Asura's Wrath: Magic of The Mantra
Karma Fortress 16,000 years ago:
Asura stood on the bridge of the Karma Fortress having been called there by Emperor Strata and his comrade Deus, a fellow Guardian General and the head of the group of eight extremely powerful demigods each of whom held a Mantra Nature. Asura was the holder of the nature of Wrath, one of if not the strongest single Mantra Nature.
"What's going on?" Asura asked Deus before turning to his Emperor and respectfully bowing.
"We've detected a strange energy signature with significant power near one of the mines," Deus explained pointing to the aforementioned mine. "While most of the Karma Fortress is made of solidified Mantra the framework still needs material." As he said this Deus pointed out the workers building the torso framework far below. "We suspect Vlitra is creating a new type of Gohma to attack our mines and is about to unleash one where the energy was detected. Feel up for a solo mission?"
"Yes but only because the mine you pointed out is near my home. If whatever it is gets closer it could threaten my wife and unborn child." Asura said as he ran for the edge of the platform. "Don't even try sending my brother-in-law Yasha as backup this time!" With that, the demigod of Wrath jumped off the Krama fortress and began falling to Gaia.
"Asura…" Deus said with a growl. "Your loyalty should be to the people, not just your family."
"The boy is still young my friend." Strata said. "His wife is with child and the threat the Gohma pose is too great to them. I'm sure that in time once the child is born he'll be a great asset especially since his child should they be female will become our new Priestess."
"You are right my emperor." Deus ceded. "If Asura wants to eliminate a threat to his family alone we shan't interfere," Deus smirked. "Though said Family is on standby if the threat is too great."
"So you're forgoing his wishes and telling Yasha anyways." Strata said with a chuckle and a smirk of his own. "Why do you encourage their rivalry? Is it because you hope they may reach the heights of their teachers or because they can become greater and give you the challenge you crave?"
"Neither," Deus admits. "Their rivalry amuses me. The here too focused on themselves to truly try to challenge me."
"Ah, the fact that this focus for each other is misplaced yet still benefits them both is the amusing bit?"
"Quite."
Meanwhile high in the atmosphere of Gaia…
"While I normally won't use my Septentrion its travel speed is greater than my current maximum when reentering the atmosphere so thank you," Asura said in a rare act of mild kindness to his crew.
"Think nothing of it General." A mechanation troop Kagebosh said. "We live to serve and to purify Gohma."
"Right," Asura replied as he approached the open edge of his bridge. "Make sure to destroy any that get past me. Other than that don't fire but remain on standby." With that, the demigod of wrath leaped into the open air.
"Roger." The same Kagebosh said. "We shall be on standby."
Asura noticed that the sky was clear, a sign that the Gohma might not be the source of the readings. Though his sensors were picking up something down below. What that was became clear as he landed on the ground near the mine entrance. "What is this?" He asked himself as he looked at the unconscious Gohma surrounding an orb of purple energy. "Gohma are always attacking the humans, seeing them unconscious like this can not be natural."
Using his implanted sensors he examined the orb seeing a living thing inside through the shell. "Are you what caused this?" Asura approached the closest Gohma, a Minor Howler, examining the beast before slamming his fist into it. "Even if you are the cause of the Gohma's unnatural behavior I must eliminate them." He said as he began attacking the beasts. The noise of his attacks waking many of them.
The loud sounds of his attacks and the bodies of the Gohma impacting the ground caused a reaction in the purple orb. This caught Asura's attention momentarily allowing a now awake Charger to nearly ram the demigod before a black and purple beam of energy pierced the Charger's skull. The origin of the beam turned out to be the orb which showed cracks before a purple and gold blur burst out of the orb and began attacking the Gohma alongside Asura. The blur seemed to slice its opponents in half or into pieces as it went through the Minor and Major Howlers, the few Chargers left showing reactions to blunt force like they would if Asura had attacked them. The blur landed in Asura's arms as the last Gohma dissolved into red energy.
"What?!" Asura asked as he got a good look at the thing. Said thing turned out to be a purple pony with six wings floating just above it glowing ports connecting them to its back, and a horn along with golden-clad front legs.
"You’re a very unique demigod little one." He said as he examined the pony, noticing how it was a female and how its body seemed to emulate his biomechanical figure. A sign of the pony's raw power. "That is if you even are a demigod." He muttered. "Nonetheless I should probably take you back with me after seeing what you did to the Gohma. You are very powerful for such a young one."
"Ok, Papa." The pony said a smile on her face. Whereas Asura's face showed pure shock at what the pony called him.
"Papa?" Asura asked as he began heading towards Shinkoku. "I am not your father!" He shouted in anger causing the pony to begin crying. The sight of tears in the young ones' eyes caused Asura to feel anger. Not his normal anger at the Gohma and Yasha and everyone else but anger at himself for causing such a sight. "All right stop crying!" He said as the pony complied, 'Durga is already with child so becoming a father a little earlier than planned should not affect me too drastically' He thought "I shall be your father young one if that is what you wish. But understand that I will take no more crying from you after all you're about to be a big sister so you have to be a rock for your little sister to hold on to in her time of need."
The pony squealed in joy before hugging Asura's torso, her raw strength causing the metal of both of their biomechanical bodies to groan. "That strength of yours needs controlling young one if you hug your mother let alone your soon-to-be-born sibling like that you could seriously harm them." 'I wonder if Master would train her, after all, a young mind to mold into a great warrior is something he's been looking for.' " I cannot keep calling you young one though, as we head towards home I shall think of a name for you it is nearing Twilight."
"Whylight!" The pony said in response to the word "Me Whylight!"
"You already have a name and it's Twilight?" Asura said shocked "If you have a name already, why do you call me father?"
"No mama, no Papa," she said with a sad look on her face "Golden Scary took them away, took everyone away but I followed! Find new Papa!" At this, she beamed "Find you!"
"So You're an orphan" 'a common problem among demigods and humans alike' He thought grimly. "Whatever this golden scary was, I promise it cannot hurt you now. If it ever returns I promise I will punch it until it explodes!" Asura grinned at the thought of destroying whatever hurts his new daughter. "I understand that you already have a name but it is not common to be named after a moment in time around here so I still think of a new name to go along with your current one. One that you will be called more often around here."
"I can still keep my old one right Papa?" Twilight asked, speaking slowly to make sure her words were clear.
"Of course, your new name will be added to your old one. You'll just need to learn to respond to the new one that is all." Asura said as he shifted his hold on the pony so that she was lying curled up in his arms. "Now rest young one that fight must have taken a lot out of you for one so young. I shall bring us both home in due time."
"Wuv you papa," Twilight said as she drifted off.
Asura paused at that before grinning "I love you too young one." With that Asura picked up speed as he began running towards home. What neither of them knew was Twilight's appearance was noticed by a god.
"This is interesting," A voice said to the open-air "one of the few immortals from that world followed me and is now in the care of my chosen heir." A flash of gold appeared for a moment as a Pure Gohma was destroyed. "And with its appearance, Viltra's mind has partially awoken and is making the true Gohma how irritating. What to do? For now, I'll do nothing I have to let my vessel be born first after all." With that, the god's presence faded back to Naraka.
