Hello and welcome to another experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, as this will be the fourth MHA which Izuku Midoriya will star, but in a different way.
In the manga and anime, he was born Quirkless and aspired to become a hero like All Might, but was turned down before being given the OFA Quirk. Here an experimental idea popped in to my head, in which what would happen if Midoriya is in a DIFFERENT scenario.
Yup, it'll be something different, in which a sudden idea came to my head, such as what if Midoriya is Quirkless and yet doesn't attend a hero-course school but is making a living as a monster hunter of sorts, and that he would encounter a PAIR OF CARDCAPTORS.
That's right. This fic would be a crossover with the late 90s manga and anime, Cardcaptor Sakura, and here Midoriya would get to COMPETE with both Sakura and Syaoran in hunting down Clow Cards, but with a different twist. Aside from Cardcaptor Sakura, this fic is also based on a similar theme, and this is also based on the 2004 Japanese drama Kamen Rider Blade.
This fic would be AU, as there won't the any elements like UA Academy or the sorts, but there would be some select characters from My Hero Academia that would appear here and have different portrayals, while some characters from Cardcaptor Sakura would appear as well in certain upcoming chapters.
Although this fic would be T-rated as there will be a lot of actions, this would also have HORROR ELEMENTS, so be prepared as things would get VIOLENT in certain chapters so I'd advised that this fic won't be for anyone with the faint of heart…
And lastly, the initial characters that would have more focus would be Midoriya and Bakugo, but a third and fourth protagonists would follow as I'm still developing this fic.
Well, then…read on and enjoy!
Tomoeda…
A certain area that is located near the city of Tokyo, which is bustling with business and the like, and the scene shifts at an area near a forest-like area, where Meiling Li happened to arrive, as a few hours ago, Meiling arrived at Tomoeda after a few hours of flight from Hong Kong as she intend to resume middle school (she would be starting in the second year), and at present her cousin, Syaoran Li, is out at the moment doing an errand, and there Meiling decided to take a stroll and right now she is sitting on a bench and is taking a breather as she is looking forward to resume her middle school life alongside Syaoran, as well as with Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji.
"Oh…I sure can't wait to meet up with Sakura and Tomoyo…"
Suddenly Meiling blinked her eyes as she saw what appeared to be a green-skinned frog, hopping along and Meiling sighed as she wondered if she should go take a stroll somewhere else as she felt that she might get bored given that her friends are out at this time and she wished that something exciting might happen so as to alleviate her boredom while waiting for Syaoran to come home.
However Meiling blinked her eyes as she saw what appeared to be a magical energy levitating from the air, and it took Meiling a few seconds to become alarmed. Despite not possessing any magical abilities, she can tell that the energy-like signature is from a Clow Card, and there it struck the hapless frog, causing the amphibian to croak loudly in pain, as it is being bombarded by the Clow Card's energy.
After a few seconds, Meiling stared wide-eyed in horror as the scene shows that the frog is now enveloped with the power of a Clow Card, which it now became an anthropomorphic entirely, as it resembled a humanoid-looking frog while also resembling a humanoid Clow Card form, and there it saw a passing dog and the Frog-like entity attacked the dog by leaping onto it and crushed it with its bare foot, shocking Meiling as she realized that if the creature goes loose it might harm an innocent passerby.
"This isn't good…this is the first time I get to see a feral Clow Card…"
Suddenly two male teenagers arrived while onboard their motorcycles, and they appeared to be eighteen years old. One of the boys have a height of 5'5, and is described as somewhat short for his age, his round face is framed by a short mop of fluffy dark-green hair which curls up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular and his irises are the same shade of green as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance.
He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. This boy is described as "plain-looking" or "not standing out" by others.
The other boy is described as a young man of above-average height (his height is 5'8), with a slim, muscular build, and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, sandy blond hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright red in color.
His personality is that of crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive person, and he looked eager to get into action upon seeing the Frog-like creature and there Meiling overheard what the two boys are saying, surprised that they seem to know what they are facing against given that they were not shocked at what they just saw.
"Hey, Midoriya! Stop being a slowpoke!"
"I know that!"
"Quit slacking around and hurry up! That's the Clow Beast!"
"I know that, Bakugo!"
"Come on! We got to contain that freak!"
"Understood!"
"You know what to do, Midoriya?"
"Yeah…and I'm ready!"
The two boys are identified as Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, and there they began to engage the frog-like creature in combat, and while they managed to land a few blows, the frog-like creature began to leap around before hopping away, and there Bakugo told Midoriya to go after it and not let it escape towards the city, which Midoriya nodded.
"Hey, Midoriya! Stop being a slowpoke start attacking!"
"I know that, Bakugo!"
"Quit prancing around and hurry up! We can't let the Clow Beast get away!"
"I'm aware of that, Bakugo!"
"Come on! We got to contain that freak as quickly as possible !"
"Understood!"
"You know what to do, Midoriya?"
"Yeah…and I'm on it already!"
Meiling blinked her eyes upon hearing Bakugo calling the creature a Clow Beast, and as Bakugo and Midoriya boarded their motorcycles and began to pursue their target, whom Bakugo identified as the Frog Clow Beast, Meiling was tempted to bring out her smartphone and call her cousin, but then she saw a parked bicycle and decided to go after the two boys and find out more about what is going on here.
Meiling boarded the bicycle and began to pedal away, and the bicycle owner saw this and shouted at Meiling to give it back, but Meiling promised the owner that she would bring it back later.
"Hey!"
"Excuse me!"
"Stop!"
"Sorry, but it's an emergency!"
"That's my bike!"
"I'll bring it back! I promise!"
"You thief!"
"Later!"

BLADE BRAVE
Ch. 1: Prologue
About a few minutes later (ten minutes to be exact), Meiling arrived at a certain area as she is pursuing the two boys, and there something unexpected greeted her, as the Frog Clow Beast is seen sprawled on the ground, and there Meiling noticed that instead of the two boys, there were two individuals garbed in strange armors, where one whose armor is navy blue with silver outer armor, which has a SPADE symbol engraved on his chest armor while the helmet had COMPOUND EYES and a HORN, which vaguely resembled the head of a rhinoceros beetle.
Moreover he is armed with a thick sword whose hilt seemed to have a card holder.
The other whose armor is red with silver outer armor, which has a DIAMOND symbol engraved on his chest armor while the helmet had COMPOUND EYES and a TWO HORNS, which vaguely resembled the head of a stag beetle. He is armed with a strange gun that also has a card holder, and there the latter took out what appeared to be a blank Clow Card and threw it towards the unconscious Frog Clow Beast, and the Clow Card began to absorb the Clow Beast and it became a Clow Card before returning to the user's hand.
The scene shifts forward where you can see the Clow Card, which says Diamond 3: Upper Frog ( 3), and there the two armored individuals pulled what appeared to be a lever on the right side of their belt buckles and a pair of strange card-like projections appeared and enveloped the two, and their armors disappear, revealing to be Midoriya and Bakugo, and there the latter told Midoriya that he shouldn't be slacking off as they are still in the midst of hunting down more Clow Beasts, which Midoriya reiterated that he know that.
"Don't relax just yet, Midoriya."
"Yeah…"
"This is just the start…"
"I know, Bakugo…"
"There are more out there…and we'll be having our hands full."
"Yeah…"
"Okay, let's go, Midoriya."
"Okay."
As Midoriya and Bakugo boarded their motorcycles, they immediately left before Meiling had the chance to confront the two, and she realized that something is definitely going on here, and she reluctantly returned the bicycle to its owner and head for the Li house and wait for Syaoran, as she knew that he and Sakura must be informed of what happened just now and to find out if there is a new breed of Clow Cards or not.

Several days later…
The scene shifts at a town somewhere within Tomoeda, which is bustling with people, as many are walking and loitering around, shops filled with shoppers whilst restaurants are catering hungry patrons, some are dining in and others ordering take-outs.
Some shops are selling clothes and there are banks accommodating customers who wish to deposit their money while others are transacting, such as opening new accounts and withdrawing money from their ATM cards.
The scene shifts to other areas where shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.
"Hey!"
"Nice day, isn't it?"
"Today is a good day..."
"I love my job..."
"Life is so good..."
"I wish I have a good day..."
"Lots of money..."
"Lots of girls..."
The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality.
You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.
"Hello...please by our items..."
"They are cheaper..."
"...they are in good working condition..."
"You can try them if you like..."
"I promise you will like them..."
"I promise you will get your money's worth..."
"Here are the items on our display..."
"Pick the one you like..."
The area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.
Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:
- Nintendo Famicom
- Super Famicom
- Sega Mega Drive
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance
- Neo Geo
- Sony Playstation
- Sega Saturn
- Nintendo 64
In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.
"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"
"Yes...they are cool..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."
"Hmm..."
"Would you like to try them...?"
"..."
"I promise you will not regret it..."
By then a passing customer passed by the shop, and he appeared to be a businessman in his mid-20's, and saw the items on display and became intrigued by it and went inside the shop, looking at the consoles on display, and began inquiring about which console is the best to purchase, as he is wondering which one he should choose, and the merchant obliges as he patiently explained each of the consoles' abilities and specialties, and soon he recommended to the customer to buy the Super Famicom, saying that aside from having a lot of RARE games, which are in cartridge form, it was the most popular and well-sold consoles in its heydays, and even said that several games are colorful in terms of graphics and that there a lot of popular games to choose from.
The customer appeared to be enticed yet he wanted to be sure, so he asked the merchant to give him a demonstration, and the merchant obliges, and brought out the Super Famicom and attached it to a flat-screen TV and inserted a cartridge and activated it, and the customer watched in awe seeing that the merchant was not lying, and after testing out several games, the customer is pleased and agreed to purchase the console, and the merchant happily obliges as he prepared a box to put the Super Famicom in and said that as his way of showing thanks, he will give 50 Super Famicom games for 70% discount, which the customer is pleased with this.
"Really? You will sell the games at 70% discount?"
"Yes, sir..."
"Thanks!"
"Please choose the games that you like..."
"I'll take these..."
"Here you go..."
"Thanks!"
"Have a good day, sir..."
After that, the customer got what he wanted, paid the merchant and left, and the other customers were awed in seeing that the merchant had sold a popular classic console to an adult, and they began asking the merchant for opinion on which console is the best besides the Super Famicom, and merchant began to show out the other consoles and offered to show its power and the number of games that are available, and after seeing them, the customers lined up and brought out their money and ordered their desired consoles and its games.
"I want the Sega Mega Drive!"
"The Neo Geo!"
"Give me the Nintendo 64!"
"I want the Game Boy Advance!"
"I want the Nintendo Famicom!"
"I want all of it!"
"Everyone...calm down...form a line and I will accommodate you all..."
"Hurry up, then!"
As the citizens are doing their usual thing, they have no idea about the recent events, and there Tomoyo Daidouji happened to be passing by as she is just left a department store and as she is on her way towards a parking lot where her car and driver are waiting, she blinked her eyes as she saw what appeared to be a magical energy levitating from the air, and it took Tomoyo a few seconds to become alarmed.
Despite not possessing any magical abilities, she can tell that the energy-like signature is from a Clow Card, and there it went towards the ground where a small lizard is there and the Clow Card-like energy struck the hapless reptile, causing it to shudder in pain, as it is being bombarded by the Clow Card's energy.
After a few seconds, Tomoyo stared wide-eyed in horror as the scene shows that the lizard is now enveloped with the power of a Clow Card, which it now became an anthropomorphic entity, as it resembled a humanoid-looking lizard while also resembling a humanoid Clow Card form, becoming the Lizard Clow Beast.
"No way…"
As Tomoyo brought out her smartphone and recorded the scene, the Lizard Clow Beast stared at Tomoyo and is ready to charge towards her, but then Midoriya arrive, already in his armored form and he immediately drew his weapon and began to engage the Clow Beast in battle, and he told the Clow Beast that he won't let him do as he pleases.
"Hold it right there!"
"Rrrrrrr…"
"You're not getting away!"
"Rrrrrrr…"
"I'm going to seal you!"
"Rrrrrrr…"
"And I mean right now!"
"Rrrrrrr…"
Tomoyo recorded the scene as the armored Midoriya, identified as Kamen Rider Blade, fights the Lizard Clow Beast, where it proved that it is a dangerous one as aside from having sharp talons, its tail has become sharp as a blade, and uses it to deflect Blade's sword strikes, and Blade realized that he has to defeat it before it gets a chance to escape towards the crowd which would result in a panic and stampede.
Suddenly, Bakugo arrived, also in his armored form, and there he drew his weapon, the Gun Rouser, which Tomoyo continue to record it and she blinked her eyes as Bakugo, now in his armored guise as Kamen Rider Garren, toggles his gun where it revealed the card holder and took out a Clow Card and swipes it onto the side of his gun, where a computerized voice spoke to confirm the activation.
Gun Rouser: "UPPER…"
The Clow Card levitated and glowed before it got absorbed into his armor, and there Garren went towards the Lizard Clow Beast and stomped on its foot, causing the Clow Beast to shriek in pain whilst Garren's right fist glowed with energy and he delivered an uppercut, sending the Clow Beast upward before landing on the ground and EXPLODED INTO FLAMES, and as the Clow Beast lay defeated, Blade took out a blank Clow Card and threw it towards the unconscious Clow Beast, and the Clow Card began to absorb the Clow Beast and it became a Clow Card before returning to the user's hand.
The scene shifts forward where you can see the Clow Card, which says Spade Two: Slash Lizard ( 2), and there Garren told Blade that now he has an extra Clow Card where it can at least power himself up to a degree so that he would be able to take down the other Clow Beasts, and there they deactivated their armors and both Bakugo and Midoriya boarded their motorcycles and left.
By then Syaoran and Meiling arrived, as the former sensed the Clow Beast's aura before losing it, and there the Li cousins saw Tomoyo and asked her if she noticed anything strange, and a shocked Tomoyo showed them her smartphone and told them this is what she managed to record.
"This is what I recorded so far…"
"No way…is this what you meant, Meiling…?"
"Yes…definitely!"
"So they're really Clow Cards?"
"Sort of…but Meiling said that they are…what are they again, Meiling?"
"Those two boys call it Clow Beasts…"
"Huh? Really? Then we should tell Sakura about this…"
"My thoughts exactly."
"Me too…"
The scene slowly went GRAINY and seconds later the next scene shows several Clow Cards starting to fly around in an erratic way, until a card suddenly got drawn and shown to the readers:
- Diamond Three: Upper Frog ( 3)
- Spade Two: Slash Lizard ( 2)
To Be Continued
