Dragonborn Justice

Chapter 1: Worlds Collide
Solitude, Capital of Skyrim, Castle Dour.
It was a sunny spring day in the city of Solitude, the capital of Skyrim. People were buzzing in excitement as it was today that the hero of Skyrim, Martin Stormcrown the Last Dragonborn, was going to be crowned High King of Skyrim.
The man in question, Martin, had tried to turn down the offer of being king but many of the people and a few of the Jarls insisted that he take the offer and lead Skyrim into a new age of prosperity. Although there were some who voiced their concerns or rather their displeasure at a mere commoner such as Martin becoming High King, they were but a minority whereas the majority clamoured for Martin to be high king.
The news had reached all corners of Tamriel and many delegates from Hammerfell to Black Marsh had arrived in Skyrim to witness the coronation of the new High King of Skyrim.
Martin was sitting in his room quietly watching the processions of nobles from all over Tamriel arrive into Solitude from the window.
"Amazing, isn't it?" a voice asked and Martin turned to see his close friend and confidante Serana Volkihar entering the room.
"All these puffed-up nobles arriving to see someone crowned king" the vampire woman joked in her usual dry sarcasm.
"Yes, it is rather amazing that all these nobles would be here to witness my coronation" Martin agreed.
"I've heard talk among the nobles that a few of them are thinking of trying to betroth you to one of the many young eligible ladies that are the daughters of all the lords" Serana mentioned offhandedly.
"Oh joy" Martin muttered sarcastically.
"Well it would be your prerogative to take a wife and sire an heir to carry on the new Dragonborn bloodline" Serana said seriously.
"And if I don't want to take a wife?" Martin asked seriously.
"I think the lords and ladies would find a way to convince you" Serana grinned a little.
"I'd much rather find a wife on my own terms than be trothed to one not of my choice" Martin replied.
"And what kind of woman would you want?" Serana asked curiously.
"Well, she's close to home" Martin offered looking at Serana seriously which made the vampire woman look at him in surprise before sighing "Martin, it would never work out between us" she said sadly.
"Why not?"
"Because I am a vampire" Serana answered "And you're a mortal" she said "How many marriages between a vampire and mortal have you heard of?"
"Well admittedly I've never heard of one before" Martin admitted "But I care about you, more than anyone in the world" he said sincerely "And I know of a way to cure you of vampirism" he added.
"You know of a way?" Serana asked and Martin nodded before replying "Aye, and that way we can be together" he said sincerely "Don't you want to be happy?" he asked gently.
Serana looked conflicted before saying "I… I don't think I deserve happiness" she said uncertainly.
"I believe you do, Serana" Martin said to her gently "We all deserve some happiness" he added "Even the worst of us."
"I'll think about it" Serana replied "Right now you need to get ready for the coronation ceremony" she advised as she left the room.
Martin sighed and prepared to dress himself in his own custom ebony plate armour. The armour had dragon-like designs on the metal which had earned Martin the title 'the Black Dragon' among many of the people of Skyrim whenever they saw him. The sight of Martin in his armour had many opponents fleeing from the sight of him and inspired those who were his friends to fight harder.
After buckling and strapping on his armour, Martin then belted on his weapons; first were his pair custom made Ebony short swords then his own custom forged hand and a half bastard sword that he had smithed himself.
The sword itself was made in the Skyforge by Martin after he had become Harbinger of the Companions after the death of Kodlak White-Mane who was the previous Harbinger of the Companions. When Martin had forged his sword, he had spent hours, even days hammering and folding the metal of the blade and no-one could seem to stop Martin from what he was doing.
Eorlund Grey-Mane, the blacksmith of the Companions, had said it was the spirits of the Skyforge who had taken hold of Martin to forge his sword. The result was a sword like no other; the blade was dark in colour with ripples and waves all along the metal. Many would think at first glance that it was made of ebony or Daedric metal. But upon closer inspection they would see that it was indeed made of steel, just that the process of hammering and folding the metal so many times as well as heating the blade with Martin's own dragon-fire had turned the blade such a dark and unique colour.
The crossguard of the sword was made of the same metal as well and fashioned with dragon heads on the pommel and ends of the crossguard and the eyes were inlaid with rubies. In the centre of the crossguard was a large flawless ruby that glowed with a life of its own. The sword was no doubt a masterpiece of artwork, a tue testament to Martin's blade-smithing skills. Many people, both noble and commoner alike had asked Martin if he was willing to forge them a sword just like it or some even foolishly asked if he would sell his.
And the blade was supremely sharp; sharp enough to pierce a dragon's thick hide and Martin used the sword to great effect in battle as flesh and armour were cut clean in half by the edge of the sword. The only materials strong enough to withstand the edge of Martin's sword were ebony, Daedric and dragon-bone, though many would say that there would be deep scratches in ebony metal when Martin's sword struck it.
Martin had yet to name his sword but some gave it the name Dragon's Wrath because whenever Martin drew the sword for battle, many would say that the sword was the wrath of the dragons themselves.
After placing the Dragon's Wrath in its scabbard, Martin then left the room to head down to Castle Dour courtyard where no doubt everyone will have gathered to witness his coronation.
Reaching the courtyard, Martin was greeted by the people who cheered & chanted his name into the air as loudly as they could.
Soon the ceremony began and soon after Martin was crowned high king of Skyrim with the Jagged Crown placed upon his head. The next hour was spent greeting the delegates from all over Tamriel and meeting with many lords and ladies as well as being introduced to many pretty young women, many of whom batted their eyes at the Dragonborn with come hither stares.
Martin ignored the young maidens batting their eyes at him and sat at his chair, hoping something exciting would happen.
Someone should have told Martin to be careful what you wish for… because you just might get it.
A thunderous cracking and booming sounded across the whole Solitude and descending from the sky was a giant in blue and yellow armour. Nobles and commonfolk alike panicked in fear while the city guards scrambled to gather their weapons and prepare themselves for battle. Martin smiled; and here he thought the day was going to be boring.
Calling for Odahviing, Martin drew Storm's Wrath and readied himself for a fight. Seeing their new king ready for battle, the city guards shouted "Protect the king!"
Almost immediately a group of Imperial soldiers surrounded Martin protectivdely much to his annoyance so he ordered them "Don't worry about me! Protect the people!"
Odahviing soon arrived, flying into the courtyard "Dovahkiin! I came as soon as I heard your summons!" the red scaled dragon said to Martin who nodded and got to the matter at hand "Have you ever seen anything like that before?" he asked gesturing towards the blue giant.
Odahviing shook his scaly head and replied "Niid, I have not seen anything like this in all my years, Dovahkiin" he said "Shall we engage it in battle?"
"Aye, let's!" Martin grinned wolfishly as he mounted Odahviing's back and Odahviing shot up into the air and the two prepared to draw on the power of their Thu'um.
FUS RO DAH!
The combined power of their shouts did little to knock over the giant from its spot in the air but it did turn its head to look at them and it raised one giant blue hand and a great beam of energy blasted out from its palm. The streak of energy near hit Odahviing but the mighty dragon was swifter and he veered out of the way and answered back with a great stream of fire from his great maw; flames engulfed the giant but to no avail.
The giant seemingly ignoring the Dragonborn and Odahviing turned its attention to the city below and it opened its mouth and great arcs of energy lanced out from its mouth and buildings and even people, men, women and children alike were vaporised in an instant and drawn into the giant's mouth.
"NO! DAMN YOU!" Martin shouted and he urged Odahviing to fly close to the giant and with his sword he struck a mighty blow on the giant's head; sparks flew from the blade clashing against the giant's armour but there was nary a mark on the blue metal. The giant then looked at Martin and Odahviing, both of whom roared their rage and defiance, and it lifted one massive hand and another blast of energy emitted from its palm. This time it did not miss.
Odahviing and Martin were engulfed in a roiling mass of energy and they then disappeared from Nirn altogether.
…
CADMUS…
It was the aftermath of Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad's off the books sojourn to CADMUS where they had ventured down into the depths below and found the sixteen weeks old clone of Superman aged sixteen years old.
From there it was a whirlwind of escaping with Superboy in tow and a battle with a mutated scientist now named Blockbuster, an appropriate name given that he could bust cinder blocks to powder with its fists.
After defeating Blockbuster by collapsing a ceiling on it, the four young heroes were then greeted by their mentors and currently being told off by Robin's mentor Batman.
"You hacked League computers and disobeyed orders" Batman said sternly "You will not be doing this again!"
Robin was about to protest when a sudden rumble of thunder sounded above them and then a great crack of thunder and falling to the earth was something large that no-one could make out.
"Get out of the way!" Green Arrow shouted and everyone scrambled to get out of the way and hitting the ground, everyone then saw what the massive shape was.
"Oh my god!" Hal Jordan AKA Green Lantern breathed in awe.
"Is that… an actual dragon?" Barry Allen AKA the Flash asked dumbfoundedly.
"I'd say it is" Batman replied calmly, taking the event in stride as though a creature of myth crashed down in front of him every day.
"There's a person with it!" Wonder Woman shouted and just as the Amazon said there was a man on the dragon's back unconscious but breathing.
"Let's get these two to STAR Labs" Batman said before turning to his protégé and his friends and said to them "We'll deal with you four later!"
"How could this get any worse?" Wally West AKA Kid Flash asked "We caught breaking the rules by the big bad bat and now a dragon crash lands in front of us!" he complained.
"On the upside a dragon is pretty cool" Robin snickered "Wonder where it came from?"
"Let's just go home" Kaldur AKA Aqualad suggested "It has been quite a day" he stated.
…
STAR Labs.
Martin woke up with a hollow groan and opened his eyes to see that he was in a white room of some kind and he slowly sat up despite the wave of nausea that threatened to overwhelm him.
"Where am I?" he asked himself "Where's Odahviing?" he then asked.
Then two people in white coats rushed up to him and tried to lay him back down on the bed "Please lie still, sir, we're trying to see any injuries you have!" one white coated person said wearing a blue cap and mask over his face.
"I'm not injured!" Martin growled as he shook off the two people "Where are my possessions?" he asked tensely.
"We're having them examined, please just lie back and let us examine you" one of the people said.
"I don't need to be examined!" Martin growled as he summoned his healing magic and let the golden glow surround his body and he stood up off the bed and tore off the white gown covering his body revealing his naked body "Where are my possessions?" he asked again.
"Sir, we understand that you're confused and disoriented, but please just let us examine you!"
"And I have said that I don't need to be examined!" Martin growled angrily "Now, I'm going to ask you again: Where. Are. My. Possessions?"
"They're being examined!" the white coated people squeaked like frightened mice.
"And where are they being examined?" Martin then asked but no response came which made the Dovahkiin sigh and say "Why must we do this the hard way?" he asked rhetorically as he then kicked down the door of the room and strode out into the hallway and walked into a woman wearing black with long blonde hair.
Dinah Lance AKA Black Canary had been sent to STAR Labs to run a psych evaluation on the new arrival but she didn't expect to run into the man buck naked. Whilst Dinah was in a happy relationship with Ollie, she couldn't help but admire the almost inhuman athleticism of the new arrival. The man had rock hard abdominals and pectorals covered in scars, defined muscular arms and legs along with calloused hands that looked as though they could rip metal bars in half, a handsome face with shoulder length blonde hair and more interestingly if Dinah carried her gaze lower, a sizable manhood that would no doubt be quite long and thick if/when fully aroused.
The man ignored Dinah, brushing past her without an apology, walking down the hallway "Hey! Wait!" Dinah shouted as she ran after the man to try and stop him.
Again, the man ignored her like she was nothing. That irritated Dinah slightly and she tried to grab the man's left wrist to stop him but what she got was being slammed against the wall like a ragdoll and the man's face up close to hers "Do not try to stop me!" he warned before dropping her to the floor and walking down the corridor like nothing happened.
Dinah put a hand to her communicator "Our new arrival is loose! Repeat: our new arrival is loose!" she said hurriedly before picking herself up off the floor and ran after the man to stop him before something bad would happen.
Martin continued walking down the hallway and some men wearing blue uniforms and wielding batons stood in front of him. Their eyes widened as they saw the naked Dragonborn who calmly walked towards them, cracking his knuckles for a fight. The uniformed men then charged towards the Dovahkiin who answered with his fists and his Voice.
A few seconds later, the uniformed men were lying unconscious or frozen in place and the Dragonborn continued down the corridor as though nothing happened and appeared none the worse for wear.
Dinah soon reached the room where Martin had been just moments before and saw all the unconscious or frozen guards 'He did all this damage?' Dinah thought to herself as she hurried down the corridor after the Dragonborn.
Martin then found the room with possessions being examined by a young bespectacled blonde woman who gasped in shock as she saw a naked man enter the room "Oh my god…" was all she could say.
"You have some things that belong to me" the man said to her in a low growl that sent shivers down her spine "I'm taking them back!"
"You… you shouldn't be up!" the young woman babbled almost incoherently, her eyes almost carrying down to the man's crotch where she blushed bright red as she saw the man's manhood.
"As you can see, I am up" the man replied to her as he marched forward and took his armour and weapons from the examination table. With swift precise movements, he buckled on his armour and weapons. Once that was finished the man turned to regard the young woman and spoke to her "Now, where is Odahviing?" he asked.
"Who?" the young woman squeaked in fright at the terrifying image of the man in his dark metal armour.
"Odahviing, my friend" the man stated.
"You mean that dragon?"
"Yes. Where is he?" the armoured man asked.
"He's being examined in the biology department" the young woman answered.
"Take me to him!"
"Okay! Just don't hurt me please!" the young woman yelped in fear as she hurriedly stood and led the man down the corridor. Just as they left the room Dinah caught up with them again "Stop!" the blonde siren shouted.
"I think not!" the Dragonborn said curtly and he shouted three words
FUS RO DAH!
Dinah was thrown back down the corridor, colliding with a wall and slid down groaning in pain, her head spinning from the force of the Unrelenting Force shout.
Martin then looked at the young woman "Take me to Odahviing!" he ordered curtly and the young woman scrambled to lead the man to his draconic friend.
Reaching the biology department, Martin growled in rage as he saw his friend Odahviing unconscious with various sensors and tubes attached to him "Release my friend right now!" the Dovahkiin growled at the scientists who all shocked and one tried to respond "But-but-but we can't do that!" the scientist responded "We don't take orders from you!" he said trying to sound defiant.
Martin grinned in a sadistic manner as he drew his sword and pointed the tip under the man's chin towards his throat "You were saying?" the Dovahkiin chuckled evilly and the man gulped nervously and hurried to follow the warrior's orders.
"Now wake my friend up!" Martin growled at the scientists who hurried to comply and they then activated the sequence to wake Odahviing up who began to shift and stir, his eyes beginning to flicker open.
"Good to see you alive, old friend" Martin said to the dragon comfortingly and the dragon woke up with a growl.
"Geh, it is good to see you as well, Dovahkiin" the dragon rumbled as he awoke from his drug induced slumber "Who is the one that rendered me unconscious with these foul poisons?" the dragon demanded, his blue eyes swivelling to the scientists who were all completely in shock at seeing an actual dragon talk in perfect English.
"Doesn't matter right now" Martin said to the dragon "Where are we is the question" he added.
"I would ascertain that we are in one of the many realms of Mundus, Dovahkiin" Odahviing replied and Martin nodded trusting the dragon's explanation.
Then the doors opened to reveal three people wearing odd garments. Two of them were men and the third was a woman; the first of the two men wore blue armour with a red S on his chest and a red cloak. The second man was covered in black and grey with the symbol of a bat on his chest and a cowl covering most of his head and face. The woman was wearing something that wouldn't be fit for battle or even casual clothing unless you wore them when swimming and she also wore a golden tiara studded with a red star on her head and silver bracelets on her arms and her right hip was a golden rope.
"Who in Oblivion are you three?" Martin asked the three people as he prepared to level Dragon's Wrath against these potential foes.
"Calm down" the blue clad man said "Let's discuss this like civilised people" he suggested.
"And taking my possessions and drugging my friend? Is that how civilised people act in this land?" Martin snapped which made Odahviing rumble in agreement.
"You were unknown to us, we had to examine you" the woman replied as soothingly as possible.
"So that means taking me prisoner?" Martin asked challengingly.
"Who are you?" the dark clad warrior asked or rather demanded.
"Martin Stormcrown the Dragonborn" Martin replied to the man "And right now Odahviing and I getting out of here" he said.
"You fell from the sky for no reason, we need to examine you" the dark clad man responded.
"I'm not asking to leave, am I?" Martin retorted "Odahviing and I are leaving, even if we have to cut you three in half to do it!" he threatened.
"Are you threatening us?" the woman demanded as her hand went to the golden rope hanging by her side.
"Come closer and find out!" Martin challenged as he raised his sword in a ready stance.
"Look, this is all confusing right now" the blue clad man said trying to act as the mediator between parties "Why don't we all go outside and get some fresh to clear our heads and perhaps we can talk?" he suggested.
"Very well we shall talk with you, but then we're leaving!" Martin replied.
…
Batman whispered to Superman "Why did you have to go and do that?" he asked "They may just take off the second we're outside" he said seriously.
"Well, maybe if we're all outside, our new friends may be more reasonable to talk with" Superman replied calmly.
Batman narrowed his eyes at Superman before looking at Wonder Woman and said to her "If they try anything, drop them!"
"With pleasure!" Diana gave a rare savage smile.
Entering the elevator, it was as snug fit as the size of the dragon forced nearly everyone to stay against the walls until the elevator reached the top floor and Martin and Odahviing then stepped out of the elevator and were greeted with a very unusual sight that was completely unknown to them.
"Where are we?" Martin asked himself as he looked at the vast expanse of tall building and winking flashing lights.
"I do not know Dovahkiin" Odahviing said having heard him "I have never seen a realm like this in my life" he added.
Martin then turned to look at Superman and asked "What realm is this?"
"This is planet Earth" Superman responded "And I'm guessing you're not from around here" he observed.
"Nay, Odahviing and I are hail from the realm of Nirn" Martin stated "We are from the land of Skyrim" he added.
"So you want to discuss this like civilised people or do we have to fight?" Superman asked calmly.
"Very well, let us talk peace" Martin replied.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Batman asked taking over the situation right away.
"I was in Solitude, the capital of Skyrim, it was my coronation day" Martin answered.
"So you're a king?" Wonder Woman asked.
"I was."
"What happened that got you and your friend here?" Batman asked ignoring his compatriots.
"Some kind of giant blue monstrosity appeared in the skies and began destroying everything in its path" Martin replied "Odahviing and I took the fight to the creature and tried to engage the beast in combat" he said "But we could do little against the beast" he added bitterly "And the beast then blasted us and we found ourselves here."
"This beast, describe it" Batman ordered.
"It was taller than anything I had ever seen in my life" Martin replied "Covered head to toe in blue and yellow armour and its face was hideous" he described.
"How did you think to fight it?"
"With my sword obviously" Martin replied.
Batman regarded Martin for a moment before talking quietly with his companions.
…
"What do you think? Is he telling the truth?" Batman asked Superman and Wonder Woman.
"I listened to his heartbeat" Superman said "He doesn't appear to be lying."
"Diana? What do you think?" Batman asked the Amazon Princess who answered
"I agree with Kal, this Martin doesn't appear to be lying" she said.
"So what do we do with our new friend and his large pet?" Superman asked the burning question that was on their minds.
"First we need to come up with a cover story and keep them under observation" Batman replied.
"How do you suggest we do that?" Wonder Woman asked.
"We'll keep them out of the public sight" Batman responded "The public or the media don't need to know about an actual dragon roaming the world" he then said.
"And then what?"
"We'll work it out as we go" Batman said before turning to Martin and Odahviing who were looking out at the city expanse.
"We've talked and we've decided that you need a place to stay and a cover" Batman said.
"A cover? What ever for?" Martin asked.
"The people of this world have never seen a dragon before" Superman explained "And if they see a dragon flying around, it could start a mass panic" he said "And you're going to need an identity if you want to blend in with the world" he added.
"I can make my own way in the world thank you very much" Martin deadpanned.
"Well, may we ask that you give this a shot" Superman suggested "It wouldn't hurt right?"
Martin looked at Odahviing who rumbled for a moment. Taking that as answer, Martin replied to Superman "Very well, we shall try it your way. But if this does not work out, we will make our own way as we see fit."
"That's all we can ask" Superman said agreeably.
"So what did you have in mind for my… cover?" Martin asked.
…
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: well that's done, the first chapter of my Dragonborn Justice rewrite is done with. I know some of you were getting antsy over when I'd publish this and the changes I was going to make but rest assured that I am working on it.
In my opinion this chapter seems a little silly given the ending of the chapter but hopefully in the next chapter, we'll see Martin in action against some gang members in New York where he can demonstrate his unique skill sets which will immediately put him at odds with the Justice League and Martin will be confused by the Justice League's methods and ideals of dealing with criminals which many would think is a weak form of justice given that many of the criminals the Justice League are given a slap on the wrist, sent to jail and then break out, rinse and repeat as they.
But Martin's method are very simple: break the law, be punished, break the law again, go to jail, break the law a third time… well you won't get another chance to clean up your act.
Anyhow, onto other matters. I've recently published a new story that is a crossover of Fallout and Elder Scrolls in which the Dragonborn and Serana end up in the Fallout universe. I won't spoil too much but give it a read and let me know what you think of it.
And if any of you have noticed, I've set up a poll on my profile regarding a crossover I have in mind which is a Harry Potter/Game of Thrones crossover. I won't give away too much information, but essentially my Blackfyre OC is raised in a faraway land where Hogwarts resides and you know the drill and the poll on my profile is a list of the girls I could pair with my OC, from Fleur Delacour to Daenerys Targaryen, so have a vote and give me your two cents.
Anyway that's about it from me, so leave a review if you have the time telling me what you like or what you don't like and I'll try to do better.
Take care all,
Angry lil' elf.
