After a while, they decided to rest at a nearby Sector Security facility, before meeting with Goodwin. But as they waited, Mina called Yusei, Shadow, and Akiza into a room to talk.

Yusei: What's this about, Mina?

Mina: As you know, the Arcadia Movement HQ was recently destroyed. But we managed to find some data and thanks to the information Shadow gave us , we found out what the Arcadia Movement really was.

Akiza: What do you mean by that?

Mina: It's best if I show you….but you may find what you see disturbing.

Mina pulled up a video of a child being electrocuted and tortured into using his powers. The video made Akiza look away, Shadow clenched his fists in anger.

Akiza(thought) How could I have been so blind to the truth?

Mina: Turns out the Movement kidnapped anyone with psychic powers, especially vulnerable children. They even manage to cover their tracks leaving no evidence behind.

Shadow: Bastards….

Mina: I'm afraid that the reason they did this, was to build an army of their own. And Akiza you were one of their top candidates for this.

She showed Akiza a list and she was on it. Akiza was shocked and ran out. Shadow turned and ran after her.

Yusei: I can't imagine what they told her.

Mina: Yusei there's more….

She pulled up a video of Shadow strapped down with wires covering him. He was electrocuted and was screaming in pain as Divine stood over. But when Shadow opened his eyes they were glowing red. He managed to break one arm free and grabbed Divine by the neck. A doctor ran over and sedated Shadow, he passed out letting go of Divine.

Divine: Keep him sedated and erase his memory again.

Mina: Why were his eyes glowing like that?

Yusei: That has happened before when we were younger. Never thought I would see those eyes again. Shadow what did they do to you….

(with Shadow and Akiza) she was sitting down trying to process everything.

Shadow: Are you ok?

Akiza: No. I know I should hate Divine for what he did, but I don't. He was the ok only one there for me when no one else was.

Shadow: I understand. Before I met Yusei and the others, I was lost.

Shadow sat down behind her.

Shadow: When I was young, I had a sister, Maria, and with my grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. He worked on the project that was responsible for the Satellite and New Domino City split.

Akiza noticed Shadow started to shake.

Shadow: My grandfather went into hiding with us, our parents were killed in the Moment. But Sector Security found us and arrested my grandfather. They had their weapons drawn on him. As they tried to take him away….Maria grabbed one of the officers arms and struggled over the gun. I tried to stop her but…

Shadow started to cry and Akiza knew why.

Shadow: The gun went off…..and Maria was dead. I couldn't save her. The officer who shot her didn't mean to fire. They took me and put me in an orphanage, and I never saw my grandfather again. I never felt so alone and angry. I wanted them to pay, I hated them. But after a few months, a young Yusei just came up to me one day, and hugged me. Then he told me that I wasn't alone and that we were family now. I never forgot that.

Akiza: Sorry...I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Shadow: It's ok, it made me stronger and I found a new family with Yusei and Jack. And I can't entirely hate Divine either, because he did one thing that made me, not hate the Arcadia Movement.

Akiza: And what was that?

Shadow grabbed Akiza's hand and looked at her.

Shadow: I got to meet you, Akiza.

Akiza's eyes opened wide and then she smiled.

Akiza: Shadow, I…

Shadow cut her off with a kiss. Akiza was shocked but closed her eyes and gave in to her heart. Suddenly, Mina and Yusei walked in and saw them. Yusei smiled.

Yusei: Bout time, you two kissed.

Akiza and Shadow separated and started blushing.

Yusei: Sorry I ruined the moment but….

Mina: Goodwin has requested our presence.

Shadow: No rest for the weary huh?

Akiza: Don't worry, we'll finish this later.

She winked at him as she and Mina headed to the limo. Shadow blushed standing in confusion.

Yusei: She's a keeper.

Shadow: I know.

Yusei: Better not piss her off though.

Shadow: Hehe right. Last thing I need is a duel monster throwing me through a wall.

Yusei: Heh, come on let's get going.

Shadow: Right.

The two left and headed to the others.
