Ryo: Okay, I'm pretty sure my friend Lucky Girl Dragon Wielder will like this chapter. Mainly because it has…I don't know…Yu-Gi-Oh? Enjoy!

Chapter 11: Ricky Blade VS Seto Kaiba, Yu-Gi-Oh Style

Later, Cedric enters a private room and walks over to a dark skinned man who is sitting on a huge chair. The man wears yellow glasses, white suit, white pants and black shoes. His name was Porter C. Powell, second-in-command of the Falcone Mob. Next to his chair are two Houndooms.

"Ah, Cedric Hoffman. You have return. How was your meeting with my boss? Lethal, I hope?" Powell asked with an evil smirk.

"Only his image and his voice. He fears to stand before others in person. He is a strange target." Cedric said sternly.

Powell's smirk turned to a frown as he said angrily, "I did not pay you to hunt him, but to kill him! I have been mistreated by Falcone long enough. Hell, he even refuses to pay me any bonuses for all the hard work I made to this mob! It's about time I show that no good man who is he dealing with! Perhaps, Cedric, I have chosen unwisely. Perhaps another bounty hunter could serve me better."

"You can find no one else who is better than me!" Cedric snapped. "Perhaps you have forgotten who you have hired! I'm Cedric Hoffman, one of the greatest bounty hunters who-"

"Was an easy prey to the slavers of my mob. Yes, yes, I know." Powell scoffed. "I don't care about your accomplishments in your life. I only care about the accomplishments you made here, upon the city of London. But if you cannot perform a simple task, then perhaps the red haired girl will serve me better. Will Vandom is her name, right?"

"You are never to talk about that girl in front of me!"

"Oh right, I forgot. You have a grudge on her. But who cares, I'm the boss of you anyways. I heard that although Will is beautiful and all, she is said to dangerous, and therefore perhaps even better than you. Sure she doesn't kill but if I persuade her by giving her a higher payment, she might serve my purposes, especially considering the fact that you are proven to be a failure!"

"Shut up or I'll-" As Cedric draws out his swords, Powell's Houndooms stood in front of Powell and growls angrily at him.

"Let me tell you again, Cedric. Kill Falcone and don't return until you do so!" Powell yelled.

"I never wanted to work your mob in first place after what you guys almost did to me when I first arrive to England, but I'm only helping you is for the money." Cedric said with a frown. As he turns around and makes his leave, he added, "And don't worry, I will kill Falcone. I will."

Ricky, Saber, Ben and Wall-E now stand in front of an old rampaging building that has two large red doors with a sign above them that says 'Las Noches'.

"Well, here it is. Las Noches. It is the most rowdiest night club in London but it is also popular because there's lots of entertainment inside." Saber explained to Ricky, Ben and Wall-E. "It is also popular because this is the place where most Duel Monsters players play their card games at."

"Duel Monsters? I heard that before. It's a card game where you strategically organize your monster and spell cards to build a deck and then battle." Ben said. "Cards have both offensive and defensive power, and the first one to eliminate his opponent's life points wins."

Ricky looked smug as he clapped his hands after Ben finished explaining. "Very good explanation there, Ben. For a nerd."

"Don't call me nerd!" Ben snapped at Ricky as angry veins form in his head.

"Whatever. Let's just get inside and hope we could find some thugs from the Falcone Mob and interrogate them to tell us where the Refugee Sector is. And we don't have to worry about the interrogation part since we got a tough chick like Saber to help us." Ricky said.

"Chick?" Saber said, arching a brow.

"Let's go inside." As the four entered the building, they are unknown that two certain brothers are watching them from a distance.

"There they are, brother. Let's attack them and bring them to Falcone." Loz said to kadaj. He was about to walk over to the heroes until Kadaj put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

"No Loz. Remember, we must wait for them." Kadaj said.

"But it's so hard to wait. I really just want to get this over with."

"No Loz. Still, we must wait. It is the anticipation, brother. Savor it. And don't worry, we will get our chance." Kadaj grinned sinisterly. "Very soon."

As the group enters the building, the whole room was rowdy like mad. People talked while some have arm wrestling contests. On the piano, a man named Snake Jailbird was playing and singing.

Snake: I like my town
With a little drop of poison
Nobody knows...

"Okay, be careful. This place is rough." Saber whispered to the others.

"Got it." Ricky nodded in agreement. As the group walks through the room, they are unaware that at the bar table, a familiar figure was eying at them while sitting on the bar stool. It was none other than Allen with his hood over his head. He glares at them while watching.

'They must be up to something. I just know it' He thought.

The group then heads to an area where many Duel Monsters card players are having their card duels.

"Ha! Now it's your turn!" A boy named Joey Wheeler said to Shikamaru Nara after he placed his Star Blaster card on the table.

"Oh God. This is so easy." Shikamaru said as he placed his Stardust Dragon card on the table. "Checkmate." Joey widens his eyes and drops his jaw in shock.

"You threw that card like it was nothing!" Joey exclaimed.

"That's because your cards suck!"

"They do not!"

Saber groans and rolls her eyes while watching Joey and Shikamaru arguing. "Nerds…"

"Hey guys, look! It's Seto Kaiba!" One of the card players yelled, causing all the other card players in the building to turn their heads at a man about nineteen-years-old with brown hair, blue eyes, a white overcoat, a black shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. His name was Seto Kaiba, one of the greatest Duel Monsters card players in London.

"Hey handsome. What's up?" A bar girl named Trixie Tang said to Seto as he walks pass her.

"Oh yeah, how about you throw me up some alcohol?" Seto said to her with a smirk.

"No problem."

Seto then sits down onto a table while the other card players look at him amazed. One of the card players named Nelson Muntz frown and sits in front of Seto. "You! I challenge you to a card duel!"

"Very well." Seto smirked. "Let's duel."

"What's so great about him?" Ricky asked as he, Ben and saber watched Seto in confusion.

"Are you kidding?" Ricky, Ben and Saber turned their heads to Joey as he spoke up to them. "He's Seto Kaiba, the reigning Duel Monster champion. No one can beat him!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! He's awesome!" Joey then turned to Saber and smirks mischievously as he asked, "Hey there, you're looking hot in that dress." Saber's response? She clenches her hand into a fist and punches Joey in the face as hard as she could. The impact knocked him and the chair he was sitting on and he hit his head on the ground. "Ooohh…."

"He deserves it anyway. He's an idiot for all I care." Shikamaru scoffed.

"I know." Saber said.

"Anyways, do you know Seto Kaiba? I heard rumors that he used to be a thug working for the Falcone Mob." Shikamaru said to the group.

"Wait? Seto? A thug? Really?"

"Yeah. Rumors say he was once some sort of elite member of the mob but now he quits the mob because he's more interested in playing cards then working as a thug but no one knows for sure. After all, they are rumors."

"I see." Ricky said. He, Ben and Saber looked at each other sternly. "Then I guess we'll have to interrogate him."

"You're so dead now. Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Seto said as he placed his Blue Eyes White Dragon card onto the table. Nelson drops his jaw in shock.

"Whoa." All the other card players said together.

"No! This can't be!" Nelson cried in despair.

"Sorry but game's over so you may leave." Seto said. Nelson then stood up from his chair and walks away. "Okay, next victim? Anyone?" The other players shudder and turn around and walk away. Just then, Ricky, Ben, Wall-E and Saber walked over to him.

"Oh hey there you three. What's up?" Seto said as Trixie puts a bottle of alcohol on his table.

"You're Seto Kaiba, right? Do you use to work for the Falcone Mob?" Ricky asked.

"Oh, so you heard the rumors huh? Well, to tell you the truth, yes, I use to be a thug. But now, I no longer work for them. Not because I love playing cards then working, but it's because I don't like them. I saw the way they treat refugees at their refugee sector. It's really harsh and I got sick and tired of their violent ways so I quit." Seto said.

"You used to work at the refugee sector?" Ben asked.

"Yeah. Why are you guys talking to me like you're interested about the Falcone Mob. Don't tell me you want to go up against them."

"Actually, we do. And we want to know where the refugee sector is." Ricky said. Seto chuckled.

"Alright, fine. I will tell you the location of the refugee sector…if, you can defeat me in a card duel. I may now be an ex-member of the Falcone Mob but I still do have a little sense of loyalty to them."

Ben and Saber look concerned. "I don't even play Duel Monsters before, how can we beat him?" Ben asked Saber.

"I will face him." Ricky said, looking determined.

"What?!" Ben and Saber said.

"Wall-E?" Wall-E added.

"Since when do you play Duel Monsters?" Saber asked.

"No I don't. But I use to play Solitaire with other punks at school." Ricky said. "Since Solitaire is a card game too and I am an expert in Solitaire then…I think I may play Duel Monsters too."

"So, what's it gonna be?" Seto asked.

Ricky turned to him and said, "Alright. Let's duel."

"Great." Seto said. He then stands up from his seat and yelled, getting everyone's attention. "Listen up people! I got another challenger!"

There were several echoes of "Another challenger?" and "Oh sweet!" among the card players in the room and they all gathered around Seto's table. Seto sits back down on his seat while Ricky sits in front of him.

"Here, you can have some of my cards if you want." Seto said as he places a deck of some of his Duel Monster cards in front of Ricky.

Ricky sighed, takes the deck and look through the cards. From a distance, Allen, still wearing a hood over his head, crosses his arms and watches Ricky and Seto duel. This should be interesting for him.

"We'll play by my rules and set life points at 2,000. The first one whose life points hit 0 loses." Seto said.

"Understood." Ricky nodded.

"I'll go first." Seto said as he places a card on the table. "I attack with Hitotsu-Me Giant."

"Okay um…" Ricky said while looking through his cards like a confused person. "I choose…" He places a card onto the table. "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the fortress number 1. And I attack with fireball."

"Kaiba 1800, Opponent 2000." A card player named Terrence (From Foster's) said, acting as the duel official.

"I should have started out with a handicap this size anyway. I'll attack with this card." Seto smirked as he places another card onto the table. "Saggi the Dark Clown!"

"Saggi the Dark Clown? Its attack strength is nothing!" Joey, who recovered moments ago, said to Ben and Saber as he watches.

"Your winged dragon's attack strength is 1,400 and this one's only 600. But if I combine with these two cards…" Seto then places a magic card onto the table.

"A magic card…" Shikamaru said. Joey nodded.

"Can you two stop talking like nerds?!" Saber snapped to the two boys.

"Okay okay, just don't punch me again…" Joey shuddered.

"My Negative Energy Generator will multiply my monster's attack by three." Seto said.

'Damn…' Ricky thought.

"I attack Winged Dragon with Dark Light."

"Kaiba 1800, Opponent 1600." Terrence announced.

"How's that?" Seto said to Ricky. "See the destructive power of a combo attack?"

"He seems to know every aspect of the game." Ben whispered to saber.

"I know. I hope Ricky will still win though." Saber said softly in concern.

"Wall-E" Wall-E said.

Ricky then picks another card from his deck and looks at it. The card seems to have a picture of a chained leg. 'Looks like I'll have to counter his attacks." He thought. He then placed a different card on the table. "I choose Gaia the Fierce Knight. It's destructive power is 2,300 and I attack your Dark Clown with Spiral Shaver."

"Whoa!" The spectators said in unison.

"Alright!" Ben said happily. Saber perked up and she sees this.

"Kaiba 1,300, Opponent 1,600." Terrence announced.

Seto clapped his hands mockingly and said, "You're getting good. The battle isn't over yet but the ending is already decided. Now, I shall draw out my signature card…" He places a card onto the table. "Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

The spectators gasped as he said that. Could it be…

"It's his signature card, the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Joey said. Ricky gasps.

"Oh no…" Ben said.

"I attack your Gaia the Fierce Knight with Burst Steam of Destruction!" Seto yelled.

"Gaia the Fierce Knight is destroyed! Kaiba 1,300, Opponent 900!" Terrence announced.

"What?!" Ben and Saber yelled.

'Damn it!' Ricky thought.

"Let me tell you something, I have two more Blue Eyes White Dragon in my deck." Seto said as he placed his second Blue Eyes White Dragon card onto the table. "Ricky, if you wish to give up now, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Ricky gritted his teeth and said, "No! I won't admit defeat!" This causes some spectators to cheer wildly.

"Alright! This duel is awesome!" Shikamaru said.

"Yeah!" Joey added.

Saber grinned. 'Such determination.' She thought.

"Come on Ricky, you can do this…" Ben whispered to himself.

Ricky draws out a card from his deck and reads it. "A spell card, swords of revealing light." He whispered to himself. "It stops all monsters on the field for three turns." He smirked. "Alright then, Swords of revealing lights!" He placed the spell card onto the table.

"What a waste. What good will a three-turn delay do you?" Seto smirked.

"I'm really starting to hate him smirking like that all the time!" Ben said, gritting his teeth and clenching his fist tightly.

Ricky looks through his four remaining cards in his hands. 'Damn, he's right. I can't see the meaning of the three cards I have.' Three cards in his deck are pictures of two chained legs and a chained arm. How can I use them to battle?'

"Listen to me." A voice said in his mind.

"What?" Ricky said.

"Everything in this world has meaning." The voice continued. "Just like the Millennium Puzzle, you struggled so hard to assemble."

"What Millennium Puzzle?" Ricky whispered.

"Oh yes. Just as you put those pieces together. Do the same for the cards. There is only one unstoppable monster in Duel Monsters called Exodia. If you combined all five pieces of the monster together, you have absolute power." The voice then faded in his mind. Ricky blinked his eyes for a moment.

"Weird." He said.

"Come on Ricky. It's your turn." Seto said.

"Alright. I'm drawing." He draws out a card from his deck. He reads it and gasps. This time, it's a card that shows a picture of another chained arm. "This one makes four of the five cards which that voice said to me."

"Take your time. Draw whatever you want. I'll win in the end anyways." Seto mocked. "I draw Judge Man, attack strength of 2,200 and I destroy your monster defense!"

Ricky looks at another card. It's the Dark Magician. "If my only choice is to hold a defense with the Dark Magician, only to be destroyed by Blue-Eyes, then I draw it to attack Judge Man straight on." Ricky puts his dark Magician card onto the table. "I attack Judge Man with Dark Magician."

"Kaiba 1,000, Opponent 900." Terrence announced.

"A loss like that doesn't even scratch me. Your seal is only effective for one more turn. And the card I pull is my third Blue Eyes Dragon." Seto said as he placed his third Blue Eyes card. "And I attack Dark Magician."

"Kaiba 1000, Opponent 400."

"That's it. It's over." Joey said to Shikamaru.

"I know." Shikamaru said.

"So Ricky, draw out your final card because in my next turn, your final card will be attacked by all three of my Blue Eyes White Dragon. The game's over no matter what card you draw." Seto said.

Ben, Wall-E and Saber sadly hung their heads. "It's over." Ben said.

"Wall-E" Wall-E added.

Just then, Ben, Saber and Wall-E looked up and arch their brows in confusion then they heard Ricky…laughing?

"What's so funny?" Seto asked.

"Seto, you're finished. I draw out…" Ricky then placed his next card. "Exodia the forbidden one!"

"WHAT?!" Seto yelled in shock for once.

"Whoa!" The spectators gasped.

"What the?!" Joey said.

"I don't believe this!" Shikamaru added.

"Alright!" Ben yelled.

Saber smiled and thought, 'Hang in there, Ricky.'

"I have assembled all five needed cards. And I attack all three of your Blue Eyes Dragons!" Ricky exclaimed.

Then, there was a moment of silence. A few moments later, Terrence coughed and said, "This duel is over…the opponent wins." The crowd erupted with cheers!

Ricky stood up from his seat and Ben ran over to him and hugged him. "You were awesome!" He yelled.

"Um…thanks." Ricky chuckled. Saber walks to him and smiled.

"Well…you did great. Yeah." She said as she scratches the back of her head.

"Thanks." Ricky nodded. Then Seto clapped his hands as he walks over to him.

"I never thought I 'll be defeated some day. Here." Seto then hold up a map. "It's a map to the refugee Sector. Now go and do your thing." Seto made a thumbs-up.

"Thanks Seto. And it was nice playing with you." Ricky said as he took the map.

As Ricky, Ben, Wall-E and Saber walked out of the area while the other players continued cheering and celebrating, Saber said to the others, "Damn, those players are really annoying…"

"I know." Ricky said.

"So how do you manage to defeat Seto Kaiba?" Ben asked.

"A voice guided me."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Saber shook her head. "You're getting weirder every second, Ricky."

"Anyways, lets go to the Refugee Sector and rescue the refugees." Ricky said.

"I don't think so." A voice said from behind the group. They all heard a click behind them and turned to see a bounty hunter pointing a gun at them. It was Slade. Ricky, Ben and Saber all froze in shock while Wall-E shakes frantically. "You guys are coming with me. Now go!"

Ricky, Ben, Saber and Wall-E lift up their arms, turned around and walked slowly with Slade walking behind them with his pistol still aiming at them. They couldn't believe this. It's all over for them.

"You there!" The heroes and Slade stopped when they saw a familiar boy yelling at a muscular man named Bane.

"Allen?" Ricky said.

"How are you, you big fat loser?" Allen then punched Bane in his face, making him fall onto the ground. Bane growls angrily as he gets up and he carries his table.

"Why you…" Bane then tosses his table but Allen quickly ducked in time and Bane accidentally throw the table onto another muscular man named Snipe (From Storm Hawks) instead.

"Oh! So you wanna play dirty with Snipe, huh?!" Snipe growled.

"BAR FIGHT!!" A man named Barney Gumble shrieked. Everybody in the bar then start fighting against each other while some start throwing mugs, tables and chairs all over the place. Ricky, Ben, Saber and Wall-E quickly ducked and a mug hit Slade in the face, making him fall to the ground.

Allen quickly rushes over to Ricky and his group and asked, "You got the location to the Refugee Sector?"

"Um yeah but…" Ricky tried to say.

"Then let's go!" Allen quickly grabs Ricky and runs out of the building with Ben, Saber and Wall-E following them from behind. When Slade got up, he saw Allen getting away with his bounties.

"Hey! Come back-" But before Slade could finish what he has to say, a man named Big Bob Pataki tackled him onto the ground.
