Ch. 9 A Rogue Knight
"I demand to speak to Asuka!" a knight with brown hair and hazel eyes said as he entered the throne room in Geo Kingdom.
"She isn't here." the Queen replied.
"Then where is she?" the knight question.
"She's over at Yami Palace courting with King Judai." the King replied. "Soon, they are to marry."
"What?" the knight gasped before running out of the palace. 'I must stop this.'
"Who was that?" the Queen asked as the knight exited the palace."
"I don't know." the King responded. "However, we still need have more work to do on the wedding plans for Judai and Asuka." With that said, the King and Queen of Geo Kingdom set back to work on the plans for Judai's and Asuka's weddings.
Asuka sneezed as she and Judai were talking different Duel Monster strategies in the throne room. "Looks like someone is talking about you." Judai said with a smirk.
"Probably my parents coming up with wedding plans." Asuka said with a groan. Judai let out a groan himself upon hearing that.
"They never learn." Judai said with a sigh.
"Tell me about it." Asuka said as she got up. "Anyway, it's getting late. We should get some sleep." Judai nodded before the two of them went to their rooms to get some sleep.
"Have I ever mentioned that your chefs make everything better then my own?" Asuka asked as she, Judai, Fubuki, and Ryo at lunch in the dinning room.
"No." Judai said. "You never have."
"Well, they do." Asuka said. "They even make a simple salad taste better then any of the chefs at Geo Kingdom can."
"I think you've spoiled her." Fubuki said as Asuka continued to eat.
"She isn't the only one that has become spoiled." Ryo said as he ate. "If we have to return to Geo Kingdom, we might have to steal a couple of your chefs so they can teach our own chefs how to cook better."
"As long as you return them afterward, then go ahead." Judai replied, though he was not to fond of the idea of either of them, especially Asuka, leaving.
"My King." a guard said as he entered the dinning room.
"Yes?" Judai asked.
"Their is someone disturbing everyone at the entrance of Yami Palace." the guard said. "He says that he is here to take Asuka and marry her."
"What?" Asuka shouted. "Just who is this person?"
"H-he says his n-name is Fierce." the guard stuttered, afraid of Asuka when her temper flared.
"You can leave now." Judai said with a smirk, noticing the gaurd was seconds away from wetting his pants. The guard all but ran away from the dinning room. 'Even my own guards are afraid of Asuka's temper. For some reason, I find that funny.'
"Let's go met this Fierce." Asuka growled out through clenched teeth. Fubuki and Ryo made sure to stay a few feet away from her while Judai simply walked next her as they all headed to the entrance of Yami Palace.
"I demand to see Princess Asuka!" Fierce shouted as the guards blocked his way into the palace.
"What do you want?" Asuka asked as she, Judai, Fubuki, and Ryo walked trough the entrance of Yami Palace. Fierce looked over at Asuka and smirked.
"Asuka my love, I've come to marry you." Fierce said.
"I don't even know you." Asuka replied, earning a gasp from Fierce.
"How could you not remember your most favorite knight?" Fierce asked. "I always watched over you when you we were young. I had to leave because the King and Queen ordered me to do so, but now I have returned."
"Why did they force you to leave?" Ryo asked, not remembering this guy at all.
"They said I was to close to the Princess." the knight said. He then started to quote random poetry that caused everyone to block out his voice.
"I don't even know this guy." Asuka whispered to Judai. "The only person I can remember that watched over me when I was young was some kid that would follow me around everywhere."
"A stalker, self-appointed knight?" Judai whispered.
"I guess so." Asuka replied. "But it was me that forced him to leave because he was creeping me out." Fierce noticed Asuka and Judai talking to each other and became enraged. The next thing Judai noticed was a large jaw around him. Asuka gasped when she saw Judai being swallowed by Black Tyranno. Asuka immediately turned to Fierce as he laughed.
"Now that he is gone, you no longer have to marry him." Fierce laughed. Fierce stopped laughing when he noticed Black Tyranno groan in pain. Suddenly, Black Tyranno burst into pieces as Judai was revealed with his arms spread out, shadow energy practically pouring out of him, with his head facing the ground. Somehow, their was no saliva or anything on Judai from Black Tyranno. When he looked up, Fierce stepped back in fear upon seeing Judai's eyes glowing a dark, menacing, gold.
"Your actions are punishable by death." Judai said as his eyes narrowed, his arms dropping back to his side as his shadow energy continued to pour out of his body. Judai looked over at Asuka and saw that she was seething on the inside. "The only person here who wishes to do you harm more then me is Asuka, so I'll allow her." Asuka looked at Judai, her eyes thanking him, before she turned back to face Fierce.
"Why would my beloved Asuka wish to harm me?" Fierce asked with a laugh. "She loves me."
"Any 'feelings' I have for you are far from love." Asuka practically spat out. "Right now, I only intend on sending you to the Shadow Realm." Asuka activated her DiaDhank as she called out, "Dark End Dragon!" Dark End Dragon roared as he appeared on the field.
"But my love, why?" Fierce asked, sounding heart broken. Fierce suddenly smiled before saying, "But of course, you want me to prove that I can protect you and in order to prove myself, I must defeat you in battle." Fierce activated his DiaDhank. "Appear, Supper Conductor Tyranno!" The new dinosaur appeared on the field.
"I activate Dark End Dragon's effect." Asuka said as Dark End Dragon's attack dropped to 2100 and his defense dropped to 1600. "Now, your dinosaur is destroyed." Supper Conductor Tyranno disappeared right before Dark End Dragon attacked Fierce. Fierce gasped as he felt his life energy drop.
"Don't worry my love, I'll prove myself." Fierce said, a smile on his face.
"Cyber Tutu." Asuka said as Cyber Tutu appeared before a vortex appeared behind Asuka. Cyber Tutu and Dark End Dragon disappeared into the vortex before Dragon Knight Draco-Esquiste appeared behind Asuka. "Finish this guy off." Draco-Esquiste nodded before he attacked Fierce, depleting the rest of his life energy.
"How can you do this to me my love?" Fierce asked as his body began to disappear.
"I can see it in you're eyes." Asuka replied. "You don't care about anyone but yourself. You just want to marry me so that you can become royalty." Asuka's eyes narrowed before she said, "And, you tried to kill Judai who has become my best friend. This is the fate you deserve." Fierce was about to respond with something, but his body disappeared before he had a chance. Everyone but Judai looked Asuka with different amounts of shock. As Asuka turned around, she noticed all of the stares. "What?" Everyone quickly got back to work, pretending as if they had not been watching.
"How did he know your were here?" Fubuki asked.
"Probably because of our parents." Asuka replied. Everyone sighed as once again the King and Queen of Geo Kingdom had done something to screw with all of their lives.
