BEBD: Whew! Here we are finally, the ends of my trilogy, Seto Kaiba's Twin! This one is called the Betrayal and shall be as long as I want it to be! MWHAHAHA!

Seto: And you are laughing evilly because...?

BEBD: I dunno. Maybe it has something to do with the pink gerbil sitting next to you.

Seto: Pink gerbil. Pink. Gerbil. Okaay…

Pink Gerbil: BEBD doesn't own Yugioh or any of its characters; all she owns is the plot.

Seto: AHH! PINK GERBIL! (Runs around screaming like a girl)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexander Kaiba was in the green tent. He was surrounded by his platoon. 4 men and 2 women. The commanding officer of the group had been wounded in battle and it was now up to him to lead his platoon.

Camp beds with smelly boots and pictures of loved ones were pushed against the walls of the tent. He pushed back his shaggy brown hair. It would've normally have been shaved, but his brother had put a good word in to it and a couple thousand yen (Japanese money) too. He took out a picture form his breast pocket. It was a picture of him and Serenity and Mokuba, Seto and Tea. Mokuba was sticking his tongue out and Seto had his arm around Tea's waist. Serenity was holding onto Alex like there was no tomorrow. In the army, there may not be another tomorrow for some.

"ATTENTION!" came a sudden voice. He stuffed the picture back into his pocket.

It was the general and his assistant. It should've been Alex standing proudly next to the general, but since there were two of the assistants, the older one took the position. Alex had only just turned 20, marking his 2nd year in the military. The other assistant was 32 years old and a veteran of 12 years in the army. He was jealous because the assistant was an evil bastard. He always took advantage of any oppourtunity to torture Alex. Anyway, Alex stood dead straight, with his chest out. The rest of the platoon did the same.

The general walked up and down the row of military men and women. Then he went back to Alex and told them all the news.

"Because of your outstanding performance in war and at snipers, we have decided that this platoon, led by Alexander Kaiba, will be guarding the president in his visit here in Iraq shortly. Now get dressed and look smart. You will be called out in 1 hour." The general saluted them and walked out. They all relaxed.

"Right, you all heard the man. Everyone will be watching this. Our families, friends," He gestured to the women,

"Boyfriends," He gestured to the men

"Girlfriends. Everyone."

"What about you sarge?" One of the men asked. Alex smiled at him.

"My brothers, Seto and Mokuba, Seto's girlfriend and my own girl. Now, come on, we need to impress!" Alex sat down on his bed, reminiscing. About the time he was adopted, being sent to military school, going back to Domino City, meeting Serenity, rescuing Serenity, Tea and Seto getting together, getting the fax on Mokuba's birthday and of course, kissing Serenity for the first time. He closed his eyes for a second, picturing her, but was jolted back by his alarm clock going off for some reason. He chuckled as he switched it off.

He got up and got into his best gear. He shined his shoes and made sure his uniform was perfect, showing his badges for managing major missions and leadership.

About 2 hours later…

Alex was standing close to the podium, where the president was giving his speech on how he was working towards peace, so the war would end soon.

'Doubt it. If it was gonna end soon, then Seto would've had me out of here ages ago.' Alex thought to himself. Then he saw something move. It was a gun and, by the looks of it, not one of his. He reacted quickly. He pulled out his walkie talkie and said into it,

"Sniper on the 3rd storey, move, move, move!" He saw 2 of his platoon go in on the guy, but shots were already being fired. He ran across the stage, dodging bullets, and threw himself at the president. They went sprawling across the floor, but Alex got hit. It was right in the shoulder. He howled in pain.

"Are you okay?" The president asked him, keeping low.

"Yes, Mr president, sir. Just get off of the stage; the secret service can help you from there…" He groaned in pain. He was losing blood, fast. He was going in and out of consciousness. The firing stopped and one of his platoon ran over to him.

"Sarge, are you okay?" The guy asked him.

"Do I look okay?" Alex managed. The guy called medical help and he was carried off on a stretcher, watched by the president. As he was being airlifted to a hospital, all went black.

BEBD: Will he live? Will he ever to see his beloved Serenity again? Will Seto ever get over the Pink Gerbil?

Joey: Seto? Afraid? Of Pink Gerbils? What's so scary about that?

Pink Gerbil: Hello.

Joey: EKK! IT'S SO PINK! (Joins Seto in the running around the room)

BEBD: Err… join us soon for the next chapter!
