"Where is it?!" Seth demands, gripping Dean by the collar, shaking him. "Where is the damn title belt at, you no good lowdown thief?"
Ambrose smirks at him with that infuriatingly aggravating look in his cool blue eyes, so many thoughts racing around in that lunatic mind of his that even he can't keep track of them all. "So, " he says simply, breaking free of Seth's hold and walking towards the other Digidestined scattered around, watching them. "If Seth was your leader while he was champion, I guess that means I should be your new leader since I'm now the champion..."
"That's not how it works," Miz says, staring at himself in the screen of his Digivice. "Luke chooses our leader, and if he's going to choose anyone to be Rollins' replacement, it clearly will be me."
Immediately a slew of voices cut in, arguing against this claim. Dean is forgotten for now as he leans down and picks up Lunamon, staring into her eyes. "Well, you're cute, ain't ya?"
Wade turns and glares at him. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" He grabs Lunamon and holds her possessively before turning to yell at Mike some more.
Dean shrugs and stares down at his Digivice. He still doesn't understand half of this, Seth calming down from his mental breakdown enough to actually explain some things before remembering they currently hate each other and leaving him to sink or swim on his own. Because of this, he's yet to meet his partner. He shakes the device, wondering if it'll be enough, when a new voice joins the cacophony.
"CHILDREN!" It must be the man named Luke, considering how the others immediately fall quiet and turn to stare at him. "Hello, then." He turns to Dean. "You are our new Digidestined. Welcome to the group. I assume you're wondering where your partner is at. Since you were a last minute decision, when I realized that more Digidestined were needed, I had no time to transport your partner to earth with the device. Allow me to rectify that. Dean, meet Petitmon."
He steps aside and Dean sees a small blue creature with horns and tiny wings that flap when he sees Dean, sending him off of the ground a few inches. "Well, look at you," Dean mutters, dropping to his knees as his new partner hops up to him, eyes locked on his. "Hello." The others continue bickering amongst themselves while he holds his partner and examines him. "Kinda weird, ain't ya? But that's ok, I am too." The little Digimon nuzzles into him and he smiles.
Luke finally gets the other Digidestined to shut up and carry on figuring out the latest mission, the group of them walking through what they call the Virus sector, when Petitmon starts to whimper. Before anyone could say anything- "ERASE CLAW!"
Dean scrambles, gaping as the ground is deleted under his feet, catering all around them. He regains his balance, squeezing Petitmon tightly. The others are struggling too but for whatever reason, the tall android Digimon has set his sights on Dean, one claw poking way too close to Petitmon, who tries to defend themselves by throwing a ball of flames at his face.
He tosses it aside, however, and aims his sharp claw towards Petitmon, clearly planning on deleting him, when-
"ICE BLAST!" The attack is huge, it freezes Dean's arm a little as its intensity wears off, Cyberdramon's bdoy giving to the chilly attack, the evil creature deleting as abruptly as he'd arrived.
Dean looks up as the lengthy sea creature sneering down at him before he realizes- Seth is nearby, Seth has his Digivice in hand as a stream of power comes from the Digimon and it slowly returns to a smaller size- Betamon. Seth stares at him coolly. "Welcome to the Digiworld," he says. "Don't say I never did anything for you."
He turns on his heel, Dean watching him go, absolutely understanding nothing of what Seth's done the past few weeks. He sighs and shakes his head, turning to follow the group back to the portal to return them to Luke. He's not sure what to think about the Digiworld, but he's pretty sure he'll come to enjoy it with time.
His smirk grows.
