Chapter 4: Heading Back to the Greybeards
Deathstroke was certainly descending into the dungeons where he had hoped to find more magical items the Thalmor were kept. As Deathstroke acted weak in letting his Thalmor captors take him down, Sir Clark had already snuck down toward the dungeon in order to find the intelligence papers that Delphine had ordered to retrieve.
"Alright who do you work for?" asked one of the Thalmor soldiers whom placed Deathstroke in a interrogation room.
"I am not telling who, but I love the pay from the Dark Brotherhood from time to time, then there's the Thieves' Guild that's so generous in handing out cash" continued Deathstroke who was being not cooperative with the Thalmor soldiers.
"Oh this will be fun" said a second Thalmor soldier who was about to torture Deathstroke in order to retrieve the information.
But as soon as the second Thalmor soldier attempted to slice Deathstroke with his sword, Deathstroke ended up giving the Thalmor soldier an uppercut and slammed his fist right into the Thalmor soldier's face. The other two Thalmor soldiers then charged at Deathstroke to which Deathstroke had no problems with them hand to hand combat wise.
"Pathetic, and you call yourselves great High Elves?" laughed Deathstroke as he headed off to search for the magical items.
As Deathstroke began his search, he ran into Sir Clark whom was searching for the intelligence papers from the Thalmor.
"What are you doing here, weren't you at the party?" asked Deathstroke to Sir Clark.
"I eh, got lost" replied Sir Clark.
"Yea, that's so typical, just stay out of my way, and I won't have to show what I can do to you" said Deathstroke.
As Deathstroke went his separate way, Sir Clark came across the unconscious Thalmor soldiers that were in a interrogation room. Deathstroke certainly wasn't kidding to Sir Clark when he said what he meant to say. Sir Clark eventually ventured further into the dungeon, he dodged Thalmor soldiers that were patrolling the area whom were then alerted by another soldier that he found three of his comrades unconscious.
"There must be an intruder afoot" said the Thalmor soldier, "I'll have a few mages come to help out as well."
As the Thalmor soldiers and mages increased their activity in the dungeon, Deathstroke came across a few mages.
"Intruder halt!" ordered one of the Thalmor mages.
"I don't think so" replied Deathstroke.
One of the mages began shooting fireballs at Deathstroke to which Deathstroke was able to dodge and knock both mages out with ease. Several Thalmor soldiers came from behind and drew their weapons and charged at Deathstroke.
"This is really getting quite old" said Deathstroke.
Deathstroke ended up knocking each one unconscious, but while Deathstroke was fighting his way through the dungeon for some magical items, Sir Clark had finally come across the intelligence papers that were from the Thalmor. It was quite obvious that Deathstroke was the perfect distraction for them, as Deathstroke continued fighting the onslaught of Thalmor soldiers, Sir Clark continued his trek on his way back to where Delphine was located.
"I see you have found the intelligence papers from the Thalmor in their embassy" said Delphine as Sir Clark handed it over to her, "blast, it seems the Thalmor are not behind the rise of the dragons at all!"
"What does that mean?" asked Sir Clark.
"It means they're just in the dark as we are" continued Delphine.
"I have to go" said Sir Clark as he was prepared to head back to the Greybeards.
Meanwhile for Deathstroke, he continued to fight onward into the dungeon, a certain J'onn whom had ventured away also was down in the dungeon and noticed the unconscious and injured Thalmor soldiers.
"What happened here?" asked J'onn to a Thalmor soldier who was badly injured.
"An intruder" replied the Thalmor soldier who was quite weak, "we could not stop him."
J'onn ends up venturing further into the dungeon, a high level Thalmor mage ends up confronting Deathstroke.
"You shall not retrieve these" said the Thalmor mage to Deathstroke as he was guarding the magical items that Deathstroke had searched for.
"Too bad, because I am going to get them anyway" said Deathstroke.
The Thalmor mage started to fire some lightning sparks at Deathstroke managing to hit him in the process, but Deathstroke ended up recovering and ended up giving a combo attack on the Thalmor mage. The Thalmor mage recovered and continued to send sparks of lightning toward Deathstroke at an unrelenting speed.
"Fool, you cannot get passed me!" roared the Thalmor mage.
"That's what you think" replied Deathstroke.
Deathstroke ended up dodging the sparks of lightning, which was close to some gas that was on the ground literally lighting the place on fire. The smoke made it impossible for the Thalmor mage to see Deathstroke.
"Show yourself!" roared the Thalmor mage.
"Right behind you" replied Deathstroke.
Deathstroke ended up grabbing the Thalmor mage from behind in trying to break the mage's neck, but the mage ended up body slamming Deathstroke.
"Now intruder, you shall taste my vengeance" continued the Thalmor mage.
But Deathstroke had other ideas, he grabbed some water and splashed it, in the Thalmor mage's face and then delivering a good punch sending the Thalmor mage crashing against the wall.
"Get up" said an unfamiliar voice to the Thalmor mage as it belonged to J'onn whom was communicating with the mage telepathically.
The Thalmor mage had the strength to do so, but it wasn't enough, a few more beat downs from Deathstroke was all it took.
"And now if you don't mind" said Deathstroke to the unconscious Thalmor mage, "I'll be taking these."
J'onn knew he had to follow Deathstroke as he was up to something quite the obvious, but who was he working with was the obvious question.
