Seth gets to his feet, feelingi strangely energized under the glow of his crest. He looks up at MetalSeadramon and exhales. "Are you alright? Are you full powered again?"
"Yes, Seth," his partner tells him with a smile. "I've... I don't remember feeling better."
Seth smiles a little. "Me neither. Let's destroy this pain in our ass."
"You really don't expect us to allow you to do that alone," Shinsuke says in his slow English, walking up to Seth, Apollomon lumbering overhead, power exuding from every inch of his body.
"Hell no," Seth tells him with no limit of relief. "The more the merrier, man." He looks up at Apollomon. "Glad you're both doing better."
"And us you," Shinsuke informs him.
Ciampa walks up to them then, a determined look in his icy eyes. "I'd like you all to meet Shoutmon X3SD. It looks like some kind of miracle has happened today," he says, lips twitching up in a sort of incredulous smirk. "And I'm not the only one."
They all turn to look back at CM Punk, who is standing proud, tall, without a hint of injury or weakness about him. Seth's gaze shifts from him to the impressive looking creature next to him. "Whoa."
"Digidestined," Punk calls out, his voice filling the room and attracting everyone's attention. "Meet Alphamon. My partner. Now who's up for kicking some ass?"
For a wild, impulsive moment, Seth sees it: How the digidestined may have ended up had Punk stayed, hadn't moved on and left him in charge of them all. With this Alphamon instead of MetalSeadramon, and...
"Hey," Punk calls out. "Rollins."
Breaks straight through his thoughts and snaps him back into reality. "Yes?"
"You're the leader." Punk quirks an eyebrow at him. "So lead!"
It feels like he's been heel kicked in the chest, but he knows Punk is right. He shakes off his self-doubts and takes a deep breath. "Yeah, right. Of course." He examines the digimon before him before turning to face Ancient Wisemon. "Let's kick some ass and take our worlds and our lives back then!"
