Chapter 1

Emi gave a sigh as she looked over her work, SOL Technologies really liked to make its employees slave away, but then again she should consider herself lucky to work there at all especially with the position she had, it was not easy to hold a job at SOL Technologies considering there standards especially doing it from home like she did, she had been warned to be careful and to make sure that all the work she sent in was correct or they might have to take that privilege away from her, they preferred there workers to work at the company but some had the qualifications to work from home, she was one of them.

She looked out of the window in her office, the sun was setting and the sky had become a burnt orange colour, she was starting to worry a little now, where was he? he should have been back by now.

She got up from her desk and began to walk to the front door as she did she heard it open, her pace quickened until she could see the door and who was at it and she smiled as she saw who had entered it was a little 6 year old boy, he smiled at her before he began to go to her, arms wide ''mum!'' he cheered.

Emi knelt down to catch him in a hug, when they broke away she fixed her son with a stern steer ''where have you been!?'' she demanded.

''I- I went to the playground with my friends after school'' he said, he looking down could tell he was in trouble ''Baxi's mum was there''

''And where is she now young man?'' Emi asked.

''I told her I could walk home, since it was only a short distance, I didn't mean to take so long, I bumped into someone on my way home'' said the little boy.

Emi let out a sigh, she knew she couldn't stay mad at him, besides he was ok, nothing bad had happened so she might as well just give him a warning this time ''fine, I'll let it go this time, I'm just glad your ok, just don't do it again I don't want to risk you getting snatched by someone''

''Yes, mum I understand'' said the little boy.

''Good'' she smiled.

''Mum can we have a duel?'' her son asked, looking up at her with big hopeful eyes.

''Sorry sweetie, but I'm a little tied up in work'' said Emi, causing her son to look down in disappointment ''but hows this, I have all day off tomorrow, if you finish your homework we can spend the whole day together''

With those words his face lit up ''ok mum, I'll get right on it'' he said running off to his room.

''No running in the house!'' Emi called to him as she went back to her office, smiling the whole way seeing her son had reenergised her and had given her some more motivation to work, she sat back down and began to work again.

It wasn't easy being a young mother at the age of 25*, but she managed, when she had told her boyfriend she was pregnant he had run off abandoning her with the child, initially she had wanted to give the baby up for adoption, but when he had been born she just couldn't give him up, she had fallen in love with him, so she had kept him and had become a mother.

It did require some sacrifice though, before she had him she had been aiming to join the Pro Duelling Circuit, but she certainly couldn't do it now that she had a baby to look after, luckily for her she had credentials in more than just Duelling and had managed to get a job at SOL Technologies being one of those rare few who could work from home so she could look after her son.

She was quite proud of him, he had inherited her love of Duelling and her smarts, he had been able to skip a couple of years at school, if everything went well he could become whatever he wanted to be.

When she had finished work it was night, she got up to make dinner, it wasn't anything special just a couple of ready made meals you could buy at the supermarket, Emi had never been a very good cook, she had tried to learn to feed her son, but her attempts had been less than successful.

''Sweetheart, dinners ready!''

But her son didn't come, so she began to look for him around the house, she had found him in the living room knelt down at the coffee table, she walked up to see he had fallen asleep doing his homework, giving a gentle smile, she picked him up making sure not to wake him and had carried him to his room, carefully putting him in bed and tucking him in she gave him a kiss on the forehead before walking out.

''Goodnight sweetheart''

…**

Queens eyes flickered open, to steer up at her ceiling ''just another dream'' she sighed sitting up in bed ''the same dream since I lost him'' she had the dream ever since she lost her son, when she was still Emi and not Queen.

It had happened six years ago, she had woken up and made breakfast, it was a Saturday or as she and her son called it 'special breakfast day' when they would have bacon and eggs or pancakes, she had made them and then had went to wake up her son only to discover he was gone, she had called the police of course, but they were no help and they couldn't figure out who had took him.

Queen had never let the loss of her son bring her down, she used it to motivate herself, two years after he had gone missing she had quickly climbed the ladder and had become one of the higher ups of SOL Technologies, she did this so she'd have more resources to help her find him, she had never given up on finding her son, she knew he was still alive somewhere and she just had to find him.

When she had finally made it to being one of the higher ups of SOL Technologies she had learned of the Hanoi Project, it was mandatory for her to learn of it because of there current objective, recovering the Ignis, when she had learned of what happened 10 years ago.

It had taken every bit of stamina she had to keep herself calm and quiet when she learned about the project, as a mother the very idea of the project made her sick, taking children and forcing them through such pain! It was disgusting!

She was convinced that this is what had happened to her son, he'd been taken and put in that dreadful project, she had made sure to research the project afterwards, SOL had destroyed a lot of data on it, because it made the company itself look bad, including those who were taken by the Project and what happened to them when the Project had ended, however she had found out enough, the children were all 6 years old and the process they went though had made her cry when she first read it, starving and electrocuting them should they lose! They were just children!

She could imagine her poor baby, scared and alone, spending six months in solitary confinement, it was beyond inhumane! Queen wasn't an idiot she knew that solitary confinement alone would cause irreversible brain damage in adults, but what would that do to children when there brains were still in a critical state of development!? The answer was create A.I. which is what the Hanoi did to create the Ignis's, she was relieved to learn that at least the company didn't know this was happening at the time it happened.

She gave a sigh, there was no point just sitting in bed and thinking about it, it wouldn't bring her son back to her now would it, so she got up and began to get dressed putting on her dress suit*** ready for work, she still worked from home most of the time, but there were occasions where she would go to the company headquaters.****

Today was one of those occasions, when she got to the company headquarters she went to command room which's main focus was the hunt for the Ignis, when she got there one of the people working behind the computers turned to her ''ma'am we've located the Water and Earth Ignis'' they said.

''Excellent send Go Onizuka'' Queen ordered.

''He already left ma'am and is on the scene and ready to duel the Ignis'' said another.

''Good, lets see how effective the implant chip truely is'' said Queen, she had given him the chip under the pretence of it making money and in order to assist in the hunt for the Ignis, however she wasn't sure if she was comfortable with the idea of using the chip, it seemed like cheating, you weren't winning with your skill but an A.I's another thing she feared was loss of who the person once was and Go Onizuka had been showing signs of that, she was hoping that she'd be able to convince the other higher ups that the chip wasn't worth it.

''Ma'am there might be a problem'' said one of the workers, his panicked voice brought her out of her thoughts.

''Of course there is'' Queen sighed under her breath ''what is it?''

''Playmaker is also on the scene'' said the worker.

''Hmm'' Queen mused, she honestly didn't know how she felt about Playmaker, she knew he was a victim of the Lost Incident so he might be her son, she wasn't sure though, but she did always feel something when she saw a picture of Playmaker and looking at him she did feel a little worry, but she just shook her head to ward off the thoughts ''monitor the duel closely, if we're able to capture and secure just one Ignis that is a major victory, if he attempts to duel Playmaker or anything that could jeprodize the Ignis's security forcefully log him out''

''Yes ma'am'' the workers said.

They then proceeded to watch the duel, the chip had certainly improved Onizuka's abilities, in addition of giving him the Skill to negate other Skills, he had also been able to learn how to fusion summon and synchro summon with the skill of someone who had been doing it for years and eventually he had won and captured the Earth Ignis.

There was a brief moment of celebration, before one of the workers turned towards Queen ''ma'am he's about to try and duel Playmaker!'' she cried.

''Log him out by force!'' Queen ordered quickly feeling a little panic spike up in her for some reason ''we've already retrieved the Earth Ignis, that is our priority at the moment''

''Yes ma'am'' they both said.

As they began to log him out by force Queen walked off going to meet Onizuka, he emerged from the capsule grinning as she saw her ''I have the Earth Ignis'' he said smirking.

''Good, would you like to attend as we extract its data?'' Queen asked.

-LINE BREAK-

Later in the day the team was ready to extract the data from the Earth Ignis, the Ignis itself was strapped to a table around it was a locked data sphere this allowed them to block any connection it had to the Vrains, however that didn't seem to be a problem because it seemed to be unconscious, to make sure it couldn't escape, two scientists we standing next to it ready to do there, job Queen knew what was going to happen next and to the Ignis and she honestly didn't care, she hated the Ignis, because of how they were created, the Ignis awoke.

Queen gave a smirk ''you gave us quite the trouble, Ignis'' she said, before looking over to a worker ''begin'' the worker nodded and tapped some keys on the computer he was working at, then the process truly began one of the scientists grabbed a tool and started to use what looked like a laser to cut off the Earth Ignis's hand.

This was in fact a tool SOL had developed for when an Ignis was captured, it was called a data scalpel this tools would break the Ignis down into nothing but data allowing them to be able to use it in any form they wanted to, however it would be likely the Ignis themselves would be destroyed in the process.

Suddenly the Ignis seeming to realise what was happening to it cried out ''stop! I have free will! I'm alive!'' nobody listened however and continued to work, Queen did however but she didn't care.

'Oh, what children suffered to create you and now I'm suppose to feel sorry because your suffering' Queen thought venomously, the Ignis itself was created from the suffering of a child, so she honestly didn't really care that it was suffering in her mind it was justice long overdue justice, she enjoyed watching this thing getting broken down piece by piece.

Soon enough the process was done and the Earth Ignis had been completely directed ''Excellent work, send any and all information it has to me afterwards begin to process its data'' she ordered walking out of the room only hearing a 'yes ma'am' from the workers.

Soon enough Queen was sat in her office looking over the information that they had taken from the Ignis, there wasn't much on it that was useful to her, nothing that would help her find her son, this wasn't her sons Ignis it was created from someone named Spectre and it had very little that would help her find him, but she knew she'd find him, she knew he was one of the children in the project, she was positive, maybe she was wrong, but she didn't think she was, she was so sure of it and she would find him.

'I will find you… Yusaku'

So there, I hope you liked it, sorry this chapter was a bit short and yes you did not misread this in this story Queen is Yusaku's mother, I know a lot of people don't like Queen or I think a lot of people don't like Queen, I like her though and came up with the idea for this story, now like Overseer Potter is something that I will acknowledge I think is kind of stupid and is kind of a bad idea but I want to see what I can do with it, if you've got any idea how to improve the story just let me know, oh and if you can think of a better title defiantly let me know.

If anyone wants to know why I was playing the pronoun game with Yusaku and just calling him 'her son' well, it's because I wanted the reveal at the end.

Also I feel that I probably should apologise for the lack of dueling in this chapter, but I felt if I did include one it would basically just be Go vs Earth from the anime with Queens reaction to it.

*ok, not sure if this is a good age to give her but I think Queen is pretty young, I'd say she's in her thirty's at least and Yusaku's 16 so I though this was a good age to give her at this point in time.

**this is to indicate that it is the transition from a dream.

***ok I don't know what she wears but I think it's a dress suit someone correct me if I'm wrong.

****ok with her lounging around her pool in the first two episodes she appeared in you cannot tell me you do not get that impression.
