Swordmaszter: Hello everyone, and if any of you don't know me, my name is Swordmaszter. I usually work on my Super Smash Bros. story (check it out if you like that game), but I'm putting that on hold for a couple of weeks to think up some ideas for it, and because I just thought up of this very cool story for Yugioh. Now, I've never seen an action/adventure Yugioh story that deals with dual monsters on a quest, so I decided to make one of my own, and I think it's going to be pretty sweet, so I hope you all like it, but you all have to remember to pleeease review, so I can know what you think.

YOU MUST READ THIS PORTION Now for the first chapter, I only reveal a small portion of characters, and some stats, and background info about them, but more will be added, so don't think that this is all of the characters. The first name given for each character is the name written on their official Yugioh card. The name is ( ) is the name that I've made up for each (unless they already have a given name on the card. Ex-Gaia the Fierce Knight) of the dual monsters, and the name I'll be using in the story. Now I don't have all of the characters picked out yet, so in your reviews feel free to post any dual monsters that you would want to see as a side character, or even a main character. Post the name of the dual monster from the card, and a name that you have chosen for it (unless it already has one), and I'll see if I can find a place somewhere for it. Note. The character CAN NOT be anything that is on four legs, and all hero characters must be human-like (they can be a little freakish like Mystical elf, but not by much). So if you have any ideas, they feel free to post them. Well, here's the first section of characters.

Swordmaszter: Well, I hoped you all liked the characters, and if not, then post your own, and don't forget to review, to tell me what you think. Oh, and don't expect the next chapter until another week, or two, because I need time to organize all of your characters into my storyline, and also need time to pick out more characters. So the faster you review, then the faster I post. Oh, and If you want to check out my Super Smash Bros. fic, then just access It through my profile, and RR. Well, see you all next time.

Note: Just to let everyone know, I'm not one of those authors who doesn't finish stories (if you are one, then that's ok. I'm not saying anything bad about you), so I WILL finish this, and If I decide to take a brake. I'll tell you.
