All seemed like it was going well. The little PawnChessmon seemed to be on board with their plan of communication, and he even seemed happy about it too. He mentioned wanting to try some spicy curry from the human world sometime. "Well you have Tamernet, right? We can talk on there, and I can bring you some from back home next time we have it. I wish there was a way you could tell us your real name though, I don't know what to call you!"
While Hawkeye had his doubts, the PawnChessmon tried to reassure him, in his own way of course, that he shouldn't worry and that PawnChessmon wouldn't be a burden at all. "I never said you were going to be a burden. Just that this is an unfamiliar circumstance. Please forgive me if I happen to forget to listen to the opposite of what you are saying."
Kazuo was happy that the PawnChessmon was willing to get into games and anime. Aside from Kaya, her sister Mari and sometimes Hawkeye, Kazuo didn't really have anyone else to share his interests with. He was pretty familiar with the internet, but he wasn't comfortable making any social media accounts to interact with others yet.
The Tentomon noticed the PawnChessmon looking at his claws, and he knew what the little guy was thinking: "How the fudge does this Tentomon play games?" In response to this, Kazuo extended his main claw arms out, revealing two normal-looking hands that both waved at the PawnChessmon. "In case you were wondering how I'm even able to hold a controller, kekekek..."
Too bad Kaya left her bag at the Fanbeemon nest. PawnChessmon suggested that they just go after it, claiming the job to be super simple. The looks of disapproval from the other three said it all. "What's simple about it? Did you not see the swarm of Fanbeemon chasing after us?!"
"Let me guess: you thought they were playing with us."
"Those guys are really scary! They even tried stinging ME, even though I'm also a bug!"

Mordreid stared at Kaya for a hot minute before giving an exasperated sigh. "Didn't you hear me before? My name is Darksteel Terroredge! Names are definitely important to me, so you should definitely worry about remembering it! Otherwise I'm going to get mad and murder your friends and family!" And to the Hawkmon he simply shrugged his shoulders. "And I'm super interested in this avenue of discussion right now! In fact, I don't think I'm every going to forgive you!"
The PawnChessmon gave the Tentomon a curious look as he... extended a pair of hands out of his claws and waved at him. That looked absolutely disgusting, yet fascinating at the same time! "I don't have any questions at all concerning that!" He stated, yet still didn't follow up with anything.
And it seemed that Mordreid was mistaken in his belief that the swarm of Fanbeemon were friendly to the trio. So... they were chasing them down for some reason? Were these three some kind of honey thieves? They seemed nice and sweet, but then again, so was honey. Still, a group of thieves was still kind of interesting. Sure, stealing stuff was bad, but if all they did was retrieve their property, it couldn't be all that bad, right?
"Then we should completely forget about your bag!" Mordreid noted. "After all, it's not like the Fanbeemon won't have any way of tracking you down now that they have your belongings! I'm sure you'll be perfectly safe if you just leave it there!"

Kaya could definitely tell that the PawnChessmon was getting fed up with the topic of names. She just wanted to know what to call him, what's wrong with that? It looked like she was just gonna have to make up a name for him then. "Fine, I'll drop it, geez... how abouuuut if I call you Naozumi? Or just Nao for short?" The irony of that name is that its meaning was "pure truth".
Kazuo looked confused when "Naozumi" shared his concerns over the Tentomon's extra set of hands. "What? All Tentomon have these. Did I forget to wash them?" he asked as he looked over his hands.
Now, the trio really should have explained exactly why they were being chased by Fanbeemon. So Hawkeye decided to do just that. "In case you're wondering, we didn't steal anything. Kaya was actually trying to offer the Fanbeemon a human world snack that is made with honey. They did not like that and accused us of stealing their honey, so they attacked."
"The second time being nice to a Digimon blew up in my face," Kaya complained with a sigh of disappointment.
The PawnChessmon still insisted that they go after the bag anyways, as it did have their personal belongings and the Fanbeemon now had a way to track them down if they discovered it. "He's right, they can do that."
"Plus your Digivice and all of our food is in there!"
"Right. We've gotta get it back." Kaya turned back to the PawnChessmon. "I know it's a lot to ask, but do you think you could help us? I can treat you to a human world snack if you do!"

"That name is completely unacceptable!" Mordreid said without hesitation, though he noted that Kaya seemed off-put by something. Oh well, it probably didn't involve the little dark knight Digimon! He already forgot what she was going to call him, but at least the matter of the name issue was resolved!
The Tentomon raised concerns over the cleanliness and quality of his hands, and Mordreid could only shrug. "I know all about that!" He answered happily. "But did you know that Digimon who don't wash their hands and brush their teeth get turned into virus-attribute Digimon and carried off into a gladiator's arena somewhere in the Dark Area! I can't do any of that because my body would rust... so I've already turned into a virus!"
He listened to Hawkeye explain their circumstances and patted the bird Digimon on his feathery shoulder. "I never doubted you guys for even a second!" He assured them. "And offering a bee Digimon some honey definitely sounds like a sound and inoffensive idea!" Seriously, why didn't the group give them some spicy curry? That probably would have gone over better.
"And you should never focus on being nice!" Mordreid commented on the human girl's complaint. "No one's going to be your friend and you'll end up alone for the rest of your life, after all! You certainly didn't make a friend just now, either! So let's not worry about getting that bag! It doesn't sound like there was anything important in it!"
Mordreid started to walk off in a random direction. He had realized halfway through his speech that he had no idea where this hive was, but he figured there'd be a small chance he picked the right way, so to save face he kept on walking onward. He was sure that his new friends would point him in the right way if he picked wrong!

"Then it's settled! We'll all call you Nao!" Kaya exclaimed with confidence. Maybe one day they'd be able to learn his name, but for now they at least had something to call him, since just referring to him as the PawnChessmon was getting pretty irritating.
Now that the three of them have caught on that Nao could only tell lies, his extravagant ones were going to have little to no effect on them. Kazuo gave Nao a pretty unamused look when he shared that "fact" about Digimon who don't wash their hands. "I'll have you know that I always wash my hands and claws after using the bathroom and before mealtimes," he proudly stated.
Hawkeye also gave Nao an unamused look after he spoke to the bird Digimon. "You can thank Kaya for THAT bright idea."
"Come on, I didn't know Dorayaki was made of honey!"
"...how?!"
Now was the time to actually set off and get that bag. Nao started to wander off in a random direction... too bad that direction was literally the exact opposite of where the Fanbeemon hive was. Kaya jogged up to Nao and held his hand, leading him to the other direction with the other two Digimon. "Why don't you just follow us, okay?"

Mordreid was relieved to have that out of the way. Apparently names were a big deal for the human girl though the PawnChessmon didn't quite understand why. There were plenty of Digimon that didn't have names, after all. Still, all he could do was shrug and accept. And it wasn't like it was a bad name - whatever it was - so he couldn't be offended, not that he would have been, regardless.
Mordreid wanted to pat the Tentomon on the shoulder in response for his proud statement. Good hygiene was important, after all! Especially when they apparently live in a foreign world! You never know what kind of factors could alter or corrupt your digital structure, after all!
He heard Kaya and Hawkeye bicker for a quick second about the contents of some food and Mordreid could only shrug. He wasn't a gourmet, and he had no idea what this foreign delicacy was supposed to be, except that it apparently contained honey. Kaya could offer him some once they retrieved their belongings, but he wasn't sure if he would eat some food that was dropped on the ground.
And when Mordreid went in the wrong direction Kaya grabbed his hand led him in the opposite direction. It was a little embarrassing but he had expected something like this to happen. "Hey, did you know? People who come into direct contact with my body get corrupted! If you do it too long your eyes and hair turn crimson red and you start developing a fashion sense that completely revolves around spikes and black leather!"

Nao said another tall tale about how his body corrupts those that touch him when Kaya grabbed his hand to pull him to the direction they were actually supposed to head towards. While she didn't believe him, Kaya did take it as a sign that the little knight did not appreciate being touched. She calmly let go of his and and let him follow the group naturally.
It would be a short walk up to the Fanbeemon hive, but there was still time for conversation. "So Nao, what's your story then? What are you doing in this part of the woods?"
"Is that a question he can even answer?" Kazuo asked as he hovered closely to the right of Kaya.
"Where there's a will, there's a way," Kaya simply responded. "As for us, we like to explore a lot of areas in the Digital World. The woods is a special place for us especially, since that's where Hawkeye and I first met."
"We dragged Kazuo along with us today so he'd stop sitting at home watching television," Hawkeye added. "Also because he ate the strawberry chocolate that was clearly mine."
"It was sitting in the pantry, just begging to be eaten! I was starving!" Kazuo defended himself in an angry tone.
Hawkeye turned to glare at the bug. "You ate a total of FIVE bags of potato chips, you gluttonous beetle!" The two were interlocked in an angry staring contest, you could almost see the tension between the two of them.

Kaya let go of his hand upon his story and Mordreid shrugged it off. He was indifferent to the concept of holding hands, but he supposed that it was probably because holding his cold metal hands wouldn't be particularly comfortable. He didn't mind, though, because company was company!
Eventually Kaya asked what he was doing here, and Mordreid couldn't help but oblige. What exactly was he doing here, again? Something about a dark spirit, or something? Oh well, he could just make something up!
"I'm searching for the Nega-Digimental!" He answered cheerfully. Oh! That was it! There was an urban myth about an Impmon or something! He might as well incorporate it into his story! "You know the stories behind an Impmon that leads travelers to their doom? Well, legends say that all the regrets and the lamentations of the departed would drive most of the forest residents here insane and make this entire continent like the Dark Zone, so the Digital World itself decided to coalesce all of the negative energy into a single Digi-egg full of resentment and despair!"
He stopped to look up at them with a skip in his step. "Anyway, I figured if I obtained that power for myself, I can return to my former status of a True Dark Lord, and conquer the Digital World with an ebon-iron fist of tyranny and cruelty! After all, my sole reason for existing is to snuff out all light of hope in this far-too-bright world!" A pause, and then he added, "I love the taste of strawberry chocolate! Sweet foods in general are my absolute favorite!"

Despite what Nao would think of his hands being cold, Kaya didn't think that at all. His hand was very soft and warm, contradictory to the rest of him. Then again, Kaya liked holding hands with ANY Digimon at all, but still, there was probably some truth to that, right?
When Kaya asked what the little knight was doing in the woods, Nao responded that he was searching for something called the "Nega-Digimental", and claimed that that mystical Impmon of the Server Woods, saying that those victims would have been driven insane and made the continent like the Dark Zone, so the Digital World decided to take that negative energy and put it into a single Digimental, apparently.
None of the three believed him at all. One, it all just sounded silly, and two, they knew he spoke in mostly lies. But a lie like that? He was probably just talking for the sake of talking, unless there were clues in what he said that were just going above their heads.
"Sounds like a world-building part in a fantasy anime," Kazuo commented. "But, uh... wouldn't you wanna stay AWAY from a Digimental like that?"
While the bird and bug were arguing, all Nao did to help was to comment on how he didn't care for strawberry chocolate, and preferred sour foods. Not exactly helpful while the two were butting heads. "All you do at home is eat junk and watch anime or play games! I honed my skills to be put to good use, why can't you do the same?"
"Please, stop..." Kaya pleaded to the two of them, but they just were not listening...

"Not at all! As a virus-attribute Digimon I crave all sorts of dark power in order to fulfill my evil desires!" Mordreid tried to explain to the Tentomon. "So dark energy like that is perfectly acceptable for a fiendish Digimon such as myself!"
As he tried to explain this, the two other Digimon kept arguing with each other. Hawkeye seemed rather uptight, insisting upon the Tentomon spend more time practicing more useful skills like a shut-in's disappointed father-figure. Meanwhile Kaya seemed to urge them to stop... to no avail. Still, Mordreid felt like there was a way he could help. "Hawkeye's right! You need to go out and get a job, Kazuo! You're doing nothing but leeching off a poor human and her partner! Hawkeye can agree that you've never once contributed to the group as a whole, so you should just disappear forever!"
Mordreid turned to the Hawkmon and patted him on his feathery shoulder. "And you're definitely in the right for arguing with a comrade when there's a group of Digimon looking for you and could attack you at any moment! I'm sure that criticizing others during a potentially critical moment won't cause you or any of your loved ones to come to harm!" The PawnChessmon shrugged and took a few steps away.
"Personally, I think you two should keep fighting until one of you kills the other! After all, if one of you kills the other and loads their data you'll be that much stronger to protect this human, right? Hmm... maybe I should try and kill you two as well..." Now that tensions were potentially raised, Mordreid needed to do something to break them.
So he looked around for second, walking backwards to face them towards a tree. Then as if to turn and run on ahead the PawnChessmon ran straight into the tree, so hard a few leaves fell from the branches as the PawnChessmon fell onto his back.
"I think I found the Dark Digimental!" He proclaimed a group of leaves fell onto his visor.

"Dude, you realize we're not gonna buy anything you say anymore, right?" Kazuo asked, basically explaining the obviousness of what's going on once more. "So clearly you're not looking for that Nega-whatchamacallit. Are you... looking for that weird Impmon of these woods?"
"Come on, Hawkeye and I have been to the Server Woods a lot, and we never saw any Impmons here," Kaya said, not believing in that legend at all.
Hawkeye and Kazuo were in a heated debate, however. Thankfully Nao stepped in to try and break it up, effectively taking Kazuo's side in the argument from what he was saying, which pretty much meant "nah, Kazuo's cool, he isn't being a lazy log at all". Which was definitely a lie. "You don't know what it is like to share a space with him, Nao. It's horrible..."
"At least I try to be nice to you, which at this point why do I even bother?"
While Hawkeye would have LOVED to rip into Kazuo more, Nao did bring up a good point, they were on a mission and couldn't afford to have the Fanbeemon hear them too early. "Yeah, you are correct... I will try to save my personal feelings for afterwards."
Then Nao did something utterly goofy by running right into a tree he was mere inches away from. While they were thankful that he stopped the argument, that didn't stop Kaya and Kazuo from laughing at the PawnChessmon's misfortune, while Hawkeye ran over to help the little guy up. "You must be more careful."
It wouldn't take much longer before the group ended up back at the hive, which while there were several honeycombs in such a small area, there were strangely no Fanbeemon around. Kaya's backpack was a light blue and pink color, which definitely stood out from the colors of the forest at it rested on a tree that did not have a honeycomb on it. Now, who would go and get the backpack?

"It never occured to me that you might not believe a single word that I said, because I'm always telling the truth!" Mordreid explained to the Tentomon very patiently. "I'm beginning that you might be the smarted Digimon in the entire forest! The dark powers are most definitely going to appear before me because all I do is bring misfortune to the Digital World in its entirety! It's only natural that such a darkness would gravitate towards my dark energies!"
He turned to Kaya when she noted her disbelief in the legend. "You're right, it doesn't sound very believable! Definitely not as believable as strange beings that come from another world, bearing strange unheard-of technology that transforms weaker Digimon into much stronger forms prematurely! It's definitely not a realistic story in the slightest!"
Mordreid's feigned clumsiness managed to temporarily quell the bickering, and he nodded to Hawkeye as he helped him up. "Sorry! I'm really clumsy and I can never take stock of my surroundings because of my visor!" Despite the fact that his vision was absolutely unimpeded and he was surprisingly graceful for a machine Digimon in such clunky armor.
And then they finally arrived at their destination, and he spotted Kaya's bag in a nearby tree, while there didn't seem to be any nearby Digimon. So either they were hiding or they all wanted to find Kaya and co. in a fervor. Regardless, Mordreid wanted to get in and out as quickly as possible. "It's a shame none of us can fly and just grab the bag. And I'm much too quiet to provide a suitable distraction for any potential Digimon hiding!" He whispered, before running out into the open, clanging his spear against his shield as he marched like a toy soldier, further and further away from the tree containing Kaya's bag.

Surprisingly, Kazuo didn't argue with the fact that he was called dumb. Still, he didn't appreciate being called that as what could've been interpreted as an insult. "Yeah yeah, I know I'm not the brightest one around, but you don't have to call me out like that..."
"At least you're funny, Kazuo," Kaya said in an attempt to cheer him up. "And cute too... and I don't normally say that about bugs."
"Heheh..." Kazuo chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with the dull side of his claw.
Nao disputed Kaya's claims of the Impmon not being real with all the other unbelievable things about Digimon, such as being living beings from another world and being able to become stronger with the help of super tech devices. The twelve year old blushed. "Okay, touche... but still, we haven't seen any Impmon around here before."
Since the lack of any Fanbeemon present was questionable, Nao would run away and bang his lance on his shield to provide as a sort of distraction. Meanwhile the remaining three ran up to grab Kaya's backpack. It was definitely pretty simple!
...that was until the three of them had honey thrown right at them, which stuck all three right to the tree and got them face to face with the entire hive of Fanbeemon. Meanwhile, three other Fanbeemon had flown off to follow Nao, each having a hand to pick him up to bring him back as yet another hostage. Once they were all present, the queen Flymon flew down from the sky in the middle of everyone... and BOY did she looked pissed.
"Well well well, if it isn't the honey thieves..." she would say in a very calm yet unsettling voice, speaking as if she had complete control over the situation, which she did. "I do not know how you humans operate, but we do not allow outsiders to have possession of anything with our honey in it, which is all honey."
"There's more hives than yours in the Digital World, you know," Kazuo pointed out.
This only caused the Flymon queen to give an enraged look at the Tentomon. "You will refer to me as 'Your Highness', and you shall never speak to me in that tone again, or you WILL be punished. Understand? Good... now, onto your new accomplice..." she said, referring to the new PawnChessmon that they had caught. "Why are you here?"

Things... didn't go as Mordreid planned. Not only were Kaya and her partners spotted almost immediately, but the PawnChessmon got grabbed far too easily and captured all the same. Still, things weren't all bad! It was just a bunch of Fanbeemon and a massive Flymon that called herself queen!
It began to talk all boisterous-like, and when Kazuo attempted to correct her, he was met with the threat of violence! And that just wouldn't do at all! Kazuo didn't deserve to get murdered for insolence! Of course, the Flymon then turned to Mordreid, inquiring his presence.
"Hello! My name is Sablespark Blackhelm! They tricked me into making a bunch of noise, your majesty!" He explained. "They were mean and wicked, and they said that they were going to steal all of your honey once you were all distracted!" He struggled in place, seeing if the Fanbeemon were willing to let go of him.
"But that doesn't explain why I came to this forest in the first place! The real reason I came to this forest was to subjugate your entire species! I was planning on just assassinating you, but I've decided to instead turn you into my minion instead! So let me go and be prepared to serve in my legion of darkness, you dumb bitch bug!"

Kaya, Hawkeye and Kazuo tensed up when Nao started to speak in his usual fiblish. They understood what he was trying to say, but the bees didn't, they hadn't caught on. It got even worse when he started talking about how he came here to turn all the Fanbeemon into his slaves. The Fanbeemon swarm all looked at each other and paused... before a chorus of laughter was suddenly heard.
The Flymon queen found it the funniest, laughing harder than any of the other Fanbeemon. "Ohoho, that is RICH! You think you can live up to such tyrants as the Demon Lords, or the D-Reaper... you're a funny one, Sparksable!" She didn't care enough about him to remember his fake name. Rude.
As for what he said earlier, about the other three trying to steal their honey, that was all the proof Flymon needed. She grinned an evil grin as she turned around towards the three stuck in honey. "Well well, looks like you truly are guilty. Naughty, naughty. The punishment would've been less severe if you admitted earlier. Therefore, you three are to receive the highest punishment we can grant: a single sting from every Fanbeemon in the hive!"
The crowd of Fanbeemon cheered at this announcement, they had been wanting to sting these thieves so badly. Kaya and the Digimon all had looks of genuine fear on their faces... a sting from every one of them, INCLUDING the Flymon, would kill all of them very quickly. And it was definitely all Nao's fault that they were to even get this punishment in the first place. What were they to do?
And they didn't have much time, as every flying bee Digimon slowly began to hover closer and closer to the "thieves"....
