The Stardust Hero
Prologue chapter
Author's note
I don't own anything, I don't own My Hero Academia or Yu-GI-OH the Franchise or the card game
In the sky night inside the city of Musutafu, underneath the stars where the stardust falls was a Game shop.
Inside the game shop are tables and chairs, on them are gaming mats. mats for the player and, their opponent.
All around the yellow walls were posters. On the posters are posters are illustrations of strange creatures, of beasts, spellcasters, demons, fairies, among others what caught the eye, were dragons.
Big dragons, small dragons, scary dragons, and friendly dragons are all in different shapes and colors.
But most important of all in the store, are the cards.
Duel Monster Cards.
The popular game of duel monster created by Maximillion Pegasus. Created the game two centuries ago. From a simple card game, now a way of living in today's society.
Importantly.
Upstair of the shop is the home of the Midoriya family.
At the dining room table was the mother, Inko Midoriya counting the number of sales she did today at her lovely game shop. She was there sitting down doing final work before she calls it a day, with her is a cup of Earl Grey tea, with her is her tiny friend as small as three inches tall, eating her sweet of matcha macaron.
While Lady Midoriya is busy, her husband is with their son, getting their son into bed.
In the child's bedroom was a Man of 6 feet tall wearing his casual sleepwear, being shirtless and with red pyjama pants.
What's odd is he has his red harlequin jester hat with gold stars printed all around his hat, with stars on the tip of his jester hats.
The man has black curly hair, and freckles in a diamond pattern, what's noticeable about him is a green star neck tattoo with a yellow outline, and a small red star tattoo with a black outline on his cheek that makes it look like a tear is replaced with a star.
Standing next to him was a 3D hologram of a Magician being projected by his duel disk.
The man, Hisashi is with his son wearing a onesie of a duel monster of blue and gold.
His son was wearing a onesie of Elemental Hero Sparkman.
The young boy has green hair that matches the colours of his eyes just like his mother, he also matches the freckles in the same pattern as his father's.
And the boy's name.
Izuku Midoriya
He watches as his dad performs magic tricks with his partner
Hisashi holds his whole duel monster's deck in front of his son's face, While Izuku has his eyes wide open as he closely watches he doesn't want to miss a thing.
"Alright Izuku, watch closely as I flip this deck of cards" Hisashi flips his cards, in which Izuku is giving him a confused look. "Too fast, alright I lower the speed." which Hisashi does, it was a nice slow speed in which Izuku sees the card clearly unlike before.
"Better, alright, now I want you to remember I can't see my cards but you do, So I want you to pick a card, any card, but don't say it just think of it, keep thinking about it and I'll show you, your card," Hisashi said, as Izuku just nodded. "Alright get ready Izuku, as I flip."
Hisashi flips his deck showing his whole deck to his son, Izuku watch slowly he saw cards being flipped, they are so fast it looks like a blur. But thankfully he saw one.
The card that he saw was a girl in a purple dress holding a staff with a gloved hand.
Izuku chose that card and as his dad's instructions, he cannot say it just thinks of that card.
"Alright Izuku, you got the card in your head?" the boy just nodded. "Alright just say the magic work, In 3, 2, 1!"
"Sha-Baa-Boo-Yee!" the boy cheered.
Izuku watch as his dad tosses his deck into the air. Suddenly his father's monster took one of the cards and place it on the duel disk.
A new monster appears in front of the boy as his smile gets wider than before to see his chosen card.
His father's monster spoke. "Izuku is this your card?" the monster asks.
"YES, OH YES! THAT'S MY CARD, How did you know? Performapal Sleight Hand Magician?" Izuku asks the monster now known as Performapal Sleight Hand Magician.
The monster has a magician's outfit in red and gold, with a black cape, he was wearing a red harlequin jester's hat with violet feathers on the tips of the hat was a blue gem on the right and a red on his left. Instead of having ordinary legs he had a giant blue gem, he also has two white wings, the monster was holding a magical rod with a blue gem on top of it. What's noticeable was his gold mask.
"Oh Well, I just have to apologize to you Izuku, because a magician cannot reveal his, or her secret. Ain't that right Hisashi?" the monster said.
"Sleight Hand Magician has a point, Also that is my last magic trick for the night little hero, can you help daddy pick up his cards," Hisashi asks his son.
The son got off his bed and helped his dad to pick up his deck, as he picks them up, the boy looks back at Sleight Hand Magician. "Hey Sleight Hand Magician, can you help us pick up the cards?" Izuku asks the monster.
The monster only shakes his head no. "Sorry Izuku, as you see I don't have legs but this huge as–butting diamond, I can't bend my knees because well I don't have knees." The monster said. "Also flying around with my current size instead of being in my, as you call, chibi size, is a bad idea. I'll be accidentally blowing your stuff and ruining your room in the process."
Izuku frowned knowing that his father's monster cannot help, and he cannot ask his mother's monster, the elf might be a spellcaster monster but she's more of a math wizard rather than Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo. But maybe he can ask for help from the monster he chose during his dad's magic trick.
The boy went closer to the monster with the violet dress and the glove staff, "Hey, you, Performapal Helpprincess can you help us pick up the cards."
But the monster didn't respond. So the boy starts to wave his hand in front of her face while jumping.
But no response, not even her eyes didn't move moved.
"Hello! Performapal Helpprincess, it rude to not respond to people when people are talking to you" said the boy as he is being lifted by his father.
"And it's rude to have you handwave in front of someone," Hisashi said. "What if Helpprincess was a real person or another spirit monster like Sleight Hand Magician? Can you imagine how they feel?"
The boy lowers his head. "I would feel annoyed if someone does to me and yeah it was really rude. But I don't understand daddy when I talk to Sleight Hand Magician he can talk and do stuff all on his own even when he's not summoned by your duel disk or when he's in his chibi size body. Why is that daddy?" Izuku asks his dad.
Hisashi puts down his son and places him on his bed. "Son It's time you know–" Hisashi was stopped by his monster.
"Woah! Hisashi, do you think Izuku is way too young to know about… You know… the birds and the bee… The eggplant and the peach emojis… The peni–"
"Sweet Mother of Obelisks, he's not ready to know. S.E.X. is only four-years-old, he'll learn that when he's older, also keep it P.G, not P.G 13 or Rated 18 for mature content
But Sleight Hand Magician only continues. "But Hisashi, you have to understand as Duel monsters, we don't understand the bonding of… S.E.X…" said Sleight Hand Magician. "Unlike you human, we understand standard human… understanding, we understand friendship, love, and sweeties, as much you human understand duelling. But we don't understand romance. The activity that you and Inko did back in your honeymoon" from that last word Hisashi cover Izuku's ears to protect his innocents.
"Mystical Elf and I have no clue what is happening as we watch." from this Sleight Hand Magician starts to do hand gestures of a single finger and the hand shaping like a circle. In which Hisashi blocks Izuku's view with his whole torso now his back is facing his monster while covering his son's ears.
"Mystical Elf thought is a form of duelling, and wonders why Inko isn't fighting back but only calls for your name in high volume. My theory believes it was a new summoning technique, I knew it was's Fusion, Synchro or Xyz. Ra, forbid! I was glad it wasn't ritual or tribute, but why does it take nine months to summon."
Hisashi had enough from his monster's inappropriate discussion about baby-making. He grabbed took Sleigh Hand Magician's card away from his duel disk and command him to stay on his card instead of his spirit form.
Hisashi lets go of his son's ears as he apologies to his son. "Hey, Izuku, I'm sorry about Sleight Hand Magician, he can be… inappropriate," Hisashi said
Izuku just smiled at his dad as he giggled as Sleight Hand Magician reminded Izuku of a certain friend with a pouty mouth with ash-blond hair. But Izuku remembers that his dad is about to tell him something that he's old enough to hear, 'maybe he'll tell me where babies come from' he thought.
"Hey dad, you were about to tell me something what is it?" Izuku asks his dad.
Izuku didn't reply his dad just fix his deck and place it on his deck holder. When that was done he sat down on Izuku's bed. "Izuku do you ever wonder why a monster card like Sleight Hand Magician and your mother's Mystical Elf, can talk and roam around." Hisashi notice Izuku tilted his head not understanding the last word he said. "Floating around." Izuku understands and answers by nodding.
Hisashi continues his story. "And as you see earlier that Helpprincess isn't responding whatsoever, and no it's just because I didn't have a command as I would do in a duel, an action duel or in a turbo duel, like the turbo duelist that we watch on TV," Hisashi said he remembers something else for Izuku to understand. "Or the Pro Heroes saving the day or catching the villain with their duel monsters"
Izuku nodded
"We'll Izuku those are just command like how I would have my monster to attack other monsters, and thanks to the Arc system by the Leo Akaba's invention solid light holograms became possible, that is why monster card can save people and fight villains."
"All of that is done by science dating back 200 years ago by Seto Kaiba, he a genius in the world of invention and duelling, I hear that he played his adoptive father to adopt him and his brother by winning a game of chest. But more importantly, because of him and Leo Akaba duelling became from gaming mats into duel disk, don't get me started with Turbo Duel, Action Duel, and Vrains."
"But all of that is all science talk. Hey, there is a reason why Sleight Hand Magician and others like him have free will, is because it isn't the inventions but something beyond science. Do you remember the king of games?" Hisashi asks his son.
Izuku took a moment to think, he remember how his dad talked about the greatness duelist of all time, bigger than All Might according to his dad.
Then it finally click. "The king of games, Yugi Moto, the one with awesome hair," Izuku said as his dad only nodded with a small chuckle escaping his smile.
"Yes, the one with the awesome hair. Yugi Moto was the king of games during his lifetime. But When he passed away in his old age, he let out a story of the impossible. When he was a teen he solve this ancient puzzle in the shape of a gold pyramid. I don't remember the details that much but, according to Yugi himself in his document that he wasn't duelling alone, that there was a time that he had a partner. A soul that came from the puzzle and possesses Yugi."
"Of course, many people didn't believe Yugi, even though he was looked up to. But a year before Yugi passes away. Something happened, there was no cosmic event like Halley's comment or Planetary conjunction that is when the planet alignment. Nothing like that happened. But what happened is impossible. Duel monster cards gaining their own will like a ghost. The world freak out, of course, monsters coming out from the card themselves that had nothing to do with duel disk by Kaiba Corp.
"The world was angry and scared. But people didn't know that was only half of the population of students from Duel Academy have monster spirits way before the documentary of Yugi Moto. The same resolve with turbo duelist and they're very famous for their high status, are started the movement to live side by side in peaceful coexistence with the duelist and spirit monster."
"All over the world, un-duelist, duelist, and spirit monster became our world of the living, our society. Because of Duelist and Spirit monster working together duelling became a dream come true, it was a new era, but like any new era they are those who would use their duelling skills to create crime and injustice."
"At first, a police officer wasn't enough, the officers are great duelists the problem was the criminals were stronger skilled duelist themselves who can out-duelled the police officer."
"The world was in a panic, police offers are being defeated again and again. The King of Games himself was in his death bed just holding for to life but unable to duel yet alone to lift one card. The world was hopeless."
As Hisashi tells his story to his son Izuku hugging his pillow feeling scared as much as the people in the story were feeling, hear that the King of Games cannot duel due to his old age it felt hopeless, he just hopes that the story gets better.
"When all seems lost, Duelist all around the world start to stand up for themselves and defeat the criminals. They also did something that is never seen before because it was unheard of before. Their Spirit monsters were helping and they start saving lives. The first-ever record video watch this is an old video." Hisashi took out his smartphone and watched a video with his son.
The video showed a duelist and his summoned spirit monster saving a school bus from falling from the bridge. The spirit monster who save the day was a humanoid-lion monster, with some kind of a ring blade that cut the wire of the bridge to save the bus.
The monster itself was Wheel of Prophecy, and he was huge.
When the media came to take pictures of Wheel of Prophecy spoke and gave an interview.
"I know, when you look at me, I understand that you're scared and confused to see me. Because I am not like you, I am not human the same as my people. Monsters cards like me. I understand that you are scared because I look threatening and I have a strange ability beyond the understanding of man. Because of our gifts, you fear us in which you have every right. But judging me and my fellow people does not make you right, but blind. I may be a monster but I am not evil, including my duelist, my duelist is a human, like you, He cries when he sad, he laughs when he's happy, He's a Ravenclaw and he eats oreo with peanut butter, his favorite color is pink but hates wearing it, he loves his husband as much he loves his kids and me, but all in all human, and his my friend, and thanks to him we did the impossible, we saved lives, the lives of children inside this bus, I know that this doesn't automatically accept me and my kind like a snap of a finger. But let it be the first of many. By my duelist and I are not going anywhere, and we know there are many like out there in the world right now doing the right thing, to the world the fears and hates us. We're not doing this for fame, we're doing this because it's the right thing. Because it's what a hero would do. That is all."
When the video ended Izuku felt filled with hope and happiness. He just watch the first Duelist Hero, and thanks to them it changes the world's society. Because of them becoming and being a superhero is now possible, true the population of the world doesn't have superpowers, like in comic books.
But with duel monsters it is possible.
Izuku starts to understand the differences between Sleight Hand Magician, the rest of his dad's deck monster cards.
The rest of his cards are nothing more than paper and illustrations with words and colors.
But Sleight Hand Magician may be a monster card paper and illustrations but there is a spirit within the card.
From learning about this he wonders. His mommy and daddy both have spirit monsters, he wonders when can he have his Spirit Monster? His mommy owns a game shop filled with unopen cards, his daddy is a popular word known Duel-Entertainer well know to his stage name Scarlet Star Magician. He can learn how to duel from his dad it's one step to become…
A Duelist-Hero.
"Alright that was a good bedtime story, I know it wasn't a fairy tale, but you had an enjoyable time with daddy." from hearing the last sentence from his dad. Izuku's breathing became rapid it feels like he can't breathe and he can hear his heartbeat.
Hisashi tucks in his son and games him his favourite toy to sleep with. Elemental Hero Sparkman. Hisashi turns on his night light and Izuku's star projector. Now the room with purple and blue light filled in the bed, "Good night Izuku, I love you" before Hisashi could leave the room Izuku called for him.
"Dad wait, are you and mommy still getting the divorce?" Izuku said with a sad tone and he's just holding on to his tears. His dad has a sad look on his face and he decided to sit down on Izuku's bed, Izuku sat down too next to his dad.
"This isn't easy today Izuku. But yes." Hisashi said. "Your mother and I are getting a divorce."
Izuku hated to hear that, that his parents are being separated. He just needs to say something "Why?" or ask something. Why not.
Hisashi took a deep breath he knows this isn't easy to say to a four-year-old. "Well, your mother and I wanted to do different things in our lives, we knew way before we got married. We know marriage would be hard because we wanted two different things but we had to try so we got married." Hisashi said. "But there is something we agree on, and that is having you." Izuku smiled from he heard that. "When we were pregnant with you, we didn't want to know the gender, Mystical Elf was a great the best spirit to calm your mother during those months, Sleight Hand Magician in the other hand, He thought you were a new summoning technique, he complains that it took Inko 9 months to summon you, to this day is still the funniest thing that ever happens. After you were born. I went back to duel-entertaining, I'm always gone ever once a month travelling the world, when I was at home when you were a couple of months old you used to use Sleight Hand Magician as a binkie, you love sucking on Sleight Hand's gemstone.
Izuku only giggled from hearing that, he wonders what does Sleight Hand Magician felt when he was Izuku's Binkie.
Inside the card of Sleigh Hand Magician, from hearing Hisashi's story. He kissing the photograph photo of the three Egyptian Gods praying it won't happen again.
"Apart from me wanted to quit and help your mom, But your mother told me to continue my dream as a Duel-Entertaniar because she doesn't want to blame herself if I woke up one day and blame her, your mother's words not mine. But I don't want to leave you Izuku, I love you."
The father and son hugged and Izuku cried.
"There, there Izuku it's okay," Hisashi said drying the tears of Izuku. "Your mother and I talked the best option are to get a divorce and have share custody with you, So your mother can do her business downstair at the shop. While I can duel as a duel-entertainer in which means world travel. Don't worry little hero, the divorce won't happen until you are in first grade. As part of our divorce your mother and I will share you once a month, meaning you be living with me, then the next month with your mother, then the next month with me. I already found a condo, it's close to your dream school. U.A, it's like a five-minute walk."
Hisashi finally finishes pointing out the highlight, he knows he has to talk about the adjustment, he knows when Hisashi moves out he knows that it won't rainbows and sunshine down the road. "Izuku I'm going, to be honest with you, it won't be easy, and I understand you're too young to understand. But will feel really sad, because your life will change, and I want to let you know you are not the only one who feels sad, Daddy will be so dad too because I'm going to miss my little Hero."
Izuku cries at his dad, he understands that the divorce is going to suck, even though his parent won't be together at least he's going to see them and live with them, and maybe this is the best time to ask.
"I'm going to miss you, so much daddy. I love you so much." Izuku said as he wipe off his tears. "Daddy, I was wondering. Because mommy and you have Spirit Monsters, I was wondering when can I have mine?" Izuku asks.
Hisashi remove his jester hat and gave his son a smile. "That would be easy, you know I've been wanting to teach you how to duel before you learn how to ride a bike," Hisashi said. "Remember the paper you brought home to school?" Izuku only nodded. "Well, that was a letter to let us parents know that tomorrow, Monday, that the kids are getting their first card. Meaning your first card is your spirit monster."
Izuku beams in excitement. "Awesome, I can't wait to get my first card, I definitely getting Elemental Hero Neos and be my Spirit Monster just like All Might–" Izuku was interrupted by his dad.
"Woah there, Little Hero. it doesn't work that way" Izuku's smile have drop when he heard that.
"What do you mean?" Izuku sadly asks.
Hisashi took his son on his lap. "Well, Izuku it doesn't work that way, you see we don't choose our monster, the monster choice the duellist," Hisashi explains
Izuku feels down that, he won't get Elemental Hero Neos, Sparkman, Avian, Bubble Man, or even Burstrinatrix. Then again there are many cards and he can make any kind of deck.
Like the other heroes, Like Endeavor has his Volcanic monsters, he did stop a villain gang, Hawks save a whole plane of passengers from a plane crash with his monster Raidraptor- Ultimate Falcon. Lastly, he can recall that Mirko stopped a rockslide with Amazoness Empress, slashing those huge rocks with her sword.
Those are great Duellist-Heroes and they don't have an Elemental Hero in their decks.
Maybe just maybe, he too doesn't need a single Elemental Hero, what he needs is his own spirit monster.
"Alright I know that smile, it's Izuku who is excited about tomorrow's smile, but you still have classes after your get your spirit monster. You need to get some sleep" Hisashi said to his son. But before he left his son asked for him. "What is it Izuku?"
"Dad I learn a new word from Kacchan today when we were playing Hero. I need to know what the word means?" Izuku asks.
Hisashi worries that Izuku learns a new word from Katsuki, ever since the Deku nickname, he questions why Izuku is friends with Katsuki Bakugo. "This is the last question of the night Izuku, What's the word?" He asks.
Izuku has his eyes widen as they sparkle like stardust has he gets ready to say the word.
"What does Fuck mean?"
That night Izuku brush his tongue with soap. Besides saying the bad word he made his mother cry. Turns out Inko finish her counting her today's sell, and believe that was a great time to give Izuku his good night kiss as he sleeps. Unknown to her she was awake and said a bad word. From the word, Inko drop her teacup and cried for an hour. While Hisashi called Mitsuki about the word and that Izuku learn it from Katsuki.
Unknown to the Midoriya, When Mitsuki Bakugo learned about Katsuki saying a bad word, she punish her son by brushing his tongue with soap as well, as Masuru cried.
The Next Morning
Hisashi drove his family to Izuku's pre-school to see Izuku gets his first card.
Inko made them wear formal clothes knowing that this is a special day for the families to witness their kids their first card.
The child's Spirit monster is also their spiritual partner for life, their every own Jiminy Cricket but better than a bug wearing a tophat.
Hisashi was wearing a matching suit to Sleight Hand Magician, but instead of a jester hat he was wearing a tophat.
Inko is wearing a similar dress as her monster Mystical Elf but with her skirt only reaching her knees.
Izuku was wearing a dress shirt and a green sweater vest.
Izuku sees his friend Katsuki across a few families wearing a similar outfit as Izuku but with a black dress shirt with a red sweater vest. He looks angry than normal assuming it was the soap last night.
The school speaker went there was an announcement that kids are allowed to enter the Cardroom.
The kids fall in line, Katsuki was in front and Izuku was right behind him.
'It's happening, I'm getting my first card, I can't wait to meet my spirit monster whoever he or she is, it doesn't matter what monster type it is, Spellcaster, Beast, Fish, Rock, or even Plant. I'm going to make a new friend' Izuku thought.
The announcement went again saying they can go inside the room.
When they open the door it was their gym field with cards, on the table and on the wall. Izuku felt his shoulder being tugged by Katsuki.
"Come on, Deku let's find our–" Katsuki stops his speech when he hears a noise that only Katsuki can hear. "Wait what's that is that a new voice, it doesn't sound like any of the extra, come Deku."
Izuku followed Katsuki, he was confused that Kacchan was hearing something that he or others cannot hear. Everyone else followed the ash-blond boy.
Katsuki moved the pile of cards the voice is getting clearer and louder.
Katsuki finally found where the noise is coming from. Katsuki can hear its voice very clear, it's telling him to pick him up and say its name, as loud and proud as he could.
Katsuki pick up the white monster card, the monster was a dragon type with red and black, what was noticeable was the huge wings on its back and the three horns on its head.
SAY MY NAME AND WE ARE PARTNERS FOR LIFE, I'LL BE YOUR LOYAL SPIRIT MONSTER
SO PLEASE. SAY MY NAME!
Katsuki read the name on the card.
"RED DRAGON ARCHFIEND!" yelled the boy.
The card glowed and the monster flew out of the card in its mighty, powerful glory, he was huge the children felt the heat and the wind coming from the monster.
Katsuki had his eyes wide open to see his Spirit monster to be powerful, mighty with his glory. He knows it was stronger than his mother's spirit monster card of Witch of the Black Forest.
'I can surpass All Might, with you, your my dragon, my partner, my spirit monster.' Katsuki thought.
Red Dragon Archifield shrank down to 3 inches tall and bowed down to his partner. "You are my partner, my duellist, to this day consider me as your soul. How should I address you, Partner."
The ash-blond boy only smirks as he says his name. "Bakugo, Katsuki Bakugo."
Izuku wowed as he saw his friend get his spirit monster and kids gather all around him and praise him seeing how powerful the monster is. Level 8 Synchro Monster type Dark, with 3000 attack points.
'I know my spirit monster would be powerful too' Izuku thought.
After the praising of Bakugo, the rest of the kids start to hear their spirit monsters as well. Kids all around the room are getting their spirit monster, true, they're not as strong as Bakugo's monster, none of their monsters even reach 1000 attack points or even level 4. Making Bakugo's monster the strongest among the kids.
Five minutes left and Izuku hasn't heard any voice or seen a card glow as the kids describe. The only voice or glow that only you can see, no one else.
Izuku started to run all over the room trying to find his spirit monster. Because he's the only one left who didn't get one he starts trashing the piles of cards, trying to dig for his card like it was a precious treasure, or his favourite toy at home when he cannot find it.
"Please, let me have a spirit monster, Please, any monster, weak or strong? Just let it be my spirit monster. Please!" yelled the boy out loud as he dug for his card, his hard stop as he hears an announcement coming from the speakers.
Times Up! Now return to your parents and go to class and introduce to your class your spirit monster!
Izuku panic and start to dig desperately this time, 'I cannot be the only kid, who doesn't have his spirit monster, that is not fair, I want to be a Duelist hero. Please no!' cried the boy not letting his thought be said out loud.
The teacher noticed that there was only one kid left. The school principal asks the two guards from Pegasus Inc. to clean up the place as they are thankful that, that the current Pegasus heir brought out monster cards for the children's first card day.
The Principal notice that there was one child left. So he was one of the security guards to bring the boy to his classroom.
Panic, Panic was the only emotion Izuku felt, as he saw as the employees of Pegasus Inc is clearing out the room.
"No please my card might be there! Please, give me a chance!" he was grabbed by the school's security guard as he carried the boy out. "Pl-please, No, I haven't gotten my card yet, pl-please stop Please!"
Please!
There it was Izuku Midoriya didn't get his monster card, his classmates learn that the Midoriya boy didn't get his spirit card while everyone else did, they all laugh at the boy. Giving him a new nickname,
Spiritless
Nightfall comes again and star lights the skies, the young Midoriya was sitting down. Watching his favorite hero and the video of Wheel of Prophecy that he watch his father the night before, he asks his parents a question.
"Mommy, D-Daddy, is it still possible for m-me to be, a h-hero. L-like, them" he pointed to the video showing a Muscular man with his muscular monster Elemental Hero Neos holding bodies out from a burning building. On the other window was a paused video of the image of Wheel of Prophecy holding the school bus from falling off the bridge.
The mother Inko wasn't sure to tell his son, she didn't want to give him fault hope, She may have a spirit monster she may use to be a duelist, but she was never a hero. She ran to her son and gave him a hug as she apologize, as for her monster. Mystical Elf hugged Izuku's cheek apologizing as well.
But as the father, he only kneels down to his son with the same amount of tears on his face. But with a hopeful smile.
"Little Hero, daddy may not be a Duelist-Hero, but I am a Duelist, what I am saying that being a Duelist-Hero without Spirit Monster," Hisashi said as the boy stare at his dad in his hopelessness of times. "But, that didn't stop the King of Games."
From the title mention alone Izuku stopped crying.
"You see. Yugi Motto didn't have a spirit monster, the same with Jack Atlas and he was known as the Master of Faster, or even Playmaker and he saved Vrains. Those three are great examples who are heroes in their own right even without spirit monsters just their decks and their skills. So, son, I think you should stop crying because you're making me and Sleigh Hand Magician cry because." Hisashi places his forehead touching Izuku's forehead. "Because I believe. No, I don't believe it, Because I know you can. Like I said I'm going to teach you how to duel before you ride your bike, and you'll be a Duelist-Hero. I promise. Because I believe in you. Izuku."
Izuku stop his crying and hugged his parents and their spirit monster in a huge family hug.
From that day it was a sad day for the young Midoriya but, the love and support from his father gave him hope.
And from that night the boy never game up
As the night continues, well being the night, and stars glow as brighter than… normal the Midoriya family witness a shooting star, and it was being followed by, stardust.
