ESCALATION OF THE DRAMATIC KIND [B RANK MISSION]

Post by Kai Aizawa on Jun 4, 2023 2:29:23 GMT
"Slippery bitch-" Stingmon said as they would try to prepare their next move, angry that the hit didn't land on Cecilia's head. He was about to counter before suddenly a Hudiemon arrived trying to flirt with him. He visibly cringed at the flirtation attempt."Honey I'm about as gay as gay gets-" He said before suddenly wincing from the burning sensation in his foot as Cecillia's ink hit true, both of the two helped distract him long enough for him not to be able to see Octavio coming.
Octavio would land solid hits, almost knocking Stingmon over as he would stumble back in confusion. However using his wings an legs, he was able to regain his balance in spite of the Octopus digimon launching themself at him. "Get off before I make intergenerational sushi!" He yelled as he was still stumbling, before stepping on the mine made by Belle.
This explosion would knock him over, he tried hi best to plant face first while clutching Octavio, trying to make him soften the landing. He would try his best to tear off Octavio and pull him apart.
Meanwhile Woodmon was aware way too late about how he was surrounded, forced to blunt various types of attacks while the tower was being relentlessly assaulted. The tower was brutalized by the onslaught while Woodmon was occupied, screaming in pain. He couldn't afford to let the tower get any worse damaged as he saw the hole expanding and cracks forming. "ARBORIAL BARRIER!" He screamed raising his arms up high as large wooden roots rose from the ground and wrapped around the bottom half of the tower, before a second layer to cover the first.
Afterwards he turned to the Dorulumon and tried to deliver a powerful right hook as hard as he could despite the damage he was accumulating.

From the safety of where she found cover Kazumi sighed with relief at knowing Cecilia was alright. Even though her question went unheard by Octavio after he had turned into a raging papa bear before lunging at Stingmon in a stunt that would of made both Leroy Jenkins and face hugging aliens proud. "I knew paternal instincts could make humans a force to be reckoned with but with digimon they are likely to become many times more destructive angry than an angry human." Kazumi said mostly to herself but knew full well that from where they were that Shadow and Koko could hear her with their sharp canine hearing.
Meanwhile with Hudiemon it seemed her attempt at flirting didn't pay off but deciding not to let that get to her as she decided to take advantage of Stingmon trying to pull Octavio off of him. Fluttering her wings she flew up into the air her attention focused on Stingmon waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Then as Stingmon's back was to her and shortly after Stigmon stepped on Belle's mine, she saw it and said "Very well then. I always have a handsome Dorulumon to admire anyway. Flying Kick!" With that Hudiemon came down with an aerial drop kick aiming for Stingmon's back.
Back with Vemmon, Dorulumon, and Yuki Woodmon took on damage from the combined assault from Kazumi's and Octavio's forces. Not only that Yuki's assault on the tower with her Dark Inferno Bomb was successful in dealing quite a bit of damage. When Woodmon summoned a barrier of roots Yuki knew knocking down the tower would take more time. As for Dorulumon Woodmon was aiming a right hook for him. However the cunning canine wasn't going to make things that easy. The drill on his tail began to grow in size while spinning before he brought it in front of him as he said "Drill Tornado!" From the enlarged spinning drill a powerful gust of wind erupted forth heading right for Woodmon. Then an idea came to Yuki's mind as the short claws on her metal bracelets extended several feet. "Time for some gardening. Midnight Slash!" she said as she lashed out at the roots slashing with her claws.
OOC: Hudiemon tries to strike Stingmon from behind by drop kicking him from the air. Flying Kick: Flys up high before dropping on her opponent with an aerial drop kick.
Dorulumon uses his Drill Tornado to generate a powerful gust of wind directing it towards Woodmon. Drill Tornado: The drill on his tail grows while spinning until a powerful gust of wind blows forth.
Yuki slashes at the roots made by Woodmon. Midnight Slash: Uses the artificial extending claws to slash at opponents up to five feet away. Dark Inferno Bomb: Channels her energy into a large ball of dark energy roughly as big as she is before she throws it at her target. (Cooldown 1 post) Cooldown 1/1 post.
Afterwards he turned to the Dorulumon and tried to deliver a powerful right hook as hard as he could despite the damage he was accumulating.

The combined effort of Belle’s trap and Hudiemon’s attempt at dropkicking Stingmon managed to fling Octavio off of Stingmon’s face, sending the octopus Digimon flying into the air. Tartar quickly took into the air to catch Octavio with one arm, before swooping down and grabbing Cecilia with the other. With both passengers in hand, the Kokuwamon X struggled to lift them both into the air until they were hovering over Stingmon. “I can’t carry you both much longer, so act quickly.”
“Roger that. Evacuate the splash zone, everybody!” Octavio before addressing the other Digimon focusing on Stingmon. Octavio and Cecilia both grasped the other’s hand, before Tartar dropped the two. As they descended towards their target, the duo unleashed a combined ink vortex upon impact that covered everything in a 5m radius with a pink, corrosive ink (while also cushioning their fall. "Splashdown!"
After the combination attack finished, the two octo-based Digimon would quickly book it away from Stingmon in an attempt to avoid any potential reprisals from the Champion, running over to where Belle had taken cover. “Belle, considering what that bug tried doing to my daughter, now would be a very good time for you to get angry.”
“Oh, with pleasure!” Belle replied as her eyes shifted from blue to red. The fairy started laughing maniacally as she let her emotions buff up her stack power. “That punk is SO dead!”
Over by the tower, Laserbeak and Soundwave were out of named attacks that could work on Champions like Woodmon, so Laserbeak began pecking at Woodmon’s eyes while Soundwave focused on trying to pull away chunks of the roots surrounding the damaged tower. Soundblaster would join in by spinning the metal rings on his wrists to charge up electromagnetic power before punching at the roots with all of his might. Laserbeak: -Aerial Scout (passive): boosts evasion by 30% while flying -Missile Launch: 1/1 -Optical Camouflage: CD: 2/2
Soundwave: -Telepathy (passive): Soundwave is a natural telepath, allowing him to silently communicate with allies, as well as potentially dodge an incoming attack after reading an enemy's mind (The dodging function has an internal 2 post cooldown). -Optical Camouflage: cooldown 1/2 -Resonance Blaster: 1/4
Soundblaster: -Iron body (passive): Increases defense by 50%, lowers speed by 20%. -Resonance Cannon: 1/4 -Electromagnetic Knuckle: Ballistamon's wrist bracers spin to generate an electromagnetic force that is discharged through a powerful punch. 3 post cooldown, full piercing. (0/3)
Cecilia: -Splashdown: Kelp jumps into the air, and crashes down to spray corrosive ink over a 10m diameter. 3 post cooldown. (0/3)
Octavio: -Wasabi Beatdown: 1/2 -Splashdown: Octavio jumps into the air, and crashes down to spray corrosive ink over a 10m diameter. 3 post cooldown. (0/3)
Belle: -Toxic Coating (passive): Tinkermon coats her spear and claws with a specially-crafted poison that causes the enemy's body to become sluggish and hard to control, lowering their accuracy by 30% for 1 post after being stuck by her basic attacks. -Rune Trap: 1/3 -Rage Mode: Tinkermon goes into a berserk rage, increasing her attack power by 50% for three turns at the cost of a 10% reduction to her accuracy and defense. In this state, Tinkermon's eyes turn red instead of their usual blue color. 4 post cooldown. (Duration: 0/3)

"Owe, owe, owe! Get off me! What did I do to0 deserve this!" The Woodmon complained as he was being hit by barrage of attacks from all sides while his roots were being slowly broke down by the assault on the tower. Woodmon was bearing down as best he could as he was focusing on trying to suffer through the wind tunnel and other attacks being sent his way, leaving him unable to focus on countering Dorulumon or going after those attacking the tower.
Meanwhile Stingmon found himself suffering a fate worse then death as the wrath of an eight legged father came down hard on him as the ink splashed. Stingon felt the burn as he was soon sliding back, but not without getting his own scathing remarks on the entire subject. "SHE CAME AT ME FIRST! YOU CAN'T HAVE FATHERLY RAGE IF YOUR KID STARTS THE FIGHT AS THAT IS HONESTLY TOXIC PARENTING BY ENABLING HER INTO THINKING SHE CAN DO NO WRONG! SHE NEEDS TO LEARN DADDY CAN'T BAIL HER OUT EVERY TIME!" Stingmon yelled as he was sliding back and towards the Tower at a high speed before slamming into it head first, the acid on his head, and all the other attacks helped to severely weaken the roots as well as damage the tower further.
Stingmon nearly blacked out for a moment but through a pained struggle, and the rage as he felt several pieces of the tower break off and hit his face, fueled his rage. He slowly stood up and grabbed his brother by the eyes, slouched over breathing heavily. "Bro= wha- what are you doing- No not that, anything but that, I'm a good boy, you know I'm a good boy, please I am BEGGING YOU! SOMEONE SAVE ME! IT WAS HIS IDEA, I AM SO SORRY FOR ALL I HAVE DONE BUT SOMEONE PLEASE! Not this, not this..." Woodmon said as tears were flooding out of his eyes as Stingmon's hand tightened his grip.
"Shuddup you moron and be useful, DNA DIGIVOLUTION!" He screamed before in a flash of light the two Digimon merged together, Woodmon's screams and weeps could be heard before being suffocated out. The two merged into one large being before a roar could be heard as in place of either Digimon was a large Perfect Digimon, a beastly Petaldramon that started on two feet before crashing down onto all fours, wearing two dark rings on either front arm.
"Time to finish this-" Petaldramon said forgetting about their tail as it swung when they landed, cleaving right through the bottom of the Dark tower's base through the damaged parts before all the way through. "Oh you have got to be kidding me-" He managed to say before the tower fell hard right down onto his back before shattering.
For the generals of both armies, their Loaders would have their screens glow as the dark tower on a map was disappeared, freeing up normal Digivolution methods, Fusion included. "This ain't over yet!"
Dark Tower Integrity: 0%, Digivolution unlocked.
Stingmon and Woodmon DNA Digivolved into Petaldramon

The combined efforts of Belle and Hudiemon not only dislodged Octavio from Stingmon but also sent him flying fortunately to be caught by Tartar who had taken flight. Then Tartar grabbed Cecilia as well but it was clear that the Kokuwamon X couldn't hold the both of them for long so what ever they had in mind had to be done fast.
Octavio then told everyone to evacuate the splash zone and Hudiemon, who was the only one in Kazumi's army who was in said splash zone, nodded and fluttered her wings as she shot backwards to safety as both Octavio and Cecilia fired pink corrosive in at Stingmon in an attack called Splashdown. The attack struck Stingmon causing the bug clearly great pain and though Hudiemon was thinking about making a move to attack Stingmon she waited a moment before recklessly lashing out.
Back at the tower with Vemmon, Dorulumon, Yuki, Laserbeak, Soundwave, and Soundblaster Woodmon had asked what he had done to deserve what was happening. Dorulumon snorted clearly unamused before he said "Seriously? You steal a farm from its rightful owner possibly nearly killing him and then you install a dark tower on his land which blocks digivolution. Not only that you are eating the crops that don't belong to you. You and your accomplice deserve the beating you are getting."
Kazumi and her troops watched as Stingmon, covered with ink, crashed into the tower damaging it. Right then Hudiemon sure as hell was glad she didn't strike without thought as Stingmon forced Woodmon into a DNA digivolution. Kazumi and her forces watched as the pair transformed into an ultimate level Petaldramon. 'Just great. Things had to get out of hand didn't they?' Kazumi thought with a sigh.
Fortunately there was some good news at least as the dark tower collapsed and shattered from all the damage it had taken from everyones' efforts. At the sight of her Xros Loader coming to life Kazumi smiled before she said "Looks like this is not going to be so easy for you, Petaldramon. BlackAeroAgumon! Gaomon! Digi Xros!"
Yuki and Shadow began to glow and the two floated towards each other meeting midway merging into one. When the glowing ceased what appeared to be Yuki but covered in Shadow's blue fur and having four arms with boxing gloves on each of them with the lower arms also having the extendable claws on them. Then the being called out "BlackAeroAgumon X2!"
Kazumi, who was clearly not done yet, smiled before her Xros Loader continued glowing as she then said "Alright then Vemmon! Dorulumon! Hudiemon! Digi Xros!"
Like Yuki and Shadow did before Vemmon, Dorulumon, and Hudiemon began glowing before floating towards each other also meeting midway merging together. When the glowing stopped the new digimon looked like Vemmon with Hudiemon's wings on his back and half of one of Dorulumon's drills mounted on each arm as he called out "V-Vemmon X3!"
"Everyone else pull back and regroup!" Kazumi yelled and all her partners who weren't involved in the xrosses backed away from Petaldramon and took cover behind various things not far from Kazumi. Kazumi was putting faith in her champion and ultimate level xrosses.

Stingmon’s rant as he slid on the ink was not doing anything to relieve Octavio’s desire to tear the insect to shreds. In fact, it only made him angrier. “Oh, there’s so many things wrong with what you just said. One, that ‘scam’ was just meant to distract you while we take down the dark spire, and YOU are the one that started the fight by trying to kill her first.
However, the Stingmon decided to fall to a whole new level of low by forcing his own brother to DNA digivolve with him against his will. For a moment, instead of the two brothers merging into a Petaldramon, Octavio’s Xros Army could only see the memory of Thresh the Jewelbeemon forcing his own men to Xros with him using a Darkness Loader. It was only the sight of Petaldramon accidentally wrecking the tower themselves that snapped the group back to reality.
“Unforgivable.”
Octavio turned to Tartar, surprised that the scientist had spoken out like that.
“Forcing your own kin to DNA digivolve with you against his will? That is UNFORGIVABLE! I thought you to be little more than a rowdy hooligan, but I see now that you are a monster, Stingmon. No matter what, we WILL take you down and free your brother from your abuse!” Tartar shouted out as he took a stepped in front of Octavio and glared at the Ultimate-level dragon, before turning around and offering a pincer out to Octavio. “General, let’s take this beast down and hold nothing back up.”
“Now, THAT’s a plan I can get behind! Soundblaster, form up!” Octavio replied, as he shook his SIC’s hand. The black Ballistamon quickly hustled over to join Octavio and Tartar as the Xros General readied his Xros Loader.
“ShogunOctomon, Kokuwamon X, Ballistamon, Xros up! ShogunOctomon X3!” Octavio shouted as the trio combined, revealing the sight of Octavio piloting a floating mech with spiky arms. The Xros General wasn’t going to leave the rest of his team to dry, though, as he shared his plan for the B-team. “Soundwave, Laserbeak, Belle, Xros up to form-“
However, Belle was in no mood to listen as she flew straight at Petaldramon, caught up in her own berserk fury as she attempted to stab Petaldramon in the eyes with her spear.
Octavio facepalmed as he moved onto plan B. Justimon was less optimal than Jewelbeemon's speedy flight, but it'll have to do. The mecha would then pick Cecilia up and gently toss her over towards the telepathically-bonded duo, who made sure to have Laserbeak slow her down so that Soundwave could catch her. “Okay, Cecilia, swap in instead. Rubescemon, Ballistamon, Laserichmon, Xros up! Justimon Proto-X!”
Another flash of light, and the aforementioned trio combined into a unique form of Justimon that seemed to have the three types of Justimon arms crudely melded onto its body simultaneously in an attempt to emulate Justimon X. “EM Rider Hachi Mk.II, making our big debut to take down the forces of evil! I don't know if you can hear us, Woodmon, but we'll do our best to end this quickly and rescue you!”
Now, with three X3 and 1 X2 Digimon ready for combat, only fate would tell how much of a beatdown Petaldramon was going to receive in the near future.
Belle: -Toxic Coating (passive): Tinkermon coats her spear and claws with a specially-crafted poison that causes the enemy's body to become sluggish and hard to control, lowering their accuracy by 30% for 1 post after being stuck by her basic attacks. -Rune Trap: 2/3 -Rage Mode: Tinkermon goes into a berserk rage, increasing her attack power by 50% for three turns at the cost of a 10% reduction to her accuracy and defense. In this state, Tinkermon's eyes turn red instead of their usual blue color. 4 post cooldown. (Duration: 1/3)
ShogunOctomon X3: -Tinted Visor (passive): The tinted, reinforced glass cover the Octo-Knuckle's cockpit protects the pilot from bright lights and similar effects. The Octo-Knuckle is immune to abilities that would blind or otherwise lower the Octo-Knuckle's accuracy.
Justimon Proto-X EM Rider Hachi! : -Cybernetic Augmentations (passive): Justimon Proto-X's three cybernetic limbs increase their attack power by 50%, although the unbalanced weight does lower their speed and evasion by 10% each.

"Crap, this ain't a good situation..." Petaldramon said as he saw he was being surrounded by several fusions. He felt trapped and cornered with no way out of the scenario... until one was coming his way. Despite the toxic coating he knew that Belle was still one DIgimon, and given the fact he was surrounded by Xros Armies he felt condifent in their lack of ability to Digivolve. He would focus on Belle as he let her get close, but before she could stab him he would counter by lunging forward while opening his mouth to try to clamp down on the Tinkermon with her elbows caught in his jaw and her backside exposed.
"Nubudy muv, ur Ay turn da fury untu u shuhubub." He said out load, trying to say "Nobody move, or I turn the fairy into a Shishkabob" while not moving his lips more then he had to to try to speak but also keep Belle right where he wanted her as a hostage. He was clearly cornered at this point but taking a last ditch gamble. He would slam his front legs into the ground and created a wall of spikes in front of him as he tried to back away slowly.
It was clear he was not in a good position but he was trying to find his own way out, even if it was not the smartest decision. "Fuiry naeds a buth lak nu tumurah" He tried to mutter "Fairy needs a bath like no tomorrow." But despite the pain he trie his best to escape.

It was clear that Stingmon's rant had only succeeded in making Octavio angrier but then after Stingmon forced his brother Woodmon to DNA digivolve with the two becoming Petaldramon. Tartar, however, did not take kindly to Stingmon's actions toward his own brother vowing to take him down and free his brother from his abuse. Kazumi and her army were in full agreement with the Kokuwamon X's words but they didn't say anything about it.
Octavio then began forming xrosses with him being part of one of the two X3 forms he formed. Belle, who was intended to become one of the two, didn't seem to want to wait charging at Petaldramon which made Octavio form a different X3 form as plan B.
BlackAeroAgumon X2 was quick to notice that Petaldramon was waiting for Belle to come to him and said "Belle, stop! He is waiting for you to come! Pull back before...." It seemed like her words came to late as Bell was now trapped in Petaldramon's jaws with the fiend threatening to chomp down on the impulsive Tinkermon. Sure the words were muffled due to Petaldramon's mouth being full but anyone who paid enough attention could tell what was being said.
Though he created a wall of spikes which would keep any of the grounders at bay both Vemmon X3 and BlackAeroAgumon X2 were fliers and took to the air. BlackAeroAgumon X2 looked at Vemmon X3 and gestured to her wings with one gloved hand before pointing towards the rear side of Petaldramon. Vemmon X3 nodded and fluttered towards the back of Petaldramon on his butterfly wings. Meanwhile BlackAeroAgumon X2 had an idea even though it was unorthodox and definitely not what her light weight but durable metal wings were intended for.
"Defensive Edge!" BlackAeroAgumon X2 said as her metal wings extended but instead of moving in front to shield her, which wouldn't have been helpful since her wings would of only protected against the attack of a champion digimon. Instead the wings extended heading for Petaldramon's jaws trying to use them to pry open Petaldramon's jaws to free Belle.
Meanwhile Vemmon X3 had made it behind Petaldramon and aimed for the flowery dragon's behind before his wings fluttered and said "Infinity D-Dream!" From the butterfly wings on his back came a shimmering dust. If successful this dust would literally be a pain in Petaldramon's ass.
OOC: Defensive Edge: The metallic wings on her back extend in front of her to protect herself from one attack of user's level or lower. (Cooldown of two posts) Cooldown 0/2 posts. Infinity Dream: Blows a shimmering dust from his wings. The dust can bring pain to his opponents.

Belle was cursing at the precarious position she found herself in, wedged in the Petaldramon’s mouth as a hostage. She knew how easy it would be for Petaldramon to finish her off, and was well aware that it was all her own fault for rushing in like an effing idiot. And yet, despite the indignity of the situation, the Tinkermon refused to give up and kept trying to wriggle her way out of Petaldramon’s blocky teeth.
On the outside, Belle’s allies were glaring at Petaldramon with nothing but pure hatred. ShogunOctomon would voice his and Justimon’s shared opinion as he made it very clear how much of a mistake their opponent had made. “Petaldramon, I can personally swear to Yggdrasil that if you don’t release her right now, you’re going to die.”
When Kazumi’s allies charged in to help Belle, ShogunOctomon X3 and Justimon Proto-X were right behind them. ShogunOctomon X3 started off by holding out his arms while the spikes mounted on them fired off towards Petaldramon like missiles. Even if the plant dragon tried dodging, the flying spikes would track him and dodge the dragon’s own wall of spikes as they followed their intended trajectory. The spike missiles would end up lodging themselves between Petaldramon’s teeth to prevent him from fully biting down on Belle. The only way to get rid of the spikes, once lodged, would involve opening his mouth and giving Belle a chance to escape.
Meanwhile, Justimon would make like lightning and sprint towards Petaldramon. Once there, Justimon would make like Raiden from the Metal Gear series and literally run up Petaldramon’s front right leg, using their oversized Critical Arm to try and sever the limb at the shoulder with a powerful plasma blade.

"Yuv gaut ta bae kidin ma!" Petaldramon said trying to say "You got to be kidding em!" in response to the approach of the attacks. The dust was painful and made him wince in pain as he was attacked from all sides. The stinging powder, the amputation of a limb, and the wedges in his mouth. In a desperate gamble he would struggle with, running out of options as he couldn't run without his arm. He was leaking data an d knew his best bet would be to hunker down. He Bent his neck as forward as much as possible before quickly opening his jaw while trying to slam his head down in an attempt to swallow the Tinkermon.
"Stay down... stay down... I am in control-" He said as his body was shaking, in a drastic amount of pain. It looked as though hey may have been struggling to keep Tinkermon down but in truth the pain he was feeling was revealing it was more harder to maintain his form. His body was shaking violently before in a flash of light the large form fell apart. Belle would be relatively unharmed but suddenly in the place of the giant Petaldramon were the two Rookie Forms of Mushmon and Wormmon, with Wormmon covered in bruises and looking worse for ware, with barely any energy left before collapsing.
"FREE, I'M FREE!"
Mushmoon stood up quickly, in a state of panic before running off with his arms in the air screaming, crying tears of joy as he tried to make his escape while the Wormmon was still down. "Weakling... I don't need you. I don't need anyone. I'm strong on my own...." The Wormmon said as his eyes were full of rage, still in the fight. "I don't need anyone else to help me rid this world of humans, to take back what was stollen, to avoid being called a grunt and beaten down day after day, hearing those celebrations of 'beating the grunt NPCs', humans enslaving Digimon..." He said as his backstory was slowly sstarting to form.
"I'm strong, I'll take what I want, take back the world from the corruption one bit at a time... Clean everything..." He said slowly starting to crawl towards Kazumi, only one of his stingers was under his control as he was barely moving his body, wheezing all along.
"That right? I see." Came the voice of Gus as he was walking up to inspect the remains of his land. removing his hat as there was absolutely nothing left of what he spent decades building. "Son as an Orthodox Digimon myself I can tell you looking at that girl over there makes my guts scream everything about her is wrong and needs to be expunged too." He said pointing at Kazumi for a moment. "I can understand wanting to wipe her and any trace of her kind from this world to preserve what should be our way of life, for me and plenty others that feels right on some level, but the moment we stoop to what feels right without thinkin' about what really is right or wrong, we done give up our ability to find the right way. Instincts are powerful but they ain't a foolproof method. If we let ourselves give into basic impulses we get clouded, corrupted, stuck in a loop that becomes the past and miss out on a whole lot of good things that can come from preppin' the future."
He said as he would turn to Kazumi. "Apologize for what I said ma'am, just needed to let the youngin' know just exactly where he went wrong in the head." He said putting his head on his chest as he Digivolved back to his Prairemon form.
"See boy, I had this land cultivated and raised well before the idea for Rosewood, they had zero clue I was out here, I just did a lot of business with them cause the opportunity came to my door, I didn't let any hidden feelings get in the way of what I needed for business, nor when I was on ma knees beggin' for help. This land was farmed by Digimon hands, ain't no corruption by humans here, in fact the general over there's probably the first one ever here and you are the one that made her come here." He said as Wormmon's eyes widened with shock.
"Wha- I forced a human somewhere- No that isn't right, humans are the vile one forcing themselves into this world, but... I... ERGH!" He slammed his stinger into the ground in frustration.

The efforts of BlackAeroAgumon X2 and ShogunOctomon X3's efforts to wedge Petaldramon's jaws open found themselves quite successful as did the efforts of Justimon Proto-X's efforts to to amputate Petaldramon's leg. Just then the pain causing dust from Vemmon X3's Infinity Dream added to Petaldramon's pain causing the plant dragon to make an attempt to try and swallow Belle.
Kazumi was getting nervous at the sight and then Petaldramon, whose body was shaking in pain, was flashing in a bright light before the DNA form separated into the two rookie forms of Wormmon and Mushmon. Wormmon looked as if he didn't have much energy left though. Then Mushmon began making his escape which none of Kazumi's forces interferred with.
The crisis seemingly over Kazumi's forces began dedigivolving back into their rookie forms. When Wormmon called his brother weak and said he was strong on his own before saying he didn't need help ridding the Digital World of Humans, Shadow approached Wormmon but stayed far enough away to avoid being lashed out at. Then the blind Gaomon snorted before he said "You lost before you started, Wormmon, because not only do you not treat your brother with respect you basically used him as your slave when DNA digivolving. If you two had a close bond you might not be in this mess right now."
As Wormmon began crawling towards Kazumi Vemmon moved protectively infront of her letting out a warning hiss from his mandibles before holding up his pinchers clicking them in warning as well. "I'm w-warning you, Wormmon. If y-you know what's good for you then you'd better stay back!" Vemmon snarled before hissing again.
Then as Gus began speaking his words made Vemmon stop hissing and clicked his mandibles in anger before Kazumi said "Easy there, Vemmon. I can understand not all digimon are comfortable with humans but since the worlds are connected it was a matter of time before both humans and digimon became aware of each other anyway." Then when Gus apologized before shortly after digivolving back into Prairiemon, Kazumi then said "Please don't mind Vemmon, Gus. Ever since I helped him when I found him injured in the Human World when we first met he has become quite protective of me."
Yuki then, while shaking the drool from her metallic wings with a look of disgust, approached Wormmon as she said "Not one of my best ideas in the many years I've been alive." Then she stopped near Shadow, looked at Wormmon and then said "You are wrong about humans not belonging in this world, Wormmon. If they weren't needed here then we wouldn't have humans that are destined to come here or digivices of any kind." Yuki's tone of voice sounded as if it reflected a digimon of a sense of wisdom brought on by a digimon of her age.

It seemed that, in trying to open his mouth and swallow Belle in a last ditch-effort to double down on his threat to harm the Tinkermon, he overlooked one crucial detail: Belle could fly. The instant the jaws opened up, she immediately pushed herself off and spread her wings, flying as far away from he captor as she could. “Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!”
With Petaldramon crippled and Belle having regained her freedom, ShogunOctomon X3 and Justimon Proto-X bothe prepared to charge in and take their foe down… only it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary. Due to the Woodmon’s unwilling participation in the Jogress, adding in the damage already dealt, it seemed that Petaldramon’s body was tearing itself apart. It ultimately ended up with the plant-based dragon splitting back into Wormmon and Mushroomon. Of the two, it seemed that Mushroomon was in the better shape, having decided to ditch his abusive brother and run off celebrating his freedom.
With the primary threat seemingly defeated, ShogunOctomon X3 split back into his three components, while Justimon seemed… hesitant to do the samae. The cyborg Digimon spent a moment staring in the direction Mushroomon ran off in, before clenching their Blitz Arm’s hand as they made a decision. “Sorry, guys. I’ve got something to take care of real quick.”
Octavio could tell what Justimon was thinking from the cyborg’s body language, and simply nodded his permission. “Do what you need to do. We’ll wait for you.”
“Thank you.” Justimon replied, before running off after Mushroomon. Mushroomon may have had a head start on Justimon, but Justimon wanted to catch up to him and make sure he was doing okay, both physically and mentally.
Back with the main group, a disgusted Belle rejoined the remaining three members of the team as Wormon started ranting about how he was strong and was going to take back the DW from human corruption and whatnot. The Wormmon’s words seemed to have some kind of effect on Tartar, who slowly shook his head in disappointment. “No, Wormmon. All you’ve done with your so-called strength, vandalizing a farm, enslaving your own brother into DNA Digivolvine with you, beating the owner and forcing him to leave… don’t you see that you’re doing the exact same thing those humans did to you?”
“I don’t even know what the big issue involving humans is. I may have only met a couple of them so far, but they just seemed like normal people, not like how you’re describing them.” Octavio chimed in. “But I suppose there's something more important to discuss here. Namely, what are we going to do with this punk now? "Cuz I tell you, I'm sorely tempted to wring his neck for what he did.”

"Octavio, if I may say, I've met some folks like the youngin' described. Not all humans are able to properly cope with the world so they ration that they somehow entered a game of sorts, I've had a few come up to me demanding quests or somethin' and I heard a few others thought other free Digimon were meant for something they called grinding. Those sort of slowed down as of late but plenty have been scarred afterwards, unaware of hate that could've been created." He said as he wasn't making excuses for either side but not trying to be unreasonable either. "Vile humans, laughing, calling our pain 'good graphics and voice acting'... Being torn apart... how else are we supposed to cope? To strike back? Lay back and die over and over again so kids can run about laughing?"
"Plenty of paired Digimon are fresh out of creation and don't know better. However Wormmon, as these lot made clear, you're the only one pushing a cycle of hatred. You became so poisoned by grief and misery you replaced that cycle of ignorance with a cycle of hatred. One that lead you to hurt everybody, you were wronged boy, but you let that make you wrong others, dragging others into your mess. I ain't holding a grudge, not when the very same circumstance could've happened to me." He said before he took off his hat and reached deep inside, pulling out a healing item and a small sum of Bits. He used the item on Wormmon before handing him the bits.
"Wha- what are you doing?" He said confused. "This is enough scratch to get you to Eldoradimon and buy a good meal along the way. Take it, get your head on straight in the last place left you can." He said as the Wormmon stared at him with fury. "The catch?" He said confused and looked at the smiling farmer. "I want you to think along the way and when you et there, what's right. I guarantee you that nearly a large portion of Digimon there ever met a human." He said as Wormmon snatched the bits from him and started to storm off before stopping. "Thanks I guess. Sorry I harmed a fellow Orthodox Digimon." He said as Gus smiled, waving as he walked away.
Meanwhile Mushmon was still running and screaming, the experience definitely traumatizing as he didn't stop running.

Yuki glanced over at Belle who was understandably disgusted with being trapped in Petaldramon's jaws and said "I totally agree with you there Belle. That was absolutely disgusting. I definitely don't plan on making a regular habit of sticking my wings in another digimon's mouth no matter how resilient to damage my wings are." Yuki glanced back at her metal wings flapping drool still being shaken off her wing which were somehow only slightly dented. These wings were incredible making her wonder just what they were made of.
Kazumi and her group listened as Tartar spoke his mind and Octavio was wondering what to do with Wormmon. Would turning Wormmon into the authorities be the right thing to do seeing as he was so consumed by hate that he had acted no better than some of both worlds' worst. Then Gus explained that not all humans were capable of properly coping with being in the Digital World even thinking it was a game which made Vemmon click his mandible in thought before the small purple bug like digimon said "D-Definitely sounds like those humans not only weren't fit to be digidestined b-but also weren't willing to listen to their partners who likely were trying to guide them. I am g-glad such humans don't seem to be common anymore. S-Still to not be able to tell the difference between a video game and real life is crazy to think about. I m-mean I love video games as much as the next person but if I acted t-that way when I first came to the Human World....." Vemmon shuddered before he continued "N-Never mind I seem to have went off on a tangent."
Then when Gus offered Wormmon money to get him to Eldoradimon and buy a meal, Yuki said "While I wouldn't call myself an orthodox digimon by any means, heck I never was one even when I was a youngster experiencing my first life, I would say if Wormmon doesn't want to deal with humans that Eldoradimon would be a good place to go. I've been there in my first life and lived there for a few years while figuring out what direction my business would take and despite the locals dislike of humans I found most of them pretty kind digimon. Wormmon you also might also want to reconnect with your brother one day and apologize to him for being so terrible to him. When he calms down hopefully you two will be able to reconnect."
Lalamon then began floating over to Wormmon and Shadow turned his head in her direction before asking "Lady Lalamon?"
When she got to Wormmon in her stubby arms there seemed to be some rare medicinal plants in her grip which she set down in front of Wormmon before she said "Here take these herbs with you as well. They may come in handy in the future." She then set some written notes with drawings of each plant explaining what each herb was good for and said "I know a bit about plants and even before Shadow and I joined Kazumi I made money by searching for and selling various plants. You can have these no charge. Don't worry I can always gather more later."

It seemed like everything was being resolved relatively neatly. Farmer Gus got his farm back, albeit in a wrecked state. The Dark Spire was nothing but rubble now. Wormmon seemed to have learned a lesson and was being let go-wait, what?
"Now, hold on just a moment here. I think you guys are forgetting something." Octavio called out, snapping his claws as a signal for Soundblaster and Tartar to move in front of Wormmon and block his path. "We're not quite done here yet, bucko."
While Octavio could feel some sympathy for Wormmon's past, the octopus Digimon still had something to settle with the Wormmon. "Now, there's two reasons why we can't just let you go, Wormmon. Reason #1: you set up an illegal dark spire on this here farm. That alone should be enough of a reason for us to drag you to Rosewood and hand you over to the local authorities, and I heard that dark spires are something they take very seriously. As for Reason #2?"
As he spoke, Octavio slowly scuttled his way over to Wormmon's location until he was face-to-face with the bug, looking him dead in the eye. The Xros General's voice was quiet when he next spoke, but there was an underlying steel to it that showed he meant business. "You and I have a score to settle over trying to harm. My. Family." Meanwhile, Justimon was getting tired of Mushroomon running away from them screaming, flinging their scarf out until it caught on a nearby tree. This allowed Justimon to use their momentum to swing up into the air and leap in front of Mushroomon, gently placing their Blitz Arm's hand on top of Mushroomon's mushroom cap to get him to hold still.
"Whoa, whoa. Calm down, little guy, I'm NOT going to hurt you! I'm just here to talk."Justimon quickly explained, attempting to soothe the traumatized mushroom before he ended up hurting himself or something. "I just want to make sure you're okay after what you've been through. I made a promise to help you when your brother forced you to fuse with him, and I intend to _keep it_." Justimon: -Zipcaster: Justimon uses their scarf like a grappling hook/tether to latch onto a nearby surface and quickly pull Justimon out of the way of an incoming attack. Not effective against piercing moves, for some reason. 2 post cooldown. (0/2)
