It's working, Drake thinks in amazement. Asuka and Shinsuke's digivices are curling beams of energy around Omegamon Alter S's writhing body, pinning him in place, leaving him with no recourse but to roar out in anger and frustration as his power is sapped slowly from him. Meanwhile, WereGarurumon, Growlmon, Gatomon, Arkadimon, and Garurumon start to line up behind him, determined looks on their faces echoing the expressions on their partners' faces.
"End this, Gatomon!" Dakota cries out, various other cries of encouragement comiing from the few Digidestined who are still conscious behind them.
Gatomon nods tensely, the other four digimon also bolstered by these calls. "Let's go, guys," she urges, and leaps into battle. Their attacks are good, not weakened thankfully, but in the end they are only a bunch of champion and ultimate levels against one of the strongest digimon Drake thinks there are in the world. So their attacks only seem to anger the creature more, his writhing threatening to break through the energy holding him in check.
Drake is fretting when voices grow louder behind him, and more energy beams join with Shinsuke and Asuka's. When he glances over his shoulder, it's to find that Owens, Xavier and Lana had made their way to their feet, their digivices held high as they too attempt to make the fight easier for the others. Another round of attacks come and Drake's eyes widen when Omegamon Alter S staggers, roaring out in pained frustration. "Guys, I think we're getting there! Don't let up!" he cries out, stepping forward in excitement.
"Drake!" Rhea barks out in warning, but he's too excited to pay attention and the next thing he knows, Omegamon Alter S has broken free of some of the energy beams and Drake is looking straight down his plasma cannon, jaw dropped, eyes horribly wide.
"DRAKE!" more yells this time, more activity while Drake is frozen in place, his life flashing before his eyes. Something happens, he's not entirely sure what, and then that plasma cannon is gone, and Drake inhales shakily, before looking around.
Rhea has him by the arm, an angry look in her eyes as she drags him back to relative safely. "Bloody fool!" she snaps, shaking him for good measure, and he allows it because he still feels oddly hot and cold all at once from what just happened.
Wait. "What just happened?" he asks, and his voice sounds low and highpitched, almost frantic, and she grips him grimly by the shoulders and turns him to look.
His knees almost give out as he comes face to face with WereGarurumon, sprawled out, lifeless and draining data on the ground before him. "No," he breathes out. "No, no- WEREGARURUMON!" Something shifts deep inside of him, refusing to see more pain, more destruction- lose his best friend- his partner... "Not like this," he says, eyes flashing with the reflection of his glowing, vibrating digivice. "NEVER LIKE THIS!"
The power is immense. It nearly sends him flying backwards as it pours out of his digivice, slams into WereGarurumon's dying form, and causes him to glow from within as his injuries are healed, his life stops draining from him. He makes it to his feet and howls loudly before beginning to strip away. "WereGarurumon digivolve toooo..." It takes time, this digivolution much more complex, but the old data strips away, reforms into- "BAIHUMON!"
"Oh my God," Drake breathes out, eyes wide and so deeply blue as he stares at his partner. Back on four feet, covered in beautiful blue striped fur, there's just a presence about this digimon that leaves Drake trembling and in awe. "How are you my partner?"
Baihumon glances at him. "It should be obvious, Drake," he manages, but there is no time for a lengthy conversation to explain all of this.
Omegamon Alter-S needs handled. Now.
