Ice glinting in the sun around him, MegaSeadramon glows with an intensity that stops everyone, the ripple affects of it even rushing through trees just visible in the distance. Seth holds his digivice out, up, and watches as MegaSeadramon absorbs the powers and roars out into the sky, twisting around to glower down at MagnaKidmon.
He sneers up at him, gun held at the ready, but MegaSeadramon merely shifts aside, then lunges forward, still aglow. "MegaSeadramon digivolve to..." The light only seems to grow, MegaSeadramon's entirely body infused by it, time seeming to stop as power shifts and swirls all around them, Seth struggling just to hold onto his digivice as the sequence comes to a stop, life slowly bleeding back into their surroundings. "METALSEADRAMON!"
MagnaKidmon scoffs, unimpressed by his fellow Mega level digimon, before lunging forward and brandishing his weapons, preparing to cut through this new threat. He's just barely made it a few feet forward, however, when MetalSeadramon meets him halfway and blasts him head on with energy from his snout. MagnaKidmon twists to respond in kind, but is stopped when MetalSeadramon writhes around him, binding him with his body. No matter how he struggles, MagnaKidmon finds himself unable to free himself, MetalSeadramon all but laughing in his face as he tightens his grip, slowly crushing MagnaKidmon's body in his grip.
"No! I will not die this way!" he snarls, struggling harder to free one of his weapons, something, anything to blast MetalSeadramon away. But he fails at every turn, MetalSeadramon's power too great, his body too durable to move in any possible way. "No-!"
"Well," MetalSeadramon says, squeezing his opponent even harder, "you are right about one thing. You will not be dying this way." With no warning, he lunges in and snaps his jaws over MagnaKidmon's struggling body, cleanly biting through it- weapons and data alike, feeling with some satisfaction as he explodes between MetalSeadramon's teeth.
Seth gapes, kind of relieved that most of the others are busy with the recovery efforts and didn't just witness that. "Good lord," he mumbles, scrubbing a hand over his face as data scatters around him. "MetalSeadramon!" he calls out, exhaling as his partner dedigivolves back to Betamon, collapsing into Seth's arms. "Well, look at you, my murderous little man." He chuckles awkwardly, carrying him over the others. "You rest, I'll help out here, then we'll go home," he promises him, laying him in some grass.
"Ok, Seth," Betamon murmurs, more than a little wiped out from that fight, and how unaccustomed he's become to fighting after the last few weeks spent at home. "Sorry if I freaked you out a little there."
"You're ok," Seth promises him, patting his head. "Just rest. I'll come get you when we're done."
Once Betamon's eyes have slipped closed, Seth rushes over to the others. "Finding anything?" The grim looks on the others' faces tell him all he needs to know and for a brief moment, he stops second guessing what MetalSeadramon did, a vicious thrill of a thought that MagnaKidmon had gotten what he deserved as he helps dig in to try to find someone, anyone, in all of this mess.
