Dark Ocean spreads out before Wade, Xavier, Shayna, Escobar and Imperium as they wait for some sign of something to do. "I think we go this way," Wade says, examining his digivice. "Looks like Ziggler's digivice is towards the beach."
"Sounds comforting," Shayna says even as she trails after him.
"Most things here are," Wade says dryly, leading the group towards the flashing light on the map. "Hopefully we'll find the others somewhere along the way here."
"That would be preferable, yes," Xavier says, glancing down at Jammingmon as they walk side by side to the beach. He's about to say something else when there's a rushing sound, something slamming into the group of them and knocking them over. "What the hell was that-" he mumbles, struggling to sit up and look around, until something digs into his back and slams him face first into the ground, making him spit up sand.
"Let him go!" Jammingmon cries out, lunging forward to tackle whatever weight was pressed down on Xavier's back.
Xavier blinks the sand out of his eyes and peers up, holding his digivice out. "Digivolve!" he cries, just for the weight to intensify between his shoulderblades.
Roamon lunges as soon as he fully forms, grabbing ahold of the creature with his talons and forcing him off of Xavier, screaming right in his face.
Xavier slowly pulls himself up onto his elbows, peering ahead as Roamon lifts the tall, armored creature up in midair. "What is that?" he mumbles, thumbing at his digivice.
"Mach Gaogamon," Wade says from where he's kneeling down by Lunamon, who is half-buried into the sand and looking miserable about it. "I didn't even know digimon like that could survive in a place like this."
"Maybe because it's a cyborg," Lunamon says, still struggling to unearth herself. "He hits us with Gaoga Tornado."
"Explains a lot," Xavier says, leaning over to help Wade free her before turning his attention back to his partner's battle on-going behind them. "Can you help him, Lunamon?"
"Maybe," she says doubtfully, glancing up at Wade, who nods shortly.
Digivolving to Sanzomon, she lifts her arms high and forms rosary beads around Mach Gaogomon, watching him frantically peering back and forth as the large weapons surround him and begin to slam against him, exploding. He struggles and gasps as Roamon grips him tighter, allowing more and more of the illusions to blast against him, leaving him struggling.
"Let him go," Sanzomon warns Raomon, her eyes gleaming. "Kochoumu-kyou!"
Raomon dives away before the intense force could affect him as well, the group of them watching as Mach Gaogamon shatters into small pieces of data, drifting away.
Wade exhales, looking around to make sure the others had freed themselves from the sand. "Alright," he says. "Let's get out of here. Try to find the other groups of digidestined."
"Yeah," Xavier says, eager to get more backup just in case they should get sideswiped again.. "Let's do that."
They all head off in the direction Wade points out, the group of them looking relieved to be on the lookout for more help.
