Chapter Seven
The Battle of Vivec
The Siege, Day OneThe Imperial Troops marched towards Vivec. Hlaalu guards from the Hlaalu district (The Balmora area) had come when they received the message from the surviving villagers who had escaped the Battle of Ebonheart. The Hlaalu Canton was totally abandoned, so the guards were able to March in. When they reached the Redoran Canton, the onslaught begun. The Ordinators had placed Archers on the Second Level of the Canton, who fired at any Imperials who had charged at the Canton. The Imperials countered by the Imperial Archers, who shot at the Tribunal Archers. Tribunal Corpses fell from the second level, and the crystal clear water turned bloody red.
The Imperial Archers were now able to concentrate on taking out the Ordinators who were charging at them. As the Ordinators reached the second line, the Archers fired and the Ordinators fell, the blood flew out.
At the Tent of Edwin Garethbert
An intelligence agent rushed in from the field, saying "We have a report. The Enemy Leader is Lord Ber Indoril, an Elite Ordinator so devout to the Tribunal and House Indoril he changed his name to that of Lord Nerevar. He is the most fanatic thing we've ever dealt with."
"What do you mean?" Said Garethbert.
"I mean that he and the Elite Ordinatiors, as well as his inner circle plan on leaving Vivec."
"So?"
"He has created a bomb that would not only destroy Vivec and Ebonheart, but could reach as far North as Balmora."
"You can't be serious. There has not been anything that destructive since the Empire attempted to conquer that civilization on the Island off Summerset. Everything on the Island was destroyed, including the Island."
"Our Intelligence has totally confirmed it. Only he and his inner circle know how to activate and deactivate it."
"Is it active yet?"
"No, but we believe it in the Palace of Vivec. If it is set off, almost all-Imperial presence on Vvardenfell will be annihilated."
"We must stop it then. I have a question for you."
"Sir."
"What is Imperil Presence on the Mainland?"
"Non-existent."
"Fine. Very well, what is our progress on the attack of the Redoran Canton?"
"We are winning, but they had already extracted Redoran Nobles, and we believe they have done it with the Telvanni Nobles."
"Where does the Foreign Quarter stand?"
"The Ordinators have locked it down, but its civilians are on our side. In other words, they have hold over a whole town of people."
At the SiegeThe Ordinators were now fleeing into the Arena Canton. It appeared that every Canton had Archers on the Second Level. The Field Commander was reluctant about entering the Arena Canton, because it was in the Center of Vivec, and they could be surrounded, but his forces charged. Blood was spilt all over the once Glamorous Redoran Canton, and the Empire Commenced the Siege of the Arena. The Guards and Ordinators struggled.
The Palace of VivecBer and his Inner Circle surrounded the bomb. Ber said "This bomb shall go off in two days. I plan on being in Solstheim by then."
"Yes My Lord." Said One of His Inner Circle Members.
"Interesting Plan." Said a Hooded Figure who had just appeared in the room.
"Who are you?" Said Ber.
"I am Draonor Uras." Said the Figure.
"Lord Uras died at the Battle of Ebonheart." Said Ber.
"He did die…and the Liche Draonor Uras was born." Said Draonor as he removed his hood. "I like your plan, but I'm changing it."
"You no longer have power here!" Shouted Ber.
"Really?" Said Draonor as he lifted a finger, launching a bolt of Lightning out of it, striking down Ber, causing him to bleed to death. "Does anyone else agree with his statement?"
His inner circle all cowered with fear. He laughed at this to himself. He commanded, "This bomb does not go off until I say so. It will explode in four days. Who was second in charge?"
"I was, sir." Said one of the people.
"Good. You're in charge while I'm gone. If anything goes wrong, I'll have your head on my desk." (Yes, I stole the phrase from Nute Gunray from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones)

"About Twenty-Five Thousand Soldiers."

That's Chapter Seven, Please Read and Review.
And several things of this story are based on things aside from Morrowind. I would like to credit them now.
Empress Eva Septim is based somewhat upon Eva Perón (Evita).
The name Mina, while from Dracula, is actually a parody of Nina Myers from 24 (The Best Show on TV), whom was also a traitor.
The Mored and the Mages working with them are based on a book I read from awhile ago.
The Concept of becoming a Liche is based on the Dungeons and Dragons concept.
Mina becomes almost becomes a Vampire in Dracula. In this she, may or may not (I'm not going to tell) become one.
The Bomb concept is a parody of "24" Season 2, where a Nuclear bomb could detonate in L.A.
The Real Time Concept in this chapter is used on 24. However, it is used more like it is in Dracula.
The Leaders of the Ordinators are like the Separatist Leaders from Star Wars.
Just thought you'd like to know! Anyway, Please Read and Review.
