Hey, this is Kirei coming at ya. I swore that I wasn't going to start another story…but…I couldn't resist! I had a 'flashback' weekend when I was watching and rereading a bunch of stuff just for fun. The Swan Princess was included in this. The Raven Prince is inspired by the movie. If you notice some similarities, now you know.

Jack: I do not see why I, Jack Atlas, must degrade myself to this!

Kirei: *in sing-song voice* You get to beat up Rudger and Rex~~~ And you rescue Yusei~~

Jack: I'm in.

Yusei: Is that all it takes to convince him?

Kirei: Oh don't tell me it's not the same with you.

Yusei:…..

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds or The Swan Princess. However! I do own any plot twists that I've added!

Neo Domino Kingdom.

A beautiful, prosperous place teeming with enchantment. Spiraling made of gleaming metals and wide glass colossus towered within Neo Domino. Smog was nonexistent, leaving plenty of space for the ever blue sky. All of the kingdom powered by the power of Momentum. And the entire kingdom was under the command of the brilliant mind behind Neo Domino's power source, King Hakase.

King Hakase was intelligent within the realms of enchantment, which led to his invention of Momentum. However, that didn't obtain him the title of king. The previous king, whom King Hakase (back then just Fudo Hakase) served, was impressed by the earnestness and compassion the former sorcerer displayed. Well-liked by the citizens and the king elderly with no heir, the dark-haired man was nominated as the successor. Despite his insistency of being an incompetent ruler, the throne was soon passed to Hakase, bringing happiness to the country. Except two souls.

Godwin Rudger and Rex. Brothers and protesters of King Hakase's reign. Rudger had been the lifetime and loyal advisor and minister of magic of the past king. As the pattern of succession followed, with the king without a child, he was to become the next king. However, due to the 'adoption' of the Momentum creator, his throne was taken. Rex merely supported his brother, though he also held the ambition to control Neo Domino.

Both plotted for Hakase to merely be assassinated, leaving only Rudger to take control. However, another problem surfaced for the brothers. The birth of a child, an heir, to the king.

The heir was a son, both a gift and sorrow for the former scientist. On the eve of his child's birth, Hakase's wife, Kaya, had died from childbirth, leaving the king widowed. But, this didn't dampen the man's love for his son. He named the prince, Yusei.

Various kingdoms' rulers had traveled to the modern country in order to meet and bless the newborn prince. Among the visitors was the sovereign of the Satellite kingdom, Queen Martha, and her son, Prince Jack. By watching the young princes interacting with each other, both widowed monarchs thought of an idea. A marriage between Yusei and Jack to unite the two kingdoms. Trying to be fair, the parents would have the boys meet every summer in hopes they would fall in love. The plan was perfect however, they could not foresee the danger to come.

Determined to take the kingdom of Neo Domino, the Godwin siblings sought to increase their power in order to create torment for their adversary. That is when they were drawn to the forbidden arts. Darkness and…the creation of indestructible hellions, the Earthbound Gods. Spending years in secret, they perfected the summoning of the Earthbound God and planned to strike King Hakase at his Achilles'' heel, Yusei.

Underneath nightfall the duo ascended the tower the prince rested. Easily dispatching the guards, Rudger and Rex raced up the spiraling stairs. In the nursery Yusei slept, blissfully unaware of the intruders. They began summoning the Earthbound God, causing the room to ignite. The purple flames leapt around the room, grazing the infant's face, awakening the boy. A large spider-like ant emerged from the ground. It's size took down the roof of the tower. It's surreal screech resounded, frightening the young child.

Bewildered but sensing danger, Yusei began to cry. His screams didn't drown out the creation of evil but it certain awakened a savior. An invisible gust whipped around while a light shot into the skies. As if answering the baby's cries a roar echoed. From the darkened clouds emerged beast of radiance. Shimmering and majestic was the white dragon with purple and blue accents. It roared once more before assaulting the spider-ant demon.

Awe and shock coursed through the brothers. The child was a summoner, a powerful enchanter in the making. This hadn't occurred to either Godwin. And in this time did soldiers surge through the tower remnants. Outnumbered, they turned to their Earthbound God when they noticed it's defeat at the hands of the shining white dragon and a black dragon with wings composed of rose petals, the dragon of the high summoner, Akiza.

Powerless, they were arrested. Citizens wished for them to be to be executed. However, the king only called for them to banished to father corners of the kingdom. The action made the people fear their ruler was too kind.

This proved to be true when the escorts, personal knights of King Hakase and High Summoner Akiza failed to return from the dispatching of the Godwins. Search parties were sent to them, but no avail. All that was left was the knights' weapons and a note.

It read only one sentence:

One day, dear king, you, your whole kingdom, your subjects, and your precious son will all be at our mercy.

~~~~~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~~~~~

Whew! How's that for a beginning? Yeah…I realized I just changed so much already but…*shrugs* I'm just one to add drama!

Will the Godwins hold up to their words? What's in store for Prince Yusei in his arranged marriage? You'll find out soon.

Oh, any flamers, don't like, don't read.
