WaruSeadramon and Vajaramon had already been manhandled, sent back to their rookie forms. Alberto and Dean both look horrified, holding onto Gabumon and Otamamon as Zack and Dolph step between them and the disgustingly tall Digimon who had bisected both WaruSeadramon and Vajaramon with his impossibly sharp tail, punching them both so quickly that no one could see it. "We're going to need to work together, bro," Zack says, staring up at the tall, armored creature. "Otherwise, I don't know..."

"Yeah," Dolph says, staring up at his partner. "Beelzebumon-"

"Got it, Dolph. Come on, Seraphimon," he says, racing towards Arresterdramon Superior Mode.

"Hold on!" But it's too late, by the time Seraphimon has flown forward, Beelzebumon is already caught by Arresterdramon's tail, the sword on the end uncomfortably close to his throat. "BEELZEBUMON!" Seraphimon flies forward and aims his hands at the massive digimon. "NOW!" Lightning blasts from the sky and slams down upon Arresterdramon, his entire body twitching and spasming until he collapses to his knee and releases Beelzebumon. "I told you to wait!"

"Well, excuse me," Beelzebumon grunts.

"Bros!" Zack yells at them. "Keep it together!"

"Yeah, what he said!" Dolph says. "We need to defeat him before he destroys another village!" The smoldering wreckage of homes and the gate that once kept the inhabitants safe is behind them, making it even harder for them to breathe and see, their eyes watering more and more with each passing minute.

Beelzebumon sighs and brushes off his body before looking over at Seraphimon. "Ready?"

"Yep." They fly forward together this time, dodging Arresterdramon's various weapons. Seraphimon looks for a weak spot and finds it, digging his sword through the armor plates, which allows Beelzebumon to follow up and slam the mouth of his gun into Arresterdramon's body, shooting repeatedly as Seraphimon slashes more and more with his knife, trying to weaken, trying to find a vulnerable spot. Finally it works and Arresterdramon roars out in pain, trying again and again to reach them with his tail, his claws, something... anything. But he fails and, before any of them can really digest what all's been happeining, he shatters into hundreds of pieces, Seraphimon's sword making the process go by faster than usual.

Patamon and Impmon land smoothly upon dedigivolving, and joins the other. There's nothing they can do for the ruined village, and Gabumon and Otamamon look so weak and scared that it's heartbreaking for all of them. "Let's get out of here," Zack says wearily, resting a hand on Patamon's warm side. "C'mon, bros."

Dean nor Alberto seem that thrilled as they hug their partners, so Zack and Dolph stay quiet as well, peering at each other and hoping that things will get easier soon. We reach the highest level in digivolution and we still run the risk of getting outmatched most times... why? What are we missing? Uncertain, Zack vows to figure it out as he holds the digivolution portal open for all of them. "I don't know how, but we will all make it out of this fine. I just need time to think..."
