What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you a crossover project between Yugioh and Fire Emblem. To clarify, I'm doing this in the Fates story with various other Yugioh shows added into this.
This story is about a youth from our world brought into the realm of Fates after an omnipotent god had grown bored of the usual paths in time and space. Granted a device that allows him to summon Duel Monsters, the youth becomes a wandering mercenary, caught in a conflict between Hoshino and Nohr along with the affections of a certain princess with silver hair.
Suggestions to this story are up for everyone who reads this. Or at least, those who are interested in reading this in the first place.
Now for the disclaimer: I do not own, except my OC, Yugioh and Fire Emblem. All rights belong to their original owner.
Now let's get this party started… BEGIN!
Fate's Wandering Duelist
Chapter 1: The Duelist, the God, and the World
[Earth]
[Shibuya]
A young boy released a yawn as he checked his phone. "Still early…" The time on his smartphone read that it was before nine in the morning. "I could probably make it on time and get some of those rare cards."
The boy stood at a good five foot eleven due to his age as a sixteen year old. He had sun-kissed skin, sky blue eyes, and spiky/wavy white hair with scarlet red bangs framing his forehead and orange fringes hanging by his cheeks. He wore an orange t-shirt, a dark blue leather jacket with several silver buttons, brown trousers, black-white sneakers, and a pair of black fingerless gloves.
This boy is Yusuke Shiranui. A player in the famous worldwide card game known as Yugioh. He enjoyed the game when he was a child and still enjoys it to this day, especially the television shows.
He reached in his pocket to bring out his own Deck. It was comprised of mix-match cards that had no counters to its style. He followed the style after his favorite character, Yugi Muto. Every card had a use in his eyes. Nothing was weak as long as it had potential.
He passed by the various unorthodox forms of citizens going about their daily lives. Life in the real world was boring. He wanted nothing to do with lame jobs or long-winded adults.
The boy had always wanted to Duel against famous characters like Jaden Yuki, Seto Kaiba, Yuya Sakaki, and even his idol: Yugi Muto. However, it was merely a fantasy belonging in fanfiction.
His father, an owner to a multi-million dollar gaming company that wanted him to one day inherit. His mother had long since died from childbirth so Yusuke was instead raised by the maids and butlers of his family manor. To be frank, he hated the rich life. It always gave him a false understanding of the world.
Yusuke released a sigh, looking down at his phone. He was playing the Yugioh: Duel Links game, dueling against a player from the US. He didn't know who it was but they were undeniably good. In fact, many would say that this American player is his rival.
The white-haired boy closed his phone then entered the local game store. He had been itching to get some new cards, especially with the new Link monsters. Truthfully, he found the game difficult enough with the new summoning conditions for monsters.
"Oh, if it isn't Yuyu," A voice broke him out of his thoughts. The boy's attention landed on a young woman in her late twenties with long brown hair that reached her back, dark green eyes, olive skin, and a curvy figure. Her outfit consisted of a hot pink blouse, a stark white thigh-length skirt, brown shoes, and a white apron. "Come to get some new cards?"
"Yeah, I've been wanting some for a while now, Ms. Fujiki." Yusuke replied.
"Well, you're in luck." The older woman grinned, reaching underneath the showcase counter and pulling out a set of booster packs. "I managed to get a new selection this morning."
The moment his eyes landed on the packs, a wide smile broke out on his boyish face. "You're just awesome, Ms. Fujiki!" He hopped up and down in excitement.
Ms. Fujiki giggled, watching the boy she adored grab a few card packs, reached into his pocket, pulled out yen, and placed it on the counter. Normally, she'd allow him to take the cards for free. He was, after all, a darling child. Still, she had a business to run and Yusuke is one of her favorite customers.
Biding the woman a quick thank you, the boy with three different colors for hair sat at a small table then started opening each pack one by one.
Some of the cards he got had a few Synchro Monsters, Xyz Monsters, a few traps, spells, and even a few Link Monsters.
However, his eyes landed on three specific cards that he had been seeking for quite a long time. The first card was a blue humanoid female dragon with long blonde hair, a curvaceous figure, a bra and loincloth combo to cover the modesty, and a gentle smile on her muzzle.
The second card was a lithe robotic warrior clad in navy blue/golden armor and violet gemstones over a dark mechanical body frame lined with violet circuits, a pair of glowing purplish-pink eyes with a large two-handed sword that possessed a glowing, data-like hallowed blade.
The third card was something he had never seen before. For one, the monster was a young man clad in midnight black armor themed after a dragon with wings on the back as well. The man possessed long bluish-black hair, scarlet red eyes, pale skin, and a long scar running from his left eye to his right cheek. He wielded a long, curved sword bearing a resemblance to a saber with a dragon head-shaped handguard, a claw-like pommel, and a blood red blade.
Yusuke read the names of the three monsters respectively: Saffira, Queen of the Dragons; Decode Talker; Sorom, the Dark Dragon.
"Holy crap!" The boy exclaimed. "A new card!? A new monster card! Awesome!"
Never before had he gotten such a rare card before but to get something like this was quite amazing.
He takes all three cards and places them in his deck holster along with the others that he's gathered. He marches over to Ms Fujiki and sets a wad of bills on the counter. "Here, this should cover what I owe for today."
"Oh, you didn't have to do that." The woman smiled at the boy.
Yusuke, however, would not take no for an answer. "Please, you've more than earn it, Ms. Fujiki." He retorted gently with a grin.
"You're such a kind child, Yusuke." She smiled, patting his head, much to his embarrassment.
"Stop, I'm not a kid anymore." Yusuke groaned, his cheeks burning bright red.
[Realm Between Realms]
If there was one thing that killed many, it was boredom.
That is how this omnipotent being currently felt as he sat upon his throne, trying his best to keep awake.
This is the Lord of All Existence. Ruler of various parallel universes and Creator of Gods.
Or more commonly known as the Author.
"I'm so bored…" The omnipotent being moaned in despair.
He looked upon the time stream of various parallel universes that showcased heroes, villains, and the occasional anti-hero that would become great messiah or world-ending pariahs.
"I need to find some form of entertainment." The Author swiped his hand, going through world after world until he stopped. "Hello, what do we have here?"
Looking through the viewport, the God found himself watching a young mortal with tri-colored hair and holding a deck of cards.
"Hmm, where have I seen them before…?" The Author snapped his fingers. "Ah, now I remember! From Universe 0267." He had seen worlds where this kind of game led to end of the world events with heroes taking up the call to fight for justice. Romantic, but utterly boring. "Hmm, what to do with you?"
He materialized a new viewport and swiped through other dimensions to find a good source of entertainment.
"Ah, my precious daughter's world. I suppose I can have a little fun here." He grinned. "Hope Naga won't be too mad at me."
Now he just needed a proper way to introduce the kid…
[Shiranui Homestead]
Yusuke stood outside of his mother's family home in Japan. His father, being North American and adopting his mother's maiden name, had remodeled the traditional Japanese household and added in a few rooms based off of rich American manors.
To the normal eye, it was humongous. To the boy, it was both home… and prison.
With a sigh, he made his way up to the gate, passing by the guard that greeted him with a nod.
"Master Shiranui." A servant greeted him while watering a bush of roses.
"George." Yusuke nodded back, entering through the front door.
"Welcome back, Master Yusuke." Several maids and butlers greeted the boy with a bow.
"Thank you, everyone." He smiled appreciably at the aides that became his family. He looked around, trying to find someone important. "Where's dad?"
"Your father is in a business meeting, young master." A butler informed the boy.
However, Yusuke frowned. It's always the same thing. His dad is only home late at night while he's busy at work during the day. "Oh…" He grumbled, passing everyone around him then marched upstairs to his bedroom.
The moment he stepped in, Yusuke angrily threw his deck holster onto his desk as he sat on his bed. He placed his hands over his face, shielding his face from view.
With a deep breath, the boy looked at his room. Posters lined with different pictures of monsters from Yugioh such as Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Blue-eyes White Dragon, and Stardust Dragon. An oak desk with a laptop, a few picture frames, and a replica Duel Disk. A queen-sized bed with cream-colored sheets, black pillowcases, and red-orange blankets. A few bookcases with manga, American comics, a couple books, and old notebooks from school.
Overall, normal looking room, save for the collection of Yugioh cards placed in separate decks on stands.
"It's always the same thing with dad. He's never home and when he is, he's too damn tired to ask me how my day's been…" The boy muttered. "I hate being rich…"
His eyes drifted over to his deck, more specifically, the three new cards he got from the shop.
Yusuke stood up from his bed and strolled over to the desk, grabbing one of the cards to stare at.
Sky blue eyes gazed into the crimson orbs of the Dark Dragon. "Then again, I might not have gotten you if I wasn't born."
A silent moment treaded the air as Yusuke placed his new monster card down and leaned back on his chair, his eyelids slowly tempting him to sleep.
Once exhaustion slowly crept in, the teen could almost make out a silhouette in his sleep. Strange, but it's probably just his imagination… or is it?
Before he slept, he heard a voice speak to him. "Better hold on to your stomach, kid. You're in for a wild ride."
[?]
A voice sings a lovely melody…
"You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek Life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb."
A battlefield appears with two armies fighting each other in a bloody conflict. One side wore armor like the samurai from Japan while the other wore equipment similar to European knights from the Western lands.
Amongst this battlefield stood two warriors of great renown.
The first warrior is a tall man in his early twenties with neat, blonde hair, dark eyes, and light skin. He wore regal black/gold armor with a red violet mantle. In his hand, he wielded a demonic looking longsword that glowed with a dark power. This warrior's name is Xander.
The second warrior is another man in his early twenties with wild, long brown hair, coal black eyes, and sun-kissed skin. He wore red samurai armor with white-crimson clothing underneath. In his hands, he wielded a regal katana blade that surged with lightning. This warrior's name is Ryoma.
The samurai directed his sword at the paladin. "Nohrian general! You face the high prince of Hoshido, Ryoma! I challenge you to single combat!"
The dark knight scoffed. "I will accept your challenge, "high prince". But I'm no general. I am crown prince Xander of Nohr!" He declared.
The two warriors charge each other then swung their blades, clashing in a heated duel to the death.
[?]
Yusuke awoke with a start.
'What kind of dream was that?'
He rubbed his eyelids then opened them. However, instead of expecting his bedroom, he was met with an opened field that had a few trees placed a few yards away from him.
"Where the hell am I?" The boy wondered aloud. He stood up, completely confused at his current predicament.
He received no answer.
Yusuke gave himself a once over, glad that he still had his clothes and shoes on. However, for some reason his deck holster was on his waist along with some sort of black gauntlet that was attached to his left arm. When he touched it, a board of light with a crimson edge appeared like a sword. "A Duel Disk?" He gasped in shock then noticed a feature on the gauntlet that wasn't there before. The boy pressed it and found a huge selection of cards running through the system, even ones that he's never seen or heard of before. "A special kind of Duel Disk it seems."
He pressed an image of one of his favorite monsters from his childhood. In an instant, the card appeared in his hand, further surprising the teen. While he would question how a card materialized out of thin air, Yusuke was too excited to care.
"I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!" He declared like his idol would then placed the monster card on the Monster Zone.
Unfortunately, believing that it was just a nifty toy, Yusuke fell on his butt when a figure emerged from out of a dark portal.
His sky blue eyes looked on in awe at the familiar elven warrior in green/brown armor and wielding a razor sharp broadsword. The tall Warrior-type monster knelt down, almost submissively before the boy.
"I have answered your call, master." The Duel Monster stated. "Any enemy who would dare harm you, I will destroy them."
"Holy shit… y-you're real!?" Yusuke exclaimed in shock.
"Aye, I am." Celtic Guardian nods stiffly. "Is there a problem with that?"
"N-no, not at all." The boy quickly held up his hands, thinking the monster would attack him if he offended it.
"I see." The elven warrior folded his arms. "You seem to be safe right now. Call upon my strength whenever you need it. However, be wary of your LP counter." In the blink of an eye, the Duel Monster disappeared in a flash of light and flew back into the card.
"That was so weird." Yusuke mutters, placing the card back into his deck, which seemed to have vanished into thin air. He looked upon the LP Counter. It currently read: 8000. "That's even weirder…"
"Well, look what we have here." A gruff-sounding voice said, drawing his attention.
Looking back, the boy found himself surrounded by a group of dirty-looking men in barbarian-esque equipment, wielding either swords or axes.
"A lost little brat with fancy clothes. Looks like we got a Hoshidan!" The leader apparently, wearing steel armor and holding an axe laughed. His cold, green eyes staring into his blue orbs.
"Hoshidan?" Yusuke blinked in confusion.
"Fork over all your money and that fancy gauntlet or we'll skin you alive." The bandit leader warned him.
"But I don't have any cash." The boy replied neutrally.
The bandit frowned. "So it's gonna be the hard way, is it? Alright." He glanced at his subordinates. "Boys, teach this little whore son a lesson."
"Yes, boss." The other thugs nodded obediently, stalking towards the young man with sinister grins.
"You don't want to do this." Yusuke warned the men.
"And what are you gonna do about it, kid?" One of the bandits sneered.
"Yeah, there's a dozen of us and only one of you." Another added.
The boy rolled his eyes. "You're gonna need your eyeballs checked." He pressed a few images on the dashboard of his Duel Disk, summoning three cards in his hand, confusing the bandits. "Because I summon: Dark Magician, Black Luster Soldier, and Buster Blader!"
At his declaration, three separate dark portals appeared behind him then out stepped three of the mightiest creatures in all of Duel Monsters.
The first is a man with silver hair, blue skin with black markings, ice blue eyes, and a thin yet muscular build while decked out in spiky black, silver, and blue armor with robes covering it. In his hands, he wielded a spellcaster's rod.
The second is another man wearing sinister black/gold armor with long blood red hair, greenish-pale skin, and cold red eyes. The warrior wielded a curved sword and a dragon-like kite shield.
The last monster is a tall, strong man clad from head to toe in a black/purple armored bodysuit with golden accents and crimson red eyes. He wielded a large executioner-styled sword easily twice his size, yet he wielded it with great ease.
"He's a summoner! Kill him!" The leader ordered his men.
"Go, my monsters! Take them down!" Yusuke commanded the three Duel Monsters, who swiftly followed their master's order to eliminate the threat.
Dark Magician evoked his most powerful spell: Dark Magic Attack. Vaporizing three of the bandits with great ease.
Black Luster Soldier blocked and parried away axe blows with his shield then slashed through four bandits all at once with a single swing of his sword. With a swipe of his sword arm, he removed the blood from his blade.
Buster Blader? Need I say more. Just the sheer size and power of him would kill anybody at first sight of the dragon slayer. Unfortunately, the bandits were too simple-minded to care, believing that they could slay the Duel Monster, but were only met with the bite of his blade.
The bandit leader looked at the bodies of his fallen subordinates in shock and fear. "Impossible! No summoner can call forth such powerful familiars like these things!"
"True, that would be the case." Yusuke smirked while his monsters stood protectively around him. "However, what you face is far beyond your capabilities."
The gruff-looking man snarled. "I'll show you, Hoshidan scum!" He brought out a two-handed great axe and charged at the boy with the intent to kill him.
The boy quickly played a card on his Duel Disk. "Go, Spellbinding Circle!" At his command, a runic circle encased the man, paralyzing and weakening him in its magical barrier.
"W-what is this!?" The bandit cried out in surprise, unable to move a muscle in his body.
"It's a Trap Card. It stops a foe in their tracks and drains half their strength. Now how about you tell me what I want to know? Give me enough info, I'll let you go with your life." Yusuke offered. "It's definitely in your best interest to do this. Otherwise…" He gestured to his monsters with a sly grin.
"Fine." The man reluctantly agreed. "What do you want to know?"
"You called me a Hoshidan before. What did you mean by that?" The boy asked.
The bandit leader gave Yusuke a confused look. "That's what you are, aren't you? The White Night Kingdom, Hoshido."
"Sorry, but I'm pretty lost in this world." Yusuke admitted with a nervous chuckle. "Mind giving me the rundown on this whole place?"
"Uh, right." The man nodded. "But I'm not all that smart so I only know so much."
"Hey, anything I can get is good enough for me." The teen shrugged.
With a sigh, the bandit leader gave the young Duelist a quick rundown of the two Kingdoms: Hoshido and Nohr. How both kingdoms followed the ways of the First Dragons. How they both fought each other like bitter enemies. How the bloodlines of the royal families were able to wield the power of the Dragon Vein. Not only that, but there were apparently, a few summoners amongst them that could call forth powerful creatures that would devastate continents.
That last bit of information interested the boy.
"And that's all I know." The bandit said. "So can I go now?"
"Yeah, you can. Though I ain't taking the circle down. Mostly because I don't really trust you to leave me in peace."
"Y-you can't just leave out here!" The man exclaimed.
"Don't worry. Once I'm at a substantial distance, I'll remove the trap card and release you. Just don't let me catch you trying to steal from people again." Yusuke warned the brigand.
"A-alright!" The man nodded in fear.
With a carefree grin, the Shiranui heir rummaged through the bodies of the dead bandits, finding a few vials of medicine which he placed in a small rucksack along with a few bags of gold, dried meat, a canteen of water, a used sleeping bag, a tent, a map of the land, and a few other survival items. He even took a knife just in case.
"Well, have a nice day." The boy told the brigand then went on his merry way.
Once the teen was nothing more than a dot in the man's eyes, the binding circle disappeared, allowing him control over his motor functions. "Good gods, I hope I never piss off that kid…" He said to himself while stretching his tense muscles. "Still, he was pretty weird for a Hoshidan."
[Realm Between Realms]
"My, oh my," The Author chuckled. "That mortal's got more guts than I thought."
"Daddy!" A feminine voice yelled.
The omnipotent god flinched. "Ah shit…" If there was one thing he dreaded hearing the most, it was one of his favorite daughters…
"Daddy!" Appearing in a flash of light is a beautiful woman with ethereal skin, pointed ears, jade green hair, and bright blue eyes. She is dressed in a fantastic outfit fashioned by starlight. While beautiful to many, the glare she was directing at her father made her anything but.
"Hello, my precious little dragon." The Author sweats nervously as his daughter, Naga, stops in front of him with a scolding glare.
"Don't you give me that! You deliberately performed another crossover, didn't you!?" She shot back.
The Creator of all Gods chuckled nervously. "Well, you see-"
"You brought a mortal from an alternate reality into my domain! You know you can't do that, daddy!" Naga scolded her father.
"I was bored." He admitted weakly.
"..."
"Uh, baby gi-"
"YOU'RE AN IDIOT, DADDY!" Naga cuts off the Author with an angry screech, shocking and frightening the god.
"AHHHH!" The omnipotent being cried out in shock. "Naga, hold on, let me explain!"
"Baka! Baka! Baka! BAKAAAAAAAA!" The dragon goddess scream in the Author's eardrums.
'I can already see a bottle of painkillers in my future…'
[Nohr - Northern Fortress]
"Time to wake up, Lady Corrin!"
With that sudden call, Corrin's eyes slowly opened, seeing a woman with slightly long blue hair looking down at her.
Suddenly, before she could even reply, another woman jumped into view, this time with longer, light pink hair, "Hey, wake up, Lady Corrin! Up and at 'em!"
These two were Flora and Felicia, her retainers.
With a groan, Corrin sat up, rubbing the crust out of her eyes. At this, both Flora and Felicia step back, the blue-haired woman with her hands crossed in front of her, and the pinkette with her hands behind her back. Nearby, Corrin's other two retainers, Gunther, a large, bulky old man, and Jakob, an only slightly shorter man, both with rather short white hair, stood nearby. Looking out the window, she noticed that it was still pitch black outside.
She groaned lightly, obviously annoyed that her sleep had been disturbed. "What are you talking about? It's still dark outside." Corrin stated. Honestly, being a princess sucked sometimes…
Gunther sighed at his lady's usual laidback attitude. "Listen well, Princess. It may be dark, but it is indeed in morning. You have practice today." His statement made him sound like an overbearing grandfather, much to Corrin's chargen.
Jakob quickly intervened. "I have taken the liberty of readying your armor, and, er, pounding out the dents." He replied with a small sweatdrop. "Your brother is a fearsome opponent, is he not?"
The silver-haired girl sighed. "Ugh. Fine. I'm still not completely awake though…" She muttered, feeling the soft comforts of her bed lure her back for much needed rest.
This only sported a mischievous smile on Flora's face. "Oh, I can help with that. Felicia, mind assisting me?"
"Sure thing!"
In her exhausted state, Corrin failed to notice the two maids reach forward and touch her cheeks… sending a wave of ice magic into her body that nearly made her jump into the air. However, all she did was yelp in surprise. "Waauuugh! Cold cold cold! I'm awake! Totally awake now!" She quickly gets out of bed, dressed in only a white nightdress that showed off her long, smooth legs.
Flora smiled at her princess. "That's how we deal with slugabeds in the Ice Tribe!"
The red-eyed girl sighed. "Trust me, I know." She pouted slightly in annoyance. "I wish I could have finished the dream I was having though…"
Jakob looked at Corrin bequizzled. "Interesting. Do tell: What kind of dream was it?"
"It was… strange. Some people who look like Hoshidans kept calling me their sister. But all of my brothers and sisters are here in Nohr…" She explained. "Not only that, but there was this strange boy…"
Suddenly, Flora interrupted her. "Ah, Lady Corrin, perhaps we should talk about your dream another time?"
"It's time for you to get going, milady." Felicia added. "Prince Xander is waiting for you!"
Corrin nods, stretching out whatever sleep lingered in her system and began to get ready for the day.
However, her thoughts continued to drift back to the strange boy in her dreams. The one with snowy hair and commanding a great knight of terrifying power…
'Just who was that?' She thought in her head.
A/N: That's it for the first chapter. I hope to upload the second one soon and I hope I get some good feedback.
Now just a quick note: The new monster that Yusuke has is one of eight elemental dragon knights that are native only to the realm of Fire Emblem. A Duelist who manages to acquire one of these cards is labeled as a Dragon Master.
The elements are as followed: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, Dark, and Divine
Sorom the Dark Dragon, along with his fellow Elemental Dragon Knights, work the same way as Elemental HERO Neos and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. They can merge with specific monsters or other types of cards to become new, more powerful creatures.
Also, Yusuke's Duel Disk is also a device that the Author created called the Summoner Gauntlet. And as you can clearly read, it summons Duel Monsters and activates spells or traps. It also has a LP Counter. As you can guess, you run out of LP, you lose the 'game'.
Duels will still function the same way with Duel Disks. Not only that, but some of the characters from the Fire Emblem side of this crossover are able to summon a ka, or a Duel Spirit. You can thank the omnipotent Creator of All Gods for that.
