Episode I: Ashura and his first quest (plus first hero friend)

About a week later

The sunlight residing in the desolate apartment l slowly reaches the face of the Asgardian, it felt so warm, it gently woke him up. Making stretch and get off the bedHe wakes up and notices the stuff he aquired for a simple living.

Which includes the necessary essentials: a refrigerator, well working plumbing, for the bathroom a washing machine with dryer, and wardrobe with clothes. He looks around them and says to himself "We got all this just because I found her a laptop?"

A few days ago, the tome fairy Ashura found took him dumpsterdiving by the old warehouses, which infact are debating for it to be a second base. While searching he found a laptop for her to tinker with (no pun intended).

It turns out that Tome fairies not only read information from sensing others but to learn by simply touching a electronic device.

"Morning Persona"

It gave her the opportunity to not only learn but to decide on a name


A day after they met

"You chose Persona as a name?" He questions her as the both sat on a bed they found until they can purchase a, proper one

"That's right" said Persona as she was a new outfit designed to her style (picture megaman cyberelf X outfit plus neptunia Histore style)

"But is that even a proper name?"

"Don't worry about it, I chosen a few names to help me go around in public and talk with other regions of this realm"

"Other names?" He looks puzzled "Won't that be hard to remember?"

"Yes, but I'll write them down for you to remember" she says as she writes them down and puts the note on a wall

"So despite this, what's going to be your mortal name? That's also important "

The tome fairy Persona stood up " Well it took a lot of thinking and I decided to chose Mavis "

"That's somewhat unique"

"I also have Elise as a backup incase I'm compromised" she smiles "There's also Makoto incase if I want connections to people in other countries"


Now

After that, they spent the week getting to know one another while getting used to ones company

"So any idea what we should eat?" Persona/Mavis questioned

"I'm not sure, I don't always keep track of what I should eat"

While she shakes her head "That's no good, I've been meaning to ask but you need to know what you should eat despite your Asgardian life diet"

"Okay, so what do we have?" Hes up for options

She stops and thinks for a second "A simple bacon and eggs would work"

13 minutes later

After, setting up everything needed, it was time to start the day on the table, Persona even used her signed a prescription for newspapers to be delivered to catch up on the daily news and sometimes the funny comics

*sip* "This drink I like it" Ashura smiles at new joy of orange juice

"Really," she was intrigued as she rested her chin on her hands " I kinda thought Asgardians would be into whi-"

"ANOTHER!" *SMASH* he broke his new cup

"Ah!" She almost fell off the table "What was that for, why did you break your mug!" She Shouted at him

"Because I liked it" he still cheery

"Okay listen" she gets up and floats close to his face "If you want to live like a mortal, you have to show self restraint so that means no smashing 'our' possesions" she scolded

"It's not that big of an..."

"Promise me no smashing...our stuff at least?" She made serious yet cute glare at him

He stopped for a bit then complied "You have my word." And eats his eggs as he moved on from the conversation

She thought this would stur up an argument but didn't want to push it "good" She then looks at a small black radio that catches her eye "Ashura why did you bring thing?"

"Well I hear you can pick up news faster with a radio so maybe you could fix it up"

"But we have a laptop and the Internet on our side" she said with a flat face

"True but if you could connect it to these 'police stations', we could hear situations when the authorities notice when they look and talk about it"

"...fine, it shall be done after we're finished eating"


"Just one more screw annnnd...done" Mavis/Persona had finished tinkering with the radio box after a fair amount of 30 minutes she brought the contraption up to date"abd it's already secretly tapped into the all the authority stations" she gives herself a pat on the back

"So how do I turn it on?" He holds it as an Asgardian, he's not used to some devices yet

Persona floats up with her book and Ashura passes her the radio "It's simple just turn the dial to any of the labeled settings and..."

"Attention*buzz*Attention-..."

"Viola it works" she said And listens

"This just in*buzz* foreign air bombers are attacking a class freighter ship at the docks"

"Sounds like this may be your first quest" Persona said

Ashura nods as he taps his axe which covers him in light that summons his armor and grabs his sword on the corner of the room "Already on it" he says as his helmet covers his upper face "Wait!"

He stops and sees a small object thrown at him that he catches "What's this?"

"It's a mini com, just put it on your ear and you'll hear my voice no matter where you are" she hives a thumbs up

"Well thanks and for the fixing the radio" Ashura says to her as he flies out of the window with his axe taking the lead

"Your welcome" she says knowing he can't hear her


On a ship, a young woman sitting on a traveling ship was in her rented cabin, reviewing the notes she took that led her to partake in this job assignment

She has long light brown hair that can be mistaken for a blond, with a tight blue top with a leather jacket With black jeans that show her legwork.

"Lets see, ever since that uprising that the so called 'mandarin ' caused that spoked most of the countries some how inspired other dangerous forces to come out in the open" she was talking to herself...it helps her think

"To recap, a recent revolution broke out in san diablo, causing two factions to fight with each other" the lady adds sticky notes as in her small journal "One faction should be democratic so the offensive must be those self absorbed communists" she said as she waves her long bright hair and groans "Seriously it was much easier working on astro physics!" She lays down "Now it's fighting over who gets the luck of just picking up the wildest stories or any story for that matter because of other freakin reporters out for my pay"

Suddenly she hears noises out like a, nearby plane sounds

"look-jets! They're attacking us!"

"This ship is unarmed! We haven't a chance!"

This makes her sound nervous as she "Well on one side I'm in serious danger, but...I could be in the middle of a great scoop!" She gets up and checks it out and puts her journal with the initial 'J. F' into her jacket


He flies out to scout out over the city just far enough to see the oceans which brings him close

"Persona am I almost there?"

"Don't worry just keep going straight" she said from the mini com

He attempts to fly straight until he actually finds a ship "I see it"

He reaches one ship and land on it "I've reached my objective!" Ashura says and he uses twilight to cut the ship in half on the causing the pilot to eject "That's one ship down" he now looks at the others "now for the rest!"

He whirls his axe to create a wind vortex that captures to jets to crash into each other which causes two more enemy pilots to bail out

And quickly uses his axe to smash a near jets cockpit that forces a it's pilot out "No more will this hurt anyone"

He flies around to check and sees non "Okay Persona the ships are dealt with"

"That's great news...hhmm"

"Huh? Something wrong?"

"By the time it took you to finish the quest, it must mean that wasn't the entire attack force so there might be more" she warns him

So what should I do then? I can't just stand around" He said realizing she's right

"It will be okay Ashura" Persona says "just hide around the boat or head to where to boat is going, because that may lead to the attackers leader"

"Okay thanks" Ashura says as he looks back at the boat and sees no one injured but sees a someone actually looking at him "uh oh I can't be seen yet" he says and he hides into the clouds

While the woman who looks at him had a very good look on what he was wearing 'Who was that, he he's not thor from the news since he's shorter' she walks back 'A new hero perhaps?'


Ashura soon follows the ship towards a new region in the country 'gosh I've gone far off the city again' he thought as he might get lost 'no worries I could ask Mavis to durect me back' he says as he hides an the islands forest area as the ship is close to reach shore 'why are ships so slow?'

"Still I just hope that one person that saw me doesn't effect what I do often" Ashura says as he scratches the back of his head he goes onto the bushes to hide

After an hour of resting

"ZZzz...ZZzzz...wuh?" He got up "Oh what am I doing, I can sleep later!" Ashura says as he flies above the trees and sees the ship on shore "Darn and the passengers left, I better end this quickly" he flies over to the enemy territory


Enemy forces base

On an secluded spot, he goes behind a tree he hears gun shots

"Uh! I have to strike now" He uses his axe to channel his elemental powers on to summon a wind storm with thunder and lighting as a distraction

He hears the criminals shout

"It's raining so hard I cannot see the Americans!"

"I-I can't see anything!"

Now Ashura summons rain which makes some of those soldiers fall and slide out of the area with some mighty wind to blow them far away

"Good now the next spot" he flies over to see a tank or two And yanks a tree and jumps and slams and places the tree between one of the tanks and a big rock "Just made it!" And lifts the tree under the tank like a forklift that throws soldiers off while the empty tank falls on the other tank crushing each other but not before the enemy soldiers escaped before getting crushed "Now to finish off the rest of the tanks" Ashura says as he throws his axe to the last tanks impacting the tanks with such force that the killing machines literally fall apart "That should be enough" but he then sees some remaining soldiers evacuate with hostages including the woman who spotted him"

"No I got ahead of myself, if I fight now they'll kill them on sight!" he puts his weapons away and flies over to where they fled "I can't waste more time" he retracts his axe back


Ashura sneaks over in thr enemy base using his flight ability and element powers to use the wind to hide his presence.

He uses the Asgardian stealth traininghe learned from sif and balder in order to survive those boot camp days... he shudders just remembering them until he finds the enemy leaders stronghold with the hostages.

He sees a group of innocent ls back into a wall about to be shot at while the woman who saw him is having a annoying time as the enemy leader is flirring with her, 'that poor lady 'and a few are forced to watch.

"No time for stealth and he summonings a flash of lighting to blind the enemy

"That flash-" one said

"My eyes I cannot see..." another said

Ashura has no choice but to make his appearance "You will not harm these innocent or you wil face my wrath!" Ashura warns he uses the gold helmet to hide his upper face

"Bah! He is but one man! He cannot oppose an entire army destroy him!" Said the enemy leader

"I don't think so!" Ashura throws his axe out to a massive enemy tent and the axe carries the tent that drops multiple soldiers on the hard floor rendering a chunk of the enemy faction weaker

"I know there's strength in numbers but I wouldn't let you have such a chance now would I?" Ashura retorts suddenly he hears more gunfire and looks through the hole his axe made and with his keen sharp vision, he sees another army, but scares this currant army

"It's the enemy! They are in the march!" Said one soldier

"We are not prepared to engage them in combat! We must retreat to the moutains!" Said the other soldier

'It must be the residents democrats of san diablo' Ashura thought 'so I should make there job easier by not letting them escape" he summonings twilight "Just one slash and..."TWILIGHT!" he shouts as he shoots at a massive slash that destroys the mountain the enemy plotted to escape making said moutain into a volcano

"Lava! Hurry back down the mountain!" One scared soldier said

"Better to be trapped than to be trapped by lava!" Said another knowing when to quit But said soldier sees the his leader escaping with their gold. This makes the betrayed army furious

"Look-our leader flees with our gold!"

"He is the cause of our downfall, and now he tries to desert us!"

He must pau for his failure!"

So all the remaining soldiers gunned their leader down in cold blood without mercy

Ashura sees this and sees the enemy soldiers later drop there weapons in defeat as the democratic army arrives at the scene 'ouch, ironic that the enemy who caused so much death was the final victim on that wall"

He sees the woman who spotted him "hey thanks!" She said gratefully

Unlike the war with the manderin, this may be the first time Ashura spoke with a mere mortal without an enemy in the way"Um...your welcome" he waves "Well bye" He flies off but not before taking a picture at the last second "sweet" she said

While in the sky Ashura receives a call from persona

"so how was the mission"

"Good news Persona, I completed my first mission"

"That's great, return home and celebrate!" She said as he flies home


Later at night at Ashura's home, They had a fair ccelebration but had to shorten it because tome fairies aren't used to an Asgardians method of party...she needs to teach him how to be formal soon.

"Where are you going Ashura?" Persona sat on her flooting book as she sees him wearing a black shirt and brown coat with jeans

"I heard there was this place a pizza joint nearby, oh if possible maybe you could comr with me?" While she was suprised 'I can't tell if he asked me out or wanted me to think of this as a quest'

"Well?" He waited for an answer

"Maybe one night on the town could be good for us" she said as she glows again appearing about the height of his lower torso"

"Woah you can change size?"

"Yup! I looked up pym particles on the Internet so I learned how to master them in time" she goes to the bathroom and changes into a casual clothing with a white jacket and long skirt with small shoes and a necklace "what do you think of my human state?" She poses

"It's nice" he said but in his head 'huh, I thought she be taller'


On the streests of New York, the two obverse everything in there surroundings as they walk

"For a world of mortals, they act almost more advanced than the space technology that is found on Asgardian soil" Ashura says wear

"Well with what they lack in strength and power, they make up for it in there intellect" Mavis said to him "Although I'm disappointed on how half of humanity uses there resources for destruction and conquest" she said in a sad smile

"That may be true" he said as he stopped "But hey, that's why were here and asgardians and fairies tend to live a long time" Ashura said in a positive tone

She smiled and was about to say something until the heard a window crash

"Stop a robber!"

"No, it's battrock!"

The two see battrock the leaper crashs out of a bank

Concerned about the situation Mavis whispers to Ashura "um if you would..."

"Sure!" He sped quickly

"Hahaha! Non may never catch me!" The crook jumps high with his new upgrade but never noticed a guy sped up "Cept me" Ashura said with a creepy smile with closed eyes And with a light chop it slams the villian down causing a tiny cratter

As Ashura landed he caught the bag of possesions

"You didn't he let me finish I meant make it suttle and inconspicuous!" She shouted in his mini com because Mavis can't risk speaking to him with people watching "what if they discover who you are?"

Ashura didn't think that through and gets a bit nervous and was about to drop the bag until he heard "Hey you!" Ashura turns around and sees a giant orange man 'another alien...no his heads not pointy like those jerks from before'

"Where's..." the big guy stops and sees battrock down for the count "uh did you do that?"

"Umm please don't tell but yes and here!" He passes it to the orange man "wha?"

"And please take the credit" Ashura asks him "For what?"

Then the people see some smoke clear and people see Ashura with the famous super hero

"Look it's the Thing"

"He caught battrock"

"Does he have super speed" the people were discussing

"So your name is thing?" Ashura questions him "nice to meet you I'm Ashura"

"What no, that's just a nickname my nameis Ben Grimm"

"Oh that sounds better" Ashura complements Ben as Mavis shows up "Ashura is this one of the resident heroes?"

He turns to her "I guess so" while Ben looks at the new girl "Does she want an autograph or something?"
