Summary: In the chaos and mystery of Domino City, one teen rises above the rest of the Japanese public and becomes a hero to defend the peace and order of this city who doesn't even care about him as much as he cares about it. This hero is none other than the British-born hikari Ryou Bakura, AKA Limey Man Bakura Ryo! NOT abridged personalities. Contains thiefshipping in one part.

Characters: Ryou Bakura

Genre: Crime & Parody

Rating: T, for violence and crime and language.

An important note, before I say anything else! This story DOES use the abridged reference of Ryou being Limey Man, but the characters will NOT have abridged personalities and this is NOT the abridged universe. It's basically the dub personalities. The only thing abridged is Ryou's hero name.

This is an idea I had a while ago, but only fully developed in the past week! It'll be something similar to one of those "magic girl" animes, but it's with Ryou instead! Yes, that means that he has transformation sequences and everything. Fun, right?!

This first chapter is just an intro to Ryou and Limey Man, and a transition to his first transformation of the fanfic.

How this will work: there are several "missions". Each mission is split into three parts, for the most part, with one part per chapter. The first is before he transforms and is labeled as "The Problem", the second is while he's Limey Man and is labeled as "The Battle", and the third is after he changes back and is labeled as "The Aftermath". The first five chapters will be uploaded today, and they contain three parts of the first mission which is actually "Mission Zero", the transformation from Ryou to Limey Man, and the transformation from Limey Man to Ryou.

So let's get right into it, shall we?

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, or any of the characters/trademarks in those. I don't own Limey Man, but I do own how he looks in this fanfic.

Limey Man Mission 0: It's Always The Cards, Isn't It?

—Summary: Ryou witnesses a kid dueling a dangerous-looking guy, seemingly to keep a card from being taken from him. But while the kid is distracted, another guy knocks him out! Ryou steps in to defend the kid and his cards.

In a city of fun and chaos and mystery, where everything in life is a game, a duel, a fight,
or a magic struggle, one teen rises above the test to fight for peace and order in his city.

A city who barely knows who he is.
A city he is not native to, in a land he was not born in.
A city that has caused him more trouble than any other country he's lived in.
A city that he unintentionally and unwillingly caused trouble in as well.

A city called "Domino".

And this teen is none other than the foreign-born British hikari,
Ryou Bakura, who willingly becomes Domino City's hero and
peacemaker when he is needed: Limey Man Bakura Ryo.

Ryou Bakura was out and about, walking the streets of Domino City. It was a normal Saturday morning.

He had finished his homework, hadn't made plans to hang out with Yugi, and he didn't have any housework to do. He had decided to walk around the city looking for something interesting to do.

And then he heard it. A distressed cry. "What was that?" he asked aloud. It had come from behind him, down the block.

Ryou looked behind him. There was no one else on that particular block besides himself. However, there was an opening between the buildings halfway down the block, a few meters from him.

He looked across the street and at the other block. It didn't look like anyone else had heard. And that meant that no one else would help.

He certainly wasn't going to walk away from them, when there was a chance that he could help.

He turned around and headed for the opening. He peeked around the side of the building and sure enough, there was an alleyway that went to the other side of the block. There was a tough-looking guy that looked to be in his 20s and had a Duel Disk on his right arm standing a few meters inside the alley, on the left. He had someone backed up against a dumpster, but blocking Ryou's view of them.

Ryou was on the same side of the alley as they were and he wanted to get a better view. He snuck over to the other side of the alleyway opening and hid behind a trash can. Now he could see the person that was trapped. It was a 13 year-old boy. He had shoulder-length straight blond hair that was tied back into a pony tail, pale blue eyes, a tiny scar on his lower lip, and was wearing a simple black T-shirt and black jeans.

Ryou didn't recognize the 13 year-old. But that didn't matter. Ryou would still help him, if needed.

Ryou could now also hear them better.

"B-b-but I don't want to!" the 13 year-old was saying.

"Look, kid!" the other guy said. "Either you give me the card, I beat you up for it, or we'll duel for it! It's your choice."

Ryou resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Another issue over Duel Monsters cards. If only people knew how important and dangerous they could really be...

The kid's lip trembled. "B-b-but I don't know how to duel that well! I-I-I'm just a beginner! A-a-and I don't have a Duel Disk!"

The thug guy smirked. "Newbie. You don't need a Duel Disk to duel. And don't worry. I'll go easy on you."

"Y-y-you're lying!" the kid shouted.

"Well you don't have much choice." The thug raised his fist as if to punch the kid in the face.

The kid backed up against the dumpster and raised his hands. "N-n-no!" he cried. "Ok-k-kay I'll duel you!"

The thug lowered his fist and smirked. "I knew you'd come around. Now back up and we'll duel."

The kid whimpered and nodded wildly. The thug put a hand on the kid's shoulder and led him away from the dumpster and farther into the alley.

Ryou had a feeling that the duel that was about to take place would go wrong or contain some foul play.

"Not if Limey Man can help it," he mumbled.

When they had moved far away enough, Ryou snuck over to the dumpster and continued watching.

"I'll use my Duel Disk, you put your cards on the ground.," the thug instructed.

The kid nodded. "Ok-k-kay," he said. He took a deck of cards out of his pocket, shuffled them, and placed them face-down on the ground.

The thug guy already had his cards in the Duel Disk. He Activated the hologram projectors.

Both of them drew five cards.

"Let's go," the thug said. "I'll let you go first."

"A-a-alright," the kid said. He looked at his cards for about half a minute. Then he picked one from his hand and placed it down on the ground. "I-I-I place one card facedown and end my turn."

"Alright. I'll summon Kuriboh in attack mode," the guy said. He placed the card on his Duel Disk and Kuriboh appeared in front of him.

The kid cracked a small smile.

"And I end my turn!" the thug added, in a voice that seemed way too loud. Suspiciously loud... Ryou thought, for someone who probably would not want to get caught.

The kid's smile grew.

Deeper inside the alley, far behind the kid, Ryou detected movement. He squinted and tried to peer through the darkness to see what it was. When he focused on something, his eyes widened. It was another thug. He was sneaking up behind the kid!

"A-a-are you serious?" the kid said with a smile. "Y-y-you're using Kuriboh on the first move? Ha! T-t-that's hilarious."

The thug just smirked. "Don't feel too comfortable.. It's your move."

Ryou had been right, they were playing dirty! They weren't going to duel for whatever card they wanted from the kid; they were going to distract him, knock him out, and take it from him!

And he couldn't let that happen!

Of course, he couldn't just jump in and fight them off! They would overpower him. And then who would help the other boy?

Ryou couldn't fight them off...but Limey Man could.

Ryou smiled. "This looks like a job...for Limey Man!"

He quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. No one was, and the streets were empty. A bit odd, but convenient at that moment.

"Time to transform," Ryou said.

DID YOU LIKE THAT LITTLE INTRO?! I hope so.

The next chapter should be up in under 1/2 an hour as of 12:30PM EST, if it isn't already up by the time you are reading this. So if you read this far, stay tuned! It contains the transformation from Ryou to Limey Man, and it is the only chapter that contains this transformation.

So...

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEE~!
