Niels gave Impmon an [i]impish[/i] grin himself.  [b]"Oh yea, getting along with your partner alright."[/b] That delivered a sigh from the boy's lion digimon.  [b]"Aaaannnnnyyyyways.  Ahhh, Yumeko? Right? Cute Japanese girl that's a bit of a tomboy?"[/b]

Yumeko was a slightly flustered by that. [color=yellow]"Shut up.  You're never going to get any girls that way.  A-anyways, we need to save Greymon."[/color]  She looked at the map on her Digivice and walked off in a direction. 

Tinkermon couldn't help but giggle.  [color=tan]"This train ain't stopping anytime soon, so you better catch up while you can.  Hope you don't trip on any tree roots while we're going there."[/color]  The little Pixie digimon said, guessing what was on her Tamer's mind.

[b]"H-hey! Wait up! I was just joking around!"[/b] Niels said, play catch up.  Supposing no one objected the party continued. . .

[hr]

What felt like thirty minutes passed and the group of tamers ran into something they had not probably expected.  A giant tower of a digimon and five smaller digimon that looked like little shorties in armor.  [b]"What in the Digital World is this?  A small group of tamers?  Not one of the ones we need. . . But it's always nice to get rid of the competition.  What do you all say?!"[/b]  The giant tower thing said to the smaller ones.

[b]"Yea, boss!"[/b]

[b]"We got this!"[/b]

[b]"They look weak"[/b]

The little things said amongst themselves.  Niels just giggled a bit.  [b]"Oh my, did the pipsqueaks in armor with toothpicks for spears call us weak?"[/b]  He seemed genuinely amused by this.  The Chess Army soldiers seemed irritated by this and were ready to pick a fight.

[color=yellow]"Hey, these guys. . . Are they?"[/color]  Yumeko had to ask.  Tinkermon just nodded almost laughing with Niels.  [color=yellow]"Then. . . The big one is RookChessmon and the smaller ones are PawnChessmon?"[/color]  She just guessed since they were related to chess anyway.  [color=yellow]"Then we can handle the PawnChessmon.  No problem.  You get the RookChessmon.  He's the same level as your GrapLeomon right?"[/color]

[b]"Geez, since when were you the boss?  Still, I was going to suggest the same."[/b]  He leaned over to Vivian a bit and whispered in his ear, [b]"Geez, you have it tough dontcha?"[/b]  He then slapped GrapLeomon on the shoulder and urged him onward.  [b]We got this, bud.  This guy is cake compared to Ruuto's Tankdramon."[/b]

The RookChessmon practically sighed as he went to face GrapLeomon.  The PawnChessmon were riled up and wanted blood.  Luckily, our Heroes had more than enough time to prepare.  [color=tan]"Last one in's a rotten Digiegg."[/color] Tinkermon said as she moved forward towards on of the charging Chessmon and kicked him in the face. . . Or, at the least, where his face would be if a helmet weren't in the way.  He fell over quickly.  [color=tan]"Oh wow, he was right, you are w.e.a.k."[/color]
