"Who are you?" Ciampa asks, an unimpressed look on his face as he peers down at the digimon who had greeted them as soon as they came through the portal. "Where's Luke?" Wade is standing behind him, an equally impatient look on his face. For now, it's just the two of them, until Ciampa decides- with Luke's input- who else deserves to be on the NXT Digidestined team.

For now, however, they wait for an answer from the bearded digimon that clearly is waiting for them, frowning down at him. He shuffles forward and peers up at them calmly. "I am Jijimon," he greets them. "I help pass on information for Luke as needed. He is currently busy, so I am here to discuss with you your team's future."

Ciampa and Wade exchange glances before focusing back on him. "What are your thoughts on that, then?"

"Luke has a list of potential Digidestined," Jijimon says. "I will give it to you, you may look it over and inform me what you think, and I will pass the news along to Luke at first opportunity."

"Fine," Ciampa sighs, taking the list and placing it in his pocket. "In the meanwhile, what are we supposed to do? Some easy mission?"

"Afraid not," Jijimon tells them. "Luke has already had situations with two men teams being vulnerable, so until you can find new members, he wants you to remain safe on earth. I apologize, I know you wish to help around here, but if something happens to either of you, that is not helpful to anyone."

"Fine," Ciampa huffs. "I'll get on this list as soon as I can," he promises, patting the paper in his pockets.

"Thank you," Jijimon tells him, watching as he and Barrett leave through the portal. Turning, he looks ahead and shuffles forward back to the caves. "Good luck to you all."
