Not even Elecmon chose to help Dorumon; that's how much the latter flubbed up, and so Dorumon had to leap back from the jet of water launched at him, which hit the sand beneath where he was standing and caused a spray of sandy water to rain down on every one of the group. 

Andrew instinctively grimaced at that, and said, "My Clothes!," before his next thoughts turned to Joel and his new Digimon Partner.

"Joel, are you okay?," he asked, trying to be gentle. "Don't worry, it's my first time fighting too; as that rude guy said, people shouldn't be forcing kids to fight against monsters."

He backhandedly admitted that 'Rude Guy' had a point, and that Dorumon was really very suspicious. He then turned towards Elecmon and said, "All right, I'm in. Now let's protect the other kids and Joel, okay?"

Coelamon was ignoring the scattered attacks on its sides, not helped by the fact that not all the Digimon were attacking. Rude Guy's attempt at a punch didn't work either... except as a distraction; Pulsemon's attack, however, did cause the foe to wince because it came from somewhere so close... It was also a few inches short of hitting its left lower eyelid.

Having a sudden flash of creative insight, Andrew turned to Elecmon and said, "Your strongest attack at its right eye, now!"

"On it!," was the response, and Elecmon's tails crackled with electricity as he said, [i]"Super Thunder Strike!"[/i], and bolts of lightning were launched at the enemy Digimon's eye. Direct hit.

It howled in rage, almost deafening the Human members of the party, before shouting, "Elecmon, you traitor! You would gamble everything on such measly fools?! [i]Iron Scale![/i]"

This time, it was targeting Andrew and Joel, launching small scales of sharpened metal from its skin that would pierce holes through a normal human if they hit -

[i]"Metal Cannon!,"[/i] Dorumon intervened as he shot a metal sphere from his maw that grew in size as it flew, batting aside the bladed iron scales before crashing against Coelamon, staggering the foe back several steps.

Andrew felt it; Dorumon was giving them a chance to win, to strike the final blow... while making it clear that he was holding back, that he was strong enough to take care of this - [i]And them[/i] - singlehandedly if he wanted to. 

"Now!," the boy felt as though he needed to set an example, "Elecmon, we need your strongest attack again! Joel, you and your Digimon, coordinate with me and Elecmon and hit the same spot Elecmon hits! Everyone else, [i]aim for the eyes![/i]"

[i]One more round, one more round and we can finish this... thanks to Dorumon. Then what?[/i]
