A/N this is my first fanfiction in several years, so please don't be too harsh on me when it comes to criticism despite how much I don't mind it ^v^.
The Disc Zone was collapsing. Despite all of Xros Heart's efforts to stop Kiriha from fighting Blastmon, they failed. The ground had already opened up and took Shoutmon, Mail Birdramon and Greymon down to the dark depths of the zone where no one could possibly know where they went. Taiki was unsure what his next move would be as he was missing his friend and partner, Shoutmon. Without him, his options were limited. He just hoped that Shoutmon would appear soon before the Bagra Army started to attack again. Kiriha on the other hand was just chilling on Deckerdramon's foot, eating diginoir like he didn't have a care in the world to what would happen to the zone. Another mountain fell off the floating zone, disappearing from sight.
"If this keeps up the whole zone will fall apart!" Akari confessed, she was right however, the zone wouldn't last much longer if it continued to crumble.
"What should we do Taiki?" Zenjirou asked. Taiki looked down at the floor and tried figuring out a plan, however, he remembered that Kiriha held this Zone's Code Crown. He turned to face his cold-hearted rival who was still munching on the yellow coloured chip-like food.
"Kiriha, can't you save this zone from collapsing with your Code Crown?" Taiki proposed but he had doubts that the blue general wouldn't be on the same wavelength as he was in terms of trying to save digital country. It seemed he was right with Kiriha's next line.
"Why should I do that?" Kiriha questioned.
"To save your friends!" The goggle exclaimed, "Besides, this is your zone now, right? Isn't it common sense that you should protect the Digimon living here?"
As much as he hated it Taiki was right, it was a common practice for the leader of a zone to protect the inhabitants living in it. Kiriha flung himself off of Deckerdramon's arm and slowly walked towards the frightened Disc Zone Digimon, staring at them for a minute, sharping his eyes suddenly the next which made a Digimon named Lunamon burst into tears.
"You weaklings and your tears make me sick!" Kiriha growled. Quickly Taiki ran up to the blonde and grabbing him on the shoulder.
"Kiriha!" He yelled, preparing to punch his own rival but it wasn't long till Kiriha threw him into Deckerdramon and pinning him against his own Digimon.
"Remember this, Taiki," Kiriha said, "I'm collecting the Code Crowns so that I can remake the Digital World to the way that I want it. And what I want is a world where only the strong live." Kiriha stared into his rival's eyes making sure that Taiki understood what he wanted. It was clear that he didn't want anything to do with the Disk Zone civilians, "Losers just get in the way." Taiki was just about to push Kiriha back and attempt to swing in for another punch when the ground rumbled. The zone had started to collapse again but that wasn't what caught Taiki off guard. Kiriha had seemingly had lost his footing which caused him to crash into his soft-hearted rival with their lips connecting.
The red general knew it was an accident but it didn't help but make his cheeks flustered, the general of blue however reacted didn't react until he realised exactly what he just did to his rival. He turned around swiftly, pushing Taiki away from him and tried to hide his face from the embarrassment he made in front of Taiki, who currently had no idea that Kiriha Aonuma, had formed some sort of crush on the red general of Xros Heart.
