Chapter 4: Agunimon's First Battle!

The morning came a lot faster than the king had hoped for. It was true that Ancient Greymon wants his son, Prince Takuya to learn the ways of fighting – and what better way to learn this but through first hand experience, but a father cannot help but worry about his son now can he?

Everyone in the castle was already awake, save one. A brown-haired youth still sleeping soundly at his own room. Yes, Takuya Kanbara was still asleep. But one can expect it of him, transforming and losing control over the instincts of a beast spirit can be draining especially to a boy his age who is not yet fully accustomed to fighting – even if he had been trained to do so throughout his youth. But Takuya was not to sleep in that day, he has a more important thing to do – begin his journey to Ophanimon's Castle. It was because of this that the king of the Fire Colony asked his adviser to awaken the young prince...and this is where our episode for today starts...

"Prince Takuya," A small voice called as he tried to shake the young prince awake, "Prince Takuya, please wake up...if you don't you will be late for your departure to Ophanimon's Castle."

Takuya did not woke up however, he just mumbled something that the small adviser could not understand and faced the other way around.

"Prince Takuya," the adviser repeated, "Please wake up! This is no time for you to sleep in!"

Still the young prince did not wake up.

"I am really sorry that I have to do this, Prince." The adviser said, "But you leave me with no other choice! BOKO SLAM!!!"

And with that, the small adviser to the king of the colony of flames jumped up and landed hard on the stomach of the young prince. This caused the young prince to wake up with a shout.

"OKAY!" Exclaimed Takuya as he sat up, "I'M AWAKE!"

"That's a lot better." Said the digimon adviser.

"Bokomon, you do know there are other ways to wake a person up other than hitting their stomach with your technique." Takuya said as he jumped down his bed, "You better have a good reason for waking me up so early in the morning."

"As a matter of fact, your majesty," Bokomon replied, "I do have a good reason for waking you up. If his highness have forgotten already, you must prepare yourself for your journey to the castle of Ophanimon before the clock strikes 8 am – which will be the time when you need to depart for the said castle."

"Oh, yeah." Takuya remembered, "I totally forgot about the whole journey thing...what time is it Bokomon?"

"An hour before your departure, Prince Takuya." The digimon replied.

"WHAT!?" Takuya exclaimed, "I don't have any time left to prepare my things!"

"No need to worry about that, prince." Bokomon said, "I took the liberty of preparing the stuff that you will need on your journey."

"You did?" Asked the prince.

Bokomon nodded.

"Thanks a lot, Bokomon." The prince said, "But I would have to ask you to leave for a second while I get dressed."

"Of course, Prince Takuya." The adviser, Bokomon said as he walked out of Takuya's huge oaken doors.

Twenty minutes have passed since Takuya woke up. He had finally finished dressing himself up. For this adventure, he decided not to go with his princely garments and instead he wore the casual warriors clothing. Red shirt which was slightly hidden behind his chest plate which has the crest of the royal family of the Fire Colony, black pant with the same mythril armor, kneepads, a circlet around his head and he was also wearing the Chambara Sword which was given to him by his old man. After dressing up, Takuya began to head towards the Dining hall where Ancient Greymon and his master, Tai was waiting for him.

It took him five more minutes after he arrived at the dining hall to finish his food while he was given last minute battle tips by both his father and his master. After which, Takuya head back to his room to pick his things up and returned to the entrance hall.

It was not a custom in their colony to see a warrior – much more a prince – off towards an adventure or journey. It was their belief that one should only do that if they feel like the warrior would not return alive. So, when Takuya left for Ophanimon's Castle, he neither said goodbye to his loved ones but he was not also escorted out of the colony like they do in other colonies (like the capital of the kingdom of light, Lightweld).

"I guess this is the point where I can't turn back." Takuya thought as he faced the entrance to the Fire Colony, which for him at that time would be the exit to his home and the entrance towards his so-called adventure.

Sighing as he went past the entrance, Takuya decided not to digi-volve to Burning Greymon until he felt the need to do so. To pick up his pace in walking, Takuya digi-volved into Agunimon who was a lot faster than his normal human self.

"At the rate I'm going," Agunimon muttered to himself, "I would arrive at the castle before nightfall...unless I encounter some enemies along the way."

And Agunimon continued to run at a very fast pace. As he arrived the forest of flames, Agunimon began to jump from one tree branch to another making it a lot more faster to reach the other side of the forest an hour and a half later.

Nothing eventful happen along Agunimon's way – except when he stopped to rest and dedigi-volved back into Takuya to eat. Apart from that, nothing did happen...that was until it was three hours past noon, when Takuya arrived at the Valley of Flames...

"It's too quiet here." Agunimon thought to himself, "I better be careful and not let my guard down."

And he was right on thinking that, for a couple of seconds later, a large three-headed black hound digimon jumped from out of the flames on Agunimon's right.

"Well, well, what'd you know," The digimon said, "I was just planning on hiding here and waiting for the Colony Police to pass by but I instead meet up with one of the most important people of this colony."

"And I was expecting to get to my destination without any problems," Said Agunimon as he readied himself for a battle, "But instead, I run into one of the most wanted digimon in the land...talk about luck."

"I am flattered that you know who I am, prince." The digimon said mocking, "But flattery won't get you anywhere away from losing this battle."

"I'm not flattering you Cerberusmon." Agunimon said as he punched his fist together creating a whirl of flames, "And I have no plans what-so-ever to be defeated by a bandit such as yourself! BURNING SALAMANDER!!!"

And the battle between the prince and the outlaw began. Agunimon's initial attack was not easily dodged by Cerberusmon causing him some heavy damage. But Cerberusmon does not plan on going down easy. He quickly countered with an attack of his own.

"MADDOG FIRE!" Cerberusmon countered.

At this, Agunimon was sent flying towards the other side of the battle field. "Darn! I wasn't careful enough."

"Is that the best you could do, Prince Takuya?" the bandit asked, "You're pretty pathetic for a prince."

"Say what?" Agunimon asked as he stood up and faced Cerberusmon.

"Who taught you how to fight? The palace servants?" Cerberusmon taunted, "You are not fit to be called 'The Prince of Fire Colony'. You're nothing but a weakling."

"A weakling?" Agunimon asked gritting his teeth.

"Yes, a weakling." Cerberusmon repeated getting ready for what he thinks would be his final attack, "And after I dispose of you, I will dispose of your father and I will become the new leader of Flame Colony!"

"Don't make me laugh!" Exclaimed Agunimon, fire burning in his eyes, "You're the one who's pathetic. I'll show you what I could do, PYRO TORNADO!"

"We'll see about that, INFERNO GATE!!!"

As the two attacks met, a huge explosion occurred.

"I'm impressed," Cerberusmon said as he shielded his eyes from the dust that was blown off by the collision of their attacks, "You're as strong as I am."

"Don't degrade me!" Agunimon shouted as he appeared from out of the smoke and attacked, "BURNING SALAMANDER!!!!"

"NO!!!" Exclaimed the bandit as his digicode began to appear.

"Corrupt evil spirit," Agunimon said as he began to suck in the digi-code using his D-Tector, "You shall be purified with this Digivice! Digi-code! Capture!
