Wade frowns. "Now we've lost Dakota," he tells Lunamon, stroking her head. "I'm very glad Luke approved the new digidestined or this would be awkward. We still need to find their partners though. This has all been so rushed, there's been no time to unite them yet."
Amari Miller and Wendy Choo stand close together, blinking as they take in the digiworld. "This is trippy," Amari says quietly, turning in a slow circle.
"Yeah, it really is," Wendy responds, clinging to her pillow. "So we're supposed to fight evil here? How?"
"I suppose we get little creatures to help us," Elektra says, examining Lunamon curiously. "Are they all cute and small? They must not be that powerful, hm?"
"Not necessarily," Wade tells her. "And even if they are, they can grow into truly monstrous beasts. No point in judging a digimon by their rookie cover, after all."
"What does she grow into?" Joaquin asks, pointing at Lunamon.
Wade smirks. "Want to show them, Lunamon?"
She hums, digivolving through Gatomon to Sanzomon, then all the way to Shakamon.
Wade sneers as the very loud Legado Del Fantasma fall silent almost immediately, the flood of Spanish quieting to awed silence. "Holy shit," Mendoza says once he remembers how to speak again.
"They all change sizes that drastically," Elektra breathes out. "Wow. I... can't wait to meet mine." Her eyes gleam with danger, something brewing beneath the surface that makes even Joaquin and Raul look uncomfortable as they shift away from her.
Luke finally appears a moment later, walking out of his cavern and examining the new digidestined. "Hello. I am Luke, the maintainer of the digiworld. I apologize that we haven't found your partners yet, but soon, I promise. Everything since Ancient Wisemon has been a bit of a mess, but I am glad to meet you all, and the next time I see you, I promise I'll have everything sorted. I would suggest you not go to far away, for safety purposes, but for now you can tour around this island, Wade and Lunamon can help you to explore a little bit. Sound good?"
There's a murmur of agreement and Luke grins. "Perfect. I will see you all soon. Have a good, safe time." He walks back into his cave and Wade motions them on, wandering around in the grass, heading out onto the sand, exploring and splashing around in the water briefly.
It's not as exciting as some of them had hoped so, Wade has no doubt, but it'll all come together soon enough, and the new Digidestined will slowly start to fit it just as well as the ones before them had.
At least he hopes so, anyway.
