Takashi eyed the strange newcomer suspiciously before he figured out that the human was with the Digimon who had just saved their lives. Takashi, however, could not just leave as the boy suggested. He and Terriermon had said they would help fight the chicken Digimon, and he wasn't about to break his promise.

"I appreciate your help - I really do. But... I can't leave," Takashi looked down at Terriermon who he could tell would have readily accepted the boy's order to escape. "There's someone else who's fighting with us. I told him that we would help fight this chicken, and I plan on keeping my promise. Sorry, but you'll have to escape by yourself. Terriermon and I have some unfinished business to attend to."
