Soaring Onto the Future

External: AO3 / Squidgeworld

Summary: It has been 2 years since they saved the future. Now the only thing left is to head towards it.

Notes: I had a bad case of 'Write the ending first' and this is what happens. This is the ending to the fix-fic series I have been writing. So, if you are waiting for the rest of the series do not read this. Inspiration happened out of order, so the story is written out of order. It can still be read as a one-shot.

Two years. It's been that long since they stopped Arc Cradle. In that time frame Crow had somehow managed to become part of Sector Security. A feat he never thought he would never accomplished. Just goes to show how much the city has changed for the better. Recently, he got a letter from the Shingon League. A pro dueling league. Crow had not thought about going pro at all. Just settling down in the city taking care of the kids in Satellite. It was a huge opportunity, that he should have jumped into immediately. But, "What about everyone else...?"

He did not want to leave them. The bond means too much to him to just leave. So he called up Yusei and the two managed to get the group together for a party.

The party started of terribly. Everyone seemed to be on edge, wanting to say something but no one knew how to start. Crow and Akiza arguing most certainly did not help matters. The tension finally broke when the twins yelled that they were going to go live with their parents. It started the domino effect of everyone spilling out what was going on. Akiza reveled she was leaving to pursue a career to be a doctor. And Crow... he was still on the fence about leaving. Never got to say anything because Jack barges into the building commanding the attention of everyone. at the end of it all Jack and Yusei agree to a duel, one that hold everyone's feelings.

Crow had invited Akiza to meetup with him. He wanted to apologized for arguing with her at the party. They met up at the cafe down the street from Poppo Time.

"Hey... I wanted to apologize. At the party...." Crow started.

"Its okay. Truthfully, you kind of helped solidify my choice to become a doctor." She said. Crow was definitely confused at this. "'Maybe true psychic power is to heal poeple.' That was what you said. It was what made me think about my path and helped me to realize that my powers... that I can heal people. So thank you Crow."

Crow was happy that Akiza found her lot in life. She had to go meet up with Yusei soon and Crow had his own plans too. The duo hugged each other goodbye.

"Oh, Akiza."

"Yes."

"Don't forget to give Yusei a big ol' smooch." Crow winked and made a kiss face.

"Why you!" Akiza turned bright red. Since Crow had no love interest, she had no rebuttal. So all she could do was stew in red hot embarrassment as Crow's laughter faded into the distance.

Crow sat next to the grave-sight. It was the last time he would get to come here for awhile.

"So I am leaving the city.... It was something that has been a long time coming. I'm going to become a pro duelist and reach the top. But that not the only thing I want to do while on the circuit. Pearson, I want to teach. I want to impart my knowledge behind on people just like you did with the kids and with me. Thank you for everything."

It was words that Crow wished he had the chance to say when he was alive.

Crow said his goodbyes to the children. It was very tearful. After all the crying, they saw their big brother Crow off with smiles on their faces.

The morning of departure came, and everyone was lined up on the empty highway. With Yusei at the lead, they all drove together one last time. Above them the Crimson Dragon appeared, and their marks shined. One-by-one the each of the dragons appeared in the sky. The Singer marks had not activated since the Arc Cradle incident. So, this indicates the end of them having the marks. All of the marks returned to the Crimson Dragon; there was no need for them anymore. It flew off into the sky, leaving behind a roar. As if to say, 'thank you, now go and live your lives'.

Yusei sped up and came to a stop. He raised his hand up and everyone clapped it as they sped by. Jack, Akiza, Leo, Luna, and Crow all drove together until it came time to take their separate paths. The road split off and each of them took a different route. Crow could see his friends fade away into the distance. It was sad while at the same time a happy feeling. Over in the distance he could see Satellite. The place where it all began. That is when it hit him, he was finally free.

Now the only thing left to do, was soar onto the future.
