A lot of you are most likely going to hate me after this chapter, but bear with me there is a method to my madness.
Warning: what you are about to read has Character death.
It was nearing dusk before Naruto was able to get the Companions together and organized in order to escape the Hold capital. Most of them were ready for a change in scenery due to the elves being in the city and forcing them to declining contracts do to the city wide lock down. It has the pissed Companions off to no end to knowing they could not do work for the people of Skyrim.
Even though they were all eager to watch the Thalmor run out of the city with their tail between their legs, some could not agree with Naruto's plan. In many of the people that were not in the Circle did not believe in Naruto's leadership abilities do to him being a kid. One of these people being Athis disagreed with the whole plan, saying it was too bold and to daring.
They all came around in the end of it all been agreed that the only way they'll get out of the capital was through the Thalmor. Of course there was the Underforge but by now been heavily guarded by elves.
"Everybody get geared up we're getting ready to go!" yelled Naruto over the sounds of people getting ready to leave. Even Naruto it felt sad and leave Jorrvaskr for who knows how long, he grew up here, he was trained here and if he had a choice in it, he would die here. That was all he could say about this place, and he and all the other Companions would miss Jorrvaskr dearly.
"Listen due to the severity of the Thalmor threat they would want captives to force me into the open, I don't understand why they want me so bad outside of being a Septim, but they do. I know that I won't give them the pleasure of getting me, I hope you will do the same. If you are surrounded; go down with a sword in your hands and as many elves as you can." said Naruto looking at the small group of people standing in the mead hall. They were ready, they had to be. "For Talos and the Nine, and for Ysgramor! Let's teach the damn elves what it means to piss off the Companion!"
As if on cue the Thalmor busted down the doors to Jorrvaskr only to meet cold hard steel. Naruto turned and faced the elves standing there at the door; slowly he drew his swords and coated them in charka, the blackened blades turned red when he did this. He waited till the Companions stood beside him before he made a move. He brought the blades up into a cross shape and closed his eyes.
"First Day, Red Crucifix!(1)" he yelled opening his eyes. The red charka shot out towards the Thalmor attackers and causing a massive explosion blowing the front part of the mead hall away along with a good part of the elves.
Every one there drew their weapons and charged into the middle of the elves. Naruto on the other hand pulled up his hood and walked out of the hall he stared down the hill only to see more Thalmor coming up it to their position.
"Kai!" he yelled making a one handed seal. It was then that the hillside explodes and sends chunks of dirt everywhere along with the Thalmor. He then threw his short sword down the hill at the elves and in a flash of light he was there with it in his hand ready to stab one of them in the back of the neck.
He didn't have time to kill the elf before an axe was brought by his head. He quickly moved it away from the blade, but still received a cut to the cheek. His eyes shot to the side as he looked at the hood, there a cut in his hood. The elf might have not seen his eyes, but he could see his mouth, what he saw a something that chilled him to the bone a smile so crazed it was criminal. That was the last thing he saw before a blade ended his life. Quickly spinning on his heels he blocked a sword swing making sparks fly off the blades as they clashed together. He could feel another elf coming at his from behind hoping to strike a blow while he was occupied with his comrade. Naruto did a back flipping kick that sent the elf that he was in a stalemate with flying up and quickly brought his foot down on the others head. He could feel the elf's head cave beneath the blow.
He landed just in time to roll to the side and avoid a volley of arrows that would have hit him in the chest. He looked up the hill towards Dragonsreach and saw a group of archers standing in a two line formation, with the front group crouched. He did a quick substitution a random log.
"Where the hell did that log come from!" yelled an elf. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down to see a blood covered black blade sticking out.
"I don't know, I don't question were the log comes from. I just know that should I ever be in need, the log will heed my call and offer me it's protection. For I am a child of the log." He told the dying elf. He kicked the elf off his blade and quickly sidestepped a sword swing; he turned and grabbed the elf for spinning him around and blocking a volley of arrows that would've killed him using the elf as a shield.
Once more he threw his sword, but at the archers this time. The spinning black blade of death cut an elf's head off before he flashed to it. When he landed he crouched low and held the blades in a reverse grip.
"Decapitation Circle! (2)" a field of black webs shot out of Naruto's feet making the surrounding elves freeze in place. In a blur of movements Naruto struck out left and right taking the heads of his enemies off their shoulder. He stood up and glanced down at the fighting that was going on in the streets of Whiterun. He saw Ria, Skjor, Athis, and Torvar in the market place surrounded on three sides by elves.
Kodlak, Vilkas, Farkas, Njada, and Aela were passing the Battle-Born's home pushing back the elves that stood in their way. Everything seemed to be on good so far, and he couldn't have planned it any better.
But little did they know things are about to change and not for the better.
(Market Place)
Skjor swung his two handed sword downward cutting an elf's chest open effectively killing him. He then back handed another causing an auditable cracking sound. Another came running at him almost ready to swing his sword downward to kill the Nord. Skjor wasn't able to bring his sword up in time to block the swing.
He watched as the sword came painstakingly close to him before something happened. It was sent flying back, is one good eye widened when he saw a red feathered arrow hit the elf square in the chest, sending him flying.
He looked over to Ria and nodded in thanks to her. She quickly drew and arrow but threw it hitting an elf in the eye before drawing another. She drew the bow back and dropped an elf on the roof of the Bannered Mare, she watched as he fell off the roof and landed on the steps of the inn. She looked at the surrounding elves and wondered how they were going to get out of this situation.
Torvar jumped back as an axe displaced the air where his head would have been. He brought the sword down and cut the elf's hand off before bringing it back up as fast as lighting and split his chest open. When the elf fell he saw another elf about fifty feet behind the one he killed, standing between the general goods store and the alchemy shop, with an arrow aimed at him.
He tried to move out of the way to avoid the shot, and he almost did but it still struck him in the left shoulder. He stumbled back dropping his sword; and glared at the elf before breaking the arrow off in him. He reached behind his back and drew a dagger. He held the blade in front of his face and let the sun light gleam off the polished steel.
With his left arm useless he had to make do with what he had. He sidestepped as a mace went down aiming to hit him in the head, but before the elf could bring it back up the dagger was crammed into the side of his head. Torvar kicked the elf off of the dagger and spun to cut another elf's throat. This was when another arrow hit him in the lower gut; he looked up at the elf and saw an elf dressed in black grin at him.
Athis saw his friend standing there looking at the elves, but something looked off about him. He parried a sword swing causing sparks to fly. His eyes unconsciously followed one of these sparks, and that's when he saw it. Blood. His eyes widened at the sight, he had to get to his friend, his comrade, their Companion. Thinking quickly he lashed out with is leg hitting the elf in the side caving in the ribs.
He then made a mad dash for Torvar in hopes he could save him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw black robes waving in the wind. There on the steps to the Bannered Mare was a Thalmor wizard with a ball of lighting in his hand. He looked at Torvar and saw him look over at him, and smile?
Torvar pulled out a small black ball from his pouch and stood there. He had gotten it from Red, it was a fail-safe if something ever went so wrong there was no hope. He crushed the ball in his hand and gave the surrounding elves a shit eating grin. "Mead City here comes Torvar!"
Boom. The surround area exploded as the contents of the small ball mixed together. It sent pellets flying in every direction tearing though the elves like a warm knife through butter, and the shock wave sent people flying back in force.
"Torvar!" yelled Athis right after the explosion happened. "You dumbass, I knew you weren't that good a fighter, but you always knew how to take as many people down as possible." He looked around at the mass blood shed that had occurred that moment and shook his head at the blood.
"Well now for a useless barbarian that man was able to take down a good amount of a superior race. I must find out how he done that so we can counter it in the future." Athis whirled around and raised his sword. There was an elf standing behind him dressed in a black hooded robes.
"I don't care how many of you damn elves there are, I'll kill you no matter what." the dark elf said raising his sword slightly.
"I would like to see you lowly people try." Said the elf summoning a sword.
"Gladly" replied the dark elf before charging the wizard. He swung the sword upwards forcing the high elf to backpedaled to keep from getting his head split like a melon, but he did receive a cut to the chin. He quickly turned the blade flat to block a swing from the summoned sword. The sparks from the swords were seen to all who were standing in the market.
Athis sidestepped the next swing from the elf and quickly threw his dagger he had on his belt hitting the high elf in wrist forcing his to drop his sword. "Not so tough now without your magical sword?"
"On the contrary, you just took out one arm, you forget I have two." Athis's eyes widened when he looked at the other hand. He had an electrical ball ready to hit him. He couldn't move as the ball touched him in the chest. "Chances are you are going to die from that hit, so lie down and die low life."
"hehe, didn't expect that." Athis grinned at the high elf " I guess I'll be seeing you soon then later Torvar." Slowly and with much pain he stood up his eyes glowed and opened "By the wrath of my ancestors I will kill you!" when he said this his whole body burst into flames and he charged the high elf with a renewed vigor. He brought the iron sword up sending a crescent flame into the elf's chest before spinning and cutting his head off.
Everyone watched in disbelief as the high elf's body burst into dark red flames. Athis grinned with satisfaction when he saw the body burn to ash. He couldn't stand up anymore and fell on one knee. His flames fell when this happened and his only life force being held soon faded. "Told you i would kill ya, damn high elves and their magic." He coughed up blood and fell back "For the Companions."
His body hit the ground. He laid there motionless as his life ended.
(outside the Battle-Borns house)
Kodlak brought his axe down on another elf before kicking it off the blade. This had been going for quite some time and he could see the group he was with was getting tired. Avoiding another swing from an elf he quickly hit the elf's head with the steel pommel of the axe getting a satisfying cracking sound signifying the broken neck of the elf.
Njada was bashing the head of an elf in with her shield. "These sons a bitches just keep on coming, their like cockroaches!" she yelled while bringing her sword down on another elf.
"By order of the Thalmor Embassy you are to drop your weapons and surrender!"
"Like hell that will happen." yelled a green blur as it barreled into the elf. The elves eyes widened when he saw the black blade come down and hit him in the chest. The Companions looked on as their youngest member struck down the elf his hood was down and face was covered in blood.
Naruto brought up his sword and deflected an arrow, but he didn't know the direction it was going was going to hit Aela. He watched in horror as his mom was struck in the arm by the arrow. He jumped over to her and knelled down beside her.
"That arrow had a strong poison on it make to kill you in a minute." said the elf holding the bow the arrow came from. He grinned at the idea of being able to kill one of the circle of the Companions.
Without even thinking Naruto pulled his mom's arm to his mouth and started sucking out the poison. He pulled out the poison, but he accidently swallowed some of the blood. The effects were almost instant. His eyes shot open and his body ached in pain, before the eyes of all the people watching his body grow to sizes that no twelve year old should be able to. His eyes went blood red and his body started growing honey brown fur.
The second he was fully grown he grabbed the nearest elf by the head and crushed it like an egg. He roared and ran towards the small group of elves that were between them and gates. Everyone was shocked that the fun blond that they had known for years was now this monster that was killing everything in his path.
"This is normal for anyone who goes through their first transformation into a werewolf." said Kodlak. Everyone looked to the old man like he was crazy "Till he learns to control the inner beast he is a danger to all of us."
"You mean to tell me you knew about the werewolf he held?!" questioned Njada.
"No, he just gotten the moon blood when he sucked out the poison from Aela."
"WHAT?"
"I will have to ask that you never tell anyone what you are about to hear. The Companions are moon born, those that attain the postion of the Circle that is. It has been this way for as long as our history has been." said Aela.
"That is not true Aela, it has only been like that for a few hundred years. Since one of the members traded his soul for power to Hircine. I never thought that Naruto of all people could become a werewolf. He already has a demon heritage as is." said Kodlak to the archer.
"Did Red tell him?" asked Farkas.
"He did a while ago."
They followed Naruto as he carved a bloodied path through the hold capital. There were elves everywhere, and the ones that didn't run were ripped to pieces and thrown everywhere.
Lucia ran into the gate and saw the werewolf killing every elf in sight. She charged up an ice spike in her hands and launched them at the beast. They both struck, but did little more then make the beast madder. She watched in horror as it turned to her and charged on all four, she couldn't move in time to avoid the strike.
Pain. That was all her body felt when he sank his claws into her gut. Fear. Fear of losing her life too soon.
It was at that moment that Naruto woke up from his feral rage. He watched as his only friend his age, the person he loved, a person so close to his heart that he felt her own pain. Be pulled off his recideing claws. He grabbed her and laid her down on his lap.
"Lucia! Stay with me, don't close your eyes!" he told her, somewhere he knew she was going to die. How did it come to this, how did he kill her.
"Naru.." she coughed up blood "I'm… sorry I … wish I could" her eyes were getting a glazed over look to them "be here… with you…I love you." Naruto couldn't take it anymore he had to do something or else he would lose her. He only knew of one thing that would work, but he didn't know if he should. It would be a commitment for eternity, but right now he had no other choice.
He brought her neck up to his mouth and quickly bit into it. Red charka exploded from him covering both of them.
The blast was blinding and the light covered both of them. When if finally died down everyone could see Naruto hugging Lucia and the holes in her gut were sealing up. Naruto gently laid her down on the ground and placed his fingers on her neck.
He felt it a pulse. It was feint, but a pulse none the less. A small smile found its way to the blonde's face as he watched her breathing come back to normal. All the companions were standing around watching the event.
He couldn't believe it they had won the first battle of the war. He picked up Lucia and ran out the gate trying to get away from the stench of blood lest he give in again. The other companions soon followed and made the trek to wherever they were going to go now.
Naruto couldn't take it anymore he had to leave the area and the group as a whole for a while till he learned to control the new beast he had inside of him. He grabbed one of the horses in the stall and placed Lucia on the sattle before getting on himself. Before anyone could stop him he made the horse gallop off into the night.
Aela watched them go, unable to stop them from going.
(Winterhold)
Red's head shot towards Whiterun. He could feel the power that only one person was capable of. Naruto. He couldn't believe that he could feel in here in Winterhold. He would have to find out what had happened latter. Right now he had to deal with the annoying gate keeper at the College.
"You are unable to use Magicka, yet you want entrance to the great College of Winterhold? Is this some kind of joke or something?" said Faralda.
"Yes though me and my associate can't use Magicka we can use a different form of energy allowing us to do more than you can do with Magicka alone." said Red to the altmer.
"Prove it, hit me with this so called other energy."
"Fine you asked for it." he made one hand seal "Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"
Instantly Faralda watched as the world she knew faded from view by a swirl of leaves. She looked out over the town and saw it on fire with every member of the college was cut down by people she feared the most. The imperial army.
"HELP ME!" yelled Savos Aren as he was cut down by the blade.
She gripped her head and screamed before going down in her knees. "Make it stop!"
"Kai." she heard and in an instant it was gone there in front of her stood the pair that approached the college about joining. "It wasn't real it was an illusion that came from the darkest part of your heart. Worst part is that was the lowest level illusion I can use."
"Get away from me, you can go in but stay the hell away from me." she mumbled before pulling her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth on the stone tile.
"Thank you for this." said Red before walking over the bridge. Each time he passed the lights they burned brighter and when they reached the gate it glowed before opening allowing them in. "Welcome to the College of Winterhold. My name is Mirabelle Ervine."
"I'm Red and this is Naomi where here to find information on a certain object of interest."
"Then your best bet would be to go and talk to Urag gro-Shub up in the library. He should know what you are looking for. When your done with that you should come find me."
"Ok, thank you." he told her before walking off "Um where is the liabry?"
"its in the main hall up the stairs to the right." she replied.
"Again thank you." he turned around and walked into the main hall before turning an heading up the stairs. Naomi was amazed by the way the building was made, never in her life had she seen something like the building she was in.
Red opened the door and walked into the library. His eyes widened as he saw the amount of books in the library, but what was out of place the most was the orc sitting behind the counter. "You Urag gro-Shub?"
"Yeah, I'm the keeper of the library. You disrespect me or my books I'll fry you like a fish."
"Dully noted, anyway I need to find an Elder Scroll. Anything you have on it would be highly appreciated."
"What in the name of Malacath do you need an Elder Scroll for?"
"To put it bluntly, I need to it to go home."
"Just get on a horse and start riding. You'll get there sometime."
"Try finding a way to open a time-space rift and heading there."
The orc's eyes went wide at what the man was implying. He had supposedly came from a different dimension and now wanted to go home, for him that was hard to believe. "Look I have some books on the Elder Scrolls, but they won't tell you where to find them."
Red watched the orc walk over and grab three books before coming back and placing them on the table in front of him. He picked Ruminations on the Elder Scrolls and opened it. his eye twitched as he saw what was wrote on the pages. "What the hell is this shit!?" he yelled.
"That book was written by an expert on the Elder Scrolls, Septimus Signus. He left about three years ago and went in to the ice fields. He said he had found something big up there."
Red placed the book on the counter and nodded in thanks to the orc before turning and leaving. This day just got a hell of a lot harder for him.
Thank you for reading. I will try to update sooner, so bear with me.
First Day, Red Crucifix: Kage level Kinjustu like what Red did, it has 21 stages that if used in all 21 ends the user's life. Takes massive charka to even use one of the 21. Decapitation Circle: A similar technique like Shadow Net Jutsu used by the Nara Clan. Forms a web at the bottom of the user's feet and traps all in the circle. A burst of charka forms a blade that shoots outwards from the user decapitating all in the circle.
