Lord of the Rings: The War of the Dragons

Summary: Separated in a world where dragons are perceived to be beings of destruction, the Signers are forced to choose: fight on their own, or to make bonds with its people and fight as one. The War of the Ring may have ended, but the War of the Dragons begins.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything of Lord of the Rings or Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds or other things mentioned in this fic that may have licenses or other things belong to their owners. I only own OCs and the story plot…

Rating T: Mostly for violence and language.

Just a few things before you read:

1) Timeline:

This story takes place a few months after the War of the Ring for the Lord of the Rings. All of the main fellowship has returned to their respective homes. As for Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds this story takes place after the Dark Signer arc and before the WRGP starts. An accurate place would be episode 96 of the anime after Crow finally gets/shows his signer dragon officially.

2) Pairings:

Mostly canon pairings for Lord of the Rings (as most of them are married). As for 5Ds are YuseixAki and JackxCarly. I don't think there's anyone else around. It could add up though.

3) Canon wise:

Lord of the Rings is mostly movie based, so it's not too heavy. There are characters in the book like Lord Elrond's twin sons will be in the fic, so… you would expect a few mixtures from the movie and book. As for 5Ds, it's mostly anime canon as I have never read the manga.

A/N: My second crossover fic folks! Please be gentle and bear with me and be gentle with my grammar, English isn't my first language. This fic was inspired when I was reading 'A Guide to Tolkein' about Dragons in Middle Earth history. I love the five signer dragons and 5Ds a lot and thought how if there was a chance that I could get them in, so I'm going to give it a try for this fic.

Also this is the first Lord of the Rings and Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds xover on fanfiction dot net! Constructive reviews and ideas highly appreciated!

Enjoy!

Middle Earth.

In its high name Arda, given birth by Illuvatar and shaped by the Valar; it is a world of many beings magical and wonder, as well as good and evil.

A land brought upon many wars of light and darkness, the lands now stand in tranquil as one of the largest wars in the Third Age of the Sun has ended, bringing with it an age of peace.

Yet, this peace shall not come to pass unless the next coming of darkness is stopped.

For the darkness has not yet been defeated entirely, it lusts for vengeance, ever waiting and biding its time to strike.

The warning of the coming of next darkness has been told through the dreams of Middle Earth's leaders and its protectors, and a strange red light glowing, as if were to give hope upon them. It's form…
