The creature is impossible to look upon with the average human eye. There are two opposing faces on its arms, but beyond that, its features are unfathomable. Chaosmon eases to the ground amongst the digidestined and squeeches, darkness flowing through its body. His voice echoes to the heavens above as he struggles, writhing and sinking down into the grass. Time catches up once more and Shane gasps, looking up and gaping at the creature. "Wha... what is that..."
"I'm not sure, but it's in pain," AJ gasps, their eyes locking as Shane struggles to move closer. "No, Shane, be careful!"
"I'm fine-" His words die away as Chaosmon turns to glare at him, slashing one palm across his chest. Shane gasps and drops down, dark energy swirling around him as he kneels before Chaosmon, fear in his eyes.
"SHANE!" AJ yells out, staggering over to grab him before he collapses forward. AJ can feel the blood drenching through his clothes and he swallows hard. "No, no... I've gotcha. It's ok, I've gotcha." He cradles Shane close and glares up at Chaosmon. "What do we do..."
The other digidestined are still down, none willing to move and face the same fate Shane had, and AJ can't really blame them, although it irks him to be alone like this, vulnerable and with no defense. "There has to be something," he says, lifting his digivice and hoping that it would activate or something. "C'mon, c'mon... C'MON!" His yell attracts Chaosmon's attention and the beast howls, slashing wildly at the device, AJ gasping in horror as his digivice is cracked into pieces in his hands at the overwhelming power bursting from the claw that'd just slammed right through it. "Oh my God..."
He knows it's hopeless now, they have no chance against Chaosmon if one strike can destroy all of their digivices so easily, especially with Shinsuke and Seth injured, and he buries his face in Shane's hair, shuddering softly as he waits for the next strike. "I"m sorry, Shane," he whispers, closing his eyes... when there's a sharp crashing sound and when AJ looks up hesitantly, it's to find that two tall Digimon are standing between them and Chaosmon.
"You are the cause of all of this turmoil then," Ophanimon says, barely audible over the gust of wind caused by Chaosmon's mere presence. "I see."
Tankdramon seems much angrier than Ophanimon's cool disdain. "We will destroy you," he promises. "You will pay for all of the frustration you have caused me!"
