Chapter 3 is up, please read and review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon
As the sun shined on the active village, Taichi and Agumon were walking along the main street following after Jou and Gomamon. The street was plenty wide, but they were surrounded by many digimon, all of them going in and out of shops that aligned the street.
All around them were buildings made of stones that could fit twenty tall digimon and smaller shopping tables that had digimon crowded around them wishing to see the merchandise.
As Taichi watched the other passengers in awe, Agumon had to constantly remind him to not get lost.
Despite Taichi's attempt to look at one of the tables for sword polish, the four of them managed to arrive at the entrance to Nume Castle. The castle looked like it was made of white stones that polished in the light. As Taichi approached the castle he saw a symbol resembling a pink flower that was painted on the front of the castle. The castle was surrounded by a tall white wall. The only ground entrance to the castle was a single door that was at the end of the street that Gomamon showed them. Stationed at each of the door's sides was a robotic digimon.
The digimon was a brownish-red robot that looked like it was made from a submarine. Each of them had a pair of red eyes that were watching Taichi and the others and they walked up to the door.
When they stopped in front of the door, Gomamon and Jou moved back to allow Taichi and Agumon to take the lead.
"Excuse me, can we go inside?" Taichi asked the two guards.
In response to Taichi's request, the two guards lifted their arms and readied their cannons.
scared by the guard's actions, Jou and Gomamon moved back behind Agumon, and Taichi pulled out his sword from his bag and pointed it at the guards.
"Wait! We were sent here by Leomon." Agumon said in a nervously fast voice.
"Leomon? Did the ladies send for a knight?" One of the guards asked the other.
"Don't know? Maybe?"
"Wait! Why would they need a knight? They have us!"
"Yeah. So it's either they're liars or our replacements."
"So either way. We should blow them up."
"What kind of logic is that?!" Jou asked them worried that he would die.
"Our kind you lying replacements!" One of the guards said angrily.
"Fine by me." Taichi said as he swung his sword at the knight to the left.
As the guard moved his arm to block the blade, the orange symbol on the blade began to shine. With amazing force the sword sliced through the robotic arm like it was nothing.
"What the?!" The de-armed guard said at the shock.
"Buddy!" The second guard yelled in uproar.
As the second guard prepared to attack Taichi, a fireball struck the guard in his eyes.
As the second guard yelled in pain, he swung his arms around trying to strike his attacker.
As Agumon avoided the swings, he took a big breath and released a second fire ball at the guard's eyes.
Before the fire could hit, a missile collided with the fireball. The impact from the missile blew the fireball out and released a shockwave that sent both Agumon and the second guard flying.
"What was that?" The second guard said still blinded from the first fireball.
"Sorry pal." The first guard said.
As the four of them fought, Gomamon and Jou watched in awe and fear from a safe distance from the fight.
"Jou, we got to help them!" Gomamon told Jou.
"Yeah, but. Those are the princess's guards. We might get in trouble." Jou said frightfully watching the fight.
"Jou!" Gomamon said still trying to convince Jou.
But before Jou could answer, the door to the castle opened and a young lady stepped out from the castle yard.
The girl had red hair that only reached to her neck. She wore a red dress that was tore a little past the hip revealing a pair of darker red pants. She also wore a strange knight's helmet on her head. "So the noise was caused by six idiots." The girl said angrily at the guards and the four travelers.
"Lady Sora, we can explain." The first guard tried to say.
"What! Lady Sora is here?" The second guard.
"What happened to you?" The girl Sora asked confused at the second guard's statement.
"I was blinded by a giant, evil dragon." The second guard explained.
Sora that looked down at Agumon and shook her head in disapproval.
"I want both of you to get out of those suits and report to the head guard now." Sora ordered the two guards.
Following the command, the hatch on the guard's chest opened up and two strange looking digimon stepped out. They looked like green slugs with long tongues. As the two digimon walked past Sora and through the open door, they began to whimper in fear from thought of the head guard.
With the two digimon gone, Sora this time stared at the other four. First Taichi, than Agumon, and finally Jou and Gomamon.
"Well, which ones are from Leomon?" Sora asked them.
"That would be us. Taichi and Agumon." Agumon answered quickly.
"Why were you fighting them?" Sora than asked.
"Well..." Agumon began but Taichi quickly interupted,
"They were idiots."
"While that's true, I heard Leomon's trainee's are well trained and can keep their cool." Sora replied looking at the damage the fight caused.
"Well we tried to stop them, but it got out of hand." Agumon told her nervously.
"Look helmet head, just take us to the princess." Taichi said annoyed at Sora's statement.
As she heard Taichi's a vein began to appear on Sora's forehead.
"Ok, first rule, it is Princess Hikari. Second rule, you will call me Lady Sora, and third..." Sora said. With her stop on 'third' she snapped her finger and a strong wind began to blow on Taichi and Agumon.
Startled at the wind, Taichi and Agumon looked up at the sky and saw to their surprise and giant orange bird flapping it's wings toward them.
As they stared at the bird in amazement, they gasped when they realized that the bird's body was covered in fire.
As Taichi stared, he was pulled on the ground as his left arm was pulled behind his back.
"Third rule is never insult my hat." Sora said as she held Taichi on the ground.
"Taichi!" Agumon, Gomamon, and Jou yelled shocked at Taichi's position.
As Sora stepped away from Taichi, she gave the thumbs up to the giant bird, and it than flew away toward the ground.
With his arm free, Taichi pulled himself up off the ground.
With eyes of distaste he stared at Sora.
"Where did you learn that?" Taichi asked her still showing anger in his eyes.
"Fourth rule, add 'please'." Sora said with a smile on her face.
Before Taichi could respond, a hand covered Taichi's mouth. As Taichi turned his eyes, he saw that it was Jou that silenced him.
"Sorry Taichi, but I think that's enough fighting." Jou said as he removed his hand.
"Now that you cooled off. Let's go meet the princess herself." Sora said as she walked through the door.
Following what Sora said, Agumon quickly followed and than Taichi walked through.
"Well Jou let's go fishing." Gomamon said cheerfully as he turned around away from the castle.
"Yeah I guess." Jou reluctantly said as he too turned around.
Before Jou could take a step, a hand pulled on the collar of his coat.
"Where are you going?" Taichi asked him.
"Well, you just wanted a guide, and we're not wanted in the castle." Jou told him.
"Nonsense, you two are totally wanted in here." Taichi said as he pulled Jou in through the door.
"Uh Jou. Hey!" Gomamon kept yelling as he watched Jou get pulled through the door.
"Oh well. Fishing can wait. I'm gonna be a knight!" Gomamon cheerfully said as he followed after them.
