Well. This certainly sounded important. Not that Nathan was in any hurry to go back. He reached up, at the last minute catching himself and instead scratching the skin under his injured eye.

"Nah. Gazimon and me missed it too, but it definitely happened. My aunt confirmed it was global afterwards when we asked." He guessed he could understand - what was his name? Right, Alika. Alika had the Falcomon - Alika's denial. "Well, EBEmon, I can't speak for everyone else here - someone might've been doing something already important." Like what, he couldn't imagine, but if someone really didn't want to be involved, it seemed unnecessarily cruel to drag them into this. Nathan sure hadn't remembered getting a chance to decline. "Me and Gazimon-" He looked down to the rabbit digimon, who was still watching everyone else. "Well, EBEmon, you can count on us, at least. We want to stay and help."

Gazimon faltered for a moment. They only had EBEmon's word that he served Minervamon. That the force that had pulled back the digimon had miraculously left him untouched as well. That he was not planning anything malicious with all of them. It was only his word and, if that word was false, then Gazimon would not be able to defend Nathan - to defend anyone who wanted to stay - from this Mega-leveled monster. It simply was not strong enough.

And yet. If EBEmon spoke truth, then they might bring the digimon back. Gazimon could roam freely with Nathan if it so chose. No one else would demand it for themselves, as if it were some object rather than Nathan's companion. Perhaps that was the reason behind Nathan's risky words. Or the motive could be a bit more selfish... Though if it called him out, might that not put him in danger too? It exhaled.

"[sub]He is right. We would desire many of our friends to return from the digital world. If our assistance can grant that, it will be worth our efforts.[/sub]" If the others could hear it, it didn't care. Those words were more for Nathan than them.
