"Digital Fantasy"

Taichi Kamiya lived a simple life, he was the sun of a Chocobo breeder and worked for his father. He studied the art of sword fighting like most sixteen year old boys did, he had unruly brown hair and deep brown eyes. So when his father asked him to take the latest Pedigree Chocobo Egg to the castle in his father's place, Tai was shocked to say the least. He had tried his best to smarten himself up, but he knew no matter how clean he was, he'd still look filthy to the Royal Family. He wasn't even sure he'd meet them, but rumor had it the King inspect all the Chocobo eggs himself to see if they were would grown into Chocobo's strong enough to be used by the Chocobo Knights. Tai was surprised to hear that the King could tell how a chocobo would grow just by looking at it's egg, that was a rare gift even among breeders.

As Tai made his way along the muddy path towards the castle he spotted Sora, he had known Sora since he was very young and cared for her deeply, she had red hair and the most stunning eyes Tai had ever seen. Not that he'd ever tell her that, it would mess there friendship up to badly if he admitted his feelings to her. Sora who's family owned a local shop, studied black magic as she would have to walk through the nearby forest to the town on the other side. The Forest was full of monsters, but they were all easily frightened off by a colorful light show, which Sora had repeatedly stated was a good thing, because even though she studied black magic Sora was always the type of person who would rather settle things without violence.

"Hi Taichi," Sora said waving to him, a basket of food in her other hand "Where are you going?"

"Hey Sora," Tai replied, smiling at her, "Sorry, I can't stop and talk today. I'm taking this Egg to the castle!"

"Your so lucky," Sora stated with a soft sigh, "If you see Princess Mimi, be sure to tell me what she's like!"

Tai rolled his eyes,

"She's a Princess, I seriously doubt there'll be much to tell. But for you; anything."

Sora smiled brightly at him as he walked past her.

"Thanks, Tai! You're the best!" She called to him,

"Yup... I know," Tai said softly, and grinned to himself.

He carried on walking, carefully cradling the Chocobo Egg in arm, until he reached the Castle gate. The two Dragoon's guarding the gate crossed there lances. The Dragoons were wearing full armor and a helmet shaped like a dragon's head, The helmet had glowing red eyes implanted into it.

"Halt!" The Guard on Tai's left said, "What is your business at the castle!"

"I am Taichi Kamiya, my father sent me with the latest Chocobo Egg." Tai exclaimed, as instructed.

"Oh," The guard to Tai's right said rather grumpily, "Yeah I recognize you, the Chocobo breeder's boy. Huh... who'd have thought you'd be finally getting in to the castle."

Tai looked at the ground embarrassed, when he had been younger, he had tried to sneak into the castle, he had even managed to climb over the fence thanks to some vines that were strong enough to support a boy of his age, he had climbed over the fence and landed right in the middle of a Chocobo Knight briefing. After that he had been promptly thrown back out of the gates.

Tai looked back up at them and grinned, shrugging some. The Guard on his right sighed and order the gates to be opened, and Tai strolled right past them.

"Keep up the good work, boys." He said, a cheeky grin on his face, then he turned back around, "Hey guys, where do I take thi..."

His sentence was cut off by the gates slamming shut on him, Tai frowned and shook his head.

"No sense of humor..." He grumbled to himself, then picking a random direction began walking.

Back outside the gates a group of creatures appeared around the corner of the castle wall, The leader watched as a young man enter the castle, then lifted an un-naturally long arm and held it out stretched.

"Half of you will go to the town and burn it to the ground, the rest will come with me. Ogremon will lead the attack on the castle, now GO!"

The army divided into half and the mysterious shadowed figure disappeared once more, a twisted grin visible as he did.

Meanwhile Tai had some how managed to find his way inside the castle itself, he sighed in defeat and sagged his shoulders, he was lost. He looked around, the only person he saw was a young man with blond hair. The young man was a dragoon, though he didn't have a helmet, it was obvious from the large lance he carried which had a wolf engraved on it.

"Hey buddy," Said Tai, "You know where the Chocobo Stables are, I'm hopelessly lost."

"First off my name is Yamato," The blond haired teen replied, " and yes, I do know where the Chocobo Stables are."

The two both stood their for awhile...Tai scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face.

"Well... are you going to tell me where they are, or do I have to keep guessing?" Asked Tai with a slightly irritated tone.

"Huh? Oh, right... sorry." Yamato replied, "Yeah... uh follow me."

The two walked down a hallway, (Tai was sure he had been down it before, but how the hell could anyone tell... everywhere looked the same in this place!) and Yamato became silent again, Tai looked to the the young Dragoon and studied his face a while.

"Ah," Tai said after awhile, "Girl troubles, I see."

"What? That's Ridiculous!" Yamato replied a little to suddenly, Tai looked at him skeptically,

"Ah-huh," was the only response he gave. "C'mon dude, chill... so what's the problem?"

Yamato remained quiet for awhile and Tai didn't push the matter any further, he did however begin counting to himself.

"She's way out of my league..." Yamato said

"one minute, huh..." Tai mumbled to himself, "Who is...?"

"The Princess," Yamato started to reply, but he was cut off,

"Monsters are inside the castle!" A Knight called out in panic, "We must save the...!"

Whatever the poor solider was about to say had been cut short by the sudden removal of his head, it rolled over towards Tai and Yamato who looked gravely at each other.

"You get out of here!" Snapped Yamato, taking up a fighting stance, "I must rescue the Princess!"

Tai cracked his knuckles, and took up a fighting stance next to Matt. The creatures that had killed the knight were green blobs with two beady eye stalks. How could they chop a guy's head off? Thought Tai gravely

"Yeah right, pal," Tai said shaking his head some, in a tone that indicated he wasn't as terrified as he felt "I'm coming too, I just need to reach that guy's sword."

The green creatures rushed towards the two teenagers and Yamato fought them off the best he could, whilst Tai slipped by, diving at the sword, grabbing it in mid-role and turning around, he rushed over to Yamato and helped him finish of the green monsters.

"I don't think those were the ones that killed him..." Yamato said thoughtfully,

"Well let's not stick around to find the one who did!" Exclaimed Tai, "Let's get the Princess and get out of here!"

Matt looked at him and nodded.

"Your right, let's go."

The pair walked along the corridors of the castle, Yamato taking point, but only because he knew the layout of the castle better then Tai, the pair had little resistance from the green blobs as they raced down the halls, suddenly Yamato stopped and Tai came crashing into the back of him. Yamato turned around and "shushed" Tai, he then carefully opened a large beautifully decorated wooden door which lead into a very bright pink bedroom. On the large four-poster bed a girl with brown hair was huddling her knees, her eyes were tear-stained and she was dressed in a beautiful pink and white dress, one the door opened the girls eyes fixed on it. She breathed a sigh of releaf when she saw Yamato enter, and glanced curiously at Taichi.

"Sir Yamato!" She called cheerfully as he carefully shut the door behind them. Tai leaned over casually,

"She is so in to you, dude." He whispered, Yamato blushed but didn't reply, instead he address the girl.

"Princess Mimi," Yamato said kneeling, "I must get you out of here, the castle is no longer safe."

Yamato and Tai walked over to the teenage princess and she backed away,

"Relax, Your Highness," Said Tai, "We're here to save you."

"No!" She whispered in a sharp voice, "I'm not leaving without my mother and father!"

Whatever Yamato was about to say was lost as the door exploded inwards. A green monster with large black horns and a club made from bone stood in the door frame.

"There you are you little brat!" It said with a snarl, "Now come here so I can finish off the royal family!"

Mimi gasped, her eyes filling up with tears once more as she covered her mouth. Tai snarled, placing the Chocobo Egg on the Princess' bed, which the Princess grabbed, hugging softly. Tai then took up a fighting stance next too Yamato, who looked at him in surprise.

"This isn't your fight," Yamato stated, "Why are you getting involved?"

"Because it's the right thing to do," Replied Tai simply

The creature laughed.

"You two twerps thing you can handle me? I'm Ogremon!" It roared

"Whatever, dude." Tai said, charging forward and slashing at Ogremon's chest. Ogremon snarled clutching at his chest whilst trying to slam his bone club into Taichi's skull, Tai dodged the blow mostly, but the Ogremon had managed to catch his shoulder, a loud crunch was heard and Tai, gritted his teeth in pain. Yamato thrust his lance into Ogremon's chest, followed by another attack from Tai. Ogremon roared.

"Hey, that hurt!" He snapped "Pummel Whack!"

Ogremon attacked Yamato, hurting him badly. Tai glanced around, the fight was going badly. He rushed over to the curtains and ripped one off, throwing it over Ogremon.

"C'mon!" He said, "We gotta get out of here."

Tai looked out of the window, it was a long way down, there was a large bush that would break their fall and a gigantic pond and the alternative was worse, especially since Ogremon had now been joined by several of the slimy-blob creatures.

Tai smashed the window and looked to Yamato.

"Matt!" He said, shorting the blond's name, "Grab the Princess, we gotta jump!"

Yamato looked at Tai and grabbed the sobbing princess, who was still clutching the Chocobo Egg. They leapt out of the window plunging towards the water, Ogremon rushed over to the window and snarled. Slamming his fist into a wall.

"Those kids are beginning to get on my nerves!" He grumbled "Don't just stand there! Spread out! Find the princess... and kill those two kids she's with!"

Chocobo's are large yellow flightless birds that are used as transport when tame.
