Seth groans. "Do you think we can just stay here for awhile?" he wonders, lounging on MegaSeadramon's sun-warmed back, eyes closed. The others are scattered back on the sandy beach, enjoying the warmth after another successful mission spent rescuing a village from some bitter Black Gaogamon, and the peace is badly needed.
"If you want," MegaSeadramon says, his voice deep and content as he swims lazily around the glistening water. Seth nods and settles in more comfortably, not even minding that his clothes and hair are getting wet.
They've made a couple of slow circles around the lake, MegaSeadramon making this curious little aquatic noise which leaves Seth even sleepier and pliant, when they stop in a sudden jerk. Seth squints an eye open and looks around, startled out of his sleepy state. "MegaSeadramon? What happened?"
He's just sat up when his partner shudders. Dedigivolves, which sends Seth flailing down into the water. And it's only when Seth swims back up to the top, spitting and incredulous, that he sees the trident stabbing out of the rippling water, his eyes wide with dawning horror. "Betamon!" His partner is gone, had sunk under, he assumes in whatever this attack is... but before Seth can say or do anything, a head appears from the water and stares at him cruelly.
"Trident Fall!" There's a gleam of light, the trident slamming straight towards Seth at unimaginable speeds, and then everything goes dark.
Back at short, the others all remain oblivious to there being a problem until Palmon shifts uncomfortably, nudging Alicia. "I think something's wrong," she murmurs, her eyes fixed in the distance as she measures the wind around them.
Alicia sits up and looks around with a frown, not noticing anything until... "Hey, where's Seth?"
