Seth isn't even sure how long they've been gliding over the sea by now, his mind wandering as he tries not to focus on Cass' uneven breathing, muttering under his breath like the surf and the wind is enough to drown out his insistent chatter. Like without Enzo around to fill the silence around him, he feels the need to take on the mantle, even though he utterly fails at it and only serves to annoy people even more than his tag partner, which Seth hadn't thought was possible. Seth's looking at his digivice when it all just becomes too much and he slips down Seadramon's neck to come face to face with Cass. "Shut up, can't you just be quiet for one minute? I'm trying to think here, to find your obnoxious little partner, but you just keep muttering and whispering and... my God, man, make yourself useful so I'm not the only one doing something!"

Cass looks confused, Hyokomon's beak working silently as well. "I haven't been saying anything," Cass says, his brows furrowing as his hands close into fists. "You losing it, Rollins? Maybe we should force Ambrose back in as leader of this group too."

Seth snaps, "Shut up!" then looks up, trying to find the cause of the noise. What he sees leaves him pale and wide eyed. "Oh shit," he breathes, causing Cass to look up too.

"Son of a bitch," he hisses out, the tall, armor plated digimon floating overhead leaving them both shaking in awe and fear. "Hyokomon-"

"He's not strong enough," Seth snaps. "Seadramon, go!" The warp digivolution takes away their support and Cass finds himself in the water before he can even blink, grabbing at Hyokomon as he struggles and thrashes around, feathers wet and weighed down with water now. Seth floats without a problem, watching as MetalSeadramon tries to get the first shot, just to be batted away like he's nothing by a beam shot from the vicious creature's gun. Missiles and blasts follow in rapid recession and Seth can barely look, the blinding lights leaving him struggling just to navigate his way in the choppy water.

"RIVER OF POWER!" MetalSeadramon responds after a moment, cranking his neck around and slamming a stream of energy at MagnaGarurumon, causing him to falter. The two mega levels begin exchanging attacks like they're nothing, fighting hard to get the upperhand, each blow doing nothing to dissuade them until a blow cracks MetalSeadramon's armor almost in two and he floats there, in shock. MagnaGarurumon takes advantage of this by slamming his gun blaster down into his armor plates, twisting and tearing at them even further as he shoots deep into MetalSeadramon's body.

"NO!" Seth screams, realizing that he's about to lose his partner, MetalSeadramon's eyes closed as his body convulses. "METALSEADRAMON! Get free! C'mon!"

Cass almost feels bad for him as he clings to Hyokomon, wondering why MagnaGarurumon is doing this... when time sees to freeze. Another monsterous creature appears, staring MagnaGarurumon down.

Seth breathes raggedly, staring at him. He thinks he looks familiar, like... Alicia or someone had described him already, with his features so similiar to Garurumon, massive golden swords poking out of his hands. MetalSeadramon abruptly shines bright and dedigivolves to a small black creature with nothing but eyes and a round body, sinking into the water until Seth swallows down his fear and dives forward, ignoring the massive digimon overhead as he saves his partner and hugs him close, tears filling his eyes as he listens to Botamon's faint mutters. "I've got you, you're safe," he tells the baby, trying to swim further away from the site of the battle.

"Oh, my poor child," Ancient Garurumon tells MagnaGarurumon. "Defiled like so many other digimon recently... I wish I had the power to cleanse you, but alas, it would probably just be a short fix and we would be back at square one with you. Best to start over from a clean slate, hm?" He lifts his swords. "Please forgive me." Two slashes downwards with the swords and MagnaGarurumon deletes in a burst of data.

"Excuse me," Cass yells up at him in desperation before he disappears, still clinging to his partner. "Can you tell us anything about Enzo Amore's location?"

"One of your fellow digidestined is very close to finding him," Ancient Garurumon offers. "You should be able to track them using your digivice. Farewell and good luck." He disappears as quickly as he'd come and Cass swallows, staring down at Hyokomon before looking up at Seth and snagging him by the collar, swimming determinedly to shore to begin the search all over again for Enzo.
