Here is chapter 2 of Mission 1. In this one, you get to see another power that Limey Man has.
I'll eventually edit the 1st chapter with this information, but I'll put it here first. The story now has a cover! It isn't mine; it's from YugaMizuno on deviantART.
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.

ENJOY~!
Ryo looked around again to make sure that no one was around to see him.
When he saw that the coast was clear, he pulled one of the doors open and walked inside the school.
The building was dark and empty. All of the lights were off. The only light available came through the windows.
He looked around. He didn't know which way to go. All he knew was that the leopard was in here. And that it was a white snow leopard. He knew what those looked like. This would help him. He knew how he could find the leopard.
"Millenium Ring!" Limey Man shouted. The golden pendant around his neck levitated a bit. It glowed brightly. He closed his eyes and concentrated hard on what he was trying to find.
"Show me..." He opened his eyes. In them, a mental picture of a white snow leopard appeared. "...the teenage white snow leopard!"
The five points of the Millenium Ring stood up on end. A beam of light shot from each one. The beams were about two feet long. At the points where they ended, five beams of light formed between the two adjacent beams, making a pentagon.
In the pentagon, an image of the escaped snow leopard appeared.
It was in the hallway of the third floor, pawing and pushing at a swinging door that opened in one direction. The feline was on the side it swung towards. It couldn't get out!
Ryo gasped. He had to help it out!
"Millenium Ring!" Limey Man shouted. "Take me there!"
Two of the points stood up on end, while the rest fell limp. One pointed to the right, the other pointed up.
"Perfect," he said. He started running in the direction the one pointing right was leading him.
He reached the door he had seen the leopard stuck behind. The points of the Millenium Ring went limp. But when he looked through the window on the door, he saw nothing.
But he heard a sound coming from behind him. One of the points suddenly pointed at him, therefore trying to point behind him. He turned around slowly.
And there was the leopard! Only a few feet away!
"How did it get there?!" Ryo cried.
The leopard pounced.
Ryo dashed through the swinging door, holding it closed behind him. The leopard didn't get through.
He was breathing hard.
"How did it get there?" he asked aloud again.
Then he remembered that there was a similar door on the other side of the building in that same hallway! Because the hallway looped. The feline must have found its way around.
"That's it!" Ryo said. "I have to get around and try to catch it by surprise. But I had better hurry. He might go through the door again before then." He ran as fast as he could to the other door.
~Transitiony~
He reached the door and went through it.
But he stopped in his tracks.
In the distance, the leopard was turning the corner of the hallway. He had walked around again!
"Um..." Ryo said nervously. "Good kitty. Don't be scared. Don't hurt me. I'm a friend. I want to help you out. You can trust me." He knew how to talk to cats. Not how to really talk to them, but he knew how to act and speak around them the right way.
It seemed like the leopard was listening to him. But then Ryo saw a hint of wariness and alert in the feline's eyes. He walked faster towards him.
Ryo didn't want to deal with the hallways again. He had to get the leopard to calm down another way before he could try talking to it.
He had to let it come closer. He knew what to do.
The leopard walked closer to him. It was several meters away. It started running, but not fast. It looked like it might pounce.
Reading the animal's body language, Ryo could tell that the leopard wouldn't try to hurt him; only try to pin him down to try and gauge how much of a threat he was. But he couldn't be pounced on or what he wanted to do might not work.
He let the leopard get a bit closer.
Then it was perfectly close enough for him.
"Slingshot!" Limey Man shouted. He held up his left hand. In a split second, the Magic Slingshot on the left side of his belt shot to his hand. He grasped it firmly.
"Magic Tea Bag!" he shouted. He held out his other hand. A tea bag instantly appeared in it. He placed the small bag in his Slingshot.
He aimed for the leopard. When it was about to pounce, he shot the teabag.
When it hit the feline, it exploded into a cloud of dust. The leopard sneezed, then stopped in its tracks. It looked much calmer. It laid down on the ground in front of Ryo and purred.
The dust faded away.
Ryo lowered his Slingshot and smiled. He walked up to the leopard, bend down, and petted its head. "Good kitty..." he said soothingly.
It leaned into his hand.
"Now," he continued calmly, "we need to get out of here. I'll help you through the..." He cut himself off when he noticed something in the leopard's mouth. It was a card of some sort.
He gently pulled on the card. It was a Duel Monsters card. He recognized it. He knew who it belonged to. It was a card that one of his classmates had lost and had been looking for for about two months.
"You found this!" he cried. "You found her card..." He suddenly got an idea. He whispered something into the leopard's ear, hoping it would understand him. It seemed to. Ryo was glad.
"Now..." He stood up. "Let's get you out of here."
He led the leopard through the doors and stairs. When he reached the front doors, he stopped. They weren't locked, but they were closed. He didn't want to be seen, and he would be if he opened the doors for the leopard. But the leopard might not be able to open the doors.
He had another solution.
He held up his palm to the doors.
"Tea Attack!" he shouted. A burst of tea came out of his palm. It hit the door on full blast and pushed it open.
But just before it opened all the way, he darted out of sight.
The door opened all the way and locked into the "open" position. The leopard just sat there calmly and quietly. It looked at Ryo. He waved back at it and smiled, then darted away to find a different way out of the school without being seen.
Before he walked out of earshot, he heard surprised and scared gasps from the crowd outside.
Limey Man ran back to the door he had entered the school through. He stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
"I'd better hurry before anyone wonders where I am," he said.
[Reversion To Ryou]
Although the power(s) seen in this chapter uses the Millenium Ring, I want to make a note that Ryou can ONLY use this power as Limey Man. The Millenium Ring doesn't have this power; Ryo does.
And technically, although they work best when used together, the seeing and the finding are two separate powers. Ryo can activate the two powers separately at any time. (He does this in a later Mission.)
Next chapter, is The Aftermath.
Stay tuned for more Limey Man!
See you next chapter!
BYEEEEEEEEE~!
