Kumbhiramon still seems unflappable. Nonplussed by MetalSeadramon, by Beelzebumon, by Apollomon, and Lilamon, Bakemon and Garudamon. Nothing seems to be breaking through his cool. Seth nor Nakamura quite seem sure what to do next, exchanging glances. Their individual discomfort isn't hindered by any speech barrier or anything else.

"I'm going to destroy you now," Kumbhiramon suddenly says, all eyes locking on him as he skitters forward on his thin legs. They blink and it happens- his pestle blasts forward, explodes against MetalSeadramon, past into Beelzebumon, into Apollomon, into Lilamon, Bakemon, Garudamon. All of their partners, in a blink of an eye, reduced to baby level creatures, collapsed on the ground, moaning piteously, near deletion.

Seth swallows. Hard. Can't fathom how any of this is happening, why things keep swinging from salvageable to absolutely ruined in the blink of an eye. Especially this close to the end- when they only had one left... He wavers, staggers. Wishes Dean were here.

But they're not alone- not entirely. AJ Styles is nearby, and Aiden English, and Xavier Woods. He'd forgotten about the Smackdown men, since they'd hidden themselves as best as they could, their partners still too little and defenseless to be much help in this fight. But now they show themselves, Xavier stands strong and sure in front of Seth, while Aiden blocks Rusev from view of the much shorter Digimon, but it's AJ who makes them all goggle when he darts between the still shaky, weakened James Ellsworth and Carmella, a maddened look in his dark eyes. "You're not touchin' any of 'em," he informs Kumbhiramon with the confidence and ease only a champion could contain.

Thrusting out his digivice, the other two mimick his actions and they watch as their partner digimon get covered in a glow of power. "You know what's fascinating about our partners?" Xavier asks, excited but covering it with an eager kind of pride. "Even though most Digimon have baby forms, ours don't. They last at these forms forever, because they contain a special kind of power. A special ability. So you may attack with the intension of weakening them like you did our friends' partners, but you won't get too far."

Kumbhiramon roars. Which is a ridiculous sound to come from such a small creature. But no one seems disturbed by it, holding their ground and waiting as the three digimon finally snap free from their cocoon of power. Pekomon, Modoki Betamon, Jammingmon, they're all higher levels now, more powerful. Stingmon is the only one somewhat recognizable, Seth swallowing hard as a bird type Digimon gawks over at him for a moment before flapping its bright, multi-colored wings and flies towards Kumbhiramon, closely followed by Stingmon and a strange creature seemingly only held together by zippers- properly named Dezipmon. Despite their size and Kumbhiramon's power, they run circles around him- they're young, and powerful, and fresh data while he's old, and stuck in his ways, unwilling to concede to these newer digimon types.

So all he can do is try to fight around Stingmon and Roamon, eyes widening when he realizes what exactly Dezipmon is doing, a sharp sound of something zipping rending the air as pain stabs up Kumbhiramon's side. "NO!" he screams, twisting around and slapping at Dezipmon but then Stingmon is there, stabbing him through with massive spikes on his arms. "N- no!" He's losing data, he can feel his strength slowly leaving him and he screams, growing disoriented when his scream changes, Roamon floating in front of him and pouring sound waves out over his body, changing his voice into that of a weak squeak. Another zipping sound pounds through Kumbhiramon's consciousness and his legs give out, sending him collapsing to the ground below as Stingmon sends a volley of spikes at him, each one colliding in a kind of disgusting explosion that sends more of his precious data out onto the evening wind.

He tries to cry out again- but it comes out as little more than a pathetic croak, Kumbhiramon's eyes widening as he realizes these three pathetic creatures have beaten him. Another harsh pain rips up his body, between his ears, and he scrambles, the last of his life leaving him with a wave of Stingmon's antennae. He shatters into little pieces and just like that, everything is over. All of the weeks of pain and torment, uncertainty and horror, and the twelve digimon that were after them are all vanquished. Leaving just one little Calumon behind, her eyes wide and fixed on Seth as he gently lays her down. "Go on now," he says kindly, feeling no ill will towards her as tears fill her eyes and she quickly runs away, eager to not be anyone's pawn ever again.

Xavier laughs as Seth claps him on the shoulder, AJ kneeling near James and saying something like only he gets to torment James like that, maybe Ambrose, and Rusev is searching Aiden incredulously for any harm, a bemused smile on his face as he tries to piece together his limited English reserves to thank the man properly for saving him.

Their digimon are still weak, will need time to recover and regroup, and Seth isn't sure what will end up happening by the time they return here, but he looks forward to facing it with all of his fellow Digidestined and their partners.
