At first Hajime wasn't too worried about fighting Guardromon but when he noticed that his attack only scratched the metal Digimon's paint he quickly realized that this was an uninjured fresh opponent. Of course he wasn't in terrible shape either but what really had him worried was the reaction Guardromon had.
"You...you scratched the paint..." "Evil digimon will be deleted! Warning Laser!" "Guardromon! You can stop! That isnt an enemy!" Ken was surprised by the kid's reaction both to what he just said and to the fight. That said it didn't take him more than a few seconds to figure it out. "I should have guessed ATLAS had more agents around here. I mean even the message practically said so." He could facepalm at his own stupidity but there more important things at hand.
Guardromon had gone completely berserk and even ignored the words of his partner. Hajime didn't like the thought of having to delete a non evil Digimon but it looked like he might not have a choice since he was about ATLAS protocol by fighting anyway and he didn't want to risk Ken getting hurt he secretly pre1pared to Digivolve again but luckily that didn't prove necessary, thanks to the arrival of BlackFlamedramon.
Thanks to what the other kid said Ken realized that there were no wild Digimon left and the whole thing was a misunderstanding. Expecting the situation to get defused easily he approached the two Digimon, just in time to see Guardromon go crazy while the other boy yelled at his partner to stop. Before he could say anything to help get things under control two things happened, with the timing seeming to be perfect to just be a coincidence. First there was a message about a Mega-level threat and then there was Herald's BlackFlamedramon easily stopping the fight.
While Ken had several things he wanted to ask he knew there was no time and instead copied his new ally by piggybacking on Hajime's back as he realized he never actually locked his bike or anything. "Man, I really hope my bike doesn't get stolen." He had already given up on getting to school that bday and didn't want to make his punishment worse by losing his bike.
Location Change: Highton-View Terrace
Finding the location of the attack was pretty easy since they just had to look for the fog. Of course when inside the fog things got significantly harder but it didn't take them long too find another ATLAS agent, this time without a fight breaking out. Guardromon's partner was already talking to her when Ken got off of Hajime's back.
The new girl proved pretty smart by trying to clear the fog with a wind spell even though it failed. Since they couldn't just get rid of the fog and look for the intruding Digimon that way things had gotten a lot harder. "Okay I know this is a stupid suggestion but I think we might have to split up." Ken quickly decided to elaborate on his plan a bit. "I mean we should clearly stay within hearing distance of each other, nut if we all look in the same place it'll take forever to find that Digimon."
