Their second time in the Digiworld doesn't feel as smothering as the first, although Andre still isn't sure what to expect. Luke greets them with a smile, welcoming the Digimon cheerfully as they wave and call out to him. "There is a village here, with a distress signal," he explains after a few moments, pointing at the map on Andre's digivice. "That's your mission for the day."

Andre nods, examining the map for a little longer, before turning towards the waiting Digivice. "Alright," he says. "Let's go do this."

Everyone holds their digivices out, calling out as one. "Digiport, open!"

It doesn't feel possible, still, Andre closing his eyes and trying not to completely lose it as they take form once more on the other side, struggling just to breathe. "I hate that," Kiana mumbles, brushing her fingers through her hair and huffing in disgust.

They all ignore her, though Thea does mumble, "It is pretty disconcerting" before the group heads out towards the dot flashing on their screens. They've just about made it, Andre barely paying attention to the various comments made by either the various wrestlers or their partners, when there's a flash of blue and something slams into Andre's midsection. He lets out a breathless 'OOF' before sinking to his knees, wrapping an arm around his stomach, when Duke and Thea rush to his side.

"Mr. Chase!"

He shakes his head, groaning. "I'm ok. I think. What the fuck was that?"

They all turn to look, only seeing a strangely shaped, blue dinosaur like creature snapping at them. "Gaossmon," Kokuwamon offers from his place by Duke's side. "Vicious little virus digimon, but I don't know why he would attack Mr. Chase."

"No earthly idea-" Andre starts to say when a stream of fire cuts him off and he ducks aside. "Oh dammit, come on! What is this thing's problem?"

But before they can ask, he turns and runs off, stopping every now and again to look back at them.

"What a menace," Duke says, but Kokuwamon moves to follow it. "Hey, where are you going?"

"I think something's wrong," Kokuwamon says. "It's like Gaossmon wants us to follow it."

Duke frowns, but follows along with his partner, the other members of Chase U tagging along for the ride, more out of curiosity than anything. "Wha-" He stopped short, seeing another Gaossmon laying face down in a stream. "Oh shit, is that little guy ok?"

"I think this is why he led us here," Kokuwamon says grimly, approaching the water. "We need to do something, Gaossmon can't swim, they can drown very easily-"

Before he can say anything, Duke has waded in, snagging the little guy and hoisting him back onto dry land.

A rough barking sound stops him and he looks over to find the first Gaossmon running headlong towards them. "Aw shit," he mumbles, but nothing happens as the little guy lunges towards his motionless friend and begins nudging and barking at him, until finally a stream of water comes up out of the other digimon's mouth, and he slowly regains consciousness. "Well," Duke says, carefully moving away from them both. "I guess he's going to be ok."

"You saved him!" Kokuwamon tells his partner, relief in his voice. "Good job, Duke."

"Yeah, quick thinking, Duke," Andre says, clapping the man on the back. "Come on, let's get back to the others before they get in more trouble."

"Yes, Mr. Chase," Duke and Thea chime in, both relieved to leave the two wild dinosaur like digimon behind as they nudge and bark at each other, too distracted to pay much attention to the digidestined slowly creeping away from them.
