The Digital Kingdom: A Digimon Fantasy Tale
Chapter One Save the Princess!

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess dreamed of a handsome prince who would marry her and take her far far away. This princess was known as Princess Mimi, daughter of King Gennai. Princess Mimi was thinking of her "knight in shining armor" when she heard a Megadramon roar through the land. She peered out her window to find a young man in purple glasses staring back at her, atop his Megadramon.
"You're coming with me, Princess," the stranger said, as he grabbed the Princess Mimi, and rode off, leaving a scrap of paper behind.
The next morning, a Gekomon walked in to the Princess' room to bring her breakfast, when he saw that she was no where to be found. He picked up the piece of paper on the ground and immediately ran to the King's throne room. He was so out of breath, he just handed the paper to the King and passed out.
"What is this?" asked the King as he started to read. He gasped, and crumpled the paper in his hand. "Why...why would the evil, devious, disgusting, and vile Kaizer Ken steal my precious daughter?! GUARDS!!!"
The Guardromon hurried to the King's aid.
"Guardromon, send this ad to the Digtital Times! Make sure they put it into the Wanted Ads, so that I may hire a knight to save my daughter!"
"YES SIR!!!" As the Guardromon left, Jou, the King's most loyal young servant, overheard the predicament. He rushed into the throne room, and bowed before the king.
"Please, your majesty, allow me to save Princess Mimi."
"Jou, this is no time for heroics from you. Why, you barely know the swordsplay needed to save a Princess, so I must decline."
"But your majesty!" King Gennai looked at Jou's sincere eyes and promised that when a knight comes to offer his help, that Jou would be able to go along to assist him.
"I accept, your majesty. Thank you." Jou ran off, to pack his things.
It was two days until a young brave knight by the name of Yamato Ishida, offered his help to the king.
"I have come to save the Princess Mimi, your majesty, King Gennai. I noticed your ad in the Digital Times, and knew it was my duty to help."
"I accept your help, Sir Yamato. Please take Jou, as your assistant. He can carry your things on your journey. I trust you already know what you must do."
"Yes, your majesty. Come along, Jou."
They started off on their journey. Jou was made to carry all of Yamato's belongings and bits (their currency) on their long travel. Jou thought only of how much he wanted to save the Princess, and not how much luggage he had to carry.
"So Jou, what does the Princess Mimi look like? Is she hot?"
Jou gave Yamato a cross look, and almost purposely dropped all of Yamato's things for speaking of the Princess so lightly, but he answered politely instead.
"She is always seen wearing pink, and she's pure and kind."
"Really? I've heard that Princess Mimi was a brat who whines and cries. She spoiled and a baby, but on the other hand I've heard she's a babe."
"Grr..." growled Jou as he tightened his grip on the strap he held onto, crouching with the heavy things on his back.
Yamato signalled for Jou to stop, as he saw a young man walking toward them. The young man had wild brown hair, and a particular smile about him. Yamato turned in front of him.
"Halt! Who goes there?!" demanded Yamato.
"Huh? Who me?" asked the confused young man.
"Yeah you, who else?!" said Yamato, now agitated.
"I am Sir Taichi, on my way to the Kaizer Ken's floating fortress to save my sister Hikari."
"Hey, we were travelling the same way," said Jou, "why don't you come along with us?"
"No way, this guy's an idiot. He going the opposite way of us, and he seems like a loose cannon. We can't have someone like that travel with us!"
"Just who are you calling an idiot, Mister Big-Shot?!"
Yamato pushed Taichi and they began to punch at eachother and fight. Jou tried to stop their quarreling, but they refused to listen. As they rolled down a hill, still locked in their fighting, a Kuwagamon popped out of the woods to frighten them. Yamato and Taichi didn't even notice it, and continued their fighting.
"Rawr!!! Umm...RAWWWRRR!!! Hey, you two, I said RAWR!!!"
"Buzz off Kuwagamon, can't you see we're in the middle of something?"
"Umm..." A sweatdrop fell down Kuwagamon's head as he watched Taichi and Yamato exchange blows and curses. Finally, Jou pulled them away from eachother.
"Will you two knock it off? This Kuwagamon's our ticket for experience points and bits!"
"Uh, yeah, what glasses said," commented the Kuwagamon.
Yamato and Taichi dusted themselves off and finally paid attention to Kuwagamon, who was reading a newspaper on a stump.
"Well, I think their ready to fight you, Mr. Kuwagamon," said Jou.
"Hm...oh? Right." Kuwagamon roared and Yamato and Taichi unsheathed their swords, prepared for battle. After a few blows were given from both sides, Yamato got into a special stance and got ready for his ultimate sword techinique.
"Ishida Special...Howling..SWORD!!!" He drew a sword blast and defeated the Kuwagamon.
"Yeah! We gained 150 experience points and 2000 bits from him!" yelled Taichi.
"Hey, I'm the hero, that's my line!" argued Yamato.
"You two, quit!!!" scolded Jou.
"Are they gonna be okay?" asked the injured Kuwagamon.
"They'll be fine...I hope. Thanks for the experience and bits," said Jou, as he shook Kuwagamon's hand.
"Yeah, my only part in this story. Oh yeah, here's a little something for you." The Kuwagamon handed Jou a Purity Amulet.
"What's this for? I can't take this."
"Your the...oh, never mind. Anyways, take it for your help with those two." With that said, the Kuwagamon walked off. Finally, Taichi handed Jou his things.
"Yamato said your the one carrying the things. So here's mine."
"Oh...gee thanks. I'm so privileged."
They travelled farther in the wood, finally resting to camp as the day got darker. Yamato put up a tent and got ready to sleep.
"Um, where am I going to sleep?" asked Jou.
"You're going to stay out here and be on watch. Taichi and I will share the tent."
"But aren't you two gonna fight and such?"
"Nah, we'll be fine. G'night Jou."
"Yeah, goodnight."
Jou sighed and bundled himself up into his sleeping bag, keeping the fire burning as he stayed watch. He looked up into the starry sky, and thought of the Princess. How Jou wished he were the hero coming to save her. At first, he wanted to go off alone to save her, leaving Yamato and Taichi behind...but Jou didn't have the experience and equipment to do it. So, he just sat there thinking of Mimi...the Princess of his dreams.
Meanwhile, in Kaizer Ken's floating palace...
"You let me go right now, you big meanie!!! Or else!" yelled Princess Mimi, as she stomped her foot on the ground.
"Or else what, little girl?"
"Little?! LITTLE?! I'll have you know that I...I..."
"You...?"
"I don't know."
"Ha! Throw her in the dungeon, Nanimon! And this girl too." Kaizer Ken brought out a commoner girl, struggling to break free from another Nanimon's grip.
"This one is mine, so be nice to her," said Kaizer Ken as he lifted the girl's chin and stared into her eyes. The girl spit on is face and stomped in his foot. Princess Mimi laughed.
"She showed you!"
"Put them away!!!" yelled Ken, as he grabbed his foot, jumping up and down.
Princess Mimi and the girl were thrown in the dungeon. The girl clung onto Mimi, scared by the Nanimon's looks.
"Leave us alone! You're scaring her."
The Nanimon scoffed, and walked off, leaving them shivering in the dark cold dungeon cell.
"You were really brave to do that to the Kaizer...what's your name?"
"Hikari..."
"I'm Princess Mimi."
Silence was all that was heard for a few moments, until Hikari finally spoke.
"Princess Mimi?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think we'll ever get out of this place?"
"Of course...a knight in shining armor will come to our rescue, just you wait and see..."
They both peered out into the starry sky...hoping they'd be rescued soon.
