With Raw and Smackdown now working together, the wrestlers seem a little more secure, the two teams staying nearby as they travel to the next trouble area on their maps. Shinsuke and Seth are walking side by side, the other digidestined trailing along behind them. "Do you think we should do something differently?" Seth wonders. "You're the one with more experience as a digidestined than the rest of us. Is there something we can be doing to fix the digiports, or...?"

Nakamura mulls it over. Shrugs. "I don't think so, no," he says. "We were never allowed to affect the digiports when we were digidestined. Can only wait, I suppose."

Seth sighs. "That's not my strong suit, nor the strong suit of many of the others behind me."

Shinsuke has a bizarre, small smile on his face. "I am well aware," he says simply. They've walked in silence for about ten more minutes when Nakamura stops and looks around, as if he senses something wrong. "I don't like this," he mumbles to himself, tapping his fingers against his lips and looking around uncomfortably. "Something is... strange."

Seth glances around too, not exactly seeing anything... when he hears something, a rustling noise... and then the sun overhead is blocked out, a chill creeping down Seth's spine as Shinsuke turns and glances at him, eyes wide with horror. "MOVE, baka!" he snaps, lunging forward and trying to tackle Seth out of the way... just to realize he's reacted too late, both men pinned down to the ground by Maildramon. A large, dragon type digimon covered in Digizoid armor.

Seth gasps, spitting out blood onto the ground before him, and Shinsuke curses out in Japanese, digging his fingers into the dirt. "HELP!" Seth finds the oxygen to cry out, barely able to lift his head and choking down dirt.

The Digidestined run up and circle the horrible situation, staring at each other. "...What... what do we do?" Mike tries to step forward, get a closer look, when Maildramon snarls and whips his tail at him, sharp and promising many dangerous things while Mike looks on in disgusted awe, trying to figure out what to do next, unaware of what's speeding towards him.

No one is close enough to stop this, or strong enough to help Seth and Shinsuke, blood dripping down Seth's mouth, Shinsuke passing out next to him. Shane, however, only has eyes for what's speeding towards his partner right now, realizing the danger that he's in. "MIKE!"
