Me: Welcome to chapter 3, and I've also included Sherry who hopefully will not kill me

Sherry: good writer *pats FTP on head*

Me: mummy *whimpers in fear*

Carly: when was Sherry this scary?

Yusei: maybe it's just FTP who's easily pushed around

Me: ummmm maybe but have you seen the sherry glare of doom (refer to chapter two beginning babble with characters)

Akiza: FTP *sigh*

Leo: hey me and Luna haven't been featured much in the last two chapters so the next one got it *leo glare of doom*

Me: YES SIR!

Luna: Leo don't bully the author and enjoy chapter 3 readers ^^

Carly's group wasn't the only listening to the news, the blonde duelist was also keenly following Fortune Thief feeling the thrill of a great duel coming up if she caught the now famous troublemaker. Sherry Leblanc hadn't felt this excited in ages but found the thief's recent exposure quite strange. Angela once again reported the events;

"Fortune Thief has finally decided to come in the open, a card was sent to the Mayor who is one of, if not the most powerful and rich man in the city. The thief will strike at midnight and so police are preparing to at last capture the infamous criminal who seems confident enough that he or she will evade the holders of justice in this town."

"It's too forward for that thief to do this, or has numerous wins gotten to her head?" Sherry thought.

Carly wasn't expecting this at all, it was a bad turn of events as regards to her plans but a very good one too. This open challenge to the police could yet come in handy.

"OH awesome we get to see the thief now and in person," Leo jumped all over the place in joy.

"Is it a good idea to bring the twins?" Jack questioned

"Leo would try to sneak in on his own and Luna would follow so might as well take both with us," Yusei answered

The police had allowed them to stay knowing how it was them who had saved their asses from the dark signers they felt safer with them there even though they wouldn't admit it.

The mayor meanwhile was for the umpteenth time was thanking them for their presence when suddenly all the police men started to collapse as a green mist descended upon them.

"Quick get out of this room," Akiza ordered

All of team 5D, including two officers along with Trudge and the Mayor got out safely from the room entering the giant foyer in mayor's mega villa and were shocked at the sight of their enemy.

He was a man, a very big man who resembled a bear and was wearing a thief's trademark costume with black sock on his head and matching outfit. Everyone in the room sweat dropped apart from the thief.

"Weird I thought the thief would be more…" the mayor started

"Elegant?" Aki helped

"Cool?" a disappointed Leo whined

"Intelligent?" Luna said sarcastically

"Subtle?" Yusei blurted

The thief just laughed.


At the same time the real thief smiled to herself as she had just easily cracked the Mayor's vault open and taken her prize.

"The sapphire is mine, now just three more to go," she said triumphantly

Fortune Thief couldn't believe her luck, a false thief tried to impersonate her and rob the Mayor, the man who held one of the gems of the Royal Dragon Ragnarok. He had made a perfect distraction and she could leave without being bothered any longer, she left her card in the gems place and then she heard him.

"Hahahahahahahaahahah, I am Fortune Thief the great, wahahahahahah, give me all your money old codger and ill spare you and you friends,"

She trembled in rage, 'Now, now, let him play he'll get caught anyway and your job will get so easy the police wont suspect he's not the real thief and for the missing them they'll think of accomplices and leave you alone…'

"Wahahahahahahahahahaha, how pathetic falling for the sleeping gas,"

"Then again what's stealing without a bit of thrill, it's no fun," she concluded heading towards the man butchering her reputation.


As the man laughed he didn't notice the sound of a bike getting closer and closer, Jack who was glaring at him as he had destroyed his fantasy of dueling a worthy opponent stepped towards him hoping that the man's skill was not as rusty as his brain cells.

Suddenly the door burst open and crashed the thief leaving all of the present spectators dumbfounded.

"That was easy," the biker stated

"Sherry?"

"My, my, destructive aren't we?" a feminine voice teased

"So the REAL Fortune Thief I presume?" Sherry asked smiling

The real Fortune Thief was wearing a similar outfit Carly wore as a dark signer although the thief's outfit had a thorn-like pattern rather than the hummingbird's hieroglyph-like ones. On her gloves there were blue roses on the back of each hand. Her face was hidden by her hood and even if it was down they noticed she was also wearing a dark blue mask the shape of a dragons head. She sat down legs crossed on the banister looking down at them.

"Why hello, Sherry right?"

"Nice outfit"

"Nice bike"

Sherry: dibs on dueling Fortune Thief

Fortune Thief: You didn't kill the imposter right? I don't like being in debt

Jack: o.O ummm where's Carly?

Akiza: weird haven't seen her since the coffee shop scene…

Fortune Thief: …

Me: Hope you enjoyed it

Leo and Luna: And as a New year gift there will be another chapter put on later today xD Read and review ^^
