You look at the distance between them, then at the rapidly closing stance of the colossal beetle. It's not enough. He's not putting enough power into it to bypass the attack. Scissor Arms Ω will make contact first, dealing maximum damage to him. Even with his high data volume, you doubt he can survive that.
But you're not content to just watch. The two of you have come far enough by now that you're no longer just helpless to observe.
"ASTAMON! COME ON! FASTER!"
You hold your Digivice up, no longer caring about attracting attention from the flying Digimon. Your pulse quickens, synchronizing with his beating heart through the Linker around your wrist. You feel that thread of power between you two swelling into an outgoing torrent, draining you of your energy and filling him with fighting spirit in equal measure. You've both fought so hard together, there's no way you can let it end here at the hands of a giant bug. He has to make it. He has to.
"DO IT!" You scream.
Data tears through the link, filling the air with hazy static as you power up your partner. You can't afford to care about preserving his strength, or he'll die here and now. The flames around his leg travel upwards, engulfing his whole body and turning him into a shooting star that blitzes right past Okuwamon's weapons. He makes it to his target right before the blades close fully, smashing into the center of its face full-force.
