AN: Alright now, Here we are at the first chapter of my GOT/Chaotic crossover.
Unlike my other stories that have a more overarching plot, this one will largely be more episodic, just like the show. I may get into more connected arcs later on, but for now, this is how it will be.
Background: Several years ago, a game originating from Asshai or somewhere as far east began to travel Westward. No one knows exactly who is behind it, but whoever it is has printed cards in every language, though the common tongue is the most used. When buying a full beginner deck, you get a customary box made of simple metals to hold the cards.
Now, it has reached Westeros for two years and been accepted as a new pastime for just about anyone who was literate.
CHAPTER 1: From Snow falls to Lava Burns
JON
"Alright Snow, you ready to lose?" Theon asked as he finished flipping over his cards.
"No. But I am prepared to win." Jon replied, also flipping his cards.
The two young men, or boy, in Jon's case, who was still a few years shy of manhood had grown bored after practice in the training yard. To alleviate this boredom, they decided on a simple three on three match to pass the time until their mutual friend/brother Robb finished his additional lessons he needed as heir.
- - - - - - - - Marquis Darini - - - - - - - - Blugon
Jon- - Mhein - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Vidav - - Theon
- - - - - - - - Attacat- - - - - - - - - - - - - Crawsectus
"I see you still haven't made a choice for what tribe to use." Theon remarked upon seeing how mixed Jon's team was.
"Why would I ever limit myself to one group? Each one has good aspects." Jon retorted.
It was true. Theon and Robb mainly used Overworlders, Theon because they used Water attacks, and Robb because he just liked them. Arya had just started to play, and liked the Danians, if only because the thought of giant bugs made Sansa sick.
If Jon had to pick, he would say the Mipedians. Their invisibility gave them a huge advantage over any opponent they face, but there were ways to counter it. As such, while others began to gravitate to certain tribes, Jon kept on using mixed decks. He DID occasionally use a single tribe, but only to catch his opponent by surprise.
"I went first last time. You can." Jon offered Theon.
"Very well then." Theon said as he flipped over the top card of his location deck.
"Glacial Plains. Let's see now… Crawsectus attacks Attacat." Theon decided.
Jon and Theon moved the two cards over and flipped their Battle Gear.
Crawsectus had a Torinth Krinth, and Attacat had a Citadel Lodestone.
Both had 50 energy.
"Initiative is mine." Jon said as he drew an attack card.
"Progressive Speed for 15 damage." He played the attack, putting Crawsectus at 35 energy.
"Nice one. But not good enough. Rustoxic. And with Water and Earth 5, and over twice Attacat's Courage, that is 30 damage." Theon explained as Attacat was brought down to 20 Energy.
"Ember Whip. You have Water, so that is another 10 damage." Crawsectus and Attacat were tied at 20 Energy now.
"Terror-Flying Tackle. You're down to 5 Energy now." Theon gloated.
"And you have none. Paral-Eyes." Jon played the attack, and with the Speed boost, Crawsectus was down.
"Heh. Lucky draw. Alright now, your attack." Theon said as he moved Vidav up into Crawsectus' former spot.
Jon flipped over his location deck.
"Storm Tunnel." Jon announced, seeing a look of panic on Theon's face. That was the problem with focusing on Water Attacks.
"Marquis Darini attacks Blugon." Jon announced.
Blugon had a Levitar. Darini had a Torwegg.
Darini had 40 Energy, Blugon 35.
"Blugon has the first attack." Jon said as he began the battle.
"Power Pulse for 20 damage." Theon said, Bringing Darini down to 20 Energy.
"SlowSand for 20 damage." Jon said, bringing Blugon to 15 Energy.
"Mindsync just to get it out of my hand." Theon said, playing the no damage card, but lowering Darini's Wisdom.
"Ember Swarm, for another 10." Jon said. Blugon only had 5 Energy left.
"I Play Song of Resurgence, healing Blugon for 20." Theon said as he revealed his Mugic. Blugon was back at 25 Energy. "As for an attack, I play Obscuring Winds for 10 damage."
Marquis Darini was now down to a mere 10 energy.
"Pebblestorm." Jon played, bringing Bulgon back down to 10 as well, and hoping Theon would only deal 5 damage in the Storm Tunnel.
"And Scout's Strike finished Darini off." Theon placed the card down, ending the combat.
Jon sighed and moved Mhein forward.
Theon flipped over the location deck.
"Everrain. Blugon attacks Attacat." Theon declared.
Both still had their battlegear revealed.
Blugon had 35 energy, Attacat 50.
"Courage is tied, so my attack goes first. Ice Disk." Theon dealt 20 damage, bringing Attacat to 30.
"Earth Pulse for 10." Jon played, bringing Blugon to 25 Energy.
"Force Balls for 10 damage." Theon played. Attacat has 20 Energy.
"Progressive Speed." Jon played again. Blugon only had 10 Energy again.
"I play my other Mugic, Song of the Dyad, healing Blugon by 10. And I play Shriek Shock." Theon reduced Attacat to 15 Energy, while bringing himself up to 15.
"And Ember Whip ends it." Jon revealed. The attack dealt additional damage against opponents with Water.
"My attack." Jon said as he flipped his location.
"The Phlogiston. Mhein attacks Vidav." Jon declared.
Mhein had a Mowercycle. Vidav had a Liquidizer which gave him Water for the combat.
Vidav had 35 Energy. Mhein though…
"Mhein gains 5 Energy for every creature in both our Discard piles, which is 3. He gains 15 Energy."
Mhein began combat with 65 energy.
"At the Phlogiston, we both gain Fire, giving Mhein all four elements. He attacks first as well." Jon explained.
"Airsault, knocks you down by 15 Energy." Jon said, putting Vidav at 20 Energy.
"Caustic Cascade." Theon played. Mhein was now at 45 Energy.
"Torrent of Flame ends it." Jon played, ending the match.
"Lucky break Snow." Theon grunted out.
"I would not be so sure about that." A new voice spoke.
Jon and Theon turned and looked at Robb, who had appeared to just walk in.
"Father finally done with you?" Jon asked, to which Robb nodded.
"What do you mean it wasn't luck?" Theon asked.
"Well, I have been keeping track. Jon, when was the last time you lost a full game?" Robb asked.
Jon thought for a moment."Now that you mention it, not for over a week."
"I think you have something like ten wins in a row now. Impressive I would say." Robb pointed out.
"Well maybe. But I doubt it will last." Theon said, gathering his cards up.
THAT NIGHT
Jon entered his room after dinner. He had a busy day tomorrow and had to get rest. He went to go put his Chaotic cards away only to notice something about his box.
The red symbol that represented the game was glowing like a star.
Then it was not. Then it was.
Jon was curious, and walked over to examine the box.
After a minute, he touched the red circle.
It stopped glowing and did not start again.
"That was strange. I must be more tired than I thought." Jon muttered to himself as he placed the box down and went to bed.
CHAOTIC
Jon immediately fell on the floor after feeling like he was falling down a hole. After regaining his bearings, he looked around.
The floor was white. Around him were a bunch of tables with many different people in them. He saw some that wore Northern furs, one wore lighter clothing he remembered Maester Luwin said was necessary for Dorne, and he even saw one that looked like the image he had seen of people from cities in Slaver's Bay.
A large metal...Thing flew by over him, holding a tray of some kind of food and placing it on a table.
"Ah, a newcomer. JS is it not?" A voice said. Jon turned around and saw another metal thing floating above him.
Panicking, he jumped to his feet and put his arms up, lessons on unarmed combat coming to him.
"HEY! WE GOT A FIRST TIMER!" another, more human voice called out.
Before he could do anything, Jon was grabbed from behind by several people.
"Trust us, this is going to be fine." One of his assailant's said.
Before he could respond, he found something stuffed in his mouth from behind. "I remember the last time this happened. They were a biter!" A female voice said.
"I got his Scanner, can't battle without it." One guy only a few years older said.
"Where to?" another girl asked.
"Drome Crellen." The metal responded.
As one, his assailants lifted him up, and brought him out of whatever building he was in, and towards another. This one was white and blue, and had several decorative additions that Jon saw no purpose in.
Suddenly, a red circle on the side opened up, and as one, the mob threw Jon inside.
They were nice enough to remove his gag first though, so that was good.
One also threw his Scanner, which, now that Jon could see, was his box for his cards, only far smaller and more compact than it had been before it started glowing. It also now had parts that moved near the bottom. He tried to open it, only for it not to move. He looked around at his surroundings.
The inside was a dark greenish, with light emanating from some part of the floor.
"JS" A deep voice spoke.
Jon looked around, and noticed a floating black and red… Is that the Chaotic Symbol?
"Wh-what is going on?" He asked.
"BEFORE WE BEGIN, YOU MUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. UP TO NOW, YOU HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO AS 'JS' TO KEEP YOUR IDENTITY HIDDEN. I WILL NOW LIST SEVERAL OTHER NAMES YOU CAN PICK FROM: WHITEWOLF, GHOSTCLAW, ICEBURN. CHOOSE THE ONE YOU MOST PREFER. YOU MAY CHANGE IT LATER IF YOU WISH."
Jon had no idea what was going on, but figured it was best to go along with it. "Uh… I guess Whitewolf will do for now."
"ACCEPTED. WHITEWOLF, YOUR FIRST MATCH BEGINS IN A FEW MOMENTS. YOUR OPPONENT WILL BE DESERTPRINCESS."
Suddenly, a second opening appeared on the opposite end Jon came in through. Through it a woman in Dornish attire walked in.
Suddenly, two metal poles appeared, one by where Jon stood, the other where the woman was walking to.
"WHITEWOLF, DOCK YOUR SCANNER ON THE HOLDER."
Jon was confused, until he saw the woman do so. He did as well.
Suddenly, a huge thing of light appeared in front of him, taking shape as a clear rectangle, but with wheels of squares of various colors at the bottom, and smaller lines of color making various shapes.
"WHITEWOLF, THIS WILL BE A ONE ON ONE BATTLE. TURN THE BLUE SQUARES TO SELECT A CREATURE AND MOVE IT ONTO THE BOARD. USE THE GREY FOR BATTLEGEAR, PURPLE FOR MUGIC, AND GREEN FOR LOCATIONS. YOU WILL DRAG EACH ONTO THE BOARD, BUT THE LOCATIONS WILL BE DRAGGED TO THE WHITE LOCATION RANDOMIZER UNDER THE SCREEN."
Jon touched the blue squares and moved them. Immediately, it brought up the artwork for one of his creatures, Owis. He kept turning it, seeing all the creatures he had in his deck. "Whoa." he said.
"First time?" The woman asked, as she was turning her circles and dragging images that Jon could not see.
"Yeah." Jon said.
"This will be easy." She said, and going by her tone, it was not encouragement to him.
'Okay then, gotta think of a strategy. The...Circle thing said it was one on one. In that case, I will go with my singular strongest creature.' He thought as he found Rothar and dragged him over.
'If it is one on one, then I should give Rothar a Mugician's Lyre so he can actually use Mugic. Which will be the Canon of Casualty.' He strategized, dragging it toward Rothar.
'As for locations… Ones that focus on things that can boost his stats or hurt his opponent. So Fear Valley, Gloomuch Swamp, and ones like those.' Jon thought as he dragged them down to the location randomizer.
"Alright, I'm done." Jon said, unsure what else to do.
"PLAYERS, LOCK YOUR DECKS. HIT THE ICON ON THE SCANNERS."
Jon did so, hitting the part that caused this mess in the first place.
Suddenly, his screen doubled in size as he saw his opponent's creature.
Going by it's Mugic symbol, it was an Overworlder. It looked to be a woman, and had skin that reminded him of some animal fur.
Jon tapped the Creature, and it's card appeared on the screen
Intress- Super Rare.
Energy: 45
Courage: 30
Power: 40
Wisdom: 35
Speed: 60
Ability: Water 5.
'Never seen that one before. Super Rare. No wonder.' Jon thought to himself.
"WHITEWOLF, AS THIS IS YOUR FIRST MATCH, SPIN THE LOCATION RANDOMIZER."
Jon did so, watching the screen go between locations until it settled on one.
"THE LOCATION SHALL BE… FEAR VALLEY. WHITEWOLF, CHOOSE YOUR ATTACKING CREATURE AND TARGET."
"Uh. Rothar attacks Intress." Jon said.
WHITEWOLF, PLEASE TOUCH YOUR IMAGE OF ROTHAR."
Jon did so.
And then… Things got weird.
Light appeared at Jon's feet, and started to crawl up his body. He suddenly felt heavier, but also stronger. Eventually, it reached his head, and he felt bone start to protrude from his head.
He looked at his arms, and saw they were red, and he felt a piece of metal in his nose.
He realized that he was wearing an identical outfit to what Rothar wore on his card art.
He was Rothar.
He looked up, and saw DesertPrincess touch Intress, and light appeared and turned her into Intress just as Jon was turned.
"Let's Get Chaotic!" Intress yelled.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Rothar found himself outside.
FEAR VALLEY
Rothar looked around, and he saw he was in a valley with monstrous carvings made of stone and tree.
Rothar began walking around.
"Okay then. This is real. Or, it could be a really vivid dream." Rothar said to himself as he began walking around, looking at the location.
He heard a shriek, and ran towards it. There he saw Intress being hurled in the air by a strange creature that looked like it was made of smoke. It disappeared soon after.
I-35 (77%)
Seeing it do so reminded Rothar of something.
'Fear Valley damages the Creature with the lowest Courage. Intress must have just taken the damage.' Rothar thought to himself.
"There you are." Intress said, seeing Rothar just standing there.
"Hang on-" Rothar said, putting his hands up.
"Power Pulse!" Intress said, shooting Green fists right at Rothar, hitting him and sending him flying back.
R-65 (86%)
As Rothar stood up and recovered from the attack, he saw Intress charge forward.
"Thermo Rings!" Intress yelled, sending rings of cold air at Rothar, but this time he managed to dodge it.
'I need to attack or I'm done for.' Rothar thought. But how did he do that?
He put his hand forward, almost instinctively. "Vine Snare!"
Suddenly, the ends of his fingers grew into green vines, and shot forward and wrapped around Intress, throwing her into the side of a rock. But at the same time, he felt a bit of pain when the vines vanished.
I-25 (55%)
R-60 (80%)
'That's right, Rothar has Recklessness 5. So I need to end this quickly.' Rothar thought as he felt the pain.
"Lucky shot." Intress said.
Suddenly, there was a blue light, and something that looked like a bracelet appeared on her arm.
'Is that… A Torrent Krinth?' Rothar thought.
"Ice Disks!" Intress yelled as she shot a shield shaped piece of ice right at Rothar, hitting him square in the chest.
R-35 (46%)
Not letting up on the attack, Intress got in close. "Scout's Strike!"
She slashed ar Rothar, forcing him back to recover from the hit.
R-20 (26%)
Having put distance between them, Rothar hid in the shadows of one of the trees. He figured he did not have much time. And he was right.
"Song of the Dyad!" He heard Intress call out. He began to hear music, and suddenly a blue light struck him, alerting Intress to his general location.
R-10 (13%)
"How do I get out of this… Wait, she summoned her Torrent Krinth, shouldn't I have a Mugician's Lyre?" he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, there was a light and he looked down and saw the lyre in his hands.
"Alright now, how do I do this…" Rothar said to himself. He saw Intress run past his hiding spot, only to turn around as he plucked at the Lyre's strings.
Feeling a strange rush of energy, Rothar, once again more on instinct than what Jon would expect, called out, "Canon of Casualty!"
Suddenly, as Intress ran forward, a yellow light descended from the sky, striking her down and throwing her to the side.
I-5 (11%)
Seeing his chance, Rothar jumped out of hiding and slammed the ground. "Rock Wave!"
The ground overturned, jutting into the air, and striking Intress, causing her to turn into blue light that enveloped Fear Valley.
CRELLEN DROME
The next moment, Rothar was back in the Crellen drome, standing where he first turned, while DesertPrincess stood back in her human form.
Rothar felt his body weaken as light enveloped him from both below and above. Eventually, Rothar was back to being Jon Snow.
"THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS WHITEWOLF. CONGRATULATIONS." The glowing Chaotic symbol announced in its deep voice.
DesertPrincess grunted. "Beginners luck." and then she walked out. The red door opened as she approached it.
WHITEWOLF, BEHIND YOU A DRONE IS AWAITING OUTSIDE THE DOOR TO GIVE YOU THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION INTO THE WORLD OF CHAOTIC. WE WISH YOU GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOUR FUTURE MATCHES." The Symbol said.
The door opened behind Jon, and he walked out. There, as he was told there would be, was a floating piece of metal.
"So then Whitewolf, I take it you have questions?" the metal spoke.
"Yeah, I guess I have a few." Jon answered, looking around now that he was outside the drome.
"I would recommend we walk back to the Port Court as we talk, it will take awhile." The metal spoke.
And so the two began walking.
AN: I was not planning on writing this before the other stories I have mentioned, but I found my old cards and got in the headspace for it.
As stated, this will be more episodic than other fics, and more focus on Chaotic than Westeros, at least for now. I will focus on reaching an end point of KOT and writing more for Power Shift before coming back to this, but I just had to get it written out.
