Meicrackmon looks unimpressed as she steps forward. Energy forms in the palms of her hands and she looks over the digidestined through the furry bangs covering her eyes. "Which of you are brave?" she wonders, chuckling darkly as the humans look back and forth, trying to figure out who's healthy enough to go after her.
James is still down, only just regaining consciousness, Shinsuke and Carmella surrounding him, trying to comfort him, Rusev standing watch between them and the other digimon, when Seth and Dolph step forward as one. They exchange frustrated, angry glances, when Seth shakes his hed. "We can't do this alone," he admits. "I hate you, you hate me, but the fact of the matter is we're all that's left in this situation. James needs help and we've already been fighting a long time, so we need to work together." Dark eyes search Dolph bitterly. "Can you accomplish that, do you think?"
"Can you?" he smirks.
MetalSeadramon and Beelzebumon takes the choice away from them as they lunge forward and rush towards Meicrackmon. She laughs and responds by lifting her arm, tossing lures around and creating doubles of herself to assist in fighting them off. She spins when both digimon are distracted by the fakes of her, stabbing at them with her stinger. Both avoid, snarling at her, and she laughs uproariously at the fear on their faces. "Such foolish creatures, thinking you can make a truce and get the upperhand on me. Like this. I will ruin ALL OF YOU!" she announces, shooting her tail off towards Seth and Dolph.
Seth freezes for only a second before tackling Dolph away, the attack only just missing them, her tail stabbing into the dirt. "Dammit," Seth grunts, forcing himself away from Dolph and turning to look back at her in disgust. She doesn't give up, however, her tail rushing back at him, and Seth flinches- just for it to stop a few inches away from his face, Beelzebumon shooting wildly and shredding her tail apart, data filling the mid-afternoon sky as it deletes.
She screams in horror, grabbing at her tail. "No! You asshole! What did you just do to me?!" Panicking, she surrounds herself with more copies, but there's nothing to be done for it- her tail is gone, the stinger is shredded into pieces, and there's nothing left her to do but crouch in pain and humiliation as her lack of actual strength comes back to haunt her.
"Parlor tricks," MetalSeadramon tells her. "No real fighting spirit, no ability to defend yourself. You've lost the only opportunity you've actually had. We rid this world of you, and then we only have one of you left to take care of."
"It sounds pretty damn good to me," Beelzebumon says, reloading his gun.
"Me too," MetalSeadramon agrees. "Ready?"
"Whenever you are," he nods, flanking MetalSeadramon. Energy pours from MetalSeadramon's cannon, overwhelming Meicrackmon, and Beelzebumon aims at her chest, locking on and quickly shooting. She screams as the bullet rends through her already weakened form, deleting her.
Seth and Dolph exhale before turning back to the other digidestined, to the sneering Kumbhiramon waiting nearby. "You're next," Seth tells him.
They all freeze, watching as he begins laughing mockingly, the wind echoing with it and leaving them all uncomfortable and worried.
