Despite their best efforts Hajime and Ken couldn't actually catch up to Herald, but finding him tied up to the lamp post was still relatively easy. As Hajime picked up the bokken he couldn't resist inspecting the wooden sword for a bit before handing it over. Ken meanwhile wanted to cut the string and rejoin the others, both unaware that Dozer actually followed them. "Ready, Herald? Hajime do your thing."

Just as the Dinohyumon was about to cut their ally free with one of his blades Stingmon's attack revealed both it's own presence and that of Tankmon. Hajime briefly froze up wondering who he should help first. Based on the context of what happened to Herald Stingmon was more likely to be their enemy than Tankmon, but he had no idea how good the Android Digimon was at close range. After a few seconds he decided to cut Herald free first since the human was closer. Swinging his blade with one hand he used the other to put Ken down on the ground.
