Yu-gi-oh!: The Duelists of the Roses- The tale of the Red Rose Duelist

Chapter 5: Return to England, the capture of the 1st Rose card

Mia and Simon immediately left Brest, France and headed back to England. They docked at Milford Haven and headed to Chester. Chester was quite a nice place with many forests and small villages. They headed toward the forests not knowing what was awaiting them.

"Mia, before I forget I must tell you that the rules of dueling here differ from your time. In this age we use something called the, "Perfect Rule." In which we use a deck leader to guide our monsters in battle. Of course you still control them. Let's just say we do this so you don't have to get hurt," said Simon.

" I see, I'm sure I'll be fine Simon. I've heard a little about it in my age," said Mia confidently.

They continued walking until they heard a voice,

"Heh heh heh, so you've finally come!" said someone in a buggy voice.

Mia and Simon looked around trying to see who said that. Mia saw a clearing in the forest and a small boy with glasses and hair like a blue beetle was standing there.

"Who are you? Are you a Lancastrian?" asked Mia.

"Ha! A Lancastrian! Hardly! I wouldn't side with them! I am Weevil, one of the Rose Crusaders! And you, must be the Rose Duelist, prepare to face the sting of my insect deck!" said Weevil.

"Fine, and when I win will you hand me the White Rose card that you have?" asked Mia.

"Ha! Only if you win! Which I highly doubt!" said Weevil with an evil grin.

So the duel started. Mia and Weevil unleashed their deck leaders first. Mia's deck leader was Birdface (1600/1600). Mia was surprised though when Weevil unleashed his deck leader, which turned out to be only a Basic Insect. (500/700)

"Alright! I'll go first" said Mia.

Mia took a look at the cards in her hand. Of course she hadn't forgotten about the perfect rule, Mia could only play a few cards in her hand. So she picked to set the Swordsman of a Foreign Land.

"I'll set one monster out in defense mode!" said Mia.

Her deck leader flapped its wings and a card appeared in front of it.

"Hehe! I'll squash you. I summon the Hercules beetle in attack mode and move it one space forward towards your monster!" said Weevil. "Ah and don't forget we are in a forest area! So my Beetle gets a bonus of 500 points!" said Weevil with a laugh.

Mia looked at her hand again. And looked at Weevil who was still snickering under his breath. She didn't have enough summoning points right now to summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon or her Dark Magician yet. Unfortunately nothing in her hand could beat Weevil's Beetle at the moment. Then Mia thought that if she changed part of the field to her advantage it might be easier. So she chose to play mountains.

" I'll move my deck leader two spaces to the space beside my monster, then I'll play one card face down and move it one space forward." Said Mia

Birdface moved beside her facedown Swordsman and a card appeared face down one space diagonal of her deck leader.

"Ha! Moving your deck leader closer to me wouldn't be a wise idea! Unless you want to lose of course." Said Weevil.

" I won't lose! Not to a jerk like you!" shouted Mia.

"Grr…you'll regret saying those words!" said Weevil. "I'll play a card face down too, and move my beetle two spaces forward in front of your monster!" said Weevil.

Mia didn't care though, she was already ready to destroy his beetle and seriously damage Weevil's lifepoints.

" Alright I flip my face down card face up and move it one space forward! Activate Mountains!!!" cried Mia.

An area of the forest was now replaced with mountains. And had reduced Weevil's Hercules Beetle to it's original attack points.

"Next I'll summon this! My Blue Eyes White Dragon! And since it's in the mountain area it gains a bonus of 500 points!" said Mia.

Birdface flapped its wings and a large blue-eyed white dragon appeared beside Weevil's beetle. The dragon gave a loud cry and turned its attention to Weevil's beetle.

" NOOOOOO!!! My beetle's done for!" cried Weevil looking terrified.

"Now Blue Eyes White Dragon attack Weevil's Hercules Beetle!" commanded Mia.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" cried Weevil in terror.

Mia's Blue Eyes gave a mighty cry and blasted Weevil's beetle away. Mia watched as Weevil's lifepoints went from 4000 to 2000.

"Argh!!! You'll pay for that you may have knocked out half my lifepoints but I'll make sure you and the whole house of Lancaster loses! I reveal my face down card! Infinite dimissal! And now I'll use it to freeze your Blue Eyes for 3 turns!" cried Weevil.

Mia watched as a tornado formed beneath her Blue Eyes trapping it for 3 turns. It wasn't too bad for her. She was still winning the duel.

"Next I'll play my cocoon of evolution and my larva moth together. And now in 5 turns you'll be history!" said Weevil laughing evilly.

"Don't count on it yet! I'll find a way to squash your cocoon!" said Mia.

Mia looked at her hand, this wasn't going very well. She may have taken the lead but if she didn't crack that cocoon soon she'd be in real trouble. Right now she had nothing in her hand that could help her so she just played cursebreaker face down.

"I'll play a card face down and end my turn!" said Mia.

"What a shame I thought it would be challenging to duel you. Don't worry I'll finish you soon. As soon as my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth emerges in 4 more turns. I'll play this card, which will wipe out a portion of your lifepoints. I play hinotama! Attack the Rose Duelist's lifepoints directly!" cried Weevil.

Mia watched as a ball of flame hit her deck leader. She felt some of it too and fell to the ground.

"Oh my Mia! Are you o.k?" cried Simon as he helped Mia to her feet.

"Yes, I'm o.k. thank you Simon," said Mia.

Mia had lost 500 lifepoints from Weevil's card. She was stilled trapped, and had to wait 2 more turns before her dragon was free from Weevil's trap. But she still had one more card in her hand that could help her, but if she played it, it would cost her all the summoning points she had. But she was running out of time and had to destroy Weevil's cocoon before it could turn into the P.U.G.M. So Mia played the trap invisible wire face down. She couldn't risk playing a monster at this point, Weevil might have something planned to destroy her monster. Then Mia thought,

"Wait I still have my cursebreaker card. That's it I can use it to free my Blue Eyes, but I have to wait another turn before I can actually attack. Hmm…I guess it's worth a try," thought Mia.

" I play cursebreaker! And I'll use it to free my Blue Eyes from your trap card!" cried Mia.

Her Blue Eyes was free but she still couldn't attack, for now anyway.

"Ha don't forget since you did that you can't attack on this turn!" said Weevil.

"I'm well aware of that," said Mia.

"Very well, I'll play a monster in defense mode to protect my lifepoints from your dragon," said Weevil.

"Well that's not going to help you! I'm about to end this duel! I play the Dark Magician! In attack mode! Now attack Weevil's face down monster!" commanded Mia.

"Ha you may have destroyed my monster but now you'll pay! You've triggered the effect of my Beastking of the Swamps! You'll destroy my monster but my monster will destroy your Magician as well!" said Weevil laughing.

"That's of no concern to me, you forgot, my Blue Eyes White Dragon is free now. And you have nothing left to defend you. Now Blue Eyes attack Weevil's lifepoints directly!" commanded Mia.

Her Blue Eyes shot a large blast of white light at Weevil's deck leader. Weevil fell to the ground as his lifepoints went down to zero.

"NOOOO I lost how can this be!? Wahhhhhhh" cried Weevil as he ran away dropping his White Rose card.

Mia picked up the card and looked at it. It looked like a Red Rose card except it was white.

"Mia! You were phenomenal! We've finally captured one of their Rose cards. Now all we need is the other seven. And I'm sure you'll succeed," said Simon joyfully.

"Thank you, it was kinda tough. I didn't think I'd actually win. Well…let's get out of this forest." Said Mia.

"Ah right, let's go" said Simon.

Mia and Simon left Chester and headed to the next placed where another Rose Crusader was stationed. Mia knew that the next duel, won't be as easy as the last. But she was determined to do whatever she can to help turn the tide in this war. And so Mia and Simon journeyed on.
