"Director Lazar, you have a visitor." said a young sector security officer.
"I see, let them in." Lazar said calmly.
"Right away director." the officer said.
"How long has it been since that day?" asked a woman in a white cloak marked with fourteen distinct symbols.
"Two years tomorrow, I'm very sorry about the whole thing. If there was anything more I could do I would, we both know that." Lazar said sympathetically.
"There's nothing anyone can do, but there's another reason I came to see you." the woman said. "Is the device ready?"
"It's nearly finished, however the final preparations are still underway." Lazar said.
"I see, in that case just let me know when things are done." the woman said. "These cards are the only piece of that day that's left. These cards and my life."
"I know, and I sincerely apologize for that." Lazar said quietly.
"There was nothing anyone could have done." the woman said quietly. "I'm the only one who survived. It was because of her I even did live."
Suddenly the door to Lazar's office opened.
"Director Lazar, a giant creature is approaching the city." said a sector security officer. "It's already destroyed four dozen duel bots."
"What, but that's not possible." the woman said. "There's no way that could be happening."
"Tell me exactly what this creature is doing." Lazar said. "If it's what I think it is this is very dangerous and the city will need to be immediately evacuated."
"No, there's one other option." the woman said as a mark on her arm started to glow. "Black Rose Dragon."
The moment she summoned the card, the woman jumped onto the dragon and flew out of the window.
"Director, who in the world was that woman?" the officer asked in shock.
"She's the only survivor of the tragedy two years ago." Lazar said.
"Wait, the reports said that everyone there was vaporized in the explosion." The officer said. "How could she be a survivor?"
"She was transported somewhere just before the explosion, and returned just afterwards. Akiza Izinski, the former Black Rose." Lazar said.

"Akiza, I know you don't want to see me after everything that happened, but I need to speak with you." said a voice.
"We don't have anything to talk about, now leave before I unleash my powers on you." Akiza said coldly.
"You're aware that as long as you have that mark we are connected. I'm merely offering you a way to at least get closer to them." the voice said before Kurimuzondoragon appeared.
"What are you talking about, unless you can turn back time or revive the dead you can't help me." Akiza said angrily.
"You misunderstand, you already have the means to get closer to them; I merely am offering to give you the one piece you're missing." Kurimuzondoragon said before glowing.
"What?" Akiza asked as her mark vanished. "How in the world does this help me?"
"Akiza, I've given you all of my marks, along with one other gift." Kurimuzondoragon said. "It was my fault that your friends perished and so this is the only possible solution."
"Solution, how in the world is this even remotely a solution?" Akiza asked.
"I have a unique power, it comes from being the only creature from the Netherworld born in the crimson light. I can place souls from the netherworld into other creatures."Kurimuzondoragon said.
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Akiza asked before four lights flew into her duel disc.
"I've done everything I can for you, now I just need to help the others in this city." Kurimuzondoragon said before glowing and flying directly into a shapeless black mass at the edge of the city. "Crimson Seal."
The moment Kurimuzondoragon said that, a blinding flash of crimson light enveloped him and the black mass before they both vanished.

"Did you hear, they say that the director is going to be honoring heroes today." said a young woman. "Apparently they were killed in that massive explosion two years ago."
"Are you sure, I thought it was because of those Satellite residents, we're only lucky they weren't able to get that bomb here." said a man in a suit. "We should have sent more security to take care of them."
"You shouldn't talk about things you couldn't understand."Akiza said coldly. "The only reason you're standing here is because of what happened in the Satellite."
"What are you talking about, that was the Satellite trying to destroy the city." The man said.
"Do you even know who died that day?" Akiza asked angrily.
"I'm sure whoever it was deserved to die." the man said just before Lazar stepped onto the stage.
"Attention citizens of New Domino City." Lazar said. "As most of you remember, two years ago today there was an explosion in the Satellite. This wasn't a natural occurrence, and if it wasn't for a group known as the signers this entire world would have been destroyed."
The moment he said that, hundreds of people all started talking at once trying to understand what he meant.
"That's enough, thanks to the signers the crisis was averted." Lazar said. "Only one person survived that explosion, as for the deceased, they are all going to be honored for their sacrifice."

"Akiza, you should go." Stardust Dragon said in Yusei's voice. "It's almost time."
"I know, but I just need some time to prepare." Akiza said quietly.
"I understand, take all the time you need." said the Red Dragon Archfiend in Jacks voice.
"No, it's alright." Akiza said before placing a red rose on the final gravestone. "You should go back to the cards for now, we should get going."
With those words Akiza activated her teleportation magic card and appeared right next to Lazar.
"Akiza, I'm glad you're here." Lazar said calmly. "Is there anything you want to tell the citizens of New Domino City before they leave?"
"I don't have anything to say, I want to show them all something though." Akiza said as the crimson marks on her back began to glow. "Come forth my dragons."
As she said that five dragons appeared behind Akiza.
"Akiza, what in the world are you doing?" Lazar asked nervously.
"Showing the city the reason they're alive." Akiza said as a single tear fell from her eye. Not to mention seeing them, one day we'll meet up again.
