Kazuya Oda, Royland and Julian decided to spend their day searching for clues about the whereabouts of the group of criminals that they have run into a couple of times before. Alas all of the effort where to no avail, the best thing they could find was some slight surface level rumors on the identity of one of the lieutenants, that brought some gloom to the otherwise cheery group. But amidst their disappointing journey for answers the group found a very interesting discovery, a remote village in the middle off in one of the islands. What is special about this village is the person in charge of it.
A famous and genius inventor with a mysterious past who showed up one day five years ago carrying an egg saying that it is his son, and one year after that he helped the village prosper to the point of gaining the favor of everyone there and eventually becoming its leader, his son who is now a Dorumon is showing a lot of promise as a fighter and is training to become the village next guardian. Of course our trio only knew about all of this due to meeting a citizen who is also a fisherman and was at the market to make profit, after everyone got to know each other well Kazuya asked to meet this scientist and the fisherman obliged taking Kazuya and company to the village.
Once there the village was but a humble place that looked fairly normal, except for the very impressive looking machines every building had. They did not look very flashy or anything like that but they were very effective at making everyone's life much easier which was exactly what the scientist intended in the first place. Quickly the group headed towards the home of the professor and knocked on his door, the door was then opened by an innocent looking Dorumon. They greeted him and went to see the mon himself, they all were surprised to find the professor to be non other than a Hakase Agumon, yet he looked....sick.
The digimon then offered Kazuya and company a seat and welcomed them with a warm sense of hospitality as the group engaged in stimulating conversation, both intellectuals (this excluded Julian the patamon and Dorumon who played patty cakes ) exchanged ideas and opinions, and through agreement and disagreement everyone had fun. But later as the conversation both Kazuya and Roy noticed that the professor was feeling pain through his chest, and the two continued to ask them whats going on. And the professor began to explain that its a virus he had before he got here to the village the reason behind was ambiguous, but the professor told them that no normal doctor can heal it. Kazuya smiled lightly the key word was normal, and he knew one that was anything but normal.
"I think I know someone for you, just wait a second." Kazuya took out his digivice and began to call Cassandra's office, hoping to find someone. "Hello do I have Cassandra's office ? If I do please let the good doctor know that we have an emergency, there is a digimon I know who is infected with a weird virus and needs help. We are in a remote village in an island, I sent you the location so please hurry." Kazuya asked as he closed his device and waited for the doctor to show up.
Outside the house of the Hakase, Julian and the Dorumon were playing tag together, this ironically served as a marker for the doctor for she should know of Julian.

"This is Dr. Cross...A virus you say? Please keep the patient and those in contact with them isolated until my arrival." The Doctor requested even as the woman herself packed up her gear for a house call. Typing in the coordinates she motioned for Cloak and Dagger to make themselves ready as she checked her own EV and holosuit was safely in place.
"We're dealing with a potential viral infection. Best to take precautions." She explained handing the other two EV suits off to her partners.
"Understood." Cloak murmured slapping the disk to his chest where it adhered, Dagger swiftly mimicking him as the Doctor opened the portal. Stepping out to eye the tropical volcanic island and the small village before her, swiftly spotting Julian nearby. Lifting a hand Cas made to motion the Digimon over in hopes of locating his Tamer. Hopefully Kazuya hadn't been in contact with the sick Mon or she could be facing an epidemic on her hands.

Julian was a little busy with his game of tag with Dorumon, it took him a couple of seconds to notice Cassandra and her partners coming out of a portal. The young Patamon then excitedly flew up to Cassandra, followed by the Dorumon who was shy and tried to hide behind Julian but obviously failed. "Hello there Doctor Cassandra, its been a while nice to meet you again. Oh you are here to fix the good professor ? Well follow me, let me take you to them." Julian and Dorumon then headed towards the house where everyone was, the patamon then went to the door and opened it. "Hey everyone, the doctor is in. Hehe I finally got to use that line, but yeah they are here." Julian exclaimed, introducing the doctor to everyone in the room.
Julian's intro clearly interrupted a conversation Kazuya and Hakase Agumon had, the three people inside the room turned to those who entered. The first thing they noticed was the suit everyone wore, Kazuya wondered what the reason behind that was. "Hey there Cassandra, glad you could make it. My friend here needs a little help, I think he can give you the details you will need. Take it from here Professor." Kazuya said as he leaned back on his chair, the man was interested to see what will go down.
The tiny professor rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed. "First of all, please call me Rey everyone, that includes you Kazuya I am not a fan of formality. And you must be Cassandra, nice to meet you. My condition is not contagious, unless you attempt to do a surgery. So do not worry about it, no doctor managed to fix it so its ok but Kazuya here believes you can do it so I am willing to give this a shot. The infection is inside my chest, and it flares up every so often making it hard to stand." The professor explained , hopefully this was clear enough for Cas.

"Are you certain? The spread of a virus on an island such as this could be catastrophic." The Doctor questioned her face solemn with worry, but her shoulders had slowly loosened at the prospect of it being non-contiguous. Slowly Cassandra stepped inside nodding her greetings to Kazuya and Roy.
"Are the pair of you unharmed? Any symptoms?" She questioned glancing towards her associates even as the Duramon stepped forward blade shifting to a hand which he laid gently upon the Doctors shoulder.
"Don't you think this is a little much Cas?" He questioned softly as the Doctor sighed lifting a hand to rub the bridge of her nose.
"I forget that Digimon are not familiar with disease in the way humans are." Cas murmured with a shake of her head before turning back to the Agumon and pulling a stethoscope from her bag. Cloak moving to protectively flank the door as his Tamer approached.
"I'm going to take a listen to your lungs now. I need you to slowly breath in and out for me if you will. The stethoscope may be cold." She warned gently before bringing the earbuds to her ears and placing the stethoscope carefully to the Digimon chest to listen to his breathing.

The respected professor nodded his head, he understood the doctor's fears but they were unnecessary right now. "Yes I am pretty sure, I have had this thing for approximately five years give or take. So I know everything there is to know about my condition, I went to countless doctors and even tried to operate on myself using one of my many inventions but to no luck." The professor said, he wondered what made this doctor special aside from the fact that she is a human operating on digimon.
Kazuya and Royland just greeted the doctor, while Royland's greeting was more formal and elegant, Kazuya's was more casual and playful giving the blonde doctor a flirtatious wink. But aside from that small differences both the man and the digimon were looking forward to seeing the doctor in action.
Rey then nodded as the doctor told him to brace for what is to come, just checking the breathing. "Alright, if you ever a big space to work in just let me know and I will take you there." The professor as he set aside his lab coat away from his chest in order for the doctor to have an easier time.
Back outside Julian and Dorumon continued to play games with each other as the sound of their laughter was the dominant sound in this small and humble village. Today ought to be another peaceful day.

"That is good. The last thing we want is an epidemic." Cassandra murmured before making a shushing motion at all gathered as she urged the Professor to breath in and out. Listening with rapt care to the sound even as she returned Kazuya's smile with a slim one of her own. Only to pull back a moment later a worried frown on her lips.
"It sounds as though you have fluid on your lungs." The Doctor murmured her brow creasing in concern and confusion. "I'll need to drain and test it to see the extent of this virus, but are you certain it's a virus?" Cassandra questioned as she leaned back on her heels eyes thoughtful.
"It sounds as though we will be needing the larger area after all." The Tactimon rumbled out crossing his arms as he shifted head half tilted as he listened to the sounds of Julian playing outside. The peace left him on edge s a warrior who had lived too long on the battlefield to know what to do with such a quiet.
"Yes I suppose we will." Cas mused straightening as she put her stethoscope away.

The doctor's fears were understandable, if whatever the professor had was infectious then it won't be an exaggeration to say that the entirety of the digital world have been in grave danger. Luckily for everyone including the professor himself that it was not infectious, but that did not make it hurt less. Kazuya Oda and Royland were just excited to see Cassandra work, but it seemed like they wont get a chance seeing as that the operation will be taken to a different room, ah well as long as the good hakase agumon will be given the treatment he needs, the Agumon then got up after the doctor finished doing her basic check up. Rey then walked near the door and turned to Kazuya and Royland. "You guys will have to wait here, please make yourself at home and if you need anything at all just call my son and he will help you. And as for the doctor and her coworkers, please follow me, I will take you to the place where we can do this thing." Rey then walked out of the room hoping the doctor would follow him.
Once outside the professor passed Julian and Dorumon who by now were telling stories to each other, the Dorumon then stared at Cloak as if he was entranced, if Cloak would look at him the purple Dinosaur would take his eyes away and shyly look the other direction.
But once past that the professor would open a room to a very small building, after getting inside the group would see a giant room lit by multiple candles, the middle was a giant empty space only two things stand out, the shelf full of book on the left and the one filled with chemicals of varying colors on the right. At the end of the surprisingly vast room laid one bed and a table. "Welcome to my storage slash study, I know its not the best place for you to work in, but I hope it is satisfactory. Now please instruct me on what to d-agh" Hakase Agumon then gripped his chest, as the pain came back worse than before. "Excuse me, that is no way I should be acting in front of a respected guest, my apologizes." Even though Rey was their patient, he still wanted to make Cas and co comfortable today.

"Dagger may stay with Kazuya and Roy if he wishes. It would be good to keep the area under observation and they did invite us here on your behalf." The Doctor murmured as the Durandamon behind her shifted the great golden digimon glancing over the pair before offering them a smile.
"I wouldn't mind staying. It seems they've met my twin, but missed out on meeting his better half aka myself. I'm Dagger by the way." Dagger joked one sword shifting into a hand as he offered it in greeting to the pair.
"That's because you were off making googly eyes at Angel." Cloak muttered, but followed the Doctor and the Professor out as the Hakase Agumon led them to the shed. Drawing the tarp from her bag Cas was quick to lay it over the table forming a makeshift operating station before motioning for the professor to lay down.
"This should be a relatively quick operation. I'm going to carefully drain the fluid in your lungs into a hermetically sealed vial which should ease some of your issues and give us samples to study. From there I'll be able to either figure out how to cure you or at least treat your illness." The Doctor explained gently even as Cloak offered the Agumon an arm up onto the table.
"Would you like to be awake or asleep for the operation?" She questioned gently.

The Duo of human and Digimon looked at each other for a second, they just remembered something. They never saw Dagger before, and they kind of glossed over him up until this point. The two of them had different thoughts that crossed their minds, Kazuya wonder if Dagger would be as scary as Cloak, hopefully he won't be. While the Spadamon was interested in one thing, from the moment they walked in Royland noticed that Cloak was strong, heck he knew that the moment he met him so the logical question for this knight was simple, how does Dagger compare to Cloak.
"Wait you said his better half ? Does that make you and Cloak like brothers or something ? If so how does that feel to have a brother, I bet it feels great." Royland excitedly asked, the spadamon does not meet siblings too often. In fact the last siblings he met were Bellamy and Luke and that happened so very long ago.
Back to the doctor, Cloak and the professor once the three of them was inside, the professor was happy to know that this place was acceptable for Cassandra to do her work. He then listened to the doctor's explanation about what she will be doing, it seemed simple enough. The professor then took Cloak's arm as he got up to the bed, he then towards him and gave Cloak a smile. "Thanks, and I see. That sounds about right, this Virus is a tricky one but maybe if you test it in a safe place you might be able to figure something. As matter of fact, if you could do that I could help with the production of the antidote, yes I will take out my books and we will probably do it in my lab. Ah excuse me, I just get excited about new discoveries, truly the flaw of us scientist is our greed for knowledge wouldn't you say ?" The Hakase Agumon said as he rubbed the back of his head, " Anyways I am just rambling at this point. I'd like to be awake." The professor said, as from now on he will comply with whatever the doctor is doing, and try to be the perfect patient.

"We're twins actually though we only began working together once again when we became the Doctor's partners." Dagger admitted with a hint of guilt when he thought back on those times they had fought. His memories of those days still fuzzy, but the day he'd faced down his own brother was burned clear as crystal within his mind.
"Having a brother is...complicated. I wouldn't trade him for any other sibling though given the choice." The Durandamon murmured offering the pair a smile seeming far more laid back then the often times taciturn samurai. Then again it was partially his own fault Cloak as the way he was. If he hadn't of left him...if they'd just stuck together...maybe his twin could have been spared whatever had shattered his mind and twisted him into the barely contained monster he'd become.
"Then again I don't have much of a frame of reference for what it would be like not to have ever had a sibling." Dagger added with a chuckle.
Meanwhile Cas nodded as she listened to the Professor and worked to lay out her equipment drawing out an oxygen mask and small tank and carefully hooking it over the Digimon's nose. "Take slow steady breaths. I'm going to numb the area and draw out the fluid. It should be a fairly simple procedure, but you may feel a bit of a tightness in your chest." The Doctor informed him with a gentle smile as she prepped the topical pain killer carefully numbing the area with a prick and rubbing the spot until the Professor would admit he couldn't feel her touch any more.
Then she would ready the larger needle. "All right I'd suggest staring at the ceiling for this part and counting backwards down from one hundred. Don't speak and if you feel any pain or something is wrong squeeze Cloak's hand and he'll alert me." Cas informed him as the Tactimon gingerly took the Agumon's paw into his own armored hand so he could communicate.

Kazuya and Royland were both a bit confused by Dagger's statement ? From what they can assume, it seems that Dagger and Cloak were not together for at least some time, the two obviously had a lot of questions but Kazuya decided to simply stay shut. Royland however was too curious to do that. "What does that mean ? Where you two not together before you met doctor Cassandra ? And if so why ? " Royland asked and while Kazuya did not, he still was really interested in Dagger's answer.
"Huh interesting, well in my previous life while I did not have a brother I had a very close friend, he was like my brother. And I had hoped that maybe when I was reborn that we would reborn as brothers, but sadly I was not granted that wish. So yeah I do not need to tell how much you need to treasure your brother. Because life is an interesting roller coaster, you can't know what tomorrow will have in store for you. And having someone like a brother to share it with you is something amazing." Royland said with a smile on his face, he leaned back on the wall and got in a more relaxed position.
"By the way Dagger, are you proficient as a medical expert ? Or is it just Cassandra that does that work ?" Kazuya asked a bit curious, he wondered if both twins were more bodyguards to Cas than actual coworkers.
Back to the professor and the doctor, the Hakase agumon nodded to Cassandra and just followed her every order. Even though as a man of science, his curiosity almost made him look at the needle as he entered his body, but he decided to not do that and just do what Ms Cassandra told him to do. It was painful but the Agumon only flinched for a brief moment, no screams or even grunts. He just waited for the doctor to finish her job.

For a long moment Dagger was silent mulling over his choice of words before deciding on the truth if not a diplomatic one. "We were not born in a good area and were young. I was recruited by Luminas while my brother...was not. Back then I thought it was merely because I was the more skilled combatant of the two of us not realizing the cities growing leanings against virus types and the pair of us were separated. I went on to be trained while my brother remained to make his own way in life. Our reunion prior to the Doctor was not a pleasant one." The Durandamon summarized his voice solemn and full of old regrets.
"My twin knows enough basic first aid to act as Cas's assistant, but I've never had much skill at such things so typically I prefer to act as bodyguard or lookout." He added answering Kazuya's question briskly. He chose to turn a blind eye to Roy's speech in regards to siblings having already learned such a painful lesson.
"But I have to ask. What brought the two of you out here of all places?" Dagger questioned with a tilt of his head.
Cassandra worked quickly once the area was numbed as she drew out a far larger syringe though it's point was minute. Carefully feeling her hands over the Agumon's ribs she threaded it neatly into his chest mentally counting down the calculated distance and listening for any hitch in the dinosaurs breathing before she began to draw back the plunger. The vial filling with a dark grey liquid that looked just wrong even to the Doctor's naked eye.
Leaving her to quickly seal up the injection area once she was certain she'd removed the vast majority of the fluid and bring the sealed container beneath her scanner for examination and study.

Kazuya Oda and Royland listened to Dagger's and Cloak's tale, to the human man, the name Luminas intrigued him. But to Roy that name brought him pain, due to the nature of its citizens Roy was robbed of a life with both parents. The little lion then took out his blade holding it horizontally, looking at his own reflection in it. It took him a couple of seconds to reply to dagger. "I see, I am sorry to hear that dagger. My previous life was filled with conflict and combat, I fought in order to protect the entire world and I don't have many regrets, but I understand how tough it is to be surrounded by combat. I also know how cruel and incensitive the people of Luminas can be" Royland said as he felt like that at some level, he could connect with Dagger.
Kazuya however couldn't possibly understand either of the two, so he decided to remain silent regarding that situation. He only spoke when it came to the doctor's skill became the topic of conversation. "Speaking of that I am quite impressed with Ms Cross, for a human to not only understand digimon anatomy but reaching a higher level and being able to treat them, is quite the feat."
"Oh that is impressive indeed, she is amazing. And oh about that, to be honest with you we got here to follow a trail of a criminal organization. They are hard to follow and well hidden, and sadly we did not find anything about them. But we did hear something about an interesting professor and we decided to see how he is like, and I gotta say his stories are interesting. And then we heard about his conditions and we called you guys."
Back to the professor who managed to withstand through all of the pain without flinching even if he felt like doing that, but thankfully everything seemed to have been over. The Agumon then decided to ask and see what went on. "Ok is it over now doctor Cross ? You seem to be confused, you can use this place to run your test if you want, or we can go to my lab but its really cluttered, I apologize for how much that place can be in advance." The Agumon said in a light hearted fashion, with a soft smile on his face.
