Tactimon also reveals that Dorulumon ruined one of his strategies before leaving the Bagra Army altogether. Tactimon summons his sword and separates Taiki and Dorulumon from the rest of Xros Heart by creating a fissure in the ground. Taiki tells Shoutmon and the others to run away as Dorulumon tries to fight Tactimon. Tactimon's counterattacks, immobilizing Taiki and Dorulumon. He takes Taiki's Xros Loader and states his intent to kill Dorulumon as painfully as possible.
In an unnamed Zone, Kiriha has [=MailBirdramon=] fight off a squad of Troopmon. Nene arrives and tells Kiriha that Taiki is about to be executed by Tactimon. Tactimon has Taiki and Dorulumon placed in a cage for the execution and taunts Dorulumon as [=AncientVolcamon=] returns. Nearby, Zenjirou speculates that Dorulumon attacked Cutemon's village, but Cutemon refuses to believe it. Shoutmon and Zenjirou start to plan a desperate attack against Tactimon. Kiriha arrives just as Tactimon orders the Meramon to burn Taiki and Dorulumon to death. Tactimon tells [=AncientVolcamon=] and the Meramon to fall back so that he can fight Kiriha himself. Kiriha challenges Tactimon to a battle for his Code Crowns. Shoutmon and the others take advantage of the resulting distraction to free Taiki and Dorulumon with [=BlueMeramon=]'s help. [=BlueMeramon=] says that he wants to repay a debt to Dorulumon and leads everyone to [=AncientVolcamon=]'s cave to retrieve Taiki's Xros Loader.
Inside the cave, [=BlueMeramon=] reveals that three years before, he was one of an entire squad of [=BlueMeramon=] fighting on the front lines under Tactimon's command to conquer an unnamed Zone. Dorulumon tried to get them to fall back just as Tactimon had planned an attack on the local resistance that would kill [=BlueMeramon=]'s fellow soldiers as collateral damage. The resistance forces retreated upon overhearing Dorulumon just as Tactimon ordered the attack. Dorulumon was only able to save one of the squad from the bombardment and defected immediately after.

[=BlueMeramon=] takes the hit and is mortally wounded. Shoutmon kills [=DeathMeramon=] with a single attack and [=BlueMeramon=] dies happy knowing that he was able to save Dorulumon's life. Taiki and the others emerge from the cave and fight off the remaining Meramon forces, who [=AncientVolcamon=] absorbs to form [=FusedAncientVolcamon=][[note]][=FusedAncientVolcanomon=][[/note]]. Taiki uses the Garurumon [=DigiMemory=] to stop [=FusedAncientVolcamon=] from blasting Dorulumon.

The resulting explosion kills [=FusedAncientVolcamon=].
Meanwhile, Tactimon defeats [=MailBirdramon=] and Kiriha reloads Greymon, who is able to match one of Tactimon's attacks with one of his own. Kiriha retreats with Greymon and [=MailBirdramon=]. Dorulumon finally agrees to join Xros Heart and the Code Crown rises from the ground to be taken by Taiki.
