—I am updating at lightning speed…kinda… I want to scream now, but it's all good…I have Chapter 12 ready for reading and reviewing. I listened to Sting, then Linkin Park, then Nickelback as I wrote this…heh. No flaming my taste in music please. The music kept me motivated. Okay, so Diana's decided to duel Rosenburg, yay! And we know that Yugi wants to kill Richard….big plus for Prince Henry if he succeeds.

Chapter 12 - the Beginning of the War's End

When Diana explained where Yugi had gone, Joseph and Tristan immediately jumped up and volunteered to go with him. Yami told them to sit down and shut up. “My brother knows what he is doing. I want Richard dead as well for what he did.”

“I wouldn't be surprised if he poisoned King Edward himself.” said Diamond Dust bitterly.

Diana sighed and picked up the pooka. “I'm going to challenge Rosenburg now.”

Everyone looked at her speechlessly. Tea stood and asked, “Are you sure, Diana? Rosenburg is a powerful duelist.”

“Diana's the Rose Duelist.” Joseph replied, grinning widely. “She'll kick Rosenburg's ass from here to Spain and back.”

“I hope so.” Diana replied, still cuddling Diamond Dust. The pooka had become as comforting to her as the typical pet kitten that always butted its head against your arm and curled up in your lap. Diamond Dust didn't do those things, obviously, but she had that “pet kitten comfort” about her.

Yami sat next to Tea and said, “I have thought of an idea to get Rosenburg away from his troops and to duel with you, Diana.”

“I'm willing to hear it, Yami.” Diana said.

“Good.” Yami began to explain her plan. Diana and Tea both thought it was awfully risky. Joseph insisted that Yami not go through with it and instead, let him go and drag Rosenburg into the forest by his `damn slick hair.' Diana didn't need to tell him to shut up, because Tea did so for her.

—————

Meanwhile, Yugi's troops and Rosenburg's troops marched into battle at Bosworth Field, yet again. Ryou had snuck out to follow Yugi and give him some magical assistance. He called forth fiend-like monsters and ghosts from another world to battle side-by-side with the Lancastrian forces. The mixture of Lancastrians, monsters, and Margaret's knights was almost overpowering for the Yorkists. They nearly retreated when Bakura appeared with Richard III himself.

Yugi received word from Ryou's white pooka that Richard was here. He unsheathed his sword and ordered his troops to herd the Yorkist forces back towards the wooded area. Yugi intended to sneak through the forest and catch Richard in a sword duel to the death. His plan was working and Richard and Seto separated themselves from the troops briefly.

Richard was a big man with a head of black-gray hair and beady eyes almost hidden in the folds of fat on his face. He sort of looked like a bulldog and Seto took great pleasure in reminding Bakura of this fact.

“Rosenburg! What happened to my Crusaders?!” Richard growled.

“Your Crusaders?” Seto grumbled under his breath. He turned to Richard and said, “That Rose Duelist is more powerful than we recently thought, my lord. I assure you that I will capture her and take her as my own.”

“Damn right you'll capture her. I want to see her blood spilt at my feet. I want to see her throat slit by your sword. I want to see her deck destroyed by your dragons.” Richard snapped angrily.

Seto cringed. “I won't kill her. I want to take her again and again until she is nothing but my bruised slave. Killing her is something I will not do, Richard. Not even for you!”

Richard's face turned beet red from anger. “Rosenburg, if you don't kill her then I will! And once I'm king, you'll be the first person to test my new guillotine.”

Without warning, Seto unsheathed his sword and pointed it directly at Richard's heart. He laughed and said, “I never wanted you to be king anyway, Richard. You were my financial ticket to entering this war. You and that bastard Pegasus were so gullible when I promised to faithfully fight for you both. Well, guess what, Richard? I'm going to take the crown and make the Rose Duelist my queen. And you know where you'll be when this happens? Dead and buried under the manure pile!”

“Christian!” Seto turned and saw Yami standing behind him. “Why don't you fight me? Wouldn't you rather see my blood on your sword?”

“Ha! Yugi…I had a feeling you'd return for more pain and suffering. So does Diana still hate you, Yugi? After that brainwashed bitch told her everything about your brother, the poor Rose Duelist had no love for you anymore. I hope that did the trick.” Seto smiled wickedly.

Yami frowned, but was smiling inside. Seto had already fallen into his trap when he mistaken Yami for Yugi. “Come and get me, if you're strong enough.” Yami said, running deep into the forest. Seto grunted angrily and ran after him.

Richard fell to the ground. “Praise God. Damn that Rosenburg. He dares to betray me, eh? Well, I shall send word to Pegasus about this.”

“I don't think so, Richard.” said an angry voice behind him. Richard struggled to his feet and was shocked to see Yugi standing there, sword glistening with passionate anger.

“B-b-but…Rosenburg just ran after you! How the hell—” he stopped and his eyes widened. “Alexander is alive.”

“That's right, Richard. And now you will pay for what you've done. Draw your sword and face me like the loathsome bastard you are.”

—————

Seto continued pursuing Yami until he lost sight of the spiky-haired, young man completely. He slowed to a walk, holding his sword ready in case of an ambush. He passed by a meadow and stopped when he saw Diana standing in the middle of it. He smiled lustfully and sheathed his sword. “Well, well. My prize has returned to me? I could be so much better than Yugi, Diana.” he said as he walked towards her.

“I didn't come here for your bullshit, Rosenburg. I'm to duel you.” Diana snapped, readying her deck.

Seto stared her momentarily and then laughed. “Please, do you actually think I'll accept your challenge? I have to deal with a certain annoying Lancastrian Prince first, my lovely slave. Then I'll do with you what I wish.”

As he turned and started to walk away, Diana gulped her breath and said, “Too bad…because if you win this duel, I'll surrender my body, soul and freedom to you. I'll devote my life to pleasing you however you want.” She felt like throwing up now.

Seto stopped in his tracks and turned to at her body hungrily. “Oh I have waited for weeks to hear you say that, Diana.” He faced her and readied his own deck. They both summoned their deck leaders. Seto's was Rare Metal Dragon (2400/1200).

“Wow, I'm surprised your Blue Eyes isn't your deck leader, Rosenburg.” Diana said. She summoned Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in defense mode.

“I want to see the look on your face when I destroy you with my great beast.” Seto replied. “I play Lord of Dragons in attack mode.” Lord of Dragons was only 1200 strong and 600 weaker than Gamma's defense. But his turn wasn't over. “I also activate Flute of Summoning Dragon.” A golden dragon shaped flute appeared in Lord of Dragons' hand. He blew on the flute and Seto summoned Luster Dragon (1900/1600) and his Blue Eyes White Dragon.

“Luster Dragon, attack her Magnet Warrior!” The sapphire colored dragon shot a beam of bluish flames from its mouth at Gamma was gone. Diana and Val both gulped their breaths at the same time when they realized who was going to attack next.

Seto smiled at Diana. “Now…Lord of Dragons, attack her deck leader directly!”

Diana was surprised and so was Val. Her life points were at 2800 now, but they could've gone down to 1000 if Seto had decided to attack with his Blue Eyes. Diana waited for Val to get up before asking, “Why do you think he didn't attack with his better dragon?”

“I do not know. Perhaps he just wants to toy with us.” Val answered.

“Yeah that sounds so Rosenburg.” Diana grumbled. She drew form her deck and played Jar of Greed, which allowed her to draw another card. “I play Mystic Tomato in defense mode and one card face-down.”

Seto laughed. “So you're trying to scare me with vegetables now? That's so cute.”

Diana stuck her tongue out. “Y'know a guy like you shouldn't say `cute' because it's scary.”

“Make all the smug comments you want, Diana. But I will have you.” Seto drew and smiled. “I play Solar Flare Dragon in attack mode.” The fiery beast that looked identical to the one Diana used in her duel with Tea appeared fired a column of flames at Mystic Tomato, destroying it.

“Now you loose 500 life points, making your count at 2300.” Seto laughed.

“Thank you for realizing I can't count, jackass.” Diana snapped angrily. “But I guess I should tell you about Mystic Tomato's special ability. I get to summon a dark monster to the field in attack mode.” She left out the fact that the dark monster had to have 1500 or less attack points.

Diana summoned Black Cat Assistant (1400/1000). It was a female cat-human hybrid dressed in a long purple cloak and lavender dress. Black Cat Assistant also held a wand with a cat's eye on the top. “Now Black Cat Assistant, attack his Lord of Dragons!”

Black Cat Assistant aimed her wand and a ball of green light crashed into Lord of Dragons. Seto was down to only 3800 life points. But Black Cat Assistant had a special ability. “And now, I exchange a mere 400 life points so that my Black Cat can attack your deck leader directly.” Seto clenched his teeth behind his lips as Black Cat Assistant attacked Rare Metal Dragon, making his life points go to 2400.

“My life points are at 1900, Val. We can win this, I know it.” Diana said. The magician turned and nodded to her duelist.

They both turned towards their opponent when they realized he was laughing. Diana cocked an eyebrow and asked, “What's so funny, Rosenburg?”

Seto finally stopped laughing and said, “You've been playing right into my hands, Diana. How I love that about you…so beautiful and so gullible. And soon to be so mine.”

“The hell are you talking about, Rosenburg?”

“What makes you think I have one Blue Eyes White Dragon?”

Diana's heart stopped. “M-more than one…”

“Oh I love it when you voice trembles with fear.” Seto drew and activated Pot of Greed and drew two more cards. “Now I activated my second Flute of Summoning Dragon. Now I can summon two more Blue Eyes to my field.”

Diana gaped in shock, silence and horror as two more Blue Eyes appeared with the first. They all looked so similar to her own, but Diana would always recognize the kindly aura around her Dragon that these…monsters would never have. Seto also activated Polymerization and fused his three Blue Eyes White Dragons together.

Now Diana was staring into the three faces of a huge bluish white dragon that was twice the size of an ordinary Blue Eyes. Her precious Dragon was a midget compared to that thing. Seto smiled at the frightened look on Diana's face. “Diana, I want you to be the first person to see and be defeated by my most powerful beast. The legendary Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!” Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800).

“Blue Eyes Ultimate, attack her pitiful kitty cat!” Seto bellowed and all three heads shot a beam of blue-white light.

Suddenly, Val flew between them and cancelled out the Ultimate Dragon's attack. Seto blinked. “What the hell? How did she do that?!”

“Valkyria's special ability won't allow you to attack other spellcaster monsters.” Diana said.

Seto frowned hard. “Damn you…worthless whore. Oh well…Solar Flare Dragon is still on the field and that means that since my turn is over, you loose another 500 life points.”

With 1400 life points, Diana could loose the duel with one breath from that Ultimate Dragon. But so long as Val was her deck leader, Diana's spellcaster monsters were safe. I do have one card in my deck that can stop that thing, she thought. It's a powerful ritual card that not a whole lot of duelists have.

“Val, I think I can stop Rosenburg if I draw Blue Eyes Guardian Ritual.”

“Draw it, my lady. I know you will. What does the card require?”

Diana fidgeted a little. “That's the bad part. It requires that I sacrifice Dark Magician Girl and Blue Eyes White Dragon in order to work. But I don't know where either card is in my deck.”

Val tightened her grip on her staff. “Draw them, my lady. If you summon Dark Magician Girl then I shall protect her.”

Diana nodded. I will, she thought, I must…or Rosenburg gets everything. He'll get the throne, my sweet Dragon…and me…

—I made up Black Cat Assistant. Sounds like a cool card though, huh? Well…Diana has one Blue Eyes and Seto has three, which he combined into Blue Eyes Ultimate. (I love Ultimate Dragon…I have the Japanese version of that card and it's so pretty!) I'm a dragon freak, go away…xP - Diana loves her dragons too, but she has a special place for Valkyria, obviously. Now, will she draw the right cards and defeat Rosenburg? Who knows…dude, this sounds like that one episode from the show where Yugi is facing Kaiba on Pegasus's castle. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I'd rather own the Japanese Yuugiou instead...! -dies laughing-
