When Angemon began to talk and explain, Kazero was still looking around at the rest of the children and digimon present. He was etching their forms and shape to memory encase they were separated sometime in the future. If Tsunomon's original reaction to finding Kazero near the beach rather than Kamina was anything to go by, then it's possible that even humans in this digital world could be the enemy. While panning his gaze from the back of the council room everyone was gathered in, Kazero spotted Tsunomon's gaze locked onto the blue furred dog-looking digimon next to a kid similarly blue hair and clothes. Kazero could only think of one reason for Tsunomon to set his eyes upon another digimon in this group so intently. When Angemon explained that only 8 digidestined arrived thus far Kazero began to count the kids in the room. Before he could confirm the suspicion he had over Angemon's math, Tsunomon broke the silence.

[color=00a99d]"[b][i]Seven[/i][/b] digidestined."[/color] corrected Tsunomon. [color=00a99d]"I'm not sure specifically why, but my tamer's digivice brought his cousin into the digital world instead."[/color] Tsunomon looked to Kazero to explain himself, throwing Kazero into the limelight forcibly. Kazero looked at Tsunomon wide-eyed and now heavily self conscious.

[color=92278f]"Err... okay. So - my name is Kazero. You can call me Zero.... or don't, it's cool. I was in the real world with my cousin. We were being attacked by a digimon,"[/color] Kazero paused to glance at Tsunomon's face to more accurately recall their prior conversations. [color=92278f]"A Devimon. The light came from the sky, carrying the digivice. We were attacked and the digivice attempted to shield us. I got knocked into a river with the digivice and then woke up in your world. I'm sorry about the mix up, but I think my cousin is hurt in the real world. You said something about Digiyears. Tsunomon was explaining that time in the digital world is different to that of the real world. Originally I was going to ask for a way to leave and get my cousin back, but it sounds like the amount of time it would take me in the real world, this will all be over by then. And you're already missing two people."[/color] Kazero paused, taking a depth breath and resolving his nerve. At the same time, Tsunomon - starting to second guess what Kazero was about to say - began to feel weak and jelly-like. [color=92278f]"I'll take his place here and go back to him afterwards-"[/color]

[color=00a99d]"No."[/color] replied Tsunomon flatly. Kazero turned to the unrepenting judas.

[color=92278f]"But I-"[/color]

[color=00a99d]"[b][i]No[/i][/b]"[/color] insisted Tsunomon. Kazero scooted down to Tsunomon.

[color=92278f]"Dude! Come on man! Why are you doing this? You guys need help [i]now[/i]. I'm not what you wanted but I'm here."[/color] protested Kazero in a whisper.

[color=00a99d]"You are [i]not[/i] what I expected. I expected a digidestined. Instead I got his civilian sidekick. You have no business in this war. You have no business in this room. You are useless and only present a liability and danger to everyone else here and you need to leave."[/color] persisted Tsunomon, raising his voice so that everyone in the room could hear his words. Kazero stood up straight, realising that Tsunomon was not going to start a dialogue with him. [color=00a99d]"Good people have died! More will likely follow! This is not an opportunity for you to play a hero!"[/color]

[color=92278f]"Hey! I'm not disrespecting what you're going through! I'm saying I want to help! I know this is serious and I know I can do [i]something[/i] no matter how small it might be. I got the digivice to transport me here! I've spent most of my life around Kamina. Something must have rubbed off-"[/color] Tsunomon headbutted Kazero, making him drop to the ground gripping his forehead. 

[color=00a99d]"Are you stupid or just belligerently moronic? The anomaly of the digivice reacting to you instead of my tamer are so minute I can't even be sure it is a full one percent!"[/color] barked Tsunomon.

[color=92278f]"One percent..."[/color] replied Kazero. [color=92278f]"That's Enough. Even if I only have one percent of what makes Kamina special, then I can definitely prove myself useful."[/color] Kazero struggled back to his feet, his forehead grazed from where Tsunomon's horn scratched him. [color=92278f]"You hate me. That's okay. I'm used to that much, but I'm not going to fight back. When this is over and we're victorious and your people get your homeland back, you'll want to meet Kamina and I'm not going to tell him I made enemies with you on the first day I met you."[/color] added Kazero. His voice was lower than before when he was basically shouting against the world. [color=92278f]"I'll carry the digivice for you until you can get hands of your own. After that, I'll stay out of your way bro."[/color] negotiated Kazero.
