Episode 17 " The Bird and the Snake "

Synopsis: Last time, we went to Africa, and more precisely, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly known as Zaire), where Yolei was located. She and Hawkmon were going to the river to fish for breakfast when they ran into Raremon. He then chased them, until they ran into a familiar face, Sora, and Biyomon. Sora took Yolei to the base to get cleaned up, after which some DarkTyrannomon invaded. Yolei went out there to fight them, and got Hawkmon to net digivolve!!! Say hello to Airdramon!!!

It was another restless night for Sora, as she tossed and turned in the sheets, and blankets hugging her body. The moon glowed outside, as predators stalked their prey into the night. Beads of sweat formed on Sora's forehead, as she couldn't find a way to fall asleep. Needless to say, she was worried. She then looked over to her left, for there beside her, was her digimon partner. Biyomon just chirped peacefully (chirping would be the equivalent to snoring), and Sora just smiled at her. And with those thoughts, Sora finally fell into her memories…

***FLASHBACK BEGINS***

Sora was getting ready for the digidestind party. She looked at her mirror, adjusting a hair clip. She was wearing a short-sleeved black shirt and a white skirt with some heals. She brushed her hair a couple of times, and then smiled when she was satisfied. Biyomon then walked into the room.

"Are you getting ready for another date with Matt?" Biyomon asked, looking up towards her human partner. Sora turned around, and faced her digimon partner.

"Why would you say that Biyomon?"

"Because, you're making yourself look beautiful Sora," Biyomon answered. Sora smiled as she bent down and ruffled Biyomon's head feathers.

"You know what Biyo? You look beautiful as well. And to answer your question, I am going with him, but not on a date," Sora replied. That left Biyomon puzzled.

"Then what will you two do then?" Biyomon asked again.

"We, along with you and Gabumon, and with T.K, and Cody, and their digimon, are all going to Tai's apartment. He's having a party to celebrate the one year defeat of Kimeramon and of Ken joining the group," Sora answered. She then stood back up.

"Oh, alright then," Biyomon said. The doorbell then rang.

"Sora honey, can you get the doorbell?" Mrs. Takenouchi asked.

"Sure thing Mom! I'll be home around 11!!!" Sora hollered, as she and Biyomon advanced toward the door.

"You better be, or I'm going to kick you and Biyomon's hide when you get back!!!" Mrs. Takenouchi replied in a joking tone. Sora looked back toward her mother and just rolled her eyes. She then turned her attenion back towards the door as she opened it, to reveal the one and only, Yamato "Matt" Ishida of the Teenage Wolves, not to mention his little brother, Cody, and their digimon. Matt produced a fake smile as he leaned in to give Sora a quick kiss.

"So, are you ready to go Sora?" Matt asked, trying to sound enthusiastic. Sora noticed, and made a mental note to ask him later at the party, when they were alone.

"As ready as you six are. Let's go," Sora replied, as she and Biyomon emerged from the apartment and into the hallway. Sora then closed the door, and the eight slowly made their way toward Tai's apartment…

After about twenty minutes, the eight finally made their way toward Tai's apartment door. Matt then knocked on the door. Sora and the others heard noises on the other side, and then slowly but surely, the knob turned until the door opened up, revealing Tai, with Agumon by his side. Tai produced a fake smile towards the group, especially toward Sora. Sora smiled back, and looked into Tai's eyes. Her heart was telling her that he was anything but happy.

Oh Tai, are you still depressed? I'm sorry that it didn't end up the way you wanted. But, my heart belongs to someone else, Sora thought, as then looked down, so Tai wouldn't know that she looked at him. He then stood aside with Agumon and let the others inside, before closing the door. The party then began.

Sora and Biyomon separated from each other, so they could both talk to their friends, human and digimon alike. Sora went over to talk with Mimi, who had flown in from America, who had just gotten in after Izzy and Joe. She seemed pretty tired. So, Sora advanced towards her best friend.

"Mimi!!!" Sora hollered. Mimi was drinking a cup of fruit punch, but turned her head and smiled when she saw Sora walking toward her.

"Sora!!!" The two friends hugged each other, as Mimi put her cup of punch down on the table. The two then released and got into a conversation.

"So Sora, how has things been since the defeat of MaloMyotismon?" Mimi asked.

"Things have been fine. Except that Tai is still depressed, and so is Matt for some reason. Other than that, things are still same old same old. T.K. and Davis are still fighting over Kari's attention, Izzy is still into computers, Joe is still pursuing his medical career, etc. So, how have you been Mimi?" Sora asked.

"Well, I've been missing you guys a lot. I was so glad when Kari called and asked if I could come over for this party, because I was getting pretty homesick. Well, remember Michael? He's pursuing an acting career like his father, and has starred in some ameteur movies, building up his credentials. Other than that, everything's fine as well," Mimi answered. Sora smiled. She then looked around the room, and her eyes caught upon the eyes of her lover, Matt. He still seemed depressed.

"Well Mimi, it's been nice talking to you. When you go back to America, I'll be more than sure to e-mail you with the D-Terminal. As of right now, I think my boyfriend needs my help," Sora said. Mimi nodded, looking over to where Matt was. He looked sullen, like the worst thing in the world has happened to him.

"I understand Sora. I'll talk to you later then," Mimi stated. Sora nodded, as she left Mimi's presence. She walked over towards Matt. The boy, who seemed to be in space, came to as his eyes looked up and caught Sora's.

"Hey Yamato-kun. Wanna dance?" Sora asked, extending a hand. A smile just appeared on Matt's face, as he stretched out his hand. Their hands intertwined, and the two made their way towards the dance floor. They then started to dance. But, Matt didn't seem as energetic as he usually was on the dance floor.

"Matt, honey, what's wrong? You seem, I don't know, depressed," Sora inquired, looking upon her boyfriend, up and down. Matt sighed tiredly as he looked upon his girlfriend.

"Sora, do you think I'm a good boyfriend? Or that I'm a good brother?" Matt asked out of the blue. Sora hummed questingly. Why was Matt asking these questions? Of course he was a good boyfriend and a good brother. There must be something really bothering him. Sora then decided to answer him.

"Why are you so concerned Matt? You should relax, it's like not like you're going somewhere else anytime soon," Sora replied, smiling at Matt. He smiled back at her.

"I know Sora, it's just that…well…I have some bad news. You see, tomorrow evening, the band and I will leave on tour for Asia. It will be our first, and I don't know what might happen. I mean, you won't have me to comfort you when bad things happen to you, and T.K. won't have anyone to talk to about trying to tell Kari how he feels. It's just that I feel I'll be letting everyone down by going," Matt explained, frowning after he finished. He just stopped dancing altogether, looking down on Sora. Sora felt his eyes on her and looked up on him.

"You won't be letting everyone down Matt, I promise you. Besides, T.K. and I could always talk to you over the phone or when you e-mail us using the D-Terminals right?" Sora asked.

"Right, you're right Sora. When did I ever deserve a girl like you?" Matt asked, smiling on his beloved.

"Since your voice caught my heart," Sora answered, before leaning up to kiss her boyfriend passionately. Matt then stopped being depressed, and the two had a really good time. Well, until T.K. told them to go outside. Everyone then walked to the balcony, and when Sora looked up into the sky, what she saw shocked her. There was a huge cloud with a green digital rift, and digimon were emerging into the Real World!!! It looked like there was never going to be a complete peace between the Real and Digital World anytime soon.

And then, in a moment, destruction occurred. Fireballs formed from immense power emerged from the rift, and rained down upon Odaiba, destroying everything in its path and creating huge shockwaves, ripping the apartment complex apart and everything with it. The digidestind, along with their digimon, were lifted into the air, and tried to hang onto one another, but with no success. Tears formed in Sora's eyes as she lost her hold on Matt.

"MATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!"

"SORRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

And slowly but surely, the dream ended…

***FLASHBACK ENDS***

"Sora, Sora!!!" Biyomon exclaimed as she shook her partner awake. Sora slowly came to as she opened her eyes. She then looked around to see where she was, and then looked at Biyomon.

"Oh, hi Biyomon. I'm sorry that I startled you," Sora said, concerned for her digimon partner. She frowned at Biyomon.

"It's okay Sora. Please don't be concerned for me. I'm fine. I woke you up because it looked like you were having a nightmare," Biyomon explained. Sora nodded, understanding what Biyomon was thinking. After all, that dream was horrible.

"I did Biyomon. Arigato for snapping me back to reality," Sora replied.

"Your welcome Sora. Come on, we better get Yolei and Hawkmon, or we'll be late for work!" Biyomon exclaimed. Sora nodded, and Biyomon jumped off of the bed. Sora slowly rose from the bed, and got out. She then made the bed. She then went into the bathroom, and closed the door behind her.

About twenty minutes later, Sora emerged from the bathroom, clean, and fully awake. She then took off her bathrobe and put on some clothes for the day, her underwear, a grey t-shirt with green pants and black boots. She then put on a green jacket, and also put on a green beret. She then went to the mirror and brushed her hair and teeth. Sora and Biyomon then left the room, locking the door behind them with Sora's key. Sora and Biyomon walked down the hall, until they came to room 435. She then knocked on the door.

"Just a minute!!!" a voice from inside exclaimed. A minute or two later, the door opened, to reveal a tired Yolei with Hawkmon by her side. Yolei was clothed, and ready to go.

"Whoa Yolei, did you get enough sleep last night?" Sora asked, seeing the bags under Yolei's eyes.

"Uh no, not really. I was so excited that Hawkmon net digivolved that I couldn't sleep," Yolei replied. Sora nodded.

"Well come on, let's go get something to eat for breakfast, shall we?" Sora asked. Hawkmon and Yolei smiled, and nodded. The group then left the vicinity of the hall to emerge into the kitchen, to eat their first meal of the day…

Meanwhile, in the savanna of Africa, there was the Congo River. And in a connecting stream, there was a black person. He was part of an Indian tribe, the Yoruba (that tribe does exist). He had a spear in hand, as the sun glistened in the stream, the water cascading across a dam of rocks. The Indian thrusted his spear downward, having the end contact within the body of a now dead fish. Blood emerged from the wound, before it mixed with its surroundings, transforming the water into a blood red color. The Indian then made his way out the creek, and as he did, some bushes nearby rustled. He jerked his spear back, ready to throw at whatever was hidden. Whatever was making the sound then emerged. The Indian lowered his deadly weapon.

"Oh, it's just you Betamon," the Indian replied, as he looked upon his digimon partner (yes, even primitive humans became digidestind. Well, some of them anyway…).

"What, did you think I was something else? Come on Taiba, you know me better than that," Betamon replied.

"Yes, I do, and I'm sorry for accusing you of being another creature. Now, will you please help me? I'm trying to catch breakfast," Taiba asked. Betamon nodded, and jumped into the stream. Just when the two were about to go on about their task, the earth rumbled, making Taiba and Betamon's stance unstable. The stream moved with incredible force, now making its way toward the Indian and his digimon. Taiba and Betamon then became covered in it, and the two drowned. They slowly started to drift away, until something wrapped its scales around the two. And slowly, it slithered away…

"So Sora, what will we be doing today?" Yolei asked, as she munched a blueberry muffin. She ate it scrupulously, and Sora just gave Yolei a weird look. She then shook her head out of that look.

"Um, we'll be scouting the area. I help monitor the protection of an Indian tribe nearby, the Yoruba. Since the Digimon Overlord's destruction, that tribe is almost extinct," Sora replied, as she took some corn flakes into her mouth with a spoon. Biyomon and Hawkmon were just eating some cornseed (well, they are birds, and let's just keep it at that, shall we?). Finally, a few minutes later, the two finished eating.

"Well, that breakfast was great," Yolei replied, stretching her limbs. Sora smiled at her.

"I'm glad you liked it Yolei. Now, if you and Hawkmon will follow me and Biyomon, we'll get out of here," Sora instructed. Yolei nodded, and the four proceeded towards the back of the base, back into the main hall. They turned right, and emerged into another room. Within that room, were several cars. Sora got into a hummer, and Yolei got into the passenger's side, along with Hawkmon.

"Buckle up, you two, for this will be a bumpy ride," Sora said. Yolei and Hawkmon fastened their seat belts, along with Sora and Biyomon. Sora then turned the key, and the engine roared to life. Sora got out a little remote, and pointed it toward the wall across from them. It opened up, revealing a road going up toward the surface of Africa.

"Okay, here we go!!!" Sora pressed on the gas as she maneuvered around other vehicles, before proceeding onto the dirt road. Yolei and Hawkmon just layed back, relaxing as Sora was steering the vehicle, with the wind blowing in their faces. About twenty minutes later, Sora drove off of the dirt road, and into the jungle. After driving for about ten minutes, she stopped the jeep. Yolei and Hawkmon woke up from their nap.

"Did you enjoy that nap?" Sora asked. Yolei and Hawkmon yawned.

"Yep, that was perfecto!!! But why did we stop here?" Yolei asked, looking at her surroundings. In this area, there was a big empty space, where the grass of the savannah did not touch. There were about ten or twenty huts in the area, and in the center, was a huge hut.

"Just to talk to a good friend of mine. You see Yolei, when we were separated, I ended up near this area. This tribe, the Yoruba, saved me and nursed me and Biyomon back to health," Sora replied.

"Yeah, and they had good food too!!!" Biyomon exclaimed out of the blue. Sora just patted her partner's head.

"Silly bird. Come on guys, let's go talk to the tribe elders," Sora said, jumping out of the jeep. Hawkmon, Biyomon and Yolei followed her, proceeding towards the huge hut in the center. At the edifice, Sora knocked, and backed up. The door was then pulled up, revealing darkness.

"Is it okay to go in there? It looks scary in there," Yolei replied, shrinking behind Sora's shoulder. Sora just chuckled.

"Of course it's okay to go in Yolei. Don't worry, this tribe isn't that bad," Sora answered. The four then walked inside. Inside the hut, there were some tables. In the center of the hut, was a huge circle drawn from the dirt. There were about seven tribesmen, one reciting a spiritual chant. Three were viewing him, and the other two were by the exit of the hut, standing still holding a spear each. And the seventh tribesmen was sitting in a chair. He had a crown adorned atop his head, which glistened, even in the darkness. He wore a gold and silver necklace, with a red tarp between covering his privates, as so were the other tribesmen. He was also adorned with golden sandals. Sora and Biyomon approached with caution to the chief tribesman.

"Good Morning, Chief Yuwatha," Sora said, with her and Biyomon bowing down before the chief. Yolei and Hawkmon followed, bowing their heads as well towards the leader of the Yoruba.

"Good Morning to you, Sora Takenouchi. Tell me, is there anything you need?" Yuwatha asked. For a black person, he had unusally light blue eyes, as blue as the sky on a clear sunny day.

"No sir, Chief Yuwatha, I just wanted to see one of your tribesmen. The warrior Taiba," Sora answered. At the sound of the name, Yuwatha sighed sadly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to him sir?" Biyomon asked. Yuwatha looked down towards the pink bird.

"Yes Biyomon, something happened to him. Earlier this morning, he and his digimon, Betamon, left to get themselves breakfast. But, they've never returned. I am worried, for Taiba is the head of my army, and if he and Betamon have deceased, then my tribe would be in a very bad position…" Yuwatha trailed off. Sora and Biyomon nodded, sad to hear this.

"We're sorry sir. With your permission, me, along with some old friends of mine, we could go find him for you," Sora asked. Yuwatha, who had his face zoned out, in some fabulous distant world, snapped out of trance.

"Huh? Oh yes, you, and your friends, may go and look for him. But, I advise you to be careful. You do know of the legends in the jungle recently, have you?" Yuwatha implied.

"What legends?" Yolei asked, her and Hawkmon getting scared of the thought.

"There is a legend that in the deep jungle, there is a creature who has been snactching humans and digimon alike, and has been devouring them since. I've heard that this creature does not work for the African Omega around here," Yuwatha calmly replied. Yolei and Hawkmon clinged, visualing a dark creature with menacing eyes in their minds. Sora and Biyomon looked over to them, and stared at them menacingly.

"QUIT IT!!! WHY DON'T YOU TWO JUST CALM DOWN AND STOP GETTING SCARED YOU BIG BABIES!!!" Sora exclaimed from out of the blue. Yolei and Hawkmon just shook their heads in fear, before running out of the hut. Sora then turned her attenion back towards Yuwatha.

"Sorry for the inconvience sir. I shall go looking for Taiba. Let's go Biyomon," Sora said, with the two bowing towards Yuwatha one last time, before leaving the hut, and emerging back into the warm air of the Dem. Republic of the Congo. Yolei and Hawkmon were already fastened in the jeep, ready to go. Sora chuckled again, before having her and Biyomon strap themselves in the jeep. Before Sora turned in the ignition, she looked to her left at Yolei.

"Yolei, I'm sorry for yelling at you and Hawkmon earlier. But you two need to get a grip, okay?" Sora asked.

"Apology accepted. But Sora, did you believe anything that Chief Yuwatha said back in there?" Yolei asked, as Sora turned the ignition, bringing the jeep to life. Sora then turned the jeep, until driving back the way they came.

"Not really Yolei. As serious as Yuwatha is most of the time, he likes to play around every now and then," Sora replied. Yolei mouthed an 'Oh', as the jeep was making its way toward the forest. But, for some reason, the jeep started to slow down. "What? Oh great, we're out of gas," Sora said, as the jeep finally came to a halt. The two digidestind, along with their digimon, had ended up near a creek. Looking at the creek, it made Yolei and Hawkmon very thirsty.

"Hey Sora, I'm going to go down to the creek with Hawkmon," Yolei said, looking back towards Sora. Sora nodded.

"Alright, but don't drink the water. It's probably polluted," Sora replied.

"I know, I know. I'm not THAT stupid," Yolei remarked. Her and Hawkmon then made their way towards the creek. Stopping near its side, Yolei stared down into it, and saw her and Hawkmon's reflection. Hawkmon then looked towards his digimon partner.

"Yolei, why did you tell Sora that we were coming here?" Hawkmon asked.

"What, you didn't want to come down here?" Yolei asked, changing her glance to her digimon partner.

"No, it's not that. But next time, can you please ask me first before going anywhere?" Hawkmon asked again.

"Fine, sure, whatever you want. It's fine with me," Yolei answered, turning her head back toward the creek. Yolei peered down even deeper into it, and then saw something that scared her. And whatever it was, it had red, menacing eyes.

"Dahhhhhh!!!!!!!! Hawkmon!!! I see something in the water!!!" Yolei exclaimed, pointing a finger down towards the water. Hawkmon looked down, and with his hawk-like vision, saw nothing that Yolei was describing.

"Yolei, you must be hallucinating. You know that the heat can induce a mirage," Hawkmon replied, using his intelligence. Yolei then calmed down, drooping her shoulders. She sighed tiredly.

"You're right Hawkmon. After all, it is very hot here," Yolei said, feeling sweat pour down her forehead. She had a handkerchef with her, and took it out of her pocket. She was about to wipe her forehead, when both her and Hawkmon heard a rustling in the bushes.

"Huh?" Hawkmon and Yolei both turned around in unison, looking toward some bushes nearby. There was nothing there.

"I think the heat is both getting to us now Hawkmon," Yolei inquired. Hawkmon nodded.

"I agree," Hawkmon said. Yolei then smiled.

"Well, I think we should be heading back now, or Sora and Biyomon will get impatient," Yolei said. The two were about to leave, as something behind was advancing towards them, quietly. It's eyes glowed with an evil tinge of red, and then, it wrapped itself around Yolei and Hawkmon!

"What the? Hawkmon! Try to attack!!!" Yolei shouted into the air. Hawkmon struggled, but to no use. The monster, or whatever the creature was, was too powerful for them.

"I'm sorry Yolei, but I can't attack. He has me," Hawkmon answered. Yolei then finally started to do something useful: Crying for help.

"HELP!!!! SORA, BIYOMON, HELP US!!!!!!!" Yolei yelled. About forty feet away, Sora was daydreaming about Matt. As soon as she heard Yolei's voice, she came out of her trance.

"Sora, Yolei and Hawkmon need us!!!" Biyomon exclaimed, jumping up and down. Sora nodded.

"Let's go then Biyo," Sora replied. The two got up from the jeep, leaving it behind as they ran toward the creek. They looked around, but there was no sign of Hawkmon or Yolei for that matter. Sora sighed in frustration.

"Don't give up Sora. Look below you," Biyomon instructed, pointing her feathers down toward the ground. Sora tilted her head, and saw prints. They were wide, but not very deep. Which meant one thing. It had to be a snake digimon. And about the only one that Sora knew was,

"Seadramon."

"Seadramon's a Champion, and you're a Rookie. And since it has Yolei and Hawkmon, he can't net digivolve," Sora reasoned. Biyomon looked up, back towards her partner.

"Sora, just because Seadramon is a stronger digimon then me or Hawkmon at the moment, doesn't mean that we can't defeat him. You have to believe," Biyomon replied, looking at Sora, dead center. Sora glanced over at Biyomon, and stared into her blue eyes for a second. They were the same blue as Matt's. Oh, how she missed him.

"You're right Biyomon, you're right. Let's go after them," Sora said. Biyomon nodded, and the two followed the trail that Seadramon left behind. Half an hour later, they came up to a huge cliff, which they were at the bottom of. But, Sora and Biyomon halted, when they saw Seadramon. They crept low to the ground, to see what he was doing.

"Let go of me you dirty snake!!!" Yolei exclaimed, struggling to get free of the serpent digimon. He just grinned evily. He then flung Yolei and Hawkmon both to the ground. And as he did, Yolei dropped her D-3, and it collided to the ground along with her.

"Ah, what's this? A digivice. Won't the master be so pleased," Seadramon said, slithering towards it. Yolei and Hawkmon were too injured to get up. Sora and Biyomon had to do something. The two then decided to take action, getting up from their hiding places.

"Biyomon, attack!!!" Sora hollered. Biyomon nodded, as she flapped her wings and flew into the air.

"Right. Spiral Twister!!!" Biyomon released her green tornado attack, having it soar through the air, and hit Seadramon in the side, knocking him off-balance. He fell to the side. Sora and Biyomon then advanced towards Yolei and Hawkmon, and Biyomon landed near him.

"Hawkmon, Yolei, are you two alright?" Sora asked, looking down at the two of them. She bent down and picked up Yolei's D-3, and clipped it to her side, beside her digivice.

"Yeah, I'm alright. But why do you have my digivice?" Yolei asked.

"Because, you're injured, and I don't want Seadramon to get it," Sora explained. Yolei then tried to get up, but couldn't, because she had sprained both of her ankles. She sunk back into the ground, but Sora picked her up.

"Don't worry Yolei, we'll get you out of here," Sora said. Yolei hoped Sora was right, because Seadramon had finally gotten up, and was making his way back towards them. Sora and Biyomon turned their attention back towards him.

"Give me your digivice, human, or you and your little pets shall die," Seadramon threatened. Sora, Yolei, Hawkmon, and Biyomon gave the snake digimon a menacing look.

"Never. Spiral Twister!!!" Biyomon shouted, releasing her attack again upon him. This time though, Seadramon was prepared.

"Ice Blast!!!" Seadramon opened his mouth, creating a sphere of cool energy, before releasing it as a blast. It collided with Biyomon's attack, cancelling it out, and having spare power to advance towards her! And it seemed no way that Biyomon could escape in time! Sora frowned, as tears formed in her eyes. She didn't want to lose Biyomon. Not here, not now.

"NO! BIYOMON!!!" Sora exclaimed. After Sora screamed, something miraculous happened. A hole in the digital rift in the sky appeared, and a red beam made its way through it. It traveled through the air, before colliding with Sora's digivice. The digivice transformed into a D-3 with a red lens, and with the Crest of Love engraved in yellow under the LCD screen. The screen then glowed, and shot out a beam towards Biyomon. Sora closed her eyes, not knowing if the beam from her D-3 would hit Biyomon before Seadramon's attack would. The two beams competed with each other, until both of them collided with Biyomon. Fog appeared, and Seadramon grinned.

"Well well well, it looks like she won't live after all. Too bad," Seadramon said. He started making his way toward Sora, Yolei and Hawkmon once again. But then, he heard a voice.

"Not too fast, Seadramon." He looked over, and saw Biyomon. She was still alive!!! Red light was radiating from her body. Sora smiled in relief. She then looked menacingly at Seadramon.

"Biyomon, digivolve!!!" Sora exclaimed. Biyomon nodded, as she absorbed the energy. She then glowed with a white light, and a new transformation began.

"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"

Biyomon's body ripped, as new binary code entered her body. She expanded to the height of Birdramon, but instead of her feathers being a fiery red-orange, they were black. A yellow beak emerged, as well as her blue eyes. The transformation was then complete.

"Saberdramon!!!"

"Saberdramon, Champion level digimon. Her Black Saber and Black Talon attacks will leave you in a world of pain!!!" Sora described from the Digimon analyzer. Saberdramon took to the sky, flapping her wings in the air. Seadramon looked up in awe, but then shook his head.

"So what if you digivolved? That won't help you. Ice Blast!!!" Seadramon released his blast again, but this time around, Saberdramon dodged it to the right. She then dove in towards Seadramon.

"In this case Seadramon, it will. Black Talon!!!" Saberdramon exclaimed. Her talons glew with darkness, before she used them to strike Seadramon, slashing his body. Seadramon screamed in agony as he was being injured. Saberdramon then backed off.

"That was a…nice attack…But..it's nothing…compared to…mine…Ice Blast!!!" Seadramon exclaimed. He fired off his blast again, and again, Saberdramon dodged it, but this time to the left. She then dove in for the kill.

"Seadramon, when will you ever learn to give in? Good will always defeat evil. And in this case as earlier, your time is up. Black Saber!!!" Saberdramon exclaimed. Her talons combined into two black swords, and reeled back. She then dove in, and the two sabers slashed forward, cutting through Seadramon's body.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Seadramon screamed, as he finally collapsed into meaningless data. It floated into the air, until it disentigrated into nothingness. Saberdramon landed upon the ground, and dedigivolved back into Biyomon. Sora, Yolei, and Hawkmon smiled, running up to her.

"You were great Biyomon. I would hug you, but I'm holding Yolei right now," Sora replied, looking down upon her partner. Biyomon understood.

"Yes, you were magnificent," Hawkmon agreed. Biyomon blushed.

"Really? You think so?" Biyomon asked.

"I know so," Hawkmon answered. Just then, the four then started to hear a sound. It sounded like someone was yelling.

"Help! Can somebody please help us? Please?" Sora heard it from her right, and followed the sound of the person's voice, along with the digimon, of course. She finally came along to a cliff, where, pinned to the wall, were Taiba and Betamon. In all of the excitement, they forgot to yell for help, until now.

"Taiba, Betamon!!! Don't worry, we'll get you down. Biyomon, can you net digivolve again?" Sora asked, looking down at her digimon partner. Biyomon looked up at her.

"I'll try Sora," Biyomon answered. She then closed her eyes, and focused on her energy inside. She then felt a glow around her, and decided to release it. She then transformed.

"Biyomon net digivolve to Saberdramon!!!"

"Dark Talon!!!" Saberdramon took out the stakes that were holding Taiba and Betamon in, and they fell upon her back, gripping onto her. She then descended back to the ground, looking at Sora and everyone else.

"Need a lift?"

It was the end of the day, as Sora, Yolei, Hawkmon and Biyomon were at Taiba and Betamon's home. The four were standing opposite of Taiba and Betamon, and the two smiled towards them.

"Sora, Biyomon, thank you for saving me and Betamon from Seadramon," Taiba replied. Sora smiled.

"You're welcome. And if it wasn't for Yolei and Hawkmon being captured, we would of never finded you all in the first place," Sora replied. Taiba and Betamon nodded.

"Well, we better get going Sora. Won't the Digi-Resistance be worried about us?" Yolei asked.

"I called them while we were flying back to Taiba's home. Don't worry about it, Yolei," Sora answered. She then proceeded towards Taiba, and hugged him.

"Well Taiba, I guess I'll see you around," Sora replied, releasing her hold on Taiba. He simply smiled at her, and then Sora, along with Yolei, Hawkmon, and Biyomon, left Taiba and Betamon. The two looked at their retreating backs, and smiled. Betamon looked up at his partner.

"Taiba, do you think we'll ever be as strong as Sora and Biyomon?" Betamon asked. Taiba looked back down towards his companion.

"Maybe Betamon, maybe," Taiba replied. The sun then setted behind them, slowly turning into night…

Meanwhile, at the African Omega's headquarters, the African people, along with their digimon, were braking their backs, building their master a new temple. The African Omega grinned as he was watching them, smiling, knowing of how much authority he had. That was, until one of his henchmen came.

"Master, master!!! I have some terrible news!!!" it was a Chumon, as he ran toward the African Omega's right side. The African Omega then looked down towards him.

"What's wrong Chumon?" the African Omega asked.

"Master, Lieutenant Seadramon has been killed by a renegade digimon," Chumon replied. The African Omega looked at Chumon in anger.

"WHAT? HOW CAN THIS BE? NONE OF THE DIGIMON AROUND HERE ARE AT THE CHAMPION LEVEL! HOW COULD HE BE DEFEATED?!!!!" the African Omega shouted in anger. Chumon cringed back in fear.

"He was defeated by one of the Chosen Digimon. The Digimon of Love, I think," Chumon replied, slowly. The African Omega gave it time to sink in, before he calmed down. A new plan then emerged within his mind.

"Well, I want you to find that digimon, where it is, and their digimon partner. And I want you to destroy them and take its master's digivice, you got it?" the African Omega commanded, looking down at Chumon. The little pink rat digimon saluted him.

"Yes sir! I'll get on it right away," Chumon said. He then retreated from the African Omega, and the Omega turned his attention back towards his slaves.

So there is a rebellious digimon in this sector…Well, it will not be rebellious for long… It will die, along with its human partner, and then I will become more powerful than ever!!! The African Omega thought evily, laughing into the night, as the moon was shining bright…

So, will the African Omega's minions find Biyomon and the others? And who is this African Omega, he seems pretty uptight. Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!

Well, that's the end of Episode 17. Sorry it took me so long to write it. It's just that I was preoccupied. I'm always preoccupied with something. Well, 'till later, ja ne!!!
