Kuroko put a hand on Buck's shoulder. The Digimon's muscles were tensed up and ready for a fight. But at the very least this Wisemon seemed to be willing to listen... for now. Kuroko gave Buck a gentle bop on the head to get his attention. "Calm down," she said softly, kneeling down. "If you do, I'll get you some snacks as soon as I can."

That got his attention. Buck's eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. "Really?"

"Really-really."

"Okay, but for the record, if Wisemon decides to attack, I'm not going down without a fight." Kuroko frowned. She'd heard Buck say something like that before. When the two were sitting in an alleyway while people ran and hid from monsters, the little Digimon had made a promise to her.

"Just like you swore before," she muttered.

"Of course. But that Sangloupmon... he wasn't as strong as Wisemon. Even with modifications to our Digicores as Champion-levels, we still can't beat an Ultimate-level Digimon on our own."

"So you'd have to work in a team?"

"Absolutely, but..." Buck scratched under his chin. "Admittedly, I'm not much of a team player..."

Kuroko glanced at the others. "If something like the Yokai Incident is happening right now, I think that's gonna have to change."
