Digimon: The Darkness of Pride (Book 1)

Chapter 3- "Garurumon"

Episode 3- “Garurumon”

Venturing off from the beach, the group stood up on the cliff that over looked the beach and waited on Tai as he stared out at the ocean.

"Yo, Agumon." Tai called.

"What is it, Tai?" Agumon walked over to him.

"I like it when you're Greymon. No offence, but, why don't you just stay that way?" Tai asked.

"I can't." Agumon said as Tai huffed and crossed his arms as he turned to look out over the beach.

"But even super heroes need a rest." Agumon said stunning Tai as he started to fall forward and Agumon grabbed onto his shorts causing the group to start laughing.

Tai started flailing his arms about making everyone laugh at the silly sight, but were stopped when they heard a creature roaring.

The boulders behind then were shattered by a black and white triceratops that broke through with the hard armor on his head and horn.

"Oh, come on. Another one?" Kol said glaring at it in annoyance.

They had only been in this strange place for a few hours and this was the third Digimon that had attacked them today.

"Who's that Digimon?" Izzy asked.

"It's a Monochromon, but don't worry about him. He's a laid back Digimon." Tentomon assured.

The dinosaur then growled at the group making them tense up, especially at the sight of the large sharp teeth it had.

"Though, I suppose it is wise to take caution. They tend to get quite miffed when they're hungry." Tentomon amended.

"Then he must be starving because he looks really mad." Tai said.

"And I think he wants to eat us!" Serena cried.

Monochromon's green eyes stared at something behind the group as he roared making everyone turn to see a second Monochromon step out from behind the boulders.

"There's two of them!" Joe exclaimed.

"We're caught between a rock and two sets of teeth." Matt said.

"Run!" Tai yelled as he ran behind the rocks, the group following after him as the two triceratops charged at each other.

Their horns clanged together and then they backed up, looking for weak points as the second Monochormon whipped his tail at the rocks and sent it flying into the first Monochromon's face.

"Something must have set those Monochromon off." Tai looked out from behind the rocks.

"They're fighting over territory." Leormon said as one Monochromon bit the other in the tail.

"They can just have it then." Palmon declared as she turned and ran off into the forest.

"Hey, don't leave without me!" Mimi chased after her as the group followed.

"They definitely don't need us hanging around." Tai panted.

As they ran through the forest, TK tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground causing Serena to trip over him, making Matt stop when he hears them yelp.

"TK, Serena, come on." Matt kneeled beside them.

Kol turned back and ran over to the two boys and girl, Leormon pausing as he looked over his shoulder to see what her partner was doing.

The black haired boy stopped in front of the three blondes making them look up at him.

"Come on guys, we need to go." he said.
