Ok; I came up with this story after watching Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos (quite a good live-action Yu-Gi-Oh! show). I pitched the idea to my friends; and they liked it. So now, I'm going to write it. This is just the first chapter, but I will write more.

Ok; here goes!
(P.S. ROSO, Larthinox, Phoenix, Tess, and Master Valtor are owned by Tyler Telford, creator of ROSO.)

The Chaos of War

Chapter One: Distortion.

Valtor's POV

I smiled. All was going according to plan. "Master Valtor," Larthinox said, "the Orichalcos Gateway seems to be functioning."
"Excellent. The fusion of our dimensions should effectively keep Travis the Trainee away, allowing us to gain countless souls from another universe."

"Master Valtor," Tess asked, from the shadows, "would you like us to come along, as escorts?"

I frowned, flustered. "Must I explain the plan again to you imbeciles? We are all fusing our universe with the next universe, obtaining countless souls from it, consuming all of its population, and reseparating the separate universes. With the Orichalcos' power after this occurrence, Travis the Trainee, Xashin, and any who stand in my way will be obliterated, never to be seen in this universe again! Now do you all understand?"

All three of my comrades nodded, and I smirked. Most importantly, no one from the alternate universe could beat me. This plan was foolproof.

"Phoenix," I said, "Initiate Dimension Fusion."

"Yes, Master Valtor." Phoenix replied, throwing the switch. Travis the Trainee would never see this coming. Our base in the skies disappeared, reappearing in the next universe. This was going to be fun.

POV of… a Protagonist. Let's call him the Emerald Dynamo for now.

I just loved Dueling Network. It was more than a hobby; it was a way of life. My Firestar deck had been able to go on an unbroken winning streak since I had made it. I smirked as I took out my friend who went under the alias Cloud Soulsteel, under the username shadowangelus17. Everyone was telling me the archetype was way overpowered; I just agreed with them and blasted them into oblivion. It was fun.

All of a sudden, something strange happened. The feeling of the universe shifted around, and it seemed to change. I could see the Seal of Orichalcos in the background of it all, changing many things. I blacked out before I could see all the changes, as did my friends.

I woke up to the alarm. I knew it was time for classes at Phase academy; yet I had no clue exactly HOW I knew... after the last thing I remembered was my duel on DN with Cloud, I figured something was wrong. I pulled out my iTouch, and FaceTimed him. He wore a sullen face, as did I. The first thing I said was, "Ok; What the heck happened?" My friend answered, "No clue. But I feel as if I'm actually at Bloodmoon Duel Academy." I responded, "You are." And he started to smile. "Sweet." He said. "But what happened to our lives? The normal life we used to live with School and DN and Facebook?" I asked. "I don't know; meet me after classes, and we'll discuss it." He said. I nodded and then hung up. I pulled out a laptop I somehow had from beside my bed and turned it on. I typed in " .com," and it took me there. I logged in, and the first thing I saw was several notifications from Tess, Larthinox, and Tyler Telford, all from Dead Soldier Productions, creator and actors from the Yu-Gi-Oh YouTube show "Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos." The first post, from Tyler, which I read said, "This universe has gone horribly wrong… The Orichalcos is real now, and the Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos Characters are real. We underestimated them…" The next said, "Well, it seems this universe has put me at Eclipse Duel Academy. The Dimension Fusion was a success." I read on, still confused. Phoenix, evidently having a Facebook account now, commented, "Indeed. We have taken the bodies of the actors of our characters in this universe. This should be fun."

I was alarmed to see an alert on my computer, from Tyler Eitel, who was evidently a classmate at Phase, that said, "What are you doing? We have classes in, like, 10 minutes!" Panicking, I closed up my computer, got dressed, and got ready in under 5 minutes- record time. I grabbed my backpack and my Duel Disk, and ran to first period, which was a class labeled, "Chains, Rulings, and other Errata." Well, I did need to brush up on my chain mechanics. I stepped inside the classroom, and took my seat, which I knew for some reason. I somehow lasted the entire school day without making a fuss, except for once at lunch where Tyler almost gave me away.

After school, I met up with Cloud and Tyler at The Junction- a nearby dueling store where people could by card packs and duel for fun. I could see a Graveekeeper's Duelist taking on an Aztec Deck (Sun Dragon Inti, Moon Dragon Quilla, etc.). Cloud then walked in, and the three of us sat together at a table. I took a newspaper in my hand that said, "The Syndicate of Shadows Seals thousands." "This is not good." I say. "Apparently Valtor isn't the only one with the Orichalcos. Their leader, Allison Kushala, was the world champion before Ricardo, who was before Alyseus… I can only conclude that this universe has somehow fused with the ROSO Universe, and in a bad way. Evidently, the Orichalcos is completely real now."

Cloud and Tyler stared at me, with their jaws dropped in an anime-esque fashion. I shook my head disapprovingly. "So, Cloud… you wanna do a practice duel? Test out our decks in this universe?"

"What do you mean? Cloud said, before looking at his deck. His jaw dropped again as he saw his new cards. "Oh…" Tyler said after looking at his cards.

"So, do you accept my challenge?" I asked. Cloud nodded, and we waited for the Gravekeeper's vs. Aztec duel to finish. In the end, Necrovalley kept Inti from resurrecting, and Gravekeeper's Visionary attacked for the win.

I took off my jacket and looked at the decks I had under my possession. I was quite intrigued as to what decks I saw- they were from my imagination. There were so many, I had no clue what to pick! I saw a Dragon Deck, a ThunderForce Deck, a Chiller Deck, a Metallic Beast deck, a Shadow Warrior deck, a Voltpyre deck, a deck of birds, a Cascading deck, and, the one I chose to duel with; my Second Arch Hero deck. You see, the Arch Heroes were split into two factions: one that uses fusion monsters, and one that uses Xyz. I easily picked out the Xyz one, as I had given the first one to Tyler. He was pretty good with it, but he chose to use his own deck after a while- he's definitely better than he used to be. Anyway, I slipped the deck into my duel disk, setting the extra deck in yet another jacket pocket. Cloud picked up a deck from a red deck box and slipped it into his duel disk.

"Let's Duel!" We both shouted. The duel disk's life point meter read 4000. Cloud looked confused and asked, "Whatever happened to 8000?" I shrugged, smiling, and responded, "Well, this just got a lot more interesting. Let's duel this anyway!" Cloud nodded, returning the smile, and the duel commenced.

Cloud: 4000

Emerald: 4000

"I'll go first." Cloud said, drawing a card. He apparently seemed satisfied with his hand. "I activate Interstellar Blast." Cloud said, playing the card. A spell with an image of a meteor shower appeared on the field. "Next, I summon Meteor Warrior Souza (1800/1300) in attack mode!" A human-like being made out of magma appeared, with red and gold-colored armor and a huge sword. "I'll set a card and end. Your move, Emerald." The facedown appeared, and it was my turn.

"I'll draw!" I said, drawing my card. My first hand was: Hero's Legacy, Arch Hero Aquarius, Arch Hero Flameheart, Arch Hero Crystalheart, Delivery: Justice!, and Hero's Return. I said, "I summon Arch Hero Aquarius (1700/400)!" My monster, a hero with blue body armor and a huge scythe, appeared in a torrent of water. "Now, I activate his effect! Once per turn, by paying 200 life points, he gains 700 attack points until the end of the turn!" My monster's attack rose to 2400 in a burst of aquatic energy.

Cloud: 4000

Emerald: 3800

"Now, Aquarius! Attack!" My monster charged at other warrior. Before he completed the attack, however, Cloud caught me: "I activate my facedown; Meteoric Blaze! It's like Sakuretsu Armor, but after it resolves, it deals 500 damage to you."

My hero was struck by the meteor; instantly destroying it. The impact shot flames toward me, and I shuddered under the heat.

Cloud: 4000

Emerald: 3300

"I'll set two cards facedown and end." My two facedowns appeared, and Cloud drew his card.

"I summon Meteor Warrior Vulcorp (1600/1300)!" A warrior that looked like his first monster, except more birdlike in form, and carrying a polearm appeared. "Now I'll activate Vulcorp's first effect. In exchange for not attacking this turn, I'll destroy your two facedown cards." Vulcorp threw his polearm, which caught on fire as it flew. I grinned. "Not so fast!" I yelled. "I activate the effect of Arch Hero Crystalheart in my hand! Whenever an effect that would destroy a card(s) on my field activates, I can discard him to negate it and destroy the aggressor." Crystalheart appeared, a stunning young woman in a leotard and skirt studded with what had to be thousands of gems with the Arch Hero symbol on her chest, grabbed the polearm in midair and threw it back at Vulcorp, destroying it." Cloud said, "Well, I still have Souza. Now, I activate Split Personality. It's a continuous spell. Once per turn. by paying 300 life points, a monster under my control can attack directly."

Cloud: 3700

Emerald: 3300

"Now, Souza; go! Infernal Slash!" The monster raised its sword and rushed me. I stopped him, saying; "I activate a facedown; Hero's Return. I can special summon an Arch Hero from my grave in defense!" I risked a smile as Aquarius returned. "It matters not," Cloud said, grinning, "Souza has piercing." I stood in awe as his monster slashed his sword, cutting right through Aquarius and hitting me; knocking me backwards. Tyler tried to rush in to help, but I literally jumped up and waved him off, and he stepped back.

Cloud: 3700

Emerald: 1900

"I activate my other facedown: Hero's Legacy! When an Arch Hero is destroyed, I can special Summon another one from my deck. And I know just who to pick!" I searched through my deck, finally finding the card I wanted, then put it back in the duel disk, which automatically shuffled the deck. "Come on out; Arch Hero Defense Master (0/2200)!" Defense Master arose, floating on a circular shield with two shields; one attached to each arm. He knelt and took a defensive stance, and I felt secure knowing he was protecting me. "By ending my battle phase, Souza returns to my deck." I saw Souza salute, then be teleported like a bad Star Trek Parody into a card, which raced back into Cloud's deck. "I can then special summon another 'Meteor Warrior' from my deck. So, I'll special summon Meteor Warrior Kore (1900/0)!" Another warrior, similar to the first two appeared, except this one looked like a panther and carried a scimitar. "Thus, the effect of my Interstellar Blast activates. When a 'Meteor Warrior' is Special Summoned from my deck, You take 300 damage." I frowned as yet another meteor blasted into me.

Cloud: 3700

Emerald: 1600

"I end my turn." Cloud said, smirking.

I drew my card. I smiled, as another of my favorite heroes came to me. "I summon Arch Hero BlazeStar (1800/1500)!"

A beautiful woman appeared, with a skintight red bodysuit and a fireball in her hands; the arch hero symbol marking her as a member of my crew. She smiled at me as she settled into attack mode.

Next, I'll activate a Spell: 'Delivery: Justice!'! If I have two or more 'Arch Hero' monsters on my field, I can special summon another from my deck. I think I'll special summon Arch Hero Pterax (1600/1300)!" My monster appeared; yet another woman, except this time wearing a light brown body suit and with large, brown, birdlike wings coming out of her back. She flipped in the air before landing on the field. "Now I'll overlay my three monsters!" BlazeStar, Pterax, and Defense Master converged into a red vortex. By now, a crowd gathered, anxious to see what would happen next. I said, "Behold my Rank 4 Xyz Monster: Arch Hero Ultraviolet(2700/2000)!" I smiled as my powerful monster appeared, hovering. A man wearing a large, purple, mechanical suit similar to Iron Man appeared on the field. He did a fist pump in the air before landing on the field, three Overlay Units surrounding him. "Now, UV; Attack Kore! Violet Blaze!"

My monster smashed the Panther creature, shattering it into several pieces.

Cloud: 2900

Emerald: 1600

"Your move." I smirked to my friend.

"This is not over." Cloud said, as he drew his card. "I activate Meteor from Beyond: It resurrects a Meteor Warrior from my graveyard and then destroys one of your monsters."

Cloud brought back Meteor Warrior Kore (1900/0) as Ultraviolet was destroyed. "It's over," Cloud said, "Attack with Slashing Burn!" The Panther pounced towards me, its claws ablaze. I responded, "It's not over yet." With a resolute expression on my face, I discarded the last card in my hand. "I discard Arch Hero Flameheart from my hand. By discarding her when I take a direct attack, you take half the damage I would have taken, and I take half as well." I smile as Flameheart, another beautiful woman with red hair and a red and blue body suit appeared, blocking the panther. However, she then disappeared in an explosion, which injured both me and Cloud.

Cloud: 1950

Emerald: 750

Cloud, now ticked off, said, "Well, I get another monster because I end my battle Phase. I'll special summon Meteor Warrior Infernal Giant (2900/1700) by banishing my monster instead!" The panther was pulled into a portal as a monster larger than the others appeared. It was a large, fiendish creature, which seemed more malevolent than the others while still keeping with the red and black color scheme. It wore armor like a gladiator, and seemed more powerful than any monster I had ever faced. I was afraid of this behemoth; no questions asked. "And since I special summoned again, Interstellar Blast strikes again."

Cloud: 1950

Emerald: 450

"First, I'll activate the field Spell; Blazing Fortress! It gains one meteor counter every time a monster is special summoned to my field! By removing a counter, it can destroy a card on your field, but it can only be activated during my turn. It doesn't matter, though. I'm going to win!" Cloud inhaled deeply, out of breath from his rant. The field was enveloped in fire as a castle of pure flame burst from the ground, from a crater. Suddenly, meteors don't seem so cool anymore.

"And now, I'll activate Infernal Giant's effect: by paying one thousand life points, I can halve its level and attack, and then special summon two Meteor Warriors from my deck. So come out; Souza and Kore!"

The giant appeared to grow smaller as eight stars appeared; half of them disappeared, leaving four stars and only 1450 attack points. Souza (1800/1300) and Kore (1900/0) reappeared, so Interstellar Burst struck me again. Blazing Fortress gained one meteor counter. This did not look good at all.

Cloud: 1950

Emerald: 150

"You think this is bad? I'll make it worse! I overlay my three level four monsters!"

Infernal Giant, Souza, and Kore all flew into a red portal that was almost invisible from the burning battlefield. "Exceed Summon! I give you… Quasar Infinity Dragon (3200/0)!"

What I saw terrified me. From the portal appeared a Dragon that appeared to be formed by a supernova and a meteor combined, with angry eyes made out of blue flame and claws that looked like they could cut through diamond. Its tail was lined with burning spikes. Its wings were made completely out of fire. I was scared out of my mind by the creature, which only smiled maliciously and roared, showing its teeth, which looked to be as sharp as the sharpest sword in existence. I was paralyzed with fear.

"I end my turn… as if I had a choice. Quasar can't use its effect until my next turn… but when it does, you'll be finished."

I hesitated for a few seconds, then I drew my last card, my hand shaking. A glimmer of hope appeared as I held the card. "I discard the card in my hand; Arch Hero Shadowheart; by banishing any number of Arch Heroes from my graveyard, I can draw the number of cards. You would be able to negate it by discarding two cards, but you don't have any cards in your hand. I'll banish Aquarius and Defense Master to draw two cards." I put the two cards in my pocket, hoping my deck would come to the rescue. I picked up the first card; it was Blade of Justice; it wouldn't help, and I was getting hopeless… I drew the next card, and I almost cried tears of joy. "I banish Arch Heroes Flameheart, Crystalheart, and Shadowheart to special summon Arch Hero Divine Heart (2900/2400)!" My favorite monster appeared; a priestess figure wearing gold armor and holding a scepter that marked her place as a goddess. Her lustrous hair shone in the wind, and she almost seemed to glow in the radiance. The crowd that had gathered around our intense duel ooh-ed and aah-ed at the sight. Cloud smirked, saying, "It's still too weak." I smiled in return, saying, "Well, that means its effect must be amazing. And it is." Cloud raised an eyebrow, and I explained. "By banishing any number of cards from my graveyard, I can banish an equal number of cards on the field, then special summon a level four or lower Arch Hero from my graveyard. The only problem with this is that Divine Heart banishes herself when this is over, but I'm sure that won't be too much of an error." Cloud paled at this, while I just smirked. "I banish Hero's Legacy, Hero's Return, and Delivery: Justice! to banish Quasar Infinity Dragon," I smirked as the all-powerful dragon disappeared from the field; "Interstellar Blast, and Blazing Fortress." I was tired of the meteor theme, so I was happy to see that both cards were gone. Divine Heart then disappeared from the field, having pronounced her judgment. "With her effect, I special summon Arch Hero BlazeStar frommy graveyard." BlazeStar (1800/1500) reappeared, winking seductively at me before taking her pose. "You still can't win!" Cloud yelled. "That's where you're wrong. I activate Blade of Justice!" A golden sword appeared, held by Arch Hero Blazestar. "Well, what does that do?" Cloud asked. "Well," I replied, with a smile, "If my lifepoints are lower than yours, the monster equipped with this gained lifepoints equal to the difference." The sword glowed, blinding half of the audience, as BlazeStar's attack rose from 1800 to 3600. Cloud stood there in awe of the drastic change caused by divine intervention. "Now, BlazeStar; attack Directly! Execution Sentence!" BlazeStar jumped up, doing several flips in the air before slashing Cloud, ending the duel.

Cloud: 0

Emerald: 150

Emerald wins!

Cloud, still amazed that he lost, was knocked back by the last attack. I walked over to the other side of the field and held out my hand to him, which he accepted, standing. "Good game." I said. He nodded, and said, "Agreed. GG, Emerald." I heard a lot of applause coming from the crowd, who absolutely loved the intense match.

We walked out of The Junction, waving as we passed our new "fans". Once we had pushed our way through the crowd, we ran away from the mob; just wanting to talk alone.

We made our way to Sasuke Samurai, a pretty neat restaurant that was on the outskirts of the Academy grounds. We ordered our food and watched as they prepared our food in front of us, on a table with a grill fused in. It was absolutely delicious.

After dinner, we started to walk back to our Academies, but someone blocked our way. As we had all watched Revelations of the Seal of Orichalcos, we immediately knew who was in our way: A clone of Valtor. I asked, "What do you want?" angered that they dared to interrupt us as we were trying to figure out the new universe. "We need to talk." He said.

Thus ends the first chapter. So; what do you guys think? I hope you liked it.
