The Chocobo Riders

The leader of the mountain bandits, Beardy, looked at the two young boys swinging at his chocobo's head with their long swords and gave a devious smile.

He could tell that these two brave little kids didn't have any experience clashing with mounted troops.

When faced with a chocobo swarm, true veterans would always target the chocobo's legs first, since most military used chocobos had protective gear on the chocobo's head and chest, and it was hard to hit the bird's neck as it was retracted in its thick feathered cut.

If you tried attacking a rampaging chocobo's head, you would either get knocked flying from a chocobo headbutt, or get trampled to death by the stampede, there wasn't a third option.

But then the impossible happened.
