Prologue - Realm of the Gods.
Never annoy Kami-sama (You might just get killed)

Far away from wherever you are now, and then give or take a few thousand miles, Kami-sama slammed his head down onto a proverbial desk, while the powers of his realm swirled around him and destroyed everything within a twelve mile radius.

It came as no surprise to his servants.

Ever since the humans had invented the TV and gained the power to create realms themselves Kami-sama's head had been overwhelmed with the many different opinions concerning the stuff in the depths of every mortal's mind. And frankly hearing about how Satelight and Peach-Pit should just throw Shugo Chara Party into the trashcan where it belongs, having to deal with the ever annoying presence of the evil overlords known as 4Kids, AND hearing fangirls squabble over the latest hot bishie or (heaven forbid) an actual 3D, flesh and blood human male, was fated to turn someone insane.

Kami-sama was no exception.

Though thinking about it, the fact he was male probably did have a factor. Most guys have short fuses when they are trying to focus on doing paperwork and they suddenly get pelted with images of (insert random anime guy here) naked. And what made it worse was the fact that it wasn't his fault, but nobody believed him! Or they knew the real reason and just wanted to make fun of him!

Panting heavily, Kami-sama stood up and leant against a pillar which appeared out of nowhere, ready in earnest to serve his master. No doubt later it would go off and boast to all the other inanimate objects about how he had been of service to their ruler. That was the one and only problem when you summoned objects and then left them to their own devices for a hundred years or so. They tended to get rather chatty and arrogant, and it was just too bad that Kami-sama had since forgotten how to disenchant them. Which was a breath of fresh air for the usually still and mute objects from the human realm. At the very least they could discuss gossip without the fear of being attacked by an angry Kami on a bad hair day (and he had lots of those).

Nodding gratefully to the pillar he conjured up his throne and sat down, his head in his hands. If only he could find a way to make the nightmares stop, or find a way to extract revenge on the worst offenders in the many different types of media. After all, every time a human thought of something, it automatically turned into a realm which he had control over. So even if he couldn't stop the images from coming, he could take his revenge out on the characters populating the anime realms or better yet, he could kidnap a few actors or popstars from the human realm itself, and set them some challenges that would most likely kill them!

Chuckling slightly, his bad mood instantly quelled, he waved his arm and a chess board appeared. He made no effort to hide his gleeful expression from the increasingly freaked out furniture in the room, which included a carpet, a miniature version of the littlest elf, and a half broken clock that looked suspiciously like the one from Beauty and the Beast, however there was no way to prove it at that current moment in time. Almost feverishly he moved and rearranged the pieces like some kind of deadly dance, choreographing time and space to his design.

Even the fireplace shivered when it heard the insane cackling echoing throughout the God's chambers and beyond. Sometimes, it decided instantly, it was just better not to ask.

Within moments, ten groups of very different people found themselves in the realm of the Gods.

(Okay, this is a story set up in response to Sorakage-sama's Great Scavenger hunt challenge, and I hope I can see it through to the end. It is certainly a lot more epic than anything else I've written. The ten groups of people will be revealed next chapter, and they will include some of my favorite animes, tv shows, movies and bands XD.)

(Do not read this story if you have a problem with the content in it. While there will be no slash, as stated in the rules, I don't really want to have a ten post argument with another user about which anime is better, or you should have included this anime/movie/book/band/TV show ecetra, ecetra. I'm writing stuff that I'm familiar with, and I can't exactly write something that I haven't watched or read, ne?)

(And in case you're wondering about the story placement... Well, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Harry Potter are the main two fandoms in it, and I know the area has a large viewing. However if anyone feels strongly about the placement I'll move it. Where to I honestly don't know...)
