A Strange New World:

The Elder One was not happy and Livius himself knew it. He had failed in his mission and now the Elder One was furious with what happened.

"You had the girl and now you lost her!" The Elder One growled at Livius

"Oh master" Livius cried "I'm sorry that I failed you, but as a loyal servant of you, I accept whatever punishment you give me."

The Elder One looked at Livius but then turned away "As it happens, you were not a failure, you may have failed to bring the girl here but she was brought to this Dimension so all we need to do is find her." He stated

Gordian looked at him "But Master, what if the girl's friends find a way here and try to get her before we can?" he questioned

Calpernia answered that "Master has already thought of that" she claimed "I was able to influence their own portal which has now dropped everyone who came here in different locations. Now they will most likely try and find each other first"

The Elder One looked at his followers "While we're searching for the girl, we must also step up our mission to find the Last Old God and start advancing into the land. With most of the smaller groups in chaos because of the war, that leaves us able to take out these smaller factions easily. Maliphant is already fighting well with his group in the Emerald Forest with Duhaime but we must find another stronghold." He then looked at a few of his followers "Lucanus, I'm sending you to the ruins in the Western Approach to find Relics that can help us"

"It will be done Master," Lucanus stated

The Elder One then looked at another follower "Macrinus will also go to the Approach, we need a stronghold in the region due to the many ruins there, there is an Abandoned Keep, you will take some of our followers there including Servis. The Keep is heavily fortified and will be useful for us to maintain a foothold."

"I understand" Macrinus stated

And finally the Elder One looked at Samson, one of his top soldiers and reader of the Red Templars "And Samson, you will carry on with raids and capture anyone you can, duellists you will send to us so we can take control of them and anyone else you will send to the mines, they will be useful later"

"Yes master" Samson sneered "I will do whatever you command"

The Elder One smiled "You have you missions, now move out"

Kallian Tabris groaned as she opened her eyes and placed her hand on her head, she had a massive headache and had no idea what was going on. She remembered being pulled into the portal along with everyone else when the portal overpowered. She stood up and had a look around. She looked at her surroundings and saw that she was on some kind of rocky hillside. There were many rock formations around her but there was no sign of anyone else.

"Aedan!" she shouted out "Daylen! Sereda! Zane! Dr Crowler! Is there anyone here!" there was no answer and Kallian knew that she was alone. She felt a few tears forming in her eyes; she was alone and had no idea what to do. She never did plan to come through the portal and not be alone. She remembered what Alexius had stated about this Dimension and hoped that she didn't run into anyone dangerous. But it was clear that she would have to go and find help, there was no way she could do this on her own, she hoped that she could find someone who could help her or better yet, one of her friends.

But as Kallian started walking, she found it difficult to move and when she looked down, she found out why. She was no longer wearing her Ra Yellow Uniform; instead she wore some sort of green and brown dress made from cotton. She was confused as to why she was dressed like this but it got stranger when she scratched the side of her head and felt her ears seemed to be longer than before "What is going on?" she questioned but knew she would get no answers by waiting and so she decided to walk on to try and find help.

...

Kallian was not the only one who found herself to be alone. Theorn Maheriel woke up and saw that he was in some kind of forest. Theorn stood up and felt his face and found that his ears had also changed shape and become longer. "Where am I?" he questioned and then he was in for another shock when he looked at his clothes as he saw that his uniform had changed into some kind of leather armour. Theorn looked around and was worried as he had no idea where this forest went to and he could easily get lost. So Theorn decided that the only way was to walk in one direction until he found his way out of the forest or to a path that could lead him out of the forest. He saw that he still had his duel disk and deck so at least he had something with him. Theorn then got up and walked on "I just hope I can find a way out of here and not get lost" he said to himself.

Not everyone was on their own, Dr Crowler found that he was with Zane and were on some kind of field. Their clothes had changed into tunics but unlike Kallian and Theorn, their ears were the same.

Crowler however was unhappy "What is going on here" he demanded "Why am I dressed like this, I look stupid"

"I think it must be something to do with this world" Zane stated "We'll have to find someone who can explain to us. And we better try and find the others, if that portal overpowered then we're all scattered."

"I agree" Crowler claimed "Alexius stated that this world is dangerous. I just hope that no one has gotten hurt"

Zane looked towards the horizon "I'm more worried about Solona" he stated "She's been here longer than we have and she may have already gotten into trouble. I just hope that she's alright"

"I hope so too" Crowler claimed "Well we're not going to find her standing here, we better get moving and try and find civilization then we might find a way of locating the others."

Crowler and Zane then stood up and began walking to try and find the others.

Not all of this new world was countryside. There was a large city that was filled with activity. People were all around the city doing their normal daily duties. But this city was not a modern city; it looked like a city from medieval Europe as the people were all dressed in clothes that would have been worn in those times. There were even armed soldiers wearing armour patrolling the streets.

In an alley of the city, one young woman groaned as she woke up. The girl had long black hair and green eyes, it was Solona Amell, when she had been pulled into the portal, and this city was where she had been taken to. Solona looked around "Where am I?" she asked herself and then she gasped when she saw her clothes "And why am I dressed like this? This is so weird?" Solona then walked out of the Alley and saw the crowded streets of the city "What's going on, the last thing I remembered was being sucked into that portal when it reopened." Solona remembered being sucked into a portal and now she was separated from her friends "And this place looks nothing like any place that I've been to before. How am I supposed to find my friends now? How do I get home, what if I'm trapped here forever? Wherever here is." Solona felt a tear running from her eyes, she was a very brave girl but she had never been in a situation like this as now she was on her own and she had no idea what to do. Then she heard yelling and Solona walked along the streets to see several cages being transported through the street with people in them. Some of the people in these cages looked scared while others were throwing angry glares at the people who had gathered. The gathered crowd meanwhile yelled horrible things at the cages and others threw rotten food at them. Solona was totally confused as to what was going on "What's going on here?" she asked herself "What's with the cages"

Her question was answered by a young boy next to her "Why you should know" he stated "They're prisoners from the war."

"The war?" Solona questioned

"Yeah" the boy stated "The war that the Warrior faction is waging against those Spellcaster upstarts. Soon we will bring peace to this world and unite the world under our leadership."

Solona was totally confused to this, Warrior and Spellcaster were two types of monsters so could that be what the boy was meaning. Duelling in this world was split into groups of factions. But she didn't say anything.

The boy's smile turned into a frown "Are you okay?" he asked "You don't seem to understand what I'm saying?"

"I'm sorry" Solona stated "I'm just a little tired that's all"

"Well you should get some rest" the boy stated "And one of these days, I'm going to become a great duellist and be a part of the Warrior faction. If I train hard enough, I could be someone who leads soldiers on the battlefield"

"Well that's good to know" Solona said slowly as she had nothing else to say

"It's time to go son" a voice called and Solona saw a woman who she presumed was the boy's mother approach "We must get home so you can study if you ever what to join the Warriors"

"Yes mum" the boy whined as he did not look happy that he had to study and as the two of them left, the boy waved at her "It's was nice meeting you"

But then the mother turned her eyes on Solona and walked up to her "Excuse me young lady but how old are you?" she demanded

"Um, I'm fifteen" Solona answered "Why, is something wrong?"

"If you are that age then why aren't you training with the others your age?" the woman stated

Now Solona was getting worried "Wait, what do you mean?" she asked

"You know the laws here!" The woman snapped "All children above the ages of 14 must go to Gallows Duelling School to train"

"But I'm already in a Duel School?" Solona stated

More people who stood near her overheard her "That's impossible!" one man hissed "There is only one duelling School in the whole of the Warrior Faction. If you belong to another then that means that you are an enemy of the Warriors!"

Solona was now starting to worry so she began to walk backwards "Look I've had a bit of a rough day OK." She stated "I don't where I am or what's going on. I don't want any trouble so I think I'm just going to leave here and find out where am I" but as she walked away, a man dressed in armour blocked her path.

"You're not going anywhere young lady!" he snapped "You're coming with us to the Gallows in order to be re-educated in the Warrior ways" he then grabbed her hand but Solona was able to pull away and push past him. Then she began running through the crowd "Don't just stand there" the man shouted to other soldiers "Get here, a promotion for the one who captures her!" soon a group of soldiers began following her.

Solona meanwhile had come off the main street and into a few side streets "What kind of place is this?" she questioned herself "This place seems to be using Duelling for war and there is a war going on here. I have to find a way to get home" but as she began running through the streets, she eventually came to a dead end "Great, a dead end" but when she turned around, she saw a group of soldiers who had been following her blocking her only way out.

"There's no escape" one man taunted "Now come with us, you're going back to the Gallows"

"If you don't resist then you might just get off with a warning" another added

"And if you don't, then you know what the punishment is" the third man taunted

Solona gave a few deep breaths and then looked to see if there was any way of escaping. But the street was blocked and there were no other ways. But then she found a Duel Academy Duel Disk in a small bag that she had along with her duelling deck. So she placed the Duel Disk on her arm along with her deck.

The leader of the men laughed "So you're going to fight then" he stated "Well when I beat you it will give you additional punishment"

Solona narrowed her eyes "I've defeat many people before" she hissed "I've well skilled"

The man laughed "No one can beat the power of the Warrior army" he stated as he activated his own Duel Disk

"DUEL!"

Solona: 8000
Stranger: 8000

"Since I'm important, I'll go first" the man stated "And I'll start by summoning Marauding Captain in attack mode" the blond haired warrior with two swords appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1200 Defence 400) "and now his ability activates which allows me to summon a level 4 or lower warrior from my hand. And I choose my Command Knight" a red haired warrior wearing leather armour appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1200 Defence 1900) "And finally, I play the spell card Polymerization in order to fuse King's Knight, Queen's Knight and Jack's Knight in my hand" three knights appeared on the field which were then sucked into a portal "When the power of the knights of cards come together they create the rarest knight, one that doesn't like Jokes. I fusion summon, Arcana Knight Joker in attack mode" a tall knight wearing a blue kilt, chest armour with fancy designs and holding a sword in one had along with a dagger in the other appeared on the field (Level 9 Attack 3800 Defence 2500) "That will be all and there is nothing you can do that will beat me, I have a powerful monster on my field and he's even more powerful since Command Knight gives him an extra 400 attack points along with my other warrior monsters" all three of the monsters glowed as they gained power (MC Attack 1200-1600) (CK Attack 1200-1600) (AKJ Attack 3800-4200)

"Don't be so sure on that" Solona stated as she drew her card 'This deck seems similar to Kallian's and I happen to know those monster effects. I can only attack Marauding Captain and I can't take out Command Knight until I take out both monsters' she then smiled at her hand 'And this is the best hand I could get' so she selected her first card "I'll start by summoning Kaibaman in attack mode" the monster that looked like Seto Kaiba appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 200 Defence 700)

The people here had never seen this monster before and looked confused "Funny" one stated "That's a warrior but I've never heard of it"

"Doesn't matter" the man duelling Solona stated "That monster cannot stand up to my monsters."

Solona smirked "He can't but this can" she said "I activate Kaibaman's special ability, now I can tribute him to special summon this from my hand." Kaibaman vanished into golden particles which then took the shape of Solona's Blue Eyes "I summon Blue eyes White Dragon in attack mode" the blue and white scaled dragon appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2500)

"Wait, a dragon?" the duellist gasped "I've only heard stories about those monsters!"

Solona noticed that the man seemed scared which confused her, she had used this card many times and she never got a reaction like this but she carried on with her turn "Next I activate Dragon's shrine, this allows me to discard another Dragon type monster in my deck to the grave, so I send another Blue Eyes and since he's a normal monster, my third copy also goes to the graveyard."

"She has three powerful dragons!" one of the other man gasped "I've never seen anyone who has dragons as a deck, just who is this girl"

Solona looked at her opponent "And if you think one dragon is bad, it gets worse when three dragons combine into one, first I play Dark Factory of Mass Production which allows me to bring my two copies of Blue Eyes back to my hand" the two Blue Eyes returned to Solona's hand "And now I activate Polymerization which allows me to fuse my Blue Eyes on the field with the two in my hand" Blue Eyes rose up and the spirits of the other two appeared and were sucked into a portal "Three powerful dragons combined into one created a three headed beast that stops anything in its path. I Fusion summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon." The massive three headed dragon appeared on the field (Level 12 Attack 4500 Defence 3800) the three Warrior Faction members gasped in shock and now looked scared "And now I play the spell card Neutron Blast, this allows my Dragon to attack three times this turn, so attack that Captain" the first head sent a blast of blue fire which engulfed the Captain and destroyed him

Solona: 8000
Stranger: 5100

"Now attack that Arcana Knight Joker" Solona added and the second head blasted the Joker off the field

Solona: 8000
Stranger: 4800

"And finally, attack Command Knight" Solona finished as the final head's fire destroyed Command Knight

Solona: 8000
Stranger: 1900

"And it's not over yet" Solona smirked "With Diffusion, my dragon separates into the three dragons used to make him" Ultimate dragon separated into the three Blue Eyes White Dragons "I only need one to defeat you so one will attack you with Burst Stream of Destruction" one of the dragons fired a blast of blue fire which engulfed her opponent and sent him flying back into a wall where he crumbled to the ground.

Solona: 8000 (Winner)
Stranger: 0000

The three people who chased stared at Solona in shock; she had just defeated one of them in just one turn and with dragon decks. But they were terrified of her now and they just turned around and ran for it while the one Solona defeated quickly followed them. Solona just stared in shock and was totally confused as to what just happened. But she knew that she had to get out of here now while she had the chance, but she had no idea where to go.

"Hey" a voiced called quietly and Solona turned to see a woman standing nearby "I can help you get out of here, I know a way out and a place where you will be safe. I know you don't trust me but we have to go now before the Command sends more after you"

Solona knew that she couldn't trust strangers but she had no choice here and had to get out of this place and so she followed the strange woman, but bother were unaware that they were being watched from a nearby tower.

...

In a large castle in the city, two people were in what looked like an office. There was a desk with a load of papers on which needed signing and a seat to relax in. The woman sitting behind the desk wore armour just like the soldiers in the city but wore a red hood that covered her long blond hair and she had a badge on which showed that she was an important member. The man sitting opposite her was an older man with a bald heard and a thick grey beard.

"So Otto?" the woman questioned "How goes the war"

The man known as Otto sighed "Not as well as the people think Commander Meredith" he stated "The people believe we are winning but in truth, this war is just a stalemate, we cannot get into the Spellcaster territory and we have been unable to captured Redcliffe."

The woman now known as Command Meredith, leader of the Warrior Faction narrowed her eyes at Otto "I do not care how long it takes!" she snapped "I want that castle and those cards; they are what I need to wipe the Spellcaster scum from this world"

"I agree" Otto stated "Once those spellcasters have been dealt with, we will rule this world like we were meant to. Our Empire will be even greater than the one of the Dragons"

Meredith smiled until there was a knock at the door and another member of the Warrior faction walked in "Commander, I have two very important reports" the messenger claimed "There was a disturbance in the square today where a runaway duellist was found. Our warriors followed her but she put up a fight and she defeated them."

"Weaklings!" Meredith snarled "I will not tolerate that, I'll have them thrown into Aeonar for this, send a message to all those who are weak"

But there was more to say "There's more" he claimed "They said she used a deck filled with dragons and that she escaped the city thanks to a former member of us."

Meredith knew who the messenger was talking about "So she's returned" she sneered and turned to Otto "send one of our best after them, we'll capture them before they reach Redcliffe and then we'll have those dragons that this stranger has"

Otto sneered "It will be done commander" he stated and left to office to find the right person for the job.

...

Solona walked along the road with the woman who helped her who claimed her name was Evangeline. Solona hoped that she could help tell her where she was and what was going on.

"So what was that back there?" Solona asked her "Why did those people chase me?"

Evangeline looked at her "I take it you must be from one of the tribes that are unaffected by the war?" she questioned

Solona decided that she should play along so she didn't look crazy "Yes, I did not move away from my tribe and we don't talk much about this place."

Evangeline sighed "Well currently the two biggest tribes in this world are at war" she claimed "The Warrior Faction vs. the Spellcaster Faction. They haven't liked each other for years and they have had small fights in the past. But this is the first time that they've gone into all out war. The problem is that both their lands are blocked by the lands of the small tribes so now these groups are just victims of the war. The Warriors claim they're winning the war but in truth, this war is just a stalemate, neither side has been able to capture any land from the opposite side and only capture small fortresses from the lands between them"

Solona had another question "How did this war start?" she questioned

Evangeline looked at her "All I know is that the Warrior Leader Meredith just declare war one day, she's hated the Spellcaster Faction and some of her commanders think that the Warrior Faction should rule over all the other groups. So now they see it as a war of conquest and have attacked the smaller tribes to gain land. They capture the duellists and then brainwash them into their beliefs and ones who are not duellists are forced to accept their way of life. Of course, not all members of the Warrior Faction agreed with this. I was once a member of the Faction army and was proud to be one. But when we just attacked innocent tribes, I decided to leave and help these people. That's where we're going, to a tribe that I've been helping. They can explain more of this world to you when we get there."

But as they carried on down the road, they soon found their path blocked by a group of armoured soldiers and they had the same symbol that the soldiers in the city had "Great" Evangeline grumbled "They've found us already"

The leader of the soldiers laughed. This one was a woman with her brown hair tied into two buns at the back of her hair "One of our lookouts spotted the two of you together as you left the city" she sneered "So we knew where you were going and laid an ambush for you. Now you're both coming with us and you Evangeline will be tried for treason!"

Evangeline narrowed her eyes "I won't surrender Rylock!" she snapped "I don't give up that easily."

"Well then we duel and no matter if you win, I still have more men waiting for you" the woman known as Rylock smirked and the two of them stepped forward and activated their Duel Disks.

"DUEL!"

Evangeline: 8000
Rylock: 8000

"Since I'm not a deserter, I'll go first" Rylock smirked as she drew her sixth card "And I'll start by summoning X-Saber Anu Piranha in attack mode" a woman with blond hair, wearing red armour and wielding two katana swords appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 1100) "Then I'll throw one card facedown and end my turn"

"X-Sabers?" Solona questioned as she watched the duel "I've never heard of that deck before"

Evangeline narrowed her eyes "My draw" she hissed as she drew her sixth card "And first of all, I'm going to summon The Six Samurai-Yaichi in attack mode" a black armoured samurai warrior with yellow markings and wielding a bow appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1300 Defence 800)

"Six Samurai" Solona gasped "She had heard of this deck before and was deadly when used right

But Rylock laughed "Ha, that monster is no match for my X-Saber"

"He's not but I have another that is" Evangeline smirked "Since I control a Six Samurai monster, I can special summon Grandmaster of the Six Samurai in attack mode." A well trained man with scars along his body along with long white hair and an eye patch over one eye appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2100 Defence 800). "Now Grandmaster will destroy that X-Saber" The Grandmaster stood up and drew his swords before charging at the X-Saber before swinging his sword which cut through the warrior and destroyed her.

Evangeline: 8000
Rylock: 7700

"And now Yaichi will attack you directly" Evangeline added and then the archer fired an arrow from his bow which made Rylock groan in pain.

Evangeline: 8000
Rylock: 6400

"And now I will end my turn by throwing one card facedown" Evangeline finished "It's your move now"

"And I will make a comeback from my mistake" Rylock growled "First I play my facedown card, Call of the Haunted which allows me to bring my Anu Piranha back to the field." The red armoured warrior returned to the field "Next I summon X-Saber Palomuro in attack mode" an armoured green lizard with a sword appeared on the field (Level 1 Attack 200 Defence 300)

"She must be planning something" Solona stated as she watched "That monster is too weak to take on any of Evangeline's monsters"

Rylock heard her "I sure am planning something, Palomuro is a tuner monster"

"Tuner?" Solona gasped "Uh oh" she realised that Synchro summon must be a big thing in this place

"Now I tune my Level 1 Palomuro with my Level 4 Anu Piranha" Rylock stated as the Lizard turned into light and became a large ring which surrounded Anu Piranha who then turned into a beam of light "Warrior from the Old West, show just how they fight in today's battles, I Synchro summon X-Saber Wayne" a muscular warrior wearing ragged armour with blue cloth blowing in the wind along with a cowboy hat and wielding a pistol with a dagger on appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2100 Defence 400). "And now his ability activates which allows me to summon one level 4 or lower Warrior monster from my hand, so I summon Twin Sword Marauder in attack mode" a dark armoured warrior appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1000) "And finally, I play the spell card Block Attack which stitches your Grandmaster to defence mode" the Grandmaster knelt down.

Solona realised that Evangeline was in trouble because of Twin Sword Marauder's special ability "When Marauder attacks a defence mode monster; it can attack again and deals piercing damage."

"That's right" Rylock smirked "I see you know our monster's effects. Now Marauder, attack that Grandmaster" The Marauder swung his sword and slashed Grandmaster in two and the sword struck Evangeline as well

Evangeline: 7200
Rylock: 6400

"And thanks to my Marauder's special ability, since he attacked a defence mode monster, he can attack again so destroy that Yaichi" the Marauder swung again and this time destroyed the Archer which dealt more damage to Evangeline

Evangeline: 6900
Rylock: 6400

"And now you're wide open so Wayne will attack you directly" Rylock added and Wayne fired a shot from his pistol which blew Evangeline back making her groan in pain

Evangeline: 4800
Rylock: 6400

"Now you see what happens when you desert the Warrior Faction" Rylock sneered "You're weak while I've become strong"

"You've also become arrogant" Evangeline smirked "You think that you're invincible even though duels can go either way. And now it's my turn" Evangeline drew her next card "And since you control a monster while I don't, I can special summon Elder of the Six Samurai in attack mode" a large decorative carriage with a small man kneeling inside appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 400 Defence 0) "And now I play the spell card Cunning of the Six Samurai, now I can sacrifice my Elder and summon my Grandmaster again" Elder was engulfed in light and replaced with the Grandmaster again "And while I may not be able to destroy that Wayne, I can still destroy your Marauder, so attack" Grandmaster drew his sword and slashed the Marauder which then shattered

Evangeline: 4800
Rylock: 5900

"And then to boast my defence, I summon Chamberlain of the Six Samurai in defence mode" Evangeline added and a warrior with mechanical arms appeared on the field kneeling down (Level 3 Attack 200 Defence 2000) "And now I will end my turn"

Rylock narrowed her eyes at Evangeline "I'm not a fool!" she hissed "I won't waste my Wayne, so I'm going to equip him with the equip spell Axe of Despair, this gives him an extra 1000 attack points" a large spooky axe appeared in the other hand of Wayne (XSW Attack 2100-3100). "And he's going to use this attack boost to destroy that Grandmaster again" Wayne swung his newly acquired axe and slashed Grandmaster again and destroyed him.

Evangeline: 3800
Rylock: 5900

"And that will be all I do since I can't attack again but next time, you will lose your defence and I will defeat you" Rylock stated

Evangeline narrowed her eyes at Rylock "We'll see about that" she hissed as she drew her next card "First of, I play the spell card Six Samurai United, now when I summon a Six Samurai monster, a Bushido counter is added to it. When two are added, I can send it to the graveyard and draw two cards. Now I summon Six Samurai Zanji in attack mode" a Samurai warrior with orange colour and with a bandaged arm and wielding a long katana appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 1300). "And this gives me a token on my Six Samurai United" (SSU BC: 1) "And then I play my facedown card, Return of the Six Samurai, you thought you've seen the last of my Grandmaster, well you're wrong because he's returning" Grandmaster appeared on the field once again.

But Rylock wasn't worried "You may have two monsters but they're useless" she sneered, "Your Grandmaster will be destroyed at the end of the turn thanks to the effect of your trap and they don't have the strength to defeat my Wayne"

"Maybe not" Evangeline stated "But since Grandmaster was summoned, I get another token" (SSU BC: 2) "And with two counters, I can now sacrifice my trap to draw two cards." Six Samurai United turned into golden particles and Evangeline drew two more cards and she smirked at one of them "And since I control three Six Samurai monsters, I can play the spell card Six Strike Triple Impact, since I control three Six Samurai monsters, I can destroy all your monsters, so go, destroy that Wayne." Zanji, Grandmaster and Chamberlain placed their weapons together and then send a blast of magic at Rylock's field and when the smoke cleared, Rylock's field was empty "And with your field empty, you're wide open for an attack, so now both Zanji and Grandmaster will attack you directly." Grandmaster and Zanji both slashed Rylock with their swords, which made Rylock groan in pain.

Evangeline: 3800
Rylock: 2000

"And now I will end my turn by placing one card facedown which means that Grandmaster is destroyed" Evangeline finished as Grandmaster faded from the field "It's your move again"

Rylock narrowed her eyes as she drew her card "This isn't over yet!" she spat "And I'll show you what happens when you make a fool out of me. I play the spell Card Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two new cards" Rylock drew two cards from her deck and when she looked at them, she smirked. "It's a shame that one card is all it takes for you to lose all your best monsters. I play the spell card Lightning Vortex, this card allow me to destroy all face up monsters on your field by discarding one card from my hand" Evangeline gasped as Rylock discarded one card from her hand and then a powerful Lightning storm formed around the field and then lightning strikes struck armour the field and destroyed Zanji and Chamberlain. "And now I play another spell card in my hand, Monster Reborn, this allows me to bring my Anu Piranha back from the grave" the warrior woman returned to the field "And now I summon X-Saber Airbellum in attack mode" an armoured tiger with metal clawed gloves on his hands appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1600 Defence 200). "And to protect myself from that facedown, I'll destroy it with Mystical Space Typhoon" a blue whirlwind blew Evangeline's facedown which turned out to be Mirror Force off the field. "And now you're wide open, so now my monsters will attack you directly" Rylock ordered and smirked as her monsters charged forward. Anu Piranha slashed Evangeline with her sword while Airbellum slashed her with his claws and the attacks threw Evangeline to the ground and she groaned in pain.

Evangeline: 400
Rylock: 2000

"Evangeline!" Solona gasped and then narrowed her eyes at Rylock "How could you do something like that and be happy about it"

Rylock smirked "It's my job" she stated "I do whatever Commander Meredith orders me to do and I serve loyally. "I was ordered to bring in the traitor and the runaway and that's what I'll do. As soon as I beat her, I will defeat you and I'm not like that fool you defeated back in Kirkwall. Then the two of you will be coming back with us where your fate will be decided by the Court"

Evangeline then managed to push herself up "You'll have to beat us first" she hissed "This Duel's not over and I'm not giving up"

"Maybe you should" Rylock sneered "It would be so much easier"

"I never liked doing things the easy way" Evangeline smirked as she drew her next card "And first of all, I'm going to summon Six Samurai Irou in attack mode" a Samurai warrior wearing dark clothing and wielding a large Katana appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1700 Defence 1200). "And now I play the spell card Double Summon which allows me to normal summon twice this turn, though I may not have any more monsters in my hand, I do have this, the spell Card of Demise, now I can draw until I have five cards in my hand though I have to discard my entire hand in five turns but this duel will be over by then." Evangeline drew until she held five cards in her hand "And it's even better now because I can summon Six Samurai Kamon in attack mode" a Samurai warrior wearing orange-red armour appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1500 Defence 1000) "And now since I control two Six Samurai warriors, I can summon the master of all the Six Samurai. The great teacher and the person the Samurai follow. I summon Great Shogun Shien in attack mode" a red armoured Samurai warrior with a flame on top of his head appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2500 Defence 2400).

Solona gasped as now she saw that Evangeline was in a good position to win.

"Shien, destroy Anu once again" Evangeline ordered and then the Shogun slashed his Katana and slashed Anu in two who then shattered

Evangeline: 400
Rylock: 1300

"Then Irou will destroy Airbellum" Evangeline added and Irou slashed Airbellum with his Katana

Evangeline: 400
Rylock: 1200

"And now you're wide open, finish him Kamon" Evangeline ordered and then Kamon lit some kind of grenade and threw it towards Rylock and then it exploded and blew Rylock onto her back

Evangeline: 400 (Winner)
Rylock: 0000

Evangeline smirked as Rylock fell to the ground "I win"

Rylock looked at Evangeline and Solona with hate in her eyes "Maybe so but you can't defeat all of us. We can't defeat you in a duel so let's see how the two of you do in a battle" she then turned to the other people with her "Get your monsters out and prepare for battle" the other Warrior Faction soldiers activated their own duel disks and place monsters into them and then a whole range of different Warrior type monsters appeared on the field. Evangeline stood in front of Solona and activated her duel disk, but then a blast came from the hills which destroyed one of the monsters on the Warrior's field.

Solona turned to see several Sea Serpent monsters including several Water Dragons that her friend Bastion used back at Duel Academy and several other Sea Serpent monsters which all then fired blasts of water which destroyed the Warrior monsters. Solona watched as several people emerged from the over the hills and were led by a red haired man dressed in smart clothing "You Warriors are not welcome here" the man said to Rylock and his group "Meredith has sent many Warriors onto my lands and we always repel them. Go back to Kirkwall and tell Meredith that she will not take my lands."

Rylock narrowed her eyes at the man "One of these days we will take your lands and when we do, those cards will be ours and we will show the Spellcasters what happens when you defy the Warriors" she then left with her men and the man then turned to Solona and Evangeline.

"How did you find us?" Evangeline asked

The man looked at her "Tomas said he spotted a Warrior patrol entering my lands. So I decided to lead a group and find out what they were doing and that led us to you." He then looked at Solona with suspicion "And who is this?"

Evangeline looked at Solona "Solona, this is Teagan Guerrin, he's the ruler of Redcliffe which was where we're going." She then looked at the man now called Teagan "Teagan, this is Solona, I helped her escape Kirkwall when the Warriors tried to capture her, she seems to Duel with a Dragon deck which is why those Warriors were chasing us but she's from an isolated group so she has no idea about what's going on"

Teagan looked at Solona "Anyone who hates the Warriors is a friend of mine" he stated "Now we must get back to Redcliffe before Meredith sends more warriors here. I can explain more when we get back"

Solona nodded and then she followed Teagan and the others to this place called Redcliffe. Hopefully she will be able to learn about where she was and if there was a way to get back home.

Over in the Mountain regions, Kallian Tabris wandered around but was running out of energy. She was tired and getting thirsty and hungry from climbing over hills and wanted a rest as well as a drink and something to eat. She then spotted a group of people in the distance but was unable to try and call for help because of how exhausted she was. She thought they were a mirage but then they seemed to be getting closer and then she collapsed from tiredness. The last thing she saw before she fell asleep were a few people standing above her with concerned looks on their faces.

Chapter End:

Notes: another chapter finished and I'm sorry with how long this one took but it was hard to write since I was using decks I didn't know very well. And I had trouble choosing the decks as well. But this is the first chapter in the world known as the Dimension of Dragons and the history of this world will be shown in the next chapter. Now I know I'm using more characters and places from the Dragon Age games but this will not be a complete crossover since this world is based on Thedas, it is not Thedas itself and the story is different as well. The world is split into several factions with each one based on a monster type. Originally, Rylock was going to use Harpie Ladies but that's a Wing Beast deck. Also, Evangeline will only use the simple Six Samurai since another major character will use an upgraded version with either Secret or Legendary Six Samurai.
