Chapter 1

Sir Pheonix wright was sweating slightly. There were more people there than he had expected. The Von Karmas were terrifiying dammit. Come to think of it, maybe thats why there were so many people here to day. Being prince Miles personal bodyguard was almost an invitation to do as he pleased. Actually, he should have realized that he would have some serious competition unless Miles recognized him. He remembered what had happened on the first day of school.
Miles had been introduced as Miles Gregory Von Karma, of the most noble lines of Von Karma and Edgeworth. Everybody had avoided him until breaktime, scared to approach him in case he liked to chop heads. Pheonix was the first person to greet him, and they had been firm friends until Miles was taked away for princely training
Shaking himself back to the present, Pheonix marched on to the courtyard of Castle Edgeworth.
The inside of the courtyard was full of hopeful knights wanting the priveleges they all knew they would get if they were chosen. A fanfare inturupted his thoughts, and all at once everyone looked up, then bowed. Standing up again, he scrutinized the balcony. There was Miles on the left of his father. Manfred von Karma was a tall, intimidating man. He swept his eyes over the courtyard and turned to his right, where his Queen, Gregory Edgeworth stood. They spoke quietly, but were inturupted by the arrival of a young girl, about 19 years of age, holding a whip. She wispered something in her father's ear, then went to talk to Miles.
Pheonix smiled at the picture they made, then realized that everyone had moved to the middle of the courtyard, where an arena had been placed.

Chapter 2


Miles watched the knights in the courtyard of the castle and sighed. He didn't see why he needed a bodyguard. His father noticed and quietly said "Miles, I Know you're a good, fighter, but you can't defend yourself alone all the time." "Don't worry Miles. You get to choose" Gregory added. Then, he felt a tug on his shirt. "Brother, Sir Porcupine looks promising." To humor his sister, he glanced over at the arena. And froze up.


Pheonix was bored. All of the other knights were terrible. There were only a few that he thought were good. Von Karma evidently agreed. He was making a motion with his thumb and forefinger. Most likely saying "I am this close to banging my head on the wall"


"I am this close to banging my head on the wall"Manfred hissed to his husband. Gregory sighed. "Maybe if you stopped being so terrifying..." he suggested. "There are only a few knights out of this whole lot who seem even semi-competent" "Narrow it down"Gregory suggested.


Miles was startled as his father stood up and said "The following people leave please. Richard Gumshoe, Maggey Bryde, Mike Meekins and Angle Starr" There were groans of "Come on, Pal" "But sir!" "I'M DYING OVER HERE SIIIRRR" and "Lunch?"


Chapter 3

Slowly, the contestants were eleminated. Richard Wellington, Matt Enguarde, Misty fey, Mia fey, Will Powers, the Skyes, the Gavin Brothers, Apollo Justice, Magnifi, then Zac, then Valant, then Thalassa Gramarye, Until finally the only ones left were he, Godot, formerly known as Diego Armando, and Pheonix Trite, the bane of his existence. He was confident that he would win against his long time rival. And then.."GO".

He And Trite started circling each other, each looking for weaknesses, then they stopped. They watched each other for a while, then he charged at Trite, who dodged, pivioted, then struck with the flat of his sword. He stumbled forward. They exchanged blows for a while, then he managed to disarm Trite. He stepped forward to make the man concede defeat, but his opponent somehow managed to grab his shoulder and trap his sword between their bodies. They wrestled for a while, but then they were stopped.

The royal family had decided, Von Karma stepped forward and announced "Enough. We have decided. Prince Mile's new Bodyguard is..." he smiled, certain Von Karma had chosen him " Sir Pheonix Wright" WHAT?! They had chosen Trite over him? Impossible. He realized he had spoken out loud when Edgeworth leaned over and said "Oh I assure you, Sir Armando, that is entirely possible." As Trite was carried away by the screaming crowd, Godot shook with repressed rage and hatred. He would get his revenge for this. Trite would pay.

This is a great start. Um...That last scene took me a couple reads before I could follow it.

i've got to say the same thing. once you know what it's about it's better, but you need to introduce what's actually going on first.

---

Ack! Sorry, I'll clarify things a little. Basicaly, Nick Is a knight, and Miles is a prince. His father and his dad both want him to have a bodyguard, just in case.
