Chapter 3: Team Savior to the Rescue!

Mulan gasped at the sight she saw when she arrived at the village. Several goblin like Digimon were running around, waving their clubs like wild as they chased after several tiny Digimon. The village was composed of several grass huts and some of them even seemed to be on fire.

Mulan watched in both horror and awe as she watch the sight unfold before her. She couldn't believe what she saw yet everything seemed so real. Dorumon and FanBeemon were battling some of the Digimon while Mulan watched on. As Mulan watched, one of the goblin Digimon saw her.

"Uh-oh a human! I better tell the boss about this," the Digimon said aloud before running off.

"Mulan look out!" Dorumon shouted at her.

Mulan turned to see one of the goblins running straight at her. Mulan was too shocked to move or do anything as the Digimon ran at her.

"Helmet Reversal!" came a slightly feminine shout.

Suddenly an armored Digimon appeared in front of Mulan as the goblin Digimon swung its club. The club hit the armored Digimon square on the helmet. The goblin Digimon let out a gasp of surprise as the hit bounced off the helmet and the armored Digimon countered with a headbutt to the goblin Digimon's chest, sending it flying backwards.

"Whoa" Mulan said

The armored Digimon turned to Mulan as Dorumon and Fanbeemon joined them.

"Ryudamon! You're all right!" Dorumon said happily.

Ryudamon nodded before saying, "The Goblimon are destroying the village and capturing the young Digimon. We owe it to the village to help them,"

"Right, You and I will take care of the Goblimon. Mulan, I want you and Fanbeemon to gather up the In-Training Digimon and get them to safety. It's also important we find out where they are holding the captured Digimon," Dorumon ordered them.

Mulan was surprised by Dorumon sudden change in demeanor. When she first met him, he seemed so cheerful and innocent but now seeing him battle, he was composed and confident.

"I saw the Goblimon putting the Digimon in a large cage in the center of the village before I came looking for you. If we can distract the Goblimon long enough for Mulan and Fanbeemon to free them, it'll give them plenty of time to get out to safety," Ryudamon suggested.

"Alright sounds like a plan. Team Savior it's time to save the day!" Dorumon shouted.

Dorumon and Ryudamon ran off to battle a group of Goblimon who had a group of plant looking baby Digimon in a corner.

"Come, Mulan, we must hurry," Fanbeemon told her.

Mulan nodded and followed Fanbeemon.

"Hey, umm Fanbeemon, what can you tell me about these Goblimon?" Mulan asked.

"Goblimon are the bullies of the Digital World, always picking on younger Digimon because they think they are stronger. They are typically very dimwitted and not that dangerous when alone, but in a group they cause quite a bit of trouble," Fanbeemon told her.

The two rounded a corner and saw a group of Goblimon throwing some Digimon into a big cage full of similar Digimon.

"The boss isn't going to believe the load we got for him this time," One of the Goblimon said.

"Yeah we are sure to get a big reward after this," Another said.

"Gear Stinger!" Fanbeemon shouted as he flew into the group.

Fanbeemon then proceeded to fire several stingers at the Goblimon, while Mulan rushed up to the cage.

"Don't worry little guys Team Savior is here to help," Mulan reassured the Digimon.

Mulan quickly untied the vine keeping the door closed, before throwing the door open. She was in the process of helping the little Digimon out of the cage when she heard a loud noise.

"Bone Club!" came a monstrous shout.

Mulan and FanBeemon turned to see Dorumon and Ryudamon flying in their direction. The two hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Dorumon! Ryudamon!" Mulan shouted as she hurried down to them. "Are you two alright?"

Dorumon gave Mulan a pained smile as he stood up. "Yea…yeah we're fine that Orgemon hits like a girl anyways,"

"Ha those are bold words for a weakling like you, pipsqueak," said a rough voice.

Mulan looked up to see a large, green ogre creature with its mouth agape walk forward.

"If you two are the best this village has to offer in terms of champions then we should have this place cleared out in no time," the Digimon taunted them.

Ryudamon stood up and glared at the creature. "We aren't finished yet, Orgemon.

"Ha ha, you're brave rookie, I'll give you that but you're no match for a champion level Digimon like me," Orgemon told them.

"We'll see about that, we have our secret weapon with us," Dorumon said.

Orgemon gave them a confused look before his eye fell onto Mulan.

"Oh, so you're the human I was told about," Orgemon said sizing her up. "You don't look that tough to me,"

Mulan took a step forward. "Look here Shrekmon or whatever your name is, you may think your tough but you're nothing but a bully,"

Orgemon let out a loud laugh "Hahaha this is rich, you think you're so tough little girl? Well let's see how tough you talk when I absorb your little friend's data when I beat them,"

Orgemon began to take an intimidating step towards the group. Mulan shrunk back in fear, unsure of what to do. Dorumon kept his eyes on Orgemon, not even intimidated by the other Digimon.

"Alright, Mulan, now would be a great time to make us Digivolve," Dorumon told her.

"What, how do I do that?" Mulan asked.

"You're Digivice," Fanbeemon told her. "It holds the key to Digivolution,"

"Oh right," Mulan said as she took her Digivice off her belt.

Mulan pressed the green button, causing the screen to light up. She quickly used the arrows to change the screen in search for any clue on how to make her Digimon Digivolve.

"I don't mean to rush you, Mulan, but if you could make us Digivolve soon that would be great. Orgemon is getting closer," Dorumon told her, trying to hide the panic in his voice.

Mulan pressed the arrow keys even faster but still the screen remained the same.

"I don't know how to!" Mulan panicked.

"Dorumon, we have to fight back in order to give Mulan enough time to figure this out," Ryudamon told him.

"You're right. Alright Team Savior it's time for Operation: Distraction. Let's hit hard and fast, and remember to avoid his club he can hit pretty hard with that thing," Dorumon ordered.

The team quickly rushed forward and began attacking Orgemon while Mulan continued to frustratingly press the keys of the Digivice.

"Come on you stupid thing work," Mulan told it.

Mulan looked up to see that Dorumon and the others were managing to land some hits on Orgemon, but none of them seemed to be doing much damage. Orgemon seemed to be getting frustrated since he couldn't hit any of the members of Team Savior.

"That's it, enough playing around!" Orgemon shouted. "Pummel Whack!"

A dark energy began to form around Orgemon's fists before traveling up his club. He then swung the club and a dark blast of energy flew out and hit Dorumon and the others. The blast caused them to hit the ground hard.

Orgemon laughed as he stood above them.

"Haha so much for "Team Savior". Haha the boss will give me a big promotion for taking care of you weaklings," Orgemon taunted. "Once I absorb your data, your little human friend and I are going to have a nice long chat,"

Orgemon raised his club and was about to swing it down on the brave Digimon when Mulan came rushing forward. She quickly moved her body in front of the hurt Digimon so that she would receive the hit from Orgemon's club instead of her new friends. Orgemon didn't even hesitate to bring the club down on them after Mulan made her brave move.

Suddenly, as the club came bearing down onto the young heroes, a bright light shot from Mulan's Digivice. Orgemon Stumbled backwards as the light blinded him.

"Argh! The light! It's too bright!" Orgemon screamed as he shielded his eyes.

"Dorumon Digivolve to" Came Dorumon's voice from within the light.

"Ryudamon Digivolve to" Followed Ryudamon's voice.

"Fanbeemon Digivolve to" Arrived FanBeemon's voice.

Mulan watched in awe as the light emitting from her Digivice engulfed her Digimon and changed them.

"Dorugamon!" Dorumon shouted as his body changed in size in shape and his voice got deeper.

"Ginryumon!" Ryudamon shouted as she changed as well.

"Waspmon!" FanBeemon shouted as he underwent a similar change.

Mulan shield her eyes as the light got brighter but when it died down she was amazed to see that all three of her Digimon had Digivolved.

Dorumon now resembled a large beast-like dragon with wings, while Ryudamon resembled a more slender armored dragon and FanBeemon resembled a large, mechanical armored wasp.

Orgemon gasped aloud and began to tremble when he saw the three Digivolved Digimon before him.

"Th…Three Digivolutions at once," He said in a shaky voice. "But that's not possible."

Dorumon, now Dorugamon stepped forward.

"Believe it Orgemon. Thanks to Mulan's courage and willingness to sacrifice herself to save use we were able to use that emotion and energy to Digivolve," Dorugamon said.

Orgemon took a step back, too afraid to do anything. Then, remembering his honor, shook himself out of it and took a step forward.

"I don't care how many of you there are or what level you are. I'm still going to beat you to a pulp!" Orgemon shouted as he ran forward.

Orgemon rushed the group and raised his club.

"Bone Club!" He shouted as he brought his club down.

"Battle Rod Break!" Ginryumon shouted.

Ginryumon then jumped forward and turned her body to block the attack as her armor produced a slight glow. Orgemon brought his club down only to have it break in half as soon as it struck Ginryumon's body. Orgemon let out a surprised gasp as a panicked looked stuck his face.

"Turbo Stinger!" Waspmon shouted, as he took to the sky.

Waspmon then fired several laser like stinger blasts from his stinger. The stingers penetrated Orgemon through the arms and legs, leaving him even more stunned.

"My turn" Dorugamon said, as he planted his feet into the ground.

"Cannon" He shouted as he charged up his attack. "Ball!"

Dorugamon then fired a large cannon ball from his mouth that hit Orgemon dead on. Orgemon let out a shriek as the attack obliterated him. Once the smoke from the attack cleared several yellow lights floated into the sky from where Orgemon once stood.

Mulan stood awestruck during the entire battle, not quite able yet to comprehend what she had done and what had taken place. Dorugamon and the others then degenerated back to their rookie forms.

"Yahoo!" Dorumon shouted as he jumped into the air.

Mulan was brought back to reality by Dorumon's celebratory shout and rushed up to the group of Digimon. Dorumon turned and ran to her before jumping into her arms. Mulan wasn't prepared for this and instead of catching the Digimon the two fell to the ground.

"Oh my, are you two alright?" FanBeemon asked as he and Ryudamon rushed to join them.

Mulan laughed as she sat up. "Yeah we're fine,"

"Mulan you're amazing!" Dorumon exclaimed.

"Are you kidding me? You guys are the amazing ones. I mean you totally kicked that Orgemon's ass!" She told them with wonder.

"We couldn't have done it without you," Ryudamon told her.

Dorumon smiled big and nodded in agreement with Ryudamon.

"She's right, if you weren't here to help us Digivolve we would have been toast," FanBeemon told her, agreeing with the others.

Mulan blushed and brushed back the hair clinging to the side of her face with her hand.

"Dorumon, Team Savior!" Came a high pitched voice.

The group turned to see a bunch of the tiny plant like Digimon hopping towards them.

"The Tanemon and the Yokomon are alright," Dorumon said.

The large group of Digimon hurried up to the team and one of the Yokomon stepped forward.

"We wanted to tell you that all of the Goblimon ran off once you bet Orgemon," The Yokomon told them.

A Tanemon then joined the Yokomon.

"And we wanted to thank you for saving us by throwing you a feast!" The Tanemon told them.

"You don't have to do that, the satisfaction of knowing you guys are safe and your thanks is reward enough for us," Dorumon told them.

Suddenly a loud rumble came from Dorumon's stomach.

The Tanemon laughed and said. "It sounds like your stomach thinks otherwise,"

"Haha yeah I guess Digivolving and that battle really worked up an appetite," Dorumon told them with a laugh.

"Then you'll stay for the feast! It's the least we can do for your help," The Tanemon told them.

"We'll get it ready for you right way! Come with us to the village square," The Yokomon told them.

The other Yokomon and Tanemon cheered as the lead the group of to the center of the square. Mulan stayed, seated on the ground with a smile on her face as she watched them all go. She couldn't believe the birthday she was having and just needed a minute to take it all in.

"Mulan!" Dorumon shouted as he rushed back to get her.

Dorumon rejoined Mulan and gave her a concerned look.

"Is everything alright, Mulan?" He asked.

Mulan gave him a smile and nodded. "Yeah I just needed a minute,"

"What for?" Dorumon asked.

"To take all of this in. It's hard to believe I am in the Digital World and just witnessed a Digimon Battle to the death," Mulan told him.

Dorumon smiled. "I understand, it is a lot to take in at once isn't it,"

Mulan nodded and then the two shared a laugh.

"Dorumon! Mulan!" Came FanBeemon's shout.

Dorumon looked back to the village. "We should probably go join the others.

"Yeah" Mulan said as she stood.

Dorumon gave her another big smile before heading off with Mulan following close behind.

Best Birthday Ever Mulan thought as she entered the village with a smile on her face.

As Mulan and the rest of Team Savior celebrated with the Digimon of the village, a Digimon dressed in kendo training gear watched on from the top of a small mountain.

"Wow, did you see that Master Vergil?" The Digimon asked.

A teenage human wearing a blue jacket, a blue shirt and blue jeans with slicked back white hair stepped up behind the Digimon. The human was carrying a katana and had a blue Digivice attached to his belt.

"I did indeed, Kotemon," Vergil, answered the Digimon. "Three Digivolutions at once."

"Pretty impressive for a newbie, and you have yet to get your Digimon to even Digivolve once," Taunted a female voice from behind.

Vergil turned to see a teenage girl with her long black hair in ponytail, wearing a black leather jacket over a pink t-shirt and black jeans. A pink Digivice present on her belt. She stood with her three Digimon behind her. A yellow, bipedal fox creature, a large imposing lion with a jacket thrown over his shoulders and an adorable pink rabbit creature.

"Kotemon just needs to continue to get stronger, Xena," Vergil told her.

Xena smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe girls are just better Digidestined then boys," She replied back.

Vergil shot her a glare.

"The prophecy says the last to arrive will lead the Digidestened to victory against the armies of tyranny and once again bring peace to the Digital World," Vergil told her.

"Are you saying a girl can't be the leader of the Digidestined?" Xena, asked threateningly.

Vergil, not wanting to anger Xena further, turned away.

"No, I just find it hard to believe that someone like her has the power and strength to lead," He told her.

Xena let out a sigh of disbelief and turned to leave.

"Ever hear the saying don't judge a book by its cover?" She asked him. "Look I would love to debate who should lead us and how to determine if they are right but Renamon and the rest of Team Warrior have to get back to training,"

Xena opened a Digigate and left Vergil there to contemplate what he would do next. Kotemon stood staring up at him, waiting. Vergil stood there staring down at the village before sharply turning around. He then started for the path that brought him and his team to the top of the mountain.

"Wait! Master Vergil where are you going?" Kotemon shouted as he ran to catch up.

"Unlike, Xena, I need more than a show like that to determine someone's worth. If this new girl is the leader of the Digidesetined, I am going to need to test her, to see if she is fit to lead,"

"An excellent idea, Vergil," Said a haunted voice.

Vergil and Kotemon stopped to see a grim reaper like Digimon descend from the sky as a large canine Digimon with a drill tail appeared from the trees.

"Ah, Phantomon, Dorulumon, did you take care of those Goblimon like I asked?" Vergil asked them.

"Yes and with great ease too," Phantomon commented.

"They hardly put up a fight," Dorulumon added.

"Good then you won't be too tired to help me test this new player" Vergil told them. "It'll be good training for Kotemon as well to go against someone his own level,"

Vergil then continued to walk down the mountain followed by Phantomon. Kotemon gave Dorulumon a worried look before the two hurried to catch up with Vergil.

From the bushes at the edge of the clearing, two pairs of binoculars, had watched the battle from the safety of the tree line.

"Wow, can believe that, sir," A dinosaur like Digimon, wearing navy camo and combat gear, said. "Three Digivolutions at one time,"

"I know, Commandramon, that was quite the show," The human next to him said.

The two put their binoculars back in their holders and glanced at each other. The human was a teenager wearing a camouflage army jacket and similar pants with tan combat boots. On his belt was a holstered pistol, his binoculars and a camo Digivice. The teenager had a combat helmet covering his head. The army apparel and the way the teenager looked made him appear as a solider fresh from boot camp.

"Do you think she's the one, sir?" Commandramon asked.

"I don't know, bud, but we better radio in and tell HQ about what we found," the solider answered.

The two then quickly and quietly ran off into the forest to make their call.

From the top of the tree a black Monitamon with a biohazard symbol on its chest, had recorded the entire battle. The video was then broadcasted back to one of the many monitors that filled the side of a dark room in a fortress somewhere in another server.

"It appears that the final player has finally decided to show themselves" Came a voice from in the room.

The light from the monitors reflected off of the lens of a person that spoke in the center of the room. The person was completely concealed by the darkness of the room, the only thing visible was the outline of his glasses produced by the light from the monitors.

"Now the games can truly begin," The voice said with a laugh.
