Between Rhea's various injury issues, and everyone getting locked out of the digiworld for whatever reason, it feels like it's been forever since she's last been through the digiport. So she forgets how disorienting it is, staggering as she's reformed in this other world, Tapirmon leaning against her in an attempt to support her. She breathes deeply and brushes at the clammy sweat clinging to her forehead. "Crap," she murmurs.
"You alright?" one of the Forbidden Door digidestined asks, and she shakes some of the hair out of her eyes to look over at the guy staring back at her, burying his hands in the dark hoodie he seems to wear more often than not.
"Yeah," she says dryly. "Thanks."
He nods, casting one last glance at her before turning to join the group of AEW people clustered a few feet away.
She straightens up and sighs, rotating her neck with a grimace. "Ready to go see what's happening?" she asks, peering down at Tapirmon.
"Yes," he says with a sort of eagerness that makes her smile.
"Then let's go," she says, reaching down to pick him up. He settles on her shoulder as they walk over to the others.
"Well, we made it," Seth says with some relief. "It looks... normal enough. I expected Luke to be here to greet us though. Stay alert, it feels weird."
He's not wrong. Rhea's sensed it too, it's too quiet. Too calm. She's looking around with a frown when there's a soft noise behind her and she turns to find the Forbidden Door Digidestined clustered around someone kneeling into the dirt, making a strange, painful sound. "Seth-"
"No!" Ariya Daivari suddenly yells out. "No, no! No!"
Before anyone can say anything, or figure out what's going on, everything explodes.
