Quarter Quelled
1.

The force of the explosion sweeps them off their feet and out of that world.

Takuya reaches out; his claws grasped a small hand - Chakkmon's - and he hears Beowolfmon shouting and metal grinding - his sword, Takuya thinks, trying to find something firm to dig into. Except they're blown into the sky and there is only air, cold and grey.

And then there isn't even that. Just a blackness that swallows all sight and sound, and Takuya tries to scream - where are Izumi and Junpei? - but his breath is stuck in his throat and he only chokes instead.

He chokes until everything else vanishes from his mind, until something hits him on the head and he blinks, his ears ringing, at the elevator shaft he's lying in - and the elevator's moving up, slow and groaning with the weight of five human children on board.

The same elevator that brought them to the digital world in the first place.
