Sleepless D: Enjoy my new story people, review please, thanks. Peace out.
Immediate update: Forgot to mention this, but key choices in the Main Character's life and friends are decided on a vote basis. And the story is very similar to the beginning of Skyrim, but that's to ease you into it and will increase in different affairs.
Grogginess, pain, confusion as the person felt like he was moving, he tried to open his eyes, but it was very blurry and he slumped to his right, hitting someone and leaned against them for a minute. He finally realised what he was doing and sat up slowly, opening his eyes fully and looked, seeing that he was in a cart, but not his and became more confused. He looked down and saw that his wrists were bound and his clothes were torn and some blood was on them.
"Hey, you, finally awake." Someone says, his eyes focused more and he sees a banged up, dirt covered man in front of him, making him confused and knew he wasn't on his cart anymore. "You were trying to cross the border with that small lot of caravans, right?" The man asked.
The slightly disillusioned person nodded and looked around, seeing a few other people on the cart as well. "Wha...What happened?" He asked, throat feeling dry and sore.
"The caravans got caught in the ambush, the Imperials couldn't tell who belonged to which party and now you're with us and that thief over there." The man informed him.
The slightly blood covered person had short, messy blond hair and whisker marks on his cheeks. "Thief?" The blond asked and looked to see a person in rags, looking angered and glared at the person talking.
"Damn you Stormcloaks, Skyrim was fine until you came along. The Empire was nice and lazy, if they hadn't been looking for you, I'd have stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell." The thief says in annoyance.
"Wait...you were that guy who asked for a ride with some other cart with us..." He says, gaining a slightly uncomfortable look from the thief.
"Yeah, I was going to steal one of the spare horses...But still, you and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormclaoks the Empire wants." The thief says and looked at the blond.
The blond looked and saw another person wearing the same armour as the friendly Stormcloak; he had red swirls marks on his cheeks and much larger then everyone on the cart. The person that he leaned on, he was wearing finely made clothes and a gag over it mouth. "We're all brothers and sisters in arms now, thief." The first man says.
"You always sound hopeful, don't you Ralof?" The large man says, looking nervous now.
"Shut up back there!" A new voice yelled, the blond looked and saw an Imperial soldier driving the cart and what happened started coming back.
Flashback
Several carts were moving along a rocky road, some small areas around there and the road was on a very narrow hill and large boulders covered the area. They were coming close to a wooden bridge and things seemed to move near the rocky area and trees, more movement coming from the higher area and some near the lower area. The caravans and carts were crossing over the bridge, people talking and not paying attention to the world around them,
A blond was driving the cart, having several crates on the cart, also having a couple of people on the cart as well, one having black hair and dressed in leather armour and a sword on his side. Next to him, there was a pink haired girl wearing lightly tanned robes and a small knife on her side.
The black haired man looked ahead and saw people coming over the hill, looking closer to see over three dozen armed men wearing the same armour and a few of them were on horses. "Hey! I recognise the armour! Avoid eye contact and stay quiet!" One of the others people on the other carts yells.
"What?" The blond went, but the pink haired girl kicked him in the back of the head.
"Naruto! Just shut up!" She yelled and lowered her eyes.
After a minute, the armoured men were walking passed the carts, Naruto kept looking up and was confused since he didn't even know who there were, seeing men and women armed. "Who are they?" Naruto asked, but gained another kick from the pink haired girl.
The black haired man sighed, but he suddenly felt something, almost like danger and could just hear something. A large amount of pain was felt on his left side, he yelled and looked to see an arrow in his arm, he grabbed around the wound and clenched his teeth. The pink haired girl looked at why he yelled and screamed in shock that he was wounded. "Sasuke!" She yelled, making people look.
Arrows started falling and hitting carts, caravans, people on them and most of the armoured men and women passing them. The people on the caravans took cover by jumping off their carts and caravans and hiding underneath them; the other armed people hid behind the carts or raised their shields.
Above the steep, rocky hill were men in Imperial armour armed with bows and firing at the people below. "Cover the bridge!" One of the Imperial soldiers yelled, soon having over a dozen people come out of hiding places and were on the other side of the bridge they crossed a little while ago.
"Protect Ulfric!" One of the Stormcloaks yelled, the people lost their horses as most of the horses were hit by the arrows and died.
"Rear guards! Attack from behind!" The Imperial guard yelled.
Yells were heard from the other side of the road, the people looked and saw Imperials guards coming up from hiding places and started attacking the Stormcloaks. Naruto was hidden behind a crate while Sasuke and the women jumped off and were hiding behind the cart, Sasuke clenching his teeth as the woman ripped the arrow out and started healing him.
A couple of Imperials charged at the two, Sasuke pulled out his sword and blocked the attack of one of them and kicked the other one in the gut. "Sakura! Get out of here!" Sasuke yelled, swinging his sword and hitting the Imperial's shield.
"But Sasuke-" Sakura began to argue.
"Now!" He yelled, kicking the shield away and stabbed the Imperial in the chest and kicked him away as he focused on the other guard.
Sakura was scared and began running, trying to avoid the Stormcloaks and Imperials attacking each other, scared as blood splattered on her. 'By the gods!' She screamed to herself.
"Naruto! Get out here!" Sasuke yelled, fighting hard, but couldn't use his left arm as much.
Naruto sat up and looked around, seeing everyone fighting for their lives, a loud voice came and a few Imperials few sent flying. Naruto was confused and jumped of the cart, looking around and quickly grabbed the dead Imperial's sword and was scared now, only ever fought with Sasuke and never been in an actual fight that wasn't more than a drunk bandit.
Sasuke ducked a swing of the Imperial and stabbed the Imperial in the leg, making him scream in pain and fall to the ground. Naruto was surprised how well Sasuke was doing, Naruto looked and yelled in shock as an Imperial started attacking him, swinging his blade and Naruto dodged to the side and the sword hit the cart and became stuck. Naruto smashed his fist onto the Imperial's face and then kicked his foot into the guard.
Sasuke quickly moved, dodging attacks from both side and kept moving to the back, Naruto tried to follow, but an Imperial tackled him, having lost his sword and started smashing Naruto in the back of the head with his shield. Sasuke continued to run, but he was soon hit by a couple of arrow, one in his back and one in his leg, making him yell in pain and stumble.
He looked back and saw that Naruto wasn't there, cursing since he couldn't go back for him and kept moving until he reached the bridge. He stopped and was shocked and cursed when he saw the guards there, a few of them were armed with bows and fired at Sasuke.
He narrowly dodged them and moved to the side and collapsed in pain, leaning against the railing and tried to move forward and another arrow hit him in the abdomen. He coughed up blood and looked down, seeing a long, violent river and a waterfall only a few hundred yards ahead of it. The Imperials placed the arrows on their bows again and took aim, firing at hitting Sasuke and making him fall off and fall into the violent river and never emerged from it.
Naruto felt like his head was cracking open, but he managed to flip him off and Naruto grabbed the Imperial's throat and started strangling the man. After a minute, the guard was blue and his eyes were practically popping out, life left his eyes and Naruto fell off, breathing hard and his head pounding. Naruto climbed up the cart, trying to find a way to get up as he was out of breath.
Naruto looked around, seeing Sakura still running since she was the only pink haired person, she was nearly out of the fight zone, but suddenly, a mace came from nowhere and hit her in the back of her head. She collapsed and Naruto was in shock, ignoring that the Stormcloaks were losing and under a dozen of them began running, pushing through the Imperial and began running down the steep hill.
The Stormcloaks were scared and their leader held up his hands. "We surrender!" He yelled while the Imperials holding up their weapons as the Stormcloaks dropped theirs.
Naruto staggered forward, ignoring the pain and moved forward, punching an Imperial in the face and continued moving. A few other Imperials saw this and grabbed him, quickly smashing him in the gut and then smashing his head with a mace and knocking him out.
End Flashback
"My friends! Where are my friends?!" Naruto yelled, looking around, but couldn't see pass the prisoners and Imperial guards.
"Friends? We don't know about your friends, there's this guy, is he one of them?" The large man says and a small man comes out from behind the man next to Naruto.
"Hello, don't know you or anyone here, other than this guy." The short man says and nods his head to the man in between him and Naruto.
"Who are you anyway Breton?" Ralof asks, finding the Breton in robes in a weirdly pleasant mood.
"Dan's my name, sometimes named Dan the Lucky, or Dan the Undead." The small man says.
"...Why the Undead?" The large man asked.
"Well...if any of you guys survive this, you may see me around." The man says and rolls off the cart, landing on his feet and began running.
"Prisoner's making a run for it!" An Imperial guard yelled, a few of the Imperials took out bows and started firing at the escaping man, quickly following the man and trying to kill the fleeing man. More men followed them and the prisoners were shocked that a man tried to run when they had several Imperial guards around them.
They continued to move for several minutes, no word from what happened to that weird guy. "So what's wrong with him, huh?" The thief asked.
"Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King." Ralof says in an angry tone.
The thief looked in shock and soon became scared. "Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you... Oh gods, where are they taking us?"
Ralof looked at him. "I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits."
"I believe that's true..." The large man says, sounding slightly scared.
The thief look even more scared. "No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening."
"Hey, what village are you from horse thief?" Ralof asked.
"Why do you care?" The thief asked, becoming a little confused by him asking.
The large man sighed. "A Nord's last thoughts should be of home, mine is Whiterun." The large man says.
The man looked down. "Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead." He says, a fort coming into view and guards were on the wall.
They soon entered the fort, seeing guards and people doing their jobs or watching the carts move further into the cart.
"General Tullius, sir. The headsman is waiting." They heard an Imperial call out, making Naruto and the thief become nervous.
Tullius: "Good. Let's get this over with!" An elderly voice came, believing to be the General Tullius.
The thief started to panic. "Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me." He cries, starting to hyperventilate.
"Calm down, it doesn't help with you panicking..." The large man says and looks at him, also scared.
"Look at him. General Tullius the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this." Ralof says in bitterness, Naruto looking to see an elderly man on a horse facing a few High Elves, looking to be talking about something.
They continued to move down a stoned path, people watching and Naruto became bothered by this and tried to calm down. "Where are we?" Naruto asked, trying to loosen his bonds, but couldn't.
"This is Helgen, I use to be sweet on a girl here I wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with juniper berries mixed in." Ralof wonders, Naruto looking at him and realised that he was trying to take his mind of dying. "Funny...when I was a boy, the Imperial walls and towers use to make me feel so safe." Ralof says and looks at them as the cart passed them.
"I know what you mean..." Naruto says, having done trades with Imperial guards at their towers to make a few gold pieces.
People were whispering, talking, Naruto ignored them and knew it won't go and became even more annoyed. The cart began to slow down and Naruto knew that they reached their destination. "Why are we stopping?" The thief asked, becoming more scared.
"Why do you think? End of the line." Ralof says and the carts stopped and the Imperial guard gets off the cart. "Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting." Ralof says, getting up and the other Stormcloak did so with their leader.
"No! Wait! We're not rebels!" The thief yelled in fear.
"Face your death with some courage, thief." Ralof says in annoyance since the thief couldn't deal with facing his death, Naruto was along the same lines, but he knew it could cause problems.
"You've got to tell them! We weren't with you! This is a mistake!" The thief cried.
"Step forward when we call your names from the list!" A woman called, Naruto looked and saw the woman, wearing heavy Imperial armour, and next to her were two men, both wearing lighter version of the armour. "One at a time!" The woman yells, staying serious.
"Damn Imperials love their damn lists." Ralof says and stands next to Naruto.
"Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm." The man nearest to her says.
"It has been an honour, Jarl Ulfric." Ralof says and bows his head in respect.
"Chouji Akamichi of Whiterun." The man with the list calls, the large man walks forward.
Naruto looked and saw the large man looking at one of the Imperial guards, he couldn't see his face, but the Imperial mouthed 'I'm sorry', making Naruto confused.
"Ralof of Riverwood." The man then called and Ralof walked away, stopping with the others that were called from the other carts. "Lokir of Rorikstead." The man then called.
"No! I'm not a rebel! You can't do this!" The thief known and Lokir yelled, soon running for his life and pushes past the Imperial Captain.
"Halt!" The woman yelled, a couple of guards pulling out their bows, quickly firing their arrows at the thief and collapsed, arrows in his back and Naruto felt fear.
"Poor fool." The other guard with the Captain says, bowing his head.
"Wait, you there, step forward." The list carrying guard says and Naruto nervously steps forward. "Who are you?" He asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki..." Naruto says and looks at the others, but doesn't recognise any other the prisoners. "Where are my friends!?" Naruto yelled, anger now taking over.
"Don't act like that if you know what's good for you." The Captain says with an angry tone.
"Tenten...don't be mean, he may not be alive in a few minutes." The third guard says, not having a helmet and having black hair in the shape of a bowl.
"It's been a rough day; your friends are either dead or taken to Solitude for trial, now keep quiet." Tenten orders him.
"Well where ever you're from, you came to visit Skyrim at the worst time. Captain, what should we do?" The list soldier says and lowers the list.
Tenten thought for a few seconds, but one of the soldiers walked behind her and whispered into her ear, she sighed. "He's going to the block as well." Tenten says and points him to the group of Stormcloaks.
"By your orders Captain, I'm sorry; we'll send your remains back to Cyrodiil. Follow the Captain, prisoner." The man says while the other one known as Lee looked slightly surprised by this, but nodded as he walked away, not wanting to see people die.
Naruto sighed in slight nervousness and followed, stopping when he reached the Stormcloak rebels, seeing half a dozen guards, a priestess, the headsman and a High Elf in black robes. "Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero. But a hero doesn't use a power like the Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne." The elderly man says, Naruto guessing was the General and gained annoyed grumbles from Ulfric. "You started this war, Plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace." The General says.
A loud roar was head in the distance, like something that shouldn't be on this world, causing everyone to look around, but saw nothing. "What was that?" Someone asked.
"It's nothing. Carry on." He orders.
"Yes, General Tullius." Tenten says and stands straight. "Read them their last rights." She orders and a priestess raises her arms.
"We commend your souls to Autherius; blessings of the Eight Divine upon you, for you are the salt and earth of Nirn, our beloved..." The priestess says to us.
"For the love of Talos, shut up and let's get this over with!" One of the Stormcloaks yells and walks forward.
The priestess looked slightly offended by this. "As you wish." She replies and walks away, not wanting to see the deaths.
The Stormcloak looked at the block, keeping a brave face on as Tenten pushed him onto the block. "Come on, I haven't got all morning." He says and tried to look at anyone, but only saw the headsman. "My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?" He asks, the headsman raising his axe, the world seemed to slow down as his axe fell, soon severing the man's head and falling into the box under it. Blood sprayed out of his neck, making some people sick and Naruto wanted to throw up and hear people yelling, but didn't notice what they were saying.
"He never feared death, not even on the battle field..." Chouji says, lowering his eyes.
"He died the way he was...fearless, to the bitter end." Ralof also comments.
"Next...the renegade from Cyrodiil." The High Elf in black robes yells while a couple of guards dragged the headless body away.
An echoing roar was heard again, making everyone become distracted. "There it is again. Did you hear that?" An Imperial guard asked, becoming nervous by the sound as it grew closer.
"I said, next prisoner!" The elf yelled, soon a Imperial guard grabbed the back of Naruto's neck and started moving him forward, pushing him down and made sure he stayed on the block.
Naruto's heart was racing, he could only see the headsman and the Stromcloaks' head, seeing half of its face and blinking, making him scared even more. A roar was heard again, something moving in the distance behind the tower and a few people screaming in fear. "What in Oblivion is that!?" The General yelled while the headsman raised his axe to finish Naruto off.
"I don't know Sir!" Tenten yelled, feeling the danger of death coming, but not sure where.
A loud and forceful crash was heard, causing the headsman and a few people close to the tower being pushed forward. "Dragon!" A guard yelled in shock, people quickly arming themselves as the dragon looked around at the crowd.
The headsman came into view again and the dragon roared, causing the sky to darken, turning red as if it was on fire and things fell from the sky. A fiery ball hit the ground near Naruto, causing him and the headsman to fly away by the force, causing Naruto's world to go black.
He opened his eyes, but seeing nothing but black and found it hard to breathe; he pushed the object on him, making it role over and soon smelt a horrid burning smell. Naruto coughed as his vision was blurry from a sudden concussion, looking and seeing the headsman dead, skin and clothes burnt and body still smoking. 'What's going on...' Naruto thought, looking around and seeing guards firing arrows into the sky, seeing them yelling, but a ringing was going through his mind.
Someone came into his sights, seeing bluish armour and a man yelling at him, but he couldn't hear him, he soon realised this and slapped his hand against Naruto's face, bringing him back. Naruto started to hear again as the man pulled him up, hearing screams of terror and the man dragging him since Naruto's feet were still a little unresponsive.
"..the gods won't give us another chance!" The man yelled whilst Naruto looked around, seeing more bodies and balls of fire hitting the ground and exploding.
He looked further and saw a few Stormcloaks making a run through the walled village, probably wanting to save their lives than anyone else's. Naruto tripped and the man quickly threw him through a door and Naruto hit the ground, seeing pain again and heard a door slam. "By the gods! What is that thing?!" Someone yelled, Naruto got up and looked around, seeing a couple of wounded Stormcloaks being tended to. He looked back and saw the large man known as Chouji holding the door closed while Ulfric and Ralof were talking.
"Jarl Ulfric! What is that thing? Could the legends be true? Ralof yelled, looking through a narrow window and seeing more fire rain from the sky.
"Legends don't burn down villages." Ulfric says, staying surprisingly calm.
The tower they were in started shaking. "Talos! Save us!" Chouji yelled, pushing against the door and trying to calm down.
"We need to move!" Ralof yells, another Stormcloak nodded and started running up the stairs after grabbing a bow and several arrows.
Naruto pushed himself up, feeling some burns on his skin and clenched his teeth, looking at his hands and cursed that he was still in binds. "The way is blocked up here! I need help to move these rocks!" The man upstairs yelled.
Ralof cursed and started running upstairs, but the tower seemed to have been hit by something large, and powerful, soon causing the entire floor upstairs to become ablaze and screams of horror and pain came. "Shit!" Ralof yelled, ducking slightly to avoid the flames that disappeared quickly since the flames couldn't burn stone.
Naruto got up, not wanting to stay here and followed Ralof upstairs while Ulfric walked over to his wounded soldiers and tried to help them. Naruto and Ralof reached the next level, but couldn't get any farther since rubble was everywhere and the Stormcloak that went up here was crushed and burnt to a crisp.
"This isn't happening; I'm in a dream, just wake up!" Naruto yelled to himself, looking at his wrists. "I must still be on the cart, not moving my wrists since I'm holding the reins...just need to wait until Sakura hits me again for sleeping..." Naruto says while Ralof ignored him and looked out, seeing a large hole in the inn next to the tower.
"Lad! Jump across to the inn and you'll go through the roof and keep moving!" Ralof ordered him, seeing the inn he use to spend time in burning and knowing that it'll probably not see another day. "Go! We'll follow when we can!"
"Yes, I'll jump, I'll fly, I'll go back home and eat my dinner while I'm dreaming." Naruto says and runs forward and jumps, thinking that he was going to fly but falls and goes through the burnt roof.
"I think he's lost his sanity, but then again, I'm close to panicking again." Ralof says and goes to pick up the bow and arrows.
Xxx
Naruto felt even more pain, having gone through a small amount of fire and was in a room that was ablaze. He ran forward, passing through flames and burnt beds and barrels, soon running onto flaming floors and collapsed, hitting the ground hard and yelled, but continued to run. He soon smashed through a wall since he couldn't see much and hit the cold ground in pain. 'This isn't a dream...' Naruto thought in pain.
"Don't look up. Just look at me. You can do it!" Someone yelled, Naruto looked up and saw a few Imperials guards and a couple of people in his view. He saw a small boy standing in the open, seeing a man on the ground, seeing blood on him and knew he was wounded. "Haming! You need to get over here. Now!" An Imperial guard yelled, he could sound familiar.
Naruto got up and started moving, looking to see a small boy running towards them and a dragon landed on the ground in front of the Imperials, they ran and an Imperial guard grabbed the boy and ran. The dragon roared and flames came shooting and covering the wounded man that was on the ground. "Torolf!" A guard yelled. "Gods! Everyone get back!" He yelled, soon the dragon took off and flew around the fort.
Naruto stopped near them, suddenly remembering that they were about to kill him a few minutes ago and kicked himself. "Daddy!" The boy yelled.
One of the guards looked at him and Naruto recognised him as Lee. "Wow, I thought you died." He says, keeping low to the ground.
The second Imperial looked and was surprised as well. "Still alive prisoner? Stay close to me if you want to keep it that way." He says.
"So we're saving everyone Hadvar? Good, I don't want anyone to die...but it's too late for that." Lee says in a scared voice, looking at the sky.
"Gunnar, take the boy. We have to find General Tullius and join the defence." Hadvar says and holds into his blade's handle tighter.
Naruto looked to see an elderly man with iron armour on grabbing Haming's shoulder. "Gods guide you, Hadvar." He says, moving closer to the wall to try and hide in the shadow.
"Prisoner! Follow me! Come on men!" Hadvar yelled, the Imperial guard and Lee following him, Naruto followed as well, passing the burnt remains of Torolf.
They continued to run and reached between a building and a wall. "Stay close to the wall!" Lee yelled, suddenly, the dragon landed on the wall, causing the area to shake and the bony claw and the end of its wing stabbed through the unnamed guard and stabbed the ground.
"Damn it!" Hadvar yelled, staying close to the wall, Naruto and Lee did the same.
"General Tullius! Over here!" A voice was heard.
The dragon seemed to speak in a foreign language and breathed fire, causing a scream of pain and agony. The dragon took off and Hadvar took a deep breath, moving closer and looked to see that it was clear temporarily. "Quickly! Follow me!" Hadvar yelled and ran up the stone steps.
Naruto and Lee followed, seeing a burnt body and assumed that it was the remained of the man that yelled a few seconds ago. They ran through a burnt down building, hearing people screaming and yelling orders.
They came out and saw several Imperial guards firing at the sky with arrows and spells, Naruto looked around and saw some of the civilians lay on the floor, blood covered. "Tell my family...I fought bravely..." A wounded old man says, holding his gut while an Imperial looked after him, panicked.
"I can't stop the bleeding! I can't stop the bleeding!" The guard says in fear.
The dragon flew down and grabbed a person and caused the people to stagger by the force, the person that the dragon grabbed was released and the person hit the stone wall. General Tullius had his blade out, barking orders and Naruto stopped near Tullius, making him look and wave his hand at him. "Get moving! We've got to keep everyone safe!" He yelled. "Hadvar! Into the keep! We're leaving!" He ordered his soldier. "Lee! Follow him!" He yells, lifting his shield and ducked slightly, managing to block the flames of a dragon. "Is that all you've got!?" He yelled.
Hadvar rushed passed the group, Lee following and Naruto followed them, running up the flaming path and seeing several archers on the wall. "Keep moving!" Hadvar yelled.
They ran through the burning gate, seeing a few Imperial guards taking equipment as they ran and he soon saw the Imperial Captain known as Tenten standing in the middle. "Keep fighting! We have to save everyone!" She yelled, moving towards the keep.
Hadvar soon stopped and Lee did the same thing. "Ralof! You damned traitor! Out of my way!" Hadvar yells.
Naruto stops and see Ralof and Chouji standing there, out of breathe and having weapons this time. Naruto didn't know why, but he noticed an Imperial guard remove his helmet and started removing his armour as he moved towards one of the keep's entrances.
"We're escaping Hadvar. You're not stopping us this time." Ralof yells back.
"Fine, I hope the dragon takes you all to Sovngarde." Hadvar says in annoyance and moves passed him and reached the front entrance with Lee and Tenten already being there. Ralof and Chouji ran to the back entrance with Chouji, reaching the door that the former Imperial guard that removed his armour entered.
Naruto looked back and forth, wondering who he should follow, looking at the sky and the sky remained ablaze.
Sleepless D: Hope you enjoyed it, still wondering which one he should follow, I'll consider any one's thoughts or ideas, so review and I hope you all enjoy it. Peace out.
