Flashbacks

Axora rode his runner through the darkness, the moon as his only companion. The thought he hated most seemed to be the best choice to go with. He had little patience at the moment. He cursed under his breath as he remembered the thought all to well.

The thought of Teaming up with Akari and Mana. He then remembered a thought that he relished with delight.

Hitta was in a burnt forest at the border of the Wasteland and Canyon Realms. She didn't give much a thought about finding Synchro Monsters. Instead she wanted to find one of her friends and talk with them. Axora was watching at a distance. He was keeping an eye on the Fire Charmer, trying to see if the rumors about Synchro monsters were true himself. He then saw a Magna Drago, a dragon type tuner that were pretty abundant in the Mountain Realm. Hiita saw the tuner as well as a Lava Dragon before seeing a Red eyes Zombie Dragons chasing them. Hiita watched in awe as the dragon saw her and flew to her. The Lava Dragon roared and Hiita casted the D. Tribe charm so she could understand the dragons. The Magna Drago turned into two Synchro gates and they had the Charmer caught as the Lava dragon grabbed her. "What the HELL?" she screamed as she became an Trident Dragion.

Two of the three heads roared at the Zombie Dragon. The third head, which was the center, glanced around in confusion Axora grinned as he saw the other two heads attack the zombie, destroying it instantly. The dragon's other two heads then roared at the middle one. The Middle head looked downward and seemed saddened. Axora laughed at what he was seeing. A Three headed dragon, and one was close to crying. He turned around and left the Dragion be, seeing how one of the Heads had to be Hiita and she was suffering in her new form. He also saw what he wanted to see.

Axora smirked. He felt more at ease now. But a new thought came to mind. When he absorbed the energy that the Skull Knight, he remembered the monster's defeat at a Synchro Monster. "Maybe if I find a Synchro monster I can control…" Axora said to himself, grinning "based on what I saw myself and from that weakling, they have potential to be great servants."

"PREPARE TO DIE YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!!!!" Rose shrieked as she ran from a hot spring, chasing the Elemental Hero while wearing only a towel and swinging her sword. Junk Synchron and Leo were each howling in laughter, they tricked the Elemental Hero into going into the Hot Spring, convincing him that Rose was wanting to have him help washing her back.

"I can't believe how stupid he was for falling for it!" Leo said weakly as he caught his breath.

"I agree, he has to be a complete idiot!" The tuner said, giggling still.

Leo and Junk then felt a few death glares from behind the two of them.

Akari, Mana, and even Luna were behind them in robes. Akari and Mana were mad, while Luna was just blushing deeply.

"How dare you send that beast in to there!?" Mana said in fury

"Do you know how much trouble you're in?" Akari said in a stern cold voice.

Luna only sniffed and turned around.

"Oh no…" Leo said in horror as he realized what he did wrong. "If I knew Luna was in there, I wouldn't have done that. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry!!" All he got was a slap on the top of his head from his sister.

"Well I would've," the tuner said flatly before Akari punched him in the face, through a large stone and knocking him out cold.

Rose reappeared with a look of satisfaction on her face. She was dragging a tied up Bubbleman behind her. "Can't believe how durable this pervert is." Rose said as she threw the Elemental Hero to where Junk was. The E-Hero landed on top of the Synchron with a thud.

Yusei emerged from the Men's Hot Spring, wondering what was going on.

"Leave the garbage be." Mana said to Yusei , pointing to the duo that Rose was glaring at.

"Why am I the only one not getting thrashed?" Leo asked in confusion.

"Because You're my brother and already apologized." Luna answered.

Leo sniffed and smiled. " Sorry." he apologized again.

"But next time, brother or not, you're going to pay dearly." Akari said, poking a talon gingerly under Leo's throat and smiling. Leo shivered at the smile.

"So Aussa, where did you get the runner?" Wynn asked her friend looking at the brown and tan duel runner that Aussa rode during their turbo duel.

"A pair of Tuners named Turbo Synchron and Nitro Synchron made it for me. They maybe small, but they're good with their hands." Aussa explained.

"Wow…." Wynn said in awe.

"They were in a place called Geartown. Seems to be the place for machine types lately." Aussa added, running a hand across one of the handles of the runner. "So, Heard from Eria or Hiita?"

"Just Eria, ever since the Signers came, she'd been hanging around with the one Signer named Jack Atlus." Wynn explained. "But she seems to have a thing for Yusei Fudo instead."

Aussa blushed slightly. "Ohh, someone has a crush!" Wynn said, hugging her friend. The Jutte Fighter seemed to had other matters and left the two alone.

"So, should we go see Yusei?" Wynn asked. Aussa nodded as she blushed a little more.

"YAY!! ROAD TRIP!"

Yusei was looking at the Dominion's moon. He was wondering what Akiza was doing. He knew that She was in safe hands but he was still concerned. He thought about the promise he made before Jack and him separated for their own missions.

-------- ----------------- -------------------- - - -- -

"But Yusei, why can't I come with you?" Akiza asked, a little sad by the thought. Yusei was sitting next to her in a café in the Sogen Realm's main city. "I thought we were friends!"

"We are friends Akiza, but it's far to dangerous for you to be in the open." Yusei said, sighing. "Your powers seem to draw enemies to you. Also, it seems that guys are falling for you the moment they see you."

Akiza giggled a little at what her friend said. "I think someone's jealous!" she teased.

Ever since their second duel at the hospital before the Dark Signers made their move, Akiza became a lot more friendlier to everyone, but was really close with Yusei, though some would say that the two were in love. After the events that resulted in her coming to the Dominion, Male monsters were immediately charmed by her appearance. One of the monsters that could resist the apparent charm was Luna's friend , Torunka the Dark Sage. It appeared that the reason why most male monsters were lured to her was because of her powers. Since she was in the Dominion, the powers changed into being a magnet of the opposite sex and was even rubbed off on Yusei and Jack to a degree with the women.

Yusei sighed "I'm not jealous…" he said flatly.

Akiza giggled again and smirked. " Okay, you win, but make me a promise."

"Sure, but what is it?" Yusei said, smiling.

"Promise you'll be safe." Akiza said, blushing lightly.

Yusei nodded and smiled. "I will be. I promise." he said looking at Akiza.

"Yusei…" Akiza said leaning forward.

"Akiza." Yusei replied, doing the same thing.

"YUSEI!!!!" Leo said popping from behind the two, interrupting the intimate moment. "LET'S GO!"

"Leo, you Moron!" Luna said, grabbing her brother by the collar of his jacket and dragging him away.

"WHAT DID I DO?!" Leo said, oblivious to what he had just done.

Akiza and Yusei both blushed slightly before they both began laughing.

Eria sighed as she walked the beach. She was wondering if she was abandoned by Jack for talking too much. The water charmer sighed as she sat down. All that she was wondering was if she was ever going to see Gagagigo again. The two were inseparable when he was the younger Gigobyte. After a while, the two decided to go on their own paths, but Eria missed him dearly. "Eria, thank you for everything." Gagagigo had said before they parted ways. Jack reminded her about her familiar due to the attitude. He was easy to annoy and was a little cold to Eria a little.

The Charmer looked around before seeing Jack again. He was staring blankly at her, puzzled.

"Like something you see?" Eria said, teasing the Signer. Jack just turned around.

"Let's get going." he said as he began moving away from the beach.

Eria smirked and got to her feet

"COMING!" she singed happily.

I came up with this chapter as a "breather", but gives a hint about the future, so it's an important one none the less.
