Spirits And Flames: A Avengers Fanfiction Story

Act I:

Side Notes: If you haven't seen the whole Avengers(Earth's Mightiest Heroes) show, please do before reading this oneshot fanfiction. It'll make a lot more sense this way…since this is a ending for the unfinished Surtur plotline in the episode The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill and could very well be a ending for the whole series(especially because it involves some characters from the last episode Avengers Assemble and takes place after that episode).

But even if you don't want to watch all the episodes from the Avengers(Earth's Mightiest Heroes) show(but especially The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill and Avengers Assemble), you can look up things from any of the episodes on The Avengers(Earth's Mightiest Heroes) Wiki.

In Las Vegas, Nevada…

There is a very light green skyscraper of a tower called the Space Needle, looking over bright light tube signs and glass towers galore. The last time this tower was involved with the Avengers' battles, it had the Gamma monster obsessed Leader using it as a base of operations to try to turn Earth into a Gamma World.

Now back to a fully operational hotel for the rich and slightly rich, the outer space themed Space Needle internally modeled after old S.H.I.E.L.D. control rooms is having some interesting guests.

In a high level hotel suite is a somewhat dark viewscreen all across the walls showing the Earth around the Sun, and four white star shaped beds. Baron Zemo is twirling his green energy long sword in one hand, sitting on one of the beds. He is watched sharply by Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and the New Ant-Man. Just outside the room's dark blue door is Mockingbird on guard, slightly noticeably nervous with her extendable gray bo staff.

Baron Zemo laughs, "don't you have something better to do than wait for the inevitable?" Luke Cage angrily grabs him by the neck, but pauses.

Luke Cage pushes back, "if Fury didn't want you protected, you'd already be on your own H.Y.D.R.A. experiment table! Don't forget that." He drops him hard on the floor, but Baron Zemo just slightly coughs with his ageless body as he gets up.

With a slight chuckle joined by the New Ant-Man, Iron Fist comments, "and I thought I was the advice whisperer."

Baron Zemo laughs darkly, "I'm never one to forget…a face."

Harsh echoes sound off in Baron Zemo and his watchers, making them clutch their heads in mental pain. They're saying, "Nick Fury's great champions. Laugh. You aren't even worth serving me!"

New Ant-Man mutters, "so…loud!"

Iron Fist mutters to himself, "focus!" Struggling to get a sense of what's going on, he a minute too late realizes what's coming. Fire Demons after Fire Demons come up through exploding red hot spots in the suite floor. The electricity goes down. The room begins to burn in Fire Demon flames, launched from their arms or otherwise.

Iron Fist with a glowing light red fist battle cry punches a Fire Demon to pieces, giving him the chance to run up to and take the nearby fire extinguisher. Using it as a hurled temporary shield against a Fire Demon fireball, lots of special white foam vaporizes many Fire Demons.

The New Ant-Man sighs, "what I wouldn't give for a chance to have ants right now." Realizing he can't do much else here, he jumps for a ceiling light off of a bed and shrinks at the last second to get to some ceiling light bolts.

In the midst of Iron Fist's foam attack, Luke Cage shouts to Surtur, "you think we ain't taking you down?! You ain't seen nothing yet!" He with his super physicality punches out two Fire Demons with one fist, then picks one of them up to hurl into several more that explode on impact. The Fire Demons though just keep coming.

Baron Zemo shouts, "Surtur: Stop dancing your little demons around me and hit me already! I'm not afraid of you." He slashes his energy sword into many Fire Demons, before side jumping out of the way of falling ceiling lights that stun many more Fire Demons. Baron Zemo easily destroys them all before they can react. On the good side to all of this, the suite is internally flameproof except for the viewscreen.

At the same time, just outside…

Mockingbird urges, "here little demon de...mon. Slight chuckle." A dark red clothed Enchantress with bright red flames as her very long hair appears in bright red light. Mockingbird charges at the Surtur version of Enchantress, spinning her bo staff into her apparently still active fire shield seconds before jump kicking her upper body against the floor by surprise.

Enchantress coughs a little, slightly stunned. Appearing next to her though is a dark red flame version of Wonder Man. He rams Mockingbird through the suite's door by surprise, with the wind aftereffect from the open center of a highly controlled double I shaped fire blast.

The Surtur version of Wonder Man slightly laughs, "Ragnarok will come forth tonight…Zemo." Mockingbird falls unconscious at the side of one of the beds, with the flaming door's wood dust raining down on the already aflame floor. The New Ant-Man comes down in normal size, only to be blasted unconscious by a few Fire Demons. From all the floor's hardship, it collapses under the heroes' combined weight.

Surtur's voice echoes in his mind controlled commanders, "then bring him to me, my servers!" Surtur commander Wonder Man swiftly blasts the wall edges around the suite away from the outside like a cosmic eraser, having the rest of the suite slam down the conscious heroes into unconsciousness before they can react. Surtur commander Enchantress simultaneously makes a portal around temporarily unconscious Baron Zemo, taking him to Surtur's realm to awaken as a commander of his Fire Demons.

An hour or so later, in Avengers Mansion…

Things are quiet: Possibly too quiet. The mainly brown break room has Hawkeye, Vision, Wasp, and Miss Marvel playing a strategic card game on the matching round table with different colored chips. Vision reflects, "I am…accessing why you like this game. I calculate that announcing my status 50 percent less often will increase my probability of success in battle."

Most of them can't help but chuckle. Miss Marvel adds slightly annoyed, "maybe not just in battle, Vision. Slight chuckle. But to fully get over betraying someone you cared about, even if he was Ultron…is hard."

Hawkeye reflects, "or on the other side of a…H.Y.D.R.A. shoe." He had just seen Iron Man, Thor, and Black Widow coming down to the nearby mainly white main hall of Avengers Mansion. Captain America and Black Panther are coming minutes behind them. Vision, Miss Marvel, and Wasp get up with Hawkeye.

Pepper is in one of the lower levels, calling the local police for a city wide evacuation as Black Widow advised before heading for a back door.

Wasp wonders, "so what do we get to blast this time?"

Black Widow slightly sighs, "Fury has the coordinates on Iron Man's helmet. We…!" The whole hall is blasted with Surtur flames, with only Captain America's main shield and Vision's super thickness protecting the team from being blasted themselves. Even Iron Man's light blue repulsor generated shield wasn't enough for the blast as the shield overloaded. He had just fly tumbled for cover himself. Thor starts making several portals at once with his Asgardian hammer Mjolnir.

Captain America shouts, "hurry! We'll cover you."

Vision adds, "I calculate it will only work for five minutes."

Thor urges, "you are mighty warriors: You shall do well." Several of the Avengers head into the portals, including Thor.

Iron Man shouts back, "no, Cap! Zemo is one of Surtur's now." As Hawkeye heads for a portal, he notices who has blasted the entire hall away. Surprisingly, a Hulk in dark red trousers with flaming short hair is waiting for them outside. He is being powered up by Fire Demons firing themselves into him, with Surtur's fire manipulation and his rising anger powered strength. With this power, Surtur commander Hulk is laser cannon level blasting the mansion's ground levels to ashes.

Hawkeye suggests somewhat sarcastically, "if anyone knows how to be betrayed, it's me. Go!" He stays with Black Widow and Iron Man. Thanks to Mockingbird secretly putting a brainwave tracer on Baron Zemo that also ends up being locked on the rest of Surtur's commanders' locations, the rest of the central Avengers strategically head off to the rest of the Nine Realms. That is, aside from the realm of Dwarves burn carved on a Surtur stone and Surtur's own realm.

In Asgard…

Looking out at his mostly gold and white kingdom of wonders from his throne room, Odin sighs hard to himself, "I fear that this new Ragnarok shall be worse than any Loki could have summoned. Come what may, this battle shall be honorable…Thor of the Avengers."
