I got 30 reviews!!! Thank you everyone who reviewed. crosstrigger333, Anthony, The Angel of Love-Kuroi, Peregrin Took, etc. You all are what gives me the energy to write what I write, and without your encouraging reviews, I wouldn't find the strength to continue. So, again, thank you, thank you, thank you! And now, on with the fic…

It was a steamy night in the Dem. Republic of the Congo. In the headquarters of the African Digi-Resistance, Africans were working day in and day out to track renegade digimon and of digimon working for the African Omega. Many were exhausted, along with their digimon, as they tiredly took shifts. There were especially two digidestind who were sleeping at this time, along with their digimon. It was Sora and Yolei. And there was one digidestind who had a particular problem of trying to sleep.

It was none other than Yolei Inoue.

Yolei was tossing and turning in bed, living a bad dream, otherwise known as a nightmare. Hawkmon, her digimon companion, was also asleep, well, for the moment anyway. That was until Yolei's right leg hit him in the side. Hawkmon woke up from the sensation. He looked around for a moment to see where he was, and then looked upon his human partner. He blinked a couple of times, before advancing toward the girl, trying to wake her up.

"Yolei, Yolei!!! Wake up!!!" Hawkmon shook the girl from the back, but she wouldn't stop tossing and turning. She would not, or could not, wake up until the dream was over. Hawkmon stopped, and stared at her, wondering what was going on inside her head…

***YOLEI'S DREAM***

Yolei was in a dark void. No light could travel through, and it seemed so depressing. Yolei was just floating around. Am I ever going to get out? Yolei thought to herself, as she floated throughout the warp. Suddenly, the darkness faded. Yolei found herself in front of some kind of construction ground, and from the looks of it, she was in the Digital World. Digimon of all kinds were chained and shackled, using pick-axes and shovels to break rocks. She went over to one of the digimon, a SnowAgumon, who was trying to bust open a rock with a pick-ax.

"Excuse me, SnowAgumon, but why are you and the other digimon shackled and chained?" Yolei asked. She knew about the Omega Seven, but she didn't know that the digimon working for the Omega against their will were slaves.

"Because digidestind, we belong to the Digimon Overlord. And right now…he wants us…to erect another…temple for him…" SnowAgumon huffed as he was using his strength to break the rock. With enough force, he finally crumbled it into hundreds of pieces, flying everywhere into the air before colliding back towards the ground. SnowAgumon dropped his pick-ax, and sweated vigorously from the work.

"But, why didn't you do anything about it?" Yolei asked again.

"Humans, they ask too many questions. We did in the beginning, but in the end most of us would just get destroyed, and-"

"Digimon number 645, get back to work!" A voice hollered from atop a nearby hill, cutting the SnowAgumon off from finishing his sentence. SnowAgumon looked up, and Yolei followed his glance. Atop the hill, was a human. He was shrouded in darkness, masking his figure.

"What if he doesn't want to? What are you going to do then?" Yolei asked, stepping in front of the small white Vaccine digimon. The workmaster grinned evilly.

"Then, I'm just going to have to put his punishment on you my dear," the workmaster answered. He pulled out a whip, and extended it forward. It collided with Yolei's right arm, making a sharp mark.

"Ow!!!" Yolei hollered in pain. The workmaster just smiled. He extended the whip forward again, and again, and again, lashing out on the Chosen of Love and Sincerity. With one last hit, the workmaster put his whip aside. Yolei was severely bruised and battered, with cuts all over her body. Blood was draining out of her cheeks, and the girl stood there, feeling weak with hatred for that person. How dare someone so cruel abuse digimon!!!

"Oh, and it isn't over yet. Take her away," the workmaster said, snapping his fingers. He then disappeared. As Yolei took one more glance at the workmaster, she couldn't help but felt like she remembered him from somewhere. But, from behind her, emerged two Flymon, who grabbed her by the arms, taking her away, stinging her with their needles as they went. When she couldn't take it anymore, she moaned one final scream…

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

***YOLEI'S DREAM ENDS***

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Yolei jolted up in bed, with her head buckling back. She then looked around nervously, before slowly bringing her head down forward, inhaling deep breaths. To her right was a concerned Hawkmon.

"Yolei, are you alright my dear?" Hawkmon asked, looking concerned for his human partner. Yolei turned her head towards him, and looked him square in the eye.

"It…was…horrible…Hawkmon…Slave..digimon..a human..workmaster.." Yolei trailed off, as the dream came back to her within her mind, the images repeating themselves. She visualized being hit by the workmaster's whip repeatedly, screaming over and over again, until she couldn't take anymore. She then came back to reality, and shook her head. She felt to the left of the bed, where there was a nightstand. Upon it was a lamp, alarm clock, and her glasses. Yolei found them, and slowly put them on. Her vision then cleared, and she took her Crest D-3, looking upon its LCD screen.

7:32 A.M.

Well, for Yolei, this would seem a pretty good time to get ready for the day ahead. So, she got out of bed, and went towards the bathroom, closing the door behind her as she went in, starting the shower. She took off her clothes, and went in. She first took some shampoo, and lathered her hair, before scrubbing it with her fingers. The dream then came back to her. That stupid dream! Why won't it ever leave my mind? That human workmaster, that cruel, inhumane workmaster, he seemed so familiar… Yolei's thoughts trailed off as a vision of the workmaster appeared in her mind, shrouded in shadow. Why did she have that dream? It didn't seem unusual, it felt real, like she was actually in the Digital World, feeling the heat, feeling the sensation of pain upon her skin. She came back to reality, checking her skin to see if she had any bruises or scars. She had none.

About twenty minutes later, Yolei stepped out of the shower in a bathrobe, brushing her hair. She walked toward her dresser drawer, and pulled out her clothes for the day, a camouflage army t-shirt, a black shirt, and some black army boots with a green army jacket and green beret. She then shooed Hawkmon away, as she took off the bathrobe, and dressed herself. When finished, she let Hawkmon back in, and the two left for the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, was Sora and Biyomon, already sitting at a table. This time, Sora was having a cappuccino. She was also reading a report. Her eyes glanced up from the paper, and smiled as they rested upon the entering Yolei and Hawkmon. The two sat down opposite of Sora and Biyomon.

"Ohayo Sora, Biyomon," Yolei replied, yawning and stretching her limbs.

"Good Morning Yolei, Hawkmon. Tired?" Sora asked.

"I am not, but Yolei is. She had a terrible's night sleep," Hawkmon answered.

"How bad was it?" Biyomon asked.

"Well, it was really bad, I guess. I had a nightmare that I was floating in a void, and then I suddenly ended up in the Digital World. I saw digimon with chains and pick-axes, being slaves. I asked one of them, a SnowAgumon, why he was chained and shackled. He said it was because he worked for the Digimon Overlord. Right when we were in the middle of our conversation, a workmaster told the digimon to go back to work. I defended the SnowAgumon, and I got lashed by the workmaster's whip. The pain felt real, and what was even more strange, was that I thought that the workmaster was familiar, except I couldn't tell. And then it ended," Yolei replied. The other three around her sat there, amazed. Sora then spoke.

"So Yolei, who you think this 'workmaster' might be?"

"I don't know, but my probable choice would be-"

"Sora Takenouchi, Yolei Inoue?" Yolei was cutoff from her sentence. She , Sora, Biyomon and Hawkmon turned their heads to see someone standing at their table. It was a black man. He wore the Digi-Resistance uniform, which was basically a white military uniform with the medals on his side. He was a captain. He had a black beard, and he wore a captain's white hat with the black bill. And by his side, was a digimon. It was a DarkTentomon, hovering in midair.

"Yes, I would be Sora Takenouchi. And the person opposite of me would be Yolei Inoue. Is there something you need to discuss with us, sir?" Sora asked, remembering to use her manners, especially in front of a captain.

"Yes ma'am, there is. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Captain Randall Harris. I come from South Africa, and this is my digimon partner and companion, DarkTentomon," Captain Harris replied with a somewhat British accent. He took off his hat and bowed towards Sora and Yolei, and DarkTentomon saluted Biyomon and Hawkmon.

"Um, Captain Harris, sir, why did you bow before us? No offense or anything," Yolei asked.

"Because Miss Inoue, I know of what you and Ms. Takenouchi can do. I know you can make your digimon digivolve," Captain Harris explained. DarkTentomon just nodded.

"Oh, yeah, that. So, is there something you night us for Captain?" Yolei asked.

"Yes there is. You see, I have a company of men ready to storm the African Omega's base of operations," Capt. Harris pulled out a detailed map of Africa, and put his finger on it, scanning the map until he came to South Africa. There, circled in pen, was an area, and labeled above it, was a saying. It said "Omega's base." "Which is right here," Harris replied, pointing to the circled area. Yolei and Sora looked at it, and then Sora looked closely at the area. It was near Cape Town. From what she heard, Cape Town was a very dangerous place, nowadays.

"But the proposed position of the base is near Cape Town. From what I heard, that city is a very dangerous place now," Sora said, feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry Miss Takenouchi, I have enough men and digimon alike to defend you, just in case there are too many scoundrels to fight off alone. Now this is what I propose. I propose we circle around Cape Town, and sneak up into the Omega's base. From there, we then find the Omega, and take him out," Capt. Harris proposed. Sora and Yolei were bewildered. It seemed like a good plan, but the two digidestind felt as if something was missing.

"Capt. Harris, I was wondering, can we take some of the soldiers here to help us, or just use them for backup or reinforcements, just in case, we don't have enough men to fight the Omega with?" Yolei asked. Capt. Harris smiled.

"Of course my dear, you may, if that is what you wish," Capt. Harris answered.

"Alright then, it seems like we have a plan in motion, I'll inform my superiors," Sora replied. She and Biyomon then got up from their seat, and left the kitchen go tell the other military power at the base of her plans. A few minutes later, the two returned, with Sora holding a walkie-talkie.

"Ready to go?" Yolei asked. Sora and nodded. Yolei and Hawkmon got up, and pushed in their chairs. The six then left the base, to go out into restricted territory…

It was a very hot, scorching day outside, as Yolei and the others rode in a hummer, along with six others following the hummer she was in. She had Hawkmon in her lap, who was asleep. Biyomon was in Sora's lap. She was asleep as well. Sora was to Yolei's left, toward the window seat, while Yolei was sitting in the middle, and one of Harris' soldiers was sitting to her right. Yolei turned her head towards Sora.

"Sora, may I ask a question?" Yolei asked. Sora turned her head from the window to look at Yolei.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure. What is it you want to ask?" Sora asked back.

"Well, I was just wondering, why is Cape Town such a dangerous place?" Yolei asked.

"Because, there is a Indian war going on in the town, between two tribes, the Hausi and the Iba. From what I've heard, they've used 'spells' to get their digimon to digivolve, and fight their battles for them," Sora answered. Yolei went through the information, absorbing it into her mind. But something did not seem right.

"But then why do they fight? I mean, what was it that started all of this violence?" Yolei asked again.

"Well, I don't know the answer to that question. You're going to have find out the answer on your own," Sora replied. She then turned her attention back towards the window. Yolei sighed, and then closed her eyes. She then heard Capt. Harris' voice.

"What the!!!" Harris hollered. Yolei, Hawkmon, and Biyomon opened their eyes and looked around.

In front of them, where a road used to be, the ground was in a huge crack, from an earthquake that happened some time ago. "Well, it's look like we have no other choice. We have to proceed to Cape Town. It's the only other way to get to the Omega's base," Harris said. He then put the hummer in reverse, turned the car to the right, straightened it out, put it back in D4 (for this episode, the hummer has automatic transmission), and then drove off the dirt road onto another one nearby that curved, with debris flying off of the wheels…

Meanwhile, in the skies above the two Chosen digidestind, there was a DarkBirdramon. She sneered as she looked upon the jeep. She soared through the air, and looked up ahead at the approaching town, which was about 400 miles ahead. Cape Town. This gave her the reason to smile even more.

"So, those two digidestind are going to Cape Town, are they? Good thing they're going to get killed when they get there. But, just to make things worse for them, I'll attack," the DarkBirdramon replied to herself. She then stopped flapping her wings, and dove towards the oncoming digidestind, who were way below her. They didn't know what was about to happen to them…

It had been hours now, and the digidestind had only made one-fourth of the way, or in laymen's terms, 100 miles. Basically almost everyone but the driver was asleep. The sun was starting to set, as the surrounding temperature started to drop. Yolei looked down at the sleeping Hawkmon, blowing a bubble in his sleep. She chuckled at him, as he was snoring. The bubble then popped, with the substance landing on Hawkmon's face. He woke up.

"Uh, what just collided with my face?" Hawkmon asked, blinking.

"It was spit, Hawkmon. When you were sleeping, you formed a bubble by breathing. And then, it just popped. It was actually quite hilarious," Yolei answered, about to giggle. Hawkmon glared at her.

"Hilarious my tail feathers. And I have one more question to propose my dear. Have we made it to Cape Town yet?" Hawkmon asked. Yolei frowned, and then shook her head. "Oh, well, I'm just going to go back to sleep then. Goodnight," Hawkmon replied, before falling back into a peaceful slummber. Yolei just smiled for a second before agreeing with what Hawkmon had said.

"I think I'm going to go to sleep too," Yolei said to herself. She yawned, before starting to close her eyes. Right as they were about to close, she felt something hit the back of the hummer, having it hover in the air, before getting off-balance and having its right side hit the ground, wheel first. The hummer tilted over, and Harris and the others fell out. The hummer then collided with the ground, upside down, with Harris and the others hitting the ground. They then got up and dusted themselves off.

"What was that?" Biyomon asked. She looked around, and the others did as well.

"I don't know what that was Biyo, but I sure didn't like it," Sora answered. As she looked around, Sora finally noticed something flying above in the sky. She squinted her eyes, and then they bulged at what they saw. Biyomon turned her attention toward Sora.

"Sora, what are you looking at?" Biyomon asked. Sora wouldn't answer. Yolei and Hawkmon then finally saw what Sora was seeing, as well as Harris and the others.

"Biyomon, look above yourself!!!" Hawkmon exclaimed. Biyomon looked above in question, and then saw what everyone was looking at. It was DarkBirdramon!!!

"Dark Meteor Wing!!!" DarkBirdramon exclaimed, flexing her wings back. Two huge fireballs emerged from them, and accelerated towards Biyomon and the others. They had to get out of the way, or else they would be hit.

"Everyone, get out of the way!!!" Biyomon exclaimed. Everyone came back to reality, as they ran away from the area. The two fireballs then collided with the ground, bringing up debris into the air, before having it hit the ground. It was now burnt. The others looked at it, and then Sora and Yolei looked up at DarkBirdramon. They growled at her, and then got out their Crest D-3s.

"Ready Biyomon?" Sora asked, looking back at her partner. Biyomon nodded.

"How about you Hawkmon?" Yolei asked. Hawkmon nodded as well. Sora and Yolei then turned and looked at each other.

"Then let's do this. Net Digivolve!!!" they both exclaimed. They aimed the LCD screen of their D-3's at the digimon, and two beams of light radiated out of them, colliding with the respective digimon. The transformation then began.

"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"

"Hawkmon net digivolve to-" Hawkmon's body ripped as binary code made its way into his body. His body expanded into a huge snake like state, with a skull head, and fiery colored wings emerged from the sides. His eyes changed from blue to red, and his transformation was complete.

"Airdramon!!!"

"Biyomon net digivolve to-" Biyomon's body also ripped as binary code made its way into her body. She expanded about the size of Birdramon, but her feathers became black. Her transformation was then complete.

"Saberdramon!!!"

The two new digivolved digimon were bathed in white light, looking towards DarkBirdramon. The light then faded away.

"Airdramon, get Sora and the others away from here. I'll take care of her," Saberdramon told Airdramon. Airdramon nodded. But, before he turned to fly to Sora and the others, he asked,

"But what about you Saberdramon?" Airdramon asked.

"I'll be fine. Now go!!!" Saberdramon hollered. Airdramon then flew down towards the ground, making his way toward Sora and the others. He then landed, and told them to hop on. They did so, and Airdramon then started to lift back in the air. Sora looked back at Saberdramon, as she started to fly towards DarkBirdramon. She then turned her attention back to Airdramon.

"Airdramon, how come Saberdramon isn't coming with us?" Sora asked.

"Saberdramon is going to distract DarkBirdramon to give us time to escape. She said she'll be fine," Airdramon replied, as flew toward the setting sun, with the digital rift swerving in the sky….

Meanwhile, Saberdramon was making her way towards DarkBirdramon. DarkBirdramon turned her head to have it collide with Saberdramon's talons. DarkBirdramon then started to fall towards the ground, and Saberdramon decided that it was time to attack.

"Black Saber!!!" Saberdramon dove as her talons transformed into sabers, and lunged for DarkBirdramon. Just when it seemed like Saberdramon was going to strike gold, DarkBirdramon evaded the strike, and lunged forward at Saberdramon, her talons colliding with Saberdramon's eyes, temporarily blinding her. DarkBirdramon grinned evilly, as she then decided to attack.

"Dark Meteor Wing!!!" Again, DarkBirdramon released her attack, as two black meteor fireballs made their way to Saberdramon. They collided with her body, causing smoke to appear. Saberdramon screamed in agony as she fell from the sky.

"Saberdramon!!!" Sora hollered in a worried tone. She was watching the battle from flying on Airdramon, as they were making away from the battle. Sora's eyes followed Saberdramon's body as she was falling toward the ground. Tears formed in her eyes, and finally, one made its way onto her cheek. She then felt a comforting hand on her right shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Sora," Yolei said, frowning at her friend. She felt sad as well, as in the past Sora and Biyomon would come over at the convience store to hang out. Airdramon frowned as well, and kept on flying toward the vanishing horizon. And in the distance, were a group of buildings huddled together. Yolei could only mutter two words as her eyes caught sight on them.

"Cape Town…"

So, the DigiDestind have finally made it to Cape Town!!! What will happen when they finally enter there? And what happened to Saberdramon, did she die? Find this all out and more next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!

Well, that's the end of Episode 18. Again, sorry it took me so long to put up. Hopefully the next episode will be written soon. 'Till the next episode, ja ne!!!
