Before we start this chapter this is only one announcement I have to say:
I just put up a poll in my profile and I would like it if you vote. The question is: If I were to write another Dragonball Z/DC comic base story and create my own OC Saiyan, which female superhero will they be paired up with? I know this is unrelated to this story, but I would like your opinion.
That being said, let's get started.
Chapter 52
Blackheart walked into the Hall of the Dead and found the Arkay Priest name Styrr almost breaking down in fear. He walked up to the frighten priest and said "Excuse me? Are you the priest who's going to help me stop Potema?"
Styrr looks at him and said "Yes, I am. Fortunately, Potema is in her sprit form, so there is a way to stop her before she needs more help for her to return to the realm of the living."
"Okay then," Blackheart said, "Tell me what I have to do to stop her."
"Taking on Potema won't be easy," Styrr said, "But you are the one to do it. As for Potema, find what's left of her body, likely a skeleton. Remove it from the catacombs and bring it back to be sanctified by Arkay."
Blackheart nodded and said "Find what's left of her body and bring it. Got it."
Styrr then hands Blackheart the key to the catacombs and said "This key will allow you to enter Potema's Catacombs, which it located underneath the Temple of the Divines. A Draugr crashed through a wall and created an opening to proceed into the catacombs. But be careful, who knows what danger lurks in there."
Once he got the key, Blackheart said "I will, but once I am done with that, I am going to deal with another mad queen."
"What was that?" Styrr asked.
"Nothing," Blackheart said, "I will be on my way."
With that, Blackheart left the Hall of the Dead and made his to the Temple of the Divines. On the way, Mephala said "That was mean about you saying that you will have to deal with another mad queen."
"It's true," Blackheart said, "One minute she was nice and the next she is pissed off at me."
Mephala said "Because she believes that you lied to her."
"The only thing that I lied is where I am from," Blackheart said, "That's it!"
Mephala sighed and said "Whatever you say."
As Blackheart rolled his eyes, he made his way to the Temple of the Divines. Once he entered the temple, he walked around until he found the hallway that leads under the temple. When he approached the closed iron door, Blackheart unlocked the door and saw a destroyed wall that left an opening. The moment that Blackheart entered the hole, he was soon inside a hidden building structure. After walking down the stairs, he walked through the hallway and found an iron gate closed on him. When he looks around, he couldn't find a lever to open the iron gate. Irritated, he cursed until he saw a wall picture of Potema herself. All of a sudden, purple energy started to flow out of the picture and danced around Blackheart's body.
As the energy danced around his body, Potema's voice said "You've arrived at last. The hero who prevented me from being bound returns to my fold."
"Oh shit," Blackheart said, "Not her."
Potema then said "I have much to thank you for, little one. When you die, I will raise you and you can take your place by my side. You'll serve me soon enough."
"Not a fucking chance!" Blackheart yelled, "Anyone who is going to die is you!"
Potema said "We shall soon see."
As Potema's voice disappeared, the iron gates opened. Blackheart walked through the hallways and encountered vampires. Taking out Dawnbreaker, Blackheart manages to kill the vampires. After killing the vampires, he walks down the hallways and was soon face to face with more Draugrs. Knowing that the Dawnbreaker has the same effect on vampires, Blackheart manages to kill every Draugr. As the last one remained standing, the Draugr rushed up to him and swings its Battle Axe. When Blackheart blocks the axe, he counters it and swings Dawnbreaker across the Draugr's head and decapitates it. After killing the Draugr, Blackheart continues walking down the hallways for more than 10 minutes until he enters a chamber where a Master Vampire was standing there while a Draugr Deathlord was sitting on one of the throne chairs.
When Blackheart saw the vampire, it said to him "You are not setting another foot."
All of a sudden, the Draugr Deathlord started to rise from it seat and took out its Ebony Greatsword. As Blackheart held onto Dawnbreaker, he took out one of his Plasma Pistols and aims it at the Draugr Deathlord. After a couple of shots, the Deathlord was still standing. Irritating with the Deathlord, Blackheart rushed up to it and swings Dawnbreaker, only to be blocked by the Master Vampire's sword. Unknown to them, the flames that Dawnbreaker was emitting was going on the vampire's hand. In pain, the vampire dropped their sword and grabbed its burned hand. Distracted by the pain, the vampire didn't see Blackheart pointing his Plasma Pistol towards it head and fires it, blasting the vampire's head off.
After he kills the vampire, the Draugr Deathlord roared and swings it sword at Blackheart. As Blackheart blocks the Draugr's sword, he aims his pistol at the Draugr's knees and fires it. The Draugr fell to its knees in pain and Blackheart stabs the Deathlord in the back with Dawnbreaker. Once he brings the Draugr Deathlord to the ground, he pulls out his sword and shot the Draugr in the head. After killing both the Draugr Deathlord and the Master Vampire, he walked up to the closed door and tries to open it, but it was locked. Thinking that the vampire might have something to open the gate, Blackheart searches through the vampire and found a key. Once obtaining the key, Blackheart walks up to the gate once more and opens the door. Preparing for the battle ahead, Blackheart readied his weapons and entered Potema's Sanctum.
As he enters the sanctum, he enters the Embalming Room where he sees urns along with corpses wrapped in cloth. After he past through the room, he walked down the hallway and soon entered the Corpse Shrine. Blackheart whined when he saw the floor filled with Draugr corpse. As he looks to his right, he sees another picture of Potema on the wall.
Potema's voice then said "Not much further. Come, little one. Serve me in death."
Blackheart said "Not a fucking chance!"
All of a sudden, purple energy started to flow out of the picture and into two corpses. The two Draugr started to rise and readied their weapons at Blackheart. As Blackheart took out Volendrung, he swings it at one of the Draugr and smashes its head. When the other Draugr swings its sword, Blackheart blocks it with Volendrung's hilt. As Blackheart pushes the Draugr back, he swings the Hammer of Might and crushes the Draugr left side. After he kills the last one, Blackheart puts away Volendrung and exits the room. Not even seconds later, he was standing in front of the door where he is going to be face to face with Potema. After taking a deep breathe, he opens the door and enters.
Once he enters, he sees Potema's Sanctum Chamber where it was an oval-like room where 12 tombs were standing. But that wasn't the worse things he sees. In the air of the center room, there was a cloud of purple energy that was emitting lightning. Inside the cloud was a silhouette of Potema laughing at him.
"Finally!" Potema's voice cried, "You have come to me! Now I will see you die before my eyes!"
When Blackheart looks around, he saw three Draugrs bursting from their tombs. As each of them took their Ancient Nord Greatswords, they all charged towards Blackheart ready to attack him. He took out Mephala and blocks one of their attacks. When another one tried to attack him, Blackheart kicks it in the chest and knocks it down. After he knocks the Draugr down, he pushes the other Draugr back and stabs it in the head.
After he pulls out Mephala of the Draugr's head, a blast of lightning shot out of Potema's silhouette and near Blackheart feet. Alerted, Blackheart moved away from the blast. However, the blast of lightning started to move towards him. As one of the Draugrs was caught in the crossfire, the lightning reduced it to ash!
"Holy shit!" Blackheart yelled as he started to run away from it.
Using his free hand, Blackheart used his Flame Spell and attacked the remaining Draugr. Right after he kills it, three more tombs opened and three Draugr Wights emerged and wielded their Nord Battle Axes. As he whined, Blackheart summoned his Plasma Pistol and shot one of them in the head, killing it instant. Just then, a blast of lightning came in between Blackheart and the two Draugr Wights. When the lightning was coming closer to Blackheart, he turned around and started to run away from it.
Potema's voice yelled "Rip the eyes from his head!
All of a sudden, three more tombs burst open and three Draugr Scourges walked out of the tombs. Blackheart yelled "What the fuck?!"
After he puts away his Plasma Pistol, he took out Sanguine's Staff and summoned a Dremora Lord. As the Dremora Lord took on the remaining Draugr Wights, Blackheart puts away his weapons and took out Volendrung. When he rushes up to one of the Draugr Scourge, he swings his Hammer of Might across its head and sent it flying away. When another one charged towards him, Blackheart block the Draugr's attack counters it by smashing the Draugr's side body. Once the Draugr fell dead, the last one tried to attack him, but it wasn't fast enough as Blackheart spins around the Draugr and swings Volendrung into the back of its head, killing it instantly. Once the Dremora Lord finished killing the remaining Draugrs, it disappeared into thin air.
In rage, Potema yelled "You will not survive long enough!"
As purple energy flowed out of Potema once more, it flowed into the remaining three tombs and they burst open to reveal three Draugr Deathlords! Wanting to end this quickly, Blackheart took out Vengeance and aimed at the three Deathlords. As the end glowed, Blackheart fired Vengeance at the Draugr Deathlords and in a matter of seconds, the three of them dropped dead. All of a sudden, the purple energy that was in the center of the room started to flow into the iron door in the other end. Once the purple energy entered, the door bursted outwards and a ghost form of Potema was overlooking Blackheart.
In rage, Potema yelled "You have done enough damage! Do you have any idea what I had to do to obtain those corpses?! You have killed my entire army!"
Blackheart looked around and said "Really? THAT was your entire army? Man, you suck at making an army."
All of a sudden, Potema raised her hands towards Blackheart and fired a blast of lightning at him. As the blast landed a clean hit on him, Blackheart cried in pain as he was sent flying back
"Fuck!" Blackheart cried, "That hurts!"
Mephala said "That's what you get for messing with her."
As he got up, he saw Potema ready to attack. When Blackheart rolled out of the way, Potema fired a blast of lightning that missed. Aiming Vengeance at Potema, Blackheart fired countless beams of lasers at her. But to his surprise, the blast went right through her. Potema laughed and fired another blast of lightning at him. Even though Blackheart put up his Lesser Ward Spell, it wasn't strong enough to block Potema's attack. The blast landed a powerful blow to Blackheart's chest and caused him to fly backwards. When Blackheart moan in frustration, he got up and fired Vengeance once more.
Knowing that it is not affecting her, Blackheart puts Vengeance away and shouted "YOL TOOR!"
As he released a blast of fire, Potema just stood there not taking any damage! When she laughed, Blackheart said "Alright, let's see how you like this!"
At that moment, Blackheart took out the Wabbajack and fired a blast at Potema. When the blast collided, Potema laughed and said "You see? Nothing can…"
All of a sudden, there was a blast of red smoke, and to Blackheart's surprise, Potema exploded into a…Sweet Roll? As the sweet roll fell to the floor, Blackheart picked it up, took a bite and said "Now that is what I call a tasty victory."
Mephala replied "Now that is wrong in many levels."
Blackheart laughed and said "It's sad, but it's what that bitch got."
After he finished the sweet roll, he walked into the throne room and saw the throne chair. On it, there was a skull with a Sapphire Circlet on it. When he took it, Blackheart said "Great! Now let's get this back to that priest!"
"Where is that demon?" Tullius asked who was waiting outside the Temple of the Divines.
Legate Rikke replied "Maybe he is having a difficult time dealing with the Draugrs."
Tullius shook his head and said "No way, I beat he left."
All of a sudden, Blackheart burst through the doors and yelled "Run!"
Just as they were about to ask, eight Draugrs chased after Blackheart. Blackheart yelled "Where the hell are these things coming from?! I thought I killed her!"
Rikke said "Go to the priest! We'll handle this!"
Blackheart nodded and ran towards the Hall of the Dead as fast as he can. When he was near the place, he enters and saw Styrr. He walks up to him and said "Hey, old man. I got her skull."
When he summoned Potema's skull, Blackheart said "Now do your thing and get rid of all the zombies!"
Styrr got the skull and said "I will."
With that, Blackheart exited the Hall of the Dead. He then took out his two Plasma Pistols and said "Now let's get rid of the rest of the zombies."
He then rushes back to the Temple of the Divines and saw the remaining Draugr still standing. Aiming his Plasma Pistols, he fired countless blasts until all the Draugr are dead. After taking a deep breathe, he said "Glad that's done."
Tullius then said "It's not over yet."
Confused, Blackheart asked "What are you talking about…"
He got his answer when he saw six Imperial, including Tullius and Rikke, had their swords pointing at him
"Ah shit," Blackheart said.
Tullius said "Now that this problem is done with, now we deal with you."
"You have got to be kidding me," Blackheart said, "I just saved this place from these zombies."
"He does have a point," Rikke said, "It was him who first noticed the Draugrs, General."
"Yeah," Blackheart said, "Listen to her."
Tullius thought about and said "We are taking you to the Jarl. She will decide your fate."
"Perfect," Blackheart thought before saying, "Fine, let's go."
With that, Blackheart followed Tullius and Rikke to the Blue Palace where he is going to face to face with Elisif, who is still pissed at him. Blackheart just sighed as he was going to face his fate.
How will Blackheart get out of this one? Next time, forming a truce with the Imperials. P.S. When I used the Wabbajack on Potema, she actually turned into a sweet roll and I ate her. Messed up I know, but I was bored and it was a short fight. Until then, please review.
