It has been a while since Kuro left Primary Village and he has finally begun to acclimate to travel, after some rather pleasant encounters, Kuro has a pip in his step, deciding to head towards the city of Rosewood he had heard about awhile back he came across a small but hospitable looking city that melded well with the forest around it, he picked up the scents of many digimon, stopping for a moment he breathed in, trying to get a good read on the digimon that lived in this city, most smelled young like himself, rookie level digimon and as far as he could tell, no champions, that was good news, on top of that he could smell many mouth watering foods. Before a somewhat familiar scent hit his nostrils, it smelled like his friend Zack! Another human... this he had to check out, so into the city he went to see what this human was like.

Tomiko had reluctantly begun to believe in this new and very strange world. From the fantasy-like locales, like something from one of those cheesy video games to the monsters which looked similarly bizarre. Just maybe not in the monster that wouldn’t leave her alone . “What did I tell you about personal space. Boundaries are important. Especially with a mug like that one.” She snarled at the Sukasimon that was inches behind her. It reminded her of a Teru Teru Bozu that had been dipped in every single paint at once. It just wouldn’t leave her alone. No matter how much she shouted at it, or ran away from it. It’d appear again, like a very persistent shadow. "Dame da?"Ignoring these nonsense words, Tomiko sat down on a bench. With Sukasimon hovering above the seat, it’s large blank eyes turning to stare deeply into her soul. Shuddering, she looked away from the creature and out onto Rosewood City. So far, she has met two humans and a whole host of weirdos. Just a few of the many odd, creepy or dangerous monsters in this world. “I really hate this place...”

Kuro followed the human's scent through the winding buidlings of the city, dodging past hurrying digimon on his way, and only stopping a few times after catching sight of a bakery or two, shaking his sweet tooth off he continued on his investigation, quickly coming across the girl as she scolded the digimon next to her.
Kuro frowned at the scene infront of him, he was unfamiliar with the digimon that seemed to be bother this human girl, and he decided it would be best for him to offer his assistance as he walked towards the duo. He didn't plan on fighting the digimon if he didn't have too, and hoped he was just missunderstanding the situation and it was just a Tamer and partner not exactly getting along. But it mattered not someone needed his help and he was at least going to offer it.
"Excuse me Ma'am, is this digimon giving you a bother?" Kuro said giving his very best smile to the tamer.

Ever since they had met that day in the forest, Sukasimon had been following her. Obsessively so. No matter what she said, or did. It wasn’t interested in doing anything except following her and being unfamiliar with the rules of “personal space” Sighing to herself, Tomiko sat down on a bench, a hand on her cheek as she looked out over Rosewood City. The colorful ghost floated behind the bench, slowly moving up and down. “Dame? Dame da?”Every so often, some oddly-shaped creature would appear or disappear from view as she watched them. Creatures of all shapes and sizes, designs and forms. Some more monstrous than others, while some were small and fluffy. Maybe even cute. So, lost in thought, Tomiko failed to hear the stranger who had walked over to her, a wide smile on their face. Before she said a word, she gave them a look up and down. They appeared to be a small black dinosaur-like creature. “Uh, no. Well...” Tomiko turned her head to look up at Sukasimon for just a second. “No more than usual, at least.”“Dame?” It said, the wide slit-like mouth opening wide. A long purple tongue rolled out. It too, appeared to be assessing the situation. “You’re not scared of me?” Tomiko asked, swapping the hand she was leaning on. “The last Digimon that I met tried to spear me on against a tree. But that one was an idiot and a rusty old trashcan. What’s your story?”

Kuro cocked his head to side in confusion, he was sorry to hear that the human had had such a rough time already, he knew that feeling. And after minute of contemplation he decided it couldn't hurt to tell her a bit about himself.
"Not really, you don't seem very violent, I'm Kuro! I'm a Black Agumon," Kuro explained as he took but a moment more of hesitation, "Well, I was born in the village of beginnings like so many other digimon, and got a picked up by a tribe of greymon, it was fun and I trained with my siblings and stuff for awhile before, well my tribe is dedicated to destroying virus types, and having digivolved into a virus type was exsiled,"
Kuro hung his head dejectedly, "Ever since, I've been on my own trying to become stronger, and help people along the way,"

Tomiko was staring at the BlackAgumon with such ferocity that it was likely he would physically feel it soon enough. Another one of these creatures with a name and a backstory. Maybe this really wasn’t some weird dream, after all. It was more like a video game. One of those long-winded, heavy-on-the-story sort of games that let you feel like you were in the shoes of the character you played as. Although, she had never actually done so. She had never been allowed, always forced, to focus on school work over free time. “I see.” Tomiko said, simply. “You want to grow stronger. That makes sense, I guess.” She shrugged and finally looked away. “All creatures want to become stronger. It’s a selfish desire of mankind. Although, I guess you aren’t one of them either.” She tilted her head slightly, considering what the dinosaur had said. “Digimon are odd.”“Dame da?” The puppet Digimon said, copying Tomiko’s head movement. Its body was so close to Tomiko that they were practically arm-to-arm. “Yeah, especially you. You asked me if this creature was a bother. Well, yes, in all actuality. It is.” She spat out. Her irritation growing by the second. “Ever since that thing appeared, it’s been following me around and won’t leave me alone.”“What do you know about this thing?” She pulled the broken-looking, barely functional Xros Loader from her pocket and held it out.

Kuro cocked his head to the side observing the device careful, it reminded him of Zack's digivice, though its shape was different.
"I think that's a digivice, a human friend of mine has one, infect I'm pretty sure they met their digimon partner when they got it, so maybe that's why its following you?" Kuro offered, "Apparently it allows the human partner to make their digimon friend stronger,
This surely was a strange situation, a human who didn't know what a digivice was but had one apparently, even if it was a different looking one, Kuro guessed that meant not all humans knew about digimon, like how not all digimon knew about humans.
"Sorry to say, but from where I'm standing, I think your stuck with him," Kuro said sheepishly, "Although digimon partners seems to like you quite a lot, maybe you should try and be friends? You guys are in this together after all,"

Tomiko tilted her head, annoyed by both of the answers that she received. So, she was stuck with this useless creature following her for all eternity or however long these things lived. Maybe they were like those Tamagochi toys and it would die after so long. “Oh, that is just my luck,” she spat, once more, looking mutinous. “I’d like to find a way out of this crazy world and go back to my old life, honestly. Leave all of this craziness, behind.” She made a sweeping gesture to Rosewood and all that lived within it. As she did so, she caught sight of two more creatures marching towards her. Once more, these two were knight-shaped. One in white colors and the other black. Several times smaller and lacking the more fancy body decor of SkullKnightmon. Each of them held lances in one hand and small round shields in the other. Even though they moved in single file, the two knights seemed... oddly uncoordinated. The black knight stopped just short of Tomiko and Kuro, and the white knight crashed into the other with a resounding scrape of metal-on-metal. Steadying himself again, the black knight slapped him with the back of his lance. “Watch it! Watch it!” “You watch it, watch it.” “But you crashed into me!” “I don’t believe I did.” “I just saw it.” “Enough!” “Enough!”Tomiko looked down at these two diminutive knights with disdain and dislike, crossing every part of her face. “Uh, what do you want?” “PawnChessmon, Black and White are here!” The two knights spoke in unison, dramatically pointing with their lances. “For that!” She turned her head to watch where their lances pointed. Both of them, crossed in mid-air, were directly aimed at the ghostly bodied Digimon who stood just behind Tomiko. “You want him, you take ‘em,” Tomiko said, in the most nonchalant way. Shrugging her shoulders in a way that clearly stated, she was of no bother. “We are also here to place, ‘a girl who is known to be travelling with the cursed one’, into custody,” the two PawnChessmon said in unison.

Kuro turned to the two knights , then to the ghostly digimon behind the girl, then the girl herself and made a decision.
"I don't much care for people who put labels on others without good reason, and much less those who would punish a person for being who they are," Kuro growled his amethyst eyes gaining a bright yet sinster glow, as he stood between the knights and the young lady. "If you have a better reason other then some stupid superstition, I'd love to hear it, if you don't , then beat it," He punctuated his sentence by clamping his jaws fiercely, a spout of flames erupting from them.
Kuro internally hoped he was right about these knight digimon, and they were just following some misconception about the tamer and her digimon, but he had just met them and it was possible for him to be wrong. On the other hand he had taken a bit of a liking to the two, despite the girl being rather rude, he had a feeling there was good in her, she was also eerily familiar to him. Her mannerisms scratching at something from his past life.

The two knights paused for a second. It was quite clear that had not expected to be talked too in such a manner. Then, they nodded in unison and pointed their lances at Kuro who was spouting fire like an angry tea kettle.
“Another prisoner, then?” “I think so.” “That makes three?” “Three, indeed” “Shall we?” “We shall?” “Capture the troublemakers!”
They said in unison. Tomiko stepped forward, pushing Sukasimon aside. “Dumb and dumber, I’m not going anywhere and neither is my property. Nor, the reptile. You want ‘em. Well then you’re going to have to fight. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. Especially, a couple of pipsqueaks like you two”
The chessmen stepped back, seemingly unnerved by the brashness of a human. Eventually, the white knight puffed out his chest and began to talk again in a loud and carrying voice. “That monster. It caused havoc throughout Terminus. It had to be caught and placed into custody. It is a cursed monster.”
The black knight copied his companions suit, stepping forward with chest puffed out. “Plus, you.” It pointed the lance at Tomiko. “You attacked our master, SkullKnightmon.”
Tomiko couldn’t help but smirk. “Oh yeah, ol’ chrome dome. I hope Rusty isn’t too upset he got beat down by some, what was it, troublemakers?”
“Beware troublemakers! Now we attack!” The two knights said in unison. The black chessman threw this lance forward trying to attack Kuro. Whilst the white was aiming more towards Tomiko.

Kuro growled as he leaned his head back, glowering at the approching pawn chessmon.
"Pepper Breath!" He annouced as a ball of raging flame flew from his mouth and into the face of his opponet knocking it back, as he used its imbalence to bum rush it.
These guys weren't gonna take him without a fight, and the girl's words had touched Kuro to boot! Kuro decided there and then he had made the right decision and his blood boilded in excitment at the chance to fight along side her. He mused this must be what partner digimon felt.
Kuro then relized , as he stood face to face with the enemy digimon, that he had never asked the girl her name despite giving his own.
"Sorry for being, rude but you wouldn't mind giving me your name now that we are fighting together would you?" Kuro jested his left side eye turn back to catch her expression.

The two PawnChessmon launched their attacks simultaneously on their two targets. The black knight aimed for Kuro. Lance out stretched, it launched forward. But was caught by a ball of flames launched from the dinosaur’s mouth. It struck the shield, knocking the tiny knight of balance. It fell backwards onto its backside. Accidentally bonking itself atop the head, with its own lance as it did so.
“That was rude. Rude, rude, rude!” It cried out, nursing the bump growing through the armored helm.
Meanwhile, the white knight was aiming not at Sukasimon but instead at Tomiko. She avoided being skewered on the end of its lance by an inch. “Hey, watch it. You little...” She launched a kick at it. But it jumped backwards.
“We battle as one!” “One we battle as!” “Fight together and we win!” “Win together after we fight!”
“Then we claim our reward!” Tomiko had been ignoring the two knights for the past few minutes as they spoke to one another. Instead, she turned to the little black dinosaur to her side. "Hmm... my name? It's Tomiko," she said, surveying this monster with some growing interest. "Your name is?"
The white knight helped the black knight back to his feet. Then, the two jumped forward as a pair both of them aimed at Kuro. With Tomiko taken completly off-guard.
“First, we eliminate the intruder.” With a flash of crimson, the stationary Sukasimon moved. It had jumped right into the path of the lances. They stuck the skin of the monster and sunk into the oddly ghostly but also cloth-like flesh. It fell backwards, seemingly stunned. “Now we win!” “Although, slayed our target, we did?”
“Did we?” They looked on as Sukasimon has fallen and then crumpled. Until, seconds later, the two knights fell to their knees. Tiny sparks appeared over their bodies.
“I feel weak!”
“Weak, I feel!”
Note: Several abilities activated due to Sukasimon taking damage in a battle. PawnChessmon (Black and White) both take a small amount of damage from Viral Touch. Each knight is also inflicted with a Defense Debuff of 8% due to Cursed Body. Passive Heal restores a small amount of Sukasimon's HP.

Kuro looked at the girl and her digimon in interest as he noticed some kind of effect take place after the Pawn Chessmon attacked the little guy.
"Pepper Breath!" Kuro declared as he fired another blast at the stunned Pawn Chessmon, knocking them to the side. "Well Tomiko you have a few tricks eh?" Kuro smiled at the girl as he slid between her and the Pawn Chessmon, "Your on the wrong side of this Pawn Chessmon, we're obviously at an advantage, give up and go home," Kuro growled.
He really didn't want to have to kill the Pawn Chessmon, as it wasn't his style, but if they refused to retreat it may very well end up that way, he only hoped that if it did they made better choices in their next live, Kuro knew they probably wouldn't simply surrender, and deciding the life of a human who couldn't just reincarnate like Digimon (as far as he knew) was more precious then any of the digimon here's as cold as that sounded in his head.

It seemed as if the battle was being won. Kuro’s Pepper Breath knocked the pair of PawnChessmon over. Tiny sparks of crimson energy still sparked over their bodies. The remnants of Sukasimon’s odd abilities. Tomiko smirked slightly, but tilted her head towards Sukasimon . “I don’t. That thing, however. As annoying as it is... that thing does have a few interesting tricks.” "Dame da?" Sukasimon said, looking around at Tomiko. It's large white eyes, staring blankly.
The pair of knights lay crumpled on the ground at the feet of Tomiko. It appeared they were unable to continue. “You two better do what the dinosaur said. Unless you wanna get crushed, eaten, or whatever happens when you’re killed in this world.” It wasn’t until that moment that Tomiko realized that she had never asked what would happen if a Digimon took too much damage in a fight. Was it like a video game, did they just re-spawn at the last save point or did something more ominous happen. More like a human death. She didn’t have long to muse however. The two PawnChessmon had risen back up, albeit woozily. “So what is the verdict, dumb, dumb.” Tomiko leaned forward, a cat-like smirk forming across her face. She was unsure if the two knights were going to continue fighting or not. The two knights looked at each other for a second and then silently put their lances into the air. Tied to each of them, was a tiny white flag. Each, clearly made in a hurry. “We surrender!” “Surrender we do!” “But, we will be back!” “To battle with you!”With this said, they backed up. Moving swiftly backwards, until the entrance to the city was visible, and then they were gone. As fast as they had first appeared. Probably to go and find reinforcements. Maybe to report back to that idiot knight shaped like a skull. “Well, that was fun,” Tomiko mused. “Is everyone around her a lunatic, or is it just the knights. That’s three insane knights. I’ve met and I’ve only been here...” She paused, suddenly unsure. “I think it’s been almost two days. I still have no idea how to get home, though.”

"Sorry to hear you met those wackos, I'd like to say they aren't the norm, but we digimon can get a bit werid more often then I'd like," Kuro said shaking his head with sight, "However it maybe, I'm glad you at least got some enjoyment out of the fight, and that they gave up before we had to send them back to the village of beginings,"
Kuro looked the girl up and down, after fighting along side her ,he grown a slight fondness of her and her friends antics as little of them he had seen, this thought turned to one that made him visibly frown, there was something about her and this digimon that was very familiar and his inability to put a claw on it was really annoying the young agumon. He was begining to think it had something to do with his oh so secretive past life, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
