From his teetering, unsteady position, Strikedramon slowly leans forward until he's hunched over like a puppet with cut strings. The air grows hotter, and you see his red mane begin to ignite. It lengthens into tongues of flame that quickly explode into a blue-white incandescence. The door slams shut behind you, and you both whirl around as the sound resonates.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">"I'll exterminate you both. No more."</span></span>
All of that earlier nobility is gone. The presence of a Virus Digimon has reverted him to his base instincts. Strikedramon was already remarkably strong, and in this berserk state, you don't see any hope of victory. Phascomon has doomed himself by coming here to help. The sense of terror tightens its grip on you.
Your partner takes a step back as well, clearly caught off guard by the transformation. As fire engulfs the dragon's body, he leaps towards the Rookie and kicks him straight into a wall before you can even react. You've barely processed your reunion, and now he's already being taken out.
His next target is you. You leap aside once again as he charges blindly, his motions now frantic and barbaric. He comes at you with unrivalled savagery, in hot pursuit while you sprint towards the downed Phascomon.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">"DIE! DIE! I'LL INCINERATE EVERY LAST STRING OF YOUR CODE! STRIKE FANG!"</span></span>
The entire body of the Core Guardian becomes wreathed in blue flames, and he blitzes towards you for a finishing blow. Your instincts take over in that moment, trying to figure out a way to live. The moment you reach Phascomon, you turn around and spread your arms, straining to form a smuggling partition in front of your enemy. The featureless polygon spreads out, becoming a barrier between you and the rampaging beast. You grab Phascomon and load the both of you into it, sparing you from an agonizing death at the hands of this Digimon.
