(Note to self, find some duelists who haven't signed up yet )



Last time: Super Hurricane tried his best, but his best didn't cut it in the arena the enigmatic Shadow Wolf picked out for him. Despite a turnaround by Ryoko and the Lighthawk Wings, Pan was sent out and was immediately plummeled. The only thing saving Shadow Wolf from utter defeat was her second Element card, which allowed Pan to regain her Saiyan animal form. Now Ryoko was plummeled as the giant ape beat him up to a pulp and rendered her out of the match. After the match, SH decides it's time to get some new element cards at the Bank where his great-grandfather left him in his will. The only question is, how can he stop both Keroberos and Ryoko from killing each other!?!

"You know, for a flying lion, you seem to be drifting rather than flying." Ryoko said as we passed the next block. So far, no one noticed us, or at least tried not to notice us. It's kind of embarrassing to see a warrior who uses his cards for transport work. I was a bit of a flushed red as well, since I was trying real hard to not look down.

"Then how about you get your saggy butt off my ribs and maybe then I'll consider it." Keroberos said, and the two locked eyes, growling. I put myself between them, and pushed their heads away from each other.

"Knock off you two, I can't do this if you act like individuals." I said, as they snorted and turned their heads to not face each other. I sighed and resat forward. 'This is going to be a booooorrriiing trip.'



Place: Skyhawk Bank

Area: 6-367-AC5

Colony: 18823-B3

Time: 10: 52 AM

BLAM! BLAM!

"Nobody move! This is a robbery!" A stocky teenager in a super big overcoat yelled, throwing down three Toonami cards, and used his shotgun to make a point, "Kai pirates, I summon you!"

The cards glowed darkly as the evil henchmen of Hazanko rose in attack mode. The teen smirked, as he striped off his overcoat to reveal a Safari Hunter's jacket, with a tan hat complete with Ostrich feather. He put on dark shades and walked up to the front desk. Before the teller could even try to activate the silent alarm, the unnamed gunsman pointed his shotgun below the tellers desk and fired.

Blam! Boom!The bullet struck the wiring, cutting the alarms off to all the desks.

"Anyone else want to try to stop me?" he asked warily as he put the shotgun back in his holster. "Didn't think so. Boys, strip the customers of their credits and cards and load up the bags as well."

The Kai pirates agreed as one, and used their sharp claws to threaten the consumers.

"Hey, that's my-" A old gentlemen was about to protest the theft of his dad's watch when one of the Kai pirates went forward and put it's claw against the Adam's apple. A twitch and it would be gone. As soon as the pirate took the watch, the old man dropped to his knees and cried. These guys were in trouble, who you going to call?



Meanwhile, we finally made it to the bank, despite Keroberos's warning that he might lighten the load by tossing Ryoko overboard. Then a heated argument about whose magic is more powerful, and then me having to separate them again. Gee, the life of a duelist is a wonderful thing. (Yes, this is my way of sarcasm.)

"Okay, Kerberos, you wait outside." I said as I hooked a chain to his helment to the bike rack.

"Hey! You can't just do that, I'm not a dog you know!" He complained.

"Talk is cheap, helmet head. Now hide so no one notices your furry behind." Ryoko said, as I walked up the steps.

"Witch." Keroberos said as he went into the bushes, biding his time.





Ding-ding! The stupid bells went off as we entered, and I grimaced. I really think they should get with the 21th century(or whatever century it is) and installed beepers, it's least distracting. I took no notice of the Kai's pushing people to the wall, stealing their purses and stuff. I mean, it's not like I can see everything around me, just straight forward.

And looking straight forward has it's perks, especially if you can notice someone familiar. That's when I saw him, by recognizing the color of his red hair and it's "Toros" design in which it was pointed on both sides, and shouted, "Hey, Petzhouse!"

He jerked involuntary and dropped his bags, turning towards me with a snarl. "So, if it isn't the geek from Jr. High. Small world."

I gave a heartly chuckle to that, "I'll say, I thought you were evicted from this area because of that giant stink bomb on the mayor's face. I did warn you it would be fatal."

His face snarled even farther, and he walked up to me, bouncing his bags full of cash from one hand to the other.. His face calmed a bit as he saw Ryoko in her disguise. "Cute girl you got there." He then spanked her rump, and Ryoko got that look in her eyes, the " First, I'll blow you up, then cremate you, resurrect you and then do it again for 100 times till I get bored and then annihilate every cell in your pitiful body" look. He pulled out his shotgun

I decided this would be a good time to distract him, "Hey! Isn't that Jeff Nimoy and Bob Bucholz trying to dub Gundam Wing so it wouldn't get a second season?"(One thing to know about this guy: He's a gullible idiot)

He fell for it! He turned around, and asked "Where?" I got up from behind, and took out my slingshot-like stick and slapped it above his hand. (I rarely use it for anything else than self-defense and disarmament)

Fwwaaapp! "Owwww!" He dropped his rifle, clutching his hand in pain, and shouted, "Kai pirates, kill them!"

I hadn't noticed them till now, so I was surprised when they ran at us, claws unleashed. "Ryoko, we have company!"

Tsssew! Tssseew! Two red-light beams struck two of them pushing them back a little, awhile the third was getting ready to leap. Ryoko flew towards him and smashed the third one's head, knocking him out cold. Petzhouse's vision was getting better, as he was going to reach for his shotgun. I couldn't take the chance of him rearming. Petzhouse is very crazy, and very dangerous.

Fwaap! "Eeeee-owwwwww!"

I slapped his hand and used to rod to toss the weapon away. Immediately the hostages ran out the front door, and piledrove over the Kai pirates. They were now out of commission. I smirked as Petzhouse got up, and snarled with anger.

"Kai pirates, return!" The unconscious pirates glowed red and shrunk and reverted back to card form. In their card form, each one appeared to do something different, and the background was Hazanko's ship.

"Giving up already?" I asked, curious.

"I don't have the time to battle losers like you, good bye!" He took out a spraycan and threw it to the ground. It exploded with a red gas that enveloped him.

Swoosh! Ryoko yawned and used one of her hands to shove the smoke away, and Petzhouse, who looked ready to bolt, blinked as his cover was exposed. He looked at me, then at Ryoko and screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAA!" He ran out the door, and went to the bike rack. But before he did so, Keroberos came out(since the bushes were a bit thorny) and growled at him. Petzhouse screamed again as he ran 20 miles away, leaving me to his bike.

I scratched my head at this behavior, and looked down. Petzhouse left his bags behind with all the money and cards that he took. However, there was one card that he didn't steal, as I picked it off the floor. Dusting it off, I realized Petzhouse was giving me a card to make up for lost time. How sweet of him to give me his Piccolo(DBZ) card. What a true friend.

I walked over to the guy who works at the bank, and politely put the card in my hands on the desk. "Please put this under my account please, and allow me to get my grandfather's box."



Meanwhile, in a old abandoned newspaper station, Petzhouse was being tortured.

"Aaaack! Stop, please! It wasn't my fault!" He screamed as something lifted him quickly and smashed him into the ceiling.

Fwaap! A steel bar struck his legs, and he howled in agony. Three pairs of eyes glowed red in the dark warehouse, and smiled at the pain they were causing.

"That will be enough for now."A voice, as raspy as a jazz singer, ordered and Petzhouse dropped 20 feet onto a hard mattress.

"Ow." Petzhouse complained, as he struggled to get up.

"A truly pathetic display, Petzhouse. I am very annoyed that a Class B was defeated by a simpleton nerd. I may to have withdraw the dosage I have you on." The voice said, as the lights flickered on, on both sides. Shelves lined with rare Toonami cards were stacked together between cans of SPAM(The cooking spray).

Petzhouse dropped to his knees and moaned, "Please lord, forgive me! Take my soul if you want, but don't take away my drug!"

"Silence!" A shelve fell over and crushed Petzhouse. He moaned as the voice continued, "Now, we will address this problem indirectly. And as we are at it, steal his cards and put him at the tip of a flagpole by his pants. Otherwise, this boy will be a problem to the Hydra Team and our sponsor, the Globex Corporation."

Petzhouse groaned some more as he lifted the heavy shelf off him, "Yes, lord. I will crush Super Hurricane and restore balance to the Hydras."

"See that you do, and one of us will assist." A female came out of the darkness towards Petzhouse and the voice continued, "She will terminate the problem." The voice and the three figures then burst out in manic laughter.



Next time: (Translated) Hey, I'm a Rapidash, one of the fastest Pokemon on the planet. It seems that SH finally gets a roommate, and his names Yami.
