—Rizu brings another Chapter. Yay! Rizu's going to shut up now…anyways, to the fanfic…Diana needs to draw the right cards in order to kick bad guy ass. How much you wanna bet she draws them and defeats Rosenburg? Oh and I bet you can't guess who actually killed Yugi's father. (FYI: the title of the Chapter speaks for itself.)

Chapter 13 - Guardian Mage and Satisfied Revenge

Richard laughed at the Prince. “So, you're showing some backbone, Prince? Only Edward's son would show this sort of strength when it matters most.” He clapped his big, spongy hands. “Well done, your Majesty.”

Yugi spat and gripped his sword tightly. “Spare me your praise, Richard. I've come to kill you for framing me.”

“Yes…that's right. Blaming you for my murderous deed was brilliant wasn't it?”

The Prince's eyes widened. “Y-y-you killed my father…”

“That's right, boy. I poisoned your father's food and made sure my servant placed the evidence in your room. It was so simple and I loved doing it too. Unfortunately, had I known this damn war would erupt—”

“Of course a war would start, fool! My brother is a Yorkist!”

Richard stared in shock and disbelief at Yugi. “So…that's why my fellow Yorkists got involved. Alexander is a Yorkist.”

“That's right, Richard.” Yami came out of the shadows of the forest. “I am a Yorkist. With me supposedly gone, you were the next in line for the race to the throne. But my brother was named the rightful heir long before the poison touched our father's lips.”

Richard frowned hard at him. “Alexander, so glad to see you still alive. What exactly did you do with Rosenburg?”

Yami smirked. “I only lured him away from you, Richard. The Rose Duelist will make short work of him.”

“Ha! You think so? You both believe your precious Rose Duelist will succeed? I don't think so, Princes. Seto has a dragon that is three times more powerful than the Blue Eyes White Dragon. It is called the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and it is the strongest monster I have ever seen. There is no hope for your little Duelist.”

Yugi gritted his teeth. “Yami, go check on Diana! If Seto wins, he'll try to rape her or worse.” Yami nodded and ran off. Richard finally sheathed his sword, which looked like a toothpick in his hand.

Meanwhile, Diana touched her deck, ready to draw her next card. Her Blue Eyes Guardian Ritual card was her last hope. No way in Heaven or Hell I'm gonna let Rosenburg have my body, Diana thought as she shuddered at the memory of Seto straddling her hips when he was completely nude. I'd rather see Henry—oh damn…

Diana shook her head, blushing furiously. Diana, you nasty bitch…don't think that stuff. She took a couple deep breaths and looked up again at the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It growled wickedly at her and waved its huge tail back and forth, waiting and wanting to attack. Seto looked just as impatient as his Dragon.

Diana drew and nearly squealed at what she held. “I activate Graceful Charity! It allows me to draw three cards as long as I discard two.” Diana drew three cards and looked at them. She smiled. “I play Dark Magician Girl in attack mode to destroy your Solar Flare Dragon!”

Dark Magician Girl appeared beside Black Cat Assistant and shot a pinkish beam of light at Solar Flare Dragon. Seto's life points were now at 1900. Diana's life points went down to 1000 when she activated Black Cat Assistant's special ability and brought Seto's life points to 500.

“Val! Once I get around his Ultimate Dragon, I'll win!” Diana said happily to her deck leader.

Val and Dark Magician Girl gave each other a high-five. “We believe in you, my lady.”

“Your turn, Rosenburg. Oh and don't bother attacking my mages. Not only will Valkyria's special ability protect Dark Magician Girl and Black Cat Assistant, but Val's my deck leader and therefore, she can't be destroyed.”

Rosenburg laughed. “You fool! Have you forgotten that your Valkyria represents your life points? You must have if you're going to risk her safety to save your other pathetic magicians.”

Diana's face went pale. Val was at the front line of her magician troops which meant that Diana was a goner. I have to think of something quick, she thought, but what? A head of spiky red, black and gold hair caught her eye. She turned and saw Yami standing at the edge of the meadow. He was watching both Diana and Rosenburg.

Diana turned back to Seto as he drew and said, “Go my Ultimate Dragon and attack her deck leader directly! Make the Rose Duelist my prize!” Ultimate Dragon shot three beams of light, which all merged into one and aimed directly for Val.

“Activate Black Cat Assistant's final special ability!” Diana shouted. Before the Dragon's attack hit Val, thousands upon thousands of little black kittens wearing witch hats popped up out of thin air to form a wall of protection against the attack.

Yami leaned against a nearby tree and laughed. “It looks like your Dragon was stopped by an army of kittens, Rosenburg.”

Seto growled at him. “Alexander…I should have known you were still alive.” He clenched his hands into fists. “Damn furballs…”

Diana laughed too. “Looks like your Dragon isn't all that scary anymore Seto. I personally think the army of chibi kittens is kinda cute, but effective.” Now that it was her turn again, Diana drew and jumped up and down with glee.

“Here's a creature you might remember, Rosenburg. I call forth my precious Blue Eyes White Dragon!” Diana said. Her own Dragon appeared and Yami was surprised at how small such a mighty creature looked compared to its fusion counterpart.

“Now I'll activate the card, Blue Eyes Guardian Ritual!” Diana held up the card and the sky turned dark and the clouds swirled above. “I offer Dark Magician Girl and my Blue Eyes White Dragon up to summon the most powerful mage in the world!”

Dark Magician Girl flew upward and Blue Eyes began to glow a brilliant blue light. The Dragon transformed into a streak of light and it spun around Dark Magician Girl faster and faster until the streak melted into the magician. When the light faded, there appeared an entirely different entity. She was a tall young lady with pale skin and bluish white hair with crystal blue eyes. She wore a sky blue breast plate and a white skirt with a cape that matched her breast plate color. She carried a book with a picture of the Blue Eyes on it.

“Rosenburg, this magician will seal your fate. This is my ultimate creature and she is known as the Blue Eyes Guardian Mage.” Diana frowned at him. Although she was tickled pink to see Seto cowering in fear. He must've felt the same way when she first laid eyes on his Ultimate Dragon.

Yugi and Richard took their stands and Yugi charged at Richard and swung his sword, aiming to slash at Richard's big belly. But Richard blocked his slicing move. Yugi jumped back, whirled around and aimed for Richard's leg. Yet again, Richard blocked his attack. Yugi sheathed a dagger from his belt and stabbed at Richard's crotch. The big man took his sword up and slammed the hilt into Yugi's head. The Prince fell, partly unconscious and his head bleeding freely.

Richard laughed. “Didn't your father ever teach you how to fight, Henry? Or was he too busy teaching you how to rule with kindness and justice. Damned fool, Edward was. I will rule the British Empire with an iron fist! I shall make France and Spain and all of Europe fear my very name! Britain will be the most powerful country in the world.”

Yugi regained consciousness in time to roll out of the way of Richard's sword stab. Yugi got to his feet, dizzy from his head wound. He charged in a zigzagging motion at Richard and slashed left, right left like a crazed person. Richard blocked each advance, laughing as he did so. Yugi became a flurry of attacks. Fist, foot, sword, dagger, teeth…anything to injure or kill Richard. But his anger combined with the dizziness from his wound and remorse for his father made Yugi fall over backwards in pain.

Richard walked over to the Prince and stepped on his foot, putting all his weight into it. Yugi screamed bloody murder as Richard then slammed his heel into his knee, snapping it like a twig. Richard suddenly stopped as he heard the retreat order being given. That sounded like one of his commanding officers!

“Bloody Lancastrians…well, no matter.” Richard whispered to himself, watching Yugi twitch in pain. Richard slammed his sword directly into Yugi's stomach. The Prince's eyes bulged as he retched with his own blood.

Richard twisted his sword round and round, making Yugi scream in pain and his eyes tear. “Die painfully slow, Prince…just like your fa—” Richard stopped and released his sword to clutch at the wound in his side. Yugi's sword had found its target. Yugi left his life slipping away. I won't leave this world without seeing Diana one more time, he thought.

He removed his sword from Richard's side and Richard's sword from his stomach. Blood stained his clothes and the ground as Yugi struggled to his feet. Before the final blow, Yugi gurgled, “This…is for…my father…” And off went Richard's head.

Seto recovered his wits quickly. He smiled at Diana. “You overlooked one thing, my dear. Your mage and my Dragon are equal in power with 4500 attack points each. They'll just end up destroying each other and this duel will end in a draw.”

“Not when I use my Mage's special ability. It allows her to gain a 300 point power boost from every card with the word “dragon” in the title. So that means two Flute of Summoning Dragon cards, Solar Flare Dragon, Luster Dragon, your deck leader, Blue Eyes Ultimate, and Lord of Dragons…wow, Seto, that's an extra 2100 attack points. Which means Guardian Mage is now 6600 attack points strong! Say goodbye to your little Dragon!”

Rosenburg jumped backwards. “No! You can't! Please, Diana!”

“Too late, you jerk. This is finally payback for violating me, Christian Rosenburg. Guardian Mage, attack his Ultimate Dragon!” Guardian Mage aimed her book and a huge burst of rainbow light smashed into Blue Eyes Ultimate and destroyed it easily. The shockwaves from the blast made Seto fly three feet before falling to the ground in a defeated heap.

Diana jumped up and hugged Val. “We did it! We did it, Val! You were right!”

“Yes, yes, yes! I knew you would be triumphant, my lady!” Val said excitedly.

Guardian Mage flew down to join their celebrating. Diana clung to her Guardian Mage. “Thank you so much, Guardian. You were wonderful.”

“You are welcome, Diana.” the Guardian Mage said in a soft, gentle voice. It reminded Diana of how her mother used to speak to her.

Yami wandered over towards Seto, but stopped when he saw Bakura and Ryou approach too. Seto struggled to his feet and Bakura laughed at him.

“By your own decree, Rosenburg…you, a Rose Crusader, must now turn to stone.”

Rosenburg took a step back. He frowned hard at the Druid. “You dare to speak that way to your master?! I saved your Bakura and you still owe me.”

Bakura put an arm around Ryou's waist. “With my love at my side again, I don't need you Rosenburg.” The Druid's eyes glowed and Seto's body turned gray and hard.

Diana smiled. “Well, at least you two are together. I'm happy for you both; despite how much I dislike you, Bakura.”

The Druid snorted. “And here I thought you'd thank me for releasing those two idiots from their stone fate.”

“Two idiots…you mean Rex and Weevil? You freed them?”

“I'm not without a heart. It's a cold one, but still a heart.” Bakura replied.

“Rose Duelist!” Diana was partly surprised to see Rex come forward, but her eyes widened when she saw Simon with him and both of them carrying a bloody, half-dead Yugi. Yami was immediately concerned and made them put his brother down. He held his brother and said, “Yugi! Brother, please don't leave me.”

Yugi stared up at his twin and smiled. “Alex…Father was poisoned by Richard…just as Diamond Dust suspected.” He winced at the pain in his stomach. “Alex, Father has been…avenged. Richard is dead. The war...it's finally over. We won…”

Diana ran to them and knelt down. “Henry…”

Yugi turned to look at her. “Angel, did you…defeat Seto?”

Diana nodded and clutched his hand. Yugi smiled and held her hand as tightly as his fading strength would allow. “I will…never forget you…Angel. You have…meant the world…to me.”

“Henry…it'll be okay. We'll get you some medical help. It'll be okay…it'll…” Her voice trailed away as his eyes closed and his grip slackened to nothing. She released his hand and crawled back in shocked sadness.

“Henry!” Yami shook his brother gently. Tears rained from his eyes as he cuddled his brother close. “My brother…my innocent brother…”

Diamond Dust, Liam, Tea, Joseph and Tristan came into the meadow just as Bakura and Ryou had left. Simon told them not to get any closer. Diamond Dust and Liam went to Diana.

“Diana?” Diamond Dust said. She saw Yami holding Henry's dead body and gasped. “Oh dear Lord, please…”

“Diamond Dust…” Diana sobbed. She picked up the pooka and buried her face in the creature's fur. “He's gone…”

Tea covered her mouth to silence her gasp. Tears pricked at her eyes as Joseph said in a low voice, “The last Prince of Lancaster is dead.”

Diana shook her head as she continued to cry into Diamond Dust's fur. He can't be gone, she thought. Oh Yugi…this can't be how it's supposed to end. It just can't be…

—No! I can't kill Yugi! I can't! Or…can I? Mwhahaha! Uh…yeah, um, Rizu is hyped up on Mountain Dew and needs to get that energy out into the next Chapter…so bye for now!
