Episode 3: Ashura vs skurge the executioner
(Opening theme Destiny's Prelude)
After explaining to persona that he spent the day traveling to the past, He received a slight warning not to go off and wary away from important missions. Not to mention he accidentally left behind a empty sarcophagus back at Egypt...
"Well the mission is the technicallya failure because you didn't protect the mummy corpse, but...you've also brung back a dangerous item that could have been used in the wrong hands"
"So are things even?" Ashura questions her While she rubs her head
"I don't even know where to start if you did good or bad, whatever" she brushes it off as she puts the magic lamp onto her journal as it starts to pixelize and digitize into Tiny pixels that go inside her tome
"But Ashura time travel is serious business" she looks at him like she's not joking "Just one mistake and it could change everything about history or where we exist today"
He realizes that and sweats a bit 'gosh of that's true then I'm just glad a mere picture egypt changed'
She now hands him sheet of paper which confuses him "Umm Persona what is this?"
"Hmm? Oh since your living here you might as well learn about earths culture...publicly?"
"What are you saying...?
"Starting next week your going to school" Persona said with a blank stare
"Aww... I thought I already did school" Ashura groans
"True but You still far from modern knowledge in midgard, I'm sure it will be simpler than your Asgardian education"
Ashura puffs his cheeks "darn" as he looks at the file with a signed IQ name even place of origin 'gosh, she thought of everything'
On the other side of hidden wastelands of Asgard on a hidden deadtrees,
A single blond woman has reclined on a fur bed watching disasters the watching midgards natural disasters through a portal in a similar method by watching tv *sigh* there is literally nothing that perks me interest' she thought as she waves through other screens on the portal like a channel
But stops and sees something unique 'hold' She sees the events of a young masked Asgardian flying to a foreign country and defeating a hord of soldiers and even causing the a volcano to explode
"Well well, looks like someone other than thor has stumbled in his ever so precious midgard" she smirks And gets up "skurge!" She calls out her trusted follow
A giant bold looking Asgardian with a scary big axe walks in and kneels before her "it looks like we have something to do after all" the enchantress smirks And opens a portal
A few days past and Ashura has had a slow day of patrol and with a week passing by leads to Ashura's first day of mortal school
He enters the gates and sees the name Midtown High 'what a silly name' he thought as he walks through the gate
He's about to open the school doors until he hears some ringing noise and he finds it somewhat irritating 'what is that noise?...is this what Persona calls a bell?' And gets insideand sees some people going in and out or many rooms it almost looks like a crowd
'Okay I should probably go to...to...uh oh I forgot my printed map!' He thought as he searched his bag. He looks around and decides to head to an important looking room which is the attendants office
He sees a worker sitting reviewing her work
"Um excuse me?" Ashura said
"Yes"
"I was wondering if I could have directions to..."he stops and looks at his schedule " Third floor 3B"
"Oh your a transfer student, well since your new we'll go easy on you for being late" she writes an excuse note for him as he takes It and nods as thanks
"So could you show me how to reach my class?"
"Well you could grab a map from the desk or would you like a guide?"
This makes him stop to think 'well Persona did say I should socialize more' "sure I wouldn't mind someone to take me away"
"Very well," she presses an intercom " Um would ms Irina from 3B please come to the attendants office" she speaks through the intercom
"Just wait a few minutes"
5 minutes later
he sits reading a comic he found inbthe dumpster once about Donald Duck until he hears the door open And someone enters but he doesn't pay attention
'I didn't know ducks could become so...bipedal' he thought
"Hi there" Said a female voice
'His temper is higher then heimdalls'
"Hello?" Said the voice
'How come Asgard never discovered comics?'
"OI OI OI!" She said as she grabbed his comic
"Huh?" He looks at the new guest Who stands in front of him
She's about his height with long brown hair with violet eyes dress in a white shirt and open black vest with a black skirt with black leggings. With an hourglass figure but it's the bright smile and aura that should get the attention of a the average mortal.
"Ms Shido has also been new for about three months and is really great student" the worker said "I trust you will take care of this new student"
"Count on me" she said to the attendant and looks at Ashura let's bring you to class first then I'll give you the tour" she shakes his hand
Suddenly the touch made Ashura feel something...odd 'Wha?'
"So what classes are you supposed to go to?"
"Uh oh! Class 3B"
"Really that's my class I guess that makes us class mates" she said "You want to be friends"
"Oh okay cool nice to meet ya...can I have my book back"
"Sorry comics are an obstacle in the way of learning" she rejected his request
"Whaaa...?" He groans as she stole his...second hobby
"Everyone I'd like to introduce a nee student that will join us" said the teacher
Ashura stands up and writes his name on the board "Names Ashura O.(Odinson) Shoukusuru" he finishes writing "My likes are comics, outgoings, and my roommate" he smiles "my dislikes are waiting and feeling afraid" he frowns "My hobbies are reading and listening to the radio for music and my goal is to graduate highschool please treat me well"
As he finished he hets some comments but suprised there good comments and the girls seem smiiten and the guys don't look jealous...though some of them didn't pay attention or were disappointed incase that bet the new students gender 'I believe I should get along' Ashura thought
He walks over and sits next to the familiar face of Irina 'Okay let's see what this book holds' he says and spends over the next two hours reading.
After he finishes writing he takes a break and looks at the new view through the window but something caught his eye
He sees someone sitting alone outside of the bench it's a girl with long dark hair and a hoodie with leather pants with a omnius face
He squinted his eyes "what's she doing outside of class' Ashura thought
Suddenly the girl sees him and winks with a smirk?
He looks suprised 'Did I meet her before?'
After the classes ended, He goes around the school gor Irina's tour and he's witnessed the lower floors, the door the Principal Stan's office, and the football field and cafeteria
"Well that concludes todays tour" Irina said to him
"Thanks maybe if possible we could exchanges notes if some serious test would suddenly pop up"
"Mm maybe see ya!" She ran off towards her home
Ashura waved then looked serious "That energy, it was unnatural it was almost...holy?" He thought about it and suddenly remembers something important about her...
"AAHH SHE STILL HAS MY COMIC!" As his eyes paled
"You felt what?" Persona said
"I said I felt holy energy from her, can humans do that?" He said
"Well Through the knowledge I've picked up, only groups or factions of humans could." She might refere to magic users or holy beings "anything else would be divine like an angel"
That brung him to shock "Angels in midgard?"
"You know about angels?"
"Well yeah my relative is one"
"Oh sorry for your loss" she made a sad face
He blinks "lost what?" Which confuses Persona
"Huh? Your relative..."
"What about her?"
"Isn't she dead"
"What no!"
"But...you called her an angel"
"Yeah but not because she's dead or anything" he waves his hands at the misunderstanding 'she may have experienced death once...my memory of her stories is fizzy' he thought nervously " its because she..."
Suddenly Persona hears a radio
"attention attention this just in a giant bulking guy is causing a rampage the authorities are having trouble and the avengers are on a mission far from the city, the scum looks to be heading towards Midtown. give it everything you got"
The radio stops playing as they listened
"You don't think this threat may attack the school do you?" Persona feared
"If it does, does it mean I don't have to go to school?"
"ASHURA!" she yelled at his careless response
"I'm kidding" he jokes "Seriously though students leave school so I won't have to worry about casualties right"
"If only it were that simple, some tend to stay after hours over detention or teacher meetings or for top student events"
This makes him in shock 'Wait isn't Irina one of those kinds of students?' Ashura thought "OOkay you made your point" he said as he taps his axe and gets into uniform "I'll be quick" he said as he flies out the window
"Please hurry" she said
At the cafeteria during where the some students are holding a history club discussing the era of the Renaissance
Irina obverses over the statue of david for her project 'muh why must these artistic artwork must be so...revealing'
*Smash*
"Ehh!" She shouts at the destroyed wall
There was debris flying about and some smoke that quickly clears revealing two scary looking power villains
One of them is female as she walks forward as she holds levatates the vice principal "go on human present us" Said amora
"U uh attention attention everybody apparently this school is now under the reign of..."
"The enchantress and her executioner" she said first and she throws the guy into the students
"We found out that a supernatural being has been sited near this school and if he does not show himself, my executioner will destroy this pesky building brick by brick"
"Yeah!" Said a random student
"We're serious! " amora ordered Which made the student shut up "So what's it going to be " she scared them
"Hey!" Said a new voice
Everyone looks to a new girl with brown hair in stuffy clothes "what are doing Jones"
"Jessica no!" One of the students yells out to Jessica jones
"I have something to say" JJ says
"Oh you know something" Amora says
"Listen everyone I'm going to say this once" she picks up her tray "FOOD FIGHT!" she throws her food at them which makes everyone repeat her actions
"Ahh why these little*splat*" enchantress gets hit in the pie
The mysterious dark hooded girl who threw it chuckles and sneaks away from the room
"Who threw that?" She yelled as the villians eyes were still covered
This gives JJ a chance and stomps super hard and lies "Earthquake". Which shakes her and the executioner down
"Everyone hurry" Irina yells to her classmates she runs and trips which drops Ashura's comic "Ahh oh no"
"Finish them teach them why they should not mess with me" she said as she disappears
As she grabs it she didn't notice the guy with the axe charging towards her
"Ahh" the giant yells before
*clang*
A flying axe hits his legs making him slip only a few feet away from her
"I recognize such armor, your an Asgardian aren't you" Ashura appears floating down he then talks quietly to his earpiece "I found them Persona"
[where are you now?]
"At the school as I feared but it looks like most were smart to get out of there" He then looks at the bulky guy "And the bad news he's Asgardian"
[What? Here!]
"You! We have found your at last! Destroy this building made it too easy for a trap"
Ashura felt suprised "You knew about me and that was your plan! " he got a bit upset that an enemy of asgard appear and wonders low long until more arrive one day he decides to cover activate his helmet to cover his lower face as to prevent any familiarity "No matter it will not succeed as long as I rebel against you"
"Then so be it accursed boy!" He says as his axe and blasts as Ashura dodges it
"Hmph! Let us see if you can survive another devestating energy of an exploding sun created by my whirling axe!" Said the executioner Throws another serious blast
Ashura quickly switched to twilight to block it and absorb the massive blow while JJ grabs Irina and runs off as the explosion blows them off the room.
It pushes him off his feet but the sword took in all the damage
"You still live?!"
"Well if it was powerful then an exploding sun, this school wouldn't be standing" Ashura retorted "woah" his legs still wobble from the vibrating shock
"Now to finish the job!" The executioner took that chance to strike as he said it
Ashura switches back to the axe and blocks his opponents axe "Did you forget us Asgardians recover really quickly?"
"Bah! Everything has its limit...even your strength! I'll shall prove that here and now!" The executioner struggles as he talks
"Heh clearly your bark is worse then you BITE!" Ashura overpowers him as his axe pushes the executioner into the wall causing an impact that forces him down
"Do not underestimate me boy!" His axe glows blue " he uses his axe to cut through space to send earths ice to freeze him, but even though it surrounds him he uses his swords again and slices the ice around him in pieces "Seriously your using ice against a guy with a fire sword...too easy" He swings it around causing things to heat up the atmosphere making the opponent sweat for slight distractions
"Why did you come here?" Ashura asks
"You haven't beaten me yet!" He has about to attack again but Ashura predicted it and threw his axe directly at his axe knocking both far away "You already tried that method" Ashura said As he ran and grabs him then knocks him into the ground...hard "I won now tell me why your here!" He shouted as his own axe came back to his hands
"To meet you of course"
"Huh?"
"The enchantress sees how powerful you are and wonders if you can be a proper adversary for her amusement"
"What?" 'She's here! Of all people for me! If she finds out she'll tell L...him'
But looks back "I'm no ones boy toy!" 'Not to mention I don't want to deal with her choas while dragging boruto into this he doesn't deserve that' Ashura thought
"You will never return to this part of the city am I clear or else...
"Stay your hand boy! I will leave... if you make me an offer"
"What is it?"
The enemy looks at his axe "That enchanted axe it looks so much like the lost axe Jarnbjorn and for ages have I longed for such an axe I desire it more than anything like on earth or asgard" he looks at Ashura's axe longingly "If you pledge your axe to me I shall never return"
'Give up my axe?' Ashura thought 'but this is valuable to my and Thors first weapon I can't just...it's too important'
[Do it]
"Excuse me? "
[Don't worry about it, I planned for something like this]
Ashura felt confused but he had no other alternative. Sure he could kill him but that would only bring more Asgardian villains wanting revenge.
"I hope you know what your doing Persona" he stops whispering
And looks at his enemy "...fine" Ashura said he holds it tight "Just don't come back here"
"Then it is I who have won!"
He gloats as he takes off his helmet As Ashura looks at his face
'Skurge? Well...that explains why he he's been missing in asgard' he lends his hammer to his enemy but as the executioner holds it...
it falls down hard! With his hands stuck "Wha-what is this, this is just like that enchanted mjolnir!"
Ashura looks suprised 'my axe never did that before' He thought 'wwhat did persona do something to it?'
"This is madness! What good can it do to me?" The enemy complained
Suddenly at this shock the executioners arms suddenly turn into branches
"You have betrayed me! You vowed to stay and continue this fight!"
"That voice it is the enchantress!" The executioner says as his legs become branches too "my arms my legs no no!"
"Have you forgottenmy powers of sorcery? Did you think I am called the enchantress for naught!" She says out of nowhere as the executioner tumbles down
"As for you youngling..." smoak pops up as she appears
'That voice! It really is her I was hoping that I would be wrong' Ashura thought as he sees her appearance in her sinister green outfit
"Boy! Save me! Only you can do it!"
Ashura uses it to his advantage " I'll do it only long as you stay away from this place and my weapons!" As the situation forces him to nod
"You still live executioner fine! Then I shall work another spell on you!" She was about to strike again
Ashura uses this time to grab his axe to blast ice to seperate the two and tun towards her
"Come no further warrior! As ab Asgardian yourself you should know nothing can conquer the enchantress!" She warns him "The spells I weave are without limit"
"I know unfortunately" he said which made her glare more "But I've trained enough with someone that knew your tricks so I don't fear spells...well not yours at least" he said confidently ad he remembers his mother and thor and younger brother preparing him.
"Then it is time for you to learn the meaning of fear!" She used her magic on his hammer but used his brother's magic mirror to reflect it "hah!" He said as the reflected blast knocks her falling on her butt but hides the mirror quickly incase she recognizes it "I told you I was prepared and not afraid of your magic"
"But if my power cannot move you what about my beauty!" She quickly resort to that answer
Ashura makes a flat stare hidden under his mask 'really?'
Meanwhile during this conflict Irina got away From JJ and watched the battle without being seen 'incredible'
"Sorry but all that stuff you did made you seem really unattractive for me to stop moving"
Speaking of moving the executioners limbs are slowly becoming normal 'the spell is lifting, I'm becoming myself again!' The executioner thought While Ashura looks 'Uh oh! Better finish this quick!' He takes out his magic sword And activates it
"You two have caused enough fanage and confusion to the mortal population and this planet! This planet is my home and if you dare come back Earth is my protection and I will send you to Odin!..."
Amora looks at that sword "What that sword where did...
"TWILIGHT!" He smashes his attack at a minimum and on the ground. Not to kill them but just powerful enough to send them flying far off into the sky
"I've always wanted to see people fly that high" he said as he stretches "Now to.." he turns around and sees Irina standing behind him and the suprised made me fall
"Gosh Mortal! why have you approach my presence?" He questioned as he was about to turn away
"You can drop the act...Ashura Shoukusuru" that made him stop "Wha" without realizing she took off his helmet "Ahh!" He grabs it back before anyone could see
"I knew it!" She said
"Weren't you carried off somewhere?"
"Don't change the subject, what's an outworlder like you enrolling at this school?"
"I...just wanted to try out a new experience...but what makes you think I'm an outworlder"
"I've watched you fight them and heard the word Asgardian now how come you showed your face in this chaos?" She said
"Someone had to do something"
"What about earth's heroes"
"They didn't show heck there still not here" he looks around "Now if your playing interogation I got a question. What are you?"
She look suprised "wwhat what are you talking about?"
"When I touched your hand earlier it felt...pure and I should know I've met holy figures beFOOREE...! He was interrupted as Irina dragged him away from the street dragging him inside the school and after running to the other side of school, she pushed him inside a broom closet with no one around
"Why'd you..."
"You've said you met holy people before?"
"Yes... tell me you some messenger"
She comically makes a smug face "Far from it my friend" "Behold OW!" She jumps and hits her heaf on the celing and grabs her head as Ashura sweatdrops
"Oow let me start over.." she waves her hands *ahem* "BEHOLD!" she puts her hands on her hips as angel wings pop out of her claim "be blessed that you are in the presence of a real angel"
Ashura raises an eyebrow at her 'She's an angel...she obviously have started as a mortal' Ashura thought
"Eh? You not suprised"
"You sure yournot self proclaiming to be one"
"OI!" She glares at him
"Kidding"
"Your very rude!"
"But how come your here?"
"For...school" she then saw his serious look "And because I represent the angels to monitor this region"
'Hmm...I'm suprised my...relative didn't know about this' Ashura thoughts and looks at her "Who recommended the angels to be here
She then puts her finger on her cheek "I believe it was someone named Angela?"
.
.
.
"EEEEEEEHHHHHH!" Ashura shouted in absolute shock
"Ahh! What's wrong!" She stepped back in fear at his funny reaction
"Did you just say And Angel named Angela?"
"Uh huh?
"And does she have red hair and a angry face"
She nods as an answer
He then slaps his helmet covered head "Unbelievable..."
She blinks "why?"
"Because..." he sighs "She's may grandfathers sister. Or grand aunt for short"
"W-wh-seriously?!" She was shocked
"Yeah so if you meet her could you please not tell her I'm here?"
"But why?" She raises an eyebrow
"Heh heh because she doesn't know"
"You really shouldn't keep secrets to your family" she points and made a scolding tone
"I get it but could you keep it a secret I'm not lying to anyone"
"You lied to the school"
"Technically my friend enrolled me in and I never said I was simple or human for that matter" he explained
"Hmm...maybe if you assist me some tasks I'll consider"
"What?"
"To gain trust you must earn it" Irina said
Ashura slumped his shoulders "fine but can I have my comic back?"
"Sorry but this charade extends the hold"
"Fine..."he has about to leave until "he turns off the closets lights "eh" was all she could say until some crashes and struggles were heard
"Hey!"
*boom*
Ashura flies out of the closet and out of the school 'I must read this comic!' Ashura thought
While Irina walks out seeing the book out of her hands " Wait that wasn't fair it wasn't time yet!" She yelled to him flying away
As he flew up, he contacts Persona "Okay The threats are out of the city"
[good work]
"So when did you tinker with my axe?"
[when you were alseep last night]
He lands on a building to rest "So Persona"
[What is it?]
"I had this thought about your name, because of the identities you picked up, could I have a suggestion?"
[If it's cool though]
"How about...Memoria?"
[Memoria?]
"It's close to your civilian name Mavis and your able to record things like a memory"
[...It fits well I'll consider.]
Meanwhile on the other side of the city the enchantress gets up after getting sent on the other side of
"That sword..." she remembers the design of it
"I may not have figured out your identity...but at least I have a lead" she then chuckles
While in a portal a certain green suited man over hears her "hmm... curious what is Amora up to now?" the trickster said
