Outside the Supermansion, the League of Freedom sat at a table prepared to meet new heroes and potential members. In the middle was Titanium Rex, at his side was Robobot, American Ranger, Black Saturn, and Brad. On the other was Portia Jones, Cooch and Titanium Lex.
"Alright, Maui," Rex read the resume, "shape shifter, Demigod of the wind of sea-"
"Hero of Men," Maui cut in, resting his hook on his shoulder.
"What?" Rex asked.
"Its actually Maui, shape shifter, Demigod of the wind of sea, Hero of Men." Maui explained. "I interrupted, from the top, Hero of Men. Go."
Rex blinked, "ok, well-"
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, and women," he cut in again, looking to Portia, Cooch and Lex. "Men and women, both, all. Not a guy girl thing," he shrugged. "Maui is a hero to all."
"Moving on!" Rex said before he could bring up more titles.
"Tell us about yourself." Portia said.
"Well not to brag but I am the greatest Demigod in all the Pacific North Islands." He boasted. "I've bin battling monsters and helping humanity for centuries."
"It says here your powers include Godly Strength." Lex read the resume. "Exactly how strong is that?"
"Well," Maui leaned on his hook flexed his arm, "I've dragged whole islands up from the bottom of the sea, lassoed the sun to slow it down and even held up the sky itself."
"Damn dude, you serious?" Cooch asked.
"Very," Maui smirked.
"There is no way of calculating the second two, mainly because they are impossible as it's the Earth that rotates around the sun and touching the sky is figurative only." Robobot said. "But to pull even a small island from the sea floor would require beyond extreme levels of physical strength."
"Impressive," Rex smiled.
"And my strength isn't limited to my muscles," Maui added. "Its also in my lungs."
"So you can hold your breath for a long time?" Brad asked.
"I could," the Demigod shrugged. "But I'd rather do this." He inhaled and released a massive gust of wind. The League members had to hold their tables down so they wouldn't be blown away.
"My God!" Ranger said as the wind finally stopped.
"GAK!" They looked to see Saturn had been covered in dust and spitting rapidly. "Its in my mouth!"
"I can see that being very useful against a gas attack." Robobot said.
"You mean like a really bad fart after too many burritos?" Cooch asked.
"Sure, ptooey!" Saturn spit again. "But lets get to the real questions," he leaned forward. "Do you have a catchphrase?"
Maui raised an eyebrow, "huh?"
"You know, words that strike fear into criminals," he explained. "Like; You mess with the Saturns town, you get the rings!" He pulled out two Saturn Rings and Rex pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"Oh I get it," Maui realised. "Yeah, I got one of those." He raised his hook above his head, "ITS MAUI TIME!"
Saturn rolled his eyes but before he could remark, "I like it." Brad said.
"Me two." Rex nodded. "Short and sweet."
"I got a question," Cooch spoke up and pointed at the hook. "What is that thing?"
"This, is my magic fish hook." He held it up for them to see. "Created by the Gods themselves."
"Um excuse," Ranger cut in, "I think you mean God, singular."
"What?" Maui asked.
"Well there is only one true-" he was then cut off.
"RANGER!" Rex snapped. "Not now! Please continue Maui."
"In addition to being a mighty weapon for battle, it also lets me do this!" With that he swung the hook around and within a blue light, he transformed into a giant hawk and took to the sky.
"Whoa." Lex said with wide eyes.
The heroes watched in awe as he flew around with great speed before flying down towards them. "PULL UP! PULL UP!" Ranger shouted. Another blue light and he became a small insect and flew around them. Then he turned into an iguana, jumped off the table and ran across the ground back to where he started and returned to normal.
"That was Awesome!" Cooch said.
"So that's what you meant by shape shifter." Portia observed.
"And even without shape shifting, my fish hook is perfect weapon for battle." The Demigod smiled.
"Okay, I gotta stop you right there." Saturn stood up and walked forward.
"Saturn!" Rex whispered angrily. "What are you doing?"
"Don't get me wrong big guy, that trick was pretty cool. But no way that thing can be used in an actual fight." Saturn pointed at the hook. "To be truly effective, a weapons gotta be compact and deadly, like these!" He took out two Saturn Rings, "observe." With that he threw them both and the bounced off a statue and a wall before heading for Maui, who looked bored. He swung his hook, which glowed blue and sliced both rings in half.
Black Saturns eyes widened in shock and he looked at Maui who smirked as his hook stopped glowing. "Its actually very effective, like this." He swung the hook and tripped Saturn, making him fall on his face. Maui then used the hook to catch the rings on his mask, then lifted him off the ground and swung him around over his head before dropping him on the ground hard. "Like I said, very effective."
"I'm convinced," Ranger smiled. "You handle that hook well solider."
"Thanks," the demigod looked at his hook. "Feel just like the original."
"What do you mean?" Lex asked.
"Well, this isn't the fish hook I started with and used to perform all those legendary feats with." Maui began. "My original hook was destroyed when I fought Te Ka, a being of Earth and fire. It wasn't easy, but I had to buy time for my friend to return the Heart of Te Fiti."
"That sounds like one hell of a story." Portia said
"I'll tell you the whole thing some time." Maui smiled. "Its got a real twist at the end."
"I am curious," Robobot spoke up. "What happens to the hook when you shape shift?"
"Oh it becomes at tattoo," Maui said before becoming a giant hawk again. "See," he lifted his wing to reveal an image of the hook on his feathers. "Which is handy," he returned to normal, "cause it would be really awkward to carry while I'm transformed."
"Hold on." Ranger looked at the resume. "It says here that your immortal." That caught the others attention. "What do you mean by that?"
"Immortality is defined as; Eternal life, existence unending and being exempt from death." Robobot explained.
"That word get thrown around a lot." Maui returned to normal and shrugged. "In my case, it means I don't age."
"Must be nice." Rex said under his breath.
"I once survived 1,000 years stranded with no food or fresh water." Maui went on. "But I do like to eat and sleep. Now while I can survive things that normal humans couldn't, I can still be killed."
Rex narrowed his eyes and leaned forward. "Ah I am having a stoke, or is one of your tattoos laughing at Black Saturn?" Rex pointed.
"Oh no, no, no," Maui waved it off with a laugh. "This is Mini Maui," he gestured to the sentient tattoo. "Say hello," and he waved at them.
"Hi," Cooch waved back.
"Okay, that's a new one." Robobot said.
"You see my tattoos are magical, they appear when I earn them." Maui explained, turning around to show the different tattoos. "Fighting giant monsters, harnessing the breeze, giving humanity fire, coconuts, that sort of thing."
"So each tattoo is kind of like a badge of honor," Portia reasoned.
Maui thought for a moment. "Yeah, that sounds about right."
"Looks like you got badges everywhere." Cooch looked at them all, then pointed downwards. "Do you have ones on your butt? Oh what about your-"
"Cooch!" Rex cut her off. "We don't need to know that. Ahem, I've gotta say Maui, I am impressed." The Subtopian said. "You got the powers, experience and the desire to help humanity."
"Agreed," Portia spoke up, "But I have a personal question, why? Why did you do everything you've done for humanity?"
Maui was visibly shaken by the question. "Oh ah, well you know, its just. Humans need a lot of saving. You know?" He chuckled. "This guy," he pointed at Robobot. "This guy gets it."
"They do seem incapable of taking care of themselves." The robot said.
"I realise this is a tough question for you and if you don't feel comfortable telling us that's fine. But we want you to know that the League of Freedom is a team that comes together and helps carry each others baggage. Be it mistakes you've made, or who you used to be. The League is here to help."
"Wow Portia," Lex blinked, "that was beautiful."
"Okay," Maui took a deep breath. "I wasn't born a demigod, I was born human with human parents." The turned around and pull his hair aside to show his first tattoo, "who didn't want me and threw me into the ocean. The Gods found me, gave me my hook and made me Maui. Ever since then, I've been helping humans however I can."
"Instead of wanting revenge, you wanted love." Portia smiled.
"You have a good heart Maui." Rex smiled. "Your exactly the kind of hero this team needs." This made Maui smile brightly. "But there is one thing," he added. "Would you be willing to put on some pants? Or at the very least shorts?" Maui blinked before looking down at his leaf skirt. "Its just Superheroes are constantly under the public eye and it wouldn't help if they saw, well-"
"Your junk." Cooch blurted out.
Rex glared at her, "thank you Cooch.
Maui thought for a moment. "Could I wear the shorts under my leaf skirt?"
"Sure," Rex shrugged.
"Then I'm good." The Demigod smiled.
"Maui," Rex stood up. "Welcome to the League of Freedom!"
Maui jumped in the air with a yell of joy as the rest of the League of Freedom clapped. Which seemed to wake up Black Saturn. "Argh, what I miss?"
