Kevin Owens isn't sure what's worse. Being stranded on a strange world, surrounded by people wanting to kill you... or being stranded here with a bunch of people too stupid to listen to you when you say "Stay with the others or you'll die a painful, gruesome death that consists in dying of data energy here. Do you want that?"

They all shook their heads, but here we are. Kevin alone trudging from one indication on the map shining off of his digivice to the next, demanding they regroup by Luke's. He's just came across the last on his list- Carmella and James Ellsworth, when he realizes they have a decent reason for not responding to their digivices. A monstrous blue digimon with a crown hovers over them, looking like he's already attacked a few times, if their wet bodies and faint shivers are any indication. On top of that, James is bleeding from his forehead and Carmella seems unnaturally worried about him, gripping his arm whenever he moves like he's about to get up.

It's an Otamamon X-Antibody version, Kevin hears Bearmon mumble and wonders what Ambrose would think of this before quietly instructing his partner to move. Of course Carmella, tiring of holding onto an ailing James, rushes forward then and gets in Otamamon's face, lecturing him about who she is and how dare he do this to her, to James to- Otamamon's rearing up to headbutt her when Gryzmon intercedes, pushes Carmella away none too gently and takes the damage on full force.

Carmella screams and James instinctively reacts, grabbing for her, but the damage is already done- Gryzmon's eyes glow as he repeats the damage done to him back onto Otamamon, his claws then slashing through Otamamon's body, causing him to delete immediately. She and James gape, holding onto each other numbly from the ground until Kevin joins them. "Stop sitting on the floor, we have to move," he snaps, relieved when both actually listen to him and get up, following him back towards Luke's. They're unnaturally quiet and he's mostly pleased with it. But they're a team, and the two of them, and all of the others, all have to act like it if they want to survive.

"Next time I tell you both to stay still and not move until I return, what are you going to do?" Owens asks, stopping short and not even grunting when James walks straight into him.

"..We're gonna stay where you tell us to," Carmella mumbles, eyes downcast.

"Exactly. I hope you mean it, or else," Kevin tells her grimly. "I know it's a beautiful world with a lot of impressive sights to see, but there's also a ot of evil waiting for the chance to destroy you. So you need to keep yourself safe, in case something like this happens again."

Carmella and James exchange glances. "Right. Of course," he says, squaring his shoulders destpie how he has to squint his eyes just to focus on Kevin. "We'll make sure to follow your suggestion. Right, Princess?"

"Yeah sure," Carmella sighs. "Can we please just go home now."

It takes another twenty minutes for htem to find Luke's and relay the message, glad that most of the others had listened and arrived here. "I suppose as soon as Ziggler arrives, you all can leave whenever you want," Luke tells them.

It's music to Kevin's ears.
