For a time, the tensions only seemed to stretch further between X and the squad of penguins- but the "final boss" seemed to be optimistic. After what seemed to be just a few moments of consideration, she agreed that the android could accompany her to palace, proving she bore some notable standing there. Before the blue bomber could even begin to thank Desco's generosity (or wonder if Desco was the girl or the creature in her company), a new conflict broke out, this time between the girl and her Prinnies.
And then, all too suddenly, the argument reached a destructive climax. X was left shocked- no, mortified at the chaotic destruction of the penguin servant. Whether Desco had been genuinely upset or if she just intended to make an example of the sacrifice was lost on the android, for the moment. In either case, it served as a fine demonstration of what would happen if one were to cross the eldritch creature in the wrong way.
X couldn't help but exchange a glance with the remaining Prinny, the robot's expression appearing equal parts horrified and apologetic. The penguin doll just said nothing, scared mute and made trembling. The Mega Man wondered if he should say something - anything about the lost servant, much less anything whatsoever. Ultimately, when Desco beckoned for X to follow, he just did exactly that without a word, trying desperately to ignore the peering eyes of the curious crowd.
Was it right, following someone with such a disregard for life that they would snuff out their minions in a hurry? Did the girl even know better, considering her apparent age? She had spoken of trying to do good things for Ambrosia, so things like morality probably were not lost on her, but then what would justify this sort of behavior?
Finally, halfway to the palace, X caved to his questions. Pacing up beside Desco, the android leaned forward and asked, "Attacking your companion like that- was that really necessary?"
