Amaterasu's Marvelous Dawn

Well, as Ron Swanson says; "Any dog under 50lbs. is a cat."

It looks cute, which is the main appeal anyway. It looks fi…

*Stares at the eyes*

… Were her eyes always amber? *Checks some official Okami Art & Merchandise*

… .

… You ruined it. You ruined it, my day is ruined because those eyes are now messing with me. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how would you improve the image so that she'd look less like a cat?

I have been influenced by a lot of fan art and I think mentally fell back to that with Ammy's eye color. Might make it black when she regains full power? Super Saiyan eyeballs.
 
Haven't played nor seen Ookami so I'm not sure but will Ammy have a "human form" or is she just permanently "wolf/dog"?
 
Very Short Deadpool Snippet
Got this little scene in my head after seeing a Wade Wilson in the viewers section on the bottom of the page (on SpaceBattles) and pulled it from Discord.

"So, I suppose you're wondering how I got here. How the fuck did Wade Wilson end up naked, on a desert planet, with some uppity bitch by my side?"

"Wuff?"

"No not you, the other uppity bitch."

"Awoof."

"Well that's not very nice, she might be a corpse but she's still got feelings. How would you like it if someone called you the 'Dog of Big Gas Balls'? Not very nice now, is it?"

"..."

"Thats what I thought. Anyways, you lovely readers. There I was, elbow deep inside the Hulk's- Hey, no, don't touch that!"

"Aroo!"

"Hey, no, stop that, you're gonna- well now look what you did. You got a nose smudge on their screen. How are they going to read now?"

...

"WH- DONT LICK IT! You dont know where these perverts have been putting their hands. You practically made out with someone's pee fingers or something, that's disgusting!"

"Grrruff."

"Gasp! You take that back! That was only once!"

"..."

"Twice- no wait... sixteenseventeeneitghteennineteen- ...shut up."

"Woof!"

"Yeah, yeah. Shut it before I turn you into a rug or something. You gonna keep interrupting the voyeurs reading every single thing we think or do? I bet you like it too, you exhibitionist."

"Boof."

"...you're cruel. I hope you get fleas."
 
Hey, maybe Ammy can meet some handsome divine wolves? I'd be really amused to see Geri and Freki stumbling over themselves to take the new hot new wolf goddess out on a date. Offering the best stick, chasing Ratatoskr around, etc.

I suppose it all depends on the direction the story ends up going. For almost all intents and purposes, she's going to be a wolf/dog 99.999% of the time. If anything happens, it's going to need to be a big event and situation strong enough to warrant it.

But until then? Big floofy wolf!

If she does, they're all gonna end up best friends spreading chaos and wholesome around. There's no time for romance, there's people to save and fun to be had!
 
Ay~, new chapter! Gotta admit, kind of a slog to go through since a majority consisted of Ammy, Tony & Steve vs AIM.

Maybe it's just me (it's way past midnight by the time I read/post this), or maybe I just wanted to finish this arc, but I mostly skimmed past this chapter, though I caught a few gems here and there (Killian threatening to steal Pepper & Tony's reaction to that, some of the soldiers not wanting to fight Iron Man & Cap. America, etc)

Definitely enjoyed the bottom quarter of the chapter. I suppose Thor more than likely (accidentally) recruited Ammy to take part in his Dark World adventure. Guess we'll see next chap.

Also, is it really your style to make multiple posts to reply to readers, @InfamousVenous? Cause I gotta admit, seeing *counts* 5 posts from you in a row when all you're doing is just replying to readers is really disorienting. You… are aware that you can reply to multiple people in one post, right?

Sorry you felt that most of it was a slog. I felt that way at the end after going through and rewriting and editing for several weeks, by the end I was just done with it all, I've reread the thing thirty times over at this point. Glad you enjoyed a few parts of it though, those ones weren't at all planned and just some natural things the characters did on their own. First go around was iffy until they made different decisions.

As for Thor, we're kinda a year early for the Convergence to be a thing. I think I mentioned it still being summer and only a few weeks/months after the Invasion. Meanwhile Iron Man 3 took place at Christmas time later that same year. The plot has been accelerated and things are officially off the rails now, so no Dark World coming up.

As for the multiple notifications, I'm on mobile for the moment and unable to access a computer so the way everything is working on the site is iffy at best when doing a normal reply. Everything is fucked with multiple replies in a single message. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm not a fan of making people wait to answer their questions, so I'm not going to wait seven hours until I can get to a computer again just to answer some simple questions or interact with readers. As it is, I'll try and get the multi-reply thing working when there's a significant span of time and multiple comments from the last time I was active.

So Ammy now has access to her fire abilities again, that's going to be fun in the future.
Don't know about anyone else but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when Ammy gets tired of dealing with idiots and just says nope and burns the dummies to non-existence.
Thank you for writing this story.
I hope you have a wonderful day/ night.

Ammy isn't known for having patience, more of a "Fine, I'll do it myself" attitude. That said, I don't see her using fire to really *kill* anyone anytime soon.

Shes not really about ending sentient/sapient beings if she can help it. Still, I'm hyped to find a reason to have her go full send. Maybe I can terrorize Dormamu with the doG of the sun...
 
He grasped and tugged on the cone of ice that had formed over his head,

He's wearing the Cone of Shame!

"Sif shall be paying for my mead for weeks," Thor spoke in a high-pitched, half-attempt at a whisper.

of course it's a bet he needs her for.

"Should we be worried?" Steve asked.

for Ammy? no. You need to be worried for the Asgardiens.

"Fury isn't going to be happy."

And you need to survive the lecture the super spy with be giving you for this hot mess.
 
Quick! Everyone laugh!

Heh, all the Extremis soldiers cringing away from Amy while praying for salvation was equally hilarious. I can't help but imagining whatever god they're praying to looking down on them from the heavens with a bemused smirk on their face.

"Better the mortals than me."

bark from behind

"Waitwaitwaitwaitwait!"
 
Love the Story, like Ammy, I understand you not wanting the MC to be too powerful/OP so that she still "struggles" from time to time to keep things interesting/challenging... But I wish that Ammy was not nerfed... I mean, in the beginning, we see he reposition the SUN, altering Time & Space. this is BEFORE she has gotten the Time Stone...

Now she keeps struggling with all sorts of things, and feels like she is a lot weaker than the earlier chapters, even if we are seeing more and more of her abilities with her gradually regaining her lost power.

Like... I was initially hoping it was gonna play like she was gonna collect/eat/absorb the various infinity stones. Then she would up giving up the Time Stone and just absorbing SOME of the power of the stones, so she could use that power later. Which is still fine, but I guess I am hoping her power actually increasing a lot more? Or that she would get an actually power-boost that she will not be giving up? Maybe have her absorb the Eternal Flame? That would go kinda well with Ammy... Maybe the Flame and the Box of Winters? Since she has Ice and Fire powers?

I'm really happy you're enjoying the story! As for what you say about her being nerfed, I'm a tad confused. She naturally (in the game) has the ability to make it day/reposition the sun (rotate the earth) and there's little effort for that. Realistically moving tens of billions of tons of Earth is absolutely absurd, which is why I ensured that perspective was mentioned a lot in the story early on.

Like with Strange slicing through the bamboo because he finally realized that it was based on the perspective that he was cutting through it. Ammy shifted the whole world because from her perspective, all that needed to happen was a circle in the sky had to be shifted to a new spot. Kind of like how in the game she made a whole new galaxy, when from her point of view she just made spots in the sky swirl around.

As for the rest of it, she's still far more powerful than when she started. She was struggling with the Chitauri, or would get tired from using ice to cover up doorways to hide people from Hulk, where now she's ripping open the ground and making whole structures, all within a few minutes of each other, and not at all stopping. Barely winded.

She's even kept time stone abilities. I probably didn't make it very clear, but when Ammy had dug that hole in her shrine, time on the removed dirt was flowing backwards and putting itself back into the hole. She hasn't really had the need nor realized the time manipulation on small scale at the moment, but she's going to get there. Probably with some encounter with the Ancient One.

I did make mention in the last chapter that Ammy could have easily ended Killian and the Extremis soldiers with minimal effort, but she didn't because she's not a mass murderer. She holds back not because she has to, but because she's strong enough to be able to. Those Extremis soldiers were actively trying to kill them. Ammy, Steve, and Tony were not, which is why they struggled more. They have to regulate their strength and make sure they're careful without getting hurt themselves.

Thanks a ton for reading, and feel free to ask more questions, I'm happy to try and answer to the best of my abilities.

Honestly not sure how they ever expected the "make the Goddess of the sun overheat and explode" to work. I guess they just never considered that title is literal.

I don't think they believed it was real. You know how people are, can't take something at face value until it's right in front of you and tearing down your organization. Whoops! To play Devil's Advocate, they did use an unstable version intentionally made to cause people to detonate. Biological modifications don't work well on a being that's not really mortal.

Oh and as an aside for everyone else, I did re-write chapter 1 and I'm working on chapter 2 right now. There are no content changes or anything, I'm just making them more readable, all the plot is staying the same, so no need to re-read. It's mostly for my sake because I re-read them and was appalled at the quality haha.
 
Omake 4 - Ammy in Space!
scheud on Space Battles said this:
"She can survive in space just fine. In Marvel vs. Capcom, she fights in space no prob.
I think most Okami characters are the same in this regard.
Her son fought Akuro inside a separate universe, IIRC, and I doubt that Akuro/Yami is so accommodating as to create the required atmospheric conditions for his enemies."

So I replied:
"Welp, time to abuse this knowledge for the betterment of the MCU."




"He may have been your father, boy... But he wasn't your daddy."

Quill looked to Yondu, the exploding remains of his Celestial father now out of mind.

"I'm sorry I didn't do none of it right," Yondu looked to Peter, serious as he's ever been. "But I'm damn lucky you're my boy."

There was a soft tap against his chest, and there was no time to realize what had just happened. No time to undo what had just been done.

Yondu had given Peter the last projection space suit.

A field of blue hexagons washed over the human, who only now started to realize what had been done.

"What?"

Yondu merely smiled. He broke his gaze and looked upward. He couldn't let Peter see him struggle. He was supposed to be strong. He looked out into the stars, content, knowing that he had done right in the end. He saved his son.

"Yondu, what are you doing?"

Yondu grimaced.

"You can't!" Peter was growing desperate, fully realizing what choice Yondu had made. "Yondu!"

The jetpack finally fizzled out, now that the atmosphere that had been around Ego's planet had also been sucked into the void. There was no oxygen left to fuel the combustion.

There was no air left to breathe.

"No..." Peter protested. "No." His fingers grasped for the device on his chest. He needed to get it off.

His fingers slipped.

He tried again.

There was nothing to grab. A safety feature to keep him safe.

Yondu kept Peter safe.

"No! Come on!" He clawed at the device desperately, over and over to rip it off of him.

He had to save his dad.

"Come off! No!"

There were so many things he should have done. So many things he should have said. So many things he regretted doing and saying.

There wasn't any time to tell Yondu.

He struggled. He screamed.

He remembered his mother. How he hadn't taken her hand.

Peter forced himself to look at Yondu. This was his last chance. He wouldn't make the same mistake.

One last goodbye.

Light exploded into existence above the duo, a ball of pure energy forming before them. The miniature sun bloomed outward, radiating heat and light and comfort and warmth that seeped into the bones. The frost on Yondu melted away.

He still couldn't breathe.

There was a shove to the back, sending both Yondu and Quill spiralling closer toward that massive ball of plasma and energy.

Then, they stopped.

A field of blue hexagons erupted into existence around Yondu, covering him from head to toe. The Ravager gasped, taking in all that oxygen he had so desperately needed, his eyes regaining their clarity. Yondu kept a firm grasp on his son, fingers tight, body shaking with adrenaline from floating on Death's door.

"Yondu!" Peter cried and crushed the Ravager against him in a tight hug. Screw appearances, nothing else mattered now.

"What in the-" Yondu paused. "What happened?"

"Bark!"

Peter and Yondu both turned their heads toward the source of the noise, unable to fully comprehend what they were seeing.

Amaterasu floated along past the two, paws flailing, spinning in slow circles. She looked at them and gave them both a big doggy grin, completely unfazed by the fact that she was not breathing air, and was floating through space unprotected.

There was a sudden gust of wind. In space! The wolf was sent hurtling in the opposite direction, giving a fading "Awoo!" as she rocketed away, careening toward the spacecraft.

She bounced off the windshield.

The wolf flailed some more, unable to find purchase in the vast emptiness of space. Then, another gust of wind, and the wolf plastered herself to the top of the spaceship, clinging to it with powerful claws.

Amaterasu stood atop the ship, light radiating off her body. She tensed herself up, crouched down, and then raised her head upward, belting out a howl that travelled through the emptiness of space, rattling the ship she stood upon.

"Oi, shut up out there, I can hear you through the hull," Rocket's voice grouched from the ship's communications array.

"...That's a weird fuckin rat."

"Yondu, that's not a rat either."

"What is she then, some kind of goat?"

"No, I-" Peter sighed. "Yes. That is a goat. A Space Goat."

"Woof!"



As an additional little note, I rewrote chapter 2. Nothing changed except for the dream sequence, added a little foreshadowing that'll come into play next chapter, and some quality of life and reading fixes.
