Yu-gi-oh
No Limits

Turn 10- Gold plates and Blackwings
Vanessa made sure to stay in the center of the crowd. She was afraid if security saw her they might ask her why she wasn't in school and then she'd be back where she started.
She fished her glasses out of her jacket pocket; put them on and read the words on the sign out loud.
"Coney Island Beach, I guess this means I'm close."
She looked at the piece of paper her with the instructions her grandfather wrote for her. According to her grandfather she was only a few blocks from an Italian restaurant called the Golden Plate.
She thought back to last night after telling her Grandfather about Chase and Damon she got an answer she never expected.
He believed her, as insane as the story sounded he still believed it to be true, in fact he said he might be able to help. He wrote down instructions and promised he'd take care of distracting her parents and the rest is up to her.
The Golden Plate wasn't a very large restaurant, nor did it look very nice, the gold on the sign was faded and for a minute Vanessa thought she saw a live rat in the window, but this was the address her Grandpa gave her so this has to be the place. She walked in to a loud, crowded, cramped dining room with waiters going in and out of the kitchen faster than race horses. She quickly seated herself at a table in the corner and looked at her instructions on what to do next. Ask for Tony, are the last 3 words on small piece of stationary. She carefully scanned the room, Tony could be anybody.
"What'll it be Ms?" The question nearly makes Vanessa jump out of her seat.
"Easy there, I just need to know what you want."
Vanessa looked at the waiters name tag, Sam, so this wasn't the guy.
"Um, may I speak to Tony please?"
He stared at her a moment, very intensely and perplexingly.
"Sorry she's in school right now, which is where I'd imagine you should be as well."
Vanessa's face turns red and she looks like she's about to panic.
"Listen I can explain…"
"Save it, you're not the first the kid who's played hooky because you need to see Tony. Now than head over to the board walk over by the beach and wait till about 3 there you'll see Tony dueling a Blackwing deck, most likely."
"Thank you."
"However I'd recommend you order something, I have the distinctive feeling the feds are watching the place and they might find it suspicious if someone just comes in and walks out without ordering anything."
Feds, the word flew around in Vanessa's brain like a moth to mesmerized by a flame which was quickly followed up by the thought "what the hell have I gotten myself into?"
Vanessa's fear had turned to boredom. She has spent the past 2 hours sitting on a bench watching the waves go back and forth. It didn't matter if she looked to her left or to her right no one who was dueling used Blackwings, she wasn't quite sure what kind of cards Blackwings were but she was sure none of the monsters she saw were Blackwings.
"Hey carrot top!"
A startled Vanessa is now looking at a girl with black messy hair, brown eyes, and an upside down triangle with rounded edges facility mark on her right check.
"Me?"
"Yeah you; are you Rudy Goldman?"
"No."
"I am."
Another voice came from the right of them; this one belonged to a tall young man who could easily squash both girls with his massive arms.
"Rumor has it you're the one who snitched me out to the principal." Said the skinny girl.
"So what if I am; you're the one who ruined the school pep rally the other day." Said the muscular boy.
"Big deal our Foot ball team sucks anyway."
"Shows how much you know!"
"Oh yeah prove it."
"I don't play against girls."
"Fine than do you duel?"
"A little bit, why?"
"Well way I figure it football's all about strategy so surely a smart and strong football quarterback can beat a little computer nerd such as me."
"Fine than, if I win you have to turn yourself in for every other offense you've done, and in the impossible event I lose I promise never to snitch on you or anybody else ever again."
"Sounds good to me now let's duel!"
Mystery Girl
"Lady's first."
"Ok, I summon Blackwing Mistral the Silver Shield (ATK: 100/DEF: 1800) in defense mode and my turn.
Rudy
Some first move, but don't worry I'll make sure mine is much more interesting. I activate the spell card Double Summon which allows me to normal summon twice this turn and I think I'm going to use my first summon to bring out Alien Shocktrooper (ATK: 1900/DEF: 800) and my second summon for The 13th Grave; (ATK: 1200/DEF: 900) Now Shocktrooper destroy her bird with Alien slash!"
The 4 legged alien monster ran and sliced right through the small shielded black bird and the skeleton was next.
"Now 13th Grave go in for a direct (4000-4000)! Hey why didn't you lose any life points?"
"Simple when Mistral the Silver Shield is sent from the field to the graveyard all the damage from my next attack becomes 0."
"Ok so you made one smart move but if football's taught me anything it's that Defense is useless without offense, now let's see if you can use offense."
Mystery girl
"You want offense, you got offense! I play Black Whirlwind, now when I normal summon a Blackwing I can add another one with less ATK points straight to my hand, next I summon Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame (ATK: 1800/DEF: 1200) now attack, Alien Shocktrooper!"
"Wow you aren't very smart because in case you haven't noticed Shocktrooper is 100 points to high."
"And in case you haven't noticed Blackwing Whirlwind allowed me to add a Blackwing to my hand and the one I added was Kalut the Moon Shadow and by sending off to the graveyard I can increase Shura's ATK power by 1400 (ATK: 1800-3200) (4000-2700) but it's not over yet because when Shura destroys one of your monsters I can special summon Blackwing-Gale The Whirlwind. (ATK: 1300/DEF: 400) Now Gale attack his bag of bones! (2700-2600)
Rudy
"Not bad, but not good either, I play Ancient Rules which allows me to special summon Red Eyes Black Dragon straight from my hand!"
Both girls watched as a large malevolent looking Dragon appeared in front of them, it's most notable feature, its teeth.
"Next I play the continuous spell card normal revenge. Now since I have 2 normal monsters in my graveyard and since you control 2 monsters I can attack them both! Now Red Eyes Black Dragon Inferno Fire Blast on both monsters! (4000-2300) "Now than make your final move because after it fails you're going to be in detention so long you won't have time to duel."
"We'll see about that."
Mystery girl
"I play Against the Wind! Now for the small cost of 1300 life points (2300-1000) I can add Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind back to my hand! Next I summon Blackwing-Blizzard the Far North (ATK: 1300/DEF: 0) now when Blizzard is summoned I can special summon Shura the Blue Flame!"
The chubby Seagull landed on the girls black duel disk, reached its beak into the graveyard and in a burst of light the large blue bird returned to the field.
"Sadly my Shura's going back to the graveyard but don't worry because now a new birdie's coming to play! I tune Blackwing-Blizzard the Far North and Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame in order to Synchro summon (2+4=6) Blackwing Armed Wing (ATK: 2300/DEF: 1000)."
The new bird on the field appears more human than bird and also this one has a gun.
"Looks like you screwed up, you should have returned Kalut the Moon Shadow because than you would've had enough ATK points to take out my Dragon."
"I'm not done yet because now since I control another Blackwing I can special summon Gale the Whirlwind straight from my hand! And guess what he's got a special ability to now I can halve the ATK and DEF points of your overgrown lizard!"
With no sign of fear the small purple bird flew up to the big black dragon and with a flap of its wings weakened the dragon to a level even it could fight at. (ATK: 1200/DEF: 1000)
"Now Blackwing Armed Wing shoot that dragon down, (2600-1500) Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind direct attack, (1500-200) now who's got to make their final move count.
Rudy
"Let's see you get past this defense, I play Scapegoat which gives me 4 Sheep Tokens in defense mode." (ATK: 0/DEF: 0)
Mystery girl
"With pleasure because you see when Armed Wing attacks a defense position monster all the damage gets deducted straight from your life points!" (200-0)
Mystery Girl: Win Rudy: Lose
"You tricked me you're not a bad duelist at all!"
"I didn't trick you, I am a computer nerd, and you on the other hand are nothing a dumb football player."
"Ok that's it I don't care if you're a girl!"
The large angry school boy ran towards the girl. She stood still and when he got close enough punched him right in the stomach, as he went down she lifted her leg and kicked him in his right temple, needless to say he hit the ground with a thud.
"Now get your sorry ass out of here while I'm still in a good mood."
Now no longer feeling like a big strong football player and now more like a weak puppy Rudy scurried off, to shocked to say anything. The girl turned around to see an opened mouth Vanessa.
"You're still here?"
"You duel Blackwings!"
"Yeah so?"
"You just got out of school!"
"Yeah so?"
"I know this is going to sound like a weird question but is your name Tony?"
"That depends, what do you want?"
"Listen I need help, do you know how to hack into Public Security maintenance Bureau?"
"Hold on a sec there Carrot Top, lets step into my "office"."
Within minutes the 2 girls were in an apartment over The Gold plate.
"So before we head to my room how did you find out about me?"
"My Grandfather plays cards with your Grandfather, I think."
She than got up extremely close to Vanessa's face and closely examined it for a minute or 2 before walking back, smiling and sitting herself down on dirty old red recliner.
"Your Wilfred Aaronson's Granddaughter Aren't you?"
"How'd you guess?"
"Don't take this the wrong way but you like him."
"Oh no I get… Never mind listen I need your help."
"Fine than, get talking."
Retelling the story to Tony didn't take much longer than with her Grandfather however Tony didn't seem to listen and it made Vanessa feel embarrassed when her story was finished.
"So let me get this straight you couldn't keep your nose out of some guys business and now he and another guy are in the facility."
"Basically, but what's done is done and now I've got to get them out, can you help me?"
"Well that all depends."
"Depends on what?"
"Depends on how you want to get them out."
I hate The Facility! Day 2 sucked, everything I do is monitored and controlled even when I pee! Also it isn't very fun taking a shower with 10 other guys.
What the hell there's an alarm going off and the cell door just opened!
"Chase what's going on?" Asked a dreary eyed Damon.
"I think we just found our way out of here."
Next Time: The escape
"You sure about this Chase?"
"No not really but we can't bet it all on this power outage."
Kai looked at me skeptically.
"My friend you got some big hairy cahoneise, if you make it meet us at this Tony girl's house."
"Don't worry I have bad habit of keeping my ass out of too much trouble."
After hearing Kai takes a deep breath. "I think we're a little too late for that."
