Synopsis: Hey guys, this is Yolei. Last time, I was in my quarters, and I had some crazy nightmare about being in the Digital World and seeing a workmaster who was familiar… I then woke up and went to meet Sora. Before we went out, a man came up to us, named Capt. Harris, with his digimon, DarkTentomon. He proposed a plan for us to go surprise attack the African Omega, and we agreed to go with his plan. So, we left. We were then attacked by one of the African Omega's minons, DarkBirdramon. We had our digimon net digivolve, and Saberdramon fought while me and the others got on Airdramon and flew away. In the middle of the battle of Saberdramon vs. DarkBirdramon, the evil digimon got the upper hand!!! Sora was sad, and I tried to comfort her. And now, we're making our way to Cape Town…
"Cape Town…"
The horizon faded away, as day turned into night. Yolei and the others looked upon the shattered town, as they were making their way towards it. Sora was still in despair, crestfallen over losing her digimon partner and best friend. Yolei tried to cheer the other girl up.
"Maybe Saberdramon survived the fall. Don't give up hope Sora," Yolei said. Sora looked into Yolei's eyes, mirrored by her glasses.
"You think so?" Sora asked, tears stilling cascading down her rosy cheeks. Yolei smiled in a hopeful smile.
"I know so," Yolei answered. Sora smiled, and then wiped her tears.
"Arigato Yolei," Sora replied.
"You're welcome Sora," Yolei replied. Yolei then turned her attention back towards the approaching city. Airdramon then started to slowly descend toward the ground, until he safely landed and dedigivolved, dropping Sora, Capt. Harris, Yolei and DarkTentomon onto the ground with a "uumpf!!!" Yolei rubbed her butt as she and the others got up.
"Hawkmon, how come you didn't land in Cape Town? It's still about ten miles away," Yolei asked, in a slightly annoyed tone. Hawkmon whimpered.
"Well you see, my dear Yolei, I felt…so utterly exhausted," Hawkmon answered. Yolei did an anime style fall before getting back up.
"Well guys, I guess we'll have to camp here for the night," Sora said. Yolei and the others nodded. They then sat down, and started to slowly drift off to sleep…
Meanwhile, back where the battle ensued of DarkBirdramon against Saberdramon, Saberdramon was still falling from the sky. DarkBirdramon smiled at the falling dark bird, knowing that her opponent had no strength left in her.
"Saberdramon has no energy, and she'll die soon, so I'm going to leave. I did my job anyway," DarkBirdramon said to herself, before flying away from the scene, leaving Saberdramon to her fall.
Saberdramon felt the blood rushing to her head as she fell, the ground coming up toward her. I can't die, not now. Didn't you see how Sora looked back at you? She needs you. You have to survive. You have to survive!!! Saberdramon thought, as she accelerated towards the ground. She was about twenty feet away from colliding with the dirt now. With all the strength left in her body, Saberdramon spread her wings, allowing them to catch some wind, slowing her drop to the ground. About five minutes later, Saberdramon dropped simply onto the ground, exhausted.
I made it. I'm alive. I'm still here. Now, all I need, is rest… The tired Saberdramon thought. She collapsed, with all her energy leaving her. She reverted back to Biyomon, and as she fell to land of dreams, Biyomon did not notice someone coming up upon her, scooping her body up…
Morning came, as the sun arose to a new day. The heat slowly started to elevate in the land, giving warmth to some creatures, while making others hot. The rays of sunlight slowly made its way to the eyes of Yolei through her glasses, causing the girl to wake up. She then decided to wake everyone else up.
"HEY EVERYBODY, TIME TO GET UP!!!" Yolei exclaimed. This exclaimation awoke everyone else, scaring the pants off of them, or so to speak. Sora and Capt. Harris looked at Yolei awkwardly.
"Yolei, what was that for?" Sora asked, scratching the back of her head tiredly and yawning.
"I just wanted to wake everyone up," Yolei simply answered. Sora, Capt. Harris, Hawkmon and DarkTentomon fell down anime style. They then got back up.
"Well, you didn't have to wake us up like that," Hawkmon replied. Everyone else nodded.
"Sorry," Yolei stated. The others then got up and brushed themselves off.
"Well, according to the Crest D-3, Cape Town is only about ten miles away. So, Hawkmon, are you ready to fly again?" Yolei asked.
"Yes, I am ready to fly my dear," Hawkmon answered. Yolei smiled and pointed the LCD screen of her D-3 towards Hawkmon.
"Then what are we waiting for then? Net digivolve!!!" A dark red light emerged from the screen, and collided with Hawkmon's body. Hawkmon then glowed, and the transformation began…
"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"
"Hawkmon net digivolve to-" Hawkmon's body ripped as binary code made its way into his body, having him extend into an enormous size. His body became that of a snake, and wings emerged from the sides. His head became skull-like, with two skull horns emerging from the back. His transformation was then complete.
"Airdramon!!!"
"All aboard!!! We are now heading to Cape Town, so please fasten your seat belts please," Airdramon joked as Yolei and the others got onto him. When everyone was on, Airdramon flapped his wings a few times, and took to the sky. Little did he know, that something or someone was advancing towards him…
About five minutes later, Airdramon and the others were halfway through the trip. They only had about five miles to go until they reached Cape Town. But, as Yolei was sitting atop Airdramon, she got to thinking. Why would they have to go to Cape Town now? Couldn't they just fly over it altogether and storm the Omega's base of operations? It didn't make sense. She turned her attention back towards Capt. Harris.
"Capt. Harris, may I ask you a question?" Yolei asked. Harris was lost in thought, and looked up.
"Sure Yolei, you may," Capt. Harris answered.
"Well Capt. Harris, as I sat up here, I was wondering. Why do we have to stop in Cape Town? Why don't we just fly over it and pass it? Wouldn't that make much more sense?" Yolei inquired. Capt. Harris rubbed his chin, pretending to ponder over Yolei's words. When finished, he backed up to her, his eyes making eye contact with hers.
"It would Yolei, of course it would, only, as I said before, there are a lot of renegade digimon in that area. They may try to attack us if we fly over, which is the reason why we have to land. We can then maneuver around them, and-" Capt. Harris was about to finish his sentence, when, all of a sudden, something happened. As Capt. Harris cut off his sentence, a fireball emerged out of nowhere and collided with Airdramon's side. The collision was so rough that Yolei, Sora, Capt. Harris and DarkTentomon could hold on no longer. And so, they dropped from the sky, traveling towards the ground at 100 miles an hour, all heading towards different directions of Cape Town.
Meanwhile, the attacker of the digidestind looked down at the falling in humans in delight. It was none other than DarkBirdramon.
"Well, I completed my mission. Now it's time to go back to headquarters," DarkBirdramon replied. She then flew across Cape Town, and disappeared into the sky…
"Uuh, I don't feel so good…" was Yolei's response as she was slowly opening her eyes, her sight being blurred. She looked around, and saw a blurry red-white object in front of her.
"Yolei my dear, I saved your glasses. Here," Hawkmon replied as he extended his wing forward. Yolei smiled at the red-white object.
"Thanks Hawkmon," Yolei said, taking her glasses from Hawkmon and putting them on. Her vision then came into focus. She looked around, and saw some white people standing around her. They were talking this and that, but they then turned their attention towards the girl.
"Oh, so you're awake. Good. You must be wondering where you are and who we are. Well, you are in Cape Town, my dear. And my name is Wilson Gild, head of the Gild family," a man replied. Yolei looked up. The man who had just spoken wore a suit. He had long blond hair, which had a tint of gray in it. He had wrinkles on his cheeks and forehead, and he had blue eyes, sporting a pair of circular-rimmed glasses. There were four other people standing around him. Two other men, and two women.
"May I introduce the other members of my family. The one to my left," Wilson replied, pointing his finger towards the guy beside him, "Is my younger brother-in-law, Regald Head." Regald had sandy brown hair, long in the back and front, and he had shimmering green eyes. He was wearing a simple green t-shirt and brown khaki pants. Beside him was a young woman, with brown hair and red highlights. She was wearing a simple white long-sleeved shirt and a mini-jeans skirt with some tennis shoes.
"This is my sister, Regald's wife, Gloria. And the other woman in the green dress and gray hair is our mother, Mary." Yolei looked over to the old woman, who just waved her hand in Yolei's direction. Yolei simply waved back. She then looked at the last man, standing near Mary.
"And this is my brother Richard. He is the youngest in the family," Wilson replied. Richard simply smiled at Yolei. He looked like an adult version of T.K. "So my dear, what is your name, and what is that creature standing beside you? It looks like some weird type of bird," Wilson inquired. Yolei became offended for a moment, but shrugged it off. The last thing she wanted to do was to offend some people who may have saved her.
"My name? My name is Yolei Inoue. And this, this is a digimon. His name is Hawkmon. Digimon is short for digital monster. They come from another world, called the Digital World." Yolei then slowly got up to her feet, and dusted herself off. It took a minute for everyone to comprehend what the young girl had just said, and they all then nodded.
"May I ask another question, Mr. Gild, or Wilson-"
"Wilson, call me Wilson please."
"Well Wilson, if your family lives here, in Cape Town, wouldn't you have to go outside sometime to find food to survive on? I heard that in this town that there were very dangerous digimon running around," Yolei replied. Wilson shook his head, disbelieving Yolei's last sentence.
"Yolei my dear, in this town there are not any digimon, as you say, running around. But there is something dangerous going on. You see, my family and I are caught in a scuffle with another," Wilson replied. Yolei mouthed an 'oh' and looked down towards the ground. Then she looked back up towards Wilson.
"But why? Can't you just solve your differences and accept each other as friends?" Yolei asked.
"No, we can't. You see Yolei, it isn't as simple as you think. The head of the Bentley family, Timothy, had killed one of my family members in the past, so he or his family shall never be forgiven. He killed my darling little sister Amelia, who is Gloria's fraternal twin," Wilson answered, rubbing tears from his eyes. Yolei looked down towards the ground again.
"I'm sorry then Wilson, I didn't know-" Yolei was cut off, as an explosion happened outside. Wilson rummaged around the room for a minute before finding a gun.
"Come on Richard, Regald, it's time to face those bloody murderers. Gloria, Mother, Yolei, and Hawkmon, you stay down here, we'll deal with this." Wilson threw two more pistol guns towards Regald and Richard, who caught it. The men then left the room. Yolei and Hawkmon followed.
"Fat chance if Wilson thinks I'm going to stay down there. Hawkmon, go back down and protect Gloria and Mary, okay?" Yolei asked.
"But Yolei, what about you? You'll be endangering yourself," Hawkmon replied.
"I'll be fine, I promise. Now, go on, go on," Yolei shooed Hawkmon away. She then left the room and ascended up a flight of stairs before finally reaching the surface of the outside…
"Sora, Sora! It's me Capt. Harris! Please wake up!!!" Capt. Harris exclaimed, shaking the girl lightly. Slowly but surely, Sora's eyes opened up to the world. When they became focused, Sora looked around to see Capt. Harris, DarkTentomon, and about three other people around. She then clutched her head in pain.
"Ugh, my head hurts. Capt. Harris, where are we? And who are those people across from us?" Sora asked.
"We have fallen in Cape Town. And this is the Bentley family," Capt. Harris explained.
"Hello. My name is James," one of the Benleys replied. He had black hair, with some wrinkles indicating age. He wore a suit, with a grey jacket and matching grey pants. His eyes were brown.
"And my name is Gerald," one of the other three men said. Unlike his brother, Gerald had brown hair that was slicked back. He was younger, with black-circular-rimmed glasses. He was wearing a regular suit, with the black jacket and matching pants.
"And my name is Timothy. I am the head of this family, the father. My wife had departed from this world a few months ago, as the Gild family stole some food from us," Timothy said. He had white hair that was matted down, and his suit had a green jacket and matching pants. This arose a question from Sora.
"What's with the Gild family? Did you do something to them to offend them?"
"No, of course not young lady, we have not done a thing. But, they have done something to us. That filthy Wilson Gild killed my daughter," Timothy (I'll call him Tim for the rest of the chapters, okay?) answered. Sora looked down, depressed.
"I'm sorry to hear that. She must've meant a lot to you, Mr…"
"Just call me Tim," Tim replied.
"Okay, Tim. But, just because Wilson killed your daughter shouldn't mean you have to take your anger out on the whole family. They haven't done anything to you," Sora replied.
"Well, they have now. And now, we're going to go face them. You can come with us if you'd like," Tim said, rummaging through the room to hand two guns to his sons, and then taking one for himself. Sora's eyes followed them out of the room, as Capt. Harris followed. He turned his head back to look toward Sora.
"Are you coming too Sora?" Capt. Harris asked. Sora thought for a moment.
Sure, to stop this stupid argument, Sora thought. "Yeah, Capt. Harris, I'm coming," Sora answered as she left the room…
Back at the present, the Gild and the Bentley families were in the middle of a ferocious shootout. Wilson, Regald, and Richard, against Tim, James and Gerald, hiding behind anything to protect them from the bullet shots. Yolei tried to get out far enough to where she could get their attention without getting hit by a bullet, but it was hard. She had to duck a couple of times before finally making her way out of the scuffle. She was crawling along the ground, not looking where she was going. It wasn't long before she bumped heads with someone.
"Ow! What the-? Sora?!!" Yolei looked up, astounded. Sora was right in front of her, also in the crawling position!!!
"Oh, hey, Yolei. So, I guess you and Airdramon were with the Gild family, right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. They were arguing about how the Bentley family killed one of their own. How about you?" Yolei asked.
"Same thing, except vice-versa. I think we should stop this feud now before it gets any worse, if you know what I mean," Sora replied, looking over toward the battlefield. So far, there were no losses.
"I agree. At the count of three, let's yell stop at them," Yolei suggested.
"Okay," Sora agreed.
"1…2..3…STOP!!!!" Yolei and Sora yelled in unison, carrying their voices as high and loud as they could. It caught both of the families' attention, causing them to stop firing off at one another, and both families turned their heads toward the girls.
"Yolei, what did you and that girl yell for?" Wilson asked.
"Yeah, same thing here, Sora. What did you two yell for?" Tim asked.
"Can't you see what you two families are doing here is stupid? I know, it's sad to lose a loved one, but revenge will only bring more hatred and despair in the end. And at the end, neither one of you will be happy, so you need to stop fighting and reconcile your differences. Is fighting each other what you two would really want to do for the rest of your lives?" Sora shouted, bringing the two families some sense. Wilson, who was crouched, as well as Tim, stood up, and dropped their weapons.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I see what you mean. We both wouldn't want to fight for the rest of our lives," Wilson answered. Tim nodded, and the two proceeded towards each other. They then stopped and looked ahead at each other.
"Listen, Wilson, if it's worth anything, I didn't kill your sister. I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time," Tim replied.
"Really? Really you didn't?" Wilson asked.
"I swear I would never do such a thing," Tim answered sincerely.
"And Timothy, I did not kill your daughter either," Wilson replied.
"Really?"
"Really." The two then shook hands to end their agreement. But then they pondered, and looked towards Sora and Yolei.
"But, if we did not kill the other's spouse, then who did?" Wilson and Tim asked in unison. Capt. Harris and DarkTentomon slowly started to retreat from the scene, but Yolei saw this.
"Capt. Harris, where do you think you're going, huh?" Yolei asked. Capt. Harris stopped in his tracks, along with DarkTentomon. Wilson and Tim looked back towards the black man.
"Hey, I know you! You were the person who told me that Wilson killed my daughter!!!" Tim shouted. This shocked Yolei and Sora.
"You've been here before?" Sora asked.
"Yes, I have. And it seems that I've been caught. Well, Wilson, Tim, you are about to get your answer to who killed your spouses," Capt. Harris answered. All of a sudden, dark energy glowed from his body, as well as DarkTentomon's, and DarkTentomon transformed into his real form, a Chumon. Capt.Harris's body started to expand to a giant height, and then became dinosaur like. His skin transformed into dinosaur scales, which was green all over his body with blue lines here and there. Two golden horns emerged atop his head. And his transformation was complete.
"You're a…You're a…You're a…" Yolei trailed off, looking up at the huge green dinosaur looming before them. He grinned evilly.
"A digimon. Greetings Chosen of Serenity, and Chosen of Love. As you guessed, I am the African Omega. And my name, is Brachiomon," Brachiomon replied.
"You were luring us into a trap this whole time? But how, and why?" Yolei asked, being the curious person that she was.
"Now's not the time to be asking questions Chosen of Serenity. For now, it is time for your demise, which I'm sure will be pleasing for my master…You don't stand a chance…"
So, the African Omega is Brachiomon!!! How will Yolei and Sora get out of this problem? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!
Sorry it took me so long to finish this chapter guys, I lied about not having writer's block. And, I'm a procrastinator at heart, can you blame me? I have some good ideas, but I don't exactly know how to approach them, so I procrastinate until I think of a way to get there. But don't worry, I'll try to fend off my writer's block with a stick!!! So maybe the next chapter will be done soon, who knows? I just hope that this chapter does not dissappoint you all and I'm sorry for the delay.
And I'm out…
