Several more Digimon have been mustered up to block the path of the attackers. Now that you're weaving between streets, you end up encountering them again. You blow past most of them, and after a little while, the weaker ones give up on trying to stop you. A Greymon emerges from between two buildings, and in Astamon's diminished state, it takes him a little while to defeat it. There's a close call with a giant fireball, but you eventually delete the big lug and move on.
While you're trying to run down a particularly long stretch of road, a red-plumed creature steps out from an alleyway. It glares at the two of you quietly, and Astamon slows down to threaten it with his weapon. Before he can shoot, another pops up. Then another. Then another.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">AKATORIMON- CHAMPION- GIANT BIRD- DATA</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">"These guys? As guards?"</span>
"They don't look that tough."
One more pops up. Now that they vastly outnumber you, the whole flock starts squawking and screeching. They sprint at you with their powerful legs, clearing a third of the distance in mere moments. Astamon starts gunning them down, killing two before they reach him. The others start firing.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"Scar-Red Eye!"</span></span> <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"Scar-Red Eye!"</span></span> <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"Scar-Red Eye!"</span></span>
They shoot beams of fire from their eyes. Astamon dodges one pair, but the other attacks strike him in the chest. At first, you think nothing of the generic-looking Champion-level attack, but your partner screams in pain.
<span class="mu-s">"ARGH!"</span>
