Y/N's POV:

    After meeting up with everyone, Jack finding and bringing Carly as he filled her in with what happened, we all met up in one spot while I kept getting teased by my family and Calvin before we eventually calmed down and turned to look at Uncle Seto. Carly and I stepped forward so we were in front of the CEO as if he was the judge and we were waiting to see if we were going to be sentenced to jail or walk away free. Though, I highly doubt it would be the second option. "I know that you both regret what you've done but you guys caused a lot of damage to Domino City. I also don't know where the other Ex-Dark Signers went but you two are here so you're gonna have to deal with their punishments as well." Uncle Seto said as I looked over at Carly to see she had turned to look at me, neither of us wanting to bring up the others since they all went their own ways to cope with what happened. Plus, Misty just got her little brother back, she should focus on taking care of him and herself.

    "It's alright, Uncle Set, I'll take full responsibility for the others. I was the leader and King so I'll pay for their mistakes. I'll bear it so they don't have to." I said, quoting Clarke from 'The 100' as I stepped forward and in front of Carly to show that I meant her too. Hearing Amara snap and hummed with what I said as I fought back a smile that wanted to come to my face. She really gets me, no wonder Calvin kept us apart for awhile.

     He wasn't ready for our awesome soon to be friendship. He probably thinks we'll quote shows and movies and to be honest, that's probably what'll happen now.

     Shaking away the thought as I focused on the matter at hand. "I know what we did is beyond forgiveness so I'll do whatever I can to fix our mistakes." I finished as I stood tall and looked up at my Uncle, who seemed to be thinking of my punishment before sighing softly. "I know you're willing to fix your mistakes but that's the thing also, you guys didn't really destroy anything that wasn't already gonna be destroyed. You destroyed the old Arcadia Movement building that I was gonna destroy and rebuild as a new orphanage. The only thing you guys did destroy that I wasn't planning on breaking down any time soon was the street that the temples popped out from." He explained as I stared at him surprised.

    Maybe I might get off the hook after all even though I don't really want to. Damn guilt.

    "But even with the roads, they were gonna be remade anyway since people complained about a bunch of potholes so I guess destroying those also helped out with improving Domino. Huh, who knew it would take a battle between Life and Death to actually make Domino better?" Uncle Seto said as I nervously scratched the back of my neck while my cheeks heated up as I began feeling embarrassed.

     "That doesn't mean you're off the hook, though, since there was a big incident that happened here." Mokuba pipped in, seeing Uncle Seto nod in agreement, "That's right, the Yubel incident." I heard Jaden say but I stayed quiet as I waited for my Uncle's punishment. Wait, did he just say Yubel? The hell did I miss? "Alright, Y/N, as your punishment, since you agreed to take the fall for every single one of the Ex-Dark Signers. You will be helping rebuild the Duel Arena and any other building that was destroyed during the Yubel Incident. You won't have any free time so once you're finished with your school stuff, you'll be helping rebuild everything and don't think you could get out of it by saying you have school work to do because I know you better then that." Uncle Seto said as he towered over me, making me feel slightly smaller then I am. "So if you try to pull that excuse, keep in mind that I'll be telling the construction workers not to start working until you get there." He added as I sighed but agreed, not wanting to disappoint my Uncle anymore then he already was. "Does that seem fair to you guys? Yugi? Pharaoh?" Uncle Seto asked as he turned towards my Dads, hearing the two men agree to my punishment.
