LLL- Well then here we go everybody. Enjoy.

The four hide on a tall building and observe her as she walks into a roofless hut.

"This must be her hide out, " says Crow.

"I can see her marker," Yusei points out. "See it? Right under her left eye and next to her right eye." The others nod. A little child, maybe about the age of 5, runs up and wraps her arms around Vanessa's legs. Followed by four other children.

Crow steps up a little. "What the..."

"Was everyone OK without me?"

"Yes," they sing in unison.

"I missed ya'll so much," she sighs, bending down on her knees and hugging all of them.

"We missed you too."

"I brought everyone some food. The good kind of food."

"Cool," says a little boy with red hair, "What about decks?"

"I couldn't get any toady." His faces falls. "But I'm trying my best. You know that."

"Yes," the youngest girls say, "we know."

"Come on, let's go eat." She takes them around a small fire and pulls out rice, spring egg rolls, dumpling, tea, and duck.

"Wow mommy Nessa, This looks amazing." Everyone starts eating. The building that the group is standing on begins to vibrate slightly. They all look under their feet and notice that it's not just that building. It's the entire satellite, shaking like a leaf. The kids that are with Vanessa begin to whine and scream. After about a minute, the shaking subsides and only the sound of settling and buildings falling in the distance is heard.

That's when the rumble of a duel runner is heard. Someone rides off of the roof across from them and lands right next to Vanessa. They pull off their helmet and it's Lake. She looks angry.

"So she can ride a duel runner but Vanessa can't?" Jack asks.

"Shhh."

"That's the third time this week," Lake says. "These earthquakes are getting more and more frequent every week."

"Something is going on with the Satellite and Godwin is trying to pass it off as nothing. He's not fooling me. You know the date and time. I'm going to get information myself soon." The kids ease out of their clearing while they talk. Vanessa punches the wall. "Damn Godwin. He takes me as a fool. He knows I mean business but he still won't take me seriously."

"I'm sorry to point this out, but you're only 15. Not many people will take you that seriously."

"But I'm not normal!" She growls. Lake steps up to her and grabs her arms.

"Control. You need to have control. Don't lose yourself. Not like this." Nessa pulls away from Lake and takes deep breath.

"I'm sorry."

"If you get to Godwin. Be sure to remember that word... Control."

"No promises."

Crow backs up with the others.

"Let's go," he says. They arrive back at Crow's hide out to find the kids asleep. They sit around the fire.

"What do you think that was about?" Yusei asks.

"Well obviously she has some beef with Godwin," Jack says.

"Agreed, but maybe there is something wrong with her. It came out of her own mouth."

"Crow are you OK?" Akiza asks.

"Did you see all of those children," he asks, looking over at his own. "They called her mommy."

"I highly doubt that's true."

"That's not the point. She's not bad. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor." Everyone can tell that seeing the children hit a sensitive point in Crow.

"We need to get some sleep. Especially you Jack."

"Hmph." They put out the fire and make room in Crows small hide out.

*The Next Day*

Jack and the others enter the theatre on their duel runners. Lake and Vanessa are already there waiting patiently.

"Good Luck." Lake leaves. Jack disengages his disk from his runner and walks to the middle of the theatre. Vanessa has an unreadable expression on her face.

"I'll go first if you don't mind."

"Actually, I do. I saw what you did. Going first is part of your strategy, but it wouldn't hurt to let you have it your way."

"OK then I guess that means me."

"Let's duel."

"OK Jack, First I summon Blood Hound in Attack mode." Blood Hound has 450 attack points and 1200 defense points. "Now, I lay two cards face down and end my turn.

He doesn't make a comment, knowing not to underestimate her.

"My go, I summon Red Nova Dragon to the field. As soon as Red Nova Dragon is summoned, his special ability activates and he gains 200 attack points. Next I summon Dark Resenator."

Vanessa's eyes widen. "We just started. He wouldn't..."

"Now I syncro summon Red Nova Dragon with Dark Resentaor and bring forth.. Red Dargon Archfiend!" The larger demonic dragon appears.

"Why would you bring out your most powerful monster in the first turn of a duel?"

The others observe Jack, "What do you think Jack is doing?" Akiza asks.

"I'm not sure, but he better be careful, this goes a little against his dueling strategy."

"He's trying to do what she was afraid of and push her to her limits," Crow points out.

"I end my turn."

Vanessa gulps slightly. "OK. I Play the Broken Vein Field Spell." Red and Black Strings surround Jack and Vanessa.

"What is this?"

"A field spell. What else..."

"What's happening," Crow says, as the field spell travels much further than the duel field. It stretches through the entire theatre. "This isn't normal." The strings around their feet pulse slightly. They huddle together and look back at Vanessa. "Now I summon Blood Serpent to the field in defense mode." Her eyes are closed and she takes a deep breath.

Akiza whispers in Yusei's ear, "She looks nervous. I know what this is."

"What do you mean..."

"This has to be controlled; I think I know why she doesn't want to attack..."

"OK. I don't know what you did," Jack states, "but I won't let it distract me. So I'm going to get rid of those monsters right now before they become a problem. Red Dragon Archfiend, destroy her Blood Hound."

"I'm sorry Jack. Did I forget to mention the purpose of my field spell? It's not there just to look creepy, you know? The veins of the field spell are like an extra life support. It doesn't negate any of your attacks but it lessens the damage and sends it back to you. Then your life points decrease the same amount as the defense points of the monsters on my field. So I summoned blood serpent to the field and this monster has 900 defense points. Since you attacked me, you lose 2800 life points."

Red Dragon Arch Fiend hits her Blood hound and destroys it. She takes 300 points of damage, then it rebounds through the veins of the field spell and sends damage to Jack.

He grunts and kneels on the ground. The others step up a bit. "Are you OK, Jack?" Akiza shouts.

"What the hell was that?" He gasps.

"I told you I didn't want to hurt you," she whispers, with a dark look of guilt on her face. Lake runs into the theatre and stops in astonishment.

"Oh no," she gasps.

Suddenly, the ground begins to shake and cement from the ceiling begins to fall. This quake is much more violent than the previous one. There is a large crash in the distance and Vanessa shouts over to Lake, "The kids!" Nessa removes her card and the field spell disappears. She gets on her knees and as if she has felt an extraordinary pain.

"Where do you think you're going, we have a match to finish. She looks up at Jack and rolls her eyes, then stands and runs out of the theatre. Jack hops on his d wheeler and follows. The others follow him. She sprints into a near building.

One second later, a Duel Runner shoots from out of the building and lands with roar, leaving burn marks on the ground. They follow her and Lake is right behind them. Vanessa hits the roof tops with her duel runner as the quake shakes the satellite. Hopping from roof to roof, her hide out is in view. Jack, Akiza, Yusei, and Crow ride up to a different roof and watch. An apartment complex next to her hideout begins to crumble. She pulls out a card and shouts, "I summon Dark Gem Dragon!" A large dragon appears and flies over to the building, using its wing to prevent it from crumbling and the shaking secedes. She hops down into her hide out and wraps her arms around the crying children.

She is later joined by Lake and surprisingly, the other four. She looks them up and down, then up at her Dragon. "Dark Gem, get rid of it." The dragon disintegrates the complex with a massive flare. 'return," she states.

"And I thought you couldn't ride a duel runner. You looked pretty experienced to me," Jack scolds.

"Akiza," Yusei asks, "back in the theatre. You noticed it before we did..."

Akiza nods. "She's a psychic duelist."

LLL- Hope you liked. I'm a very second guessing writer, but I actually thought this one went good. Please, please review.
