Amaya walked calmly beside Matt near the front of the group, directly behind Tai, as they circled the island along the beach. They had gone almost all the away round the island and hadn't seen any more signs of any sort of civilization. As they had walked Amaya would occasionally offer the other children water from her canteens and small amounts of food, such as granola bars, she hadn't had time to clean the water yet, but unclean water was better than no water and they needed to keep their strength up. She could feel the agitation within the other children at their continued lack of success. The digimon were quite calm about everything, but Amaya would guess that their attitude was due to the fact they had no real need to find any humans, they were content with just their partners. Amaya wondered if they truly realized that if the children found other humans that they may be leaving to go back to their own world.
"We've almost searched the whole island and we still haven't found any people," Tai grumbled "Just some monsters with attitude..." Tai was standing at the edge of a cliff where they had stopped for a break, staring out at the sea with all the others standing behind him.
"Yo, Agumon," Tai called
"What is it Tai?" Agumon asked, going up to Tai.
"I like you when you're Greymon," said Tai "No offense, but why don't you just stay that way?"
"I can't," Agumon explained
"Hm," Tai turned to face the sea gain, crossing his arms
"But even super heroes need a rest," said Agumon causing Tai to startle and almost fall off the cliff, but Agumon caught him and pulled him back. Sora, Joe, and Izzy all chuckled at how silly Tai looked. Suddenly a loud roar came from behind them, causing them all to spin around to see what it was. A large dinosaur-like digimon with hard black armor on its back, head, knees, claws, a large bony frill, and a large horn on his nose came charging out, crashing through a wall of rock.
"Who's that digimon?" Izzy asked
"It's a monochromon. But don't worry bout him, he's a laid back digimon," Tentomon reassured as monochromon roared "Although it is wise to be a bit cautious with a monochromon, they do tend to get a bit miffed when they're hungry."
"Then he must be starving," said Tai as the monochromon made its way towards them "cause he looks really mad."
"And I think he wants to eat us!" Mimi cried. Then another roar from behind them made them turn around to find another monochromon coming at them from the other side.
"There are two of them!" Joe cried
"We're caught between a rock and two sets of teeth!" Matt was exactly right; on one side was a monochromon, same on the other, and at their back was a large rock blocking their path to escape. One of the monochromons roared again and Tai led the way back behind the large rock in an attempt to get out of the way of the angry digimon. They moved just in time, the monochromon charged each other, crashing their horns together. The kids and their digimon hid behind the large rocks but it didn't seem to be too safe there either, since the monochromon were crushing them with their tails and flinging them at each other.
"Something must have set those monochromon off," said Tai, peeking around the rock.
"They're fighting over territory," Tentomon explained
"They can just have it then," said Palmon before turning and running away from where the two digimon were fighting.
"Hey," Mimi called, running after her partner "Don't leave without me!" Everyone else ran after them with Matt and Amaya at the back.
"They definitely don't need us hanging around," Tai agreed. They could hear the monochromon crashing into each other behind them, making them run faster. T.K. Tripped in and fell in front of Matt and Amaya.
"T.K.!" Matt cried, stopping to help him up "Come on!"
""Better hurry up you guys," Tai called back.
"K, we're coming" T.K. called as he got back up and kept running, not even looking at Matt. Amaya felt the sharp sting of pain and confusion go through Matt at his little brother's dismissal so she moved closer to him and placed her hand on his arm. He turned and gave her a small smile before they started running again. From behind them they could hear more loud roaring before a large splash, but they didn't stop running for a while afterwards.
