"Let's see you fly," Roni yelled.
Jack looked ahead and saw a gap comming up. Jack was surprised at first, but he knew he could make it. Veronica just smiled and activated her invention that was attached to her wrists. On her right arm was her custom black duel disk that had orange markings, the disk had a dragon-like design. It also had an active standby mode, so it looked like she was in a duel but it was sending no signal to start one. and on her left was the same but it wasn't a duel disk, just the same wing-like design.
"What the duce," Jack said confused.
"My new invention, not only the duel blades on my feet but my dual wings on my wrists as well, let's fly!"
The gap was there as they both jumped off as Veronica's wings expanded. Jack easily bridged the gap, Veronica ripped through the sky and landed gracfully. She de-activated her wings and as the withdrew inher wristbands as Jack landed with no problem.
"If you wanted to challenge me, you could have come up with a better challenge than that," Jack replied with a coocky smile as he continued.
They continued on down the streets of the B.A.D Area and the route she was taking rang a bell, but he knew she wasn't part of any of the duel gangs he faced off against when him, Crow and Yusei were with Kailin as Team Satisfaction. The question was , how did she know this route.
"Let's see you fly," Roni yelled.

The gap was there as they both jumped off as Veronica's wings expanded. Jack easily bridged the gap, Veronica ripped through the sky and landed gracefully. She de-activated her wings and as the withdrew in her wristbands as Jack landed with no problem.
"If you wanted to challenge me, you could have come up with a better challenge than that," Jack replied with a cocky smile as he continued.
They continued and finally reached what Jack knew for a small time now. It was the hideout of Team Satisfaction. It had felt like forever since the last time he was here, his questions still remained. Veronica de-activated her Blades and started walking to the edge, there she saw the waves of the water the highways that led back to the city, and the city itself. Jack parked his runner and stood at the edge, angered that she still had not explained herself to him he said,
" Why did you bring me here?"
She turned in Jack's direction and asked, " I know it was really long ago but, do you remember a duelist challenging Team Satisfaction by herself?"
Jack thought for a minute but nothing came to mind, then he looked into Veronica's dark brown eyes. He remembered her right then and there.
"You're that girl, aren t you, the one who wanted to own the satellite sector for yourself," Jack said completely shocked that this girl was still around.
"Rumor was that after our duel, you disappeared," Jack added.
Veronica closed her eyes as if this was no news to her. She then stood and faced Jack.
"It's true, I did leave, " Veronica explained, " Not much longer after our duel, sector security took me in. I was convicted for association with a duel gang and was sentenced to three years."
Jack took a second look at her and noticed that she did not have a mark on her face showing that she did anytime at the facility.
" Why should I believe that when you have no mark," Jack asked.
Veronica moved her thick wavy hair to her left side, and showed her diamond-shaped mark.
" With females, they do not mark the face, they mark the back or more commonly the back of the neck, don't ask why cause I don't know," Veronica proclaimed.
Jack saw the mark and then started to believe her words. As she placed her hair back, Jack noticed a tear that ran down her face.
" Jack," Veronica began, " I want to apologize to you and the other members. My heart and soul were in a dark place at the time and I thought that if I took control of the Satellite that everything would be better."
Jack looked at her with concern as more tears followed as she continued,
"When I went to the Facility I found out on my own that my actions were uncalled for and I should not have took out my anger on all of you. There are no words to express my apologies to all of you. The reason why I called you out was that during our duel, I really lost it. When I lost, I became overwhelmed with anger and hatred, and when I tried to attack you and the others, it took all of you and your handcuffs to hold me down."
Jack then remembered her launching herself towards him and the others acted quickly to restrain her. Kailin liked the fire that she possessed and wanted her to join, but she refused. Kalin commanded Crow and Yusei to let her go as he himself took his cuffs off of her. Jack was reminded of how he was before the Fortune Cup and his actions to get to the city. He knew of the regret and emotional recoil that she was going through.
" The past is the past," Jack explained, "You need to move on now, you have a second chance and now that you have apologized for your actions you can start over."
Veronica faced Jack and realized how right he was. She was not that duelist anymore, and now that she was out and about she could truly start over.
" Starting over sounds good," Veronica said, " To start my new life, I rather have you and the others as friends instead of rivals."
Jack smiled and saw her hold out her hand to start their friendship. Jack shook and agreed to be friends with her.
"So your name is Sunaida," Jack checked.
"Veronica Sunaida," Veronica replied, "but since we're friends, call me Roni."
"OK Roni," Jack said, "why don't you come back with me and I'll introduce you to the others?"
Roni smiled and reactivated her duel blades.
"OK cool," Roni called out as Jack mounted his runner, " Last one their is a Kuriboh!"
Roni left her past in the Satellite that day and was now going to start a new chapter in her life. Her new life would have friends and new adventures.
