Sam, completely caught by surprise, swings to face the oncoming behemoth of a bird but is too late. Birdramon sweeps low to the ground and rams Sam at high speed.
Pain clouds Sam's mind as the toothed edge of Birdramon's beak stabs into her thigh.
"YAAGGHHH!" she screams in pain, dangling helplessly as Birdramon flies back up into the air.
"Ha! Not so smug now er?" taunts Birdramon.
"You WISH you damn overgrown turkey!" shouts back Sam in retaliation.
"YEAH! Birdramon got her!" shouts Sora from the ground happily.
"Not for long!"
With that, Sam drags herself painfully onto Birdramon's beak and lifts up her injured leg carefully off the external tooth.
"Hey!" exclaims Birdramon, realising Sam is getting free and shakes her head vigorously, trying to shake lose Sam.
But Sam has a grapple hold onto Birdramon's head and with a great heave, flings herself over onto Birdramon's back.
"Hey! Get off me!" shouts Birdramon frantically, flying around in attempts to dislodge Sam.
Sam holds onto Birdramon's feathers for dear life.
"Re...re...recover!" she gasps, weakened by the massive loss of blood from her wound and her jump onto Birdramon's back.
Immediately, her mark turns white and her wound closes up. Sam feels new energy run through her body and faces the challenge now fully charged.
"I'll get you for that, turkey." threatens Sam with a grin.
"Big threat for a little girl!" but Birdramon says it in false bravado, knowing that she is in the ultimate disadvantage.
With the other Digimon unable to attack without endangering Birdramon, Birdramon had to deal with Sam herself. She tries to dislodge Sam but performing incredible aerial acrobatic stunts. She flys in loops and stops and accelarates suddenly. Even trying to fly upside down! But Sam clings to her feathers with a death grip that wouldn't quit!
'What to do now?' wonders Sam, plated flat on Birdramon's back.
She knows she can easily Thunder Birdramon but she feels in the mood for something more...lucarative. Looking around, she spots Birdramon's wings and immediately, an idea formed in her brain.
Recalling how she picked some wing feathers off Pidgeys on their farm so that they couldn't fly away, she cautiously crawls to Birdramon's left wing. Feeling the sudden shift of weight, Birdramon panics but is still unable to do anything but fly in loops.
The journey is tiring but Sam finally reaches the wing. Crawling onto it, she starts to sort out for the primary feathers. However Birdrmon sees her chance and beats her wings furiously. Sam holds on but nearly slips. She hoists herself up again and furiously and plucks out Birdramon's large feathers.
"Hey! What the?" exclaims Birdramon frantically, fearing what Sam could be doing.
"There!" shouts Sam as she pulls out the last primary feather.
At first, Birdramon didn't notice but she was gradually losing control of her flight but with all the primary feathers plucked out of her left wing, she finds herself spinning out of control!
As Birdramon strives to fly, Sam crawls back onto her back.
"Not so cocky now eh?" says Sam sarcastically.
"Oh yeah?" shouts Birdramon and with a tremendous effort, manages to flip herself upside down and stops flapping!
With them falling towards the ground, Birdramon shouts triumphantly to Sam, "When we hit the ground, you'll be crushed!"
"I don't need YOUR wings to fly, turkey." says Sam softly.
"FLY!" she shouts and lifts her hand.
Her mark glows a light blue and immediately, pale ghost-like wings spring out of Sam's back and she let's go of Birdramon.
As Birdramon plunges aimlessly down, Sam flies along side Birdramon as if to mock her.
But before any of the other Digimon can attack, Sam suddenly grabs Birdramon's ears/feelers and dives down at supersonic speed.
Birdramon watches in horror as the ground rises up to meet her, the Digimon scramble to help but are too late.
As Sam is close to the ground, she veers up, letting go of Birdramon. With a huge crash, Birdramon slams into the earth headfirst. Huge clouds of dust and dirt bellow up as the monster bird topples.
The clouds clear to reveal Biyomon, unconcious and injured.
"Biyomon!" screams Sora, running up to the injured bird.
With tears streaming down her face, Sora gathers up Biyomon in her arms and attempts to wake her.
"Ha!" says Sam with satisfaction and flys back up into the air.
She looks around for her next target. The remaining flying Digimon, Kabuterimon and Angemon head for her, ready to attack.
Sam swings to face them and prepares an attack when...
"HARPOON TORPEDO!" roars Ikkakumon and fires torpedoes up at Sam from behind.
Pain clouds Sam's mind as the toothed edge of Birdramon's beak stabs into her thigh.
"YAAGGHHH!" she screams in pain, dangling helplessly as Birdramon flies back up into the air.
