Troubleshooting on a computer is never a stressless task, but Vemmon is more than knowledgeable enough to navigate through the process of restoring yellow's memory. Vemmon stops the upload without the original data being corrupted. The mechs put yellow's legs back on and close him up. A light flashes on yellow's head as he slowly comes to. The mech sees Vemmon and looks around in confusion.
"Argh, what, what's going on?" "Welcome back, yellow. There's lots to update you on."
Blue explains how Dastex cannot be trusted. The mech who already had a bone to pick with the leader was an easy sell on the plan. Blue also lets yellow know that Kazumi and her friends are helping, and Vemmon handled the process of restoring his memories.
"I knew that Dastex is no good. Sounds like a long time coming. And Vemmon, thank you for helping me. I guess I was in the wrong to judge your group unfairly."
That is the first time blue can recall the stubborn yellow mech admitting to making a mistake. Blue gives yellow a friendly pat on the shoulder while appearing quite concerned with the situation.
"I was worried we lost ya. Losing a comrade is a devastating feeling."
Yuki agrees with blue selection of purple for the spy mission. The experienced dragon suggests making the spy equipment unnoticeable. The others agree without hesitation. Dastex would have no reason to suspect the almost undetectable modifications. Not that he paid too much attention to his lackeys. After the modifications, purple salutes his allies and gets ready to set out.
"I will do my best. Dastex knows I prefer to be professional. He should trust me."
Purple heads out, and the mechs turn their attention to Nanomon's destroyed computer. Upon closer inspection, the core of the computer is mostly unharmed. The command console is badly damaged and beyond repair. If they can get the computer going, Vemmon could sync up to it to issue commands without the need of the console. The mechs search around for a monitor they can use. While they are restoring the computer, Wormmon crawls up next to Kazumi.
"It's crazy how you guys got roped into this mess. I hear it was my ship's fault you got brought in for questioning. I'm sorry for such a hassle."

Between Vemmon's troubleshooting and the hard work of those fixing Yellow's body the mech was soon good as new. A light on Yellow's head slowly turning on being the clue he was coming around. After the mech spotted Vemmon he was understandably confused.
Then Blue explained to the confused Yellow about what was going on with Dastex and that Kazumi and her forces had been helping out. Not only that Blue also mentioned that Vemmon was the one who restored his memories.
"I understand y-you not trusting me or my group especially seeing as I have a fairly intimidating appearance. Usually t-those who see me with Kazumi have similar reactions on occasion." Vemmon said in a calm tone and as Blue mentioned being worried that they had lost Yellow Vemmon then said "B-Blue wasn't the only one who was worried about you. S-Seems when you were hurt you had a whole room of folks concerned about your health."
Yuki's suggestion regarding making the spying modifications undetectable was something that multiple folks in the garage agreed with. As Purple saluted his allies Yuki said, "Good luck getting the information, Purple."
As for the core of the computer it seemed in good shape and the mechs in the room began searching around for a usable monitor. Watching this Vemmon said "C-Couldn't we hook the core of Nanomon's computer up through Medicmon's monitor? W-Well that is if Medicmon is cool with it that is."
When Wormmon crawled up to Kazumi and apologized for creating such a hassle the red head looked down at the little bug and said "It's okay, Wormmon. Traveling while selling medicinal herbs Lalamon finds can sometimes lead to trouble. I am glad I have such patient partners."

Vemmon understands why yellow did not trust Kazumi and her Digimon friends at first. The insect's appearance has intimidated others before. Vemmon mentions there were lots of Digimon concerned for his wellbeing. Yellow kind of grumbles to himself, trying to act tough, but one can tell the mech is truly touched. Maybe the grumpy mech has a soft spot after all.
Yuki wishes purple good luck as the mech embarks on a treacherous spy mission. Purple smiles confidently, but he couldn't help but feel nervous. The red and blue mechs in his squad watch as he leaves.
"Purple should handle this, no problem. He is a fine squad mate and maybe the best at keeping cool under pressure." "Right, but this is an espionage mission. Purple is not the best at lying or acting." "Jealous you are not going instead?" "Of course not! His mission is noble, but I wouldn't want to be the one trying to trick Dastex."
Maybe there was a bit of a professional rivalry between the two mechs. They did seem more stable than yellow and brighter than their green counterpart. They did both complete their missions, so perhaps a party and some pats on the back were in order at a later time.
As the Imperials search for a monitor, Vemmon suggests using Medicmon's screen for the feed captured by the spy. Nanomon seems to think it's a fine idea. Medicmon appears less than thrilled.
"Normally yes, but in this case, absolutely not! There is much I can do, but it would be quite difficult to display the spy feed and computer on my monitor, while still checking vitals." "Maybe you should take a break on playing nurse for now? You are a good doctor, but you've checked my vitals four times in the last half hour." "Hmm, maybe you are right. Okay, then."
Nanomon plugs a cord into Medicmon's monitor and hooks the other end up to what is left of his computer. The medic brings up the spy feed while they work on repairs. When Wormmon mentioned the hassle Kazumi got involved in, the Xros General seems cool about it, stating there is a level of danger that comes with trading herbs. The good thing is Kazumi's party seems large and strong enough to deal with quite a lot of danger.
Purple reaches the doors to the command center. One of the guards calls out to the mech over the intercom asking his purpose. Purple declares Nanomon sent him, and the guard reluctantly opens the door. Dastex can be seen standing in the command center with grey steel added to his outfit and a large spiky dark gauntlet covering the entirety of his right arm. Dastex gives purple a puzzled look.
"Greetings, mech. What is your business here?" "There are signs of the intruder again. Nanomon sent me to ensure your safety." "Hmm, so Nanomon sent you, you say? Where was the intruder spotted?" "In the halls leading to the mainframe. I was on the way back when I detected his presence." "Ah. Tell me, is this intruder a Wormmon?" "No, sir. Well, I'm not quite sure what Wormmon's motives are. Though, I did see the cloaked figure as described before."
"Interesting. Well then, I welcome your protection. And good job on completing your mission. You are one of the few piles of scrap around here that is worth a damn." "T-thank you, Lord Dastex. I know my comrades try hard, as well." "Do not flatter them. I am not as oblivious to my troops as some would believe. Did you think I do not hear about the rumors floating around?" "Rumors, my lord?"
"I am well aware of the criticisms you mechs have of me. You think I am an uncaring ruler, that I do not bother to keep track of my mechs. Well, I have been keeping very good track, of your squad as well." "So, you know about green's secret pony figurine stash? I know red has told him half a dozen times he's not allowed to keep them in his locker. Ah haha, ha." "I appreciate you trying to lighten the mood, but we have more important matters to attend to."
Dastex motions for purple to join him next to the command console. It appears only Dastex, purple, and a pair of weak guards by the door are in the command center. Blisha walks out of a side room wearing black and red lingerie holding a leather paddle and a bottle of champagne, but she sees purple and quickly scampers off back to the room before the mech notices her. Thank all the gods that the spy camera did not show that.

Vemmon wasn't put off by Yellow trying to come off as tough as the little purple visor wearing bug figured that almost everyone had a soft side even if it was very deep beneath the surface. Vemmon listened to Red and Blue's discussion before he decided to contribute by saying "P-Purple should be okay as long as he doesn't go out of his way by saying more than he needs too. If h-he keeps things simple ya know."
"Agreed as long as he just sticks to gathering information and not trying to deceive Dastex more than lying about being there to guard him he should be fine." Yuki then said putting her own thoughts on the matter into the conversation.
As the hunt for the monitor continued it seemed Vemmon's suggestion to borrow Medicmon's screen for a bit to handle the feed from Purple's spy equipment was something the medic wasn't fond of. Fortunately, Nanomon was able to talk Medicmon into letting them use his screen.

Vemmon believes purple should be fine on the spy mission as long as he keeps it simple. Yuki agrees and thinks the mech will be fine as long as he doesn't lie to Dastex any more than he needs to. What almost compromises the mission is that Dastex saw Wormmon traveling with the mech, but fortunately, purple is able to talk his way out of it. It seems as though Dastex is skeptical, but trusts purple enough to buy his story.
The guards let another mech into the command center, this time the green mech. Dastex gives green a confused and frustrated expression and demands and explanation.
"I was accompanying the security officer back to his post, but then he took off and I got lost, so I came here." "This is the useless kind of machine that I was talking about. Your incompetence has hindered us for the last time."
Lord Dastex raises his right arm out. The sound of metal bending fills the room. Green panics and doesn't understand what's going on. The green mech slides across the floor towards Dastex. Green's body starts to break apart into smaller pieces. The metal plating surrounds Dastex and binds to his body. Green's severed limbs become attached to Dastex, and green is no more. Purple watches on in complete horror.
"No! Green! How can you do this?!" "I have no use for rubbish mechs. At least this way, his parts will still serve the glorious Iron Imperials. Now then, let's take a look at this guard."
Dastex turns to the screen and pulls up some camera feeds. He spots the red-haired guard along the path to the cells. The human finds Annie's cell and uses Blisha's security card that he stole from her to shut off the energy field. Annie recognizes the human and the two of them hug.
"Dante!" "Are you okay, Annie?" "I'll be fine now that you are here." "Come on, let's find a way out of here."
Dastex watches on is disbelief. The name Dante echoes inside his skull. The security officer posing as Rob is none other than the most diabolical and cunning Tamer Dastex has ever heard of. Purple notices that Dastex seems very familiar with the Tamer. Dastex fires a wrist cannon similar to the ones displayed by the mech squad at the main computer and blows it to smithereens. Metal parts begin floating around Dastex and bind to his ever increasingly mechanical body.
"Dante, thee Dante?! The time to go all out has come. Guards, I want all mechs present in the arena immediately."
Purple follows Dastex as the two of them exit the command center and start making their way towards the arena. And announcement plays on speakers throughout the base demanding everyone report to the arena. Nanomon is mortified by what purple's camera had captured.
"That crazy bastard is going to absorb us all into his abomination of a machine body." "I say it's time we eliminate Dastex completely."
Blue cocks his wrist cannon as the mechs grieve their lost clumsy green companion. Red lowers his head and sad walks past Yuki. Wormmon gives Kazumi a concerned look.
"This isn't good. At this rate, more Digimon will be destroyed. It doesn't look like this will end peacefully."
The mechs get ready to set out. It is clear to them that it is very likely many of them will either be destroyed or absorbed into Dastex's body through the power of the cross gauntlet. Nanomon turns to Kazumi and her party.
"This is our last stand. We appreciate any help we can get. Hopefully we can stop this maniac."

Dastex appeared to believe Purple but through the camera the sight of something appalling in the form of Dastex blasting the terrified looking Green to pieces. The mechs in the garage and Purple alike weren't the only ones who were mortified as Kazumi and her partners looked on in shock at the sight of the image captured on Purple's camera. It seemed Lord Dastex was more of a monster than the red headed general and her army alike feared he was.
While Nanomon and Wormmon voiced their concerns outwardly towards Dastex Blue said it was time they eliminated Dastex completely. Then Nanomon turned to Kazumi saying they could appreciate any help they could get. Kazumi glanced wordlessly at her team and, as if her partners appeared in deep thought for a moment, they all nodded at their general in agreement. Kazumi looked back towards Nanomon and said "It seems I'm not the only one in agreement that Dastex needs to be stopped. We need to prevent as many innocent lives from being lost as we can but we also can't be reckless in the way we approach dealing with bringing that maniac down."

Kazumi says that Dastex needs to be stopped and her Digimon partners agree. The Xros General mentions they need to save as many innocent lives as they can. Nanomon strokes his chin, pondering on how to approach a clearly dangerous maniac. Medicmon appears quite concerned for his mechanical allies.
"Heading to the arena could be like lambs to slaughter, but we need to fight him head on." "That is shortsighted. Any mechanical beings are in grave danger near Dastex. We should keep as many mechs away from the arena as we can and rely heavily on Kazumi's forces."
Blue is frustrated that Dastex has such an advantage over his kind. He wants to bring the fight right to their leader as well.
"He can't defeat all of us. We have numbers on our side. Let's blast him until there is nothing left."
Many mechs agreed with either a full on attack or retreating their mechs. Both sides make their case. If they choose to engage directly, they would assemble all they could and charge in, while the other option is finding as many as they could and telling them to avoid the arena. More lives would be spared if they flee, but they would have less forces to fight with and Kazumi's party would take a brunt of the heavy lifting. Wormmon turns to Yuki to see what the wise dragon thinks of the situation.
Dante and Annie are fleeing down the halls when they hear the sound of metal feet marching forward. Around the corner walks a mech Digimon with a more humanlike shape than the other mechs. The Digimon is covered in smooth bright steel armor with purple lining. Her helmet is also smooth with a white visor covering the eyes. She has a large gatling gun strapped to her back. The mech Digimon marches towards Dante and Annie and cracks her knuckles.
"Think you can make a fool of me? Now the joke is on you." "Blisha! Annie, run!"

Kazumi looked over the mechanical beings in the room as Medicmon had a point and after thinking for a moment the red-haired human said "While Blue has a point about Dastex not being able to beat all of us we should at least show some degree of caution especially in how we place everyone. Since Dastex seems to have an edge over the machines in his land perhaps my mostly organic troops should be in front with the mechs providing backup."
Yuki listened as the mechs in the garage made cases for attacking or retreating. Then she noticed how Wormmon was looking at her and she said "I think we should have someone who was not eager to fight evacuate the mechs who are too injured to do so and then we should make our move. Besides we still have Wormmon's friend to find, don't we?"
"Fortunately, I have access to the power of the Digi Xros if needed." Kazumi said as she was figuring how best to move out. Perhaps she should let her partners follow digimon instinct on this one because this was the first time she was involved in bringing down someone as cruel and uncaring as Lord Dastex.

Kazumi's and Yuki's words were indeed wise and practical. Kazumi suggests putting her troops in front and leaving the more vulnerable machine Digimon to provide backup. That would make it more difficult for Dastex to absorb their bodies. Yuki suggests having someone not eager to fight to evacuate the injured mechs. Everyone seems to agree with this plan. It saved the most vulnerable while still bringing plenty of firepower.
Yuki also mentioned that they needed to find Wormmon's friend. Wormmon volunteers go to look for Dante and Annie, assuming them to be near the holding cells. Medicmon volunteers to gather the weaker machine troops and lead them away from the fight. Before they set out, Nanomon gathers everyone in the garage for a speech.
"This is an important day. Many lives will be lost, but you will not be forgotten. Today, we cut the head off of the snake, and the Iron Imperials will grow stronger in the long run without Dastex. We will elect a new leader. I am fully confident in both the abilities of our troops and the strength of the Xros General Kazumi. Together, we can stop Dastex and carve out a better live for ourselves. Too often we have done dishonorable things to profit off exploiting the innocent. Today, we fight for honor. It is not treason to stick up for your fellow comrades. All hail the Iron Imperials!"
"And stick it up Dumbasstex's rump!"
Medicmon sets off to round up injured and weak Imperials to lead them to safety. Wormmon sets off to locate Dante and Annie. The yellow mech leads the rest towards the arena. A loud metal sound can be heard off in the distance. What was Dastex planning?
Dante and Annie take off running. Dante grabs a steel cart full of boxes and tips it over to slow Blisha down. The Digimon bolts forward with jets on her feet and back. A glowing bright violet trail is left in her stead like a soaring comet. She flies over the mess with ease. Blisha grabs Annie's arm and throws her against the wall. Annie collapses to the floor in pain. Dante screams in horror and reaches out towards Annie. Blisha grabs Dante by the neck and lifts him up.
"This is what happens when you cross Suiseimon. Suffer!"
Apparently, Blisha is a Spirit Wielder, and this Suiseimon form is nothing to mess around with. Suiseimon slams Dante back first onto the floor. Dante feels the pain shoot up his spine. Suiseimon lifts Dante's limp body back up and slams him down again. Dante gasps for air and breathes heavily. Suiseimon searches his pockets for her security card. She finds her card as well as Dante's cigarettes and lighter.
"Look what we have here." Suiseimon's helmet retracts open at the bottom to reveal her mouth. She places a cigarette between her dark lips and lights it up. Dante speaks in a groggy tone.
"Don't smoke my cigarettes, you sadistic bitch." "You're not in a position to be making demands, you vile worm!"
Suiseimon stomps down on Dante's ribs. Dante hacks and coughs as he struggles to breathe. Suiseimon lifts both Dante and Annie up on her shoulders. "Lord Dastex will be most pleased. You won't fool me this time."

Kazumi and her partners, like everyone else, listened to Nanomon's speech after Medicmon began evacuating the injured digimon. There was great logic in a medic evacuating with them as he could keep an eye on their conditions better than a non-healer-oriented type of digimon.
Yuki had an idea so after Nanomon finished his speech the older digimon said "Perhaps what would also keep Dastex from picking off the machine types is them attacking from a distance. At least those capable of that should do so anyway."
One thing Kazumi and her forces agreed with Wormmon on was kicking Dastex's rump which is indeed what they intended to do. As Wormmon left to find Dante and Annie Yellow began leading everyone towards the arena as a loud sound was heard in the distance that was even loud enough for those without the enhanced hearing of the three canines in Kazumi's army. Upon hearing the loud noise Kazumi positioned herself just behind her digimon so she wasn't an open target.

The moods varied among the mechs as they march to the arena. Some were optimistic and eager for the chance to run Dastex out of town. Others are intimidated by the risk of crossing Dastex, and felt like they were walking to their deaths. Yuki mentioned that the mechs could attack at range to avoid being picked off. This could certainly serve them well as most of the mechs are equipped primarily for ranged combat.
The loud noise could be heard by all, but no one was sure exactly what it was. Some of the more aware Digimon could detect a vibration traveling through the metal of the Tera Stronghold. Whatever it was, it must be something big. The group reaches a large arched doorway leading to sections for seating. Several areas for seating circle a massive open area made completely of metal. The arena really does resemble something of a sports stadium than something one would normally expect in a military base.
Digimon from all over the stronghold gather to the arena and take their seats. There is an aisleway that leads to the center floor when the time for fighting arrives. On the far north side is a balcony that stretches out into the open. There is a large door on both the north and south sides with seating being mainly on the east and west while wrapping around much of the south side as well. Nanomon and yellow lead others to take a seat on the west side. Digimon are murmuring in anticipation when all of a sudden, bright lights focus on the balcony. Lord Dastex walks out covered in metal parts stolen from Digimon. Next to him stands the purple mech.
"Greetings, Iron Imperials. Today is a glorious day for our organization. In spite of a deceptive and destructive surprise attack on our home, the Imperials will shine brighter in victory than anyone could imagine. The days where man and Digimon are separate are no more. Join me, and together, we will bring the Digital World into the genesis of a new era of prosperity!"
Yellow crosses his arms and makes an annoyed expression, looking at Shadow to see if the Gaomon could stomach Dastex's fluff any more than the mech could.
"Can you believe this windbag? He's blowing more hot air than a volcano." "He's always been this way. You should see him during his rehearsals."
The large door on the north side opens up, and out walks a dozen Blackmechanorimon. These mechs appear different than Red Arrow's battalion. Their armor is darker and edgier, and their eyes appear red and soulless.
"This is the deal. There are three kinds of bots: Those I can trust, those I have no use for, and those that have no free will of their own and will follow all my commands. Being the generous leader that I am, I will give each of you the opportunity to decide for yourselves which group you want to be in. Either serve at my side, become part of my glorious mechanical body, or become a lifeless drone and serve me without hesitation."
Dastex turns to purple and smiles like a sinister fiend.
"Which one do you choose, mech?"
Purple gives a concerned look. He would rather die than become part of Dastex's abomination or receive a robo-lobotomy and obey blindly.

Though Koko, Shadow, and Dorulumon all were aware of the vibrations it appeared that Shadow was the most aware of them as the group all came upon what looked like a sports arena and the structure sure was massive. However, this was not the time to be admiring the scenery seeing as Dastex and Purple both appeared and Dastex began his speech.
"More hot air than a volcano is right." Shadow muttered standing not far from Lalamon with his arms crossed.
Then Lalamon did something Shadow wasn't expecting when the typically sweet plant digimon then said, "Guess we are lucky to have never met him during rehearsals then."
Shadow blinked turning in her direction with a surprised look on his face as he then said "Lady Lalamon..."
When the doors opened and the BlackMechanorimon entered the soulless look was unsettling to Kazumi and her partners. Vemmon's mandibles clicked uneasily as he listened to the next part of Dastex's speech and things were sounding more unsettling as he spoke about three kinds of bots before asking Purple which one of the three he was choosing.

Post by Dante on Mar 6, 2024 4:26:31 GMT
Shadow agrees that Dastex is blowing hot air. The Gaomon and yellow mech had found something they agree on. Lalamon mentions they are luck to have not seem the rehearsals. Nanomon shivers just thinking about it. Dastex's soulless mechs are unsettling indeed. A loud mechanical roar can be heard from underneath the arena. Many of the mechs break out into a panic. Lord Dastex seems to ignore the roar for now. Dastex looks at purple awaiting the mech's answer. Purple turns away and sighs.
"At the end of the day, you are still the leader of the Iron Imperials. However, I feel everyone should be informed of your leadership style before they make their decision."
Purple walks over to the back of the balcony and inserts his hand into an outlet. A projector displays a video on the wall for all to see. It shows the video purple recorded of Dastex breaking apart the green mech and stealing his parts for himself. The image was so vile to the mechs. Yellow rises up and dials his voicebox as high as it goes so all can hear.
"This is the same bastard who sent me and my pilot Gaomon on a suicide mission! He doesn't care about any of us as individuals. Dastex does not treat us as Digimon treat other Digimon. He sees us as property and tools to serve him. Destroy this abomination!"
While purple's move may have been motivated by the right things, the consequences would prove to be disastrous. The mechs are whipped up into a frenzy, and after hearing yellow's speech, they start swarming the arena floor. In seconds, a huge gunfight breaks out. The bots upset with Dastex fire at his soulless goons while some of the mechs remain loyal and turn on their upset comrades. Nanomon turns and looks at Yuki with great concern. The robot knows many lives will be lost.
Elsewhere, the newly armored Blisha the Suiseimon is carrying Dante and Annie. She walks across a platform high in the air. Suddenly, she is tripped up by a thread of silk web. Wormmon swings by on a thread of web like Tarzan.
"Eat rusty scrap, you big meanie!"
Blisha sets Dante down to grab her gatling gun. She aims at the Worm King and unloads a rapid fire stream of lead. Wormmon swings across the room just ahead of the gunfire. Annie realizes what is happening and takes action by covering Blisha's visor with her hands. Blisha stops firing and drops her gun, grabbing Annie and tossing her down on the platform.
Wormmon swings in unexpectedly and lands on Blisha's face. The Worm King latches on tightly as Blisha pummels him with her fists. Dante tackles Blisha from behind, knocking her down. Blisha gets up and draws a pink laser blade from her wrist. She slashes at Dante and slices his chest, ripping a hole in his stolen security officer outfit. Blisha grabs Dante and throws him over the edge of the platform. Wormmon connects a strand of thread to the platform and leaps down to save Dante, but Blisha cuts the thread with her blade, and both Dante and Wormmon plummet down into the darkness below.
Annie screams out in terror. Blisha grabs her by the back of the hair and pulls her close, holding the blade up to her throat.
"Playtime's over, you wretched girl."
Blisha drags Annie off as the young woman sheds tears for Dante and Wormmon. Had this rescue mission ended by the dastardly duo paying the ultimate price?

When the loud mechanical roar sounded from underneath the arena Kazumi and her forces shivered with unease but knew deep down that the noise was the least of their worries at this time. Purple placed his hand into an outlet and the projector showed the image of Dastex's cruel actions which caused Yellow to shout about how he and his pilot were sent on a suicide mission by Dastex and that to the leader of the Iron Imperials those beneath him were little more than tools or property which made Kazumi and her partners glare at Dastex with a look of disgust.
When Nanomon glanced at Yuki with concern the experienced dragon flicked her metallic wings before she said "This isn't good. It seems both Purple and Yellow have riled up the mechs. You are right to be concerned, Nanomon."
As the fight broke out Vemmon glanced over at Kazumi before looking at Shadow, Lalamon, and Hudiemon in some sort of subtle suggestion as to what the general should do. With luck Kazumi would catch on.
Kazumi saw the look Vemmon was giving her as she brought out her Xros Loader which caused Vemmon to nod in approval as she seemed to get what he was hinting her. "Gaomon! Hudiemon! Lalamon! Digi Xros!"
With that Shadow, Hudiemon, and Lalamon turned to fractal code before fusing together. When they were finished transforming what looked like a light pink Gaomon with gloves and a bandanna the color of Lalamon's leaves. Most curiously of all this light pink canine now had Hudiemon's butterfly wings on his back as he called out "Gaomon X3!" Flapping his wings he hovered above the fighting mechs while his general and allies moved to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. As for Vemmon the little purple bug was feeling an unusual rush that he couldn't explain.

Everything had descended into complete chaos. Dastex is willing to sacrifice most of his forces to eradicate anyone who challenges his rule. Gaomon, Hudiemon, and Lalamon Digi Xros to form a flying pink Gaomon. Gaomon X3 flies over the mechs fighting on the arena floor. Dastex becomes quite irritated and orders his mechs to fire at Gaomon X3. A Blackmechanorimon fires a rocket towards the winged Gaomon.
The fighting shows no signs of ending. With no cover and seemingly infinite ammunition, it wasn't long until bodies of both machine Digimon and Dastex's soulless mechs litter the floor. Dastex activates a switch that opens up several vents on the floor. Pieces of metal fall through the cracks in the floor.
Blue is facing off with one of the Blackmechanorimon. The soulless construct fires a small rocket at Blue. The blue mech dodges and launches a rocket of his own that hits his dark counterpart in the chest and explodes. Blue is pleased with him aim, but merely a few seconds later, another mech fires a rocket at his side and blows his left arm clean off. His arm falls through the vents below. Blue yells in pain and looks around at the carnage. Consumed by hopelessness, the hard-headed mech turns and starts running away from the brawl.
Dastex approaches purple up on the balcony. Purple aims his wrist cannon at Dastex, but the leader just laughs it off. Then, the doors on the balcony open to reveal Blisha the Suiseimon standing there with Annie draped over her shoulder. Dastex is quite pleased at this sight.
"Good, the final piece of the puzzle. You can have well, Blisha."
Purple is not pleased with the two humans. He turns to the Spirit Wielder with desperation in his eyes.
"Blisha, why are you doing this? Digimon are lying, Digimon loyal to our cause. Surely, you can see Dastex has gone off the deep end." "Silence, tin can. Lord Dastex and I have never been more in agreement. No longer will we be subjected to the whims of selfish Digimon and humans."
Blisha goes to hand Annie to Dastex, but Purple grabs a hold of the young woman's arm. A tug-of-war ensues for a few seconds until Dastex smacks Purple with the Cross Gauntlet, knocking him back. Blisha hands Annie to Dastex and approaches purple. The purple mech wraps his arms around Blisha and activates his jets. Purple and Blisha fly up into the air and start heading down. The two crash into some seating a few yards away from Kazumi. Nanomon looks over in shock. Maybe they can grab the Spirit Wielder before she regains her balance.
