Episode 16 " The Perilous Jungle "

Synopsis: Well guys, this is Malcolm Yuy. Yeah, I know it has been a while since the last time I posted a chapter. I decided it was time to take a break, to rest up before the next semester of school. Now, I'm refreshed, and ready to go. And, I got one problem. I made a mistake announcing which continent we would be going to next. It is not Austrailia. It is Africa. Sorry. And now, we resume. Roll tape!!!

I hate…

I hate this place…

This place is a jungle…

It's so hard to survive, I don't think I'll live long enough…

Will I ever see the others again? Will I? I'm starting to think not…

But, I should never lose hope, or else I will lose all my sanity…

It was a hot, blistering night in the Congo Jungle, in the country of the Dem. Republic of Congo. Animals that had survived were either hunting for food or sleeping. One of these animals, was a human, and right now, she was sleeping. Clutched to her hands as she was asleep, was her D-3 with a red lens. And beside her was a strange bird-like creature, which was a digimon. It was none other than Miyako "Yolei" Inoue, and Hawkmon. The two tossed and turned in their sleep.

For three years now, Yolei has lived off of what the jungle had for her. She had to build a shelter, and figure out how to hunt food. The jungle life was not always easy, since there were predators that went after you, or your food. For instance, one time Yolei and Hawkmon killed an antelope for dinner. As they were dragging it to their home, they left a trail of blood behind, and a lioness had followed them. They were almost gonners if Hawkmon didn't fight back.

Yolei hated living in the jungle, and she missed her family and friends dearly, as all the other Chosen did. Her, along with the others, always wondered, if their parents were alive, and if the other digidestind had survived. Some of them had found another, while others had found none. And unluckily, Yolei hadn't stumbled upon another digidestind.

Yolei mumbled in her sleep, as she finally awoke to the land of Africa. She looked around in her little hut, and then glanced beside her. She smiled upon her digimon partner, as he was smiling in his sleep. Yolei had often wondered what digimon thought about in their sleep, but she never asked. She yawned and stretched her limbs as he searched around for her glasses, and sighed when her hands had grasped them. Putting them on, her vision became clear. She unclipped her D-3 from her small capris, which had holes all over. She was also wearing a buttoned up golf shirt (in other words, a suit shirt), which was also too short. At her feet, she wore small sandals.

Yolei examined her D-3, and pressed buttons until she found the clock. The clock glowed, telling her it was 4:00 A.M. It was still about two hours until the sun would rise, and a new day would greet her. So, Yolei just layed back down in the grass, and nodded off back to sleep. She then reminisced about the day the Digimon Overlord had come…

***FLASHBACK BEGINS***

Yolei smiled as she entered the apartment of her best female friend, Kari Kamiya. She greeted Kari as she put Hawkmon down, so he run off and talk to the other digimon. The two then started to gossip.

"So Kari, have you chosen who you're going to date yet, or are you still thinking about it?" Yolei asked, looking down at the younger girl. Kari thought for a moment, and then looked back at Yolei.

"I still don't know Yolei. After all, they both are great guys. Davis is obnoxious, but that's one of the qualities I like about him. He also isn't afraid to show his feelings for me, and he's very outgoing. And then, there's T.K. He and I have been best friends for three years, and it seems like he would do anything for me. He's also outgoing, and we have a lot in common. I don't want to hurt either of them," Kari replied sadly. Yolei nodded, understanding what Kari meant. She meant that if she picked one of them, she knew that she would hurt the other. And not only that, but she just wasn't sure, and also not ready to get into a releationship.

"I understand Kari. It's great that you think about their feelings first before trying to hurt them. Me, I would just be real blunt and pick one of them straight out, and not care much how the other person was hurt," Yolei said. She smiled upon Kari, and Kari smiled back.

"Thanks Yolei. But, there's only one guy you're focused on." Kari turned her head as she looked at the boy who Yolei's heart was fixated on. He had a cup of punch, and his blue eyes sparkled as he was talking to his best friend, Davis Motimoya. It was none other than Ken Ithijouchi. Yolei then looked at Kari, and wandered what she was looking at. She turned her head in that direction, and stared into Ken's eyes. Yolei's heart accelerated, and her cheeks became rose colored as she looked upon the Chosen of Kindness. For a while now, Yolei had been infatuated with the genius. The two had become closer after the confrontation with MaloMyotismon, but Yolei wasn't brave enough to ask him out. Yolei sighed nervously. For a moment, Ken's eyes strayed away from Davis' face, as he felt someone look upon him. He scanned the room, until he came upon the eyes of Yolei. Yolei looked away, and blushed in embarrassment. Ken simply smiled, pretending he was listening to what Davis had to say.

"So Yolei, why don't you go up to him and ask him to dance? I have feeling that he won't say no," Kari asked. Yolei turned her attenion back towards Kari.

"I don't know Kari. I'm an okay dancer, but I don't know if Ken would accept me. With his looks, and brains, he could have any other girl he wanted," Yolei replied depressingly.

"Well Yolei, it isn't like none of our other classmates, or his as well are here. In fact, I'm sure none of the other female Chosen, such as myself, are not infatuated with him. I'm sure he isn't infatuated with any of the other female Chosen at all either. If he had to pick one of the female Chosen to be with, it would probably be you," Kari reasoned. Yolei thought about that for a moment, and smiled. Kari could be right. So, why not ask Ken to dance?

"You make a pretty good point there Kari. I think I will ask him to dance." Yolei started to walk off, as Kari smiled upon her.

"You go Yolei!!!" Kari exclaimed. Yolei blushed as she made her way across the room, towards Davis and Ken. Davis and Ken saw Yolei coming this way, so they ended their conversation quickly.

"Well Ken, it's been nice talking to you. I think I'm going to go over and ask Kari to dance," Davis said. Ken simply nodded, as Davis walked away, passing Yolei by.

"Whatever floats your boat, Davis." Ken took a sip of his cup, and his eyes looked up. There, standing in front of him, was Yolei. He blushed, hoping Yolei didn't notice, as he put his cup down upon a table nearby. "So Yolei, is there anything I can do for you?" Ken asked, making eye contact with the girl. He nervously smiled, as his heart started to accelerate along with Yolei's. The two were nervous toward each other, but tried to hide it. Yolei gulped nervously, before finally deciding to ask him.

"Ken, um, I was wondering….*sigh*…will you dance with me?" Yolei asked. Ken looked at her questingly, until his ears finally picked the sound of Daft Punk music traveling around the apartment. He blushed again, embarrassed. He gulped nervously as well, before finally giving his answer.

"Um…su..sure. I think that will be wonderful," Ken answered, extending a hand. Yolei smiled at him as she took it, and the two hands intertwined. The two Chosen finally made their way to the dance floor, as they finally started to dance. Yolei made eye contact with Ken, and the two stared at each other for a while. He's so dreamy, Yolei thought, as she gave Ken a dreamy smile. Ken smiled back at her. He then opened his mouth to speak.

"So Yolei, how are you enjoying the party?" Ken asked. Yolei snapped out of her daydream and looked at Ken, and then pretended to think for a moment, before giving her answer.

"I'm really enjoying the party. And to tell you the truth, Ken, the best part of it so far is being in your arms. I know I might not be totally beautiful or perfect to you, and that's okay. It's just that I…I…I feel attracted…to..you," Yolei replied, turning her head in another direction, blushing. Ken saw this, and knowing she felt the same way for him, made him happy ever more. He then took his left hand, which was situated on the right side of Yolei's waist, and cupped her chin. He then lifted it up, and as Yolei felt this, made her come into contact with Ken's eyes.

"To me Miyako, I think you're absolutely beautiful, and that you're perfect to me. Since the days after I stopped being the Digimon Emperor, you have wrapped me in your loving arms, and helped me become who I am today. Without you, my Kindness wouldn't have been revived. The truth of the matter is, I love you too, Miyako Inoue," Ken responded, using Yolei's real name. She was shocked beyond belief. Her, Miyako "Yolei" Inoue, was loved by Sotaru "Ken" Ithijouchi? This had to be a dream. She looked back into his eyes, and the two slowly leaned in. Their faces were inches apart, until…

"Hey guys, you should come see this," T.K. said, catching everyone's attenion. Yolei sighed as she and Ken released themselves from each other, and walked outside to emerge onto the balcony. They then looked up into the sky as they saw the digital rift, with digimon emerging from it. Yolei and the others became frightened. And then, without warning, it came. Fireballs rained from the sky, as they collided with the ground, creating huge shockwaves, destroying everything in its wake. Yolei clutched to Hawkmon, as she was being separated from her friends.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!KEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!!!" Yolei screamed, as she was finally swept away, maybe never to be seen again…

***FLASHBACK ENDS***

Yolei jolted up, coming back to reality. Beads of sweat ran down her forehead as they fell from her face and to the ground. Yolei took her left arm and wiped her forehead, and then looked down and saw Hawkmon, still sleeping. "Umm, rice pastries…" Hawkmon mumbled. Yolei chuckled, and then stopped. She missed the good old days, when she could joke with her digimon and vice-versa. He then checked her D-3 again. It announced 7:00 A.M.

"Hawkmon, it's time to get up," Yolei replied, as she shook the little bird digimon. Slowly but surely, Hawkmon came to as his light blue eyes opened. He then jumped up, and looked around the hut, before focusing his eyes on Yolei.

"Good Morning Yolei. Did you slummber well?" Hawkmon asked.

"I slept okay Hawkmon. How about you?" Yolei replied.

"I slept well," Hawkmon answered. Yolei smiled.

"Good then," Yolei replied. The two then started to leave, as the sun's rays made their way into the shelter. They emerged into the jungle, as they made their way toward the Congo River. It was bright day, as the sun shone through the digital rift, which was embedded into the clouds. As the two finally approached the river, Yolei's eyes bulged. Because, in the surroundings, were human carcasses lying around, with blood spilling out. Hawkmon and Yolei shivered.

"Um, maybe we should go back to the hut Hawkmon," Yolei suggested.

"I think that's a good idea Yolei," Hawkmon agreed. As the two turned around, they came face-to-face with a huge digimon. Yolei and Hawkmon both became frightened.

"Boo," the digimon whispered. Yolei and Hawkmon screamed, as they started to run away, running past the digimon. It was no use, as it started to follow them. Yolei accessed the Digimon Analyzer on her D-3. It then analyzed the digimon.

"Raremon, Champion Level. This digimon uses an attack that sticks to their victim," the Digimon Analyzer responded.

"Great, just great, a Raremon," Yolei quickly replied, as she and Hawkmon ran through the trees, with the Raremon coming after them. Yolei and Hawkmon then turned right, and hid behind a tree. The Raremon that was chasing them stopped.

"Where are those two? If I brought them to master, then he promised that he would give me the fractal code to digivolve," Raremon said to himself. Yolei and Hawkmon just listened in silence. Raremon looked around for a few more seconds, before deciding to move on. Right as he started to move, Yolei opened her mouth, and sighed in relief. Which was a BIG mistake. If she would have keeped her lips shut for about five minutes, she would have been safe. But, that was only an if. Raremon shifted his body, and started moving toward Yolei's direction. He rounded the corner of the tree, and then touched Yolei's skin. Yolei screamed in terror.

"Got you!!!" Raremon exclaimed. Yolei jumped like a frightened cat. She grabbed Hawkmon's right wing and started running as fast as she could. Raremon then trailed after her, and accelerated his speed. Somehow or rather, he got around the trees and landed right in front of Yolei, cutting her off. The Chosen of Love and Sincerity didn't know what to do.

"Great, just great. I'll go the other way thank you," Yolei replied, turning around to run the other way. Right as she was about to run, Raremon expanded his mucky chest, where it wrapped itself around Yolei's body. Yolei released Hawkmon as she screamed in helplessness.

"I got you now human, and there is nothing you can do about it. Your digimon is weak and pathetic, he won't do a thing to damage me, since he is a Rookie, and I'm a Champion," Raremon replied. Yolei just growled at Raremon.

"What did you say about me? I did not precisely liked that comment you said about me, and don't abuse my partner. Feather Strike!!!" Hawkmon twirled his head and released the feather atop his head, having it curve as it flew through the air. It struck Raremon, but, to no success. It simply made its way back to Hawkmon's head. Raremon just laughed.

"See what I mean? You are just a fly to me. And now, to finish you off," Raremon replied, looking down upon Hawkmon, his shadow loomed over the bird-digimon. Yolei and Hawkmon started to have fear take control in their minds. It seemed like it would be over for Hawkmon. Yolei then frowned, and tears started to make their way toward her face. And then out of nowhere, a voice was heard.

"Not so fast Raremon!!! Spiral Twister!!!" A little green tornado blast came out of nowhere, and collided with Raremon's eyes, blinding the digimon temporarily. He accidentially dropped Yolei out of his mucky grasp, and she fell upon the ground, dirt getting all over her clothes. But that did not matter, for she and Hawkmon was alive. She grabbed Hawkmon, and then looked up. Standing there was a Biyomon, with her partner. She was dressed up in a light green dress shirt and a dark green skirt, with long black socks and black boots. Upon her head was a green beret.

"Come on, let's go!!!" the other girl exclaimed. Yolei and Hawkmon waisted no time as the girl and Biyomon started to run away, with Yolei and Hawkmon following them. They made their way through the forest until they came upon the open savannah. In the middle of it was a huge tree. Yolei, Hawkmon, the girl and her Biyomon then stopped running. The four breathed heavily, until the girl with the beret began to talk.

"So, how did you get that Raremon after you?" the girl asked. Yolei breathed heavily, and then looked up at the girl.

"I…was…doing…nothing…He…was…just…behind…me," Yolei replied between breaths. She was bent forward, so then she slowly rocketed back, having herself stand up straight, and facing the girl totally. Now that she had a good look at her, she looked familiar, and her Biyomon too. The girl was also examinating her and Hawkmon.

"Huh, that's strange. This Hawkmon is yours? I'm only asking because I used to know someone who use to have a Hawkmon as a digimon partner," the girl asked.

"Yes, he is mine. What was the name of the person who had one?" Yolei asked back. Now that she noticed, the girl had red hair. Could it be? Well, my answer will be coming in a minute… Yolei thought.

"It was a girl. Now that I think about it, you look just like her. Her name was Miyako Inoue, but me, along with my other friends called her-"

"Yolei," Yolei cut the girl off. The girl just stared at her. And then, a smile came upon her face. Yolei knew that smile from anywhere. It had to be her.

"Sora!!!" Yolei then wrapped her arms around the eighteen year old Sora Takenouchi. Sora returned the embrace, and cryed tears of joy, happy that she had finally found another surviving Chosen. Biyomon and Hawkmon simply had a handshake. The girls then separated from their embrace.

"So Sora, how come I haven't seen you around here? I been in this area for the past three years," Yolei asked.

"Well Yolei, to tell you the truth, after the Digimon Overlord's shockwave knocked us out of Odaiba, and I landed here, some indian tribes have helped me. They nursed me back to health, and I thanked them by getting rid of some of the rebel digimon around here that has been damaging their way of life along with Biyomon. We then wondered through the Sahara, until we finally made our way here, where we bumped into some of the African Digi-Destined. We talked, and they asked for me to stay to them.

I did not object, so, Biyomon and I followed them to their base of operations. They have a whole organization in this area, the center of Africa. It's called the Digital Resistance, and it is located all over the world! And the good thing is, their headquarters is right…here," Sora answered, pointing a finger at the ground. Yolei just looked weirdly at Sora. Yolei was sure the girl lost her mind.

"Are you sure you know what you're talking about Sora? Or have you lost your mind?" Yolei asked, looking at Hawkmon. The male digimon just shrugged.

"Maybe she's telling the truth Yolei," Hawkmon said. Sora smiled at the little bird digimon.

"Maybe I am. And the only way to get inside, is through this tree." Sora walked to a tree nearby, and turned the bark over like a bookpage. She then pressed a little red button, and re-covered the secret button with the bark. Yolei and Hawkmon then felt a shock from the ground, and then Yolei noticed something she hadn't before. There was a huge circle in the ground. It opened up, and a circular elevator emerged from it. The door opened. Yolei and Hawkmon just stood there, astounded. Sora just giggled.

"Come on Yolei, before that Raremon catches up to us," Sora replied. Yolei and Hawkmon shook their heads, and followed the red head and her digimon companign into the elevator. The door closed, and the elevator descended back into the ground, and the ceiling closed. Yolei looked around, as it descended a couple of feet, before finally stopping. When it opened the door, Sora and Biyomon walked out. Yolei hesitated for a moment, before having her and Hawkmon step out. Yolei looked around, and couldn't believe her eyes. There were people everywhere! Black people walked around in suits, going from one place to another. Yolei didn't know that such a place existed.

"Yolei, welcome to the headquarters of the African Digi-Resistance. Here, we come up of with ways of trying to destroy the African Omega, along of with stopping bio-merging digimon from the Net. See that huge plasma screen?" Sora pointed to a huge computer screen in the center of the base. Yolei nodded.

"Well, that is where we track the digimon who try to get through. Sometimes, we're successful in keeping them out. But other times, they succeed. We then have to chase after them, or else they'll destroy life in this world nearby. Most of them are servants of the Digimon Overlord, so we have to end up destroying them," Sora simply stated. Yolei slowly nodded, as she was absorbing the information. Sora's nose then picked up on something, and she turned her head. Something smelt bad. And it revealed to be Yolei and Hawkmon!!!

"Man Yolei, you stink!!! I don't mean it in I don't like you, I mean I-"

"I know what you mean Sora. Do you have any bathrooms with useable showers nearby?" Yolei asked, stopping Sora in mid-sentence. Sora nodded.

"In fact, I'll get you some items that you'll need. I'll also ask the boss if there are any rooms availiable while you hit the showers. Come on, follow me," Sora replied, as she made her way past office people who were working at desks with their digimon. Yolei and Hawkmon fired Sora and Biyomon, as they walked into a hall. Sora turned left, and went into a storage room. She then grabbed the essentials for Yolei: a shaving razor (legs), a black long-sleeved shirt, black socks, boots, a black skirt, underwear (bra and all), a towel, etc… She then directed Yolei to the bathroom, which was in the room across.

"Oh yeah, after you're done with everything, just throw your old clothes away, alright?" Sora asked. Yolei nodded. Sora then smiled.

"Okay, then see you later Yolei! Come on Biyomon," Sora replied, as the Chosen of Love and her digimon partner left Yolei and Hawkmon behind, going back toward the office. Yolei and Hawkmon just looked at each other and shrugged, before going inside the bathroom.

The hot water felt good against Yolei's skin. The girl then lathered some shampoo before applying it to her hair and washing it. Oh, how exquisite. It's been so long since I've had a shower, Yolei thought. Hawkmon cleaned himself as well, and Yolei finished cleaning herself off. She then turned the water off, as she put on a bathrobe Sora gave her earlier, and tied the sash around her waist. She then shaved her legs, before putting on her underwear, etc. She then brushed her teeth along with Hawkmon and washed her glasses clean, before emerging out of the bathroom, filling much cleaner than before.

As she emerged, she saw Sora standing there, already waiting for her, along with Biyomon.

"So Yolei, how did that feel?" Sora asked.

"That felt great Sora, thanks a million. I just wish I could do something with my hair, it's too long," Yolei answered. Yolei had to apply water and have her hair combed back so her bangs wouldn't cover her eyes.

"Come on, let's go to the cosmetology room," Sora said. Again, Yolei followed her through the hall until she ended up at the last room at the right. Sora directed her in, and there were six mirrors with all kind of supplies for the hair stylists, which there were six. One of the hair stylists smiled at Yolei as they directed her to sit down. They then asked what kind of cut Yolei wanted, and she answered. After about two hours, Yolei came back out, tired, but feeling much better with much of the weight of her hair gone. Meanwhile, Sora had gone to the kitchen to get some coffee, which was right across the cosmetologist room. Yolei saw Sora sitting at a table, sipping some coffee, and went in to join her.

"What time is it Sora? Oh yeah, I forgot, my D-3 has the time." Yolei pushed one of the buttons on her D-3 a couple of times, before the clock appeared. 3:58 P.M, it announced.

"Tired? Usually, you wouldn't have asked me the time," Sora stated.

"Yeah, I am. So, did you get that room reserved for me like you said you would?" Yolei asked. Sora simply nodded, before taking another sip of her coffee. Just then, an alarm rang throughout the base.

"WARNING, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT. ALL PERSONEL REPORT TO THE CENTRAL OFFICE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTONS," the computer replied. Sora put her coffee cup down, as she and Biyomon started to leave. Yolei and Hawkmon followed them, until they emerged back in the central office. On the plasma screen, there was a huge pack of renegade DarkTyrannomon running through the area, destroying everything in its wake.

"What is this Sora?" Yolei asked. Hawkmon just looked at Biyomon.

"This Yolei, is an alert. The DarkTyrannomon are in this area. They must be the work of the African Omega," Sora reasoned. Yolei didn't like the sound of that. African men emerged in uniforms, as they marched with their Rookie level digimon past Yolei and the other workers, towards the elevator to go to battle. Yolei wanted to go too.

"Come on Hawkmon, let's help them," Yolei replied. Her and Hawkmon were about to leave, when something stopped them. Sora was gripping on Yolei's shoulders, while Biyomon was doing the same to Hawkmon.

"Don't do it, you'll only get yourself hurt," Biyomon replied.

"Biyomon's right, you will. Besides, what are we a use for anyway? The soldiers will be able to handle this, they always do," Sora said. She then turned her attention back towards the plasma screen. Yolei and Hawkmon looked back, and saw the gruelling battle on the screen. It was like watching one of those army movies, except it was real. The soldiers were firing bazookas, riding around in hummers, and having their digimon release their attacks, but to no use. The DarkTyrannomon had overpowered them, stepping all over them. Blood oozed from the dead humans, and their digimon died, as the DarkTyrannomon absorbed their fractal code, becoming stronger. Yolei couldn't help but watch, and now she was determined to go out there and fight. She took her D-3 from her skirt and had it poised.

"I'm going out there now Sora, and there's nothing you can do about it! Sure, Hawkmon and I might not have a chance, but I'm not going to give up this war without a fight," Yolei reasoned. Sora listened to her friend's words, and then nodded.

"Then we're coming with you. Right Biyomon?" Sora asked, looking down at her digimon partner. Biyomon looked back up.

"Right." Yolei and Hawkmon then led the way to the elevator, with Sora and Biyomon following them all the way. They ascended until they emerged onto the savannah. Yolei and Hawkmon, along with Sora and Biyomon, stepped out of the elevator, as it disappeared into the ground. The battle was mostly over, but the ten DarkTyrannomon were picking on the remaining soldiers and their digimon. Yolei and Hawkmon, along with Sora and Biyomon, made their way toward them.

"Hey, stop that!!!" Yolei exclaimed. The DarkTyrannomon were about to step on the hummers which some the digimon and soldiers were, when they heard the girl's voice. They all turned around to face her.

"And what are you going to do about it, little girl? There are ten of us, and you only have two, pint-sized digimon. They wouldn't stand a chance against us," the leader of the DarkTyrannomon bragged.

"You want to bet on that? Feather Strike!!!" Hawkmon exclaimed, releasing his feather into the air again. It soared through the air, and made its way toward one of the DarkTyrannomon's head. The way it curved had it create a scar on one of the DarkTyrannomon's snout, having the huge digimon cringe in pain, as the feather boomeranged back to Hawkmon's forehead.

"Oh, and it's not over yet! Spiral Twister!!!" Biyomon concentrated on all the energy inside of her, and released in one huge green spiraling tornado. It emerged from her beak, as it collided with the ten DarkTyrannomon, catching them off-guard. They dug their feet into the ground, so the attack wouldn't make them slide back that far. They then regained their ground, and looked menacingly upon Biyomon and Hawkmon. They then looked upon their partners.

"That was almost a critical hit. But, as I said before, you two little digimon are still weak. And you humans, when will you tame your digimon better? Don't they know that they shouldn't pick on others stronger than them? Well, it won't matter now. Say goodbye…" the leader of the DarkTyrannomon trailed off, as the ten opened their mouths, concentrating heat from the outside. Slowly but surely, fireballs started to form. Yolei and the others started to cower in fear.

Great, just great, we're going to get killed by DarkTyrannomon. Well, if I had one regret, I wish I would of tried to fight in this war earlier, Yolei thought, as she closed her eyes. Her glasses shimmered, as something happened. Her D-3 illuminated, and a dark red light with a lime outline emerged from the sky, making its way through the digital barrier. It then collided with Yolei's D-3, and the Crest of Love and Sincerity appeared in a yellow engraving under the LCD screen. The two crests where combined as one. The DarkTyrannomon stopped concentrating on their attacks, too shocked to realize what had just happened. Yolei opened her eyes, as the light faded, and looked upon her D-3, which was grasped in her hands. She saw the Crest of Love and Sincerity combined glow.

"What? This looks like a crest symbol," Yolei replied, examinating the symbol. She then looked at Hawkmon. The LCD screen of the D-3 then illuminated with a white glow.

"Yolei, use the power and have Hawkmon digivolve!!!" Sora exclaimed. Yolei nodded.

"You don't have to tell me twice Sora! Hawkmon, digivolve!!!" Yolei aimed her Crest D-3 towards Hawkmon. The light transformed into a beam, and emerged from the LCD screen. It soared through the air, as it then collided with Hawkmon's body. Sora, Biyomon, Yolei, and the DarkTyrannomon stood in amazement as a new transformation began.

"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"

Hawkmon's body ripped, as binary code entered his body. The code then had Hawkmon grow to an enormous size. His body stretched out into a snake-like shape, and red-yellow wings emerged from the side. His head transformed into a huge skull, with two horns curved in the back. His blue eyes transformed into red eyes, and the transformation was complete.

"Airdramon!!!"

Yolei and the others stood there, amazed, as Airdramon was glowing in a red-lime light. She didn't know that Hawkmon could digivolve differently, but one thing was sure, she was happy he could digivolve at all. The DarkTyrannomon then regained their composure.

"So what, your digimon digivolved? Big whoop. Let's destroy him, NOW!!!" the leader of the DarkTyrannomon shouted. The others nodded as again they started concentrating on their attack. Airdramon growled at them, as his glow faded into nothingness.

"Big whoop? I'll give you a big whoop. Spinning Needle!!!" Airdramon flexed his wings back, and hundreds of needles flew out of them. They collided with the DarkTyrannomon, making them fall onto their backs. They shook off the attack, and got back up.

"Nice attack. But, you didn't destroy us. That, will be your downfall. Dark Fireball!!!" the DarkTyrannomon finally released their attacks upon Airdramon.

"Airdramon!!!" Yolei shouted. She was worried for her digimon partner. But, not to worry, Airdramon flew up higher in the sky, evading the attacks, having them explode into smoke. He just chuckled.

"Is that all you can do DarkTyrannomon? Then you are the ones that are pathetic. You, and your master should never have tried to take this world or the Digital World. And now, you will pay for it. TORNADO!!!" Airdramon exclaimed. He opened his mouth, absorbed some air, and then shrieked with incredible force. A huge tornado of immense power emerged from his mouth, and in one single motion, it scooped up the DarkTyrannomon.

"What, how can this happen? We're ten Champion level digimon, while you're only one. It doesn't make sense," the leader of the group of the DarkTyrannomon reasoned.

"It's because you are evil that this has happened. Good always reins before evil," Airdramon answered. And in one final scream, the ten DarkTyrannomon transformed into meaningless data, before fading away into nothingness. Airdramon then flew back towards the ground, before dedigivolving back into Hawkmon. Yolei ran up and gave her digimon partner a hug.

"That was great Hawkmon!!!" Yolei exclaimed.

"Thanks for the praise Yolei, but, you're choking me," Hawkmon replied. Yolei loosened up on the hug, and picked Hawkmon up.

"Oh, sorry Hawkmon," Yolei replied. She clipped her Crest D-3 back to her skirt, and then looked upon Sora and Biyomon. The two smiled.

"Finally, there is hope after all. I have a proposition for you, Yolei. Will you join me and the Digi-Resistance in fighting the African Omega?" Sora asked, extending a hand. Yolei looked down upon it in question.

"Of course I will Sora. I won't stop until the Digimon Overlord is defeated. And, you're the only person I know out here," Yolei answered happily. She extended her hand, and shook Sora's. The two then made their way back toward the base…

Meanwhile, at the base of the African Omega, the Omega had seen all of this. He groaned in shadows, and looked upon the leaving Yolei and Sora, along with their digimon.

"Hmm, that digimon has potential. But, I want to grow stronger. I want that power!!!" the Omega banged his hand upon his throne. Some way or another, he was going to have that power, and noone was going to stop him…

Will the African Omega obtain Hawkmon's power? And what will happen to Sora and Yolei, along with their digimon? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!

Well, that is the end of Episode 16. Sorry it took me so long, I just had writer's block for one part of the story, until an idea had hit me recently. And until the next chapter, ja ne!!!
