

“It’s no use Red,” sighed another voice. This one was another male who also had long hair tied back into a ponytail but he hardly looked…well girly. Well that ruined Green’s deduction.

“But I thought I heard a voice, Vio,” ‘Red’ said looking around, “and it wasn’t like that mean purple guy.”

The other one -Vio- frowned looking at Red with concern, “Maybe you are hearing things?”

Red shook his head sniffing slightly, “I know I heard something. It sounded like someone was cheering.”

“Now I definitely think you’ve lost it,” Vio said, “Why would anyone be happy in a place like this?”

“Well maybe whoever owns this place finished their plot of world domination,” suggested Green who had gotten out of the barrel and was now leaning on the wall, “But that was me sorry to say.”

Red shrieked loudly while Vio jumped in surprise and turned around to face Green, “Who are you and how did you get here!” he demanded.

“Well, I’m Green,” he introduced himself, “I got here by my completely awesome barrel of course. How did YOU get here?”

“That scary bird kidnapped me,” Red said getting over his shock. Vio stayed quiet staring at Green oddly, “Well us,” Red corrected himself, “The bird thought I was a girl and swooped at me. Vio tried to stop it but instead he got caught as well. So now we’re stuck here.”

Red stopped looking like he was going to cry. Vio sighed slightly and looked at Green, “You know you didn’t answer my question.”

“I did actually,” Green replied grinning, “You asked me how I got here so I told how I did. By a barrel.”

“…” Vio gave him a stern look.

“Fine I’ll be serious,” Green said sighing slightly, “Well my friend Blue’s-”

“Blue?” Vio asked thoughtfully.

“Yep, Blue’s sister got captured by the big bird-”

“The Helmaroc King you mean?” Vio interrupted looking curious.

“Helmaroc King. That thing has a name?” repeated the other boy blinking in surprise when Vio nodded he continued, “Blue asked (more like demanded actually) my sister if can come on our ship and bring him to the Forsaken Fortress. We did and threw him over the wall with a catapult.”

“You what!” Red exclaimed loudly.

“Don’t worry he was fine,” replied Green dismissively, “Could you stop interrupting me? Anyway, the idiot had forgot his weapons so I went over to give them to him.”

“So you went into the fortress just to give someone their weapons when they could easily find some weapons here?” Vio asked slowly.

“Oh not you too,” muttered Green glaring slightly, “Blue got captured as well so I went to help him and Aryll is my friend too.”

Vio nodded slightly figuring that Aryll was most likely Blue’s sister while Red stood there looking confused.

“Wait…what?” he asked frowning.

“Never-mind about that. I explain properly when I figure a way to get you out,” Green said looking around for a key or something.

“I suggest trying that switch over there,” Vio said pointing to a switch that seemly in the middle of nowhere.

“I doubt it,” snorted Green looking at the switch but stood on it anyway. The door to the cell swung wide open.

Green stared at Vio who was now smirking smugly, “Don’t say anything,” he muttered pouting slightly as Red cheered happily and ran out of the cell.

Wow, you've done a pretty good job. It's cool how you've combined the 4 Link's into WW's story so far.
Other than a few spelling mistakes, it's very well written IMO.

Keep it up. I'm looking forward to more chapters.

Wind Waker: Four Swords Edition!

Chapter 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Why am I doing this again?” asked Blue to the stone that was around his neck.

“Well how else are you going to save your sister?” came Tetra’s voice from the stone.

Blue was standing on top of one of the three spotlight towers in the Forsaken Fortress. While the other two spotlights searched out the main grounds the one Blue was near was pointed exactly on the path he needed to get to.

But this is was not that certain spotlight. Tetra suggested (in other words ordered) Blue to stop that spotlight just in case it helped Green. After a couple of minutes of bickering Blue reluctantly agreed it would be a good idea to do it.

“So what do I have to do now?” asked Blue eying the monster controlling the spotlights on top of a stand. It had surprisingly had not noticed him yet.

“Attack it of course!” replied Tetra as though it was obvious. Blue stared blankly at the stone, “…Oh wait you don’t have a weapon don’t you?” she asked sheepishly, “Just…look around you, there might be something you can use.”

Blue did so looking around quickly and looked into the stone, “There is a pot full of sticks,” he reported, “I could throw the pot at it.”

“Or you could use one of the sticks as a weapon,” contradicted Tetra groaning, “That would work much better.”

Blue grumbled knowing that she was she was right and moved forward picked up a stick. It was when the monster finally noticed; it pulled a lever causing the lever to go up and jumped off the stand brandishing a stuck similar to what Blue was using.

“Look! It’s only using a stick,” pointed out Tetra, “You might actually win this!”

“What do you mean ‘might’?” Blue demanded angrily completely forgetting the monster for a second.

“Heh. Come on I don’t think you have any experience in defeating monsters!” Tetra gloated smugly.

Blue growled, “I have to! Who do you think saved you from those monsters in the forest!”

“I don’t know. Maybe Green?” Tetra seemed to be laughing on the other end.

“Why, you-” out of nowhere a stick came out of nowhere. Blue quickly jumped out of the way avoided the attack. He snarled slightly and stuck the monster. After a few more hits the monster was dead.

“There! I defeated it without getting hurt at all!” Blue bragged smirking.

“Remember it’s the weakest kind,” reminded Tetra, “Though I guess you were pretty good. But that’s not the point. Go and turn off the other two spotlights Mister Hotshot.”

Blue rolled his eyes, “Yes miss bossy boots.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green, Red and Vio had barely moved from the spot from before. In fact they were just sitting on a table outside the prison cell. Green was explaining in detail of why he was here to a wide-eyed Red while Vio sat there barely even listening, instead he was deep in thought.

“Then big crashing noises came out of nowhere and the purple guy went away to see what made the noise,” Green was saying, “and then I yelled out and you heard me!” finishing he’s story he turned to Vio, “Who was that guy anyway?”

Vio blinked surprised at the sudden question, “I don’t know who that guy is. He just comes and visit every now and then,” He said slowly, “He seems to hate us for some reason. Don’t know why, I’ve never met him in my life.”

“Me neither,” Red said, “There is something odd about him.”

“Besides living in a fortress full of monsters?” asked Green snorting slightly.

Red blushed slightly, “Yeah. There is just a weird…aura I guess about him. Like something is not right.”

“Hmm…I guess so,” Vio muttered thoughtfully, “ I just want to know,” he stopped and shook his head, “Never mind.”

Green looked at Vio in confusion he was about to say something when a thumping noise came from above them. All three of them stared up silent until the sound faded away.

“We should go now,” Vio said turning to the other two, “We shouldn’t stay here any longer.”

Both Green and Red nodded and three walked to the opening of the corridor. The pig-like monsters were back and they brought even more of them. Five now walked the corridor.

“Moblins,” Vio hissed frowning, “That might be a problem.”

“Those things are called Moblins? They have a name as well?” asked Green louder then expected. One of the Moblins looked up and the boys quickly ran back.

“Yes they have a name Green,” Vio said rolling his eyes when he thought it was safe, “Just about every monster has a name.”

“Vio reads a lot of books,” Red said to Green who was staring at Vio in surprise, “He’s like a walking, talking book sometimes.”

Green snorted, “That’s one way to put it,” he snickered.

Vio glared at both of them causing the two to go quiet, “We have to think of a way to get past them,” he said.

“I could use Blue’s sword,” suggested Green pointing to the sword strapped to his back.

Vio shook his head, “No. Both there’s to much of them and Red and I don’t have any weapons to help you,” he stood there looking around thinking of a way to get past.

“Why didn’t you use the sword before?” Red asked Green curiously.

“I didn’t want to draw attention to myself,” Green replied grinning widely, “Unlike Blue who charged right into the fortress without thinking of the consequences.”

“Oh right you told me that,” Red said starting to grin himself, “Why did he do that?”

“Because he is an idiot,” replied Green as though it was obvious before starting to laugh, Red soon followed cheering up a bit. Vio turned towards them looking annoyed.

“You know you could be helping me find a way out of here,” he snapped. Green turned to him looking a bit surprised.

“We go by barrel of course,” he said turning to look at the abandoned barrel on the ground.

Red frowned, “Um…Green I don’t think we will all fit in there,” he said looking doubtful.

Vio sighed, “It looks like we have no choice.”

That was why about ten minutes later when a Moblin looked up from his search he saw a barrel. It had made an odd sound as though it was in pain. The Moblin stared at it blankly, when it didn’t make more noises it turned away and went back it’s work.

After the Moblin turned around the barrel was lifted up slightly and six pairs of legs appeared from underneath it. It awkwardly walked towards the other side of the corridor stopping every time a Moblin looked it way.

When it finally got to the door the barrel was lifted all the way up revealing the three boys. Red was clutching his foot in pain while Green was apologising to him as quietly as he could. Soon Red stood up and they entered the next room.

It was the room with a large pot. Thankfully there were absolutely no monsters around. Vio walked towards a wall to the left. It had map of the fortress on it, the room they were in had a large circle around it.

“Alright, Green where did you say where Blue’s sister was?” he asked looking at the map.

“We think she is in the highest part of the fortress,” Green replied frowning, “You know that is very typical for a bad guy.”

Vio nodded thoughtfully ignoring the last part, “Well there is no reason to keep going through the bottom parts of this place. According to this map there is a ladder in this room,” he looked right and there the ladder was. It was leaning against a platform, “If we climb it we will be in the higher parts of the fortress. There we can make our way to the tower. Lets go then.”

“Okies!” Green exclaimed and started to quickly climb the ladder. After hesitating a bit Red followed but more slowly. Vio rolled his eyes and climbed up after them. Sure enough at the top of it there was a door leading to the outside.

When they walked through the outside was surprisingly dark. Only one spotlight was searching the grounds while the other two was pointed up into the sky. But there was nothing up there. Green looked up and frowned.

“What is with them,” he asked, “Why aren’t they searching the grounds.”

“That was because of me,” came Blue’s smug voice from somewhere near him.

Green turned around quickly. When he saw Blue he clapped his hands in happiness. “Yay! Blue!” he said happily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Yay! Blue!” Green said happily. Blue frowned he was hoping that Green would be scared or something. It would have been the perfect revenge from when the boy had scared Blue near the bridge back at Outset.

“Where the hell have you been?” he grumbled his words echoed by Tetra.

Green blinked, “Whoa that was a freaky coincidence.”

“That doesn’t answer my question,” snapped Tetra she was most likely glaring into the stone at this moment.

“What was that?” cried a person next to Green. For a second Blue thought he was the purple man before, but it was only someone his age in purple clothes. He was staring at Blue’s chest in confusion.

Not that he noticed it there was another person next to Green. It was…a girl? She had hair to her shoulders and wore red clothes.

“Oh, that?” Green said addressing the boy in purple, “That’s just one of the stones my sister, Tetra owns. She can talk to people through it with a stone of her own.”

“I’ve never seen a thing like that in my life,” said the girl staring at the stone.

Green shrugged, “Yeah it is very rare. It might be the only ones there is.”

“Where did you find it?” the boy asked sounding very interested.

“Oh it’s a family heirloom,” Green replied.

Blue stood there watching the exchanged in surprise, “What the hell!” he exclaimed, “Why is he here?” he pointed to the boy, “And why the heck did you save her and not my sister!?”

Green stared at the boy in Blue blankly, “Girl? What girl?” he asked thoroughly confused looking around.

Blue growled thinking that Green was joking around, “Her!” he shouted and was shushed by the boy he continued slightly quietly, “The one who is standing right next to you!” he pointed towards the girl pointing towards the girl. She started to sniff.

“You think that I am a girl?” she asked on the verge of tears. Green and the other boy exchange glances.

“Don’t worry, Red,” the boy said comforting her, “He was only joking. He didn’t mean it.”

“No I-” before Blue could say anything else Green kicked him in the shins.

“Vio is right, Red,” Green said grinning, “Blue would never say such an insensitive thing like that! Wouldn’t you Blue?”

“Oh. OH!” It seemed that Blue had finally realised that Red was a boy, “Yeah. I was just joking,” he laughed weakly.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Tetra cut in sounded faintly annoyed, “But don’t you have a job to do?”

Both Red and Vio jumped in surprise not used to voices coming from stones while Green and Blue nodded, starting to walk with the other two following. After he had recovered from the shock Red turned to Blue.

“I am Red from Greatfish Isle,” he politely introduced himself, “And this is Vio. He is also from Greatfish.” Vio just nodded to the Blue and continued to walk.

“Blue,” he said gruffly, “We have to get up there,” he addressed all of them pointing towards the highest tower.

“We know,” pointed out Vio, “We have to go through the door at the end of this corridor. Then we just continue from there. We’ll eventually get there if we keep going this way.”

Blue stopped and stared at Green who grinned sheepishly. Vio ignored this and opened the door to the next room. The room was similar to the one that Blue was held in. It had two platforms and a rope hanging from the roof with a lantern attached to it.

“Looks like we have to use the rope to get across,” Green said cheerfully, “Lucky for did that ‘test,’ Blue,” he paused, “But what about Red and Vio?”

“I think I can do it. I’ve done things like this before. But…” he trailed off looking towards Red.

He was staring at the rope wide-eyed and was shaking slightly, “I- I don’t think I can do that.” He said stuttering.

The other three boys exchanged glances thinking the exact same thing, ‘How are we going to do this?’

Green then suddenly started grinned again, “I know!” he said happily, “You can go with Blue!”

“What!” yelled Blue. It was thankful that no one had noticed them by now, “What kind of idea is that?”

“Hmm…that’s a good idea Green,” Vio said nodding, “Blue is the strongest one of us. He can easily hold Red and hold the rope.”

Blue turned to Vio glaring at him. Red stood there blushing madly.

“I could try to-” he started but unsurprisingly Blue cut him off.

“Don’t be stupid,” he snarled, “If you just fall down we have to go and get you slowing the rescue of my little sister!”

“Then why don’t you help him?” Vio asked looking amused.

“Because I don’t have to do it,” Blue replied looking stubborn, “We can’t either of you can do it?” Vio merely raised an eyebrow at him.

“Aw! Come on Blue,” Green said pouting, “It’s not like we are asking you to kiss him or something.”

The all paused suddenly thinking of the exact same thing each having a different reaction. Green burst out laughing almost collapsing onto the ground, Vio coughed politely covering up his laugh, Red blushed even more then before and Blue turned to Green looking like he was going to kill the other boy.

Green rolled his eyes and pushed the highly irritated Blue towards Red, “Just go with it. If you don’t help Red we will be stuck here and that means no saving Aryll and you don’t want that do you?” he asked rhetorically.

“Fine then,” Blue relented sighing, “Just. Don’t tell anyone you hear?”

Green nodded solemnly and Blue turned to Red standing there awkwardly. This ended up with Red sitting on the other side clutching his leg in pain, Blue stood behind him looking grouchy not even bothering to apologize.

Vio sighed and jumped onto the rope swinging a couple of times before jumping off. Green followed straight away jumping to the other side without swinging more then once. When he jumped off to the other side he bowed mockingly causing a certain grumpy someone to glare at him.

They went outside again. This place was where the last spotlight was searching the main area. Red looked at the spotlight.

“Do you think we should stop that spotlight?” he asked curiously, “We might need it gone later on.”

“Nah, it’s too much bother,” Blue said shaking his head, he then looked at Green as though he just realised something, “You still have my sword and shield. I want them back.”

“Why? You have that stick, You can use that as a weapon,” with a stern look from the other boy, Green grinned slightly, “Fine, but I want the stick!”

The swap was made and they continued on to the next room, the spotlight ignored. The next one room had two Moblins searching around the place with rats and bats running around it.

“This place is a complete wreck,” commented Tetra speaking up.

This time Red and Vio didn’t jump in shock instead they, like the others to glance towards stone as though it was a daily occurrence.

“Yeah I noticed that myself,” Green said nodding, “It’s like they don’t even care about the condition.”

“Maybe they don’t,” suggested Red, “That mean purple guy didn’t seem like a caring person,” he frowned looking upset at that.

“The whole place is impossible to get through in general,” Vio agreed thoughtfully, looking at the monsters he added, “We have to be careful and not draw att-”

He was cut off by Blue, who had drawn his sword and shield and ran to attack the Moblin closet to them. It looked up as the sword came down on it and barely dodged it.

“-ention,” finished Vio sighing. Green rolled his eyes and ran after him brandishing his sword. The racket caused the other Moblin to come over, it threw its lantern at Blue who ducked the lantern skimming over his head.

“Blue you are an idiot!” cried Green as he attacked the first Moblin hitting it on the chest. The Moblin retaliated by swinging it spear at Blue who brought his shield just in time. The spear came flying into the air landing right near Vio who picked it up.

“See this is what happens when you draw attention to yourself,” he hissed at Blue, “At this rate everyone in the whole entire Fortress here!”

“I doubt it!” Blue snapped as a retaliation. Just to prove him wrong a Moblin came crashing from the room ahead of them. Red screeched in surprise and ran over to the tree others.

“What are we going to do?” he asked looking worried. Vio looked at the weapon less Red and then at Blue who was holding his sword and shield facing the third Moblin.

“Blue!” Vio ordered, “Give your shield to Blue,” the other boy distracted absently gave the shield to Red, “There now you can defend yourself.”

Red nodded and held up his new shield just as one of the Moblins decided to attack. It racketed off and Vio holding the spear awkwardly stabbed it. The monster died going up in purple smoke.

Blue and Green both managed to defeat the second Moblin together without getting into each other ways. That meant there was only one left. It looked at the four boys who surrounded it and then at its hands; which held no weapon.

The Moblin then chose the only option left. It jumped off the floor and into the water below. Instead of swimming to one of the ladders it just sunk disappearing under the small waves.

“…what just happened?” Green said blankly, the other shrugged looking just as confused, “Lets just continue.”

They exited to outside again. This was the last part it curled up into a circle and into the top of the tower. Green run up ahead looking around curious, Blue catching up to him yelling at him to slow down. This lead into an argument, Green grinning Blue frowning.

Red trailed behind them all his head bent down, Vio stopped and waited for him looking concerned, “What is wrong?” he asked, “You seem more quieter then usual.”

The boy in red looked up at the tower, “I’m getting a bad feeling about this,” he muttered, “Like a dark cloud is hovering around this place. It’s getting worse as we go up. I think there is someone we don’t want to go anywhere near them.”

“The purple guy?” Vio asked frowning staring up at the tower as well.

“No. Something not that guy,” Red said shaking his head, “Something much more…sinister.”

Vio nodded trusting him. Red had this weird ability he could always tell if something bad or good was about to happen. Since they were kids he had this. It seemed to run in the family because his mother had a similar ability.

“Well we will find out soon,” Vio said.

“Oi!” Green shouted out from ahead. He and Blue were standing up the stairs waiting for them. The other two boys quickly caught up to them.

“What the hell were you talking about?” asked Blue in his own special way.

“Nothing of importance,” dismissed Vio waving a hand lazily in the air, “lets just continue,” with that he started to walk off. Green, Red and Blue soon followed. The final path was uneventful compared to the rest of the Fortress.

It seemed like the Moblin that came crashing in before seemed to be the only guard in this area because the path was empty except for the boys. Soon the path started to thin until they had to sidle against the wall to get past.

When the path widened again it was only for a short time and had gaps, so large that you could fall and plummet to your death. That led to more sidling against the wall much to the discomfort of the four.

“You’d think that whoever owned this place at least make the place possibly to get around,” grumbled Tetra from the stone.

“Hm,” Blue absently nodded not actually paying attention to her. They could actually the door from here. Blue being the impatient person he ran past the others, right to the door and almost slamming into a monster.

Just as that happened spikes appeared up from the ground behind Blue separating him from the others. Both Green and Vio groaned in annoyance and Red cried out in surprise. The monster itself got ready to fight the boy sword and shield in hand. It was similar to the ones found in the forest and controlling the spotlights but this one was green. Blue stared at it confused.

“It’s a Elite Bokoblin, a slightly stronger version then the normal ones,” Vio quickly explained noticing Blue’s confusion, “I’m sure you can defeat it.”

“Slightly stronger, aye?” Blue asked to himself. He gripped the sword tighter and ran to attack it.

The Bokoblin quickly threw its sword up throwing Blue off balance. After stumbling a few steps he turned around quickly swiping at its chest. It had hit the Bokoblin but it was not over yet. The monster struck back narrowly missing Blue. It quickly drew back and attacked again.

Blue then did something unexpected, he rolled around on his side stopping at the back of the Bokoblin and did a spinning attack. It monster cried in pain dropped his sword and shield and collapsed on the ground.

The spikes flew down and Green came walking in making a beeline straight for the sword. He picked it up grinning.

“I got a sword!” he said in a sing-song voice, “And not just a crappy one. This one actually looks good.”

“Ahem,” Vio coughed. He had ditched the spear after the Moblins were defeated because he was completely hopeless with it. He was now weapon-less.

“Oh!” Green gasped. He picked up the sword-like stick gave it to Vio, “Here you can use this. It is really helpful!”

“…Thanks,” Vio accepted the stick looking annoyed. He had obviously wanted the proper sword.

They all then turned to the door and Red quietly as he could, opened the door and they snuck in. Inside there was a large ramp leading up to who know where and a whole bunch of cage like cells.

In the corner one it held Aryll and two other girls all sitting down and facing the other way. One of them- a girl with reddish hair looked their way and gasped causing the other two to turn around.

Aryll gasped loudly and stood up happily staring at her big brother in delight, Blue himself running over to the cage. That was when a rumbling noise and suddenly the Helmaroc King came flying down. It immediately saw Blue and attacked him.

“You! Stupid Bird this is all your fault!” Blue yelled drawing his sword and swiped at the beak. It merely bounced off it, the boy in blue not expecting it let go of the sword and the beak enclosed around him.

“Blue!” Green cried rushing forward but was stopped by Vio gripping unto his arm. The bird raised it’s head holding a protesting Blue in it’s beak and flew off into the sky.

“Blue,” Green yelled again Aryll crying out his time. The boy tore himself from Vio’s grip and started to run up the ramp on the other side even though he knew he couldn’t catch the bird.

“Green stop running and think rationally,” snapped Vio trying to stay calm. It didn’t help that Aryll was crying and Red looked like he was going to cry himself, “We need to get the girls out of here.”

“But what about Blue,” Red asked sniffing slightly, Green walking towards them gazed questionably at the boy in purple at that.

“He…he can take care of himself,” Vio said looking guilty. He really did want to help Blue but he couldn’t, “Green use that sword you got. It should be able to cut the wood.”

Green nodded looking a bit shaky. He walked up to the cell, making sure he wouldn’t hit the girls and swung the sword at the cage as hard as he could. The sword merely broke snapping clean in half.

“How? But…” Green stared at the broken sword dumbly, “Why did the sword break?”

“Oh that. It’s just a simple spell that brakes any weapon on impact,” A voice said from above them.

All the occupants of them room jerked and stared up above them. The man in purple from before was hovering above them smirking evilly.

“I knew I could smell a couple of rats,” he said, the smirk widening into a grin, “It seems that I have to exterminate them.”
