Despite this and Rosenburg's threat to touch her again, Diana still wants to kick Rose Crusader butt. Let's just see if Diana continues to stay this strong and determined. Here's Chapter 5…

Chapter 5 - Prehistoric Rock

They came upon a boy about Weevil's height with a green cape, white shirt, and brown trousers. He was barefoot and had a White Rose on the shoulder of his shirt. Diana dismounted her horse and approached the boy. “You're the second Rose Crusader, right? Let's duel!”

The boy sneered. “So you're the Rose Duelist, the one who defeated Weevil. I'm Rex Raptor and my dinosaur monsters will crush you.”

They summoned their deck leaders. Rex's was a simple dino card that Diana didn't recognize the name. She wasn't a big dinosaur expert, but she knew a little about dino-type monsters. They were weak against fire monsters.

“I summon Big Horn in attack mode and move my deck leader one space to the right.” A triceratops appeared in front of the deck leader, which moved to the spot Rex had pointed out. Big Horn (1000/1000).

Diana was nervous. Seto's threat continued to come back to her. The frighteningly horrid way his hand felt against her private area scared her badly. She shivered, but continued with the duel. She summoned Kuriboh in defense mode and moved Val two squares farther away from Rex's monster. Val caught her duelist's frightened gaze.

“My lady, what is wrong?” asked a voice in Diana's head.

Diana blinked and stared at Val who stared back. “V-Val?”

“Yes. You are frightened during the duel. Why is this?”

“I…Seto…he…” Diana couldn't speak to her own magician.

Val's expression softened. “I will not let him do that again, my lady. I shall always protect you.”

Diana felt better and barely paid attention as Rex's Big Horn slammed into Kuriboh and then it attacked Val. “Val! I'm so sorry, I didn't…I should've paid more attention…”

“No, my lady. I'm fine. Our life point count went down by 1000. I have faith in you. I know you shall prevail.”

Rex laughed. “C'mon Rose Duelist. Don't you want my White Rose card?”

Diana frowned. She drew and summoned Amazon Archer and laid a trap card face-down. “Archer, attack his Big Horn!” The lady archer notched an arrow in her bow and aimed for the dinosaur. It was destroyed instantly and Rex's life points went to 2900. “Now attack his life points directly.” Rex now had 500 life points left.

Rex summoned Mega Stegosaurus (1700/1400) in attack mode. It was only 100 points stronger than Amazon Archer, but it destroyed her all the same. Diana cringed as that happened. It was only 100 life points, but now Rex could make a direct attack.

“Attack her deck leader!” the dino lunged at Val, but it fell right through Trap Hole. Rex gritted his teeth. “Oh you wanna play rough, huh? Fine then!” He summoned Mad Sword Beast in attack mode.

“I have to defeat him and get his White Rose card, Val. But Seto will surely come after me if I do and…” The memory of Seto's fingers digging for her entrance made Diana feel sick. Val gave her duelist a frightened look.

“You must be strong, my lady. I cannot be strong unless you are. We must win!”

Diana nodded. She summoned Beaver Warrior (1200/1500) in attack mode. Just as she ended her turn, Diana gasped. “Oh no! Wait! I wanted him in defense mode!”

“Too late! Mad Sword Beast, attack Beaver Warrior.” Diana's life points went from 3000 to 2800. “Now attack her deck leader!”

Diana felt tears streaming from her face when she saw Val fall again and her life points go to 1400. Rex was laughing uncontrollably. “Boy this easier than I thought. I'll play this face-down to end my turn.” He smiled wickedly. “You're so weak…even weaker than Weevil. You and your pathetic deck leader must go great together. Two losers in a pack.”

Diana's blood boiled. She made the angriest face she could and growled, “Nobody makes fun of my magician, hear me! NOBODY!” She drew and smiled. “I play the magic card, Ookazi, which does 800 points of damage to your life points.

Now Rex only had 100 life points left. It was time to take him down permanently. “I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior. Attack his Mad Sword Beast now!” The little stony, magnet creature flew at Mad Sword Beast and Rex lost the duel.

Rex grunted and threw his White Rose card to the ground. “I'm outta here before Bakura turns me to stone.”

Diana went for the White Rose card, but stopped. “What?”

“You heard me.” he said. “When the Rose Crusaders fail, Bakura will turn us to stone. That's what happened to Weevil.”

“But I saw him run into…” her voice trailed away. He must've been turned to stone when he ran into the forest, she thought. “I'm sorry. But he deserves it for fighting for evil.”

“Evil? Who the hell cares if the Rose Crusaders are evil or not?” Rex snapped. “Weevil and I just wanted a seat of power. Lord Crawford promised to make me a duke and Weevil a count once Richard III was on the throne.”

“Lord Crawford? Who's that?”

“Lord Pegasus Crawford, the man who created the Rose Crusaders.” Rex leaned over to whisper, “He's more the leader than Rosenburg, but don't repeat that to anyone.”

Diana nodded. “Okay. Why don't you come with us? We can protect you from—”

Rex backed up and held his stomach. He fell over and shouted, “Ahh! Master Bakura, wait…please, I'll try harder next time.”

“Oh no. I'll help you!”

“J-just defeat Bakura…then everyone who was….turned t-t-to stone will…live again.” Rex's body hardened and turned gray. Diana touched him and gasped. His skin felt as hard as rock and just as cold.

Simon came to Diana's side. “Damn you, Bakura. No one, not even a Rose Crusader, deserves to be turned to stone. This young man wasn't evil, Diana. He was blinded by his desire for power.”

“Yes.” Diana whispered. She looked up at Simon. “I will defeat this Bakura person and save Weevil and Rex from this fate.” She and the old Druid picked up Rex's body and put it in a ditch off the road where no one would bother it.

“Now what, Simon?”

“I think it would be best to meet the Prince in Bosworth. Let's go back to Milford Haven and make sure everything's in order before heading out.” Simon replied.

“Simon!” It was Diamond Dust. Diana gasped when she saw the pooka. The poor creature had cuts and scars all over her body. Hr tail was bent in an awful way and she was limping. Fearing for his companion's state, Simon picked her up and cradling her gently.

Diana ran over to get a better look at the pooka. “Oh Diamond Dust, are you all right? What happened?”

“It's nothing life-threatening, Diana. But…we were attacked by the white-haired Druid's men. We weren't out-numbered or prepared for the attack. Yet…the Druid used his magic to…summon monsters to fight with him. Seto arrived shortly after the fighting began and went after the Prince. I tried to protect Yugi, but…but Seto has a dragon and…I saw him stab the Prince…”

Simon saw Diana's face turn chalk white. “No…Yugi…” she murmured. She took the pooka from the Druid's arms. “Diamond Dust, please tell me he still lives! Please!”

“I do not know, Lady Diana. I left shortly after that happened.” She waved her paw and a golden dagger appeared in front of Diana. “Take it, Diana. Throw it at your opponent and no matter what…it will never miss.”

Diana grabbed it and attached it to her belt. She gave Diamond Dust to Simon and said, “Take care of her.”

“Diana, wait! Don't be reckless!”

“My Prince needs me.” Diana said, mounting her horse. She noticed Val was still standing nearby. “Let's go kick Rosenburg's ass.” Val smiled and nodded. She flew into the air and followed her duelist towards Bosworth.

--Yugi was injured by Rosenburg?! Grrrr…lemme at that Rosenburg!!! xD All right, all right, settle down. Maybe Yugi will be okay, maybe not…-gasp- You'll just find out next Chapter, won't you? To Mediaminer readers: the edited romance scenes are on FanFiction, but the uncut versions are here.
