Okay, so I may need to clear up a few things before I get this story started. Don't worry that this is another Prologue deal, because I refused to put it up till I had the official first chapter done, even though it is a two part chapter. I guess I should start with a disclaimer.
Dark Magician: Daltorus I. Xeno does not own the Yu-gi-oh card game, any Yu-gi-oh Seasons, characters, or monsters featured in this story. He does have the right to the personalities he has given them, though.
Chapter 0-2
Clearing things up
Ok, so the first thing you need to know is that in this world, there are 3 Realms: The Human Realm, The Spirit World (or in this story, the Dueling Realm), and the Shadow Realm. Each one interconnects with the others, but the most important is the connection between the Human and Dueling Realm. Whenever a new card is created by Industrial Illusions, a new spirit is added to the Dueling Realm, and added to the Monster Archives. This story takes place in during the timeline of Yu-gi-oh 5D's.
Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corp have developed a new dueling system, similar to ta standard dueling robot, but more kid friendly with games related to the Duel Monsters game. These systems were called "Duel Terminals." With these new machines, Industrial Illusions created cards to only be released through Duel Terminals.
This "Hidden Arsenal," though, created a strange phenomenon within the Dueling Realm (much like a lot of cards created by I2.) The Duel Terminals linked into the Dueling Realm, but the monsters did not enter the main part of the Realm. The Duel Terminals had created a world separate from the rest of the Dueling Realm, while still inhabiting the Realm. "Planet DT" was covered by a rainbow veil, a "Wall" that separated it from the rest of the monsters. Nothing could get passed the Wall no matter how hard they tried.
Beneath the Wall was a world full of separation. The planet was divided into 4 landscapes, each inhabited by a tribe of monsters. The X-Sabers lived on fertile flatlands, where they could practice their swordsmanship. The Mist Vallies live in a Valley between two great mountains, the region always covered with thick mist that almost none could traverse. The Flamvells lived in a wasteland, in an imploded Volcano called the Crater. The Ice Barriers lived in a glacier-covered village, mostly cut off from the other tribes. There was a point of connection at a region of the planet where all four regions touched, called the Corners.
But there was one link left on the surface of the Dueling Realm: a dome-shaped veil in a desolate wasteland. There were miniature domes that covered the Planet DT as well. However, although monsters from the Planet DT could venture out and come back in, other monsters were forbidden to enter.
And that's the gist of the Duel Terminal world. Now to start the first chapter. :D Hope to hear from you soon.
