Kazero suddenly felt the ground beneath him quiver and he wobbled and dropped to the ground. At the same time he heard a distinct, alarming, booming sound from the distance. It struck his ears like a heavy, low firework exploding prematurely. Tsunomon gasped as the event played out, pausing to shudder at the sound. He composed himself swiftly and began to hop with a faster pace and with greater strides. Kazero scrambled as quickly as he could back to his feet, following behind as hurriedly as his feet could against the uneven, root-covered ground. 

[color=92278f]"W-w-wait!"[/color] Kazero called concernedly. [color=92278f]"What happened!?"[/color] he asked, understanding that it couldn't be good.

[color=00a99d]"I obviously have no idea! That's why I'm heading in that direction!"[/color] snapped Tsunomon.

[color=92278f]"We're moving [i]TOWARDS[/i] that sound?!"[/color] griped an alarmed Kazero.

[color=00a99d]"Then stay behind! A Fight means the other digidestined must be there. They are heading to the rebel hideout and probably have been cornered by pursuers... and I've wasted enough time babysitting you after having to retrieve you from the beach!"[/color] explained Tsunomon, talking allowed.

[color=92278f]"Okay then! Let's go help!"[/color] replied Kazero, gritting his teeth and settling his trembling heart.

[color=00a99d]"What 'us'? There is no 'us'."[/color] replied Tsunomon, finding that particular remark so annoying that he turned to Kazero to refute him.

[color=92278f]"You said something about putting your power in this Digi-thing to save Kamina from the Devil thing-"[/color]

[color=00a99d]"Digi[i]power[/i], Digi[i]vice[/i], Devi[i]mon[/i],"[/color] quipped Tsunomon sharply.

[color=92278f]"Okay-okay! Point is, you inadvertently saved me too as well as Kamina. I owe you one. He owes you one. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye if you and your people were in trouble and I didn't see it through."[/color]

[color=00a99d]"This is a war between digimon! There is no place for civilians! You'll wind up doing nothing helpful and just get yourself killed[/color]!" barked Tsunomon.

[color=92278f]"Maybe, but if I don't come along, there's absolutely zero chance I can be helpful. And the fact is, you're not 100% if you haven't got your power back, I can figure that much out."[/color] explained Kazero, being calm and mellow even in the face of Tsunomon's putdowns.
