Authors Note: Ok, so this is my first ever fan fiction. It's Yu-Gi-Oh! intertwined with the Lord of the Rings. I've been dying to write this for about 2 years now, but just never had the time. But, hey! It's summer, so I can do as I please!

First of all, I'd like to give a little intro, so you know who will be replacing who in this story. For those of you, who do not like Lord of the Rings, bear in mind, that this is a totally different story. I've inserted dragons as the main focus, not just fighting and a ring. However, there will still be a ring. But you'll have to read the story in order to figure it out! Anyway, here are the characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! that will be replacing the ones from the Lord of the Rings.

Yugi Mutou – Frodo Baggins

Yami Yugi (Atem) – Legolas

Jonouchi Katsuya (Joey Wheeler) – Gimli

Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner) – Samwise Gamgee

Honda Hiroto (Tristan Taylor) – Pippin Took

Seto Kaiba – Aragorn

Sugoroku Mutou (Grandpa Mutou) – Bilbo Baggins

Yami Bakura – Witchking

Otogi Ryuchi (Duke Devlin) – Merry Brandybuck

Mai Kujyaku (Mai Valentine) – Eowyn

Malik Ishtar (Marik Ishtar) – Haldir

Isis Ishtar (Ishizu Ishtar) – Galadriel

Dartz – Saruman

Mahado – Gandalf the Gray

Dark Magician – Gandalf the White

Ancient Bakura (With Tan) – Sauron

Ancient Bakura's Black-Hooded Followers – Ringwraiths

Here are some of my OC that are main. OK, well it's only one so far, but that could change:

Critiàsa – Arwen

And that's all I can think of for right now. If I think of any others, I'll post them at the beginning of the chapter. Anyway, since this is my first fan fiction, go easy on me. No flames, please? If you have any suggestions for the story, and I'll TRY to put them in. I've kinda got the whole plot out, since I'm following the movie. However, I'll try hard to put extra in if the story is not going your way. So, on to the main attraction! Without further intro, here's The Lord of the Dragons: A Portrayal of Light Emerges!

Italics – Isis talking

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, nor Lord of the Rings, so don't even begin to think about sueing me!

Prologue: One Ring and One Dragon to Rule Them All . . .

The world has changed . . . I feel it in the water . . . I feel it in the earth . . . I smell it in the air . . . Much that once was . . . is lost . . . For none now live . . . who remember it.

It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the elves, which were immortal, wisest, and the fairest of all beings. Seven were given to the Dwarf Lords, whom were great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine Rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else . . . desire power.

These Rings were special indeed. Each one granted it's master a unique Ka with powers unimaginable. These Ka ruled by their masters peacefully, only striking with their might when necessary. They possessed the power and will to govern each race. But the evil of a Ka is determined by how evil it's master is . . . The last thing any of them expected, though, was for another ring to be made . . .

In the land of Helmosore, in the fires of Mt. Doom, the Dark Lord Bakura forged, in secret, an evil ring to control all others. And into this ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. The Ka that was produced by this ring was by far the most powerful monster this world has ever come to know. It was a dragon with scales of pure black, symbolizing evil itself. It's wings contained giant, 20 feet wide, rubies to symbolize blood. Every inch of it's body was sharp, and anyone besides Bakura, who tried to touch it died immediately. With a height of 300 feet, it made even the bravest warrior quake in fear. But the thing that made it so terrifying was its red eyes. These eyes contained the essence of death, of fear, of pain, of everything that was menacing in the world. And so, with this symbol of evil born, it became known as the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon.

"One Ring To Rule Them All, One Dragon To Rule Them All . . . ."

One by one, free lands of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon and the Dark Lord Bakura. But there were some who resisted . . .

A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Helmosore. The army contained creatures of pure wickedness: Selendrills (Looks like the "Troop Dragon" card), giant lizards with red eyes and scaly skin. They had wings, though not powerful enough to lift their enormous weight. Their armor was thick, and their shields heavy. They were another little twist, signifying Bakura's evil. On the slopes of Mt. Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth . . .

Great numbers died in this war. It's impossible to tell how many. Arrows and swords were used by the men and elves. The elves also use their magic to fight. The Selendrills used maces, spears, and jagged swords. It was a brutal fight. Whenever victory came close, more reinforcements arrived, turning the tide of battle. It was as if Light was actually clashing with Dark.

One of the great kings of men had been in the battle. He was one of the chosen nine that received a Great Ring: Isildur. When all hope seemed to be lost, he used his last bit of strength to summon his Ka, and make an attempt to defeat the enemy. The Ka was also a dragon, though not as powerful as the Darkness Dragon. It was green, with a flash of a tan belly. It's wings were enormous, each with a with of 180 feet. It's height was at least 240 feet. On it's thighs, diamonds grew, creating an aquatic, reflective view as it rose to power. Isildur smirked as he called, "Come out, my faithful Luster Dragon!". The Selendrills all shuddered in fear at this mighty beast. The Luster Dragon opened it's mouth as shards of bright, lighted gems flew out. Each was the size of a large boulder. Across the battlefield, Selendrills fell to their death as the enemy became all but defeated. Victory was near . . .

But the power of the Ring could not be undone. The Dark Lord Bakura entered the battle himself, and spoke face to face with Isildur, who by now had become nervous.

"Ha! You think you can defeat the almighty power of the Ring? Never!" Bakura claimed. "As long as I'm around, so shall evil. So why don't you just do us all a favor, and surrender!"

"I shall die before I surrender to the likes of you! You are a burden to this earth, and must be put to rest!" Isildur declared defiantly.

"That was the last insult from your mouth, almighty king," Bakura taunted. "I tried to be nice, but it looks like you want to go to your death the hard way!"

With this, the Dark Lord Bakura became surrounded by a dark cloud, and the terrible Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon came forth.

"Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon . . . Let us remove these imbeciles from our world . . . BLACK FLAME OF MALEVOLENCE!"

And with that, the Darkness Dragon mustered a blast of pure black fire, so hot, it burnt the Luster Dragon in less than one second. This left Isildur on the ground, choking for air as his Ka died. Bakura approached Isildur, then kicked him hard.

"Such a waist of a Ka . . . nothing more than a shadow to my creature," Bakura continuously taunted. "Heh, heh . . . see you in the afterlife . . . Oh wait, no I won't."

As his dragon prepared to strike again, Isildur rolled on his back, sword in hand, and swung with his entire last bit of energy. The blade hit Bakura's hand, and cut it off. Bakura then screamed in agony as the ring fell to the ground. The Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon roared in pain, then exploded in unison with his master. The blow knocked everyone in the surrounding 100 miles on their backs, it was so powerful. Bakura, the enemy of the free peoples of Middle Earth, was defeated.

Isildur took up the Ring that was left behind and gazed at it and his handiwork. He had just one chance to destroy evil forever . . .

But the hearts of men . . . are easily corrupted. The Ring of Power has a will of it's own.

Years later, a band of wild Selendrills attacked Isildur and his soldiers. The Ring of Power betrayed Isildur to his death.

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend . . . legend became myth, and for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new barer.

"My Precious . . . ."

The ring came to the creature, Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the misty mountains. And there, it consumed him.

"It came to me . . . My own . . . My Love . . . My Precious . . ."

The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years, it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear. And the Ring of Power's time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But something happened then the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A hobbit, Sugoroku Mutou, of the Shire.

For the time will soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all . . . . .

And that's it! Hope you like the intro . . . as you can tell, I like to do ellipsis's ( . . . ). I kind of took some stuff from the movie, and put my own stuff into it. Anyway, that's the prologue. I'll get chapter one up here soon. R&R, but please no flames?
