Amidst the chaos somehow Kazumi and her forces had managed to not be blown to pieces despite the mechanical bodies littering the ground from the fighting. One of the BlackMechanorimon fired a rocket towards Gaomon X3 resulting in the pink winged canine fluttering his wings rapidly as he said, "Double Backhand!" Spinning gracefully at high speed in midair he struck the rocket fired at him sending it back towards the BlackMechanorimon.
Vemmon took notice of the vents that were opening on the floor and the pieces of metal that were falling through. He didn't have to say anything because Yuki also took notice and took flight as she said, "Dark Chi Storm!" Yuki began spinning her body and a wind made of dark chi was formed before she sent them towards the vents intending to ruin them so no more body parts would fall through from those fighting.
As for Blue he was facing off against a BlackMechanorimon and he was doing well. At least that was until Blue's arm was blown off by another mech causing him to begin running away. Vemmon caught sight of Blisha who had a human girl draped over her shoulder. Purple tried to reason with her but unfortunately Blisha wasn't open to reason as she moved to hand Annie to Dastex. Vemmon began glowing as Blisha began handing Annie over but though Purple tried to stop her he was knocked back by Dastex. "V-Vemmon super digivolve to..... Destromon!" Vemmon exclaimed becoming a massive intimidating looking mechanical being.
Kazumi couldn't help but blink in surprise as she said "No way. That's Vemmon."
Koko and Dorulumon meanwhile had moved into a defensive position so that Kazumi wasn't vulnerable if Blisha stopped fighting with Purple and decided to target the general.

Kazumi's forces had entered the destructive fray. One of the BlackMechanorimon fired a rocket at Gaomon X3, but Gaomon X3 has it covered with a Double Backhand. Gaomon X3 spins and strikes the projectile, sending it flying back at the mech and exploding on contact, rendering the mech unable to continue. Dastex notices the volley, but doesn't appear concerned that he lost one of his mechs. This is a far cry away from losing his cool seeing his new mechs destroyed earlier in the day.
When it came to the vents in the floor, Yuki the wise dragon has it covered. Yuki creates a strong wind of dark chi and send her Dark Chi Storm attack flying towards the vents. The attack damages several of the vents, preventing them from allowing broken parts to fall down below. This does get under Dastex's increasingly metal coated skin. Whatever it is Dastex is up to, he seems to be using the destroyed pieces for something.
Seeing Blisha and Dastex using Annie for their plans does not sit right with Vemmon. The purple insect super digivolves to Destromon, a strong, intimidating Digimon covered in metal. This catches Dastex's eye. He wants to use Vemmon for his own purposes. A large door opens at the north end of the arena and a massive machine Digimon known as DemiRaidenmon marches out. It is a weaker variant of the heavyweight Raidenmon.
It appears Destromon has the power advantage in a one on one matchup, but DemiRaidenmon is still a formidable machine and the chaos of the battle makes things unpredictable. The mech uses its Gilead Plant attack, sending a massive electrical attack towards Destromon. While Destromon is far enough away to avoid the attack, it is large enough that it could damage others nearby.
The yellow Mechanorimon is firing at the enemy when he notices Blue retreating. A mech loyal to Dastex throws a grenade towards blue. Yellow charges forward and picks up a torso from a dismembered bot and shields blue from the bulk of the blast. Yellow wraps his arm around his blue comrade and helps him flee towards the seats. Had Yuki not targeted the vents, it's likely that yellow would not have been able to retrieve the damaged torso.
Blisha slowly rises to her feet, staggering from the crash as she adjusts her helmet. She sees purple next to her and draws her blade.
"How dare you interfere?!" "Blisha! Is this really worth it? How can you take part in this depravity? Have you no compassion?!" "Don't pretend you know me, tinker toy. I was born in the Digital World, and I never fit in here, or with humans. Dastex has given me the respect I deserve and hope for the future." "So you justify robocide because you had a hard life? What about all the Digimon that have fallen for our cause? What about the mechs who sacrificed everything and turned on their homelands to join the Iron Imperials? Is this how they are rewarded?" "You always were soft, purple. Hardly worth the effort it would take to smash you to bits."

Yuki took notice of how Dastex was staring at Destromon now that he had super digivolved. However, she also had to keep an eye on everything and everyone else around her due to how chaotic it was with all the fighting. Yuki noticed the look in Destromon's eyes and yes though he looked fairly intimidating there was still a sense of gentleness even though he had digivolved to help the girl Dastex was holding as well as to protect Kazumi and the rest of his allies.
When a large door opened at the north end of the arena the sight of a large digimon known as DemiRaidenmon came marching out. When the said mech used its Gilead Plant attack a massive electrical wave started heading towards Destromon. Destromon knew he had time to avoid but with the nature of that attack there was a chance others would be in danger. Moving in a surprisingly agile manner spinning on his heel towards the oncoming attack he raised his clawed hands as he, with his familiar stutter, said "C-Claw of Storms!" His claws became charged with purple electricity before he swiped his clawed hands at DemiRaidenmon's oncoming attack his intention to disrupt the ability of the mech clear.
Fortunately, Yuki's efforts allowed Yellow to succeed in covering Blue's retreat. Then when the experienced winged dragon overheard Blisha and Purple's conversation. With a flick of her tail, she said "Please, Blisha was it? You say that Dastex has given you respect but how can you be so naive? I've seen many of his creed in my five lives and they don't give a damn about anyone except for themselves and only see others as tools to suit their designs. When you no longer are of use to him, he'll treat you no better than the mechs he is supposed to be caring for as the leader of the Iron Imperials."

DemiRaidenmon's electrical attack hurls towards Destromon. To ensure others are not caught in the blast, Destromon uses his Claw of Storm attack, his stutter intact, and his claw glows with purple electricity. Destromon slashes at the attack, which splits it apart and prevents a wide spread damaging wave.
Upon hearing Blisha mention Dastex respecting her, the wise dragon Yuki speaks up. Yuki states that she has seen many selfish people like Dastex in her five lives. She warns that Dastex will turn on Blisha just like the mechs when he no longer has a use for her. Blisha lowers her head and raises her shoulders up in aggression. Her laser blade pulses as her muscles tense up.
"Dastex is the first person to ever accept me. Digimon never made me feel welcomed even though I was born and raised in this world. Then I went to my parent's native world and was rejected by a bunch of soft, pathetic humans! Dastex only cares about one's power and loyalty, just as it should be."
Nanomon pops his head up from behind a seat, the small robot vast with knowledge and computer skills, but is about as useful in a fight as a Rookie level.
"Our loyalty has cost us countless lives. Think, Blisha. Dastex is no man of honor. He's a cult leader. He's got you all brainwashed! He's an egomaniac and the two of you have been on an unchecked power trip." "Hollow insults from a traitor. I expected more from one of our highest ranking members. You've been complicit this whole time." "I helped form the Iron Imperials to forge a better life for me and machine Digimon. I quickly recognized the type of person Dastex is, but I turned a blind eye to his abuse of power for too long. Maybe I am responsible, but it's not too late to change, Blisha." "I've heard enough from an overgrown kitchen appliance like you."
Purple steps in front of Blisha, but the Suiseimon swings her arms like she is swinging a baseball bat and bashes the mech with the bottom of her forearms, knocking purple down a few rows. Blisha pulls out a round device resembling a grenade from a compartment on her calf and throws it in front of Nanomon.
The DemiRaidenmon is none too happy that Destromon negated its attack. The metal war machine lets out a low, digital screech and takes a few stomps forward. The gun barrels on its back begin to glow bright yellow. Stray bullets from the firefight head towards Destromon and Gaomon X3 as they become higher priority targets. Several BlackMechanorimon turn their attention to the two. The loud roar can be heard again coming from below that shakes the very foundation of the Tera Stronghold. Is Dastex so confident and hellbent on destruction that he would sacrifice the entire base to purge those who are not loyal?

Destromon's attack worked according to his plan and boy was DemiRaidenmon none too happy about it. DemiRaidenmon let out a low digital screech before taking a few steps forward. Then the mech's gun barrels on its back began glowing a bright yellow.
As for Gaomon X3 and Destromon they had become higher priority targets and neither digimon could blame the mechs seeing as they were both ultimate level digimon. When the stray bullets came their way Gaomon X3's wings fluttered rapidly as he evaded the gunfire. As for Destromon, however, the giant digimon figured it was time to fight fire with fire as he exclaimed "L-Laser Rain!" From the guns on his shoulders a rain of lasers fell upon the battlefield.
Yuki shook her head as it seemed that Blisha was so brainwashed by Dastex that she wasn't willing to listen to reason but not willing to give up yet, she said "Unfortunately such cruelties are a common trait shared by both digimon and humans and it is sad that you never found anyone who cares for you. If you realize Dastex doesn't care someday then don't give up making friends with either digimon or humans as there are also plenty of kind digimon and humans. Kind humans like my general Kazumi and kind digimon like the ones I work alongside."
"Sure, is messed up how you are willing to let Dastex cause such harm to those under his command. Blisha, don't you have any trace of compassion for others?" Kazumi then piped up from the faintest trace of cover she found.
However, Dorulumon noticed what Blisha was throwing and moved defensively near Nanomon before he said, "Drill Tornado!" The drill on his tail grew while spinning causing a powerful gust of wind to blow forth towards the grenade like object. When the loud roar sounded again from below while shaking the foundation of Tera Stronghold Kazumi and her partners were getting an uneasy feeling.

No mech in the Iron Imperials has ever seen a battle this gruesome. Gaomon X3 nimbly dodges incoming fire while Destromon returns with some firepower of his own. The large mechanical Ultimate level unleashes a storm of lasers with his Laser Rain technique, raining lasers from the guns of his shoulders down. The attack demolishes several BlackMechanorimon. DemiRaidenmon cries out in pain as the lasers rain down on his armor plating.
Yuki and Kazumi disagree with Blisha's reasoning. Yuki explains how cruelty is not uncommon, but there are humans and Digimon out there that are kind. Kazumi questions if the Spirit Wielder has any compassion left at all.
"There is no place for compassion in this world. Strength is always the deciding factor. I was mocked by Digimon for lacking their abilities. The Digital World is no place for a young human girl. That is no longer the case, as because of Dastex, I am able to show Digimon the strength that illuded me."
When Blisha throws something towards nanomon, Dorulumon uses his Drill Tornado technique. The gust of wind sends the device rolling back towards Blisha. It turns out that it is a smoke bomb, and the device emits a large fog of dense smoke. Purple looks around in confusion. It turns out Blisha is able to detect her surroundings even through the fog thanks to her visor. The Suiseimon approaches the purple mech and slices his through the chest with her blade. Purple's screams ring out as the mech collapses, near death.
The DemiRaidenmon finishes charging up its lasers. The machine uses its Rising Sun attack, firing ultra-high temperature spheres that fly towards Destromon. One of the few remaining BlackMechanorimon flies up into the sky with a cybernetic blade aiming to strike the flying Gaomon X3 at close range. Most of the mech forces on both sides have either been destroyed, or they attempted to flee the trauma of the arena battle.
Nanomon feels grateful that Dorulumon redirected Blisha's smoke bomb, but his little robo heart breaks upon hearing the screams of the purple mech. The cries of his dying comrades echo inside his head. This is not at all what he had envisioned for his people. Former allies had turned on each other. Those still loyal to Dastex showed little remorse when it came to bombarding their more reasonable counterparts. All the while, Dastex smirks with a wicked grin. Unstable to begin with, was this once fully human individual losing their mind?

Destromon's laser fire was quite effective at least with the BlackMechanorimon. As for DemiRaidenmon though he felt pain from Destromon's efforts it seemed the fight was far from over. Meanwhile Blisha had said that there was no place for compassion in this world and that strength was always the deciding factor. Then she mentioned how digimon mocked her for lacking their abilities.
"You are wrong about there being no place for compassion in this world. Sure, strength is important but such strength without wisdom and compassion make you no different from the digimon who bullied you for being different." Yuki said though it was clear that she was not reaching through to Blisha.
"Perhaps you can do the right thing and let that human girl go." Kazumi said her voice sounding hopeful.
Dorulumon's Drill Tornado blew the device back towards Blisha and it showed its nature as a smoke bomb. The cries of Purple soon sounded as it was clear that Shadow and xrosses involving Shadow could function even in situations where most digimon would be unable to see. Gaomon X3 then fluttered his wings rapidly pushing off of a nearby wall with his legs and flying into the fog heading for Purple while zipping past the BlackMechanorimon that were intending to strike him at close range. Upon approaching Purple in the fog, he said "Healing Dream!" A glowing dust with healing properties flowed from his wings heading to where Purple was laying.
DemiRaidenmon had finished charging its lasers before opening fire with the ultra-high temperature spheres that were its Rising Sun attack. "M-Machine Gun Blitz!" Destromon responded as from the gun on his chest fired a barrage of bullets. The intention was to shoot the high temperature spheres.

Although Blisha's expression cannot be seen underneath her helmet, Yuki's words have managed to reach Blisha's heart. Has the strong woman really become the thing she hated most? Suddenly, Blisha felt like what she is doing is wrong. Kazumi hopes Blisha will see the light and release the young woman Dastex has focused on.
Gaomon X3 turns his attention to the purple mech when Blisha attacked him. The winged Digimon flies into the fog and quickly targets the injured purple mech with a heal. Shadow's Healing Dream restores purple's body to an almost pristine state, leaving nothing but a large scratch remaining, but the pain is gone. Purple sits up slowly and takes a few deep breaths, unable to see his savior.
The mech pursuing Shadow loses him in the fog. Unable to detect his target, he flies away from the fog and waits for Shadow to reveal himself.
Destromon responds to the DemiRaidenmon's powerful attack with his Machine Gun Blitz. The attack didn't just have an awesome name, but it is also quite powerful. A barrage of bullets pierces through the hot spheres, igniting them before they could reach the intended target. The spheres erupt in the center of the arena, sending a massive blast of energy spreading out in all directions. The blast causes the fog to subside.
Due to such a large attack, the fighting stops briefly as the mechs scramble to regain their footing. Nanomon looks around at the carnage that has unfolded. Broken machines lay all over, bodies smoking and emitting sparks. Any remaining sentient machine Digimon refuse to continue this massacre. Only the soulless constructs under Dastex's command are intent on continuing to fight.
On Dastex's side, there is Dastex, Blisha the Suiseimon, DemiRaidenmon, and three BlackMechanorimon remaining. The Iron Imperials who defected against Dastex refuse to fight. The red arrow mech throws down a rifle he was using in protest.
Red: "That's enough, Dastex! I served the Imperials to the best of my ability, and always tried to please you. If you are going to scrap me and replace me with some soulless drone, so be it!"
Dastex waves his hand to call off his mechs for now. DemiRaidenmon lets out a low groan and lowers his head, backing up slowly as his engine slows down.
"Everything I do is for the glory of the Iron Imperials! I will usher in a new era of complete control. Maximum efficiency, total loyalty, progress never before seen."
Blisha soars up into the air and lands on the balcony.
"Dastex, I think this has gone too far." "What do you mean, Blisha? This is what you wanted. This is what we want! Don't tell me I've lost you too." "I never wanted to become a monster. Many of these mechs are bumbling fools, but they do not deserve to be dismantled."
There is a tense moment between the two humans. All of a sudden, a green ball of energy flies towards Dastex. The leader manages to duck out of the way in time, and the blast hits the wall behind him. Dastex looks out and sees Stingmon in the air with Dante riding on his back.
"It's about time somebody shuts you up, Dumbasstex!"
Stingmon dashes towards Dastex flying down at an angle. He rotates down sharply and sends Dante flying towards Dastex. Dante crash lands on Dastex and tackles him down on the balcony. Dante gets on top of Dastex and pries off the armor covering his face.
"Nice to meet you, ass clown."
Dante elbows Dastex in the nose, causing blood to flow down to his lips. Blisha tries to step in, but Stingmon bolts towards her and strikes her in the ribs with his energy spike. Blisha screams in pain, then grabs Stingmon by the arm and kicks him in the chest with the bottom of her foot. The two flying Digimon take to the air to slug it out.
Annie lays on the balcony floor close to Dante and Dastex. She struggles to remain conscious as her vision is blurry. Sensing their leader in danger, Dastex's mechs resume fighting. Three BlackMechanorimon fly towards Shadow and surround him. The DemiRaidenmon opens fire at Destromon firing bullets from the cannons on his head and tail.

Gaomon X3 breathed a sigh of relief as Purple's wounds began healing. After there was nothing more than a large scratch Purple sat up and Gaomon X3 said "I was worried that my ability to heal wouldn't work for a moment. Glad you're all right. We need to make our way out of the fog but need to be on high alert since the chaos hasn't ceased yet." Gaomon X3 turned and began to head carefully the way he came and as he came out of the fog, he noticed he had come out right next to the mech that pursued him. "Gao Rush!" Gaomon X3 exclaimed as he zipped at the mech unleashing a high-speed barrage of punches.
The fighting briefly stopped and mechs were scrambling. As for Destromon to keep them disorganized the crafty hacking insect turned war mech continued firing with his Machine Gun Blitz. What surprised Kazumi and her partners was that fact that Red was now protesting by throwing aside his rifle. Kazumi was certain she wasn't the only one who wanted the violence to stop but there were times when such things as fighting had to be done.
Kazumi looked up at Blisha and Dastex while listening to them before the Xros General said "Those bumbling fools as you put it are sentient beings with souls and yet Dastex doesn't give a damn about those he is supposed to be caring for. Tell me, Blisha, does that sound like a leader you want to follow?" Short time later Stingmon and Dante had arrived and Stingmon initiated combat with Dastex.

Purple is surprised that his devastating wound is healed so quickly. He looks around to see who helped him, but couldn't see anyone. The mech could only hear Gaomon X3's voice. "Thank you. I was worried I was next for the scrap heap."
The BlackMechanorimon waits for Shadow to reappear. The soulless mech is caught off guard when Gaomon X3 reappears and unloads a barrage of punches with his Gao Rush technique. The mech feels the pain pulse through his metal body, dealing quite a lot of damage. The mech is still able to fight, but nearly out of it.
As Blisha protests Dastex continuing his destructive ways, Kazumi chastises Blisha for calling the mechs bumbling fools. She proclaims Dastex doesn't give a damn about his allies and asks Blisha if that sounds like the kind of leader she wants to follow. Blisha would have stood against her closest ally, but was quickly pulled back into the fight when Stingmon attacked. Blisha looks down at Kazumi, her disgust hidden behind her helmet.
"When I'm done with bug brain, I'm going to break that pretty little jaw of yours so I don't have to listen to your lectures." Nanomon's eyes widen and he looks at Kazumi with surprise. "That's pretty much how she always acts. I wouldn't take it personally."
Stingmon and Blisha battle it out in the air. They trade punches and kicks back and forth until Blisha lands a kick to Stingmon's side that throws him off balance. Stingmon backs up to create distance. Blisha aims her wrist forward and fires some armor piercing rounds from her wrist cannon. Stingmon zips around in an attempt to dodge. Some of the bullets hit his leg and Stingmon shouts in agony.
Stingmon turns and fires some plasma blasts from his energy cannon. Blisha dodges side to side, but a few of the blasts connect with her armor. One the blasts hits her helmet and she loses focus. Stingmon dashes forward and slashes at her with his energy spike, slicing into the armor on her waist. Blisha yells in pain and starts falling towards the ground. Stingmon bolts down to catch the Spirit Wielder and tackles her. The two of them crash into the wall and go tumbling down to the seating below.
Dante and Dastex are brawling up on the balcony. Dastex snorts as the blood flows down his nose. The leader of the iron Imperials raises his arm and slices at Dante with the Cross Gauntlet. The spikes rip into Dante's stolen uniform and slice his skin. As Dante leans back, Dastex grabs his collar and rolls over. The two humans grapple on the ground, trying to overpower the other.
The three BlackMechanorimon circle Gaomon X3. One of them charges in for a melee attack. not long after, another one approaches trying to catch Gaomon X3 off guard. The third one who was injured by Gaomon X3's Gao Rush waits for Gaomon X3 to be preoccupied, hoping for an opening to attack.
DemiRaidenmon lets out a loud mechanical roar as the sound of his gears grinding echoes around the arena. The large mech revs up his engines and pursues Destromon. The big green mech launches an RPG at Destromon at medium range, abandoning any kind of defensive strategy and just wanting to unload all his firepower at the war mech.

Purple was understandably surprised that he had healed quickly from the injuries he had sustained not long ago and when he said thank you to Gaomon X3 the pink winged canine nodded in a silent way of saying you're welcome. As for Gaomon X3 his sneak attack on the BlackMechanorimon was successful.
Though Blisha was protesting Dastex continuing his destructive ways the spirit wielder didn't react all that well to Kazumi's lecture. When Nanomon mentioned not taking it personally Kazumi, while watching Stingmon and Blisha fight, said "She isn't upsetting me Nanomon. I can understand why she is acting this way seeing as she was not accepted by digimon or humans until she met Dastex and all of you. However, we need to do something to end this fighting as it isn't getting us anywhere. Look at Vemmon he's normally a gentle digimon and he digivolved into a war mech to keep everyone safe."
Meanwhile with Gaomon X3 three BlackMechanorimon began to circle him. Unknown to the mechs the cunning blind canine was aware of what they were doing and as one charged for a melee attack, and another was trying to catch the wily canine off guard. However, such a thing wouldn't be so simple and straightforward as he said, "Flowery Song!" Gaomon X3 began singing and as he sang pink razor-sharp flower petals appeared and then he launched them at the enemies trying to get one up on him.
DemiRaidenmon's loud mechanical roar didn't seem to faze Destromon as the war mech growled in turn seeing the RPG being launched at him at medium range. "C-Claw of Storms!" Destromon said as he channeled purple electricity into his claws before slashing out at the RPG.

It was safe to say that the events of today would leave those involved quite on the edge. That being said, Kazumi is levelheaded enough to not let Blisha's threats phase her. The red haired Xros General tells Nanomon that the Spirit Wielder is not upsetting her. She correctly identifies that Blisha's anger comes from her not being accepted by both Digimon and Humans. Nanomon is quite pleased to hear Kazumi's reasoning.
"That is quite impressive. I doubt any of the Imperials, even myself, is capable of such, what's the word, patience? Stoicism? Remarkable."
Kazumi realizes that this fighting is getting them nowhere. She mentions how the normally gentle Vemmon has transformed into a war mech to keep others safe. Nanomon looks up and watches Destromon fighting to protect friends and strangers alike.
"He really is fighting for a good cause. Strong, yet kind. I feel, I feel as though lacking kindness will lead to our downfall."
Gaomon X3 had been circled by the lower level BlackMechanorimon in an attempt to use their numbers. Gaomon X3 answers with his Flowery Song technique, sending razor sharp petals towards the mechs. Due to the nature of the attack, Gaomon X3 is able to strike against the multiple opponents. Two of the mechs move in for attack, but they themselves are caught off guard by the petals.
The petals slice into the armor plating of the three mechs, triggering their pain receptors. The mechs quickly back up and try to think of their next move. Sensing his damage is critical, the mech attacked by Gaomon X3's Gao Rush technique disengages and flies over towards an exit door on the north side. The other two mechs look at each other in confusion. One of them points at the other and then towards Gaomon X3 as if to say you go first and me second.
The other mech waves his hands out in disagreement. He pokes the first mech on the chest more than gently, then aggressively gestures towards Gaomon X3. The first mech throws up his hands in frustration and shakes his head. Feeling outmatched, the two mechs decide to leave. The second mech turns to Gaomon X3, shrugs and then waves. The two mechs fly after their injured comrade and leave the fight.
DemiRaidenmon had fired an RPG at Destromon. Destromon uses his Claw of Storms ability and channels purple electricity into his claws and strikes at the projectile. The rpg deflects off the claws and flies backwards a few yards before detonating in between Destromon and DemiRaidenmon. The blast unleashes a wave of energy at both of them. DemiRaidenmon growls as the blast dramatically heats up his metal coating.
A red light appears on DemiRaidenmon's head. His metal gears can be heard grinding as his body changes shape. His arms and the cannons on his back disconnect and fall to the floor as his legs stretch up. Two jet engines emerge from the gaps on his back. All of DemiRaidenmon's thrusters engage, as he disconnects from his feet and rockets towards Destromon in a last ditch effort to defeat his target, even if it means destroying himself in the process.

Kazumi looked at Nanomon before she replied "While I have always been patient, which could explain why I was destined to be a Xros General, I would say Koko and Vemmon have even a greater sense of patience than I do. As for Blisha if you all keep giving her the companionship, she needs to feel welcome she should be fine after we deal with Dastex. As for Vemmon's kindness, I have a good feeling that even as the warmech Destromon that he is still the kind soul I met all that time ago."
Gaomon X3's Flowery Song technique had the desired effect as the mechs were caught off guard and after some disagreement the BlackMechanorimon eventually began flying away. At least those were a few he didn't have to worry about. Gaomon X3's ears twitched as it seemed the girl Annie was not yet safe. Figuring Destromon was still handling DemiRaidenmon the pink butterfly winged canine fluttered over towards where Annie was landing not far from the girl.
The heat from the deflected RPG singed even Destromon's armor but he somehow managed to keep his focus even as DemiRaidenmon came directly at him while growling. When DemiRaidenmon got close Destromon reached out in an effort to grab ahold of the mech.

It appears that Kazumi is not the only one with the patience Nanomon spoke of. Kazumi mentions that both Kokomon and Vemmon have even more patience. The Xros General mentions if Blisha receives companionship, she will feel welcomed. Nanomon strokes his chin and imagines what it would be like if Blisha was around people who accepted her.
"Interesting. Would she stop being so ill tempered if she didn't have to fight so hard to feel accepted? It can be hard to form bonds with someone so cold. You certainly portray Xros Generals in a positive light with your great mind, Kazumi."
Stingmon and Blisha had crashed into the seating below during their brawl. Stingmon slowly rises to his feet and rubs his head. Blisha sits up against some steps and takes a few deep breaths. This was the first time she had ever Spirit Evolved, and it was taking its toll on her body.
"I thought you just acted tough, but you really do put up a good fight." "Thanks, I guess. You're making this look easy."
The two high flyers share a quick chuckle as they both realize each other's ability. They both have similar fighting styles and moves. Blisha unbuckles a strap on her side that undoes some of her outer steel armor to make it easier to breathe. Stingmon offers her a hand. Blisha is hesitant at first, but takes his hand and Stingmon helps her stand up.
"Let's face off against each other another day. For now, I just want to save Annie." "You won't be able to stop him. Lord Dastex is ruthless."
As Dastex and Dante are having a brawl up on the balcony, one that resembles one of those MMA fights with a lot of hugging on the ground, Gaomon X3 flies up to the balcony and lands next to Annie. The two young men look over at Gaomon X3 and break up their melee. Dastex pushes Dante and takes a few steps towards Annie and Gaomon X3. Dastex looks up at Gaomon X3 and smiles sinisterly.
"Careful, now. You wouldn't want to get in my way." "It's over, Dastex. Just let Annie go, and we will all leave." "Oh, Dante. I know you too well to buy this hero act you are putting on." "Know me?"
Destromon grabs onto DemiRaidenmon as the transformed mech dashes towards the Digivolved Vemmon. DemiRaidenmon crashes into Destromon and self-destructs on contact, creating a massive fireball near the center of the arena. The entire building shakes from the detonation. Nanomon watches on in horror, worried for Destromon. Dante and Dastex lose their footing from the blast. The mechs watch as the fireball slowly subsides. How much damage had it caused to the honorable war mech? How many more had to be injured in Dastex's quest for power?

"I think if she didn't have to fight everyone to be accepted that Blisha might calm down. I learned that through working with Dorulumon. He is very honorable but can come off as a bit on the cold side much like Blisha. If he can calm down after finding those who care about him then even Blisha isn't a hopeless cause, Nanomon." Kazumi said before she continued "Who knows maybe you or Medicmon could be among her first friends after Dastex is handled."
While Dastex and Dante were brawling up on the balcony in a way that would likely impress MMA fighters Gaomon X3's attempt to get to Annie was met with Dastex smiling sinisterly at him. "Please you think that I'm afraid of a bully such as you, Dastex? Let the girl go and you won't have to deal with me nor my associates anymore." Gaomon X3 said while standing in a fighting stance ready for action.
Destromon clenched his jaw in pain from the massive fireball. Hissing with pain he managed to stabilize himself after the building started shaking. Kazumi watching as the giant mech known as Destromon emerged from the fireball covered in soot but impressively still intact. Destromon let out a cough feeling better when he coughed the gunk out.
