"Don't worry about us!" Kaya called out to Octavio. "Believe it or not, this isn't the first time we've fought against a giant bug like this! Now go, get out of here before you guys get hurt!" Unlike before, Kaya seemed absolutely determined to see this fight through to the end on her own terms. Taranza's pep talk really did work on her! After Hawkeye had rammed into GrandisKuwagamon and Kaya gave her callout speech, the giant Xros bug got up and basically tried to excuse his own horrible actions by placing the blame on Vespa being a tyrant and using her subjects as slaves. And yeah, Kaya and Hawkeye could both see how Thresh would've been fed up with her treatment. However, that didn't mean that Hawkeye wasn't going to call out these claims himself.
"What makes you any different than Vespa by doing this? Is this who you really are? If you were free, then you'd willingly terrorize a city like what you're doing now? Forcing others to Xros with you? Admit it; you're just as awful as Queen Vespa!" Then GrandisKuwagamon's back started swelling. The very sight of it gave Kaya and Hawkeye flashbacks to the ExD CannonBeemon they had previously battled. They couldn't hide their looks of disgust well when a swarm of mutated clones had come out of the Xrossed bug's back, watching as they lashed at anything in front of them. This time, Kaya was going to put her foot down: she wouldn't be pushed around by gross bugs like this anymore!
[Water Feather Wave]
"Water Feather Wave!"
Multiple of Hawkeye's wing feathers charged with blue water energy before he launched them forwards towards GrandisKuwagamon and his clones. The water blasts would form into a huge wave that would hopefully successfully wash away a good amount of the clones, and possibly even GrandisKuwagamon himself.
I need to find a way to get GrandisKuwagamon into the air with me... otherwise our attacks will cause more collateral damage to the city than necessary.
Hawkeye uses "Water Feather Wave" on GrandisKuwagamon and all of the GrandisKuwagamon clones.
Moves
Water Feather Wave: Hawkeye charges multiple feathers with blue water energy and launches them in the form of a huge water wave, with a diameter of 100 meters. Cooldown is four posts.
Passives
Deadshot (Combat Passive): Hawkeye's aim is far superior to most Digimon. Each attack has its accuracy increase by 30%, making it more likely that his attack will hit its target.
Cooldowns -Phoenix Ram (1/2) -Water Feather Wave (0/4)

As GrandisKuwagamon unleashed his swarm, ShogunOctomon X3 and the rest of the Xros Army got into position to hold off the insect Mega's swarm of clones until Hawkeye's wave ended up washing the mutants away, dissolving them until only globs of goop remained of the abominations. Just as quickly as he'd created the swarm, GrandisKuwagamon found himself on his own once more. As he recovered from being knocked over by the wave, the insect Mega was utterly shocked by Hawkeye's power. He couldn't even come up with a rebuttal to Hawkeye's accusation of being like the tyrant he hated, as the Eaglemon had a point.
This actually got him to hesitate for a moment, something that didn't go unnoticed by a secret observer that was watching the match go down via remote-controlled insect drones. The observer tsk'd, before pulling out a remote control. "Well, this won't do at all. How can we test my prototype Darkness Loader if this fool won't give it his all?"
The observer fiddled with a dial, activating a remote override in GrandisKuwagamon's Darkness Loader. The device's screen started to turn red as GrandisKuwagamon began clutching his head in pain. The Mega was enveloped in a visible dark aura as he flew toward Hawkeye, claws outstretched to attack the Eaglemon. The Darkness Loader's override function had reduced GrandisKuwagamon to a near-mindless berserker, lashing out in blind rage and unable to be reasoned with any more.
The glow of the Darkness Loader did catch Octavio's eye, though, as he realized what needed to be done. "Kaya, Hawkeye! Aim for his Loader! Break it, and he'll be forced to defuse!"
If the berserk Mega even heard this, then he wasn't in the right state of mind to react properly. Instead, the berserker pressed on with his attack, firing off some of his own claws as armor-piercing darts at Hawkeye while new claws immediately grew in to replace the missing ones. MetalKhimeramon: -Trident Revolver: (4/4) -Heavy Firepower (passive): MetalKhimeramon's basic attacks deal as much damage as 0-CD named attacks.
ShogunOctomon X3: -Backhand: (3/4)
Jewelbeemon abilities: -Spiral Gale:(5/5)
GrandisKuwagamon: -Armored Hunter (passive): GrandisKuwagamon's armored exoskeleton is very tough and durable, even if its weight slows him down a bit. Still won't stop him from viciously pursuing his prey, though. +40% defense, -10% speed. -Slash Wave: (3/3) -Storm Slicer: (2/4) -Grandis Rocket: GrandisKuwagamon fires the blades of one of his Gran Killers at his opponent like darts, piercing through most defenses the target could try to defend themselves with. The Gran Killers then grow new claws to replace the missing ones. 3 post CD, full piercing. (0/3) -Virulent Clones: Stopped early. Cannot be used again.

Thanks to Hawkeye's attack, the GrandisKuwagamon's clones were all washed away and dissolved into goop, and the main Xrossed Digimon himself was even knocked over by the attack. Once he managed to pick himself up, GrandisKuwagamon was utterly speechless by the Eaglemon's sheer power, as he should have been. Hawkeye could even see that GrandisKuwagamon was hesitating a bit. "I'm not going to ask you again: break the Xros and release our friends, at once."
"Alright! It worked!" Kaya cheered, almost practically jumping for joy.
"It's not over yet, Kaya," Hawkeye reminded her. "He hasn't defused yet, and our friends are still in there- wait... something's happening to GrandisKuwagamon!"
Hawkeye was interrupted when GrandisKuwagamon suddenly started clutching his head in pain, presumably screaming loudly in the process. It wasn't long before the Xrossed Mega was suddenly covered in a dark aura, and had now turned into a mindless berserker. "It's like he's gone feral!" Kaya cried out.
Thanks to his keen sense of sight, Hawkeye noticed something important right away: the glowing red screen of the Darkness Loader that GrandisKuwagamon was holding. Octavio didn't need to tell him anything, as Hawkeye knew exactly where he needed to target his attacks. But he needed to survive the incoming Gran Killer claw darts first. Unfortunately, while the Eaglemon was able to dodge two of the claws, the third one hit him right in his left shoulder, doing the full amount of damage and piercing right through the metal skin. "AAAAUGH!"
"Hawkeye!" Kaya called out, obviously worried for her partner.
"I'm fine," Hawkeye insisted as he ripped the claw out of his shoulder, tossing it to the ground. Data-like blood could be seen flowing out of the wound. "Those damn things are sharper than they look." Now was the time to focus... the Eaglemon could see the Darkness Loader in sight. His accuracy was above all others, so if he could strike at just the right moment...
Hawkeye dashed back a bit, deciding to take advantage of the GrandisKuwagamon's berserker state. He was giving the attacker an open invitation to dash right at him at full speed, but he had to be a certain distance away for this to work.
Come on... The Eaglemon extended his wings. Just a little bit closer... Four spots on the inside of Hawkeye's wings began to glow a dull yellow. Finally, GrandisKuwagamon got close enough, leaving them precisely one second to be able to pull this off! "NOW!"
"STATIC WING!"
Within milliseconds, the glowing points on Hawkeye's wings all shot a bolt of lightning in a condensed spot, which also caused an even more powerful bolt of lightning to shoot out from that point right at the Darkness Loader in GrandisKuwagamon's hands. If this attack was successful, the Darkness Loader should crumble in no time. If it didn't... well, at least GrandisKuwagamon himself would be in for one hell of a shock.
Hawkeye is hit by GrandisKuwagamon's "Grandis Rocket" attack, sustaining full damage. He then fires a "Static Wing" attack right at the Darkness Loader, using all of the precision skills that he has.
Moves
Static Wing: Hawkeye extends his wings out, with four particular spots on the inside of his wings glowing yellow. Those spots would then each shoot out a bolt of lightning at a singular point, combining into one powerful stream of lightning. Cooldown is three posts.

Hawkeye's attack would indeed aim true, the lightning hitting the Darkness Loader and short-circuiting it. The handheld device would have its screen fritz out and emit smoke before ultimately shutting off from the overload.
The effect this would have on GrandisKuwagamon would be instantaneous, the black Mega instantly freezing in place as his body glitched out, before ultimately shattering into pieces that would reform into the battered bodies of GrandisKuwagamon's Xros components (even Kohaku and Ruri, who had been dragged into it unwillingly). The battered Digimon were all sprawled out across the ground, thoroughly exhausted from maintaining the Darkness Xros, although Thresh still managed to force himself onto his knees through sheer willpower by using his spear as support.
The Jewelbeemon tried to rally the Stingmons to keep fighting, but the battered guards were having none of it. The quartet simply looked at each other before simultaneously glaring at their "commander" and raising their arms in surrender
With the Darkness Loader disabled and his own men having turned on him, Thresh knew that he had no chance of winning this fight any longer. The Jewelbeemon sighed as he lowered himself into a sitting position, tossing aside his weapon in a gesture of surrender. "I yield. This battle is yours."
With the five soldiers having surrendered, Octavio's crew split up their own Xros forms back into their individual components and started tying up the 5 soldiers so that they couldn't try and make a break for it before the local authorities (MetalKhimeramon's weapons doing an excellent job at intimidating the bugs into cooperation).
The sole exceptions to this would be Tartar, who had grabbed the Darkness Loader off the ground and plugged his own data cable into it to see what information he could salvage from it, and Octavio himself, who went to check up on Kaya and her friends.
"How're you holding up, kid? I know that that fight couldn't have been easy for you." Octavio quietly asked Kaya. Having to fight a monster that was partially comprised of your own friends would enact a heavy toll on even the strongest of wills.
"Hey! What should we do with this guy?" Belle called out from a distance, holding Taranza by the scruff of his neck. Ah, yes. That WAS something they still need to figure out, wasn't it?

They did it. They actually did it. After all was said and done, Hawkeye had pulled off a perfectly accurate shot to fry the Darkness Loader that GrandisKuwagamon was carrying. As soon as it was destroyed, the Xrossed Digimon stopped immediately before its body glitched out and shattered into pieces. Those pieces then reformed into Thresh and his four Stingmon guards, as well as Kohaku and Ruri, who were now in their rookie forms as they laid on the ground.
"KOHAKU! RURI!" Kaya immediately cried out as she ran up to her two avian friends, kneeling down to check on them. Thankfully they were both alright, they were just extremely tired from being forced to hold that Xros form. ""Please tell me you both are okay..."
"That... sucked..." Kohaku managed to say as he chuckled.
"I don't wanna do that ever again," Ruri said with a groan as she tried to pick herself up.
Kaya couldn't help but smile at the two siblings, as she was just glad that they were both alright. She looked over at Thresh with an angry expression as he forced himself onto his knees and tried to rally the other Stingmons to continue fighting. Though with Hawkeye still hovering over them as Eaglemon, they all just decided to surrender, raising their arms in the process. Thresh had little choice but to surrender as well, throwing his weapon to the side and raising his arms as well. Kaya put her hands on her hips as she gave a triumphant look towards Thresh... the fight was over, and the city was saved.
While Thresh and his guards were being tied up, Hawkeye reverted back to his Hawkmon form. The poor bird was so tired that he immediately fell to a sitting position. "I'm starving," Hawkeye said. It made sense, considering how much energy he used from going Mega level for the first time.
"You were amazing, Hawkeye!" Kaya praised her partner as she gave him a big hug, to which Hawkeye wasn't expecting and flapped his wings repeatedly as she hugged him. "Your Mega form was so beautiful! And the way we fought against that Thresh guy, it was great! I'm so proud of you, Hawkeye!"
"I believe you have it backwards... I should be the one who's proud of you. It was your energy that I used to become Eaglemon to begin with."
"No way, it was definitely all you, Hawkeye! Don't be so humble about it!" This bickering would go on until Octavio approached Kaya, asking her how she was holding up. "I... think I'm doing alright. Our friends are safe, and the city is safe. That's really all that matters in the end."
Then Belle came along, holding Taranza by the scruff of his neck, asking what they should do with him. This all started because Taranza had run off from his guards, and just so happened to come across the "deserter" Tartar. But still... he clearly didn't know that his mother had placed a bounty on him, and he tried his best to help out in any way he could. Kaya stood up, looking right at Belle. "Put him down, Belle. He's suffered enough thanks to that creep Thresh, and thanks to his mother. I believe him now, he really didn't have anything to do with what happened, and he didn't know about the order to capture Tartar."
Kohaku looked away... he was such a hypocrite, to turn on Taranza just as quickly as that without knowing everything first. Still, there was one way to make up for it. "I agree with Kaya. Tartar, you really should give your brother another chance."
"Especially since I don't believe he's willing to go back to Queen Vespa anymore."
A powerful presence could then be sensed by the Digimon there. The local city guard was coming in to take Thresh and the other Royal Guards away, but they were joined by someone that Kaya, Hawkeye, and Octavio would recognize... OmniShoutmon. And boy did OmniShoutmon look pissed.
"Kaya... Hawkeye... Octavio?" OmniShoutmon asked upon seeing the two of them. "Were you the ones that I was told fought against these five?"
"Sh-Shoutmon-!" Kaya said with a gasp, as she wasn't used to his OmniShoutmon form. "Y-Yes, we all fought them... together."
OmniShoutmon took a quick look around the area before looking back at the others. "Could've done without the collateral damage, but that can all be fixed, and at least no one seemed to get hurt. You guys did great to stop them." He gave the group a smile and a thumbs up to show his approval before he put his angry face back on, stomping towards the now tied up Thresh and Stingmon quartet. The sheer presence of this OmniShoutmon's aura would be more than enough to scare the crap out of at least the Stingmon guards.
"You five should all be ashamed of yourselves! What in your right minds thought it was a good idea to start a high level fight in the middle of the city like this?! Not to mention Xrossing to what's basically a Mega level in the city, and putting even more lives at risk! Unforgivable! I know about what kind of kingdom or whatever you come from, so we're going to go there and tell your queen exactly what happened. Got it?"

"Well, that's good then." Octavio said with relief after Kaya confirmed that she and her friends would be alright. He hated that Kaya had been forced to witness her friends being forced into fusing with that monster. "I'm sorry you guys ended up getting dragged into this mess."
When Kaya told Belle to release Taranza, the Tinkermon looked at the prince before simply dropping him on the ground with an apathetic shrug. "I meant if we should leave him to the cops with the other guys, but alright."
"No, Miss Kaya has a point. I realize now how I was too naive and trusting to understand the depths of... Mother's cruelty." Taranza admitted as he got up from the ground and brushed himself off.
It was at that point that OmniShoutmon made his appearance, the enraged aura the golden warrior radiated actually causing the Xros Army members that had been securing the royal guards to back away from the restrained villains.
Octavio, not cowed by OmniShoutmon's anger, merely nodded at him before explaining his side of what happened. "These scoundrels were after my SIC, and Kaya and her friends got dragged into it against their will. Those four shouldn't be blamed for the collateral damage we caused."
With the five royal guards, however, OmniShoutmon's plan to take them back to their hive and confront Queen Vespa made the four Stingmons all flip out at once under their restraints.
"Nononono-" "We can't go back!" "She'll kill us, man!" "I quit!"
That last statement caused the other three Stingmons to turn to the quitter, who sheepishly glanced away. "What? you guys know she's killed Digimon for smaller things than this. Throw in Thresh striking the prince? That's a loadable offense!"
The other Stingmons murmured in agreement at that statement, before the fourth one addressed OmniShoutmon. "Look, man. We'll accept whatever punishment you guys want to give us, just please don't send us back there! "

"Honestly, I've just come to expect things like this happening to us," Kaya said to Octavio. "When you're a Tamer, trouble always seems to find you." She then looked down at her Digivice, gripping it slightly tighter as she smiled. "It's how we handle this trouble that proves our worth as humans chosen to be involved with the Digital World."
Belle then released Taranza, who explained that he was too naive to understand just how cruel his mother truly was. Kaya walked up to the royal bug and knelt down to his level. "I get it. I wanna see the best in people too, especially my own family. But you did help, in the end. You helped me get my head back on straight, and if it wasn't for you, then things would've been a lot worse. So... thank you, Taranza." Kaya placed a hand on Taranza's head and rubbed it a little, as if she was ruffling his hair (if he had any, of course.)
"And we wish you luck with the future," Hawkeye said to Taranza, placing his wings on his hips. "Let us know if you should need any assistance."
Then OmniShoutmon arrived, his sheer angry aura being enough to intimidate most of Octavio's army, sans Tartar and Octavio himself. The ShogunOctomon explained his side of the story, where these bugs attacked his second-in-command, and Kaya and her friends got dragged into the mess. "Like I said, Octavio, all of this can be fixed. I'm just glad none of you were hurt too badly. I'd love to catch up, but I'm quite pissed off if you haven't noticed, so we'll have to do so some other time."
After OmniShoutmon had walked up to the five culprits and chewed them out, it seemed to be the idea of bringing them back to their queen that caused them all to panic. This confused the golden warrior a bit, until one of them mentioned how the Queen killed Digimon over smaller offenses than this, and that Thresh's offense being loadable. OmniShoutmon's eyes widened. "What...?!"
"How barbaric," Hawkeye said, his brow furrowing as he crossed his wings.
"They did bad things, but..." Ruri muttered, unable to finish her sentence. Kohaku held onto her wing, squeezing it tightly in an effort to calm her down.
"...okay, that's something we'll have to look into more," OmniShoutmon groaned, sighing as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He looked back at the Stingmons, who were begging him not to send them to her. "Alright, fine. You five will be tried and punished right here in Rosewood, and your queen won't hear from you ever again. But trust me, it's gonna be no picnic... especially not for your leader there." OmniShoutmon then nodded to the guards, who would proceed to take the Stingmons and Thresh into their custody.
"Hey, um..." Kohaku stepped up towards OmniShoutmon a bit sheepishly. "You're Gem's dad, right? My sister and I were in that Xrossed Digimon thing too... are we gonna be punished?"
"Well, of course not," OmniShoutmon said with a smiling, getting down on one knee closer to Kohaku's height. "I know you and your sister pretty well, considering Gem invites you to come to our house for dinner almost every night. If you really were a part of that thing, it definitely wasn't by choice. Are you two doing okay?"
"A little bit shaken, but it's nothing I can't handle, since I'm just that great!"
"I'm okay, too!"
OmniShoutmon smiled more. "Well, that's good to hear." He then looked back at Octavio and his crew. "I'm guessing this thing with this so-called prince and his kingdom isn't quite over, is it? Adrian and I have to go down and deal with the quintet of trouble, but after that, you need to inform me more about this queen, alright? Stick around for a bit, and we'll come find you when we're ready."
The golden dragon man would then fly off towards where the guards had taken Thresh and his men, leaving Kaya, Hawkeye, the bird siblings, and Octavio's army behind. "This may be a bad time to suggest this, but could we continue with our original plan?" Hawkeye asked, placing both wings on his belly. "I truly am starved."

OmniShoutmon's confirmation that the 5 guards would be tried and punished here in Rosewood caused the Stingmons to all sigh in relief, although Thresh had no visible reaction and just stayed silent as the group was led off by the guards.
OmniShoutmon's statement about things probably not being over regarding Taranza and his hive was something that Taranza himself could only nod sadly to. "Unfortunately so, I'm afraid. I'm going to confront my mother about what she's done, although I don't think I'm strong enough to do this on my own. Especially if she decides to treat me the way she treated my brother for standing up to her."
"Well, don't you worry about that. At the very least, you can count on us to give you some backup. I want to have some words with your mother myself." Octavio said as he went up to Taranza and placed a tentacle on his shoulder. "We can also spare a bed for you in case you need a place to crash for a bit."
"Thank you, sir. That's most appreciated." Taranaza gratefully replied. The spiderling was honestly glad that everyone was still willing to give him a chance after everything was said and done.
Meanwhile, Tartar had finished scanning the Darkness Loader and removed his data cable before crushing the foul device with his pincer. He then dropped the pieces on the ground and stomped on them in frustration for good measure. "Well, that was unhelpful. The power surge damaged the Darkness Loader's hard drive, so whatever data's left is badly corrupted. At best, I might be able to salvage data on GrandisKuwagamon that we could use for our own Xros Loader, but that's about it."
In the end, the group would ultimately agree with Hawkeye's idea to go back to ordering lunch. Back with the secret observer of the fight, the creator of the Darkness Loader was mildly annoyed that his work had been ruined so easily, but he easily brushed it off. "Ah, well. It was only a mere prototype, after all. I'll just have to make sure that future models are much more robust and well-protected."
The observer grabbed a nearby drink and slowly sipped it as he mulled over what else he'd seen through his spy drone. "The big issue, however, would be that Xros General and his followers. Former General Octavio Kelp, It is quite a surprise to see that you're still alive after all these years." [Exit thread}
