If I may humbly interject?

To start, I would like to applaud you both for being adults about this disagreement and not resorting to playground violence: quite mature. I know my praise doesn't mean anything, but this is certainly an example to the rest of the wiki for how to handle disputes, and I'm glad to see people really communicating.

As for the actual point of debate, you both have ground, here. No one quite does so much basic deduction as I do, believe me, and I appreciate its value, but I also appreciate brevity and conciseness where possible. Tio is quite obviously rather heavy, but does not seem impeded by it in any great way, and her grip on Draco, for sake of compromise, could be described as unstrained rather than effortless, as it did not tax Tio overmuch but she would probably still have to grip to keep hold on a squirming captive.

Regarding the bulletholes: it is indeed a point of speculation regarding whether or not she was shot down for flying too high or too fast. If we recall the ending card of the dragonewt and its subspecies, we will remember that basic dragonewts are listed as being incapable of flight on the grounds of insufficient wing size. Despite this, Draco appears to launch off the ground and fly away after Kimihoto confronts her. From our good friend deduction, we can decide that this launch was simply a powerful jump, and that she only glided away, as gliding is not the same as flying. She may indeed have been outpacing Tio on the wing, if for no other reason because Tio is hindered by ground obstacles, and Draco may have had to be shot down. Note that this action would not truly constitute use of force, as dragonewt scales are bulletproof, and it could not have truly pained her, except perhaps a little given that she was struck in the wings.

As a final point, Anon, you are quite even-headed and thoughtful regarding these subjects, and I am sure the wiki would be more than happy to have you if you decide to join in. I also commend you, Senkairen, for putting so much thought behind you argument, and for presenting it in a mature manner.
