Captain Price looked at security camera footage from their secret Digimon Surveillance Network, specifically of Jacob and Dorumon playing. He had to admit, the two of them were a lot alike. It was almost unnatural. Never before had he seen a human/Digimon team so similar. Usually, there were always a few personality differences, but with those two it was minimal. It was as if they truly were brothers. Which I guess in their minds, they were.

Still, he was so close, yet so out of reach. It was as if the universe was taunting him. After all, how was he supposed to phrase it in a way that was believable, and didn't completely wreck his mind? Getting him to believe was not going to be easy after all, since he was so firm in his belief he would run headfirst into danger. That level of belief was hard to break.

Still, its not like things have gotten much better. Reports of Digimon attacks kept reaching the Council, and according to Jacob and Dorumon, they received words of attacks from the Artificial Humans as well, though no proof of the artificial part still exists. Tensions were being fanned on both sides, and if they did not find some evidence soon, an all out war was inevitable. And like he mentioned, they still have no real evidence. They could prove there was an infection released at the valley, and they could prove Digimon were inside a corporate headquarters in the human world, and that human corporation was working in the Digital World. But they could not link the attacks to any of this to the attacks, or any wrong doing. The enemy was being clever, too clever for the ideals they initially boasted about. Almost like they were throwing them off the trail of the truth.

And now, there have been attacks directly on their team. Not only did this slow them down, it also could result in even more tensions, and possible injury or worse for the team. He needed a solution, or a lead, or something. But they could not bust back into that corporation again. They lined the police around them so they would be witnesses, or worse, human shields, should anything go wrong. The world was not ready for the revelation of Digimon yet. It had to stay a closely guarded secret.

After all, the panic alone would probably lead to a war if unchecked. And they were already about to have a war.


"Me no get it" Jacob said as he and Dorumon were taking a bath. "Me think this all stupid".

"Well, starting a war generally is stupid, done by stupid people who don't see a better way to get what they want. Though granted, usually one of them is on one of the actual sides going to war" Dorumon mentioned.

"That sound more stupid" Jacob replied as he washed his hair.

Dorumon shrugged as he washed his tail. "No argument here".

Jacob and Dorumon sat back to back, trying to think of anything that could help. Any other abnormal activity in the Digital World. Any Digimon that might be involved. Vadermon and Strategmon caught them off guard, but it was not too surprising. They were more mercenary then anything else. Probably the team was hired. So looking at their known associates would be a good idea.

"Bit Forest?" Jacob suggested. "Digimon act weird there sometimes".

"Not strong enough, and too obvious. What about Cruise Island? Its always missing, and recently two Digimon teams went missing there".

"Too flashy, would be place they not send teams. Oh, I got it!"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Overcharged Falls!" "Overcharged Falls!"

"The power levels produced there have been slightly lower lately, but nothing that caused enough of an alarm to check out".

"And strange flying Digimon were seen in that area that no one recognized or knew why they were there, but no attacks or disappearances or damages so no investigation".

"And another note..."

"Vadermon and Strategmon spotted there recently, at the Coco Mines!"

"I bet it there!"

"At Overcharged Falls!".

Jacob and Dorumon turned around and high fived. "We got our next location!"

The two of them then got out of the bath, dried off, and got dressed. They quickly shared their lead with the others. They finally had something tangible on these guys. They had a base there, Dorumon and Jacob was sure of it. And they were going to break into it.


"How much progress is still required?" Vadermon asked. "We do not want to get behind schedule".

"The Box is nearly unearthed. We are nearly there, and without incident" Datamon told them.

Strategmon smiled. "Once we release it and use the Control Conduit on it, no one will be able to stop us".

"This plan is so perfect!" Vadermon announced with joy. "Soon, the worlds will be ours!"


The team stepped through the Digigate and into a local village, populated with all sorts of Digimon. Jacob put his hand to the ground, and listened. "Machines nearby, in the mine".

"And I have a strange smell coming from Overcharged Falls" Dorumon added. "Artificial smelling. I think someone built a base over there, and is using the falls to power it".

"Then it sounds like we have ground to cover" Jean mentioned. "The question is, who goes where? We need to split up".

"I can take the mines" Yaro mentioned. "We need to figure out what they were up to there".

"I will go with him" Jean added.

"Then me, Jacob..." Tasha started, when he felt Dorumon's skull piercing glare. "...mon, Dorumon, and FanBeemon will go and deal with the base".

"Good luck, you guys" Jean told them.

"You too" FanBeemon replied, as the group split up to go deal with the situation. Tasha and Jacob were not on the best of terms, but Jean seemed more hesitant around him then usual, and Jacob and Yaro fought like cats and dogs, so Tasha was the only one who could go with him and not risk the entire operation. Besides, their working relationship, and friendship, was about the only thing that was stopping an all out war. If it broke, the war starts, and everything gets really bad really quickly.

The four of them headed down the road towards Overcharge Falls, as a flock of Biyomon flew overhead. Things were eeriely silent. "I thought there were no disappearances here? I don't like how quiet it is".

"Me no smell anyone else nearby, but Falls could wash away smell" Jacob mentioned.

"And the noise makes me unable to hear anything" Dorumon added. "Its actually clever, putting a base inside a waterfall. Its made it impossible to smell or hear anything strange. No wonder there have been no reports".

"Plus, it conceals it visually as well. The three most used senses for tracking are completely worthless, and yet if you know where to look, the base is easy to find. Its brilliant" Tasha added. "If we are lucky, it might mean it has no security system, or at least a minimal one. We might get answers without even being discovered, then we will have one up on them".

"Beating them at their own game" FanBeemon commented. "Nice".

"You no as stupid as you look" Jacob commented. Tasha nearly went off on a rant to insult him in response, but FanBeemon stopped her and covered her mouth.

"Just let it go, just let it go. Lets try to avoid starting another fight".

The group continued onward, until they finally reached Overcharged Falls. THe water was rushing so fast, it was unbelievable. It was pretty clear why it was called this. The water was overcharged so it zoomed by exceptionally fast. She nearly touched it, when Dorumon knocked her away. "The water is not just fast, its also electrified".

Tasha blinked. "You have to be kidding me. Then how do we get past the waterfall and into the base?"

"They must have a way to drain the electricity. Part of the report did mention that the total power levels had been dropped. What if that drop was from temporary drains?"

"Then we have to find a way to trigger it, or get past it some other way" FanBeemon told them.

Dorumon then seemed to have an idea, as he moved to the rock wall adjacent to the waterfall. "Little bro, I have an idea! Digivolve me and activate the Digi-Cartridge!"

"Alright! Digiload! Delta Digivolution!" Jacob shouted as he loaded the Digi-Cartridge.

Dorumon jumped forward, and seemed to be flying through an energy tunnel. The Delta Symbol appeared in a circle that Dorumon flew through, de-digitizing his outer appearance and giving his base shape. Lines of energy then connected to points all over the body, causing it to expand to the size of his next Digivolution, while orbs of light flew all over into the body, before it flew through another delta symbol which re-digitized the skin under a mini-cyclone of data that appeared wherever the Delta Symbol was being passed through. He landed on the ground, then circled around. "Dorugamon!"

"Alright, next one. Digiload! Digmon's Drill Activate!"

Dorugamon got a giant drill and began drilling through the wall. "We don't have the time to figure it out".

"Go Big Bro! You can do it!" Jacob cheered on, as Dorugamon tunneled through the rock and into the base. Everyone else followed him through. The base was built into a cave. The floors and machinery was all man made, so to speak, but the walls and floors were pure rock.

"Well well, if it isn't the pathetic humans and their pets" Vadermon mentioned, standing there in the base. "You couldn't just use the front door?"

They looked back, and it turned out they were constantly draining the electricity in a small area around the waterfall, meaning they could have just jumped in. "Whatever, this was more fun".

"Lets do this!" FanBeemon shouted.

====Dorugamon Omega Digivolves to...DoruGreymon!====

====FanBeemon Delta Omega Warp Digivolves to...CannonBeemon!====

"You really think the two of you can beat me?" Vadermon asked. "You must be delusional".

Jacob smiled, putting his hands in his pockets. "Payback time".

Tasha noticed that DoruGreymon tensed up immediately after Jacob put his hands in his pockets, as if he was expecting something to happen. Whatever it was, DoruGreymon was expecting Jacob to do something. "Are you sure you want to do that, brother?"

She immediately noticed the tone change, and the pronoun change. Before now, they almost always refered to themselves as Big Bro and Little Bro, rarely ever actually using the full word except on some occasions. But DoruGreymon called him brother, just brother, in a tone she had never heard him use with Jacob. It was more cold, analytical, and calculative. Jacob looked back at his brother. "They hurt friends. I keep promise".

And then, Tasha felt it. The flow of Digi-Energy in the room changed. Vadermon noticed this as well, and decided to strike earlier.

"You know, you brothers have two major weaknesses. The older brother's weakness..." Vadermon started, when he suddenly moved behind DoruGreymon and within striking distance of Jacob, but out of melee range. "Is the little brother. And the little brother's weakness is a lack of ranged attacks!"

Vadermon was about to get off an attack, when suddenly, he was seemingly hit with nothing and went sprawling back down the tunnel. Tasha did not even see what hit him, until she looked back at Jacob. In each of his hands was a strange looking Yo-Yo, and Vadermon had a Yo-Yo sized mark on his head. Then Tasha realized what happened. Jacob had reacted with one of his Yo-Yo's at a speed she had not seen. A speed she had only seen Digimon obtain. She had to remember, Jacob had the strength and speed of a Digimon. He had been able to react to the attack, countering his lack of ranged attacks with some sort of specialized Yo-Yo. A Yo-Yo that packed enough strength to put his older brother on edge whenever he used it.

"Well now...why have we not seen those before?" Vadermon asked as he got up.

DoruGreymon stepped up. "My little brother only uses them when he is really pissed off. And you had the unlucky job of trying to drown Jean to death. You see, you may have seen him angry, but he is a fun spirited, emotional, energetic kid. He rarely experiences true anger. And he made a promise, after an accident, he would only use them when his mind is sharpened by anger. Because you see, its kinda strange. He is smarter and more focused when angry, allowing him to engage in range combat without accidentally hitting a friend or brother..."

Tasha looked at Jacob, and she could tell. Jacob was pissed. Vadermon's earlier attempt on Jean's life had him all riled up, but this was different. Jacob did not have the same goofy look on his face. He was out for blood. He wanted to make Vadermon suffer. "CannonBeemon, we should stay out of his way, and only attack from a distance".

"Agreed".

"Smart move" DoruGreymon told them. Tasha only knew one thing for certain though. This fight was going to be interesting.


Jean, Renamon, Yaro, and Gabumon arrived to see Strategmon and a few Digmon excavating the dig site. There were chunks of chocolate everywhere. But more interesting was a giant box and some ancient ruins in the dig site. Well, for most. Gabumon was clearly more interested in the chocolate. "Gabumon, focus!"

"Sorry! But this chocolate is really good!"

"Well right now, we need to Digivolve before they notice us!"

"Yeah, lets do this" Jean mentioned as she and Yaro Digiloaded. "Full Digiload! Delta Omega Warp Digivolution!"

"Full Digiload! Delta Omega Warp Digivolution!"

====Gabumon Delta Omega Warp Digivolve to...WereGarurumon!====

====Renamon Delta Omega Warp Digivolve to...Taomon!====

Strategmon then noticed the four of them. "Well, it appears we have unwanted visitors. No matter, you cannot stop us now!"

"We will see about that!" Jean yelled.

"Yeah" Yaro exclaimed, as he took out another Digicartridge. "Digiload! Weapons Energize! Icebreaker Hammers!"

WereGarurumon was now weilding the Icebreaker hammers. "Now we got weapons this time around!"

Looks like a battle is about to go down. But will Jacob be able to take down Vadermon like he is right now? Will the group be able to stop these two mercs for good? And what is in that box? I guess to find out you will just have to keep watching/reading Digimon: Saviors to find out!
