Me: Okay! Yet another fanfic I've thought of. I hope to blow your freaking faces off with this idea, because I thought it up with the help of an Attack on Titan marathon, and a crazy ass dream I had after falling asleep during said marathon XD So! This is a Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan type of fanfic, however it revolves around YGO and while it has some SnK/AoT ideas, it has almost nothing to do with SnK/AoT... :) So, I hope you all enjoy!
Warnings: Character deaths, Blood, Violence, hints of mental/physical abuse, Character bashing, and others will come. To add to all that, there is also many languages involved in this fic, mainly Italian and English. Also, the point-of-view will be switched quite often (Don't worry there will be notes letting you know who's POV it is, or 3rd person if it is that POV (A large portion of this story will be in 3rd person).. ^w^
Shippings: Not telling! :D Just know it's my basic shippings ^w^ And also, there IS boyxboy, if you don't like it, don't read it! ^w^
It wouldn't of taken me so long to write, however with the other fanfics I'm working on, and having to do all the research I did to write this... *sigh* It took forever just to get everything finally planned out... .' So! I hope all of my hard work pays off... TT^TT
A few things you should know before getting into this fanfic. This fanfic is inspired by more than just SnK/AoT. Another thing to know, this fanfic will be bi-langual. Originally it was the monsters spoke Japanese and the humans spoke English. However, my Japanese isn't very good, and I'm not Japanese... So! That being said, I'm switching the Monsters' language to Italian. The one language that I'm pretty good at ^w^ However, due to wanting to get this story done, I'll be using google translator for A LOT of the translations... It'll keep me from having to stop to think about translations all the freakin time :3 So, if there are any mistakes in translation, it is due to Google Translate. I've got too much work to go through for this story to go through every single translation. And we all know that with translations words are all jumbled up, that's why we put the translation after them, so that way you know what it's supposed to say XD
All that being said, translations will go as followed:
La frase inglese seguirà la frase italiana tra parentesi. (The English sentence will follow the Italian sentence in parentheses.)
Fallen: I suppose I'm going to be beta'ing for PaRaDiCe, here, which is awesome! She's been venting to me about this idea for months, now! I can't wait to see where you're going to be taking this one, Nickey! X3
My little Hikari there kinda put that in before I was completely done with the Author's note. First off, THANK YOU Fallen, for beta'ing this chapter for me. I really appreciate it. Secondly, have I told you guys how much I absolutely LOVE having Fallen around to help me out. ^w^ Now, this story isn't like Kindred, we won't be working every other chapter, I just have her beta some chapters that I think drabble on too damn long, and she fixes them ^w^ So thanks again Fallen! You're the best :3
Anyway! Enjoy! I do not own YGO or SnK/AoT or anything pertaining to the two. This is simply a fan-made story made for entertainment purposes.
On to the story! :D The first chapter is told in 3rd person POV.
Just so you all know:

'Thoughts'
Attack on Duel Monsters
Prologue
The village of Domino was the safest of all the villages. It wasn't very big, but it was in the center of a large clearing, ringed by a slightly dense forrest. The village itself was surrounded by thick concrete walls that stood 164 feet (50 meters) tall. The center wall, Wall Ra, surrounded a castle that belonged to the Kaiba family and a few of the important officials' homes, as well. The wall outside of that one, Wall Osiris, surrounded a large portion of the village's houses. The outer wall, Wall Anubis was the tallest of the three (being only a few feet taller than the others), surrounded a few houses, and the fields that grew the population's food supply.
The reason behind the walls? Almost one hundred years ago a horde of monsters appeared, almost wiping out the entire human race. That was when the walls went up; it took a while, but eventually the thick concrete borders were finished, with four gates in each ring – one north, one south, one east, and one west. The largest of the three, and most important of the walls – Osiris and Anubis – held a smaller village in an arch shape, off the gated part of the wall. So, adding to the main village, there were eight districts which everyone resided in.
The Pyramidia district resided to the north, on the outer wall of Anubis. It had many trees, a rainforest-type floor, in all but one area at the center, where a large patch of sand sat with a great pyramid dewelling on it. Kul Elna district was on the southern part of Anubis. It looked much like a desert, the ground being sandstone with houses made of the same material, however it also contained oases of beautiful, green grass, healthy enough to feed the livestock that lived in the district. The Alcatraz district was used mainly for criminals. It sat on the eastern side of Wall Anubis. On the west side of Anubis sat the Shadow district. Its name said it all; the Shadow district was almost as dangerous as the Alcatraz district. Not even the soldiers that guarded the gate dared to enter.
Branching from Wall Osiris, were the districts Noah – named after a late son of the Kaibas, who died at birth – Paradius, Legendary, and Doma. The Noah district was on the north side, where the land was fertile, and grew the lushest of green grass. Paradius rested on the eastern side, a little less beautiful than the Noah district, but still blooming with life all the same. The Legendary district was just that, resting on the western side. It was rippled with rolling hills, a stream splitting the district in two. The final district was the Doma district, and it was much like an ancient ruin all in itself. On one side, sat a disused temple. On the other sat many houses, where people lived peacefully.
Solomon Motou and Arthur Hawkins were two of the villagers that lived in Domino. They lived around Wall Anubis, in the Kul Elna district, growing crops, as well as tending to and slaughtering cattle when meat was needed. They were also known to explore the outside world, gathering new supplies, discovering new places, and letting everyone know what was out there. They were the only two that were brave enough to venture outside (besides the doctor when he needed to go to another town), so no one else minded when they left through the gates.
The two were currently exploring the outside world, walking around the clearing just on the edge of the forest. "Well Solomon, my dear friend. I think we've explored every inch of the clearing" Arthur announced, as they took a step into the forest.
"Nothing compared to the rest of the world, huh Arthur?" Solomon chuckled, ducking under a tree limb.
"Not with everything that we've seen," Arthur agreed, stepping over a fallen tree.
The two carried on a little further into the woods before stopping and having a seat on another fallen tree. "Care for a bite to eat?" Solomon asked, holding up a sandwich
"I think I could go for a bite," Arthur sighed, taking the sandwich that was offered.
Solomon pulled out his own sandwich and the two sat there in peace, eating their snack. It had to be at least noon. "So, is your son planning on having any children soon?"
"Well, his wife has been wondering the same thing" Solomon chuckled. "He's just been so busy at work. Lyra goes and spends a lot of time with Yamina Sennen though, she can play with baby Yami."
"How old is Yami now?" Arthur asked looking over his shoulder at Solomon.
"Almost a year. I think Aknamkanon said he was eight months old."
"Aknamkanon is a great man."
"And an amazing doctor," Solomon agreed.
"Well," Arthur grunted, getting to his feet, "I suppose we should-"
"Hm?" Solomon hummed, turning around to face where Arthur stood "What is it Arthur?"
"There's a dog" he said, looking at the black dog in utter confusion.
"A dog?" Solomon asked, equally confused. He stepped over beside Arthur to look at the tall black canine. "Looks like a doberman," he said.
"What's it doing all the way out here?" Arthur asked, rubbing his chin as he thought of the possibilities.
The doberman suddenly began glowing, green armor covering his head, torso, and ankles. Silver plates appeared around his shoulder blades, and a blue wrap appearing around his waist, two blue guns manifesting, with one strapped to each of the dog's sides. To top it all off a green symbol appeared on the dog's forehead, making his eyes glow red. The green symbol was a circle, a smaller circle within and a six sided star criss-crossing in the center. The armored canine smirked wickedly, before growling. "È lì, prepararsi a morire." (You there, prepare to die.)
The two explorers exchanged looks before backing away slowly. "That dog just spoke..."
"Something tells me that's not a dog!" Solomon said.
"You think it's a Duel Monster?"
"I do."
"Shall we run for our lives?" Arthur asked, looking over at Solomon.
"We shall," Solomon agreed, turning and running with Arthur as the canine opened fire.
The two ducked away from the attack, bobbing and weaving between trees to avoid the gunfire. "Open the gate!" Arthur yelled once they were within earshot.
The guard saw the canine chasing the two explorers, and quickly aimed his gun at the dog, hoping to hit it. The gate keeper cracked the gate open, just enough for the men to get inside. The guard on the wall fired, hitting the dog in the eye. The canine let out a yelp, stopping in his tracks. He looked up at the guard on the wall and growled lowly "Si paga per quel!" (You'll pay for that!)
The dog turned, retreating for the time being, leaving the men to run inside the gate. Solomon and Arthur gripped their knees, bent over as they tried to catch their breath. "You two okay?" The guard asked, swinging down from the wall on his gear.
"Yeah, we're alright," Arthur assured.
"Well, either way, you should both go get checked over by the doctor," the guard informed them.
"Yeah, I think we'll do that anyway," Solomon managed, panting.
"Good," was all the man said before his line went up into the wall, and he went swinging away.
Aknamkanon chuckled at his young son. The little infant kicking around playfully on the floor, letting out little yelps that he used to get attention. His wife, Yamina, stood nearby, washing the dishes and watching the two of them play on the floor.
Little Yami lay on his back, his short, tri-colored, tousled locks flitting around his head in every direction. The base color of his hair was black, hilighted in blonde and red, and his bangs a beautiful golden color. His skin was tanned, like his father's, his slightly rounded eyes were captivating with their crimson color. The infant reached up, grabbing his father's black, speckled grey beard with his tiny hands. His eyes shined in amusement at his father's pain.
"You little punk," Aknamkanon chuckled, gently removing his son's hands from his beard. He put one of the tiny hands in his mouth, chewing on it playfully and earning a giggle from the baby.
A knock sounded at the door, earning the Sennens' attention. "I've got it dear, you play with Yami," Yamina said as she gracefully crossed the room. Her long red hair, highlighted blonde, swayed with her movements. Unlike Aknamkanon, she was pale with only slightly sun kissed skin, her eyes a red/brown color, and she wasn't very tall, then again none of her family really was. She opened the door, smiling at Arthur, Solomon, and Solomon's son and daughter-in-law. "Well hello," she greeted happily.
"Hey, Yamina," Lyra greeted happily, embracing the woman.
"Well, hello there," Aknamkanon greeted, walking over with Yami in his arms. "Ow!" he yelped, when Yami took a handful of his hair and pulled.
"Looks like the adorable little Yami found a new toy," Lyra chuckled.
"You silly boy, you can't have daddy's hair!" Yamina cooed, taking the baby from Aknamkanon. The baby giggled happily, taking his mother's hair in his tiny hands. "You can't have mommy's hair either," she chuckled, gently untangling his hands from her tresses. She walked away, Lyra walking along with her while Aknamkanon sat at the table with the other guests.
"What can I do for you two?" Aknamkanon asked.
"The guard on the wall wanted Solomon and myself to come see you. We were chased by what we believe to be a Duel Monster," Arthur informed him.
"Wow, well let me get my medical bag and we'll get you checked over."
The sound of glass breaking sent the men running to the back of the house where Lyra and Yamina stood. "Whoops," Yamina said sheepishly. "Sorry!" she apologized.
"I dunno who you scared more, us or Yami," Amun – Lyra's husband – pointed out, the infant yelling loudly in her arms with tears in his eyes.
"Shhh. Momma's got ya'," she whispered softly, walking away while gently bouncing the baby to quiet his cries.
Yamina admired the glow in her son's eyes as she bounced the baby. "You're a very special baby. You're going to change how this world sees things," she whispered the words that the Healer had told her the day that Yami was born. "Lady Isis says you'll play an important role in the future. I'm sure you'll have some hard times, but never give up Yami. Be strong, my brave, beautiful boy."
Me: Okay, that's where I'm ending the first chapter. I just wanted to get a start on it before I begin skipping around ^w^ I've prepared well for this story, and I hope that it comes out as great as it's played in my head. :3 Until next time everyone! *waves* Goodbye!
