A/N: Okay, just so people are aware: Egilhard is my Portal Master self. In this series, however, there's a lot of differences between Battlecaster!Egilhard and PM!Egilhard. Battlecast (in this case) is based off more of the tv show of Chaotic rather than the app Battlecast. As such, Egilhard's an average joe here just trying to survive a brutal virtual world simulation of the battles of Skylands. No magic, sword abilites, nor any skills as a Portal Master here.

With that out of the way, here's the first chapter of "Battlecast: Egilhard's Adventure".

Okay, so I might sound like I'm crazy, but I've been to Skylands and Battlecast, and both are awesome! ... Err, disregard that I'm speaking in run-on sentences here. I'm just super excited about what happened. Dr Krancase wa- Wait a minute, hold up.

Before I get too carried away, let's back this up to last evening.

I was hyped for the release of the mobile app known as Battlecast for both the iPhone and Android systems. Having been a fan of the Skylanders series, I thought it was also cool that they were going to do something with cards.

As soon as I downloaded the app onto my Galaxy S6, I was immediately greeted with the tutorial. After getting through that, a code flashed on the screen as well as a prompter.

I thought to myself, 'Wait... Am I supposed to input the code?' and went ahead with the process. I was then greeted with a notification that said "Scanner Feature Unlocked".

I didn't know exactly what that meant, so I only assumed it was for scanning the cards into the game for the collection. After what came next, I was soon proven to be so very wrong.

After playing through part of the story mode, I decided to take on the online VS mode. However, I was only met with an error message that said "Virtual Deck Not Unlocked." Getting frustrated after a few tries, I went for a walk.

Now, here's where it gets weird as we jump from my world to the virtual worlds tied with Battlecast. Y'all will probably think I'm nuts for relaying the remaining parts of the story from here. I'm going to tell you guys anyway.

Meanwhile, my virtual self - along with a good portion of my concious - got flung into Battlecast. Battlecast itself is a main central hub area. If you've seen the show Chaotic, it's similar to that as it acts as both a huge hangout spot for Battlecasters as well as an arena to test each other's strategies.

And, before you ask... No, we do not become the Skylanders. We can create teams of three with the 'cards' or copies of the Skylanders we have on-hand so to speak and use attacks, weapons, spells, gear, and even relics to help in our battles. All from the sidelines.

Anywho, I wound up getting challenged to a battle almost immediately when I walked through Battlecast. It was intense.

So, not to bore you with all the details, here's a quick recap: I had a team with gr-Imean Spirfire, Stormblade, and Stealth Elf whilst my opponent had Smash Hit, Trigger Happy, and Spyro. It was pretty much a losing fight, or so it seemed. I managed to get lucky with the cards this time around and managed to knock out the opponent's team before they could get my last Skylander.

Soon afterward, I came across this one guy... Let's just call him Benny. Now, Benny said that a good way to get back for my first time is to reset my phone's scanner and be close to the teleportation pad in the center of Battlecast. I foolishly believed him.

As a result, I was sent to the center of a seemingly familiar place. A laboratory with a lot of goo surrounding its grounds. For those who played Trap Team, you might know where this is headed...

I was smack dab in the center of Dr Krankcase's lab. As I was looking around, another Battlecaster approached me. Let's call him Kaz, as he did look and sound a lot like the Chaotic character by the same name.

Anyway, Kaz quickly snapped at me upon seeing me. Mainly just calling me a scan hound. I explained my situation to him as we were walking through the area. Kaz pointed out to me that Benny was a beta tester, and one really selfish, mean, rude, stuck-up jerk of a beta tester.

Before I got my chance to hurl my insults of Benny, Dr Krankcase showed up and was wandering around the corridors. Kaz dragged me along as he snuck up on the five-legged eccentric scientist.

He then took out his iPhone and quickly scanned Krankcase and showed it to me. He was explaining to me the stats, how only Skylanders are characters in Battlecast currently, and that timing is everything for spells, gear, and relic scans.

However, Kaz made one fatal mistake: He was also in earshot of Dr Krankcase. Shortly after he had begun his explanation of Battlecast, the scientist quickly whipped around, lightning bolt in hand and a very unpleasant grin on his face.

Both Kaz and I gunned it. However, that seemed rather futile as five spider-like legs are faster than our two legs. Kaz quickly came up with an idea to split up. I wasn't too sure about trusting him, but, at that point, what else did I have to lose?

We split up right at the first intersection of corridors we saw, Kaz going right and I going left. Dr Krankcase seemed to have automatically veered towards Kaz.

I wasn't sure if he would survive if he got caught. My gut was telling me it would be fine, but I didn't believe it as it had been wrong many of times before.

I soon pulled out my phone and fidgeted with it to see if I could get back to Battlecast. It took me roughly a few minutes, but I was soon teleported back...

And who else was there to greet me but Kaz. He managed to turn a corner and enter a room quick enough for the scientist to just race past him.

Afterward, Kaz showed me how to properly get back to my world.

Meanwhile, after countless walks, I noticed an odd button on the Battlecast app screen that wasn't there before. I pressed it, and, soon enough, all the memories of my adventure in Battlecast came flooding back.

Whoah, what a trip.

Anyway, if any of you guys happen to see me in Battlecast, do feel free to talk to me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some cards I need to hunt down.

A/N: Well, I hope you enjoyed this one. It's just the first one, though. I'm not very good with writing nor have I actually written anything for a long period of time, so I figured I might as well try my hand at it again.

Let me know what you think. =)

Also: If you'd like to cameo in later chapters, do let me know as well. Or, if you'd like, you can also do your own writings of adventures in Battlecast.
