Winterhold is a peaceful city hold that has regained its former glory thanks to Keitaro. Once just a small town with a few buildings, now a thriving city with blacksmiths, artist patrons, and a new harbor for the guard's fleet. Even the College is having an increase of students. Brelyna and J'Zargo make it to the city and see Onmund running to them with fear in his face. "There you are! Where is Keitaro?"

"He said he is going to finish off those bandits." The Dunmer said as the Nord looked scared as he put his hands on his face. "By the Nine… He needs to be here now."

"What is wrong? Why are the guards pushing ships into the water?" The Khajiit wonders why he seems worried about something. The duo notices the Winterhold guards being ready for battle as they stand above ships below the college.

"We are preparing for war. Someone warned us that a fleet from Solstheim is coming to raze the hold to the ground." Onmund reports to the shock of the two mages.

In the college hall, Tolfdir is talking to the two Dunmer that came to warn the city of the invasion force. "So they are coming by sea."

"That is correct mage. Your defenses seem to be efficient but you need more powerful magic to destroy the fleet." The elder Dunmer said with a mocking tone. "You can thank your Nine that my student and I are here to help you."

Tolfdir just sighs knowing it is better to let the dark elf gloat. "Thank you Master Neloth, you as well Talvas."

Brelyna walks inside and sees Neloth and his student. The elder looks at the young woman and smiles. "Brelyna, it is good to see you."

"Hello grandfather." She said to the shock of everyone. Before anyone can say anything, explosions are heard and realize it is the invasion. They head to the roof of the college and see the Redoran Fleet heading to the shores. The Winterhold guards get on ships and sail to the invasion force. Tolfdir yells at his fellow mages. "Mages of Winterhold! Destroy the fleet and protect our ships! Master Neloth, can we count on you to assist us?"

"It would seem you need a master of magic to help you. Let me show you why I am the greatest wizard of Telvanni." Neloth declares as he raises his hands and sees a giant fireball appear from the sky and destroy a ship. Brelyna summons atronachs on the enemy ships and attacks them.

"Hopefully the guards can deal with the other ships." Onmund said as he summons ice storms to sink the ships as he sees the guards board the other ships.

"Have no fear." Talvas said to the nord. "I hired a mercenary to lead the guards."

The Redoran guards see a squad of guards board their ship. "For the Tribunal!"

They charge at the defenders but two of them are struck by firebolts and fall to the ground. The rest see a dunmer in Chitin armor. "Traitor!"

"I am not religious. The only thing I worship is coin." Teldryn Sero unsheathes his elven sword and stabs the closest Redoran as the Hold guards charge as well. They take out the ship's soldiers and use it to ram into another ship. The mercenary yells at the guards next to him "To the next ship!"

Above Winterhold, there is the Shrine of Azura. Aranea Ienith looks down at Winterhold and sneers. This is the home of the one that stole her goddess' Azura's Star and turned it into The Black Star. Luckily Mephala's champion came to her and brought six Morag Tong assassins for revenge. The plan is once the fleet lands, the Morag Tong will use a pincer attack and slaughter everyone in the city. "How goes the fleet?"

She turns around and sees Motoko standing beside the assassins, in Daedric Armor with her katana by her side. "The fleet is getting closer to the shore though many ships are being destroyed."

"It doesn't matter. We just need to wait and we will end Winterhold." Motoko said with no care to either armies.

"So that is your plan." Keitaro says behind the ambushers. They are all shocked that the one they all hate is here.

"How did you find us?!" Motoko demands the High Elf who just shrugs. "It looks like someone was up here so I checked it out before I went to Winterhold."

Motoko becomes enraged at this male and orders her followers. "KILL HIM!"

Aranea and the Morag Tong summon and surround him in flames. He kneels in pain as Motoko keeps yelling. "KEEP BURNING HIM! LEAVE NOT EVEN ASH!"

Meanwhile, the fleet is firing boulders from catapults and they are hitting the city and college. "Get down!" Onmund tackles J'Zargo out of the way as a boulder almost hits them. Another boulder comes after them. The two mages close their eyes in fear as it gets closer. But they don't feel anything and see the giant rock destroyed. "You are supposed to be mages. I expect you to be brave next time."

Neloth steps forward with his hands showing large fireballs and fires them to turn the boulders into dust. The Nord and Khajiit mages nod and keep using spells to defend the college and destroy more ships.

Teldryn grabs the wheel of the ship he captured and rams into the flagship of Captain Veleth. The Redoran fleet leader pulls out his Elven Battleaxe and charges at the Dunmer mercenary. Teldryn battles the leader of the fleet and clashes with his dwarven sword.

Motoko looks happy seeing the male she hates on fire and the fleet are getting closer to shore. Soon Winterhold will burn and she will make Keitaro see the flames before she kills him. An explosion behind her makes her fall to the ground. She turns around and sees the male she hates stand with burn marks all over him and Morag Tong corpses surround him. "Bomb Curse."

He waves his hands and explosions appear all over the shrine. The blasts hit the statue of Azura and it fell to the ground. Motoko jumps away from it but Aranea was not as lucky and is crushed by her goddess. The fallen samurai glares at Keitaro and unstehes her Blade of Mephala. "I will kill you Keitaro! Once you are gone, I will return to my world and kill my foolish sister!"

"Because she loves a male?" The Arch-Mage questions to the shock of Motoko. "Shinobu told me she married someone and you can't stand that right?"

"She disgrace the Aoyama clan! She should've stayed a warrior! Not some housewife!"

Keitaro shakes his head at this man hater. "Love makes people do things that they can't imagine. The fact you can't understand it makes me realize you never love someone."

"Love is for the weak!" Motoko growls in disgust at the very concept. "I am above those worthless feelings! Once I return to Hina City, I will be rid of love by killing my disgrace of a sister!"

"Return? With this correct?" He holds a device that makes Motoko's eyes widen. "This is the device that the one known as Su created. This is your only way home. What a shame then."

*CRACK*

"It's broken." Keitaro crushes the device in his hands and drops the pieces to the ground. The Champion of Mephala goes from shock to enrage, knowing she cannot return now that the device is destroyed and Su is dead by her hands. She grips her katana and runs at Keitaro.

"YOU BASTARD!" She swings her sword but the Altmer dodges the strike and prepares another explosion but she swings again causing him to stop and dodge again. 'She is faster than before. The Blade must be making her stronger after she sacrifices her friends.'

"DIE! DIE!" She keeps yelling menacingly, what sanity she had has clearly left. She swings wildly but Keitaro keeps moving. Motoko raises her katana, ready to slash and kill the male she despises but she cannot move. She feels frozen in place. "Macro Curse. I can control anything living or dead. Even Champion's bodies and where they strike."

Motoko feels her hand move on it's own. She stabs herself in the stomach using her katana. "No!"

"You brought dishonor to your family. Death is all you deserve." Keitaro said as he releases the curse, Motoko Aoyoma falls to the ground and life leaves her eyes. She whispers her last words

"You are nothing."

"I was. Now I have the thing you hate." Keitaro counters as he looks down and sees Winterhold saved. The fleet is turning around and fleeing as he sees his friends celebrating while Brelyna looks up and smiles once she sees Keitaro. He takes off his Morokei and smiles as well. "Love."


(A week later)

The inhabitants of Solstheim cannot believe that the once mighty fleet of House Redoran lay destroyed and many ships barely good for sea anymore. First Councilor Morvayn steps out and feels sorrow seeing his ships. "What happened? You should've annihilated Winterhold!"

"Forgive us First Councilor. The mages there were too powerful. We didn't even make it to shore."

"What about Veleth? What happened to him?"

The guards look at eachother, not knowing what happened to him. A lone voice breaks the silence. "I can answer that."

Keitaro steps out of a small boat with Teldryn beside him and Captain Veleth tied up and thrown to the ground. The guards stand ready to defend their homes. "I am not an enemy but I would like to take you with your goddesses."

The Tribunal Temple is where the Dunmer of Raven Rock go to worship the three Daedric Princes and in some cases talk to them. Keitaro steps inside and waits for them as Teldryn was told to guard the entrance. "You must be brave to come here."

"Or just foolish."

The Tribunal of Azura, Boethiah and Mephala stand before him. Their auras show nothing but power. But he isn't intimidated. "I have come to stop this vendetta against me and negotiate."

Mephala looks down at this Altmer. "And just how do you expect for that to happen?"

"With these." He said as he tossed two items at Azura and Mephala which they caught. It is their artifacts: The Azura's Star and Ebony Blade. "You wanted them back? Well here you go and something extra. Look at your Star Azura."

She does and sees interesting souls inside. "These are the souls of those Hina girls."

"Yes. Naru, Mutsumi, Su, Kitsune, Old lady Hina and even Motoko are all in that soul gem. All for you to do as you wish." Keitaro assures which makes the two Daedra Princes smile at the idea. Motoko pleads to her master within the Star.

"Lady Mephala! I promise you that I will slay the male if you just revive me." She said but the Prince of Plots just laughs at her.

"Hahaha! Oh please, I just use your hatred to slay Keitaro. You are by far the worst champion I ever had. Quite useless if I'm being honest. I'm starting to like the elf more than you." Her confession turns Motoko to shock as Hina yells at the Altmer.

"Keitaro save me! I am your grandmother and you must obey-" Azura silences the old lady by touching the star. "Well I feel our vendetta is resolved. What about you Mephala?"

She nods but Boethiah is different. "Well I am not! I want you dead for ruining my tournament."

"Then how about we finish this here and now." The Arch-Mage said which makes the three goddessess curious. "You and me Boethiah. If you win then you can have my soul but if I beat you then you must fulfill a single request of mine and stop this war of ours."

The Daedric Prince of Treachery smiles at this challenge. "Now I know you have a deathwish. Fighting me is suicide."

"You are correct in this realm I can't beat you. But on neutral grounds, I have a chance." He said as he pulls out a Black Book and opens it. Tentacles appear from the book and grab both Keitaro and Boethiah and teleport them to Apocrypha. Leaving Mephala and Azura in their temple.

"So dear sister." Azura creates a portal to her realm but decides to ask Mephala before she leaves. "Do you think Keitaro has a chance?"

"We shall see. He is annoying but that Elf is different from his kind, he'll gladly fight and die for what he believes in. Not like those cowards in Summerset Isle."

(Apocrypha)

A single pillar is surrounded by green liquid and on top of it is a High Elf and goddess, facing eachother for this battle. The Prince of Treachery begins to feel weaken and looks up to see countless tendrils in the sky. "Hermaeus. This is your doing?"

"A Daedric Prince... In another's realm... Is no more powerful then a mortal... Let us see if you are truly strong..."

"Very well but know this." Boethiah points at Keitaro. "When I'm done with him..." She then points at her fellow Prince. "You're next dear brother."

The Altmer Arch-Mage prepares for battle, knowing that this will be his most challenging fight. "I didn't think it would be so soon but let me show you my Third Seal."
