Reunion
Rose and Junk woke up when they heard Yusei and Aussa's runners coming towards them. After Wynn got off Aussa's runner she ran to Rose and Junk. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" she cried loudly. The two were confused before a fuming Aussa took off her helmet, her face with the intent of murdering the two.
"AUSSA!?" Junk and Rose said in unison as they scrambled to their feet.
"The one and only…" Aussa said in an icy tone, fists clenched.
"Aussa, calm down, please, I don't want anyone to get hurt." Junk said, trying to calm down the Earth Charmer. Aussa just punched the Synchro monster in the face with an uppercut and sent him airborne. She then turned her attention to Rose.
"You stole Junky's heart from me you damn witch…" Aussa said in anger.
"I didn't mean to!" Rose said in defense.
"What's going on?" Yusei asked, looking at what's going on.
"This is something that happened over fourteen years ago, but boy, Junky sure has grown up." Wynn said.
"Who is that, Junk Warrior?" Yusei asked.
Wynn just nodded.
"What happened that caused this to happen?" Yusei said to Wynn.
Wynn sighed. " Basically Junky and Aussa were really close friends when they were really young. Aussa had a crush on him but never gotten to confess her feelings in time before Rose showed up at the orphanage…"
"Wait, there's orphanages here in the dominion?" Yusei asked, a little stunned.
"Hello, our world is much like yours, so of course we have orphanages as well." Wynn stated.
"Sorry, still not used to that fact that monsters live a lot like us." Yusei said, apologizing.
"There were a lot of us at the orphanage we grew up in. There was Aussa, Eria, Junky, Rose, Hiita, myself, Elf, Roller, Nitro, and Turbo." the Wind Charmer explained.
"Elf, Roller, Nitro and Turbo?" Yusei asked, more curious now than before.
"Elf was Hyper Synchron, the eldest of the orphans, Roller was Road Synchron, Nitro was Nitro Synchron and Turbo was Turbo Synchron." Wynn explained.
Yusei nodded.
"Then there was Miss Joan, she was the one who took care of us, before she was killed…" Wynn said.
"I'm sorry…" Yusei said.
"It's okay Yusei." Wynn said, smiling as she wiped away some tears that were forming in her eyes.
"But after Miss Joan was killed, everyone went on their own way. Junky was the only one who stayed put, not wanting things to happen to the orphanage. I went to the orphanage, but I see that someone finally burnt the place to the ground."
Yusei remained silent when he heard this.
Junk has been through more than I even knew of… Yusei thought.
"Let's settle things with a duel." Aussa said in a flat tone. "Winner gets Junky."
"I accept." Rose said, a little sorrow heard.
The two girls got their duel disks.
LP: Aussa and Rose - 4000 each
"Now I'll go first." Aussa said, drawing her five cards then one to start the duel off.
"I'll summon my Rockstone Warrior in Attack mode and set one card face down to end my turn."
Aussa said.
"My draw…" Rose said with a little reluctance.
"I'll summon my monster in face down defense and end there.." Rose said.
"My draw." Aussa said.
"I'll now summon my Stone Statue of the Aztecs in Defense and I attack your monster with Rockstone. Rock Knuckle!"
Rockstone attacked the facedown monster which was a Dark Resonator.
"Dark Resonator's ability lets it to negate destruction by battle once per turn." Rose said.
Aussa frowned. " I'll end my turn."
Rose drew her card. " I'll now activate a spell card, Ancient rules, with it I can special summon a level five or higher normal monster from my hand, so I'll special summon my Spiral Serpent in Attack mode and now summon my level two Antlantean Pikeman in Attack mode and tune him to my Dark Resonator to Synchro summon the Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon in Attack mode. Now, I'll end my turn there."
"My turn." Aussa said.
"Now, I'll activate three copies of this spell card, Ookazi. Each one will inflict 800 Damage."
(Rose: -2400 LP, effect damage x3)
LP: Rose/1600 Aussa/4000
"Now, I'll attack your Dragon Lord with Rockstone."
Gishilnodon dodged Rockstone's punch, clamped his mouth on the warrior and destroyed him.
"I take no damage from battles with Rockstone Warrior, and if he is destroyed when he attacks, I special summon two Rock Stone tokens to take his place, though they can't be tributed for a tribute summon."
Aussa said. " know, I'll activate a ritual Spell card, Earth Chant. With this card, I can Ritual summon any Earth attribute ritual monster without needing the necessary ritual Spell card. Now, I'll tribute my two tokens, as well as my Statue in addition to the Giant Soldier of Stone in my hand, I ritual summon Black Luster Soldier in Attack position." Aussa said as her ace appeared.
"I'll end there."
"I'll activate a Ritual Spell card myself, Dark Illusion Ritual, I'll tribute the Volcanic Rat that's in my hand to Ritual Summon Relinquished in attack position. Now, with his effect, I can have him absorb a monster you control." Rose said. "I choose your Soldier."
Aussa glared as her monster was absorbed by Relinquished.
"Now, Relinquished, Attack now, Illusion slash." Rose said as Relenquished attacked.
(Aussa: - 3000 LP, direct attack)
"Now, Spiral Serpent, attack and finish this duel, Spiral Tsunami!"
A blast of water was expelled from the serpent's mouth, hitting Aussa.
(Aussa: -2900 LP, direct attack)
LP: Aussa:0 LP Rose:1600
Winner: Rose
Aussa groaned and fell to her knees. "You win…" the Earth Charmer muttered loudly. Junk Warrior walked to Aussa and offered her his hand.
"Hey, get up sis." he said.
Aussa looked at him. "You called me sis, like in the past…" she said.
Junk nodded and Aussa took his hand before he pulled her to her feet carefully.
"I love you as a sister Aussa. Remember?" Junk asked.
"Yeah, I remember very well Junky." Aussa said, tears starting to well up.
Junk hugged Aussa gently before turning to Rose.
"Same here." Rose said.
"you two always are going to be thorns to my sides…" Aussa said, smiling.
"Sorry of breaking up this family reunion. Not really." Axora said, "We have a problem now."
He pointed to an all black Duel Runner that was coming towards the group.
"I'll take care of this." Junk Warrior said as he went to his runner. He got on it, and revved off towards the black runner.
"Who are you?" Junk asked when he was close enough.
"Well, well, it's Junkster." Hiita said, cruelty able to be detected.
"Hiita, nice seeing you again…" Junk said flatly.
"surprised to find you here, let alone with a new look." Hiita said with amusement.
"Likewise." Junk responded.
"Well, care to go someplace private?" Hiita offered.
"not alone with you, traitor." Junk answered.
"Fine…" Hiita said.
Junk turned his runner around.
"Follow me, Reddy." he said.
Hiita fumed when she heard "Reddy".
"I told you never to call me by that name…" she snapped.
"Whatever Reddy." Junk said as he drove off, having an angry Hiita follow him.
"I challenge you to a turbo duel!" Hiita shouted.
"Okay." Junk said.
"Speed World, Set!" the two said at the same time.
"Let's ride!"
LP: 4000 each
"I'll go first" Hiita said, drawing her card.
SPC: 1 each
"I'll summon Great Angus in attack position and lay a card face down." Hiita said. "I end there"
"My turn, draw!" Junk said drawing his card.
SPC: 2 each
"I'll discard one card from my hand and special summon The Tricky in attack position with its effect.
Then I'll normal summon Marauding Captain. And with his ability, I'll special summon a Hero Kid in defense mode. Now, I'll activate my Hero Kid's effect, which lets me special summon up to two more Hero Kids from my deck to the field whenever I special summon one of them. I'll summon both in defense mode and now lay down two cards to end my turn." Junk Warrior said as his whole field was swarmed with monsters.
"I am impressed, but it's my turn." Hiita said.
SPC: 3 each
"I'll tribute my Angus for Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch in attack position. If you still had cards in your hand, I'd have you discard one of them at random with Thestalos' effect , and if that discarded card was a monster, you'd take effect damage equal to that monster's level times 100." Hiita said. "now, Thestalos, attack the Marauding Captain! Firestorm Blitz!"
"I activate my trap cards, Spirit barrier and Astral Barrier. With Astral Barrier, I can make any attack towards one of my monsters into a direct attack to me. But with Spirit Barrier, any battle damage I take is reduced to 0 as long I have at least one monster on my side of the field." Junk warrior said as he drove in front of his Marauding captain, and with a translucent gold barrier forming, blocking the attack.
"I'll end my turn…" Hiita said growling.
Junk warrior drew his card
SPC: 4 each
"I'll now tribute one of the Hero Kids for Kuraz, the Light Monarch. With his ability, I can destroy up to two cards on the field. And for each card that is destroyed, that card's controller draws a card. Now, I'll destroy your Firestorm Monarch and one of my remaining Hero Kids." Junk Warrior explained. "Also he can't attack on the turn he was Tribute or Special Summoned."
Two beams of light appeared and each one engulfed a Hero Kid and Thestalos and when the beams vanished, so did the two monsters. Then Junk warrior and Hiita drew a card.
"I'll set one card on the field and tribute Kuraz for Turret Warrior. Now with him, I can tribute a warrior type monster to special summon him. And he gains ATK equal to the equivalent of the tributed monster.
Kuraz was a 2400 ATK warrior type monster. Now the 1200 ATK Fortress Warrior becomes a 3600 ATK monster. Now, I'll attack You with Fortress Warrior. Turret Blaster!" Junk Warrior said as the monster attacked Hiita directly. (Hiita: -3600 LP, Direct Attack / -3 SPC)
LP: Junk Warrior/4000 - Hiita/400
SPC: Junk Warrior/4 SPC - Hiita/1 SPC
"I activate a trap, Flashbang. It activates when I take a Direct attack, with it, it immediately ends your turn." Hiita said. "Now it's my turn." she drew her card.
SPC: Junk Warrior /5 SPC - Hiita /2 SPC
"I'll set two cards face down and end there." she said.
Junk warrior drew his card.
SPC: Junk Warrior/6 SPC - Hiita/3 SPC
"I'll attack you with Turret Warrior again."
" Magic Cylinder is activated! The attack is negated and you take damage to your warrior's ATK." Hiita said, grinning. (Junk Warrior: -3600 LP, Effect Damage/- 3 SPC)
LP: 400 each
SPC: 3 each
"I'll attack with Marauding Captain now!" Junk warrior said.
"Negate Attack, with this I'll end your battle phase as well as negating the attack." Hiita said.
"I'll set one card face down and end turn"
"My draw, Junkster." Hiita said drawing her card.
SPC: 4 each
"I'll summon my Fire Kraken in Defense mode, set a card face down and end my turn there." Hiita said.
"My turn" Junk warrior said.
SPC: 5 each
"I'll now summon Dark Blade now and attack the kraken with him. Malevolent Waltz!"
Dark blade sliced the Kraken several times before it was destroyed.
"Turret Warrior, finish this duel now!" Junk Warrior declared.
"RING OF DESTRUCTION!" Aussa declared as a ring appeared on Turret warrior's waist before exploding, thus destroying him and damaging the two duelists. (both : -3600 LP, Effect)
LP: both - 0 LP
Winner: DRAW
Both runners stopped. And steam escaped from them.
"gotten a lot better Junster…" Hiita said, grinning.
"Likewise, Reddy." Junk Warrior said.
The two of them were near the group now.
"HIITA!!!!" Aussa, Rose, and Wynn said in shock.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm here to give you an offer." Hiita said, holding back Wynn, who was trying to hug her.
"What offer?" Yusei asked, skeptical of what Hiita said.
" a deal to give reunite you with your lover, Signer." Hiita said, glaring at Yusei.
Yusei tightened in place.
" What's the catch?" Aussa asked.
"You come with me, no defiance whatsoever." Hiita said.
"HELL NO YOU WENCH!!" Axora said in pure rage.
"It's for the girl's sake, because Sayer really wants to make her into a mindless servant if Yusei isn't caught. Also it'll annoy him as hell if the man she loves is there with her." Hiita said snickering.
"…Fine…" Yusei said, clenching his fists.
"Yusei, you … love her don't you…" Rose said, realizing what Yusei was doing.
All that the signer did was nod silently.
"Hiita… Remember this well." Junk Warrior said in a serious tone. "Stand in my way when I come to wherever Phantom resides, and I'll crush you, regardless of our history…"
"Sounds like fun" Hiita said, getting onto her duel runner. "get on Yusei."
Yusei did what she asked.
"Guys, I'm sorry, but I promised that I'd protect Akiza from harm no matter what the cost." Yusei said, looking down on the ground.
"I understand , but it isn't your fault!" Rose said. " make sure to give the Phantom hell."
Yusei smiled weakly and nodded. "I will, Rose." he said before Hiita rode off with him.
"Hiita…" Junk said as he watched the black runner speed out of sight. " I will get to the bottom of this… no matter what the cost is…"

"Junky, what's wrong?" Rose asked, sitting next to Junk Warrior.
" I keep losing everything… first Miss Joan, then the gang, then the orphanage I tried so hard to keep from being destroyed, and now I lost someone I could relate myself to…" Junk said, deeply depressed.
"No Junky…" Rose said, hugging her boyfriend. " you still have me, Aussa, and Wynn. And don't forget everyone else you've met that was nice to you."
"I know, but I'm afraid of losing you the most, Rose… If I had a choice to save the world or you, I'd be so scared…" Junk said, looking into the night sky.
"Did you remember what Miss Joan said to us whenever we were crying?" Rose asked.
"yeah, Heart's Beat, Fate's Rhythm, don't know what it means though…" Junk said, feeling a little better now.
"Same here, but I think it means, whatever you hold dearest to your heart is entwined with your fate, no matter what. That's what I believe anyway." Rose said, blushing a little. "Junky, promise me this."
"Of course." Junk Warrior said.
" No matter what happens, promise me you'd return back to me alive." Rose said.
Junk Warrior nodded. " I promise that I will, no matter what."
"Arigato Junky…" Rose said, kissing Junk on the cheek.
"You still have the interest of speaking human Japanese?" Junk said, hugging Rose.
"Hai!" Rose said, joking a little as she smiled. "I love you Junky…"
"I love you too Rose." Junk Warrior whispered.

----------- -------------- --------
Well I knew there wasn't a long enough duel in a while to satisfy fans so I decided to do a turbo duel, hopefully it was long enough. The two turn duel of Junk Warrior vs. Bone Mouse was just for laughs.
I'm keeping Hiita's reasons of joining the Phantom's side a secret for the time being.
For those that somehow still don't understand how Rose and Junk Warrior know about the Charmers, here's the gist of it.
The charmers and Synchrons (All minus Quick Synchron) are orphans that lived together for a long time in an orphanage run by St. Joan, referred to as Miss Joan to the orphans (just remove the sword and armor for civilian like clothing for her appearance.) Then one day Rose joined the gang. Over time Rose and Junk Synchron became very close friends, to the point that they each had a crush on the other. Aussa however had a close relationship with Junk Synchron as well, therefore, Aussa developed feelings for him as a result. Then one day, Joan was killed (will be fully explained in a future chapter) and the whole gang decided to each go on their own way, except for Junk, who wanted everyone to stay together and help run the orphanage, he failed though and slowly started to fall into a miserable life that led up to how he first appeared in the first chapter. (He also slowly forgotten everything that happened prior to Joan's death, which explains why he didn't react to Rose when they met in the first chapter as well as the promise he made.)
