Sorry, normally I would say something here, but I want to get to the chapter right away. So, I will just leave with this message. If I have not already mentioned it in this story, I will mention it right here. I have an OC Catalog and Originally Created Digimon Catalog on my profile page which I am still adding too. Feel free to use anything on it, so long as you give me credit! Anyways, to the story!

The group's anticipation could finally go away as BanchoLeomon returned with news. Additionally, he brought Cherubimon with him. However, before they could even say anything, Damion Price saw the looks on their faces. It was not completely bad news, but there was bad news. "What is it?"

"I have spoken with the other Digimon Lords, and...well, its not good. Most of them won't take our word on this" BanchoLeomon told them. "They believe we may be suffering the affects of a virus or the humans are somehow forcing us. I believe what you all told me, but since I did not see it myself and cannot give my official statement that it is true, they cant take my word on it. And they don't trust the word of any human or a Digimon working with them. This means the only words they will take seriously is Leomon's, Dorumon's, Kotemon's, Dorugamon's, and Lalamon's. Jacob Mon was technically unconscious for the battle, and never saw the bodies disintegrate".

"Wait, if he had seen them they would take Jacob's word?".

"Jacob Mon once threw himself in front of a DEATH blaster to protect his older brother Dorumon and all his classmates. There were a lot of witnesses to this, and people already knew they had fired upon him as well, and that he believed he was a Digimon. Plus, he was protecting the children of some high ranking Digimon. This level of dedication, selflessness, bravery, and goodness is not even seen in a number of Digimon".

"Yes" Cherubimon agreed. "Unfortunately, while Jacob has high standing, some of the others might think Dorumon or Dorugamon would make up the story for Jacob's sake, and Lalamon and Kotemon both are friends with him and might do the same. That was a reason they gave to why they could not take their word, or ours, on what happened. Leomon is the only reason a few of them did at least agree to investigate this, one witness with no personal bias".

"Well, I hope that is not all the good news" Impmon added.

"Some good and some bad remain. Even everyone in this region does not fully agree with this. They think your coincidental timing was not an attempt to set you up, but to make you look like heroes so we might think this and drop our guard. That the reason they were fakes is because you did not want to expend real soldiers for this ruse. They won't attack you publicly at least, but you should still be cautious" BanchoLeomon explained.

Cherubimon stepped forward. "The good news is that they have given us some wiggle room to perform a joint investigation. However, we can't leave you alone here in the Digital World, or let anyone you can manipulate go with you alone into the Real World. As well, since you are a leader, they particularly do not trust you or Impmon..."

"Well, I guess that is something. So what is the plan then?"

"Cherubimon will leave immediately to look for evidence on his own. They demanded a second, Pure Digimon, investigation team look into this as well on paralell investigation" BanchoLeomon said as Cherubimon left. "The rest, we should explain inside to our team".

He said "our team". Damion Price immediately knew what he had in mind.


Jacob had his arms crossed and refused to even look the others in the eye. Clearly he was feeling much better. Unlike Tasha, who was currently soaking in the cold bath to keep her fever down. He and Dorumon was sitting on one side of the table, while Jean, Yaro, Renamon, and Gabumon was sitting on the other. Leomon was just watching silently from the side.

"You know, its kind of rude to just ignore a guest. Particularly one that saved your life" Yaro mentioned. Jean was not saying anything, for one reason or another. Jacob was fine with that. Jacob knew what they said was true, but that did not mean he had to like it...or them. Or even trust them.

"You could at least say Hi little bro" Dorumon mentioned.

"Me no trust them. Could all be one big act".

"So, your saying they on purposefully sent themselves to the Dark Zone, which we only got lucky that a Digital Gate had been infected and allowed access to and from there, when there was a good chance they never would have escaped at all, and also knew you would Omega Digivolve me to Ultimate which would cause you to pass out into a coma, leaving us vulnerable to an attack?"

Jacob knew Dorumon was at least probably right, but he still did not trust them. Also he was kind of annoyed. "Maybe not go exactly as they planned, maybe some improvising, but yes".

Dorumon sighed, and looked at the others. "He will come around eventually".

"He should have already! The way he is acting literally makes no sense" Yaro replied.

"I don't think that is it. I think he is upset Tasha did not fall into a coma like he did. Its his pride that is wounded" Gabumon mentioned.

"No way! She no put as much spirit in it!" Jacob yelled defensively.

Renamon giggled a little. "He is jealous".

"Am not!"

"Don't forget stubborn" Dorumon added playfully, smiling at Jacob.

"Nu uh no way! Me no stubborn! You stubborn one big brother!"

"Am not! You are the stubborn one! Otherwise, it would be easier to teach you how to speak properly!"

"Me speak fine!"

"You mean 'I speak fine'".

"You so insistent, you stubborn one!" Jacob replied.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"No way! You are the stubborn one!"

"Please" Jean said calmly, interrupting. And then she smiled. "Your both boys, and your brothers. You are both stubborn".

They both glared at Jean, while everyone else burst into laughter. "Are not!"

Jean smiled even bigger. "Really? Are you saying I am wrong? Because I was agreeing with both of you, so if you say I am wrong, you are saying that both of you are wrong as well".

"Well...ummm" they both stuttered. Then they crossed their arms. "Shut up".

"Wow Jean, I didn't know you had a sense of humor like that. You definently at least got them to stop argueing".

"What can I say? I am a girl of many talents".

"Mind if you teach me that one?" Dorugamon asked as she entered the room. "I really need to know that trick. Anyways, your friend is resting right now, she is asleep upstairs. Her partner is taking care of her".

"Wait..." Jacob started. "She better no in my bed!"

"I can't even count the grammar mistakes in that sentence" Dorumon stated.

"No no, she is in your brother's bed".

"Wait what! Why mine!" Dorumon complained.

"Because Jacob Mon would have yanked his sheets off immediately, and I only just took her out of the bath".

"Your point?"

"She is female, and you have more self control".

Jacob and Dorumon both blushed. "Oh..."

That was when BanchoLeomon, Damion Price, and Impmon entered. "So, we have news. Please try not to complain".

"Why would we complain?" Jean asked.

"Well, here is the bad news. Very few believed us, and even they won't be fully convinced unless their own investigation tells them something similar. Which is going to be difficult since we have no way to give them evidence or point them in the way of evidence. The only thing we do have evidence of is the attack, which is resulting in various Digimon factions calling out for War. The Digimon Lords at least are holding off on the idea for now, but eventually they will have to act if nothing turns up from their own investigation. In the mean time, we will also be doing our own investigation, and hopefully turn up evidence we can present to them to help avoid war. I am afraid further conflict may not be avoided though".

"I doubt my side will be any different" Damion mentioned. "My superiors would only believe this if we present them with actual proof as well. And if enough attacks happen on our end..."

"Then we need to hurry, and avoid war! Don't worry, team DV is on the case!"

"Team Mon will be even better then stupid Team DV! We get more evidence then they and we do it faster!" Jacob announced.

"Our evidence won't be craters or burried under broken trees though. Ours will have actual quality" Yaro countered. He and Jacob glared at each other.

"Oh, I am sure you will all do great, because you will all be working together" BanchoLeomon told them.

"This was an idea we both thought of and decided upon" Damion Price added.

"What!" they all yelled. "Work with them?!"

"You all worked together before" Dorugamon reminded them.

"Because we had to!" Dorumon exclaimed.

"Me no need them! Me just need big brother!"

"Technically, what you both need is a bath" Dorugamon added.

"The threat you will be facing is more then any of you can take without the others. Remember Ogremon Rage Form? This will be much worse then that, and you needed teamwork for that".

They all crossed their arms except Jean. "Fine. Once Tasha wakes up tomorrow, we will get on our way then".

"Hold on, who made you leader?" Dorumon asked. "They attacked our world more then yours, and they went after me and Jacob Mon personally. So I will be the leader!"

Jacob grunted. "Hey, what about me!?"

"I am older then you. You can't be the leader".

"No fair" Jacob protested, though a bit weakly.

"Alright, if you two are done trying to argue about everything, then both of you get upstairs. Don't think I forgot about that bath. Technically, you all need one, but only you two are my children".

"Awww, come on!" Dorumon complained. "Why do I need one?"

"Why me need one? Me has had ten in the last week at least while recovering!"

"Because I am your mother" she told them, with a glare. They both slinked backwards a little.

"Okay..."


Dorumon and Jacob both jumped into the water. Jacob squirted a bit of the shampoo at Dorumon, before he finally started to use it. Is this really a good idea? I mean, we know now that the people who attacked us at least this time were not actually humans. But, the other Digimon give a good point. Maybe this was not one big plan, but the humans did know Jacob was recovering and unconscious, and they could have staged this whole thing. It sounds kinda strange, but it could be true. But, if the humans that attacked us were not even human, and something else was behind this...even if a human was still behind this, this could still change things. Because fake troops means they lacked real ones, and if proven, we can make the case to the Digimon that humanity as a whole is not to blame...

Dorumon looked back at Jacob. He knew Jacob did not like this team up, and he knew that he did not trust them. To be fair, even Dorumon did not quite trust them fully. But he knew they were not behind this, because they saved their lives instead of letting them be destroyed. He looked towards Jacob. "I know you don't trust them..."

"You wrong" Jacob interrupted, surprising Dorumon.

"But...down there..."

"Yes, me no trust them fully. But they prevent soldiers from taking you away from me. From taking Kotemon, or Lalamon, or mom away from me. Me no trust them, or like them. Not yet. But, me know this no plot made by humons to trick us".

"Didn't look like it. Why did you hold back?" Dorumon asked.

"Humons not smart enough for this. Humons involved, only they have tools for this, but Digimon must be behind as well. Also claim Digimon attack them at same time. Me could tell, they no lie. Me good at seeing lies. Leomon knows this, stayed silent whole time..."

"What are you saying? Leomon helped them though!"

"Question. Why Leomon, only champion level, alone?" Jacob pointed out. Dorumon immediately realized what he was saying. Leomon shouldn't have been alone, he would know he could not take the sheer numbers of humans with those weapons.. And he was so quick to block a whole group of humans with Digimon. I swear, most of the time you are a reckless fool little bro, but you have these moments of brilliance sometimes. He doesn't trust or like the humans too much yet, but he pretended that was amplified in front of Leomon, because he is right. Leomon should never have been alone and facing groups of humans. And then, in the middle of combat, outnumbered, instead of initiating a surprise attack to at least get as many as possible he confronts them instead?

"That is why you were not attacking the humans, wasn't it? You knew before they even entered the door...little brother, you are an idiot, but sometimes you have these moments of brilliance".

Jacob looked both offended and proud of himself. He was trying to figure out if what Dorumon had said was a compliment or an insult. Deciding he did not want him to yell, Dorumon told him it was a compliment.

"Thank you then".

The real question is then, is this Leomon a real Digimon, or as fake as the humans? Dorumon questioned in his own mind.

No matter, tomorrow they would start their investigation, and they would find out what is really going on.

Woah, a permanent team up? And is Jacob finally turning over a new leaf? Is he right to distrust Leomon as well, or is everyone just getting paranoid? I guess to find out you will have to keep watching/reading...

Dorumon and Jacob heard the door open and Jean enter. They looked at each other, and both of them yelled at her. "Get out!"

Jean quickly went out and closed the door. "How long do boys need to get clean! You are not the only ones who need a bath!"

...okay, that was an interruption. Anyways, I guess to find out you will have to keep watching/reading Digimon: Saviors!
