While Naruto and Lucia were pissing off the elves, Red was enjoying a drink at the Bannered Mare. He was having a good time drinking the mead that they severed that the tavern. It wasn't as good as the mead hall, but it would do. He took another swig of the mead and looked over to the man in the corner. He had been sitting there for the past hour downing bottle of mead after mead and had yet to get close to drunk. Red knew that he could do it just because of who he was, but he didn't feel like it tonight.
But he did feel like earning a few Septim's, so he got up and went over to the man. "You seem like you can hold you liquor, I bet you 100 Septim's that I can out drink you." The man looked up at the man and pulled back his hood.
"You're on." he told him "Name's Sam by the way."
"Red."
Red pulled out a seat and sit down facing the man. He felt something off about the man, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just wanted the gold. "Hulda bring me my good stuff!" yelled Sam. The lady then grabbed a crate under the counter and quickly walked over to the pair. The people got around the table wanting to see a good drinking contest between two heavyweights as they called them. Up to date everyone who has challenged Sam has lost, but Red as they all knew was no pushover.
Hulda set the crate in the middle of the two men then stepped back and watched. Both of the men then picked up a bottle and knocked it back. They both chugged and slammed the bottle down at the same time. "Damn what's in this stuff?" asked Red before picking up another bottle and drinking it.
Once again they both slammed the bottles down at the same time and nodded to each other. "the best stuff in all of Tamriel." Sam said picking up another bottle. The onlookers were astounded as they had seen what kind of stuff the man drank, and Red was keeping up with him.
Red grabbed another bottle and swiftly drank it, before picking up another and chugging it. Sam was amazed at what he saw, the first mortal that could hold immortal liquor. They both then grabbed the last bottles and knocked it back as well. Sam fell over backwards in his chair and dropped the bottle and Red finished his and slammed it down.
"Lookeses likes meees winss Gam." slurred Red standing up and reaching across the table and grabbed Sam's bottle and drank it. He then just walked off and started back up to the mead hall. He didn't make it.
"Oi you in the armor, I need you to come with me for the night, for being drunk in public." said a guard walking up to Red and grabbing his shoulder. Red just looked back at the man, and… smiled.
"Ya said somezthings tooese me?" he mumbled "me not ins a verry goods mood to puts upses with ye bullshits." Red opened his hand and formed a black ball in it before allowing it to go off and blowing the man away. Red lowered his head and started chuckling it then turned into full blown laughter before going into his fox mode. This was the sight the Whiterun garrison arrived to see, a crazed laughing red fox. The rest of the hour was filled with black rays and human parts raining down.
(next morning)
Red awoke with a pounding head and a major memory gap. The last thing he remembered was challenging Sam to a drinking contest. 'What the hell happened last night?' he mused to himself but was quickly brought out of his musing when something moved beside him. He looked over to see Aela under the blankets with him. Two and two equaled trouble for him when Naruto returned if he found out about what he thought he done with the kit's adopted mom.
"He-he top of the morning to you lad." said someone to his right. Red turned so quickly that his back popped in a hundred different places.
"shit shit shit shit, my back!" yelled Red gabbing his back. He glanced at the man after he got over the pain. The man was dressed in half purple colored clothes, with a top hat on and a… 'is that a piece of cheese he's eating?'
"I must say for a mortal you do know how to cause some mass mayhem and you are also certifiably insane. I am surprised to see that you are even still here after taking on half the Whiterun guard, but then again everyone needs some madness in their life." he told Red.
"First off you insane jester from hell, I'm not a mortal so don't even compare me to those walking sacks of jerky. Second off just who in the name of Hermarus Mara are you?" asked Red getting agitated with the man.
"You can call me Sue, you can call me Insane, but if you want me to cut off your tail and skip rope with it you can call me Late for Dinner, speaking of which when is dinner?" Red just had to face palm at the man "A for my real name it's Sherogorath, prince of madness and you my fox friend… have some very good cheese here." he told Red taking another bite of cheese that apperared from thin air. (A.N: author even face palms at this)
"Kami help me, the damn deadra are here." mumbled Red putting some clothes on. To his surprise Aela had yet to wake up. He didn't pay any mind to that because he was glad that he didn't explain to the huntress. "So what's your business here?"
"We're here to make you an offer." said a new voice. Red turned and saw a man standing there, the man was dressed in black and carried a dagger on his side.
"Sam I swear to kami I'm going to beat the shit out of you." growled Red balling up his fist and walking over to him. Then it hit him. "Wait we?"
"Yes we, me and Shero here." said Sam motioning to the cheese eating loon "By the way it's not Sam, my name is Sanguine."
"Kami help me, I swear if you two piss me off in any way shape or form. I will skip rope with your entrails." Red told them "Now what in the name of all things unholy are two of the Daedric princes doing here?"
"We're here to defy Akatosh, though we may be what mortals call unholy, minus our sister Meridia, we are unable to stop his first born from destroying the world who is just as unholy." said Sanguine.
"And?"
"Well this is where you come in; you are directly connected to the last Dragonborn. There is a prophecy that the first born of Akatosh battles the last of a line of emperors." he saw Red's eyes widen "You know who were talking about. He must be ready for what is to come. Me and Shero here will give him support, but we must do it in a way that the Divines don't know lest we bring a war that had never been seen to the likes of men before."
"Kami help us." mumbled Red who sat down on the bed and held his head "What can I do."
"Get him to seek us out. You need to seek out the elder scroll of the Dragon to help him train for what is to come. Outside of that, that's all; he will have to do something for us to make it look like we had given him our favor." he turned and looked towards Shero. "We're leaving."
"Aww I just got down to the elder Swiss cheese can we stay longer?"
"No we're leaving now." he said before fading out of sight. Shero sighed and stuffed his pockets with cheese before doing the same.
"You can get up now I know you were listening to every word we said." Red said grinning while the sounds of blankets moving could be heard. He looked back and saw Aela looking up at him. Her hair was messed up and she gave off a glow that he could see. "Wild night?"
"With you, hmm hard to say." she said making him look sad "I kidding that was the best night I've had in years."
"Glad I could please you. But you do know I was off my rocker drunk?"
She started laughing and crawled up behind him and warped her arms around him. "Tell that to the guard." He turned and gave her a confused look. "Your see when you head out today. By the way you're really good in bed."
Red smiled and looked towards her "I've had years of practice." He then got up and grabbed his armor and sword "I'm leaving today for a while when you see Naruto again tell him I'll see him some time or another." he told her tightening the last strap on his armor and clipping his sword to his belt.
Aela got up too and started getting dressed when he walked out the door. Her mind was going a hundred miles an hour as to what had happened last night. The wolf inside of her dominated her human instincts to run, and she was glad she had not because he was radiating power that she had never felt before in her life.
(Red)
When Red walked out the door it seemed as if the whole group gave him looks. Some were filled with fear of getting castrated, others were in awe at him being so lucky, while most of the circle just smirked minus Kodlak and the old man just looked indifferent. Red nodded and walked past them before turning and walking up the stairs to get some food.
He looked around the hall and saw some of the new bloods drinking mead and talking. They didn't seem to pay much attention to him as he walked over and grabbed a leather satchel and filling it up with bread and mead.
"Seems that the guards are still looking for the demonic fox that tore apart the whole market district." said Ria.
"Yeah rumor has it that he killed half of the whole garrison before leaving." replied Njada.
It didn't take long for Red to do the math and come up with the fact that he had destroyed the town. Red fox equal Kyūbi, being capable of mass destruction also Kyūbi, what the two deadra were talking about now made since. He paled at what he had done in the time he was drunk.
He quickly left not wanting to hear any more of the conversation. Walking out of Jorrvaskr he looked towards the market hoping to see they were joking, but they weren't. The whole side of the wall leading to the market was blown apart and he could see the destruction left behind, and oddly enough the only building left unscathed was the Bannered Mare. The alchemy shop was roofless and the general goods store, wait what general goods store? 'Poor Belethor, wait what am I saying? That stuck up Breton can go with Shero to 123 cheese head lane, then I might feel a little sorry for him.'
Once more he paled and quickly walked away not wanting to see any more. He walked down the stairs and passed the shrine to Talos, but oddly enough the man wasn't preaching today. He didn't know if he should thank Kami or take that as a bad sign. He didn't ponder it too much as he needed to be somewhere real fast, and loose his shadow he picked up. Sighing he did a quick biju shunshin to try and get rid of her, but failed when he arrived only to see her standing there.
"You know you should be in bed, but no you come and follow me to Dragonsreach." he told Naomi "Besides how did you know where I was going?"
He walked in and nodded to the guards there before she answered "There was some kind of vial of red stuff beside my bed, and I thought it was water. When I drank it I felt the bones and other injuries heal. As to your second, I was a sensor when I was in the group that you killed. That and it's not hard to follow you charka." The guards looked at her confused due to the fact that they couldn't understand her, and the same went for her.
The pair walked up the stairs and saw a small group of people in front of the yarl. This was common so he didn't pay much attention to them as he went into the mages quarters. Farengar was standing there looking over the maps and making notes, but that was before he noticed Red and Naomi and quickly put the book up.
"So what can I help you two with today?" Farengar asked them. Red felt as if something was off with the way the man asked compared to most days.
"I need you help locating an Elder Scroll." Red saw the mages eyes widen in surprise before he noticed them move to something behind him.
"I believe we all would like to know where this Elder scroll is you seem to know about Farengar." the pair turned to see the people that were standing with the yarl standing behind him.
"Thalmor." Red growled "Now what in the name of oblivion are you gay elves doing here?"
"What we do is our own business. You would do well to keep you nose out of it if you want to keep it."
"Sure how bout you hop off the dildo of broken dreams and get on the train of real life." said Red making the elves prepare for a fight at the command of their leader.
"You should hold you tongue before we kill you."
They were surprised to hear laughing at the comment. Red looked up and allowed his more animalistic side to come out for the fear factor. "You insolent whelps think that you can kill me, hell I could have killed all of you at the first battle you had with the Empire and still remained unharmed, but then again I'm only at one ninth of my full power. Hell I bet my student Naruto could kill you all in a less amount of time then me since he has my other eight ninths of power in him."
Two of the three Thalmor had heard enough and charged Red. One raised his sword and swung downwards. Red just side stepped and drove his clawed hand through the elf and ripped his heart out the other side. The other elf hit Red in the face with a fire spell, but even that didn't faze him.
"Tenth Day, Blood Rain" Red yelled while making eye contact with the elf. His eyes widened for a second before his whole body blew apart leaving only blood. "Be thankful that I can only use that one time in a day, and also be thankful that it was only the tenth day and not the twenty first."
"Hmm you seem to have great power in you, too bad that you have now made an enemy of the Thalmor on two accounts, one that you have trained this Naruto Septim as he told our team at Bleak Falls and two you have power and therefore must die to keep balance in the name of justice, but for now you have won next time you will die." said the wizard before turning and leaving.
Red looked around and saw that he had given the room a new paint job, and he didn't think that would go over very well. He sighed and looked back towards Farengar to see if he was ok. 'It seems that the mage is shaken, but not stirred.' Naomi looked unfazed to what had happened. 'Probably due to her training.'
"I must ask, did that Thalmor say Naruto was a Septim?" Red looked over to the mage and nodded.
"The blood runs in his veins, his great grandfather, Martian, was found during the reign of the second Hokage." Red looked away for a second "He carries the world on his shoulder, and it was once told to us that the Child of Prophecy will come in the form of a man that carries the power to save or destroy the world."
"Dragonborn." mumbled Farengar. He walked over to the book he was writing in and picked it up "There is a nord prophecy that the last of the Dragonborn, which is a mortal with the blood of the dragon, that will either side with the dragons king Alduin or save the world from destruction." he opened the book to a page and pointed to a line "Here is the known locations of the dragons that were killed hundreds of years ago, and Naruto is working to get a more detailed map of sites."
"That's nice to know and all, but how does this help me find the Elder Scroll of the Dragon?"
"Well now, um, it doesn't. your best bet is to head to the Collage in Winterhold and see if there is a lead there."
"Great more crazed mages and their fancy magic. Why can't you apes learn how to use charka, oh that's right…" he looked up to the ceiling "BECAUSE YOU FUCKING SUCK AKATOSH!"
(Heaven or whatever the Divines like to stay in)
Akatosh held up his middle finger. "Ha-ha you can't touch me!"
(Nirn)
Red sighed and walked off "Thanks for the info" 'even if it didn't help.' Naomi followed him out. He nodded to the yarl and went down the stairs before leaving the building.
"Um what was that all about in there, I couldn't understand a word you or the other people said." Red looked over his shoulder and sighed once more.
"By Kami I need one of Sanguine's drinks, anyway those three that were in there were part of a group called the Thalmor, basically they run the empire after the White Gold Concordat. They think that the world should bow down to them and obey their every wish. As for what I was talking about later with Farengar was were looking for an item called the Elder Scroll. We need to help train Naruto."
"Why he seems strong enough."
"War is coming." said Red speeding up and not leaving any room for more talk.
(Naruto and Lucia after pissing off the Thalmor)
Naruto and Lucia were watching the elves leave with their tails between their legs. They had tried to resist the pair, but that was put to rest as soon as it rose with an arrow to the knee of Elenwen. She won't be walking for a few months giving him some breathing room. He nodded to Tiber and saw the ghost get the meaning and faded from sight, he then turned and walked in to the chamber.
"I'm surprised that you can cast apprentice level spells with little to no trouble." Lucia looked up and saw Naruto smiling at her "hell it takes me a little bit to get the concept of novice level spells."
"It comes to me naturally for some reason, and I can cast higher level spells with no problem." Naruto's eyes grew wide, how could she do that with little to no training?
They then paid more attention to the world around them. It was a cave with a small stream of water coming down the middle. At the far end of the cave were a set of stairs leading up to a wall and a throne of some kind. From where he stood he could see the tablet at the far end of the room on a table.
"Lucia be ready for anything, something doesn't feel right about this." he heard low got ya in return and drew one of his swords and got flames ready in the other. He slowly started walking towards the stairs, and it wasn't long before a sound was heard to his right. Spinning on a Septim he launched a torrent of flames at the… 'Bats?! Oh well I do enjoy it well done.'
Lucia smirked at him and shook her head, she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Naruto had cooked bats to be well done, harmless little bats.
Her backside felt weird, almost as if something was crawling up it. Slowly she looked over her shoulder only to see a sight that would give her nightmares for years to come, a black… ugly… pig faced… monster. "AHHHH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" she yelled running back in fourth in front of Naruto.
He shrugged and grabbed the bat as she ran by and held it by its feet upside down. "What you so scared of, it's just a little bat." Instantly the KI in the room went from zero to deadly, and an angry Lucia was facing the bat and Naruto.
"A Little bat, he says, a little bat," she held up her right hand and charged a massive overcharged fireball "TRY A DEAD LITTLE BAT!" Naruto let go of the bat and it flew away as soon the spell was released leaving Naruto to deal with the problem.
Boom.
The whole cave rocked and a black smoke covered figure was sent flying across the room. It hit the wall leaving an indent there as Naruto fell face first out of the hole. Lucia realizing what she had just done quickly ran over to him worried about him.
"Um did I miss something?" Tiber asked fazing into existence. Naruto started coughing up smoke and slowly tried to get on his knees. Key word being tried.
"Worst (cough) time to get (cough) caught in a damn fireball." he mumbled before falling back down onto the floor. Tiber shook his head and walked forward to the pair. Lucia had gotten her spell healing hands ready and started to heal Naruto, hopping the hit would make him forget the whole ordeal.
A few minutes later Naruto had been healed enough to get up and walk around. He noticed Tiber standing there almost as if waiting for something. Then it hit him, he had told Tiber to follow the elves out before coming into the chamber.
"Did they leave like had intended them to?" he asked while allowing Lucia to put a bandage on his burnt arm.
"Yes they left, but the leader told one of them to wait for you and Lucia to come out. I took care of the problem in the most painful of ways. The screams caused the other two to quickly leave." Naruto nodded and started walking off towards the stairs slowly. "Akatosh is calling me so I have to go, be careful you now have powerful enemies." after saying that he faded from sight for the last time.
"Come on we need to get the tablet and get out of here." Naruto told Lucia and walked off. She quickly walked off behind him. The pair reached the bottom of the stairs he pulled his swords and slowly walked up them. The throne that was there held a drauger looking at the tablet and an old sword beside him. Naruto threw the smaller blade and hit it right in the neck causing it's eyes to light up for a moment before going black again.
"It seems that he wasn't truly dead. This thing would have given us trouble had I not done that." Naruto said walking up and pulling out the blade, he didn't notice the eyes glow blue for a second and turned around.
Lucia was looking at the tablet and heard what Naruto had said. She turned a saw him standing there looking at the odd wall. There was a click of his sword; it seemed that that was the start of a fight. The drauger's eyes went bright blue and he grabbed the sword Naruto didn't see this. Lucia did on the other hand and charged two ice spikes and sent them at the pair. Naruto's eyes went wide as he saw this and froze, but when the spikes didn't hit him he turned to see what they had hit. The drauger eyes went back to black and dark blood pooled around it's feet. It stood there holding the sword and not moving with two spikes in it's chest.
"I owe you one, there for a second I thought you had lost it, but thanks." he mumbled in disbelief.
"I won't lose you. That's why I learned these spells to protect both of us."
Naruto nodded and pushed the drauger and watched it fall off the platform and into the creek below. He closed his eyes for a second and listened to the voices in his head. A slow chanting had been coming and it seemed to come from the wall. He walked over to the wall and read the engraving.
'the world is at war, the glow of fire is seen, we are losing this war, death is what awaits'
Naruto then glanced at the book the ancient Nord was holding. It was part of puzzle, how he didn't know, but he knew it was. He pulled his storage scroll and sealed the book up for latter before doing the same for the tablet. "We can't go out the front; chances are the Thalmor are out there waiting for us. If what I know about these ruins is true then there should be a balcony that the priest's used for their sermons. From here I can use the seals I got from dad and get us down."
"Okay lets go quickly I don't want to spend any more time here then needed, to many bad memories." at that they both started walking off down a passage. It was dimly lit by the embers of the natural gas coals, but he could still see a door off at the end of the hall. Lucia was happy to be out of there and quickly ran towards the door. There she grabbed the bar and flung it open. Naruto walked up beside her and grabbed one side of the door and pulled it open allowing them out.
Naruto pulled one of his stars and looked over to Lucia "Let get back to Whiterun." she nodded and gabbed his hand before he threw the star. A half second later they disappeared in a bright flash.
(Red and Naomi)
Red might have lived in Skyrim, but he sure as hell didn't like the cold. Right now it was freezing. They had left Whiterun midday, and used the horses that the Companions had in the stables for when they needed to go on far away calls. He had enough food to get to the collage and water wasn't a need due to the snow all around.
"Say I have a question." Naomi chimed.
"Shoot."
"If it's at all possible, when can I learn the local language, and how did you learn it?"
"Well is you know the story of the 4th besting the great Kyūbi, well he did and he didn't. He bested the hypnotized me, but not the real me."
"Wait what?"
"Wait until I'm finished before you start a bombardment of questions. Anyway there was a man who controlled me to attack Kohana. He bested me along with his wife at the cost of both of their life by sealing me into their son Naruto, who is the heir to the Septim dynasty here. If you were part of the group I think you were in you should know his grandfather Martin. Mianto knew that the village would not agree to let Naruto be known as a hero for, so he sent us here. He didn't know that it took while for me to be fully locked away and the space tear would pull me out of it. Though it would take away eight ninths of my full power and leave it In Naruto. He is most likely the most powerful being in the whole world and just as deadly, so even if you were to best him, cut off his arms, burn is body, do whatever you want to him, as long as his heart remains you still lose.
Right now I need to train him for more combat, and the Elder Scroll is able to do the same as his father. From there we can go back to Kohana and he can train."
"Alright he come the questions, how were you controlled, what is the Septim dynasty, when can you teach me the language?"
Red had forgotten to tell her how he learned the local tongue. "Ok here were go. There are only three blood lines that can control me, the Sharingan, the Sinju, and the Rinnengan, and I was controlled by a man with the Sharingan. The next question is that Naruto is the last of the Septim's, and there for the heir to the throne of the Imperial Empire that at one point controlled all of Tamriel. And I learned the tongue by a jutsu that the Biju know, Naruto learned by growing up here, and you can learn when we go back to Kohana."
Naomi cheered up and nodded. She had wanted to get back to Kohana just so she could interact with the people there. Though there were some things that she wasn't looking forward to, one being ROOT, and two Danzo.
She was pulled out of her musings when an arrow went by her face. She looked in front of them and saw a group of people standing there, two holding bows while the others held worn out swords.
"Hand over all of your money and the girl, or you die." said a man stepping forward. Red looked at the men and started to chuckle. "What the hell so funny?"
"That you and your rag tag bunch of idiots could possibly kill either of us." Red yelled at the group. "Hell, you don't even look like you could fight your way out of a sack of potatoes!" Red got off his horse and drew his two hand.
The group backed up at sight of the blade. Everyone in the country of Skyrim knew the blade, even these people. "Y-your Red the Bloody!" yelled the man making everyone there lower their weapons, so not the invoke the anger of the most dangerous Companion.
"Well I guess that leaving mincemeat of my opponents gave me that rep." Red gave an unnerving grin "and I might be able to add a few more that is if you attack."
"No w-w-we're leaving now!" he said and dropped his weapon and ran.
Red and Naomi just laughed. Red due to the fact that he had never seen a man just drop his sword without a care and run, and Naomi because she had never seen a man without charka run so fast. Still laughing he sheathed his sword and climbed back on his horse and rode on.
And cut, ok people first off don't kill me for updating late; I have a reason for that. One its bear hunting season and this is the time of year I'm off school all month and go running through the woods chasing dog who are chasing the bear. Anyway I typed this up and posted it to let you know I'm not dead (yet) and that I will have a new chapter up after Christmas.
Tenth Day, Blood Rain - it's a once a day attack that takes massive amounts of charka. As it said there are only twenty one days in this move, and he can only use it twenty one times, though it's not always the same effect, nor is it Blood Rain. Highly dangerous and very costly. Short range to mid. SSS ranked.
"Life is a part of death, and death is just the beginning" me
