''You saved me again.'' Noelle breathed quietly to Tyler with a blush.

'I couldn't live with myself if I had let you get hurt.'' Tyler replied as Angemon and Togemon continued to chase down the Goblimon.

''I've had enough of this! ANGEL STAFF!" Angemon yelled as he stpun his taff around, knocking the Goblimon in the air.

''My turn! MACH JAB!'' Togemon screamed as her fist slammed into a row of Goblimon, sending them all into airborne data.

''I think we should move, Noelle.'' Tyler said as he helped Noelle to her feet and the two ran to a safer position.

''Thats the second time he risked his life to save me.'' Noelle thought as Tyler pulled her along.

''Are you ok?'' Tyler asked her as Noelle fell over.

''Yeah, my ankle hurts a little but I can manage.'' Noelle replied as Tyler picked her up in his arms and ran a little faster, hiding behind a large bit of debirs.

Chapter 13: First Time's a Charm

"Damn these insects!" Leon yelled, full of anger for the destruction of his home.

"Excuse me?" Stingmon turned to me as he continued to destroy more Goblimon. Lina giggled as Leon shot daggers at Stingmon.

"Now's not the time to joke." Wizarmon said firmly as he lifted his staff. "I'll end this right now. TERROR ILLUSION!" Suddenly, the Goblimon found themselves in a shadowy room, scared and unable to escape. "Now's your chance."

"Alright!" Jason laughed.

"SPIKING FINISH!"
"MEGA FLAME!"
"THUNDER CLOUD!"
"LIGHTNING PAW!"
"PRICKLY BANG BANG!"
"HEAVEN'S KNUCKLE!"

Just as quickly they appeared, the Goblimon vanished. "I wonder what all that was about..." Lina trailed off as Leon found the front of the store missing.

"Dammit!" he shouted throught the streets, some of the homeless adults eyeing the long-haired teen.

"Calm down, everything's alright." Noelle said calmly as Tyler and Kaili nodded.

"Hahahahaha..." A voice rang out. "That one's a potty mouth, eh?"

"What the!" Stingmon said as he eyed the area, not finding anything.

"You won't find me, bug. I'm only a guide, a prophet, if you will. I've come to deliver a message." The voice echoed.

"Prophet? Guide? What's the message?" Greymon roared.

"I carry a simple message. The Generals of The Chosen have set up base and identified you all as a threat. The five generals and their Digimon have set themselves up in the cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Nashville. Within each city, a general resides, and each one holds a key card to enter the base of the leader. This is my message to you, Tamers. The first general is located inside of the Statue of Liberty..."

"Whoa...We gotta get on that!" Jason said with glee.

"Yeah, it's a good thing that we ain't far from the Statue of Liberty." Leon said as he grabbed a card. "CARD SLASH! DigiBeetle activate!"

All of the tamers sat quietly in the single DigiBeetle as Leon drove towards the Statue of Liberty. ''Why is everyone so quiet?'' Kaili inquired as Tailmon rummaged through a box of doughnuts.

''Yeah..." Tailmon laughed between bites, "someone start off a conversation.''

''I got an Conversation starter!'' Jason yelled as Leon sweat-dropped.

''Okay! Can I ask why The Chosen are Noelle?'' Jason said as Leon officialy got annoyed.

''Jason! Shut the hell up! That's none of your damn business!'' Leon yelled as Jason stuck his tongue out.

''No!'' he replied. ''What did that guy mean about taking you back to your father?''

Noelle turned away and lowered her head. "Noelle!" Palmon sighed.

"I'm alright." Noelle replied, shaken from the question at hand.

"Jason, you asshole!" Leon shouted as he swerved a bit to make Jason slam into the side of the DigiBeetle.

''What? I just wanted to know why they're so interested in her and what her father has to do with them!'' Jason replied. ''I mean if we're gonna die trying to protect her ass, can't we at least get an explanation?"

Tears began to flow down Noelle's face as Tyler laid his hand on her shoulder. ''You don't have to worry about that jackass, Noelle.'' Tyler said as he wiped her tears from her eyes. ''I'll protect you no matter what.''

Noelle looked into Tyler's eyes and laid her head on his shoulder.

''Uh-oh!'' Patamon said in amazement.

''What?'' Palmon asked.

''I think our tamers are developing feelings for each other.'' Patamon smiled.

''Well I guess then the two of us will become closer and become better partners in battle!'' Palmon laughed happily as Patamon just nodded.

"Aww...Is that sweet?" Lina said as she noticed Tyler and Noelle. "So are you guys a couple?"

"Wha!" Jason said as he noticed Tyler holding Noelle's hand.

"Wow, You just met her yesterday and already wedding bells?" Leon laughed as he sped through the dusty streets.

"Ah, shut it, Worm-Boy." Tyler said with a smirk.

"This is interesting." Leon smiled as the tamers continued on their way.

''What do you mean?'' said Jason. ''It's not anymore interesting than you and Lina.''

''Wh-Wh-What are you talking bout?'' Leon mumbled nervously.

''Ha!'' Tyler laughed. ''Looks like someone's crushing on Lina.''

''Oh really?'' Lina said smiling.

''I-I-I don't know what you guys are talking about!'' Leon replied.

''Oh come on!'' Kaili laughed. "I've only been here one day and notice it!"

''You two are like love bugs.'' Wormon laughed as Leon scolded him as Lina put her hand on Leon's leg and winked.

"Tell me Leon! How deep is your love for me?'' Lina joked as blood trickled out of Leon's nose. "Aww, don't get so bent outta shape. I like you too."

''Aww, isn't that sweet, Noelle?'' Tyler laughed.

''Yeah, too bad Leon isn't man enough to show his feelings.''

"DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!" Leon yelled as the others burst into tears from laughter.

Lina smiled to herself thinking, "So he likes me too? Ah, I dunno..."

"Are we there yet?" Jason whined for the tenth time.

"We'll get there soon if you'd just shut your damn trap!" Leon shot back.

"Agumon, they don't appreciate us." Jason said in a pout.

"That's not true, they're just having fun joking with you." Agumon smiled.

"Ah, I guess you're right." Jason said, smirking.

"Guess what guys?" Lina laughed. "We're here!"
