>Get past your partner. The bots are easier to handle than the Espimon. You can try shooting them down, while Gizamon charges into them and clears a path. Meanwhile, Porcupamon can fight the invisible Rookies. As a Champion, he's far better suited to take damage from them. However, fighting servitors as a human always brings a podding risk.
"Porcupamon, handle the Rookies! Ryan, with me!"
You charge towards your partner. He flattens himself against the wall so that the three of you can squeeze past without getting jabbed by a spike, then spreads his arms again to challenge the Espimon. You see him start to charge up another Madness Broach, while you point your newly acquired weapon down the hallway.
"Where did you get-"
"Ssh! Get Gizamon to charge! He shreds them like nobody's business."
"Got it! Gizamon, go! Spiral Edge!"
His partner rolls into a ball and heads towards the bot horde, while you try to find a way to shoot without hurting yourself. Your next shot hits a servitor and destroys it, but you don't have the gun braced against anything, and it ends up flying upwards and pointing at the ceiling. You readjust with it tucked under your armpit, and find that you can control the kick quite a bit better. It's a strange way to hold it, and you feel like it's not quite right, but it deals with the enemies one at a time.
Behind you, an Espimon jets towards your head. He gets smashed into a wall by your partner and deleted before you can even take notice. The bots continue to swarm in, their faces covered in red circles that signal their aggression. They screech in sync, demanding your surrender at once. Neither you nor Ryan dignifies it with a response.
You remember how easily Gizamon cut through them in the sewer. However, this time, something is different. After he loses momentum and uncurls, they surround him. Before he can rear up for a kick with his frog legs, a bot pulls out a baton and slams it down onto the aquatic Digimon.
Ryan shouts in alarm and almost runs in front of your gun. Your finger is always on the trigger, and it takes all your focus to not shoot him in the back.
"Get back! Gizamon!" He yells.
His partner breaks through the crowd and returns to the site of your holdout, losing plenty of ground in the process. You've seldom seen batons. They don't tend to beat people, just pod them. This is a new approach.
"What do we do now?!"
"Lemme think..." You mumble.
