Of Magic, Tamers And Beasts Of Power

Battle of the Roses

Once again Yukiko found herself in another dream. Only this time, it was in a court room where that girl Alice was being tested. But she had a brave face.

Dream Sequence – Queen of Hearts]

"I’ll give you a piece of my mind. What kind of a queen are you!?
You’re just a selfish and evil tyrant who does what she wants." Alice said angry at the Queen's temper.

"What did you just say, girl?" The Queen said as she started to turn red.

"She called you a selfish tyrant~ ♪" A smiling cat taunted.

"OFF WITH HER HEAD–!!!"

The Card Guards went after Alice as she ran.

" It’s the Queen’s orders! Off with her head~!" A small man yelled as the soldiers made the chase.

Yukiko could not stand the sight of this, so she ran to see if she can help Alice.

Suddenly she caught up to Alice with the help of Charizard and Alice was surprised.

"Who are you?" Alice asked.

"A friend. Charizard, slow them down with Overheat, then Fire Pledge!" Yukiko said as Charizard roared and kept the soldiers away with fire attacks as they screamed in fright.

"Ahhhhh! A Jabberwock! RUN!"

As Alice and Yukiko flew off, they made it to a door.

"You should get going. It's not safe here." Yukiko said as the door opened.

"Thank you." Alice said as she departed for her home as the dream ended.

The white haired girl looked concerned. What could that dream mean?

LOCATION: Heartslabyul Dorm – Rose Maze]

The news of what was going on spread around the Heartslabyul dorm like a wildfire the next morning.

"Hey, did you hear? Someone challenged Prefect Roseharts to a duel!" One Heartslabyul student said.

"THE Prefect?! I can't imagine it. It'll probably be over in a flash."

"But this is the first challenge he's ever gotten. Let's go watch~"

In the Rose Maze, Yukiko was watching from the sidelines with Grim in her arms and Pachi on her shoulder.

She decided to have Steenee, Butterfree, Charizard and Primarina. And Persian in case.

Persian was at Yukiko's side watching Riddle with a hard look.

As if she sensed something was off.

"Acey and Deucey were guided by the Headmaster into challenging Riddle to a duel!? Are you serious?!" Cater asked Trey.

"I tried to stop them, though..."

"Geez, now they've done it... I hope this won't turn out for the worst..."

"Yeah..."

"Now then, I shall be watching over the duel about to take place here in the Heartslabyul Dormitory.
The challengers are Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade.
The one who accepted the challenge is the current Prefect Riddle Rosehearts.
Now then, please remove the collars in order to start the duel with no handicaps for both sides." Crowley directed to Riddle so they could have a fair fight.

"The damn thing's finally off...!" Ace cheered.

"It will be back on you in a little while, so I'd say you best enjoy it while you can.
Although, I almost doubted it when I heard that you had challenged me to a duel. Are you really serious?" Riddle questioned.
