Here is the next chapter of Betrayals of the Heart, it is also the first fight and it takes place 9 years before the prologue so Diao Chan is now 19. And I will restate what I said in the last chapter. Everyone is in their DW 8 outift, if they don't currently have one then they are in their DW7, they also use their EX weapons from DW 8. I also have no idea what Huang Gai's or Sima Yi's new weapons are, can someone please explain them to me? Please?

This battle is in its DW3 XL version of the stage, so if you haven't played it you won't really understand. Except that Hua Xiong is replaced by Li Su. The reason this took long to update is because I wasn't satisfied with the first attempt so I redid it.

Assassin master ezio 91: Thanks! Well the wait is over.

AsteriaLumina: Thanks!

kayladw7: If that was the actual story then I think it'd be a pretty bad story. Thanks for reviewing.

.blossoms: This is a story and thanks for the review!

This was her first battle and Diao Chan couldn't help but feel nervous, she had very little experience in battle and while she was intelligent she didn't know very many strategies. She was worried she was going to die and her mission would be a failure.

Her mission was to drive a wedge between Dong Zhuo and his adopted son Lu Bu and get Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, she was going to drive a wedge between them by making them fall in love with her and telling lies to the other, it was working to some extent.

While she had Lu Bu under her complete control, Dong Zhuo was a different story while she gotten him to fall for her she hadn't gained him trust and as a result didn't have him under her complete control.

So Diao Chan realized the only way to gain his control was to dance her way through the field of battle. She looked up and saw the army of Sun Jian about to advance towards Dong Zhuo's main camp.

They were fatigued, Yuan Shu had refused to send supplies and as such they were weakened and about to walk right into Li Ru's trap. Feeling a pang of guilt, Diao Chan looked at her lady guards, they were her troops and made up most of her unit.

"Shall we dance our way into the enemy?" Diao Chan asked, she didn't need an answer and a few seconds later spoke again. "We shall wait until they have escaped from Li Ru's trap, that way we can finish them off and we'll have a better chance when they are fatigued and injured."

Diao Chan sighed and heard Li Ru's voice echo through the battlefield. "Like lamb to the slaughter! Hahaha fire!" She heard the screams of soldiers dying, it made her stomach fill like it was going to explode, she felt sick and as she opened her eyes she saw the injured troops stumbling their way out of the death trap.

Sun Jian was leading them, uninjured but still fatigued and weakened, Han Dang and Huang Gai followed him. "My lady, we are ready to attack whenever you are." A ladu captain told Diao Chan.

Sighing and closing her eyes Diao Chan controlled herself, inexperienced she may be but she had to try, she could nt fail the mission her father entrusted her with. She would do it, even if meant taking a life.

"I shall show them the splender of my dance!" Diao Chan said with false courage, she couldn't show weakness in front of her troops. "Advance! Let us dance to them until they die."

As Diao Chan charged she begun to doubt herself again. But she had to do it. "Prepare yourself!" Diao Chan cried sliding in front of Sun Jian, who held his hand signalling to the troops and his officers that he'll take care of this.

"Let us pass, we are weak and injured." Sun Jian said, but he still protectively drawed out his nine-ringed sword, Diao Chan debated with herself for a while but spoke. "I said prepare yourself! I am prepared for battle, are you?"

"Interesting! You want to fight me!" Sun Jian striked with his sword, the rings created a soundwave that distracted Diao Chan and damadge her as the strangely visible soundwave made contact with her.

Diao Chan tried to slash him with her chain whip but he dodged easily and striked her in the back, causing her to cry in pain as she rolled over and saw his sword at her neck.

She sniffed and cried out. "Please, do to Dong Zhuo as you did to me..." Diao Chan closed her eyes expecting the strike but it never came, she opened her eyes and saw that Sun Jian had already retreated.

It made no sense, she thought she was going to die then, she was thankful Sun Jian didn't kill her. But that didn't change the fact she had lost after only two strikes, but then again it was Sun Jian and he was famous and powerful.

Diao Chan then asked for an update of the battle. "Yuan Shu has been defeated by Lu Bu, who also defeated Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan who serve Cao Cao, Yuan Shao has been ambushed by Jia Xu, Li Jue and Guo Si and Yuan Shao went back to the Allies main camp, Li Su defeated Gongsun Zan. Cao Cao however defeated Fan Chou, Yuan Shao forced Dong Min to retreat and the volunteer force defeated Xu Rong and Li Su is requesting reinforcements."

"So theres 3 targets left, Cao Cao, the volunteer force and the alliances' Grand Commander Yuan Shao, we will take out the volunteer force with Li Su as they will be the easiest." Diao Chan decided.

Screams however were heard and Diao Chan turned around to see an officer named Jian Yong who served Liu Bei, who was the leader of the volunteer force kill her troops.

He spotted her and cried out. "I am Jian Yong, face me!" Diao Chan couldn't refuse this was her chance to redeem herself from her defeat at the hands of Sun Jian. "I'm more then just a pretty face."

Slamming her whip into the ground Diao Chan decided to make the first move, spinning she slashed her whip at Jian Yong who blocked it his spear, he tried to stab her but Diao Chan slid under the jab and knocked him to the ground with her foot, doing a backwards cartwheel to dodge his strike form the ground.

As Jian Yong stood up, Diao Chan jumped into the air and swung the whip diagonally, tearing though the cloth Jian Yong wore and leaving a scar. Diao Chan smiled, she was lucky and she hoped this luck would continue.

Ducking under his attack, Diao Chan made her whip wrap around his left arm, the one he used to hold the spear and pulled tearing through his skin and leaving large cuts. He cried in pain and dropped his spear. Diao Chan got back up to her feet.

Kicking his knee with power she made him fall to the ground, spining as one would in a dance, Diao Chan swung her whip and it wrapped around his neck. She smiled, Diao Chan knew she had won this battle.

Jian Yong knew it too and he started begging for his life. "Please, oh great beautiful one I don't want to die here, not now. So please just spare me and I won't ever get in your way again. I promise."

Diao Chan eyes softened and her smile faded, she wasn't going to take a life. "Ok." Diao Chan said simply as she accidently tugged on her whip too hard, Jian Yong's eyes widened with fear as the chain whip cut his throat and his blood burst out, gasping he glared at Diao Chan furiously before collasping to his side, dead.

Shaking Diao Chan looked at his lifeless furious eyes. She was frozen with fear as her hands trembled, she looked at the blood pouring out of his neck. She had just killed someone and it wasn't intentional.

Allowing tears to fall down her face Diao Chan collapsed to her knees. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. That wasn't meant to happen, I am so sorry." Diao Chan apologised to the dead Jian Yong. This was crushing her as the realization of what she had done came back to.

She cried pathetically on the ground, she had just killed someone. It was her very first kill and it was accidental, she had promised her heart that she would only kill if they deserved to die. He didn't and Diao Chan knew that she had betrayed her heart for the very first time. This was the first betrayal of her heart.

I know this was a short chapter and it didn't focus on the battle, but I promise that the next battles will be better. And the reason Diao Chan lost to Sun Jian that quickly is because she has very little knowledge about how to fight and he was a much stronger officer then her. I know this chapter sucks and Diao Chan was kind of pathetically weak but she will get stronger and will become more accustomed to war and she will get used to killing.

Anyway please review!
