The Siege of Windfall Island
By: Jacob
Edrington
It was a cool October day in
the Great Sea the wind was blowing spraying sea foam from the
shore. The gulls were screeching, Sailors were at work in port,
and Zunari the Shop Guru was busy at work this was the peaceful
scene at Windfall Island.
Gannon had been killed by Link, and the world was at peace… or
was it?
Hoy Link, screamed Link’s little sister Aryll. Grandma says to
be home by 6. Ok Aryll screamed link, thank you! Link’s family
had recently moved to Windfall Island in order to get away from
the constant monster attacks on Outset.
Link was starting to get bored, and went down to the beach. He
went past Tot the dancer on his way, and as he passed Tot
screamed at the sky, why must I be cursed so? Why does my dance
not change the sky? Tot was trying to do the song of passing {a
song that turns night to day, and vice-versa.} Ok thought Link
as he passed, and hurried on.
When he finally reached the beach it was late afternoon. He laid
down on the shore, watching crabs scuttle by, and the Fishman
jumping up breaking the surface of the water. {They are fish
that can speak the words of men.} Suddenly Link turned, and saw
a huge pirate ship. It was 60 ft from
Head to toe, had1 sail, and the traditional skull, and cross
bones. The ship grew closer, and Link relaxed it was Tetras
ship. When the ship docked in port Link was the first one to
meet the friendly pirates.
As the ship drew closer Link could see it was a mess. The mast
was snapped in half, the sail was full of arrows, and its port
bow had a hole in it!!! Link thought what happened to the
boat???
When Tetra got to Link she had a grim expression.
When Link saw this he immediately confronted her. Tetra… what’s
wrong? Link I have some bad news, Gannon’s army is coming to
destroy Windfall.
Auction House: 9 P.M.
The whole Island, and more was gathered on the first floor of
the auction house. Species of all kinds were gathered there.
From Ritos, to koroks, all good creatures of the sea were
standing around mumbling. Attention everyone yelled Link Tetra
has come to tell us about Gannon’s army’s upcoming invasion!
Immediately everyone turned their heads towards Tetra. Being a
Hero gets respect, and attention. Ok everyone sighed Tetra I’ll
tell you every thing I know.
Flashback
Me, and my crew had just finished raiding a Moblin village when
we saw a huge bonfire. I cautiously snuck towards the light.
When I got closer I saw the biggest amount of monsters I had
ever seen in my life. Every kind was there from the weakest pea
hat to the strongest dark nut, and in the middle there was a
huge moblin easily 9 ft tall. I knew it was the leader since
there was so many weapons lain down by his feet, and when he
spoke every eye was on him. He spoke ancient hylian, which I
knew very little but from what I heard was something like this…
fellow followers of Ganondorf we are here for one reason… the
destruction of Link! Immense roaring, and shouts of approval
followed this. When things quieted down the Great Moblin
continued, we now have the strength, and numbers to defeat them,
on the night of the full moon we will attack, and smite all of
Windfall Island. However that’s not all we’ll do, we will spread
destruction to all the Great Sea. I started to back away when a
branch snapped. Suddenly a spotlight was shone on me, and all
the forces of Hell were on my heels. We managed to lose them in
the mist but the full moons only 3 nights away. {End flashback}
Now the assembly was moaning occasionally dropping a were
doomed. Without warning Link jumped up, and shouted stop crying
you big babies! I’ve been in tight spots before but I always got
out of them. This is no different! Link’s right shouted prince
Komali, he’s always been there for us now it’s our turn!!
Several agreements were shouted across the room. So, said Link
let’s get to work.
Preparation
Much was accomplished over the next 3 days. T he Bomb shop was
turned into a canon under the supervision of Canon, and
Salvatore. The Light House was transformed into a sniping post
for archers. All entrances were sealed turning Windfall into a
Fortress. Lastly a call to arms went out all over the Great Sea.
Responses were uncountable. In total there were 50,000 Hylians,
40,000 Ritos, and finally 10,000 koroks. They held a meeting on
the 3’rd day, and decided that the koroks would plant Boko-Baba
seeds as traps; the Hylians would divide up into berserkers with
Link leading them, and archers. The Raito’s would drop bombs on
enemies as they flew past lead by Prince Komali. Finally Zunari
managed to round up 30,000 horses. This was it.
Siege
The day was dark, stormy, and monotonous. There was no sunshine,
or signs of life anywhere. No seagulls could be heard squawking,
no scuttling of crabs, every living thing seemed to be holding
their breath. The siege began at 7 a.m. It started when the
first ship came into view. The war cries could be heard for
miles. They were low, and eerie like tortured spirits. Link
started giving orders, there were archers scrambling into
positions in the Light House, and on the wall where the people
could see the archway. Get ready, screamed Link to the archers,
Hold steady; the Great Moblins ships were coming within range…
Fire, screamed Link!!!
7 a.m. Great Moblins battle ship
The Great Moblin was in an exceptionally good mood. The Island
had no clue they would be slaughtered, and that pirate girl so
what that ship was probably at the bottom of the ocean. Suddenly
the Great Moblin was knocked from his daydream by a sudden
explosion. The Great Moblin picked himself off the floor in time
to see a whimpering bookoblin rush in. Statuses report you
sniveling coward roared the Great Moblin. One of our ships was
blown to smithereens sir the bookoblin whimpered. What the Great
Moblin slammed his fist into the table situated in the center of
the room. That girl must have gotten word to them, can’t be
helped rally the men tell them to take no prisoners, the Great
Moblin mumbled. Yes sir… r-r-right away sir the bookoblin was
about to wet himself. Oh, and one more thing said the GM, Link
is mine. Yes sir the bb said quickly getting out of his leaders
way, some times I’m more scared of him then the Hylians thought
the bookoblin.
Windfall Island: Front Lines 7:38 a.m.
The battle was starting to heat up for Link. The enemy was
starting to land, and if they took the cannon they were dead
meat. Suddenly a lantern soared over the wall. It went off like
a Molotov cocktail. The lanterns are filled with fire Kesse
shouted Link. A few women scrambled out to put out the fire.
Link yelled to the archers focus on keeping the cannon safe,
switch to normal arrows, fire arrows might set the gunpowder
off! The boko-baba - seeds were being hacked to pieces by
Darknuts. Link swore, troops charge he yelled, and they galloped
out on their horses swarming the on coming enemy. Meanwhile the
Ritos were destroying most of the ships, Keep in formation,
yelled Komali over the explosions. Just then something swooped
by, it looked like a bird but had tail feathers of a phoenix.
Kagarocs, shouted Komali pull back, pull back.
Main Canon 8 a.m.
Hurry up yelled cannon the bomb maker. Hurry up you little
walking sticks. The Koroks were helping load the canon. Target
in sight yelled Salvatore, next Target acquired. Cannon heard a
sizzling sound, and looked down the gunpowder’s on fire he
yelled right before he was blown to a million pieces, along with
Salvatore, and the Koroks.
Great Moblins armory 8:25 am
The GM was in a great mood. He destroyed the canon, and now they
were gaining ground. The GM was in jet-black, Armour, and
wearing a war helmet that was made for the recently deceased
Ganondorf. He outfitted himself with a sword that was rumored,
to have been used by Satan himself. Then he finished it all off
with a mythril shield. Come Link thought the Great Moblin, the
hour of doom is at hand. {Cue maniacal laughter.}
Hylian Front Lines: 9:00 A.M.
Things were growing worse for Link. The Ritos were being swarmed
by Kagarocs, and Valoo wouldn’t be here for another 20 minutes.
Suddenly a massive explosion knocked everyone to their feet.
Link scrambled up to see a huge crater where the bomb shop had
been. Strangely enough the noises of battle faded away, and he
heard the sound of Aryll’s voice… HEEELP Big Brother! Link
looked up, and everything seemed to slow down. A huge Moblin was
holding Aryll off the ground by the throat. Then he plunged his
Hell-forged sword through Aryll’s heart. Nooooooo screamed Link.
He rushed over to Aryll’s dying body, as she whispered her last
words I love you big brother. How could you whispered Link. The
Great Moblin merely grinned, and said Come Link face me like a
man. Damn you screamed Link as he rushed through swarms of
enemies, like a lawnmower through grass.
Vengeance
Link, and the Great Moblin rushed to meet each other in battle,
their swords clashed against each other. One warrior had the
desire to spread fear, and destruction to the ends of the earth,
the other had only two things on his mind vengeance, and a
burning hatred. Thus the battle of the century began. Link
attacked with a jumping slash. The Great Moblin blocked it with
his mythril shield, and countered with a jab towards Links head.
Link performed a counter-jump attack, breaking through the GM’s
helmet. Blood was running down the Great Moblins face. He let
out an enraged roar, and charged Link. Link had no time to move
out of the way, and barely got his mirror shield up in time.
Link felt the impact, and it felt like a ton of bricks even with
the mirror shield. Link was sent hurling through the wall,
through Zunari’ s shop, and into Salvatore’s shop wall. Link was
getting a little dizzy but shook it off. The Great Moblin was
charging towards him. If I get hit again thought Link I’m
history. Link pulled out his hook shot, and fired into the sign
above Zunari’ s shop, then to the top of the ladder behind
Salvatore’ s shop. Then the Great Moblin crashed into the brick
wall where Link used to be.
Damn thought the Great Moblin, he was seeing stars, and was
really starting to feel the slashes covering his body. {Dumber
creatures take longer to feel pain.} I feel like I was stampeded
over by Molgera he mumbled. That’s not all you’ll be feeling be
feeling you murderer said a distant sounding voice then he felt
a searing pain in his heart.
Link had unloaded a light arrow into the Great Moblins heart.
Then suddenly he ripped it out with green blood steadily coming
out of the hole in his heart. Link jumped down performing the
attack he’d used to finish off Gannon on the GM’s shield
instantly smashing it to pieces. Link started forcing the Great
Moblin back to the edge of the cliff where Tot used to dance.
The Moblin was backed up to the edge of the cliff. He looked
down, and saw his army was down to 3 Darknuts. He looked up, and
pleaded Link don’ t kill me. Link had no signs of mercy in his
eyes, and continued to advance. Link was upon the Great Moblin,
and knocked him off the cliff with the Great Moblin barely
catching the edge of the cliff. Then the GM begged, please one
last wish. Ok said Link, I wish you would go to Hell, and tell
Gannon you failed then he swung the Master Sword through the
Great Moblins fingers, and he slowly fell into the ocean. This
alone did not kill him but soon Gyorgs came, and tore him to
pieces. Finally the battle was over.
Aftermath
When the army had reassembled, and counted up the dead, the army
of 1,300,000 was reduced to 70,000 with almost all the koroks,
and horses dead, 19,968, and the rest were Ritos. The Great Sea
was saved but at what cost? Go on ->
Sunday 8 a.m.
A tombstone was placed in front of the cliff where the Great
Moblin died. However this was not for him oh no. A single figure
in green could be seen placing flowers down in front of the
grave, and walking away. Who was this grave made for? Here’s
what it said.
HERE LIES ARYLL FROM FEBUARY 18 2001 TO SEPTEMBER 26 2004.
The End
