A/N: I OWN NO PART YU GI OH 5DS! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE CREATORS!

Chapter 35: The Flight of Realization

Era's POV

It was about three days since I woke up and Yusei caught me up on everything that has been happening.

Apparently, while I was out, he went a finished a few demons. Let's just say I was a little more than upset. Yusei defended himself well and I knew there were only two outcomes, one for each option. If he stayed and didn't kill off the demon, then the demon would've been let loose and probably would've possessed someone. If he left, he would've possible stopped the demons but risk me losing him in the process. So I had no real way to argue back with valid reasons other than me nearly losing him each time.

I was also told that Bruno and Yusei had completed a new program for the duel runners that was a near replica of the one we made together. And it was apparently true when I found out that it was being installed.

At the moment, Yusei, Crow, Bruno, Jack, and I were watching as the three duelist's duel runners were being worked on. Yusei was standing close to me. Ever since I woke up, his protectiveness over me had increased. Though I understood why for the most part, I still didn't like how protective he was of me.

"I'm impressed with our accomplishment," Bruno commented.

One of the main workers, named Rick, came over, "No kidding. By using the Ener-D rotary, we have increased the duel runners' acceleration by one hundred-fifty percent." We watched as three devices were lowered onto my mate's and friends' runners. "The program Yusei, Bruno, and Era developed is also being inputted."

"I'm sure we can use the program to win," Yusei stated and Bruno and I nodded in agreement.

"Is the company okay with doing this for us? You're in a bit of trouble, with your president gone," Crow asked.

"Although the president is no longer with us after the incident, he left us an order to help you three," Rick replied.

"I don't think Bolton is coming back after being dismissed," Jack commented.

"Although he committed a crime, nobody hates him. We all know that he loved the duel runners from his heart," Rick responded. "Until the mistakes of the past are corrected, we intend to protect the company." We turned as new parts were added to the duel runners.

I noticed Yusei look down and I knew something was bothering him with those words. 'I'll question him about it tonight,' I thought.

. . .

That night, Yusei and I were flying around the air silently. I could tell Yusei's mind was also directed around something else at the same time as hunting down demons.

"Alright, Yusei," I called in a stern voice and he looked at me, "what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," he replied, turning his head away from my gaze. I grabbed his arm and pulled him to a hover. I looked at him in his eye with a stern, prodding glare that said I would not back down on the matter until it was settled. He sighed. "I'm just worried that the mistakes of my past with my father's research will never be corrected."

"Okay, that's it," I stated sternly. I grabbed his arm and yanked him higher into the air. I stopped when we were bridging the highest cloud cover. He looked at me confused. "Yusei, look at New Domino right now," I ordered. He looked at it, obviously still lost as to what I was trying to say. "What do you see?"

"I see the city. It's lights and everything," he answered.

"Exactly," I responded. "Before Zero Reverse, it may have looked similar but it didn't look as beautiful at this height as it does today." He looked at me. "It just looked like an ordinary city. Right after Zero Reverse, it was a bit worse. But now, it's worked well passed those dark days. It's become bright and beautiful. It's become something new and better. Yusei, Satellite and New Domino might've been whole at one point. But if it wasn't for Zero Reverse, it would probably look similar as to how it did all those years ago. It wouldn't look like this if Zero Reverse hadn't happened. And if Zero Reverse hadn't happened, I wouldn't have met your father, our friends, or you. Your father's work itself may have brought out a problem at one point, but its final result was amazing and better. Your father's research has been corrected, Yusei. You may have never seen it until now. But it's been corrected in ways that some people don't see or understand."

"Era…" Yusei muttered and I smiled at him.

"Have you heard anyone complain about Professor Fudo's work and what happened with it?" I asked with a grin. He sent a grin back and shook his head slightly. "People have moved passed it and it's corrected itself out. Now it's your turn to move passed it too."

"Thanks, Era," he stated. "I probably needed to hear that." We looked down at the view far below. "And see it."

I gave him a small smile and cupped his cheek. I moved my hand down and grabbed his. "Let's get back to doing our duty," I told him. "We can sight see when we know there aren't any demons in the area."

Yusei gave a soft chuckle. "Alright," he agreed and we took off.
