Jake blinked a little as one the smaller boy started writing in the ground and explained why he thought they should head west. The tall blonde boy simply gave a soft nod in agreement, along with Eden's comment on a smart observation. However, it was not too long until the ground shook indicating what felt like a earthquake. Eden pulled both Alex and Karin out of the way, while Jake grabbed Pagumon and leapt out of the way. Looking up, his eyes widened at the sight of the very large creature with a drill for a nose.

Pagumon growled a bit as she glared at the Digimon. [b]"It's Drimogemon! Odd it's usually pretty shy."[/b] she spat before glaring toward Tsunomon and his partner. [b]"Glad to see you're so eager to die already."[/b] she said sarcastically but her ears flickered as she attempted to get out Jake's hands and fight as well. [b]"But if it's a fight, I don't mind showing you up!"[/b] she smirked though frowned when Jake set her down, away from the chaos.

Frowning as he watched the either brave or idiotic duo seemed prepared to fight this full grown creature, he looked toward Pagumon. [b]"I don't want you or the others hurt, so take them to safety."[/b] he said gently, barely audible even to Pagumon.

[b]"Well then we should fight!"[/b] Pagumon chirped.

[b]"I rather not. Fighting doesn't solve everything, and it shouldn't be the default option especially when we don't know what's going on."[/b] Jake replied softly.

[b]"Bah! I got stuck with a pacifist!?"[/b] Pagumon whined irritably.

Glancing toward the black haired man who had run for a weapon, leaving the brave little Digimon to fight.

Standing as the large purple creature made a minor hiss at the bubbles blasted in its eyes, it gave a fearsome roaring cry. [b]"Screw Claw!"[/b] it cried, rearing up and its forepaws sweeping toward Tsunomon, its claws buzzing like drills.

Jake didn't even blink a eye as he dashed right for the courageous individual. His long athletic legs swiftly getting to them. The blonde boy instantly swooped his right arm to catch Tsunomon. Practically throwing the small round horned digimon out of the way as the drills dived into the earth, spraying chunks of earth, one large rock the size of a fist hitting right against his waist and knocking the boy into a tree. Jake fell to the ground on his side, holding it painfully from where the brunt of the blow was.

[b]"Jake!"[/b] Pagumon shouted, flying over to him quickly to examine him before glaring at Drimogemon and flying above and breathing in and spraying bubbles against the champion digimon.
