Yusei walks over to Klaus, who lies on the ground in shock and stiff. 

"It's over Klaus. Give me the Spacetime deck." Yusei orders.

Akiza, Crow, and Jack all watch Yusei closely, along with all the news helicopters. 

"Yusei." Klaus begins to whisper.

Members of The Aether Group begin to flood the roof of the citadel, and surround in a circle around Yusei.

"It's not over!" One of the members speak out.

"You'll have to take us out before you take our lifetime's work!" Another speaks up.

"Stand down." Klaus orders, moving in a slow motion to get up on his feet.

"Don't trust it Yusei!" Jack shouts.

Klaus stands tall and looks around at his group as a tear sheds from his eyes.

"All I wanted was to protect this beautiful city, and to shield it from all darkness and threats. I see now that I went about it the wrong way. Yusei, I entrust these cards into your possession. I hope that you'll use them to protect this city instead of hiding them away. I wasn't able to tap into their full potential, to alter time and space itself. I see that your passion and fire might be able to. Even without your memories you were a survivor and a fighter, and rightfully more noble and deserving than I." Klaus hands over the deck to Yusei, and he puts it in his hand and closes his grip on it.

"My team and I will go back underground and working from the shadows to collect artifacts. I will be listening from the ground if another threat comes around. Never be hesitant to come to me for help Yusei, or Jack, Akiza and Crow. I apologize for my actions." Klaus adds.

"I don't know what to say." Yusei says in shock.

"I'll see you again." Klaus nods to his members.

Then suddenly, smoke covers the roof of the citadel, and once it clears they are all gone.

"They disappeared." Crow observes.

Yusei puts the deck in his jacket pocket and turns to helicopters.

"Let's go home." Yusei says.

Hours Later... [Yusei's Garage]

Yusei and Akiza park their duel runners in Yusei's garage, and then together they go to lay in Yusei's bed. They snuggle under the covers, as Yusei wraps his arm around Akiza.

"I'm so glad you made it back to me." Akiza places her head on his chest.

"I promised you awhile back that I'd always make my way back to you. I'm sorry for the choice I made back months ago. I didn't think about how it would affect you." Yusei whispers to her.

"I don't care about that anymore. I knew you had good intentions, and you wanted to save your city. All I care about is you being here with me." Akiza leans in and kisses Yusei.

"I love you Akiza." Yusei smiles and kisses her back.

[Crow's Apartment]

Jack and Crow walk through the front door of Crow's apartment. Crow leans on Jack as he slowly walks over to his bed.

"You had some real guts coming out there Crow." Jack says as he helps lay Crow in his bed.

"I had to risk the biscuit for you guys. You're my family Jack. I wasn't about to let some nut job just take over Neo Domino, and it looked like ya'll needed help anyway." Crow laughs.

"Yeah well you certainly helped." Jack throws a blank blanket on Crow's chest. 

"Where'd Akiza go?" Crow asks.

"Back with Yusei I think. She is certainly happy he is back." Jack smirks.

"Man why don't they just like get married and move in the country or something." Crow smirks.

"Yusei feels like he owes his father to watch over this god forsaken city. He won't ever leave here. After all the wrong I've done to Yusei, I owe it to him to stay here too and make sure he doesn't get himself in trouble. Even though I'm staying, I am for sure becoming the best turbo duelist in the circuit!" Jack clenches his fist. 

"I think I need to go back to the Satellite. I miss my rugrats. Those jackals rely on me." Crow says.

"For sure Crow. We don't need you to stay. You can be like Luna and Leo and leave and do whatever you want. I'm not going to force you out of town or hold you here. Do whatever you need to. Just know that we will be here if you wanna come back." Jack replies.

"Thanks man." Crow puts out his hand for a fistbump.

"Anytime pal." Jack fistbumps him.

Minutes Later...[Yusei's Apartment]

Akiza rolls onto her side, with her hair in a mess and a stream of sweat strolling down her back. Yusei lays on his back half naked and he helps pull up Akiza's shirt. To himself Yusei thinks, "With the Spacetime cards, should I put them away like my dad did and potentially risk this again in the future, or do I put them in my deck and use them? Will I become lost like Klaus? I wish my dad was here to guide me. All I do know, is I at least have Team 5Ds, and most importantly, Akiza." 

Yusei pulls open his dresser drawer and makes sure a small jewelry box is secure in the corner of it. He smiles and and shuts the drawer. He then closes his eyes, rolls onto his side, and wraps his arm around Akiza.

That is the finale to Yusei x Akiza Volume 2. Thank you all for the endless support that I've been getting. I hope that during the current epidemic that you are all safe and healthy! Let me know in the comments your favorite parts of this volume, and if you'd like another! I do try my hardest to make these as great as I can, and also not very drawn out in terms of plot and story because it can get boring after awhile. Also let me know if you have suggestions about any other kinds of stories you'd like to see, and maybe I'll consider it for my next project if it gets enough love! Until then, I hope you all stay great and healthy. 

Until my next project,
