"I'm surprised the people of the Den have taken to us so much, honestly." Zack said, lounging back against the shaft of one of the might windmills that powered the hidden city of machine type digimon, looking up at the rolling shadow of the windmill's blades that crested over his body, keeping the desert sun from scorching too much with the breeze rolling over him. He wasn't sure how the digimon below kept the area above so pleasantly climate controlled out in open air, he supposed it didn't matter very much.
"They seemed pretty grateful to us when we took down that mad mechanic who was running around, besides, Violet's one of them. Seems like a pretty tight knit community they have going on, even if there's eff all to eat when we come around here." Marigold said, her father tossing her another large hiking bar that she idly nibbled at. Such was the nature of totally inorganic and machine digimon that the sustenance they required didn't exactly do a human and a bee very much good.
"...In...Incorrect. It seems I am not "one of them", either." Violet said, drifting up behind the father daughter pair as they chatted idly under the rolling windmill shadow, making both of them jump slightly, blushing at getting caught talking about someone who wasn't there with them. "None of the mechanical digimon who are present here at this time are able to explain where I have come from or what my purpose is. I am as apart here as I am anywhere else...let us go." Violet said. The tone in the digimon's voice was never much above a subtle edge that someone could easily convince themselves they were reading into because of the digimon's lack of a face or emotional voice but right now the feeling was unmistakable even without an expression: The little machine was totally heartbroken.
Violet dragged themself along, usually curious and active tendrils leaving grooves in the sand behind them as the equally curious scanner eye that the digimon was always using to engage with the world around them lay looking downward toward the sand. Another clue, another dead end, another search for some kind of meaning that ended up with nothing to show for it.
"Violet..." Marigold said, her heart obviously aching for the sake of the little orb machine digimon. Violet wanted nothing more than to put together the pieces of who they were and to find some kind of comfort in purpose and security. It was a feeling Marigold knew all too well. She looked up at her father, eyes twinkling. It was imperative in that moment that he share what they had been talking about in private.
"Violet...you know, Marigold and I have been talking. We've been thinking that maybe..." Zack's offer was cut short and silent by a reverberating wave that sounded like the banging of a gong directly in the ear of anybody who was close enough to hear it. Violet froze, body going rigid in stance as their curious darting eye flashed a sterile, bright cyan and the little machine began to float off the ground. "VIOLET!"

Voilet wasn't the only machine digimon making their way about that wasn't from the Hardware Den that day as a Komondomon was zipping along the way. Inside their massive body was their general and allies. Meanwhile inside Koko Dorulumon was hanging his head out of one of Koko's windows as it was one of the only ways he could use to stave off his claustrophobia. No one else said anything because they knew if he needed to get off he would say something.
On a seat across from Dorulumon a blind Gaomon named Shadow opened his eyes as he said "There is something going on ahead. I can feel it but it doesn't seem to be a matter of life and death."
"Never the less maybe we should take a look into your feeling. Just in case." Kazumi said as she adjusted the goggles on her head briefly before she asked "Yuki, could you fly a bit ahead of us and report what you find?"
The BlackAeroAgumon nodded and rose to her feet making her way to Koko's door before gently rapping on it. As Koko opened it she opened her delicate looking metallic wings and taking to the air. After a while of flying she spotted an interesting trio to say the least. One was definitely human although dressed pretty wild as humans got. With him was a Fanbeemon and a Gizumon. His partners perhaps? Or maybe one was a mercenary, who knew? Either way that group was the only life in ahead of Koko and she turned back to report back.
Reuniting with Koko she rapped on the door again before Koko opened up and Yuki landed standing in the doorway and said "There isn't much ahead other than an odd trio heading our way. Perhaps we should slow down to avoid running them over."
"Slow down? No problem. I can do that, Yuki." Koko said in a friendly tone and began traveling at a calmer pace. Yuki then flew up with Koko closing their door again and landed on the back of the Komondomon to keep an eye out seeing the Gizumon taking off. Odd.
At that point Koko came to a halt next to Zack and Marigold as Kazumi got up and went to the door. It came open and the young woman said "Hey there. Do you two need help catching up with your friend? I'm sure Koko won't mind as they are pretty friendly and gave rides to others before joining my army." Koko, though calm, had the image of a giant friendly puppy their goofy doggy smile plain as day.

Zack and Marigold froze as Violet hung there like a puppet only about ten feet off the ground, the machine digimon who only moments before had been full of their own kind of life was now just hanging there, softly buzzing as the ground beneath every present started to rumble and the pressure in the air turned heavy and constructing. The sunlight from above started to vanish bit by bit as the shape of something took form in the air far above the field of windmills and solar panels.
It was a ship, looking from below like a stereotypical UFO, a gleaming silver ring inset around a bulbous, rounded hull in glittering cosmic purple. The outside was infested, crawling all over with Proto Gizmon like ants reclaiming a piece of food that had been left on the side of the road. The craft was impossibly massive and every slight adjustment and motion it made shoved so much air out of its way that a fresh wave of pressure would come over everyone present. Violet began to rise again, slowly at first, moving by inches until all at once their speed ramped and they shot off straight up like someone's mental image of an alien abduction.
"VIOLET!!!" Zack said, hollering as he saw the little machine go high up enough to vanish into the throng of identical machines. "Marigold, go time, NOW." He said and leapt up into the air. Marigold digivolved into her Stingmon form just in time for him to land with his arms around her shoulders and she took off like a shot, directly upward and after the kidnapped little machine.
The group that had just arrived might not realize why this was their issue or their problem. That would change when a laser bolt the size of a fridge shot down out of the machine and landed only a few yards to one side of them, kicking up a massive amount of sand and rock and machine scrap from the solar panel it obliterated. A deep thrum came from the ship above, a deep rattle that could be felt in the teeth and the bones of anyone close enough to hear it. There was a buzz that made static in the entire area stand on end and a short minute later another bolt shot down out of the craft and blasted another solar panel to smithereens. This ship, whatever it was, was shooting right at the Den with all of those people underneath. Whatever luck they had with the fact that its main armament took some amount of time to charge might not hold for long. It was do or die time for everyone involved.

Kazumi noticed that Zack and Marigold were too distracted by the Proto Gizumon floating there but before she could say anything, Yuki said "Heads up! We have potential trouble coming from above!"
Kazumi leaned forward and looked up seeing what looked like a UFO. "No way. This cannot be happening. I must be imagining things."
"I'm afraid it isn't your imagination. I am seeing something out of a cheesy sci fi movie as well." Koko said as they felt the wave of pressure on their massive bulk but seemed barely fazed. Yuki and dove to the ground instinctively and extended the weapons she wore on her arms using them as an anchor while keeping her wings folded.
Kazumi wasn't so lucky as the force exerted by the UFO nearly sent her faceplanting before Vemmon had hopped to his feet and grabbed ahold of his general to keep her from tumbling out of Koko. "I g-got you, Kazumi." Vemmon said as he stabilized his general.
"Thanks, Vemmon." Kazumi said sounding relieved.
"N-No problem." Vemmon said as Marigold digivolved and took her partner into the air before he asked "W-What's the game plan, Kazumi?"
Kazumi hopped out of Koko before she said "Everyone outside. It's time to form some xrosses and follow." As soon as everyone had assembled outside of Koko she looked at the Komondomon and said "I hope you don't mind heading back into the Xros Loader for now. We will probably need your help when we get up there."
"It's no problem, Kazumi." Koko said as Yuki landed on the ground shortly before Kazumi recalled Koko back into the Xros Loader.
Shadow and Dorulumon's ears perked up and both of them looked skyward at the UFO before they both said "Incoming!" The group then scrambled as the laser rained down from the sky and narrowly missed them. That was too close for comfort. Then followed by another bolt. It appeared as if whoever this was they were more than willing to vaporize the innocent locals. Game time indeed.
Kazumi decided to throw some caution to the wind to see if she could form a new form. "Vemmon! Dorulumon! Hudiemon! Digi Xros!"
The three digimon mentioned began glowing and fused together revealing a form she definitely didn't see before as the new form said "V-Vemmon X3!" Vemmon X3 had Dorulumon's tail drill but split in half and shrunken so that he was wearing what looked like some kind of bracers. He also had Hudiemon's butterfly wings.
"BlackAeroAgumon! Gaomon! Digi Xros!" Kazumi then said and Yuki and Shadow began to fuse together.
"BlackAeroAgumon X2!" she said revealing what mostly looked like Yuki wings and all but had four arms covered with boxing gloves and she had the blue and white fur of a Gaomon. She still had the wrist mounted weaponry as well.
Vemmon X3 flew into the air taking hold of Kazumi while BlackAeroAgumon X2 grabbed Lalamon. With that the group flew up towards the UFO catching up with Zack and Marigold. Kazumi looked at the pair and said "I hope you two don't mind my army and I lending a hand."

"That...that thing has got someone who was under my protection. And if those bolts are anything to go by, kidnapping isn't the half of the rap sheet that these days plan to get for themselves before the day is done, honestly we're in an "any help we can possibly get" sort of mood." Zack said, holding onto Marigold with one arm wrapped around her shoulders and throat as he unhooked his digivice from his belt and clicked it into a receiver on the outer side of his right boot, clicking it into place where the heel on that boot flared to life with a crackling of hard light energy.
"Everyone brace yourselves, we're about to hit the creepy crawlies." Marigold said as the outer edge of the craft was coming more closely into view. It was impossible to tell if the glittering purple color of the outer craft was coming from the makeup of itself or just the massive ant colony's worth of Proto Gizmon who crawled back and forth over one another on the outside of the hull. Not a single one of them was idle, their silver tendrils reaching out to various parts of the "hull" and imparting some kind of electrical pulse or buzz before moving onto the next spot. Marigold digivolved a few moments before they were due to hit that skin made out of metallic digimon, transforming into her JewelBeemon form and crossing one arm over her chest. "Mushi Change!" She shouted and the profile image of a grasshopper appeared in the gems along her body. She slimmed down, her wings fanning out wider as the spear in her hand grew longer and with a more wicked edge. The group braced to hit the outside of the ship...only for the Gizmon to part and suddenly there was a hole they just darted upward through.
The inside of the craft was an absurdist view of what a spaceship would look like. There were no floors, no panels even, the interior was just a massive orb with the hull on every side. The hull that was in fact MADE of the scuttling Proto Gizmon. Every wall and floor constantly shifting and scuttling as the Proto Gizmon shifted underfoot, like an entire house where the walls, ceiling and floor were made of scuttling insects.
"What. The. Hell." Zack said out loud over the constant low level buzz of the machines all around them. There wasn't even anywhere for non-flying digimon to comfortably set their feet. The entire space was constantly shifting and writhing underneath them. "Violet?! VIOLET?!" he howled, trying to be heard over the grinding din only for a shadow to pass over them from somewhere in the sphere of open air.
"The unit cannot hear you, human." The digimon at the center of all of this made itself known, a Gizmon: XT that floated in the center of the orb craft with Violet sitting in the middle of his warping metallic hands, distinguishable from any of the other Proto Gizmon present because of the crocheted violet that rested in the joint between their main body and their right leg parts. "Besides. It's moot anyway. You're all going to die."
Mushi Change!: Mushi Change allows Marigold to transform her JewelBeemon body in into one of three different forms. The mechanism by which this occurs begins with a call of "Mushi Change" and holding her right arm across her chest with one of the jewels of the forearms facing out. This jewel "blinks" revealing one of the three symbols, a Bee, a Hercules Beetle and a Grasshopper. The stat and weapon changes of the forms are listed below (One Per Thread, Passive) Grasshopper Form: The Grasshopper form is a form based on speed and precision, less on power and physical punishment. Much of the armor of her body is reabsorbed, including the blades of her gauntlets, using that absorbed data as fuel for bursts of speed and acrobatics that none of her other forms could hope to match. She is also more well trained to use her spear/staff in this form. This form loses use of her arm blades, loses twenty percent of strength and defense for a fifty percent increase in speed and agility.

"You mean that little machine digimon, right? Your companion sure looks like a lot of the digimon crawling all over the hull of this ship." Kazumi said as she looked down at the ship watching the creepy crawlies skittering about. Kazumi looked over at BlackAeroAgumon X2 before she said "Take a defensive position just in case these critters try anything." BlackAeroAgumon X2 nodded her affirmative noticing how sparks were dancing along the hull.
Marigold not only digivolved to ultimate but changed forms as well becoming something lighter and more agile as she made her way down with BlackAeroAgumon X2, who had a firm grip on Lalamon, flew infront of Kazumi and Vemmon X3a ready to make a defensive move only for the Gizmon to part allowing the group passage. "Everyone, I don't like how this feels. Keep your guard up." BlackAeroAgumon X2 said. Just because this form was blind it didn't mean she was unaware of her environment. One of Shadows abilities saw to that quiet easily so most wouldn't suspect there was anything amiss with her eyesight.
Making it to the "floor", if one could call it such, Vemmon X3a released Kazumi before landing near her his butterfly wings fluttering uneasily as he glanced down and said "I m-may be an insect and all but even t-this place is giving me the creeps."
Kazumi held out her Xros Loader before she said "All right, Komondomon realize!" Koko appeared before her and took a defensive stance near Kazumi without needing to be told. Meanwhile BlackAeroAgumon released her grip on Lalamon and the little flower digimon floated over to Kazumi ready for trouble as well.
When Zack started shouting Lalamon loudly said "Don't worry we'll find your friend but you need to keep a cool head."
Then a voice caused Kazumi and her forces to look in the direction of a Gizmon: XT with what was presumed to be Violet but the Proto Gizmon didn't seem to be responding to Zack's voice. When Gizmon: XT said they were going to die Vemmon X3a clicked his mandibles before the partially feral digimon hissed. Then the soft spoken digimon said "Y-You talk a good game but you r-remind me of my creator. H-He was a coward who manipulated those that can't seem to think for themselves as well. Y-Yet I think this Violet may be more like me if that oddly dressed human w-wants to save them. W-What I mean is I bet this V-Violet has free will. D-Don't they?" Despite his mild stutter he was sounding intimidating to say the least.

"I am going to give you a SINGLE chance, whoever the hell you think you are. Let Violet go, stop attacking the Hardware Den and get lost, in that order." Zack said, pushing himself to stand on Marigold's shoulders. He didn't trust the floor underneath him, not when he'd see it open up from the clear blue sky only a couple of seconds before in order to let them in. "Because three things are going to happen here. The Hardware Den WILL be defended, whatever plan you have WILL be stopped and I WILL be taking that kid back with me." Zack said with the conviction that only someone trying to play the hero could muster. He believed it too but that didn't make it any less performative.
"So...inefficient. If those things were truly your goals you would have begun the attack already. Pitiful, is what you are. It's partially why I decided I need to take over. Look at how efficient my bots are, forming together with such tight understanding of their roles that they can form a single solid object at a moment's notice. Imagine how perfect the world could be if I was in control of everything." The machine digimon said with a fawning, villainous conviction that seemed to match the heroic version that Zack had offered up. "it's true, I...miscalculated with this one. They were meant to serve as an...autopilot unit for my craft. Unfortunately I underestimated the strength of the subroutines that allow them to make tactical decisions while I'm otherwise occupied. No matter, I don't really NEED the autopilot anyway. I suppose I'll just junk this one and start fresh on some new project." he said, holding Violet up, the little machine still looking...dazed or stunned somehow, the red light of their searching eye overwritten with that cold, blank cyan color of the XT's direct control.
"Like. Hell." Marigold brandished her spear and charged the opponent. The XT bolted upward and was lost somewhere in the gloomy shadows of the spherical space, the only light coming in was from the inward projected "eyes" of the Gizmon hull.
"Oh please. I have people for that." The XT said from somewhere above as large, heavy bodies dropped from somewhere out of the gloom. Gizmon: ATs, a small group of them landed from out of the murky darkness, uncoiling their strange carbon woven "wings" and charging the assembled interlopers, spinning like whirligigs with their wings outstretched creating a razor sharp spin like a twirled umbrella wreathed in blades. Marigold hopped up into the air, able to dart around between, under and over the buzzing machines as she dropped Zack to the floor.
The human hero didn't miss a beat, charging off away from the fighting. He had come to find someone and that was exactly what he planned to do.

Gizmon: XT clearly didn't seem impressed by Zack's words. Not only that the digimon was spewing villainous words that gave Vemmon X3a a vibe that reminded him of every time he dealt with his father and army. "Enough of y-your arrogance." Vemmon X3a said in a voice louder than what most would expect from the typically soft spoken bug before he let out a feral hiss. Despite sounding no different than a feral beast his mind was clear and rational so if the foe made a mistake by underestimating him it would likely be a mistake.
As XT bolted upward Vemmon X3a brought his arms together his bracers transforming into a drill that crackled with lightning before aiming at the back of the fleeing digimon. "T-Thunderstorm Drill!" Vemmon X3a exclaimed as a maelstrom of fierce wind and lightning shot out as XT vanished from sight. Hopefully his attack would land and be enough for Violet to be released.
Then a small group of Gizmon: ATs dropped from above and Kazumi sarcastically said "Of course things wouldn't be that simple." As Zack took off Kazumi looked over at BlackAeroAgumon X2 and said "Go after him. He'll need your help." At BlackAeroAgumon X2's hesitance, Kazumi said "I know how bad this looks but we'll be alright for the time being. Please."
BlackAeroAgumon X2 then flew off after Zack swiftly catching up with the superhero and said "My general ordered me to help you out. The others should be fine for now so let's help your companion." Her words were filled with compassion for Violet as well as a sense of ancient wisdom.

The machine dictator was fleeing too high, too fast, shooting out of the range of the crackling Thunderstorm Drill...but only just, as seen when the group could just make out the lashing of a bolt across his back as he fully vanished into the gloom, the sound of sizzling metal resounding as the ATs' whirling motors drowned it out.
"Ah! Simpletons! Kill them all!" The machine said. Zack unable to help himself from smiling at the surprised anger in their opponent's voice. He turned to see the Digimon that Kazumi had sent after him, sharing in the moment of having "got one over" on their already insufferable opponent.
"If he thinks THAT'S the best we can do on the field of annoying him, he's got another thing coming. Take me up, we're going after him." Zack said, leaping and kicking off the wall for BlackAeroAgumon to catch him and bolt upward. The design flaw in having his spaceship made up of only a single large space was that he didn't have all that far to run. No doors, no walls, no floors, just a straight shot from point A to B.
"Spike Buster!" Marigold barked as she snapped her spear upward into the path of one of the oncoming machines, smashing it across the proverbial chops with the impact of the spearhead itself as the energetic shockwave of the snapping motion collided with one of the spinning death machines just behind it, knocking that one end over end through the air. "He's only got one intelligence to control them with! Spread out! Get loud! And let's give him something to think about!" She said, taking off into the air and making hard right angle turns on the wing in order to keep the spinning blades of her opponents just out of reach.
Spike Buster!: Marigold swings either the arm blades of her gauntlets or the head of her spear in a sharp, cracking motion that creates a boom of energy toward the target. it is her most consistent attack that is able to be given off at a decent, though still close quarter ranger with a practiced, easy to commit motion.

Though Vemmon X3a's attack didn't have its full effect the anger in GT's voice made the little bug chimera smile, or rather the bug digimon equivalent given he had a mandibe similar to a Tentomon or Fanbeemon. "N-Not what you were expecting huh?!"
Meanwhile with Zack and BlackAeroAgumon X2, said human not only asked BlackAeroAgumon X2 to take him up after GT but began by kicking off the wall so he could be caught mid air. The odd BlackAgumon variant and Gaomon xros nodded as she tapped into the forms unique ability to fly towards Zack snatching him out of mid air and, though smaller than the human, since she was a champion form she packed the physical strength to hold Zack. Maintaining a firm grip with all four arms her delicate looking metal wings flapped as she did as instructed only to say "Something tells me you have something in mind." She had a knowing look on her face that only came likely to remembering multiple lives. In her base form of BlackAeroAgumon she was three hundred fifty six years old after all.
Kazumi watched as Marigold whacked on of the Gizmon: AT's while suggesting to spread out and get loud. Oh they could do that no problem. "You heard her, guys. Let's make some noise!" Kazumi said as Koko made their way in front of Kazumi to shield the general while Lalamon moved to shield her from behind.
"Howling Burst!" Koko exclaimed as a mighty howl was released from the gentle giant before a burst of energy launched from the Komondomon's mouth heading for the various machines in the area.
"Flowery Song!" Lalamon exclaimed as a melodius song began sounding throughout the ship as razor sharp flower petals appeared. Then she launched the razor sharp petals at the machines herself showing she was more intimidating than she appeared.
Vemmon X3a then flapped his butterfly wings lifting himself off of the ground his focus on the Gizmon: ATs nearby. His wings began to gently shimmer before he said "Infinity D-Dream!" Shimmering dust shot from his wings heading for the machine digimon. While not as loud as the others it was certainly eye catching.

"Ma'am, one thing you should know about me. Never accuse me of having a plan. The idea is for everyone else to keep him busy while we keep him from settling down and actually getting to focus on the fight. And rescuing Violet along the way." Zack said as they soared through the gloom, partially losing sight of their comrades below but able to see the flashes of impact and to hear the sounds that were bounding off of every crawling purple surface on the inside of the craft. "If the construction of this ship is anything to go by, he's got more resources then we can match by ourselves. And that means we've got to cauterize the hydra's neck before we get overwhelmed." Zack said as they finally managed to spot the XT in the gloom from the glinting light off of its purple shell. Zack grinned, standing in whatever hold BlackAeroAgumon was using for him. "Now throw me." He said, with a voice that broached no questioning of that abjectly insane idea and radiated confidence in success, or at least did a pretty good job acting it.
The howling burst knocked some of the ATs sprawling, rolling end over end with their odd arms flapping helplessly trying to get some kind of traction in the air like they had all been bashed aside like dandelion seeds in a hurricane.
A few of them were caught like clay pigeons by the spinning, glittering petals that Lalamon had fired, the sound of metal scraping away accompanied by sparks flying off of the orb machines in every direction, deep gashes left in their outer armor.
A group of the ATs had clustered around Vemmon X3a. Too close it seems as a burst of glittering dust expanded outward and clung to them, sending shocks of shuddering electricity through them as it caused a deep and rattling damage to their circuit boards and mainframes, making the bundle of wire tendrils under their main bodies twitch and flail out in random directions.
Marigold was still at the center of the fray, darting through the air like a space age fighter jet and twirling her spear through the air to catch ATs that had gotten too close to her range, sending them smashing into one another as she batted them about like baseballs.

"Dealing with our so called "hydra" is a pretty good idea seeing as the minions aren't really individuals like Vemmon is. When XT goes down they would likely deactivate and then we can tend to your friend, Violet." BlackAeroAgumon X2 said "Fortunately after the threat is dealt with we all have a means to effectively get to the ground safely." When Zack said to throw him it definitely sounded like he wasn't kidding and if she was much younger she would of done far crazier. However she doubted Gizmon: XT would even remotely expect such an impromtu strategy so BlackAeroAgumon X2 smiled before using all four of her arms to fling Zack into the air as asked before following.
The attacks from the others below were certainly doing the needed job as the Gizmon: ATs were being knocked about with some of them flailing their limbs helplessly. If the group wasn't outnumbered still this would probably be hilarious but alas. Vemmon X3a'a raised his clawed hands purple sparks dancing in his palms as he took aim at the ATs before he said "V-Viral Lightning!" Purple bolts of electricity then burst loose from his pinchers shooting out across the field.
Koko waited as some ATs got close before they said "Howling Wiper!" The large vehicle digimon than started swiping at the swarming mass with their large ears which was bound to cause damage to foes that got far to close.
"Lala Spiral!" Lalamon said as the leaf on her head spun like a turbine whipping up a gust of wind sending it out upon the enemies. Such a thing was bound to give the enemy something to think about.

Zack soared through the air, the pure rush of wind buffeting at the material of his jacket. he clutched his knees up against his chest, turning in a midair roll that ended with one of his feet outstretched, the other folded up against it. his arms bent, hands clenched into fists. The others didn't have any way of knowing this was a classical rider kick pose but it somehow felt right to him as he drove like and arrow toward the back of his target's head.
"Hey! Agent Smith!" He said, actually allowing himself a grin as the mechanical villain turned around to face him and a got an eyeful of Zack's hard light bootheel, the sound of denting metal radiating through the air as Zack was suddenly VERY up close and personal with an Ultimate level digimon. Clinging on for dear life as he grabbed hold of the upper arm of the beast as it tried to shake him, dipping and diving like a rollercoaster out of control to try and jar him loose.
"Get off of me you pitiful insect! I'll flay your skin from your disgusting meat bag!" The machine roared as it tried to scrape at him with its wide green metal fingertips. He scrambled as best he could, holding on and staying just out of easy grasp of the robot's hand.
The battle below did not seem to be going will for his metallic enforcers. Their ranks being thinned with each blow by the assembled digimon. There may have been a lot of them but they didn't move like living, fighting digimon. They moved like drones, simply programmed ones at that. They had one move, approach the target and begin to spin. Their recovery from any knockback was slow and clumsy, they had no ability to adapt or to dodge the attacks thrown at them. Leaving them to get chopped down like wheat from the chaff by the bundle every time one of their attackers aimed a strike.

Though BlackAeroAgumon X2 couldn't see the manuever Zack pulled she sure as hell heard the result and it was a loud and satisfying sounding clang coming from Gizmon: XT which made the xros digimon smirk as she moved up to assist Zack who was now holding on for dear life with XT trying to grab at the human. Stretching her mettalic wing she used it to swat at XT's reaching hands before she said "Such wretched manners. One would think you would have better manners than to grab at people. Makes me wonder what lessons the younger digimon are taught." While in this form she was a champion she was also likely much older than Gizmon: XT. Having several previous lifetimes more than contributed to that.
Meanwhile below Kazumi's group had gone to basic attacks to repel the metal menace as they seemed mindless and clumsy so fancy technique was far from necessary to dispatch them. This was getting ridiculous though. There had to be a way to stop their movements if only for a short time. "To bad none of us can freeze their systems or something. Electricity sure isn't shorting them out." Kazumi said in regards to everything she observed feeling as frustrated as her partners since the battle seemed to be going nowhere fast.

"Agreed. We're knocking them around like tenpins but they don't even have the good sense to stay down!" Marigold said, diving through mid air as she smacked one of the ATs end over end like a baseball in flight, sending it spinning into one of its comrades. "I've never seen somebody route code through this many machine digimon at the same time. Where the hell is he controlling them from?!" She said, tossing off another half dozen or so of the sentries. They could bat them around forever and a day but eventually it would be a numbers and stamina game that was NOT on their side.
"Sorry man. I'm kinda attached to my skin AND my meat bag." Zack said, trying to scramble under the XTs guard now that the X2 that had just tossed him across the room was running interference. "But you DO have something I need to pick up!" He said, reaching for Violet, laying a gloved hand on their exterior only for a buzzing electrical shock to jump into his finger. Violet looked up at him for only a moment and they shared a glance.
"This unit cannot go. This unit...must perform its function." Violet said in a tone that was thick with emotion as far as they were concerned, the shock enough to throw Zack off balance. The XT shrugged him off, sending him falling end over end through the several stories of open space.
