Well, I told you I had already written up the first chapter. I will try and post the second chapter soon.
Gottoms: DX does not own the Yu-gi-oh card game, any Yu-gi-oh seasons, characters, or monsters. He does own the personalities given.
Chapter 1
The Meteor pt1
-Mount Jurra Base-
A desolate field to my left, a mountain of peril to my right. And in front of me, a blood bath. Warriors and monsters lay on the floor, while their comrades continue to fight. Each spray of blood more gruesome then the last. Blades flying. Fire searing. It was a massacre.
Just a normal day for an X-Saber.
Although my title is not associated with my tribe, everyone knows that Commander Gottoms,
Swordmaster will lead his warriors to combat, but only in defense. Our ways of the sword are matchless, and our numbers are many, but we are not a violent tribe.
That title belongs to the Flamvells.
A warrior appeared before me, her blonde hair blowing in the wind. Her armor was dented, and her chain-like sword stained with blood.
Anu Piranhalooked at me. "Commander, the Flamvells are retreating to their Crater. Shall we pursue?"
"Anu, have we ever given chase? It is not our way, young one. Tell our comrades to fall back to our home."
Anu wavered for a moment, and then nodded. "Understood, Commander." Then in a flash, she vanished.
I sighed and grasped my sword. The Flamvells have been relentlessly trying to take our earthen home. I do not know their reason, but I will not tolerate their violence. Us X-Sabers fight for sport, but the Flamvells are cold hearted, no matter how hot their flame burns.
I swept my cape over my sword and made my way toward our home. My armor was heavy to others, but I had trained day and night in this metal. To me, these were mere walking clothes, and did not hinder my descent from my perch.
I've been rather bored as of late, though. For the past few days, we've had many fights against invading Flamvells. During every fight, I stand on that perch, waiting for a challenge. But every invasion seems to yield the same grunt Flamvells just charging up front. I know their leader is single-minded, but you'd think that with all these attempts, he would have devised even a LITTLE strategy. No strong backup had come from the Crater. Although I could easily wipe out the scum, I dare not intervene with the fights. Us X-Sabers live by a code of pride:
Live and die to protect.
I stepped down into the village, and was greeted by a few warriors. I walked along and entered my house: a fortress built in the middle of the village. Upon entering, I spotted an old friend, Urbellum. Even though he had his skull-like helmet on, I could tell he had serious business.
"Sir Gottoms, I have news."
I was right
"It seems that during high noon, a Scout had been on duty at the Corners. At one point, he noticed a peculiar sight: a massive object above was casting a shadow above the middle of the Corners."
My interest peaked. "How can it be so? No object can get through the Wall!"
"The Wall seems to have opened for it. It is unknown in origin, and no one knows what to do. Pashuul presumes it will collide with the Corners in approximately 2 hours."
I started to question the possibilities, but shook it off. It was time to act. "Order those nearest the Corners to prepare a fortification at least 1 mile from the center of the Corners. Also, send 2 messengers to the Mist Valley and Ice Barrier to explain the situation. Anu Piranha and Airbellum will do. Understand?"
"Yes, Sir Gottoms, but what of the Flamvells?"
I paused and pondered for a second. "Fine. I guess even enemies need to know. Send Pashuul to the Crater to inform Uruquizas. And I want all three to report to me when they are done to confirm the message was passed."
"Yes, Sir." Urbellum dashed out of my house. I clenched my sword tightly.
"Let us hope we can prepare for this."
-Just outside the Mist Valley-
"Well, it seems too nice for today, doesn't it?"
I laughed loudly. The vibrations shook the ground beneath me. Falcon looked annoyed.
"What's so funny, big guy?"
"It's nothing really. You know I need a good laugh once in a while." I chuckled a little, but then a small gust passed my wings, and my expression faded. "Falcon, we may have spoken too soon. Even if it is really nice today, it won't stay that way for long. Better count your blessings, Falcon."
Falcon turned to me. "What are you going on about, TL?" Her abbreviation for my name made me chuckle a little, but then I looked at her seriously.
"The winds have stirred, Falcon. An anomaly is happening at this very moment."
"An anomaly? Of what kind?"
"It is hard to say. The winds are somewhat unclear. But it involves a shift in the Wall."
Falcon was wide-eyed. "Thunder Lord, that's insane! That Wall cannot be budged. And now you say it's suddenly shifted?"
"Yes, Falcon, the winds don't lie to me. They tell me of a shift in the Wall."
Falcon was dumbfounded, but could not argue. A power I've obtained in my days of peace was communication with the winds, which can stir different messages in the air.
I looked down just in time, for a sudden gust of wind brought forth a monster before me. He had a lion-like head and gloves with extended claws.
"X-Saber Airbellum with a message from Sir Gottoms."
I kneeled down to hear the lion more clearly. "Speak, my friend."
"There are reports of a phenomenon within the Corners. Gottoms wishes to inform you of an object that is headed for the Corners, which will hit in approximately 2 hours. Prepare as you wish."
I stood back up, my face having lost its joy. "Thank you, friend. You may go." After that, Airbellum vanished.
"TL, what was that all about?" Falcon looked up with concern.
"We must go tell the village." I lowered my hand and Falcon jumped up onto it. Then I placed the girl on my shoulder, and I started towards the Valley, disappearing into the mist. My eyes were accustomed to the dense clouds that covered the land. This mist helped in keeping out intruders, but we residents of the Mist Valley have been living in it so long we can clearly see though the moisture.
"TL, he said an object had passed though the Wall. What does that mean?"
I walked a few steps and saw the main village.
The birds overhead squawked with glee, and the residents on the ground were going about their normal day. The Valley has not been invaded by even the Flamvells, and the peace in the fertile land was almost normal.
Then the wind passed my wings, its grim message as clear as a crystal.
"It means I told you so."
Well, that gives us a basic story for the X-Sabers and Mist Valley's. Next chapter to come out in the near future.
Thunder Lord: Be a sport and review.
