This is the last chapter of Mission 0! And the end of the introduction to Limey Man.

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, or any of the characters/trademarks in those. I don't own Limey Man, but I do own how he looks in this fanfic.

R&R

ENJOY~!

Ryou looked at Amari, who was still making the call.

He wanted to stay with Amari and make sure he was okay, but Ryou knew he would be. And he didn't want Amari to know the he was Limey Man. He had to leave.

He raced out of the alleyway, but stayed a step to the left of the entrance to it.

A few seconds later, he heard two steps, then Amari's voice saying, "L-L-Limey Man? Wh-wh-where did you go?"

Ryou silently wished Amari good luck with getting settled into life in Domino City, then continued walking down the street. He reached the end of the block, turned the corner, and ran out of sight.

~Sunday night...~

Ryou was watching the news before bed.

The next story came up. It was about three Wanted thugs that had been found in an alleyway after a call from a 13 year-old. The 13 year-old refused to give his name, but said that they had tried to steal a rare card from him. He had refused to say what card it was.

Ryou's eyes widened. Could it be...?

They widened further and his suspicion was confirmed when Amari's picture showed up on screen. He was smiling with his lips together in such a way that his scar wasn't visible.

{"The 13 year old said that he tried to fight back by throwing some stale cookies at one of them, throwing liquid from a bottle on another one, and standing the third with chopsticks, all of which he had found on the floor of the alley. He claimed that he was terrified, but fought for his life. When he had knocked them all out against all odds, he had called he police."}

Not once did the name "Limey Man" come up.

Ryou smiled wide. Not only had Amari kept Limey Man a secret, but he had also covered up for him and what he had done to the thugs.

{"These three have been on the run for a while. They are alive and are imprisoned at this very moment."}

He turned off the TV and started getting ready for school and then for bed.

He was glad he had been able to help out Amari. He couldn't stand the thought or sight of people being bullied for their differences or weaknesses. It sickened him. He remembered how he had been bullied in the past. He had hated it. But that wouldn't happen to him anymore. And as long as he could help it, he wouldn't let it happen to anyone around him.

Ryou smiled wide. There was a warm feeling in his heart. He lived for that feeling. It was why he transformed into Limey Man and helped out in the city.

Even though not many people really cared about him, and some people didn't like him, he still did his best to protect and defend it. Because that's what heroes do, right? They be the heroes they are even if no one likes them. Just look at Batman!

At the end of the day, it didn't matter who cared or knew. What mattered was that he had done a good thing. And, he was that much closer to having made up for all the trouble his dark side had caused. But it wasn't just that, it was also the knowledge that he could help, and the good feeling he had afterwards that he had helped.

And that was the reason why he was Limey Man.

End of Mission 0

After this chapter goes up, I'll be double-checking all five of the chapters that went up today for any errors I didn't catch while speed-editing due to having to rush-upload.

Now a few notes about how this story will go from now on.
~As of right this moment, the moment I'm typing and uploading this, there are 5 Missions planned out (if you count this one, there are 6).
~There will be 3 chapters of each Mission: The Problem (before transforming), The Battle (as Limey Man), and The Aftermath (after changing back).
~Missions 1, 2, and 3 will follow this rule. Mission 4 will be a bit longer. Mission 5 will go a bit differently.
~Mission 4 will be in two parts, each with the 3 parts it should have, meaning there will be 6 chapters in Mission 4. You'll see why when we get there. Other than that, it'll go how the other Missions do.
~Mission 5 is an odd exception. We have a bit of a plot twist there, and the chapters of it won't go by when he transforms. Again, you'll see when we get there.
~Right after the OpeningAN or the first chapter of each mission, the title and summary of the mission will be stated.
~The summary for the fanfic mentions thiefshipping. Again, IT WILL NOT BE ABRIDGED. Nothing in here is. It isn't a main pairing of the story, and it is only mentioned in one Mission: Mission 4. Don't get TOO excited just yet. (wait until Mission 4 to be excited (^_^))
~Before you ask, NO Ryou is not gay in this fanfic.

I don't know exactly what the update schedule will be for this fanfic just yet. But I guess you should just follow the story and find out (^7^).
Also, I DO write abridged, and I love writing for Ryou and Bakura and theifshipping, so go check my other stories out!

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEE~!
