About 30 minutes later, they were in the downtown area of Minneapolis near the Target Center. There was a beautiful apartment building with about 10 floors and Ginny and her folks lived on the 5th floor.
Ginny then replied, "Ready to meet them? They're nice people."
Kelly nodded and replied, "Damn right I am."
Christina then replied, "Me too, girl."
Ginny then replied, "Lets go then."
They all entered the apartment building.

later that day in the gang hideout, Bulldog was talking to Shade and everyone.
Sledge then replied, "Anything to report, Bulldog?"
Bulldog sighed and replied, "Just the same shit, but different day."
Just them, the back doors opened up and Zandor replied, "Master Shade would like to speak with you right now, Bulldog."
Sledge smiled evily and replied, "Good bye."
Bulldog then replied, "What did I do now?"
Zander then replied, "Follow me to his office."
Bulldog gulped as he walked with him and Sledge looked at Shane and replied, "What is this about?"
Shane then replied, "Nothing he's told me yet, Sledge."
-ooo-
About 3 minutes later, They arrived outside of Shade's office and he replied, "Ready for this, Bulldog."
He gulped again and replied, "Open the door, Zander."
Zander opened it up and he saw the leader Slade at his desk and he replied, "Good Afternoon, gentelmen."
Zander saluted him and replied, "Hello, sir."
Bulldog saluted and replied, "Hello, SIR!"
Slade looked at Zander and replied, "Can you leave us be for a little while? I need a private talk with him."
Zander saluted him again and replied, "Yes, sir."
He slowly left the room with the door closed and Slade looked at him and Bulldog replied, "I'm I in trouble?"
Slade took a nearby bottle of beer and opened it and took two gulps and replied, "Why, did you do something that got you in trouble?"
Bulldog then replied, "No, sir."
Shade then replied, "I want to intrest you in a promotion to my 2nd commander in line, Bulldog."
Bulldog then replied, "Really, sir? Why?"
Shade then replied, "Zander is my only one at the moment and I'll need more when we get more loot from this damn city."
Bulldog then replied, "I'd be honored to do so, sir."
Shade then replied, "You're not getting it the postion that easy, Bulldog."
Bulldog sighed and replied, "What do I have to do, sir?"
Shade then replied, "You have to duel Zander in a duel. If you win, you're my 2nd Commander and if you lose, it'll be a horrible thing to think off right now, Bulldog."
He gulped and replied, "I better get going and make sure my deck is ready to go."
Shade nodded and replied, "I think that is one of the best ideas you've had in a while. Get going and have a good day."
Bulldog saluted and slowly left the room and Slade then replied, "He's in deep shit now. Zander is one of the top duelists I know."

Later that afternoon, the girls were Ginny's apartment, waiting for her parents to arrive.
Ginny then replied, "What do you think?"
They looked around and it was a beautiful living with a huge grand piano as well and Christina then replied, "Beautiful."
Kellly then replied, "You are a lucky girl."
Suddenly, a tall blonde haired female and a tall male with brown hair and a well-shaven face walked in and he replied, "Hey, Ginny."
Ginny looked at him and replied, "Hey, dad."
She turned to the girls and pointed at them and replied, "This my dad Kevin and my mom Ashley. Mom and dad, this is Christina and Kelly, the girls that saved me from those thugs."
Kelly then replied, "Pleasure to meet you both."
Kevin then replied," Thank god you both came to rescue our daughter when you did."
Ashley then replied, "We need to give you both something."
Christina then replied, "As long as she's okay, We don't need anything."
Kevin went into his jacket pocket and took two cards and she replied, "He's one for the each of you!"
As Christina grabbed the cards, both was shocked to see another Stardust Dragon and a light counterpart of the famous dragon!
Ginny then replied, "Impressive, eh?"
Christina then replied, "How the heck did you get such awesome cards? They're really rare and hard to come by!"
Ginny looked at her folks and replied, "They can keep a secret, mom. I trust them both!"
Ashley smiled and replied, "What do you think, hon?"
Kevin nodded and replied, "I agree with her too, hon."
"Secret?", a nervous Christina asked.
Ginny then replied, "We're not from this world, we're from the future."
"What?", both girls said at once.
Ashley then replied, "She's telling the truth, ladies. We're from the year 2100 and we traveled from our timeline to now to discover a great evil."
"Which is what?", A curious Christina asked.
Ginny then replied, "We need to stop a gang called the Savage Beasts. In our timeline, they pretty much run the city and use anyone they find as slaves! In 2095, they managed to take half the city of Minneapolis over and then a year later, they took the whole damn city over!"
"Thats only 15 years from now!", Christina said with a gasp.
Kevin nodded and replied, "Thats about it. If we can stop them now, the future will a bright one. Our group is known as the Future Fighters!"
Kelly then replied, "You want us to be a part of it?"
Kevin then replied, "Yes and please, please, don't tell anyone about us. We don't need extra attention and it'll be crazy if we did."
The two girls nodded and Christina replied, "How many of the gang members do we have to stop now to save the future?"
Ashley then replied, "A person by the name of Zander Calbertson and someone name Slade Matthewson."
Kevin nodded and replied, "We also need Samuel Sledge Johnson and Benny Bulldog Jackson as well!"
Kelly then replied, "Thats the coward that ran away!"
Ashley nodded and replied, "Correct, young lady. The police already captured Rudy and that was a good star for the future!"
Kevin the replied, "The rest of wthe gang was sighted somewhere in this state and once they're all put way, this wonderful city will be a family city for years to come!"
Kelly nodded and replied, "We'll keep a eye and keep the secret a safe one, guys."
Ginny smiled and replied, "Its good that we can trust wonderful people such as you both."
Christina then replied, "How are all getting these rare cards?"
Kevin then replied, "Yusei Fudo and his friends wrote in a small book that he wanted to make sure their signer cards would be made to everyone someday and the Industral Illusions company in 2100 did so and they're only given out in tournament, but they gave our group a full set of them for helping out."
Kelly then replied, "Cool."
Christina then replied, "Can you all help me with something?"
Kevin nodded and replied, "With what, young lady?"
Christina sighed sadly and replied, "Can you find out who murdered Valerie Michaelson in 2073? She was a big part of my life and when she was takened away from us, it broke my heart and my dad's as well."
Ashley then replied, "Of course we can help you out. It make took a week or so, but we won't stop until we find as much information as we can, Christina."
She smiled and replied, "Thank you so much."
Kevin then replied, "You ladies want a ride home before it gets too late?"
The girls nodded and as Kevin walked them out, Ginny looked at her mom and replied, "Great friends I have, eh mom?"
Ashley nodded and replied, "You are so lucky right now to have them, Ginny."

Meanwhile outside of Lucas's work in their park area, he was enjoying the nice weather.
Lucas then replied, "Nice day."
Suddenly, a tall guy came into the park and he replied, "Hey Lucas."
Lucas smiled and replied, "Hey Rick."
Rick then replied, "You want a duel with the company's best duelist?"
