Work Text:
The Multiverse is a funny thing…. Heroes are created, Villains are born, and on the battle field, whether a drop of blood isn’t shed or Thousands of Bodies litter the area, is where they grow and solidify who they are, but destiny is a cruel Mistress as sometimes the ‘Heroes’ turn into the world’s worst enemy.
A god in charge of looking at this pocket of the universe decided to run a small experiment. selecting certain worlds for it. They choose a World with Multiple Dimensions but a single thing connecting them all, A world where Creation and Destruction worked in Harmony, a world filled with wonders, and a world where Heroes aren't a fantasy but a reality. After analyzing each world and making sure nothing would horribly affect any other universe he put the experiment into action.

*A group chat has been created*
*8 users have been added*
User 7: huh, what’s this?
User 2: Ok, I forgot the first rule of the Internet, don't click Fishy Links.
User 4: Huh? I thought this was the link for a dueling forum
User 6: Dueling what now?
User 8: I thought this was the link to my usual hero forum…. maybe someone bought the domain?
User 1: Um…. I think we need to slow down a bit.
User 3: I agree. this is weird… and I don’t trust any of you.
User 5: Should we do Introductions?
User 3: No we don’t even know what this is.
User 7: I have to agree with 3 here. Especially since this is a private Datapad
User 6: What’s a Datapad?
User 2: yeah It sounded like you were talking about something out of a Sci-fi Movie.
User 7: What's a Sci-Fi Movie?
User 1: Ok, you can't be serious. I even know what that is and I spend almost all of my time on board games and on building my puzzle.
User 4: Wait, what Puzzle?
User 1: A puzzle that I've been working on for a few years now. It says whoever solves it gets 1 wish from it.
User 8: A wish? Is that even possible?
User 1: Don't know but I have done a good job on it. I should have it completed soon.
User 3: what does the puzzle look like?
User 1: right now…. Like a weird Jigsaw in the form of a Pyramid
User 2: wait….
User 4: No Way. there’s no way we are talking with Him
User 7: what are you all talking about?
User 6: I’m curious about that too
User 8: That makes three of us
User 1: Four
User 2, User 3, User 4 and User 5: YOU’RE YUGI MUTO?!?!?
User 1: Wait, how do you guys know me?
User 1 name changed to Yugi
Yugi: I didn't do that…. How is that possible?
User 3: Maybe because most of us knew who you were? Like I said this group chat came out of nowhere.
User 7: Ok, I think we need to SLOW down. How do all 4 of you know Yugi?
User 2: know of him? Dude he’s the King of games.
Yugi: King of What?
User 4: Wait… Oh shit
User 5: Wait, you aren't the King of games yet?
Yugi: No. Is that a problem?
User 3: Depends if the way were talking is due to time travel
User 7: Time Travel?
User 8: can we…. stop and go back to the beginning? We need to understand what’s going on and who we are talking with?
User 6: yeah I would like a Moment to breathe and figure out what’s going on
User 4: oh so we are doing proper Introductions now.
User 3: looks like it. Yugi… want to do us the Honors?
Yugi: I guess, but I am still confused on how you know me. We will come back to it once we are done. My Name Is Yugi Muto, I’m 12, and I’m currently doing a Puzzle that grants me a wish
User 2: Alright I’m Jaden Yuki, 14, and trying to do anything to not do homework. I like dueling and I want to be a pro someday.
User 2 name changed to Jaden
Jaden: Sweet. I don't have to change it.
User 3: and it seems I am a year older than you Jaden, Speaking off. My name's Yusei Fudo. I live in Satellite and I'm currently with some friends after finishing off our first Duel gang.
User 3 name changed to Yusei
User 7: Duel Gang? What's that?
Yusei: So there's a popular game here called Duel Monster, it's so popular that a lot of things can be solved by playing a Duel. Duel Gangs have been popping all over Satellite and with how violent they become me and a group of friends are banding together to stop them.
User 4: Wait, you guys play Duel Monsters too? That's so cool. Can we play? Can you teach me how to be better?
Yusei: Can I have a rain check on that one? I am going to need my strength for this.
User 8: Can you tell us more about Duel monster and why it’s gone to this extent?
Yusei: Duel Monster has been part of our culture for a few decades now. The reason it came to this extent is because we live in Satelitte, an area where trash and criminals go when the City can't handle them.
Jaden: Sounds rough, sorry to hear that
Yusei: don't be, we were given a hand, we got to play with it.
User 6: Wait, criminals? Are you?
Yusei: No, I was born here. While I gave you the general description, in reality there’s a lot of poor people, orphans, or people that were thrown here either by mistake or by false charges.
User 7: reminds me of Tatooine.
User 8: what does the local market have to do with poor people?
User 7: wait Market? What are you talking about? I'm talking about a Planet
Everyone minus User 7: WAIT PLANET?
User 7: Um…. Yes?
User 6: Ok, can we finish the introduction AND THEN deal with the facts Aliens are a thing?
Yugi: adding it to the list.
User 4: Alright Um…. I'm Yuma Tsukumo, age 9, and I want to be the greatest Duelist ever.
User 4 named changed to Yuma
Yusei: greatest Duelist ever? I would have thought you would want to be the king of games.
Yuma: to be fair, I do want that too but I need to be realistic. I would never be as famous as Yugi but I want to give it a shot.
Yugi: How popular am I?
User 5: I don't think we have the time to explain it without completely derailing the convo and we have a lot of things to get to first.
User 6: yeah…. Let's wait until later.
User 8: want to share something 6?
User 7: he'll probably tell us when we're done.
User 6: *She
Yuma: wait what?
User 6: I'm a girl.
User 7: oh sorry didn't meant to
User 6: It's fine. We should continue with the introductions. I think 5 is next
User 5: Well I am Yuya Sakaki, I’m 10, I’m attending my Dad’s School, You Show Duel, and I want to be like him. A Dueltainer
User 5 named changed to Yuya
User 6: Am I the only one that noticed that there’s a bunch of names that start with the letter Y?
User 7: no idea what that letter is but yeah that’s weird.
Yuma: ….. Yugi, another for the list
Yugi: this is my life now.
User 8: Sorry I am still lost on the fact 6 is a girl
User 6: why? Girls can't be in what’s looking like a boy chat?
User 8: NO, No Not at all… it’s just…. I never talked to a girl before.
Yuya: why?
User 8: Um…. Can we discuss that later?
User 6: No, No you are answering that now. Why haven't you talked to girls before?
User 8: ……….. Because nobody wants to be associated with a quirkless nobody.
Jaden: Quirkless? what’s that?
Yusei: Isn't quirks like a tick that you do when nervous?
User 8: No, I'm talking about Super Powers.
User 7: Ok, you need to explain that and 6 and I can wait until you’re done AND Introduce yourself.
user 8: Y- Y- You don't have to
User 6: no no it’s fine 8. The convo will go to us later.
Yuya: yeah plus I am curious as to why you're so nervous. (at least how Im reading it) that way we can find a way to make you smile
User 8: …. ok…. My name is Izuku Midoriya, I'm 11, and as you know I’m quirkless
User 8 named changed to Izuku
Yuma: ok but what’s quirkless and what does that have anything to do with Superpowers Izuku.
Jaden: Yeah I’m kinda curious too
Yugi: Same
Izuku: well, in my world 80% of the population are born with superpowers, Otherwise known as Quirks; people can do anything from lifting things to breathing fire to super strength. you can all imagine that this would increase crime
Yugi: yeah it would….
Yusei: wait dont tell me
Jaden: SUPER HERO IS A REAL THING
Izuku: Yep, one of my favorite and the one I wanted to become is All Might, Japan’s Number 1 hero
User 7: Japón?
User 6: a country that exist on earth
User 7: earth? Wait, THAT PLANET EXISTS?
Yugi: LIST, also we’re getting off topic
User 6: yeah I also noticed how he talked in past tense, Izuku…. what happened?
Izuku: People are born with powers. I wasn't born that lucky. people without powers are known as Quirkless and…. Well Let’s say my childhood best friend hasn't been kind to me.
Jaden: that’s horrible.
Yusei: agreed. there’s people here with disabilities (the closest thing I can think of to compare it to rn) and even criminals have more compassion than your best friend
Izuku: thanks guys… but it’s just how it is.
User 7: that’s a lie and you know it
Izuku: ?
Yuma: he's right, you know. Yeah you've been given a bad hand but that doesn't mean you have to give up.
Izuku: ??
Jaden: yeah man, so what if the rest of the universe hates your guts? Or were unlucky on the birth Lottery? That doesn't give people the right to treat you like a lesser being
Izuku: but….
Yugi: no “But” you deserve people to support you. Not pushing you down for something you couldn't control
Izuku: I…. don't know what to say
User 6: Just accept it and realize we are gonna do this everytime you talk bad about yourself.
User 7: are you sure we’ll be able to manage that
User 6: We’ll make it work.
Yugi: thanks for the confidence boosts user 6
User 6: please call me Marinette, and yes I will start introducing myself
User 6 named changed to Marinette
Marinette: looks like It’s my turn to talk
User 7: then take it away Marinette
Marinette: alright, my name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, 12, and I want to be a fashion designer.
Yuya: Fashion Designer? What's that?
Marinette: it's people that make clothes. I always loved how clothes were made as well as any designs.
[Marinette has shared 8 photos in the chat]
Marinette: These are some of my personal projects. I have been working hard on them but my sewing machine broke down so I'm currently learning how to sew by hand.
Yugi: they look good for someone my age. How long have you been doing this?
Marinette: I don't remember, Probably for as long as I was able to move my hand… Now if only I wasn't an absolute Klutz.
Yuma: what do you mean by that?
Marinette: I am well known for tripping on myself for almost everything
Yuya: hah, I know that feeling.
Yuma: same.
Marinette: what do you mean?
Yuya: I don't know about Yuma…. but where I am we use a technology called Solid Vision that allows us to interact and even ride our monsters, as well as have certain Fields where we can play. You have no idea how many times I tripped while running around in action fields.
Yuma: I always accept a bunch of challenges. “to High Five the Sky” as my dad puts it. So it's not a surprise I trip while running OR doing something like jumping a couple of trash bots.
Yugi: Ok by the time we address this list, we'll be in our 20’s.
Marinette: yeah, sorry but we're almost done. I think it's your turn now Number 7.
User 7: Alright. The sooner I do it, the sooner I can have a word with Yuma about the whole…. Trash bot thing. My name is Anakin Skywalker. I'm 16, I'm a Padawan and trying to be a Jedi.
User 7 name changed to Anakin
Izuku: Um…. What's a Jedi?
Anakin: Um…. I guess the best comparison for you would be “Pro Hero", but instead of what sounds like a city it would be an entire Galaxy.
Marinette: wait Galaxy? Like you know of Aliens?
Anakin: yeah. Technically I am one since I'm on a planet that's not the same one I was born on. Also from the picture you send I can see Humans which is one of the most common Species in the Core (the part of the Galaxy I am rn). I have seen multiple other species since then…. Trust me If I had to list them AND some details of them we'll be here all day.
Jaden: yeah, let's not add more to the list…. At least for now.
Yusei: Yeah, we should also address what this so-called “Jedi” do and how you can become one.
Anakin: How we become one is…. A story for another day but you have to be in tune with the Living force.
Yuma: Living force?
Anakin: Again, a long story.
Yuya: we are using that work a bit too much
Anakin: I know, anyway once you get trained you raise the ranks from Padawan to Knight to Master.
Izuku: I see, but that seems like a very simple system
Anakin: Well there’s a lot of special titles like Master of the Order but I didn't want to fill the chat with that.
Yugi: fair enough, especially since we have a lot to get through AND explain Like how come Jaden, Yusei, Yuma and Yuya know me as the King of games.
Jaden: Oh I can explain it
Yusei: Jaden No. We're not sure if he’s from OUR past
Yuma: as much as I want to tell…. I do agree with Yusei in this
Yugi: why?
Yuma: has anyone seen the Back of the Future series?
Yugi: back to the what?
Jaden: No
Yusei: No
Yuya: Yes
Marinette: Yesss!!
Anakin: What is that?
Izuku: No
Yuma: …. we need to figure out if we can stream in this thing to make you all watch it
Marinette: Yeah. Long story short, Time travel is weird and if you mess with it you can cause something to happened like prevent your birth.
Anakin: Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
Marinette: It is but the point is, until we can make sure time travel isn't involved, we should probably limit any outside information like Who is a champion or what they’re doing in your time.
Yugi: sounds like a plan. Plus I need to ask about Duel Monster since I asked Grandpa about it and said it was a new game that’s about to be released for me
Jaden: Ok what do you want to know about?
Anakin: As long as we don't talk about my own deal for a bit I will be fine. I just got done with a training session with my Master and I needed a reset. Maybe I'll watch some podracers.
Yugi: What's Podrace?
Anakin: Oh boy, I need to fix that.
