DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON OR ANY OTHER ANIME.



The Digital Guardian


The team was still looking for the rest of their crests. The only crests that remained were those that
belonged to TK and Sora. "When do you think we'll find our crests Matt?" asked the troubled
little 8-year-old. "I don't know TK but I hope it's soon." Replied his older brother, Matt.
It was getting dark in the wide open desert making the hot dry temperature cool down
much to everyone's relief. Since it was getting dark the team decided that it was time for some
rest. "I'll do first watch," said Tai as they were deciding who was going on guard duty for the
night. TK got up and asked, "Can I be on watch next?". Much to his disappointment Matt stood
up and yelled, "No TK your too young!" TK wouldn't give up, "But Matt I'm a member of the
team too." Replied TK much to Matt's amazement; "I said you're too young and you need your
sleep, and that's final!" yelled Matt again at TK who now had tears in his eyes. "Why doesn't Matt
treat me like a team member? I've been here just as long as him." Thought TK. Defeated, TK
walked over to the digimon and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Around 10:00pm Tai felt the ground starting to shake. He slipped his mini telescope out of
his short's pocket and saw a giant herd of digimon heading strait for them. Quickly, he woke up
everyone and told them of the digimon heading their way. Since they were out numbered they all
agreed to run back to a safer location, but unknown to them was that Etemon's troops had all ready
spotted them.
They started to run but soon realized that Etemon's army was following their footprints in
the sand. They kept running, and after an hour of running they saw something that they never
thought they would see in quite a while. It was Piximon's jungle home! They ran in and told
Piximon of what was on the way. Piximon then told them, "I'll help yea, yep, yep. You kids take
care of the monochomon and I'll take the tyrannamon."
They all ran back towards the evil digimon and started making fun of the monochomon to
get them to follow the digidestands, splitting them up from the tyrannamon. Slowly, by splitting
the giant army there were 3 small groups of monochomon and one medium sized group of
tyrannamon. The digidestands also split up to keep the groups of digimon from coming back
together. Tai, Matt and TK were in one group, Sora and Mimi in another, and Joe and Izzy in the
third.
Tai's group ran off towards a ravine hoping to be able to push some of the monochomon
into the raging river below. The monochomon however were much smarter than the other
monochomon that pull Etemon's studio around Server. One of the monochomon cut around a
steep hill and hid close to the mouth of the ravine waiting for the digidestands. Matt pushed TK
ahead of him hoping to keep him away from the Volcanic Strike attack caused by the
monochomon. The group finally got to the ravine but then all of a sudden the hidden monochomon
lunged out of his hiding place tackling TK and pushing him into the raging river inside the deep
dark ravine.
