(start of Arc 2: Convergence Arc)

Seven Years…

"ELISS !" Rose cried.

A young girl with white hair came and just looked at Rose.

"I know that you're the only one your cousin will talk to, and vice versa, but do you know where Eliddan is?" Rose asked the young Silent Magician.

Eliss pointed towards the orphanage's upper left window where Eliddan, a Silent Swordsman (LV3) was in, polishing his sword.

"thank you Eliss.." Rose said.

"Morning Rose," Akiza said, walking up to the female Tuner.

"Oh, Good Morning to you too Akiza," Rose said, bowing a little.

"I came by to see how the orphanage is doing." Akiza said, smiling.

"Well, Ever since we gotten Eliss, Eliddan, Felix, and Marie, this place has became quite active.

Three young spell casters and a warrior are almost as troublesome as Junk when he tries to upgrade his runner with new contraptions." Rose replied before an explosion from behind the orphanage was heard.

"See…" Rose said, sighing.

Akiza smiled and turned away. " I have to get going to work now." she said. " I hope to stop by again."

"Likewise." Rose said, smiling. "I heard you opened a café,"

"yeah, I did, It was Yusei's idea for me to run one to be honest." Akiza said, nodding.

"Okay, I might stop by then, what's it called?" Rose asked, curious now.

"the Rose Blossom." Akiza said, smiling.

"I heard Mana speak about that place before." Rose said. "Anyway, Take care!"

"Bye." Akiza said as she walked away.

"MISS ROSE!" Felix cried out.

Rose turned around to see the Miracle Flipper who called to her.

"What is it Felix?" Rose asked.

"I saw Junky dangling from a tree upside down and he was covered in black stuff…" Felix said pointing to the Synchron.

"Okay." Rose said, smiling. "Go on and play with Eliss, she seemed like she wanted to play."

"Okay." Felix said before running off.

Rose went in the direction of the dangling tuner that was her lover.

"You REALLY need to stop trying to add a Jet engine to your runner Junky…" Rose said.

"I almost had it this time though!" Junk said, flailing a bit from the tree, swinging a little when he stopped..

"I don't know what I should be more dumbfounded about, your stubbornness, or that you come out of the explosions uninjured…" Rose said, sighing as she heard a branch break and the Synchron came crashing down head first.

"I'm okay…" The Synchron groaned.

"men…" Rose said flatly as she walked towards the orphanage.

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

"Here's your Lone Fire Java!" Akiza said, handing a Dark Crusader the coffee he ordered.

"Thank you." the Crusader said, giving Akiza the money he owed and left.

"Have a nice day!" Akiza said, grinning.

"Akiza, we got three Dark World Mochas, one plain black coffee, and a Black Rose Espresso!" Yusei said as he took the orders from numerous customers.

"Thanks." Akiza said as she went to work.

Ever since Akiza opened the Rose Blossom, the café was a hit and she was busy almost the whole day. Mana and Burstinatrix dropped in on occasion for a cup of coffee and a visit. Yusei helps out when he doesn't have work to do as a repairman and Akiza's short handed on workers. The Rose Blossom was considered the first of a chain of positive changes in the town's atmosphere, as it was now more peaceful and civilized.

"Here's the Mochas, Espresso, and the plain coffee." Akiza said, going to the customers and giving each of them their respectful orders.

"Thanks" one of the customers said as she paid Akiza.

"You're welcome and Thank you for coming to the Rose Blossom, please come again." Akiza said.

The door opened and customers turned their heads and stared at who was entering the café, everyone falling silent.

"Hello Your Elegance, how may I serve you today?" Akiza asked, bowing at the Harpie Queen, Sora.

"Please don't have any formalities at the moment." Sora said, smiling. "I'm just here to visit what is considered one of the best cafés in this part of the dominion."

"I see." Akiza said, nodding. "So, what is it that you wish to have?"

"I heard you have a Flamvell Earl Grey Tea, if I am not mistaken?" Sora asked, brushing the green hair from her face a little.

"That's correct, but I don't make that often due to the length of time it takes to brew it. Unless you are willing to wait for an hour." Akiza said.

"I see," Sora said, nodding. " I'll have to have some patience then."

"Very well, That will be one Flamvell Earl Grey tea then." Akiza said.

"Your Elegance, If I may ask." Yusei asked, coming into the Queen's line of sight.

"What is it that you wish to say?" Sora asked, curious.

"I have an idea of spending some time while your tea is being made." Yusei said, as he pulled out his deck.

"A duel I take it." Sora said, raising an eyebrow.

"Correct," Yusei said, nodding.

Sora smiled and giggled a little. "I would be honored." she said. " But I don't duel unless it's for something."

"what is acceptable terms then, ma'am?" Yusei asked.

Sora leaned forward and whispered to him what she wanted.

"WH-WHAT?!" Yusei said, startled.

"What is it?" Akiza asked.

Yusei whispered to his girlfriend, who'd blushed a bit then grabbed Yusei by the ear. "Yusei, you are coming with me for a moment." She scolded before turning to Sora, "Please forgive me, but I must have a word with Yusei in private."

She dragged Yusei to the back kitchen and Akiza slapped him.

"You're wagering MY freedom!?" Akiza barked.

"I didn't say anything like that!" Yusei said in defense

"What was it going to be if you won?" Akiza asked. "other than me staying free."

"she'd be a servant for us…of anykind" Yusei said, avoiding making eye contact at a furious Akiza.

"did she give any examples as of what kind of servant?" Akiza said.

Yusei whispered to Akiza, who then slapped him once more.

"YOU make the tea, I'll duel her myself." Akiza said as she came back out.

"What was it that you spoke with Yusei?" Sora asked

"I'm going to take Yusei's place for the duel." Akiza said.

"I take it then the terms are agreed on." Sora said.

"Yeah." Akiza said quickly, before realizing she made a mistake as Sora borrowed a Duel Disk from one of the customers. "No, wait!"

"Very well then." Sora said, ignoring Akiza's plea as she activated the duel disk.

I'm too late! If I lose, I am a slave! And if I win, Yusei won't be able to focus with that Harpie following him! Akiza thought to herself as she was getting her duel disk, sighing when she activated it.

"Ready?" Sora asked.

"Yes." Akiza said.

"DUEL!"

LP: 4000 both

"I'll go first by summoning Twilight Rose Knight in Attack and with its special ability I can special summon a level 4 or lower Plant type monster from my hand, and with that, I special summon Lord Poison in Attack position, and now I will tune my Knight to Lord Poison. Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!" Akiza said as her dragon appeared. "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn there."

"My turn, I'll first summon my Whirlwind Prodigy in Attack position and then I activate a spell, Double Summon, which will let me normal summon one more monster this turn. Then I will be chaining it with

mystical space typhoon, and I target the face down, and I'm now chaining it with Chain strike, which inflicts 400 Damage times the chain link number this card was activated"

Sora said as three cards activated.

"I'll activate Ivy Shackles then for chain link 4. If it was going to stay on the field, your monsters would've been treated as plant types during my turn, but if it is destroyed by a card effect, I draw a card." Akiza said as the chain finally resolved, drawing a card.

(Akiza -1200 LP, Effect damage)

LP: Akiza/2800 Sora/4000

"I'll now tribute my Prodigy for Harpie's Pet Dragon." Sora said. "With my Prodigy, I can treat it as Two tributes if it is for a Level 7 or higher Wind Attribute monster from my hand. I will be summoning my dragon in Defense and I'll end my turn with a face down."

"My draw!" Akiza said, drawing her card.

"I'll activate my dragon's ability, by removing a plant type monster from my graveyard, I can switch the position of an opponents monster to face up Attack and reduce its ATK to 0 until the end of my turn." Akiza said as she removed her Lord Poison from the graveyard from play, in which Black Rose Dragon sent some vines to force the Pet Dragon to Attack position and binding it in place.

"Now, Attack! Black Rose Flare!" Akiza declared.

"I activate my Sakuretsu Armor, which destroys the opponent's monster that's attacking, in which in that case, also negates the attack. " Sora said as a gale of wind came from the trap card, destroying the Black Rose Dragon, in turn the Pet Dragon shook a little, due to it being free once more but it appeared to be fatigued.

"grr… I'll end my turn after summoning my Copy Plant in Attack position and setting two cards face down" Akiza said.

"I'll summon my Harpie Queen in Attack position." Sora said after drawing her card. " Now, I'll attack Nettles with my Harpie Queen!

" I activate a Trap, Wall of Thorns! If a face- up plant type monster is Attacked, I can destroy all Attack position monsters you control!" Akiza said as her trap is activated, destroying the two monsters.

"I end my turn." Sora said, frowning.

"It's now my turn," Akiza said, drawing her card.

"I'll tribute my Copy Plant for Rose Tentacles. Now I'll attack directly with her." Akiza said as the octopus like plant monster appeared and whipped at Sora with its tentacles. (Sora: -2200 LP, Direct attack)

"I'll end my turn there" Akiza said, grinning.

(LP: Akiza/2800 Sora/1800)

"I'll just set a card face down." Sora said after she drew her card, ending her turn after that.

"I'll attack directly once again!" Akiza declared as her Rose Tentacles attacked the Harpie Queen after drawing her card.

"I activate a trap, Widespread Ruin, with it I can destroy an opponent's monster with the highest ATK. This case is your only monster, so Rose Tentacles will go." Sora said, destroying the monster.

"I'll summon Hedge Guard in defense and end there." Akiza said.

"I'll again play one face down and end my turn. " Rose said.

"I activate a trap card before your turn ends! Wicked Rebirth! By paying 800 Life Points, I can special summon a Synchro monster in Attack position, though it's effects are negated and cant attack the turn it is summoned through this card." Akiza said.

Sora started to shake as Akiza drew her card. " I'll now summon my violet witch in attack position. Now, I'll attack with my dragon." Akiza said as her dragon launched a Black Rose Flare at Sora.

Winner: Akiza

Sora sighed and smiled a little, " I have been defeated. I have to become a servant for your man, my word is law, even to myself." she said, lowering her head a little, yet smiling. " though I'm not really a Queen anymore in the first place, so I had nothing else to lose…"

Akiza sighed and looked at her dragon. It looked at Akiza before vanishing.

"What do you mean?" Akiza asked Sora.

"The Phantom had overthrown me, I was fortunate it had no desire for consuming me after it became the Harpies' new ruler… I just hope Father is okay…" Sora said.

"Who's your father?" Akiza asked

"Simorgh, The bird of Divinity, also the ruler of the Dominion's Skies." Sora said as she kneeled. "Now mistress, I am yours to command."

"Akiza the Earl Grey Tea is Ready!" Yusei called out.

"Your Elegance, you-" Akiza said before Sora raised a hand.

"Just Sora, ma'am." Sora said.

"Fine… better get your tea while it's still hot." Akiza said.

"thank you." Sora said.

Akiza glanced all around the café, seeing a lot of dumbfounded customers.

"I'm sorry but we're now closed for the day." Akiza said, forcing a strained smile.

"But…" a customer was starting to say before Akiza put her deck away, took out a Giant Trunade card and activated it, blowing all the customers out of the building. " I told you WE ARE CLOSED!" Akiza said, shouting the last three words. She took off her Duel Disk and then turned around. She then dropped her Duel disk in shock at what she saw.

Sora was clinging onto Yusei, who was trying to get her off, but then Sora kissed him on the lips, which sparked an urge in Akiza, an urge to maim Yusei.

"YUSEI FUDO!!!!" Akiza screamed as she walked towards him and Sora, but then Sora broke the kiss, got off of Yusei, and glued herself onto Akiza, kissing her on the lips as well after that. Akiza blushed and closed her eyes. She started to calm down, and began to feel guilty over how she reacted over what she saw. Yusei was dumbfounded as he saw the Harpie kissing his girlfriend.

"This could be troublesome…" Yusei said before Sora broke the kiss.

"what was with the kiss?" Akiza asked, blushing still.

"A rite to prove that I am now a servant for both of you." Sora said, grinning.

"then explain why you had yourself around me?" Yusei asked.

"I like doing that with people I like." Sora said, blushing a bit now as she let go of Akiza.

"Ohh…." Akiza and Yusei said in unison before a knock on the door was heard.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE DAY?!" Akiza screamed as she swung the door open.

"S-sorry…." Junk Synchron said, a little terrified there.

"Oh, sorry…" Akiza said, blushing. " I thought you were a customer I kicked out."

"It's okay," Rose said, coming inside after Akiza went to the side, with the Synchron, Eliddan and Eliss behind her.

"So, what is it you want?" Akiza asked as her friends took a seat.

"Black Coffee" Rose said.

"I'm good." Junk Synchron said.

"What about you miss?" Akiza asked Eliss.

Eliss pointed to an empty milk bottle.

"some milk?" Akiza asked.

The Silent Magician just nodded.

"Okay." Akiza said.

"I'll take care of Eliss." Yusei said, " what about Eliddan?"

Eliddan shook his head and went to a corner. Eliss looked at her cousin and sighed a little.

"how long has it been since we came here now?" Akiza said. " I lost track of time…"

"Hard to believe it, but it's been seven years…" Rose said. "Though we age really slow once we reach maturity. Guess you don't age as well when you're here."

"yeah, been a long time…" Junk Synchron said, putting an arm on the table he was sitting at and had his head lay against it.

"Oh, by the way, there's some people outside that we want you to meet." Rose said.

"Okay, they can come in." Akiza said.

"Alright."' Rose said as she went to the door and opened it.

"No way…" Akiza said.

"It really has been over seven years…" Yusei said, looking at Leo and Luna as they came in.

They were both adults now. Luna was more mature in her figure now, as she was now more like Akiza's frame, but her breasts were slightly smaller than Akiza's. She was wearing a white skirt with a top that resembled her old red shirt she worn outside of school, without the white jacket. Her hairstyle was similar to what she had as a child, but what were two "Antenna" were now two ponytails in their place.

Leo was wearing an outfit that was very similar to what he wore as a kid, but the bottoms were white Cargo shorts instead of regular shorts. His Ponytail was gone now, his hair a bit shorter than to what is was when his hair was loose as a kid.

"Hey guys!" Leo said cheerfully.

"Leo, Luna, what are you guys doing here?" Yusei asked before Sora clamped onto him from behind his back.

"Sora, get off please!"

"Woah… she's hot… what's her name?" Leo asked. "she's quite the catch Yusei."

"Leo…" Luna said as she pulled her brother's ear. Akiza was a little annoyed at Leo's comment.

"Sora's the name" the Green haired Harpie said happily. "I'm Master Yusei and Akiza's Servant."

" As for why we're here Yusei, it's because we have problems back in our world. Someone is trying to kill the signers." Luna said.

"Yeah, if Ancient Fairy Dragon didn't save me and my sister when we were driven off the road by those thugs, we would been dead…" Leo said, sitting down.

"We were able to contact Jack and Crow to tell them about what happened and that we were coming back, but Crow suggested for us to stay here, as it wasn't safe enough there now on top of the fact that we are now considered to be dead…" Luna said, lowering her head. "just like Yusei and Akiza…"

"It's alright. Crow made a wise choice to have you stay here. Whoever was responsible would've done something more drastic and dangerous if they found out that you're both still alive." Yusei said.

"He was looking out for you guys on top of countless innocent people."

"So, what about Jack?" Akiza asked.

"Jack's okay for now, as he's back being a champion Turbo Duelist, but is a lot more respectful towards his opponents and the fans." Leo said. " Though he's in a dilemma with choosing Carly or Mina for being his girlfriend."

"I take it that the enemy will not target Jack right now due to him being around a lot of people again as well as the media." Yusei said.

"then Crow is who we should worry about then…" Akiza said.

"He's really resourceful… he can handle things on his own." Yusei said.

"Well, Leo, Luna, either of you want something to drink?"

"Some Earl Grey tea please." Luna requested.

"Black Coffee, heavy on the cream." Leo said as he raised his feet and placed them on the table.

"Leo, this is a café, not your home," Yusei said.

"Okay…" Leo said as he lowered his legs.

For the Readers, with some "behind the scenes" thingy's

I got the four orphans I requested for and I have kept my word. For those that made the suggestions, I am highly grateful. Surprised of how many young monsters there are, from the Cloudian - Smoke Ball to the Ultimate Baseball Kid.

This arc is taking seven years after the first arc, the reason why is so that I can have a new target for sexual humor, as Bubbleman is gone. The identity is secret yet known. (Think about what it means.)

I started to See Junk Synchron as both a caretaker and a mad scientist, so there's going to be some contraptions that he'll bring out of his workshop.

As I ended the first arc with Akiza and Yusei staying in the Dominion, I began to think what they'd do for a living. Yusei has been shown as a handyman in the third arc of the 5D's anime, so I decided to carry that over to this fanfic. Akiza was trickier to find a job for. I kept thinking that she'd be a good teacher, but then, going by a Starbucks made me realize that she seems more suited to rune a café. Yusei and Akiza ARE living together if you guys are wondering, but it isn't at the St. Joan Orphanage.

There have been rumors going around that Akiza will become a Turbo Duelist(Riding Duelist) sometime between episodes 73-76, but I am going to ignore them until I see the episode itself, if it's true. If so, then Akiza's going to be Turbo Dueling on this fanfic once enough of her cards in the turbo deck are revealed.

I am going to now do Turbo Duels with "Speed World 2" since that card has come to existence. The change will be included in the storyline.

Untill the next chapter,

Blazorna Santori

PS: The Fanservice WILL come, so hang on.
