Yol Jun Kriid sat in his office and went through the reports of his different agents. Thought he did notice something. He rose his head from the current papers and already saw his trusted right hand, Silia standing there with a book in her hands.

"I assume you already noticed my lord?" asked the white Weavile

The Dovah in the body of a Charmeleon nodded "Yes. The reports from the criminal undergrounds are incomplete. And judging that you already knew, I assume you already put steps into that mystery?"

"Yes, my lord" replied the ice type "From what the investigation could gather, somebody is working towards a purge of the criminal elements of Tamriel. Which of course means that our agents in those circles are caught in it as well. So far only one survivor was found from the hit location, but his state didn't allow any interviews."

Yol considered his options and asks "Any Patterns found?"

"Yes" nodded Sildia "From what our agents were able to investigate, the next hit would be our network in Cyrodil."

Yol thought for a moment and then notes "Get a ride to Cyrodil ready in Morrowind."

The Weavile looked in surprise "sir... you wish to go there by yourself?"

"Yes" he nodded and stood up "I want to see who would work on such a purge. And given the work they shown, I am assuming they will properly try to go things further in Cyrodil.

Yol with his companions the Khajiit Chris and the Ninetails Kiki were moving through a secret passage underneath of the city of Skimgrad.

As they moved, Chris wondered "Who knew that something like that was down here..."

"I would have" growled Yol annoyed "IF somebody wouldn't have killed my agents before they could report about a new secret base down here. No respect for secret intelligence networks these days..." and they reached a door, and he didn't bother to be subtle at this point. Or check if it open.

Instead, he took a breath and shouts "FUS RUH DOH!" and the unrelenting force tore the door out of the hinges into a large black room with multiple tables and chairs forming a ring around a large map painted on the ground showing Tamriel.

Moving closer he looked down on the map. "Looks like somebody wanted to make their own secret network across the continent..." and sniffs the air "Blood... and a creature I don't recognize" and narrows his eyes "I don't like it."

"This is bad, that's for sure..." Kiki commented while looking around.

"Let's search this place" ordered the dragon in Pokémon skin and they went towards the direction of where the blood scent is coming, not caring about any of the doors that came into their way.

At reaching their destination only found a corpse, alongside what seemed a pair of empty armours lying on the ground with marks of having been damaged.

Then the Ninetails noted how the corpse was holding a paper on his hand, with a weird symbol of it: a horned skull with dragon wings.

"Never saw this symbol before." Kiki commented, showing it to Yol. "You know it?"

He took it and studied it carefully but shook his head "No. I don't know it. Never saw one like that in the millennia I lived so far" and rubs his chin "Thought in the libraries are thousands of symbols I never truly came around to study or weren't worth my attention."

Kiki scratched her head, but then Chris noted something resting under a table: a red feather.

"Is it possible that a Talonflame was here?" Chris said as he took the feather.

"Forget it." Kiki said, looking at the feather he had in hand. "They're not that red. And too large to be the feather of a Blaziken." As she pointed, that feather was much redder than any other Pokémon they could know.

"If Vulcano Harpies didn't die out 5000 years ago, I would have guessed one of them" admits Yol Jun Kriid, his mind racing about every possibility. Including how likely it was that a population of those could be surviving outside of anybody's attention. "But the feather has a slight whiff of the scent I picked up."

"So, the feather is owned by whoever got here." Chris said.

"Think so," and handed her the feather "Let's keep following the trail. If we end up outside, you take over." and followed the trail of death.

The three began to follow the trace and trail of death until getting to the exterior. Once there, Chris' ears perked and she whispered "In the bushes nearby is somebody".

"Detain and drag him here" ordered the purple male. The Khajiit nodded and left... first at a different location to move outside of any normal measure of visible view or hearing range to sneak up from behind the bush... and then pounces. Yol and Kiki heard some screaming as Chris came back, dragging along a dark elf. Clothes wise properly a poacher.

Yol moved forward and his yellow eyes looked at the elf. Once the elf saw the eyes himself, his eyes widened. He felt like he was judged by a higher being.

"Who are you?" demands the Charmeleon "And why do you need to hide in those bushes?"

"I-I was just passing here when I saw it!" The dark elf said. "Strange monsters coming from that door running!"

"And you saw if somebody followed them?" Kiki asked him.

"Y-yes! It was something like a crow in human form with red feathers!" He said trembling.

"There was something unique about that creature?" Chris asked.

"Yes. Sh-she had a scar on her left eye, a cross scar above her bosom, and a tattoo of a woman in a ring of fire. That's all I saw of her!" He said, raising his hands in defence.

"Wait, a she?" Chris asked. "A female made all this mess?" He signalled to the entrance.

Both Kiki and Yol looked at Chris "Uhm... Chris" began the Ninetails "You are aware that I can make a bigger and bloodier mess as what we saw in there?"

"Yeah but... you saw the mess inside there? No ordinary female can do something like that, and you know that." Chris said.

"Enough!" Yol interrupted both of them, causing them to stiff up. Then he turns back to the elf "In which direction did the woman leave?"

He quickly pointed his hand to a direction, out of the city.

"Good! Now leave and forget to have EVER seen anything! Or you would prefer the black hand after you than what I would send after you!" he growled to him and kicked him away.

Then he looks at Chris "Track her!" to which the huntress nodded and moves towards the direction pointed and starts searching for any tracks her target left behind to follow a trail, but after following the trail for a few meters he had to stop.

"Sorry master." He said as he turned around. "I can't continue following the track from here."

"And why's that?" Kiki asked.

"Because we got a bird that uses her brain with mixed results. Smart to fly right away to shake away tracking." then he turns towards the city "But not smart enough to take enough distance to reduce the chances of being seen. And given recent history, guards ARE watching out for anything unusual flying." and he looks at Kiki and Chris "Contact our agents in the city guard. I want to know if anybody has seen something red flying and in which direction."

Both of them nodded and ran back to the city. After a few minutes, the two came back to him.

"Good news! The guards seemed to have spotted a red flying creature going to the north-East." Kiki said.

"North-East?" Yol asked thoughtfully. "But in that direction is the Imperial City. No way she could simply walk in there. She would stand out like a snow troll in-" he stopped himself "Actually... if she manages to disguise herself as a different coloured Talonflame, she could hide easily. The new emperor hired roughly two hundred of them as guards. Many families that have at least one Talonflame member moved there as a result."

"Great, looking for the one we're looking for will be like looking for a needle in a haystack." She spoke.

"The scars. They are quite distinct and unless she hides them, they are easy to spot." countered Chris "And crossed scars are quite distinct so people would talk about that one. I bet our agents among the city guards can point out where she might be."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kiki said.

Later in the Imperial City

Within the King and Queen Tavern of the Elven Gardens District within the Imperial city a red, slightly odd looking Talonflame with a scar on her left eye, a cross-like scar over her bosom, and a large tattoo of a female in fetal position inside a ring of fire sat in a corner and ate a meal as a purple Charmeleon came in and put down two glasses of Cyrodil Wine in front of them. One directly at his spot while the other was placed next to her meal.

"For one who tries to hide herself, you made it surprisingly easy to find" he stated simply to her.

The female simply turned her glare to him, while still eating her meat. "Then you're the first one to find me." She replied. "Just like the old saying, the more obvious, the more it goes unnoticed."

"A true statement" he answered and took a sip of his wine "While I prefer if we go somewhere more private to talk... I think the gist is necessary so we can do it with the least amount of annoyance."

Then he took out a paper "You see... I make it my business to know things. And for that I have many ears and eyes. And then suddenly many of those went deaf and blind. That alone is annoying. But what I find more annoying is... that I don't know WHO you are." and placed the paper on the table for her to see "Or what this symbol is. And believe me. I got enough experience to normally even dig out the deepest secrets of the most reclusive people."

She kept eating until she casually pointed her fork to him. "You're the guy named Yol, right?"

That caused his eyes to rise in curiosity. "That's my name. In which context do you know it?"

"Just as you have your sources, I have mine." She replied. It was obvious she was hiding something.

Not feeling bothered by that so far, as there are a couple of ways people could know him, all of them regulated by his network. He took another sip of his glass and mused "Since you know my name, how about you give me the courtesy of giving me yours? I did bring you a glass of wine after all as a peace offer. Don't worry. It's not spiced with anything. Drugging you would only hinder my goal of learning."

She simply stared at him for a moment before returning to her meat. "The name's Cross. And that's all the info you will get from my identity. There are things that not even you should know." She said, waiting a few seconds. "And that's not a threat."

"Hermaeus Mora would have a field day with you" he simply stated "And I note you didn't look at the paper yet... you properly already know what it is, given your answer."

She finished dining and crossed her hands. "You heard of somebody named Charis?"

"The Green Blitz?" he asked to test if they are talking about the same Charis

"Yeah, as far I know." She replied. "Thanks to her we found that some ancient artifact was used, and we believe that something that shouldn't be here used that moment to get here." She explained.

"Properly something the Dwemer cocked up" he mused and finished his glass "And it seems my daughter's displeasure with me overwrote once more her sense of duty."

"I don't know the problem with your daughter. But after she returned there, I was asked to come here to make sure if this probability was wrong." She then taps the paper. "But sadly, we were right about it."

"And for that, you wiped out half of the criminal underground of Tamriel?" He concluded "Sounds like something that can be compared to the Oblivion Crisis in terms of bad."

"If they were working for you before, I'm sorry to tell you that they had changed sides." She spoke. "As far as I know the symbol's owner, surely he promised them things that you would never offer them."

"If my tracking of the people you must have killed are correct... you got at least two of my sons as well" he stated to her "One of them being a snow white Sneasel with golden eyes. The other is a purple Lucario with the same eye colour."

"Ah, these two?" Cross scratched her head. "Leave me guess, you haven't found their corpses, have you?"

"Nobody I send out to check reported any findings. Only many death and through destruction but not my sons bodies." he confirmed "And among my agents, my offspring, if they choose to be my agents usually tend to be the most trusted. And I gave them because of that to the most sensitive positions."

"Ah. Well, these two were caught in the middle of my raids, where they discovered their partners' true allegiance." She spoke. "Don't worry, they're safe somewhere else, recovering from their wounds." She then leaned toward him. "And I must admit, never saw somebody being able to hold himself against a Giant Armor. And those things are gigantic armoured freaks in the very sense of the word."

"Larger than Giants in Skyrim?" he wondered now, getting slightly more annoyed as it seems whatever his daughter found this time, left a bigger mess of unknowns than usual. He got the feeling he has to bargain with a certain Deadra again soon.

"Well, I never met one of them, but unless they're so big that your head reaches their knees..." She commented.

"They are. But not wearing armours." He confirms and looks at the paper "Did my sons give you anything of use or to give it to me? Because that sounds like somebody is trying to settle in my turf."

"Yeah, but I prefer to keep that info for myself." She said, "Unless you're 'the' Yol I was informed, I doubt you can do anything with this problem."

He narrowed his eyes at her words.

"But I have an idea." She suddenly said, "A test. If you help me with something, I will reveal everything I know." She proposed. "And depending on what I see, maybe I reveal more info than needed."

He rose an eyebrow "And what is it that you ask me to do?"

"Interested, isn't it?" She asked, smiling. "Meet me near the ruins at the North-West." She said, standing up.

He waited until Cross had left the building. Then... "Kiki" he started and looks at the Ninetails that managed to stand there completely unnoticed so far "Any rumours or reports regarding those ruins?"

"Not much. But it seems that some strange noises were heard in the forest close to the ruins." She replied. "The few that affirms to have seen the sounds' origin say that it was a strange monster never seen before there, and that only seems to appear at night."

He thought for a moment "You and Chris go and get into position to join the mess if it goes too far." he ordered "But also ensure nobody could see anything in case we have to go for a final option."

"Yes, master." She nodded, leaving the building.

Later at the ruins

Yol arrived the Fort, having changed from his comfortable and expensive clothes, for a Glass Armor and with a two handed max in his hands.

There he found the female avian leaning her back against the wall. There he could have first time a glance to her outfit, which was... inadequate in Yol's eyes. Only a black set of sleeve gloves, boots that reach up to her tights. Adding to that a black bra and black panties which holds a small cape that surrounds her hips. She seemed to be anything but prepared for battle, if wasn't by the large spear-like weapon at her side.

He rose an eyebrow "And I thought Charis has a poor choice of armour. At least she uses some metal. Are you like her in terms of "Best defence is never getting hit?" I can tell you right now that dodging and avoiding is not always an option."

She shrugs. "That's one point. The other is to distract any male that tries to attack me." She grabbed her weapon and walked to him. "And trust me, they should be lucky to hit me."

"Don't die or I grab your soul" he flatly states "You don't like what happens after I am done. And that's not a threat. The place souls go if they get captured in soul gems is not pleasant."

"Try that, and my boss would have some words with you." She said, before walking to the forest, before stopping. "Ah and be wary. Somebody is watching us from a distance."

While Yol would prefer to play his hands covered, he stated "Backup and holding the back free from anybody who might interference with us." he simply sated "In fact if you didn't insist of me coming, I would have arranged a few people to come here instead."

"Fine then." She said, walking into the forest.

The two wandered through the forest for a while the sun began to hide behind the mountains until it was fully dark. And then at that moment, some strange noises began to sound in the forest.

"As I expected." Cross narrowed her eyes looking around.

The strange noises were very loud, and close as they could hear. Holding her weapons with both hands, she looked around while the noises were getting louder, until suddenly she faced a direction pointing her weapon at it.

When Yol turned his head there, he saw how a hulking undead-like creature with the half right of his body wearing roman-like armour with a massive iron ball attached to his arm, while the half left of the body was covered with an armour that apparently seemed too advanced for the actual technology, with a weird cannon attached to the left arm.

"What the..." began Yol "Is that Dwemer weapon that managed to get not written down ANYWHERE???" but then he shakes his head "No... it lacks too many of the usual features to be one of their constructs."

"No, it's more the creation of a mad mind who loves to play god with creation itself." Cross huffed. "More likely a mechanized zombie in this case."

The abomination began to advance toward them, raising the arm with the iron ball over its head. Yol observed that move and began to do the mental math to guess how heavy this ball might be.

"Move out!" Cross exclaimed, pushing Yol away just before the monster slammed the iron ball against the ground, causing the ground to shake by the impact.

He gave a grunt, having pushed before he could use one of his shouts which would have made that trivial, but he threw his retaliation with a thunder shout against the metal body, which seemed to have some effect on it.

But then the large monster aimed his cannon at them, beginning to fire energy blasts against them, forcing Cross to move away from the blasts.

He used his magic to create a barrier to block those blasts and use the obscuring smoke to move behind the thing and shoot a lighting again.

The monster roared at that shock and began to swing the arm with the iron ball to hit him as it turned around.

Thought for Yol after using another shout, the monster could as well be a snail as the drake reposition himself to let the ball harmless pass him before he Fus Roh Dah the beast, which pushed the large aberration a few meters backward, but then aimed its cannon against him, firing at him. "FEIM ZII GRON!" was his response and he becomes a spectral being, where the shot passed through him without harm. Though he did start moving as he has only half a minute in this form.

The beast raised its arm to smash it, but not before it charged with electricity ready to strike at him, but suddenly its arm was hit by a sharp wind wave, attracting the beast's attention to Cross.

"I'm here too, you know?" Cross taunted the beast. The beast answered by starting to aim its cannon towards Cross to fire it. Just then a yellow circle appears beneath its feet. Before it explodes in electricity.

The abomination's body shook by the shock, beginning to swipe around its iron ball violently as he stepped randomly, forcing the duo to move away from its violent outburst.

"I hate how these things tend to resist everything." Said Cross when she began to spin her spear over her head.

"If we weren't that close to the Imperial City, I would attempt to use one of the strongest shouts I know" told Yol "It would cause a rain of Meteors down here."

"Oh, don't tell me you have nothing in between for cases like this." Cross rolled her eyes. "Just do me a Favor and stop acting. This thing isn't doing it."

As she said, she swiped her weapon, generating a large cutting wave which made a gash on the monster's flesh body, but the aberration began to fire at her with its cannon, forcing her to move away from the incoming shots.

Yol considered his options... he cannot use Meteor Rain. Too powerful for this region. Chris and Kiki wouldn't be any good at this beast. The strength of his shouts is too reduced in this form.

"If that brain bird set this up to get me trapped, I kill her personally" he muttered to himself before he turns to her "I got something, but I need a bit of space to act on it" and starts running off into the distance to an area he feels is large enough for what he has to do.

"Just make sure that's strong enough to take down this thing!" Cross said and moved away as she began to generate a tornado where the monster was, heating the wind until it suddenly turned into fire, trying to burn the creature in the fire tornado.

But even with it the creature kept standing up, firing his cannon at her and forcing her to move away, which dissipated the fire tornado, just showing burning marks on the abomination's flesh.

She heard a shout of Yol but couldn't look but it was one he didn't use yet... then a new shout: Queth Kren Al. And a force hit the creature... and it starts collapsing, everything in odd angles as if all bones suddenly decided to break all at once.

Then Cross saw a purple dragon walking over, standing on four legs it scowled down on it. Spreading the wings, he threw back his head and shouts NOS QO AL and a dark cloud formed in a circling motion before one massive thunderbolt struck down, burning away all flesh of the target. Only leaving the charred metals and broken bones behind. Even the skull was cracked several times for no apparent reason.

After receiving that attack and suffering these effects, the body fell to the ground with a loud noise shaking the ground by its weight. The dragon turned to Cross and growled "You better have NOT planned for me to reveal that!"

Cross shock her head looking at him. "No, but in part I was looking to reveal yourself, but I was forbidden to expose you to me by my own hand. But I'm glad you did that."

Yol simply narrowed his eyes at her.

"How amusing..." said a voice close to them. "Seems this unit wasn't developed enough for its task." Suddenly the two turned to the monster's body, revealing the mechanical eye shining in red. "Indeed, the power of the dragons of this world it's impossible to compare with the ones of that world." Sounded the voice from the monster's head.

"Who are you?" demanded Yol Jun Kriid with a deep growl "And what magic do you use to talk through a dead monster? One whose brain should be ash!"

"Magic no... science. Something in your world is still undeveloped. But you can consider a mix of both if preferred." Said the voice. "And you can call me: Master Brain."

"I guessed you were behind this thing." Cross said, narrowing her eyes.

"Yeah, I suppose you would. After all, I never expected the Blazing Wind Maiden to be here as well." Master Brain replied.

"You better leave if you know what is healthy for you. If I don't find you first, the second Alduin notices your acts upon what he considers his grounds, you will learn the might of the firstborn."

"Ha, Alduin? Funny you mention him. He was the reason for the development of this specimen." He replied.

"You're going after Alduin?" Cross asked.

With that Yol starts laughing, hard. And loud. "Good luck breaking the prophecies! If something is written in the Elder Scrolls, not even the gods can go against it!!"

"A rule that shouldn't affect those that aren't from the same world where these scrolls were written." Master Brain said.

"Fool. They are beyond time and space. While nobody knows when, where and by who they are written, nobody, not even outsiders were able to act against them." argues Yol with a grin "Believe me. I have seen a lot of attempts to go against the written word of the Scrolls."

"No matter. I just will need to create another specimen much stronger, Yol Jun Kriid." Master Brain said. "Yes, we know your name. My ability to acquire intelligence is unparalleled. Still, thanks to testing the unit's failures against a real dovah."

Suddenly Yol stomped on the head, cutting the communication. "He's causing this world's destruction" growled the dovah "Alduin never backs down a challenge. And no weapon was ever able to harm him."

"Give him enough time and resources, and he will be more dangerous than Alduin himself." Cross said, crossing her arms. "And that's what scares me."

"Then Alduin will destroy this realm because he won't accept defeat!" told Yol "Thats why he destroyed the last one!"

"We don't know their true plans. We only know that Alduin is needed for them. Can be anything." She spoke.

"And depending on what it is, we either have to slow down my daughter or speed things up" he growled in frustration "She is foretold to fight Alduin. Her destiny is to fight for this world's incarnations to either continue to exist or be destroyed. And the outcome is not written. And without the true words that can render Alduin vulnerable, no weapon that madman can create should help."

"I hope you're right." Cross said.

Then she saw how Yol approached his head at her. "Still, you still have something to tell me."

"Yeah, you're right." She nodded.

Then he rocked his head up and looked at the distance "My shouts called in attention from the Capital. Soldiers will be here soon. And their priority will be to fight me off." he looks back down "Tell Kiki and Chriss to lead you to the Red Halls. And I want those remains there as well. They will know what it means." and starts to flap his wings, raising into the air.

Cross stared at the dragon leaving the place before looking at the monster's remnants.

Later in the secret "Red Halls" Chris was leading the female avian towards the main hall where Yol, back being a Charmeleon, was sitting on a chair, reading some papers.

Upon their arrival he rose from the chair and walked towards them "Welcome to the Red Halls." stated Yol "My secret research lab for things too dangerous or unpredictable to keep in my main locations."

"I see." Cross said, looking around. "Pretty hard to find if nobody knows the place."

"The only reason you know it now is because I can relocate it very quickly if the need arises" he explained to her and offered her a seat on his table "Wine?"

"No, thanks." She said, sitting on the seat. "By the way, I hope you don't mind if the remnants are more busted than before. I needed to make sure that Master Brain couldn't locate this place, and it was possible he had a tracker somewhere in the body." She explained. "Trust me, I know how he works."

"Great" he grunted loudly "That makes trying to figure out how this works harder. As well finding measures to find it ourselves" as he sat down and looked at her, his hands folding "Well... now it's time that we talk."

"Yeah, you're right." Cross said. "Where do you want me to start?"

"Who are you truly?" he simply started "You know more of our enemy then you let slide. And you obviously work with a force outside of Tamriel. But you are not giving off the feel of a Deadra or their followers. And I doubt you are part of one of the more secretive mage groups."

"Well, yeah, you're right." Cross said. "I'm from another world, as you could suggest. But actually, work for somebody else." She thought for a moment. "Before continuing, you know about the Abyss?"

"A place in oblivion that has not one but four to five rulers. Each with their own territory and personal aspect that partly overlap with those of the Daedric Princes but have no known association to each other." replied Yol to her simply "This place is hardly reachable from Nirm and instead only reachable from the unknown realms within the Oblivion. And their inhabitants are more commonly known as Demons and such."

"Well, and you know their names to begin with?"

"No. My tries for information gathering didn't go that well." he admits to her "I only know one is a trader of sorts and another something of a guardian of justice, as paradox as it sounds."

She sighed at his explanation. "Well, for now, you only need to know that I work for one of them. And I'm tasked to make sure that things like the one we fought before don't get out of hand." She crossed her arms. "Something else?"

"How did you know that guy ended up here?" he narrows his eyes "Because I am normally proud to have quite an effective network." and leans forwards a little "Also what are your plans from here? As far as I got neither of us have for now a clue where this Brain is."

"Well, to begin with, both Master Brain and the one behind him were originally dead, trapped in the abyss, but the thing is that the Dwemer artifact Charis made contact with created some connection between there and the two worlds the artifact connected. An evil soul got to our world, and we suspected that the other got the other way around." She explained.

"Typical daughter. Breaking things she has no business interacting with" he groaned loudly "Where does that come from? Her mother is much more sensitive to such topics." and looks back at Cross "So we are talking about a soul on the loose? How does he remain without the aid of a Soul Gem?"

"In short words? That artifact gave them physical form when they escaped. Or that's the theory we have." Cross said.

"That leaves the question of what you plan from here on" pressed Yol a little.

"It's simple, I came here to hunt down these two." Cross said. "And my only clue was the boss' monsters he 'generously' left with the criminal lords that made deals with him."

"You know... killing them is not a good way to get information." he mused to her and grins "Give me the names and I have them in a place of your choice within a moon. And ready to sing like birds."

"I'm sorry, but I still have doubts you can deal with this problem." She spoke. "If I was sure, you would help me, I should have asked for your aid in the first place?"

"You act like you can ask every stranger on the street of where I live" he growled slightly "And face it! IF you could afford keeping me OUT of this mess, we would never met. But MY resources are damaged by this, MY place got challenged. I AM making sure that soul goes back to the death! Either to this Abyss or to Molog Bal!"

"They were already damaged by their actions, to begin with." Cross said. "And I don't know if you're able to deal with him." thought she could tell that she might have said a word too much... given that he is still a proud Dovah. Emphasis on PROUD. His eyes were narrowed and glowed and a deep rumble escaped his throat.

"And WHO is HE?!" He demanded.

Cross sighed loudly. "His name is Drakath." She answered. "He's the mastermind behind this, and Master Brain's master. He was in our world a powerful dragon, but by his crimes he was punished, but actually he's a dracolich expert in dark magic. Not counting he's the creator of the one we called the Dark Master." Cross said. "And trust me, the mages of this world aren't a worthy rival for him."

Yols eyes narrowed slightly "The dark master... purple dragon, golden eyes, yellow horns and a yellowish chest with the name of Malefor?" Then leans further "And Drakath... was he a black dragon of red eyes, white horns, and reddish chest?"

Cross raised an eyebrow. "How do you know both Drakath and his student Malefor? As far I know, both worlds weren't connected before."

"Because they are two of THREE Dovah Souls Unaccounted by a group we call the First Betrayers. Six Dovahs that rose against Alduin before the great dragon war. The details are not relevant, but Alduin, instead of absorbing their souls, banished them to the Daedric Realms. But three disappeared into the Oblivion. And as long as a Dovah soul isn't absorbed it can regain a body. Either by their original body being revived or reincarnated centuries later. Though sometimes they get bound to mortal bodies with the memories lost for a long time."

"If that's right they didn't show signs of it the few times we met them." Cross said. "Are you sure they're the same ones?"

"Did the Dark Master Spout something about a new world and wanting to rule it all after his image?" asks Yol and upon seeing Cross' reaction he nodded "That's his nature. Their nature is showing. Their memories and old skills aren't. Yet"

"My, if the Guardians had known about this their heads would have blown up." Cross commented. "I'm surprised that the Chronicler or the Librarian didn't know about this."

"My guess is their attention was upon them AFTER their souls reincarnated." offered Yol "And thus didn't spend time to find their origin. Also, if they didn't show any of their old abilities or memories, there was no way to know without anybody identifying the nature of their soul. And only a Dovah or Dovahkiin could sense the soul of a Dovah."

"This is getting bad." Cross said. "If somehow Drakath were to recover his memories of his past here..."

"Then he wants revenge on Alduin... and knows me." Yol Answered "We used to be... friends are a strong word, but he was one of the few dovahs that didn't look down on me regarding my different antimony compared to other dovahs. And respected my intelligence."

"Things really changed between reincarnations..." Cross said. "This paints things in another colour." Then she looks at him. "And you're still thinking about messing with this, now knowing who's behind, right?"

"Yes" he simply said "To know the end goal." and narrowed his eyes "And to settle a score."

"Then we have a problem here." Cross said. "I was tasked to bring Drakath down without intervening in others, but I was told that if you were to intervene, I should retire to a more passive position."

"May I ask why?" he mused in curiosity.

"I was only said to step away in case you were going to deal with this problem." Cross said. "I was supposed to deal with Drakath in the shadows, trying to make sure that the supposed 'events' of this world aren't changed by this conflict."

"Little late" he huffed "Especially how interconnected a lot is" and rose up "I am going to try something." and looks at Cross "Don't interrupt it. I will be back in a day or two. And then we continue that talk" and leaves

On a random mountain within Morrowind, Yol Jun Kriid stood at the top of it, looking towards the sun before taking a deep breath and shouts in Dovahzul "Drakath! I call you for peaceful talks."

At first, there was no answer, but then he saw how dark clouds began to cover the sun until it was completely dark.

"You were looking for me?" said a voice behind him.

He turned around, discovering a skeleton dragon in humanoid form with a large cape giving his back.

"Drem Yol Lok" answered Yol simply, keeping first at the normal routine of dragons greeting to ensure both are locked in the promise of peaceful talks.

"It seems I have to follow through with it, right? Then..." Then the skeletal dragon turned around, revealing his skull dragon head with two red shining dots inside the eye sockets. "Drem Yol Lok."

"So, I was right. You do live. Unexpected" spoke Yol "Thought its unexpected you took this form... both for size and... lack of flesh."

"About my size... let's say that one of my old targets had special powers, which gave all dragons a more... humanoid form." Drakath replied to him. "And about my lack of flesh... it's a constant reminder of not being caught committing crimes against our own kind."

"From you answers I assume you remember?" Wondered Yol.

"I admit that from the time I came to your world... I felt as if some sparks of a former life returned to my memory." The dracolich said.

"Your soul remembers. Or my call would be deaf in your ears" Was Yol's simple reply "What are your goals? Because your actions are interrupting my operations."

"Let's say that my actions here are only a step on bigger goals." He replied. "And I'm sorry about your operations, but I needed eyes and ears around the world. And you know how easily the souls of... mortals... can be taunted."

"You are aware what happens if you push the World Eater too far" warned Yol "And before he acts, you will force my Thu'um towards you. And if you remember about one certain detail... then I might have to act anyway."

"As I said, I have only sparks of this past. But leave me ask you something." Drakath said. "Has at least once thought about Alduin? Can you just imagine all that power in the hands of somebody?"

"And the target that leads onto your back?" he countered "I did think of various ways. But upon discovery what was written in the Elder Scrolls, my pursuit got called off. As I have a true power over mortals. One that no dovah can gain by claiming my soul."

"Right. And you imagine somebody using Alduin's power on a different world than this?" Drakath asked. "Alduin is practically a god here. Claiming his power will turn anyone into a god too."

"You want to challenge him. Claim his soul."

"Not only his soul. His body will still have enough magic to create a monster that many supposed 'heroes' and 'champions' would think twice about defying me."

"By father" muttered Yol in shock "You have fallen further than I ever have imagined."

"Who knows..." Drakath said. "Maybe I was like this before... never mind."

"I have heard enough" spoke Yol Jun Kriid "Our talk is over. Next time I call your name with my Thu'um, it's not for a peaceful talk... but for an aggressive discussion."

Drakath laughed at his words. Then the clouds began to open, blinding Yol for a memento, and when he looked back, Drakath was gone.

"We shall see... Yol Jun Kriid. And tell to that Succubus Warrior to stay away from this." Drakath's voice sounded in the area as the dovah was alone.

Spreading his wings, Yol growled to himself "That race is on" and took off, returning towards the red halls.

Back in the Red Halls

"You did WHAT?!" Cross asked, after she had heard about Yol's encounter with Drakath. "You were nuts or something?"

"No. I called him with the Dovahzul. That way by answering, he was bounded by ancient dragon rights to keep our meeting peaceful. And his soul remembered that" explained Yol

"Are you sure he didn't touch you or used any spell on you?" She asked him.

"We never touched. I felt nothing of the sort. And no spell was found on me after several checks. Also, if he did either, he broke word. And then he would have ALL living Dovahs after him. And no matter how powerful he is, against all of Dragonkin he would be struggling."

"Listen to me. Drakath isn't dangerous only by his dark magic. But also, by his minions." Cross warned him. "If he wanted, he could have summoned his army of monsters and fiends against you. The only thing that kept you safe was this 'Dovahzul' of yours."

"I am aware." growled Yol to her "You think I didn't think about what he could have done if he weren't following protocol? I had a backup plan in place. It would take time to work but that's all. He doesn't remember much. But enough to know Alduin and his power. He wants it for himself. But not absorb the soul... instead... twist it somehow. How he could do something on a piece of our father, the Aedra Akatosh is beyond me but at least I know one possible route of action."

"If you knew the monsters, he had control..." Cross said. "And that without counting Master Brain, who would surely find ways to do that. You already saw one of his 'masterpieces'."

"My body may have fallen... but my soul would been save" he simply answered "Thats what all you need to know. For now. Now I have to return to my island and start preparing to speed up one of the events that is already in play. While planning actions how to stop his goal otherwise."

"Certainly, this is getting out of hand." Cross said as she turned around walking away. "I must get reinforcements for this and..."

Suddenly she felt Yol's hand on her shoulder. "Where do you think you are going?"

"What?" Cross asked, turning her head to him.

"The second Drakath returned, THIS became a matter of the Dovahs!" exclaimed Yol to her "And as a Dovah who knows the consequences of if this mad dovah succeeds, I am not letting this outside my control."

"Look, me and my people have dealt with Drakath in the past, and we know how to deal with him." She said, turning around and placing her hands on her hip. "Or are you telling me that you can do a better job than me?"

"I have the means to destroy his soul forever." he answered simply "Also in Tamriel, we never let anybody outside of our realm deal with OUR problems. Not even the warriors of the key were allowed to interference despite the creatures they hunt plague our cities and villages a thousand years ago."

"Destroy his soul?" Cross asked. "Leave me tell you something. Drakath has resurrected in the past a few times, and to make things worse, he's now one with darkness itself. That means that the only way to make him disappear for good is destroying darkness itself. And even you know how BAD that idea is."

"Then I send him back to the Abyss where he belongs, and if possible, I'll make sure that he forgets everything about this world!" Yol said.

Cross huffed. "The males and their pride..."

She rolled her eyes until she sighed. "You know, how about we made a deal?" She said, seeing how he raised an eyebrow. "Let's make a duel, and if you win, I will allow you to deal with this problem. You can choose what the duel will be."

To which the dovah just smirked at her "Lets settle this mettle with the strength of our Voice!"

She raised an eyebrow. "Really? A duel with something that only you can use?"

he laughed heartily "Oh, you didn't listen. I said voice. Not Thu'um." and grinned "After all... a Loundred can attack with his voice as well. So, if you truly were such a great warrior, I thought you had one or two of those things as well. And there is still the simple option of... a debate."

Cross sighed loudly, shaking her head with a hand on it. "If it were my brother who were here, you would have a big bump in your head already..."

"The art of silver tongue your opponents are one not to underestimate" argued Yol "The voice of a Dovah can change reality. So why not using the talent to talk to defeat your enemies... without drawing their blood by yourself?"

"Because that wouldn't work with the most stubborn of the stubborn?" She countered. "And now we have two of them in our hands."

"Unless your goal is NOT to convince them. But to mislead them." was the counter "Or to distract them." and to which Cross felt a finger between her wings. A very cold finger. Glancing to the back, she saw Kiki who with her other hand holds a nice dagger up, indicating it could been this instead.

"If you had done that to my brother, you would have been a lightbulb at this moment." Cross said to her, narrowing her eyes at Kiki. "He doesn't like this kind of tricks."

"I would have handled your brother way differently," countered Yol "I wouldn't even allowed to get him here. From what I gather in your words, I just have to provide him with a location, and he runs there and would take a bit to realize I tricked him or that he did something for me to set up my end goal. If I even let him even know at all I played him."

"And then you should hide somewhere and plead to your gods that he NEVER finds you." Countered her. "Trust me, you don't want to know what he did with the last one who manipulated him."

Then she crossed her arms. "But I'm seeing your point. It's a style of tactics that when well used can move mountains."

"My network might be crippled, my resources contained... but my greatest asset is still mine. My mind." he finished up and lowered down to her "And that mind is sharpened by the millennia I lived in this world." and then got up again "Shall we debate some more?" allowing her to realize he had already begun the duel between the two.

She nodded looking at him. "Yes, it's a powerful weapon, but that weapon depends on the information that you can get from your sources. In the case those sources are corrupted, you would easily fall in a trap."

"Ah. That is a point. But... that is if I don't have an uncorrupted source. Or two. Their prices are high but knowing their nature, they were willing to trade with me. One because of his nature to want to know all. But of course... you hold two sources yourself right now that belong to me. And you are a source of information as well."

"Maybe you should begin to investigate the information you got from the crime lords which I 'dealt'." She spoke. "And there still exists the 'chance' that I may be lying all along, just giving small tips of truth to fool you."

"One of the things I learned is this: Each one has their tell. A small tick that you do if you lie. Not even the Deadra can hide it. One of the many reasons why they never reveal themselves in their truest forms. And I highly doubt that one as you, who is not even a fraction of their age, learned to hide that hint of truth."

"Who knows, I met people that can fool everybody." She shrugged.

"As mortals like to say... there is always a bigger fish. One who outperforms." he stated and then whispers to her "And by that the only one who lies better than everyone I met is a Deadric Prince whose realm consist of lies. And you are not her."

She was to continue, but then thought of something. "This guy is a he or a she?" She asked confused.

"Neither. The Deadric princes don't have genders in the traditional sense. Just showing themselves in forms that mortals can comprehend. Mephala is showing often as a female."

"Okay, got it." She blinked a few times until she nodded. "Let's continue..."

"Right... by the way... your tells is an almost imperceptive contraction in the area of your scar on your neck just over your breasts. Nice ones by the way."

Her eye twitched for a second. "That's a bluff. If that's right, where have you seen that tell?"

"When you claimed my son fought well. He is a scholar not a fighter. His sister is the fighter." he simply told her "I didn't press it as you were truthful my children were safe."

"Are you sure of it? I thought he was one when I met him defending himself." She said. "Why do you think I lied about that?"

"To hide something." he simply narrowed his eyes "And that is one of the things I am truly interested in. What's the secret you kee-" he stopped then his eyes widened, and he starts laughing "Oh that little bastard! He learned too well from me. You didn't even realize the lie."

Then he turns to Chris who stood at the door "Get to the Shadow trees. Ifrek must be hiding there!"

"One, what has that to see with my tell? And two, I think I lost something in the way." Cross commented.

"Your instincts knew you were lying. Your mind never caught on. Ifrek is a master of illusion magic. He and his sister often used that to switch their looks. Your mind believed you saw my son fighting, but it was his sister. Isora."

"Then who did I left in the safe place, then?"

"My daughter. Covered by a very strong illusion." he laughed "Only covering the true gender. The Sneasel, Armin, is a skilled infiltrator but not good at magic so he is most likely fooled as well"

She sighed loudly, placing a hand on her forehead. "I'm not going to reveal this to anyone..."

"Don't worry. Given I will most likely never meet your brother, I will not have it written down for potential blackmail" laughed the Dovah, heavily amused about this.

"I say it for me. If they find out, the laughter will be heard miles away." She said.

He continues to laugh once louder before catching himself and starts to press down, though his grin never left "Want to pause our duel? To wrap your mind around this reveal?"

"No, let's continue..." She waved her hand. "After all, you only confirmed that you can find lies in what people even believe what they think it's the truth."

"Which means I can still rely on several sources. Of course, splitting good ones from bad ones is going to be a chore. But I didn't build that network overnight. So, I am simply forced to do more field work than I usually do."

"Then we're back at point 1, that this information isn't corrupted." She spoke. "This info can be corrupted at any point."

"And the point of corruption can be a source as well. After all, the best lies... contains a trinket of truth. And if I know one lie, then he reveals a truth. And can be removed. In a war the truth is the hardest to find. But once you find it, it's everything." debated Yol "And I never claimed its easy."

"That depends on how you claim that information." Cross said. "I have my own methods to interrogate and trust me: nobody has lied to me up to now." She then rolled her eyes. "Well, almost nobody."

But then she turned to him. "There's still the point that it's possible you would ask the wrong questions."

"That's why you should make time to consider what you ask. And when." he mused to her with a chuckle. "Thought I do admit the wrong one can still show up when your assumption of what information you seek is incorrect."

"Now, you're saying that if you make the question in the wrong time, it's your fault that you get an incorrect answer?" Cross scratched her head.

"I said based on wrong assumption. And that can happen, even if you go the logical path of what you already know. With the simple fact there are factors you don't know that you don't know."

And with that they continued their discussion, which seemed to be lasting for hours. Something that awed those under their masters' rule as never in their knowledge one could keep up unless being the Daedric Prince of Knowledge itself.

And some point Chris who was watching the whole thing and dearly bored by now, spoke up "Why don't you do what you did with those eeveelutions recently and fuck them to dominate them?" only to clap his mouth with both hands as he realized that he spoke out loud and directed to them.

That caused Yol Jun Kriid to lose his line of thought in surprise and stared at Chris. Not finishing his recent counter to the red crow. His mouth half open as his mind tried to put together that the youngest of his slaves, his Khajiit hunter, spoke something that he would consider normal from his icy hot-Ninetails. In fact, he completely forgot he is in a "battle" right now as he tried to comprehend this paradox.

For a moment Cross opened her beak without saying anything while looking at the Khajiit, just before turning her eyes to the Dovah, as she was caught off guard by the girl's sudden phrase.

"I think we got this duel a little too far..." Cross commented.

"At least regarding what mortals are experienced" he admitted "Only my oldest two have memories how long such a battle of words can last between Dovahs if they decide not to use their Thu'um to settle the disagreement." and kept staring at Chris "I am willing to settle on a draw... as this outburst of Chris... is something I couldn't comprehend her to say ever."

"Yeah, me too." She crossed her arms.

Then they began to hear Kiki trying to hold back her laugher, hiding behind a pillar. Yol didn't pay much attention to it and simply turns around and moves away "Let us settle this at a later date. It's getting late and we should be rested no matter what the next steps are."

"Yeah, you're right about that." She replied at him.

A couple of hours later

Yol was walking down the corridor, having taken a last drink in the night and was on the way back to his room... as he heard moaning from the guest room. And the door being open. Rolling his eyes, he had a guess what happens and upon glancing he got confirmation... that bird was with one of his servants. One of the few Minotaurs that works for him in fact. Laying on the bed with her raiding on top of him.

Cross was bouncing on the Minotaur's penis up and down, her huge breasts bouncing with her while moaning and having a hand on the large bulge formed by the male's dick on her belly.

"So... tight" groaned the Minotaur "I... I..." he grunted loudly, shivering visible and was clear he was reaching a limit.

Cross continued bouncing on his dick for a while until she began to feel how lots of cum rushed inside her now that the male reached his limit, her belly swelling slowly as he kept shooting his seed inside her. All while she gave a soft moan placing her hands on her swelling belly.

With his hands on her hips, he kept her down and groaned as he kept filling her, though once it was over, the hands slipped down, and he panted loudly.

Cross breathed hard after the male finished filling her, looking at the Minotaur just before noting Yol looking at them. "Minotaurs had a lot more stamina in the past. Pastrine would be very disappointed if she were still alive" he states simply. And upon the look of her he explains "One of my former slaves. Died in battle to protect her honour, despite the strict retreat order."

"I think that last part wasn't necessary." Cross commented. "And sorry for this. This Minotaur thought he could have his way with me. Sadly, for him, I was in the mood too."

"I see" he replied "hope he at least managed to satisfy you. Know from past experience that disappointment often influences work performance." and starts to turn. Thinking there was nothing to add there, he was about to leave.

"In fact..." Cross began to say. "I'm not completely satisfied. He was good, but a round isn't precisely enough for me to be completely satisfied." Then she shrugged. "But I'm already used to this kind of situation."

He glances back to her "The facility holds several more males. Any preferences?" he simply asked, not going to risk anything now.

"Unless you have more like him, or somebody much bigger than him, or somebody with more stamina..." She replied, standing up and allowing all the cum the Minotaur shot inside her gush out on his groin.

"All other Minotaurs under my control are protecting some ruins until I am able to send an expedition over." he mused and rubs his chin "And for size and/or stamina..." he starts to mentally run down the list of males working in the Red Halls, thought Cross can already guess with an experienced look that Yol, even in his Pokémon form would fit the size and the stamina requirements. Something she could perhaps take as advantage?

"What?" She asked him as he was thinking. "Now are you going to tell me that there's no more males for this?"

"There are multiple other males." he huffed to her "But sex performance is something I usually need to know. So, thinking who might fit aside me takes a bit to sort through all the rumours I picked up" unaware that he already gave Cross an opening, given how low on his priority sex is usually.

"Well, well." Cross said smiling. "Are you saying that you're not male enough to deal with me?" She taunted him. Which earned her a glare at this blatant attack against his own pride.

"If you know what is healthy for your body, I suggest you to stop RIGHT NOW! Or you will regret your next actions and words!" he growled slowly.

"You think I wouldn't take a penis bigger than this?" Cross signalled the Minotaur's cock. "I took dicks much bigger than that." She crossed her arms. "Come on, in my corps, one of the tests to enter is to mate with a monster with a giant dick." She said, making gestures with her arms to indicate this monster was big. VERY BIG.

"A bold claim! And I bet you are ready to follow through that?" he huffed to her.

She placed her hands on her hips. "Remember the bet of before? What if we change it? If you can fuck me without fainting, then I will leave that problem to you." She offered.

He complemented about it for a moment "Hmph. Not my usual tool to win a battle but if it takes it." then he looks at her "Just be prepared for Kiki asking you if I used the "baby shout" as she calls it on you." he warned her beforehand.

"Are you sure you want to have a child with a female who is trained in the succubus' ways with contacts with entities on the Abyss?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"I said she will ask you. It doesn't take my brain to know it's not a wise move. Unless you make a case of why I should do it." Yol commented, rolling his eyes to the side. Not to mention, he added in his mind, he has yet to see a reason why should deserve one of his offspring anyway.

"Well, in this case, I can allow you to choose the 'battlefield'." She said, eyeing the Minotaur. "This one is already used."

"My room. After you cleaned yourself up. I prefer my females to be freshly washed before giving them their rewards. Or in your case the battle." he explained to her.

"Okay." She said, looking around. "And where is the bathroom here?"

He pointed down the hall "Just follow it. You will know when you see the doors." he simply explained to her "And bathroom I think you already know where."

She simply shrugged when Yol left the room. It didn't take long for Cross to clean herself thoroughly and headed down the hall... and found two very large doors that contained one smaller door for a normal sized one. And there are draconic writing and intricate designs that indicate that it is the bedroom of Yol Jun Kriid. Showing the typical arrogance of his species at play.

Cross shook her head and crossed the doors, she found herself in a large circular hold up by several pillars, each holding a burning torch below a symbol she didn't recognize. Between each pillar was a large red drape covering the walls. And in the centre of the room was one large circular bed covered by a very large purple blanket. And surrounding that large bed, were seven normal sized beds, each with a different colour. Chris lay on the one with blue, while Kiki was on one with white.

Though she did notice that a different white and a purple bed were more richly decorated and slightly closer to the main bed where Yol Jun Kriid was sitting on, waiting for her. Not a piece of clothing seen on him.

"Well, I expected to be alone." Cross said. And Yol could see that, like him, she was not wearing any clothing on herself.

"Don't worry. The beds are enchanted. They wouldn't be able to hear us, even if I used my loudest shout directly at them." he assured her "And as you see... they are deeply asleep."

"Well, I wouldn't mind having spectators anyway." Cross said, walking to where Yol was.

He watched her and took better notice now regarding her curves. Not that he had already a good idea given her skimpy equipment. But Now that he had a closer view to the last few spots on her body, he remarked "I wouldn't be surprised if you had many try and have offspring with you. From what I can tell, you got the body for it."

"I already have a pair of children, but thanks for the comment." Cross said, glaring at Yol's body. He doesn't have a look of surprise, and he doesn't ask about the father.

The female glared at the Charmeleon's groin to see what to expect of him. "Get on your back" he ordered to her.

She raised an eyebrow looking at his face. "You're ordering me?"

"If you prefer that I go rough on you, tell now" he told her, clearly most of his females just follow that order and is only tolerating that question as Cross is not a servant or slave of his.

"Well, you can go as rough as you want." She said, and laid on the bed on her back, spreading her legs. "Don't disappoint me."

"Don't worry about it." he simply told and pulled her legs up over his shoulders, lining up his pride. After a short set up and once he leaned forward a little, he started to push or rather slam inside her body.

Cross began to moan softly as he pounded her pussy with his penis. "Well, this is a good start." He raised an eyebrow at that but just trusted deeper into her as response and went faster into her while taking his hands on her legs and spreading them further to go further inside her hole.

She kept moaning with his thrusts, placing her hands on her bouncing boobs while stares at Yol's face as he kept pounding her cunt, thrust after thrust. He had an unreadable face, as he continued his movements, slowly moving more forward. So that the legs pulled her hips up even more, one of his hands moving to grab on her breast, squeezing it herself, the claws slightly ruffling through her feathers to scratch on the skin.

She groaned as she felt his hand squeezing her boob while kept moaning with the male's thrusts, placing her hand on her other breast to massage it in front of him.

"Come on, I know you can do it better." Cross taunted him while moaning with his thrusts.

He huffed and asked "So how bad do you want to escalate it?"

"Just try to surprise me." to which his reaction was to pull out so he can roll her on the side and lift one of her legs over his shoulder before slamming his pride back in, going for deep and hard trusts now with a decent speed. Testing her reaction to this. Though the avian knew there was one more escalation step. One that as far she gathered only two females got the "Honor" of.

Cross moaned louder as the Charmeleon kept pounding her cunt in that new position, her huge boobs bouncing with his thrusts as she held the bed's sheets with her hand while using the other hand to hold her lifted leg.

"Oh, yeah, keep going, big boy." She said between moans, halfway sounding like a taunt. Earning a growl from him, as he continued the deep the strong moves, leaning in a little to test how far her leg could be bent that way before she had problems. While the strength of the trusts increased into her, showing that he is not going to back down a challenge.

Her moans were getting louder as he kept getting deeper with his thrusts, soon her leg fighting to go further on leaning toward as she placed her hand on his chest to hold him. He's supposed to fuck her, not dislocate her leg in the process. He took that limit and adjusted himself a little to try and reach even further inside her body, the balls slapping against her body hard by now.

Cross continued moaning, enjoying how the male was pounding her pussy like that until she groaned loudly when she came with his cock inside her. Thought he wasn't done yet, and the hammering continued hence. Though he wasn't intending to go further at this moment, unless she is going to taunt him further... the question was only: What were the right words for it?

Even after cumming, she kept moaning with his strong thrusts as she decided to change position and get at four legs, allowing him to pound her cunt from behind. He slapped her butt, even if he let her do that change, as he is normally in control and shows a preference to give permission. His hands move to pin on the shoulders and go with his full weight of his Pokémon form into her hole.

"Oh, yeah. Keep with it." Cross said between moans, her breast bouncing hard with his strong thrusts as she felt his hands on her shoulder. "Fuck me with everything you have."

Giving a deep growl, the strength of his thrusts increased once again, much to her surprise and he leans down and whispers "Do you really want to challenge THAT? To get the full might of a Dovah?" he growled at her. She could tell that his instincts are trying to scream at him to claim her fully as one of his slaves. To mark him as his.

Only his rationality and for a Dovah unusually strong self-preservation instinct stopped him so far, as he was fully aware the dangers of his well-being if he dared to go that step.

"If you can't please me fully, it seems we have a winner already." Cross said between moans as her cunt was pound by the Charmeleon's cock.

"Don't complain if you get broken" he simply growled deeply at her and his hands lifts form her shoulders, to place themselves on the bed... and they started to shift and grow. His thrusts slowed down as he had to adjust the changes he is going through right now. In body shape and size.

Also, with grunts that were... odd. As if he doesn't know how to handle something. Then Cross realized: He properly never transformed while he had his dick inside a female.

The female groaned loudly, and her body shook as she felt how Yol's cock began to grow bigger inside of her, spreading her tunnel more and even bulging her belly widely with his growing size. "You asked for it" growled Yol Jun Kriid towards Cross and he started pushing very deep inside her to emphasize the statement.

Cross moans were louder now that Yol's cock was so huge that her belly bulged widely every time the dragon pushed his now massive dick deep inside her, her breasts bouncing hard with each pound given by the larger male.

He just growled more at her, though she did notice he was not giving a single grunt, groan or moan during his strong and deep moves against her. Despite how tight she must be for length. Though given size and deep moves made it difficult to think straight on the other hand, the pride throbbing inside her body.

She continued moaning louder as the large dragon kept ramming his massive cock in and out of her, her wings flapping in ecstasy as her body was ravaged by the Dovah's dick. While he was mentally congratulating her on how long she was already holding what he was doing with her, he began to move his hips harder against her butt, pounding her deeper.

The female avian kept moaning loudly with the stronger pounds given by the dragon ramming his huge penis inside her, her eyes rolling in pleasure as she reached her orgasm, and her cunt squeezed his massive dick as hard as her tunnel could.

Though he wasn't done yet, and simply continued on her. It took nearly two or three more hours until he did give into his limit and shot his seed into her womb. Thought held back the urge to use a shout on her for extra measure of his dominance.

The consequence of this shout is not worth the short satisfaction he would feel.

Cross gasped loudly when she began to feel how from his massive penis began to run his seed, immediately not only filling her to the brim, but also swelling her belly largely, the bulge of his huge cock disappearing from her swollen belly. She panted after getting filled like that but felt how that huge penis was still hard inside of her.

"That's... really... good..." Cross said between pants, her weight falling on her swollen belly.

Yol pulled out his pride and nods "Good. I take that challenge is then settled?" and leans in "Or do you need more?"

"Oh, yeah..." She panted, feeling his load of cum gush out of her wide opened cunt. "Keep going..." to which she got the reply by his paw pressing against her belly to ensure its empty enough for a proper second round, which made her groan as more cum gushed out of her. As he figured that other whose is it wouldn't be a "healthy" end for her.

Once that was done to a satisfying level, he growled "Straight this size?" thought he could already guess the answer.

"Just plug it inside, please..." She said, waving her butt at him. To which he growled and moves over her - moving carefully in an odd level of inexperience before his pride reaches her folds... and he slams down into her without warning or any mercy of his level.

Going straight for the business and uses his strength to pound inside her, testing how deep she could take him after the first round. Finding it easier to move given the "oiling" they created only minutes earlier.

Cross moaned loudly as the large dragon began to pound her pussy again with his massive girth, her breasts and swollen belly bouncing backward and forward with each powerful thrust from the large male. Then in a show of dominance, he put one of his paws on her head, pressing it down on the mattress as he kept pushing, adjusting his stance to account for the different angle her body supports his length.

A deep growl escapes him and narrows his eyes. An instinct of which is not known to him tries to overwrite his control. Seeking to take control of his Thu'um. Though he resists. Even if it's hard, nearly overwhelming for him. Part of his mind even picturing the results already, making it more difficult for self-control.

The female avian's repeated moans kept filling the room as her body was ravaged by the large dragon and his huge penis, even using her hands to caress her breasts as her swollen belly was now holding her weight with the cum inside her unable to gush out by the huge cock blocking her pussy as he kept ramming it inside her. Her wings flapped as her eyes rolled in bliss, enjoying the male's pounding as she came again.

Then he grabbed her with his front paws and rolled, so that he was in a sitting position and moved his two front paws to slam her down even stronger than before. Any normal female would be breaking physically by the force involved or at least pierce the organs inside, but she seemed she could hold that kind of brutality. Still fighting with the instinct, he starts roaring, a mix of the frustration of this unknown instinct and his body for the first time ever truly experiencing pleasure of the flesh reaching his mind.

Cross moaned louder, even yelling in pleasure as her body was now riding Yol's massive penis, her breasts and swollen belly bouncing up and down each time her cunt swallowed his dick and moved her body up afterward. Even grabbed her own breasts with her hands and massage and squeezed them in pleasure as she kept getting orgasm after orgasm.

The pressure of his balls started to build up and the dragon was closing into his second unleashing of the day... but now he was actively groaning and moaning at this point, something he truly did before, the body shivering in an anticipation he couldn't place...

And at the same time, it took all of his willpower to keep this instinct he cannot identify from taking claim of his throat. To force him to speak the three words that would result in something he couldn't take back afterwards.

Oh, he did use it so often... but each time the one getting hit WANTED it. This bird, in a reasonable logic will most likely NOT want it. And who knows the other consequences.

She kept yelling in pleasure, her body being abused by now only by his penis, but by the pleasure filling her body in ways she never felt before, no matter with how many males she mated in the past. Her mind was getting weird, and her instincts were forcing her to act as now her legs tried to squeeze Yol's huge balls each time her body was lowered enough for her feet to reach them.

"Oh, yes!" She began to scream in bliss, her hands squeezing her own breasts as hard as she could to please herself more. "Fill me! Shoot your seed! BREED ME!" She suddenly yelled.

The first two words were expected, thus his mind operated accordingly, releasing the order to his shaft to release the load.

The last two words thought... they were unexpected. His mind worked through what they meant quickly... but the control lapsed. The logic part of his mind was not fast enough to register it was drunken bliss that caused to say it. Instead, it fuelled the instinct Yol tried to understand... and it overwhelmed the last bit of self-control.

His Dovah soul expends the energy to fuel the power of his words that can change the world to his whim. Forming three distinct words that have the following meaning: "Breeding, fertility, crossing". The will of his forcing her body and his seed to adapt. For her to release an egg cell and both the cell and his seed seeking out... and be compatible.

Cross groaned loudly as the second load of cum began to run inside her, at once swelling her belly and making it to get much bigger than before, her hands squeezing hard her breasts as she was getting filled again with the dragon's massive load, her eyes rolling by the pleasure given by that filling.

The two panted loudly for a long while after the two finished their mutual orgasm, their minds beginning to recover from their blissful state, figuring what just happened.

"Oh, my." Cross said with a small pant before placing her hands from her boobs on her cheeks with a shocked face. "I can't believe I just said THAT?"

"I..." he panted loudly "I cannot believe... I... have an instinct... I... never experienced before" and grunts slightly as he fought for body balance "And that... it caused me... to shout THIS"

"I think we both bit off more than we could chew..." Cross said, facepalming herself.

"Well... now we need to figure out what we do with that" he told and pokes slightly her belly "Because I worked long enough on THAT shout to ensure anything short of a dagger there, will be result in a healthy outcome."

"Yeah, I can figure that too." She said, soon sighing loudly and moving her hands to centre herself. "Anyway, my words, my mistake." Said to herself as now placed her hands on her heavily swollen belly.

He pulled her up from his body and put her down on the mattress and went into a laying position more comfortable than the sitting one and gave a small laugh" Well... my curiosity how THIS mix will turn out is given. We can work on a deal on how to handle that one AFTER the mess my daughter started is cleaned up."

"Yeah, good point..." Cross said, facing the Dovah. "Anyway, we can conclude you won this duel, so it means I'll have to leave the problem with Drakath in your hands."

"In more ways than one" he chuckles to her "Now we should sleep. I got a lot of to-do in the coming days... to prepare the foundations for my plans" and laid down for sleep... thought didn't notice he half curled around Cross and she could easily use his stomach as a pillow for the night.

"Yeah, and now I will have to think what to do with this, or how to deal with my family when they find out about this..." Cross said, soon rolling her eyes. "At least I know a stepbrother who won't know whether to laugh or scold me..." Then she groaned and facepalmed. "Without forgetting my mistress..."

He gave a nod of acknowledgement but otherwise said nothing more... As he is truly tired right now, his mind is filled with too many things at the moment, from the problem with Drakath to... what happened now. Regarding what secrets unfolded towards him.

He needs the night to order them. And tackle one question at a time. Slowly he fell into a deep slumber. Deeper than he ever experienced before.

The next day, Cross began to wake up, finding herself in Yol's bedroom lying on his bed. After recalling all the events that happened the last night she sighed loudly and stood up, thankfully her belly had deflated from the last night's filling.

Taking as a form of self-punishment for last night's mess she got herself, she left the room nude and wandered around, until she reached Yol's map room, where he, in his Charmeleon form, is already writing orders and handing them to people to deliver them somewhere. Clearly, he is already making plans here.

"Already awake?" Cross asked him.

"Yeah. Despite having woken up nearly 3 hours later than usual" he stated, not even bothering to say anything regarding her naked body. "And you have come to a good time. Once you had breakfast, can you get my two kids back here? The third showed up while we slept and already gave a report. Or if you think it's not smart, then can you at least deliver a list of questions and bring back the answers?"

She shrugged, crossing her arms. "Well, I think I can try to take them here, but they won't move from here until this problem is solved."

He looks at her and narrows his eyes a little "What are you hiding this time?"

"Just naming that they're witnesses of Drakath's secret plots, so they can be targets of his spies." She said. "So, I think that staying here would be safe for them."

"I would have moved them to my island. It's the best defended place in Skyrim. But if you insist" he stated and wrote another letter quickly and handed it out. then he stood up "The first orders are done... the pieces of my side of the board are being set. At least most of them. One of those pieces... I need to find it again first." he turns to look at the map hanging at one wall of Tamriel "But Drakath... he will know what it means to start a game in my territory" and grins "Where I am also the game master."

"Don't forget he isn't the only problem here. Master Brain is out there somewhere, making more of those aberrations." Cross warned him. "And it will be hard to find his laboratory."

"Materials" he simply answered her to that statement. And turns to her "I explain once I have some data, I just send out a request for. After that and talking to my children..." he tilts his head a little in thought "Give it three weeks to let everything unfold... and you learn everything."

She sighed loudly. "Well, I think I can wait for that time..." She said, rubbing her belly for a moment before extending her hand. "Just wait a moment. It will take only a moment." Then she formed her weapon on her hand in a burst of wind and flames.

Holding it with both hands she made a diagonal slash in the air that made a mystical rift she crossed, closing when she got into it. Yol got confused at how that worked.

After a short time, another rift opened, with Cross crossing it, alongside two more people, a male Sneasel with purple feathers and white fur, wearing leather armour with a simple bow and arrows on his back, and a purple and blue female Lucario, wearing an iron armour with two blades strapped on the back, following her from behind. Of course, the Sneasel was blushing surely by seeing Cross' nude body, while the Lucario seemed envious of the avian's busty body, both wondering why she was nude at that moment.

He smiles to the two children "Good. You two are here. So, time to get your intelligence information out."

"Of course, father." nodded the Lucario as she bowed slightly "As you command."

"What info? The one of that gal's place or the matters of Tamriel?" he chuckles, causing his father to have a flat look, as if it wasn't obvious. Sighing he sighs "Of course I know which one... given how that threatens your position more."

The female avian simply shook her head silently, rolling her eyes. Yol just gave a deep breath and then went to questioning them.

over the time of three weeks...

Yol sat with Cross at a table, drinks and food between them and Yol was taking a sip of his drink "Once I found the common ground and their patterns... that game became quite easy. If we didn't account that my opening moves were independent of our opponents position on the field."

"Yeah... without forgetting that some of the corrupted members of your network escaped at your surprise raids..." Cross aid as she was eating. "And who knows where they can be now."

He then grins "You see... their biggest problem is... no matter how much you want to keep things hidden... there will always be traces, or a trail that can be followed. And those lead to more places. And... sometimes a well-placed reward... or rumour... makes your work easier. Like for example... a hidden place is actually a place of worshiping forbidden gods. Or a grand reward for somebody retrieving a "stolen" object and bringing them back to the one asking for its return."

"Come on..." Cross said. "You're just proclaiming as yours the finding of your children and spies finding Drakath's hideouts. You're just standing here for the info to get here."

"And I used the info to draw the connections to guide them to the next. Or have them place bounties, rumours or so for... the clean-up." countered Yol while pointing his finger to her "I am not like other Dovahs if you haven't noticed." then he smirks "And either Master Brain is reducing the number of Thalmor right now, or the Thalmor manage to bust his hideouts. That result I look forward to seeing. Either way, resources of two factions I want to be gone are wasted."

"Just hope he doesn't figure this is your doing and tries to move the Thalmor's attention to some of your operations instead." Cross warned him.

"I only gave them the hint to look at a certain direction... and from there they put the pieces together themselves. Master Brain shouldn't have relied in people that murder entire mining crews to get the material." explained the dragon "of course... he could have misjudged their behaviour. Don't know about this guy to judge his character. As for Drakaths goals..." and he smirks "Currently Alduin is out of reach. And I got confirmation that Charis got the name of Odahviing. Soon she will challenge him. Capture him... and is on the way to the only place in Skyrim that allows her to reach Sovngarde."

"So, in just a few words, Drakath has lost this time, right?" She looked at him.

To which Yol frowns "Almost... it's only over once my daughter fulfilled her destiny and challenged Alduin in Sovngarde. Only then, we can clearly tell if we won or lost that one... and I am unable to affect that outcome. It's now up to my daughter's skills."

Cross nodded, but then frowned as she began to think about something. Yol was quick to note her wariness. "Something is crossing your mind. What is it?"

"Just wondered. Sovngarde is the only place where Alduin can hide when in danger, right?" Cross asked. "And there's only a route to reach it, right?"

"Only one I know about yes, guarded by loyal dragons, draugr and a dragon priest..." then he frowns "It's a secret between all dragons... but if only one even spilled the beans to Drak-" he stopped, and eyes widened "HE could be already on his way there. Even with my influence to cause a truce between the factions of the war, Charis needed time to get everything in order for her big battle."

"You said Drakath is recovering fragments of his old memory." Cross said, but then gave a loud groan. "Of course, why didn't we think about it before?"

Cross looked at Yol. "Is possible that Drakath could have placed some of his minions there to make sure nobody else gets there. Drakath didn't need to trap Alduin somewhere around the world. He just needed Alduin to go somewhere where he couldn't escape!"

"And figure out how to enter himself. THAT is the only secret nobody knows. How can you enter Sovngarde from there." finished Yol and grit his teeth and stood up. "I have to leave. Perhaps I can reach there before it's too late."

"What do you plan to do?" Cross asked him.

"Buying Charis, the time she needs to defeat Alduin. Better if I defeat Drakath but the time matter is priority." he stated as he started heading for the exit.

"Be careful. He's not someone to let your guard down with." Cross warns him.

"If he is anything like back then... than overestimating him is as dangerous as underestimating him." he only answered "At least I have an idea or two about facing them. Thats better than what I could hope for Charis... as I have failed to warn her about him"

In the dark clouded sky, a sinister dark cloud formation was flying at fast speed, but suddenly something hit the dark cloud and fell close to a beach, the dark mist covering the sinister body, with somebody landing in front of it.

"You shouldn't have done that." The mist dissipated, revealing Drakath on his knees before standing up and facing the one who attacked him.

"If I had heed that warning all the time, I wouldn't be here by now" answered the voice and Drakath saw Yol Jun Kriid in the air, his wings flapping to keep him airborne. Both dragons heard a female voice call: "Odahviing."

Yol instantly knew what it meant... and how much time he needs to buy at least to have this important step to work.

"It seems the pieces are getting in their position." Drakath said, looking at Yol.

"It's only the question, according to which players desire" countered Yol to him. "It seems you were in a bit of a hurry."

"Just found that Alduin went where I expected." Drakath said. "I have to admit that your daughter has done a good job easing mine. I didn't need to chase him where he went. Just needed him to trap himself."

He nearly stopped in mid flap "how do you know she is my daughter? That's a secret that no one outside the heart of my territory should know." and narrowed his eyes.

"Master Brain is pretty good with genetics... with a simply lost drop of blood he can find lot of things... and when he compared her blood with some of you other children..." He then crossed his arms. "You know? That's too scientific on his part and too hard to explain."

"Sounds like something you can dig from the Dwemer" huffed Yol Jun Kriid "But know that I am not going to let you interfere with her duty. As my own desires regarding Alduin correspond with her success."

"I'm sure of it..." Drakath said. "Also, I'm pretty surprised how your network has been able to stall my operations for too long."

"Experience in building such that" he smirks to him "And I had MUCH more time to refine mine." before he looks smug "And if you remember... even at the old days I outsmarted everybody despite most of our brethren looking down on me."

"Yeah, that's right." Drakath said. "But sadly, I can't stay here for too long. I have a long way to go."

"Oh, you won't go anywhere." Yol said, and suddenly yelled at the clouded sky, opening a clear in the clouds allowing light to cross it. Drakath was forced to move away from the light as some of it hit it and smoke came from his bones. "I figure that in your undead form you get weakened with daylight. So, I'm making sure you can't take the shortest route!"

"Pretty clever, Yol." Drakath growled as he used his magic to form a roof over him with the sand and form a shadow over him.

"FUS! ROH! DAH!" he then shouted at the sand, sending it with the essence of force away, forcing Drakath to retreat to a natural shadow under a tree to buy a moment to cast proper magic.

"You think you're winning time, right?" Drakath said. "You should know that I always get prepared for things like this."

"You placed forces at the temple I assume" answered Yol, having already thought that... but had little time to actually send something to counter. All he can hope is what he was able to send can at least clean up somewhat of a path.

"Pretty clever, right?" The dracolich said. "They will stall her until I reach there, and you sadly will be too busy to follow me through alternative routes."

"You speak as if your partner could bust out his next weapon against me." chuckles Yol "Last I heard he is busy with the Thalmor."

"Are you sure of that?" Drakath asked with a 'grin'.

Suddenly the water near the beach began to move as if something was approaching the coast, soon revealing what seemed a humongous mechanical crab of around 10 meters tall, stepping on the sand.

"Leave me guess. You're surprised to see me, right?" The mechanical crab faced Yol, and the frontal area opened revealing part of a massive brain with an eye looking at him behind some glass. Master Brain. "I don't need to be present to control my labs. I can control everything at a distance. At this moment my defence systems are dealing with those stupid Thalmor while I escort lord Drakath to his moment of glory."

"Well played." hissed the dovah "But why do you think I would STAY with YOU?"

"Because I won't allow you?" Master Brain said as he closed the frontal area and from the claws, he began to shot large orbs against Yol. He unleashed Unrelenting Force against the first few before flying up for easier movement to avoid those shots, causing those first orbs to fly back at the machine, but he used the other claw to spot his own shots.

"Using my own attacks against me? Thanks, but I'm not a big fan of tennis." He said and fired a missile from the body's back at him.

He didn't even bother to try to tell the true reasons to him and shot a fireball at the rocket before he used the sea at his advantage... and with a shout froze the entire section of the sea. Including the water that still clung upon the machine.

Yol panted a little as it is always big work to freeze that much. Even more when it's salt water.

"Very funny, but you better don't underestimate me." Master Brain said as the mecha crab began to pull the legs out of the frozen sea, preparing for attack Yol again.

"I would like to see how this goes, but I have a meeting with a dragon." Drakath said and began to rush away through the shadows, getting away from the area, leaving Yol alone to deal with Master Brain.

Yol growled and tried to follow him, even using Time Stop to prevent Master Brain from trying to try and stop him. Only to stop as he found a barrier around the area. The crash dazed him, and he was forced to land. "By the-" he stopped in mid-curse and growled, using the remaining time of his previous shout to unleash unrelenting force against the machine itself.

The mecha crab resisted the push and step toward the Dovah.

"What do you think about this barrier I made using only technology, Dovah?" Master Brain taunted him. "Much stronger than any defensive barrier any mage of this world would create."

Yol huffed to that, as he knows the most underlying principle of ANY Barrier: The stronger you make it, the more energy it needs. Be it magical or otherwise. Which means Master Brain must have hooked it up on something to keep running at the require strength... and it cannot provide it forever.

But he is in no mood to make this a waiting game either. Instead, his brain runs the possibilities available for him to deal with this crab, hopefully disable that barrier prematurely and then go catching up that mad dragon.

Upon the first matter... he has to find first a weakness. Taking in what he had used at this brain's previous machine, he crosses out anything he used there out of his list already. Instead, he first shouts "KRII LUN AUS!" followed by "ZUN HALL VIIK"

The impact of these shouts was able to make one of the pincers to get ripped and fall to the ground, but still the machine had the other arm which shot an energy ball against him. Which he avoided by shouting "Wuld" moving quickly to the side and then flew up once more. Mid-air he considered to rip off the other arm as well with the dual shouts but first tests something else... namely Cyclone. "VEN GAAR NOS!" hit the ground and a Cyclone grew and rushed towards Master Brains machine.

"You think a cyclone of wind and sand will damage this unit? You think I didn't test its functionality against these elem-what?!" Master Brain shouted as he was being elevated by the cyclone, moving uncontrollably mid-air. Gliding through the gales, the cyclone died quickly enough to allow Yol to reach the crab and his claws hooked upon the front of the machine to rip open the section Master Brain had open before, betting on the effects of Marked for Death that the metal was still weakened for a few more seconds.

"You damned reptile!" Master Brain replied angrily as the Dovah ripped open the frontal area, revealing the brain container. "Get off!" He closed his eyes, beginning to make some strange shining as if he was preparing something.

Knowing better than to test his luck, he lets go... and then shouts at the still airborne crab with Unrelenting force... to send it straight back to the ground. Trying to time so that the crab was forced to land on the back.

But before that shout would reach him, he opened the eye, releasing a potent beam that pushed the shout back, and if it wasn't by the shout itself it would have hit Yol directly, only missing by inches.

The mecha crab soon landed on the ground and began to stand up again. "Now you're trying my patience, and I'm known to be a patient guy, you know?"

"If one setback is pissing you off that much, then I worry about the normal patient of your home." countered the dragon before from between his front paws an ice spear shot forward, hitting the glass container at an angle, barely passing the protective shell of metal.

"Argh!" Master Brain exclaimed as those spears were able to cross the glass container and pierce his brain, the machine shaking. "You will pay for that!" He exclaimed, shooting a salvo of missiles against him.

Yol waited for those missiles before he used the full power of the Whirlwind sprint to move past the rockets and closer to the crab, shouting the 'Disarm' shout again against his opponent. But this time the armoured body was able to resist the impact but damaging a little the remaining pincer.

"Oh, if you want a part of it, just ask!" Master Brain said, aiming the remaining pincer at Yol, to simply launch it as a rocket against him. Not thinking instead just acting on self-preservation instincts he declared "FEIM ZII GRON!" and his body became Ethereal, causing the projectile to pass through his body without causing any harm. Glancing back, he watched the projectile, as he counted down mentally the seconds that this state of existence remained.

The pincer impacted on the barrier and fell to the ground, meaning that this was a one-use attack. Something that seemed odd for Yol. Unless...

Suddenly the arm in which the pincer was attached generated a kind of a large energy whip that Master Brain whipped in front of it.

"After my master gets full control of Alduin, I will enjoy taming your race to submission!" Master Brain stated to him. "Beginning from you!"

To which Yol was just starting to laugh loudly "Than be prepared that you kill the majority of them due to their own egos, pride and thick-headed honour. I used all those three against my own kind more than enough to know that NOBODY tames them. Best you can ask for their loyalty as long they believe you to be strong!" and just as the time of his state runs out, he shouts Time Stop.

He took the moment to took a deep breath, as his throat was starting to feel a bit dry form the constant use and followed up with Marked for Death and an Icicle Spear... the latter just barely send off as the Time Stop ended.

But the machine moved the energy whip to stop the Icicle Spear as he steps back.

"Then after I turn your remains into my masterpiece, your kind will have to obey us if they don't want to share your same fate!" Master Brain stated and threw the energy whip against Yol.

Who this time conjures a magic shield to block it off and as the machine reels for another attack, Yol sends Cyclone on the way.

"That won't work twice with me!" Master Brain said and the mecha crab dig the legs deep enough to not be sent flying this time. "To be known for your cunning tactics, I see you're desperately struggling to defeat me, trying the same tricks again and again!"

Only for Yol to run around the crab, and from the side without the whip Disarm hits the shell. "Or I just not wasting my aces before its time for the big strike" he told simply, his plan already formulated... just getting it right is a massive timing thing where he CANNOT rely on time stop, due to the lack of fine tune the shout has. Cursing himself a little to not have delved deeper for it.

The last shout was able to rip part of the armour with one of the missile launchers, but when the cyclone stopped, Master Brain turned around whipping at him.

"You know what? Yeah, I will turn you into one of my subjects, but I'm so mad at you that I will only do it after I have experimented with all your progeny and forced to watch how I do it!" Master Brain exclaimed as he extended his energy whip against him as he began to charge his energy eye beam.

Jumping to the side, Yol then shouts something he was still in the experimentation stage but is certain it works "Mirror. Reflect. Energy" made with energy based spells and shouts in mind, but is betting on that the source of energy is not relevant... only the FORM.

At that moment Master Brain opened his eye furiously and fired his eye beam against Yol, where a reflective barrier started to form in front of him. When impacted against the barrier, it seemed that it was about to shatter the barrier.

But then the beam bounced back, and a surprised Master Brain wouldn't do nothing but see how his own beam impacted hard against the machine, severely damaging it beyond repair and falling to the ground.

Breathing heavily, Yol didn't want to take any chances here, so he rose on his back feet gathers energy in his hands and slams down to release the magical energies which causes the ground to rumble... and an earth spike sprouting from underneath the machine, piercing through the machine, moment the barrier on the area began to disappear.

Then he took the time to see how the "brain" part of Master brain is doing. Getting ready to give another "Tab" to be sure.

"You cursed lizard..." Groaned Master Brain when he found it. "Maybe you won this time... but I have a surprise for you." Then he laughed, the moment a constant beep was heard.

Yol, not trusting anything here, used the Ethereal shout again, before taking flight as he has better things to do than to argue with this thing. Taking a Mental note to have additional spies out later to find out if he is gone for good or if he must drop another hammer.

Just then behind him the whole machine blew up in a violent explosion that could be seen from many directions, startling the inhabitants that were relatively close to the area.

Meanwhile, Charis was wandering through Skuldafn's ruins after dealing with a great number of enemies in the ruins.

But as she wandered through the tunnels, she thought of something: The monsters she had fought weren't precisely draugr as she expected to find in this place. No, they were something else. Something she thought she saw before, somewhere else.

Soon she reached a large chamber where she could find the dragon priest holding the keys to reach the last hiding place of Alduin, Sovngarde. But the only thing she found was the corpse of a dragon priest. When she went to investigate the corpse, she saw that the body wasn't holding the key items she needed.

"Okay, what's going on here?" Charis asked herself. "Somebody got first or what?"

Instinctively she made a somersault backward, avoiding a large flying scythe that nearly hit her, and when landed and saw the weapon's flying trajectory she saw who attacked her.

"You seem pretty skilled to have avoided my attack." The one who attacked Charis seemed a kind of a large skeletal ape with parts of armour on the body and armoured claws on arms, a black coat on its body and a green jewel on the left eye alongside the empty red shining eye.

"And you are more talkative for just bones." She countered back "And I seriously doubt you are the reanimated skeleton of a Pokémon." while drawing two of her daggers, twirling them slightly to get them into a better grip. Getting in a fighting position she narrows her eyes "I take you got what this priest had?"

"Oh yes, indeed." The skeleton made a gesture with his hands and a staff, and a mask appeared floating close to him. "I'm taking care of them while waiting for my master. He's the only one worthy enough to submit Alduin, and I'll make sure that nobody gets in my master's way."

"Unless he is the Dovahkiin of legends, I fear I have to salt your day." countered the Zeraora with narrowed eyes, electricity crackling over her body

"Then this place will be your grave too, Dovahkiin." The skeleton said as he moved the artifacts away.

"Share that with all the others who claimed that." she simply answered and rushed forward, daggers at the read for strike, but a few sickles flew toward her getting in her way. That forced her to stop her rush and swing the daggers to parry the sickles first, then she followed by Whirlwind Sprint against him.

The skeletal creature jumped to avoid the attack and began to float in the air above her while holding its scythe with both hands. She gave a low snarl at this enemies reaction time, she quickly sheaths her daggers and charges her magic, throwing two quick fire balls before jumping into the air. One of her hands reaching to the two blades strapped on the back, taking hold on the grip of one of the blades.

Drawing it she spun in the air for a strong downward slash with one hand.

The skeletal creature saw this coming and attacked her with its scythe, the blade clashing against her weapon. The Zeraora got thrown off due to her not being able to float... but she quickly recovered her pose and threw an Unrelenting Force shout against the opponent.

The fiendish creature was pushed by the shout's effect until it crashed into a wall, but quickly summoned a few floating sickles that sent flying toward her. Snarling slightly at those annoying things, she weaved through those before she threw forward one of her hands but instead of a dagger, a fireball flew forward against her opponent. All the while not stopping her advance to get close to him once more for a strike.

The sickles kept flying toward her despite being avoided or blocked, until the creature sent his scythe flying at her. She quickly skirted to move around the flying weapon and used to first unleash a short Whirlwind sprint to cover the ground quickly before jumping and slashing at the surprised skeleton, her blade hitting the spine hard.

The skeletal being howled at that strike, but he turned around to punch her with its armoured claws. Ducking out the swing, her first sparks with electricity and she went for an uppercut, followed by a kick to the side to send him flying. But it stopped flying and getting its scythe back he rushed at her ready to slash her with it.

Twirling her blade into a reverse grip she blocks his attack and hits him again, this time aiming for the head with the force of her Plasma Fist move. Causing cracks to appear on the skull.

The skeleton floated away after that strike, staring angrily at her. "You will pay for that. You can be sure of that."

"As if you weren't trying to kill me before" she stated, while putting her sword away... and pulled another one out. One had a glowing orb at the handle.

"Foolish brat." The skeleton raised its hand and a few burning skulls appeared flying toward her.

She narrows her eyes and simply rushes towards the skulls, her blade slashing through, but instinctively jumps away from the slashed skull before it explodes in a fireball that almost hits her.

So, she instead went to shoot ice spikes against the skulls with her free hand, running to get into a better position to attack.

Staring at the Zeraora as she runs around, from the gem on its eye socket fired a beam that narrowly hit her. During that she managed to throw one dagger, and her aim was true... as it impacted his other eye socket.

The skeleton took the dagger out of its eye socket and threw it to the ground, before sending a few flying sickles against her in all directions.

"Did I forget to recharge the enchantment?" she muttered to herself before she jumped high and rolled in the air to avoid the sickles, before she landed with her feet on his swinging scythe and slammed the tip of the sword into his head "Enjoy Dawnbreaker!"

The skeletal being got frozen for a moment but grabbed the blade with its skeletal hand.

"If this it's going to be my end, then I'm not going to fall alone. You're coming with me!"

The skeletal creature unleashed a large energy ball to the air just before the skeleton exploded. She could then see that anything that would happen could be bad if that energy ball landed on the ground.

So, she starts gathering her breath and then unleashes her thunder roar, the fierce power of the storm, born from the might of a dovah and enhanced by her own type towards that orb. The clash caused the orb to explode mid-air in a wide radius in a dark energy wave, which could have hit her if it had landed on the ground.

"Damit. That is quite the "gift" he wanted to give." she breathed hard and panted for a moment. Once the breath was back to normal, she gathered her dagger and followed it by searching for the staff and the mask.

It took a moment to find it again but once she had both, she wondered "So... do I need both or only one of them to open that dammit gate?" then she decided to take both and make her way towards the location of said gate.

She finally reached to the room where she could open the gate to Sovngarde. It took her a time to figure how to activate the gate, but when she did it, a large portal appeared in front of her, and she only needed to step on it to reach her destination.

But without warning a wall of black flames began to surround the circle that broke open on the ground to form the gate, blocking her way.

"Now what?" she growled loudly, clearly getting frustrated at all those interruptions she has to deal with.

"Intriguing. Never expected somebody would defeat Death before I could get here." Said a voice behind her.

She turned around with narrowed eyes to see who is daring to make her way more complicated, just finding an anthropomorphic skeletal dragon. "And who are you? Another Dovah friend of my father?"

"Oh, you're the Dovahkiin. I'm Drakath, a pleasure." Drakath bowed to her for a moment. "Although honestly, I expected someone like that to be a little more... imposing."

"What? Didn't you think I am a thunder cat?" she simply countered "Don't worry. I am not a kitty you can pick up and pet simply." and draws one of her daggers. Then she narrows her eyes "Wait... that name sounds... familiar..."

"Really? You heard about me?" Drakath chuckled. "Maybe you found one of my hired agents and spoke more than he should."

"No... I think... yes it was part of one of the only seven bedtime stories my father ever told me." she told him but looked over him "But you don't look like anything as he described what he called "Former comrade" to me."

"Oh, things like this tend to happen when you get to another dimension and get some power that turns you antinatural." Drakath explained. "But now I want you to step aside so I can claim my price."

"Alduin's soul? Forget it" she stated loudly.

Drakath laughed. "His soul? That's funny. I was planning to claim all of itself and use it for my schemes. But it seems you're going to be a nuisance as that meddling black dragon."

"Wouldn't be the first time" was the simple reply "How about you just roll over and die to save us both the time, energy and effort?" then her mind caught up with the last piece. How oddly specific it was that he mentioned a black dragon... so she decides to test something and smirks "Or do you prefer to have another Spyke in your butt?"

She saw how his eye 'twitched' after she mentioned that name.

Smirking, she draws one of her blades and twirls it once in her hands before assuming a fighting stance.

Drakath extended one of his wings, forming a red magic circle on it that began to shot a large amount of dragon-headed fireballs against her. Running forward, she jumped, rolled under and side stepped those flaming projectiles and swung her blade once close enough against the chest of her opponent.

He was quickly enough to avoid the dagger, before teleporting to another spot of the area, and extending his wing for this time form a blue magic circle from which began to throw large dragon-headed icicles toward her. She narrowed her eyes and went for a Whirlwind Rush towards the projectile... ending the rush just before the contact and she slid underneath it, shooting her own ice spike against her opponent.

And she followed up with a stabbing motion with another Whirlwind sprint. The hit made Drakath to slide a little backward while grunting by the hit, but then he teleported to another spot, but this time raised his hand, sending green bolts to the sky. "Let's see if you can absorb this."

Then she spotted how these same bolts began to fall on random spots, one of them being very close to her, feeling that those weren't normal bolts of electricity.

So instead, she went for a different trick in her book... "STRUN BAH QO!" she shouts into the sky... and the green bolts were joined by real bolts, partly intercepting each other as she starts running forward, a slight prayer on her lips to the Aesir that only one of HER bolts hit her while trying to reach the skeleton.

Seeing this coming, he moved his skeletal wings to stab her with them, forcing the Zeraora to jump away to avoid the sharp bones. Though the prayer must have been heard... as one of the bolts impacted practically between them, kicking up a massive dust cloud, blinding them both... or so would be seen as she casts one of her only non-combative spells: Detect Dead.

Using that she moves in a sideways curve to blindside him. After a quick switch to one of her swords she swung her weapon strongly. Though she muttered a curse upon realizing she misjudged her timing and instead of the main body, she only hit the right wing bones.

Realizing this, Drakath teleported away to another spot, executing his fire-throwing move against her thinking she was still in the dust cloud.

Thought Charis has already moved away from the spot and was using his distraction for another rounding around the area and this time she didn't take any chances: Taking her breath she exclaims "TIID KLO UI!"

Upon hearing the words, Drakath whirled to face her but from his perspective she moved in such incredible speeds that his mind took several moments for him to remember what those words meant.

Valuable moments that resulted in him getting hit multiple times by her blade, which she finished up with a fully powered Plasma Fist used as an uppercut.

And just as the true effects of her shout ended, his skeletal form was under the subject of a Dovahs favourite: Fus Roh Dah! Unrelenting Force.

Drakath was thrown a few meters away from the shout, falling hard on the ground. But he teleported from it to the blocked door, facing Charis while having problems staying erect.

"Stupid child. Do you believe you can defeat me?" Drakath asked. "I'm more ancient than you could even be, ever for a 'legendary'."

Thought he realized too late she had thrown a sword at him... a sword with a glowing part at the handle. And true her aim it was now stuck in his skull's eye. "Then you have no problem talking to a Deadra hating undead! Say hi to Dawnbreaker.".

He was shocked at first by it, but he clenched his teeth and claws, just before forcing a spell that covered everything pitch black, making she couldn't see anything. Only hearing how a metallic object fell on the ground close to her.

"Now... knowing that you were at my world... allow me to teach you why I was so feared." She heard Drakath's words around her.

Soon the blackness dissipated, finding herself no more in Skuldafn's ruins, but in some dark dimension. And looking around she was able to spot Drakath sitting on a throne of bones.

Which throne was just over the skill of a gigantic draconic skull, with a pair of detached dragon claws floating at the sides, while Drakath was giving a sinister 'smirk' at her.

"Wow" she whistles "That is at least more impressive than this one necromancer who tried something familiar with a golem made of mammoth bones and giant bones." while spotting Dawnbreaker and used her feet to get his back to her hand. But narrows the eyes as she knew something was wrong... that blade should have burned him.

"Wondering why a weapon made to destroy undead didn't affect me?" Drakath asked. "I'm far stronger than that punny blade. And now more that I'm unleashing all my power. But at least you will know how I plan to deal with Alduin after I have dealt with you, Dovahkiin."

"Meridia will be pissed learning here is an undead resisting her artifact" she muttered while narrowing her eyes and her mind went to figure out HOW to reach that bones pile to scatter it to pieces.

"Now, let's end this!" Drakath said, waving his arm and making the dragon skull roar at her.

"Then come and die trying" she called back.

As an answer to her call, the large creature's hands aimed at her and began to send dark energy balls against her.

She dodged those balls and looked for a way to get it up to where she wants to be right now. Thought as she didn't see anything yet, she tried to shoot electricity to see if this has any effect.

Drakath grunted at that shock, but the large head roared at the same time as the two hands slammed the ground violently, causing an energy shockwave expanding from the hit areas, which forced her to jump over them to avoid the waves. As she jumped over those waves, she got close to the hands and jumped on the back of one.

Feeling like in one of those odd games she heard about before where she thought the motion of jumping upon the enemies back of the hand be a crazy one... and now she is trying that.

Sometimes she wonders which of the Aesir or Deadra is getting their laughs of her odd life.

Drakath saw her on one of the hands and made the other hand move to sweep her away. She timed it and jumped... unusually high avoiding the sweeping hand completely. Getting close to the head and flicked a dagger and tries to slam into it to use her daggers as climbing tools to get on top of it.

"You're full of resources, but they won't save you!" Drakath said as he began to summon fire dragon heads to send them against Charis while she was climbing on the large skull. Thought she was expecting it and propped her feet against the head... before jumping up to avoid one barrage and reposition to make it Drakath harder to aim at her. Until she finally managed to climb on top of it.

Staring at him she gave a snarl before rushing forward, both hands holding her swords.

The dracolich extended one of his skeletal wings with the intention to stab her with them. Having already expecting it, she rolled under it and slams her blade up, stabbing through the skull and the force behind it lifts Drakath up slightly to his surprise before she unleashed Unrelenting Force against his body.

The push of the attack sent Drakath flying away of the dragon skull, landing hard on the ground behind it. He struggled to stand up while the large dragon skull and hands began to crumble and turn into ashes while she jumped from it and landed close to him, but at certain distance in case he tried something.

"You... cursed bitch..." Drakath said, while his bones began to turn black. "You won this time... but you better wish I never come back. If I do, you or your descendants will pay... for what happened today..."

"Oh, just shut up for Akatosh sake" she snarled "I got so many death threats, you are only at the top 50" as she sheathed her blades being irritated by how persistent those undead were. But still ready in case he pulls one last bullshit move on her." Now begone so I can go and face Alduin."

"In that case, I will wait for you in the afterlife after he has dealt with you..."

With his last words, Drakath's skeletal body turned black and burst into black particles, disappearing completely. And with his demise, the whole area shifted to the return back to the ruins, while the black flames surrounding the portal began to extinguish.

Taking a deep breath, the Zeraora muttered "If this keeps up, I am going to be to dam tried to handle that dragon" and moves towards the gate "Well... Sovngarde. Ready or not, here I come" and jumps into the pillar of magic.

Unnoticed by her, Yol Jun Kriid was perched on top of the building watching her. He had arrived just before Drakath had pulled her into this odd pseudo realm and he couldn't enter it... but seeing Drakath's defeat he visibly relaxed and flaps his wings, flying off into the distance.

His mind already working toward the opportunities that mess opened up with.

Short time later...

Back at the hiding place, Yol moved towards Cross and told her "Drakath is dead. My daughter bested him in combat."

"Really?" Cross asked surprised, placing a hand on her head. "I'm surprised she was able to defeat him."

"She is a chosen one. And those chosen, either by fate, the Aesir or the Deadra are meant to fulfil great deeds." he explained to her "Not to mention she is wielding nearly 50 years of experience into the field of battle."

"I think I can believe in-" She was saying when her mind processed the last, he said. "Wait, 50 years?! I thought she was younger when I saw her!"

"Zeraora are slow aging" laughed Yol "Her mother and her aunt are roughly 200 years old by now."

"Okay, if you say so..." She said, scratching her head.

"So... I take you are taking your leave now?" wondered Yol "Or is there anything else you need to finish up?"

"Yeah, now that Drakath is dead again, my mission here has finished." She replied.

"Then this is goodbye" he nods "Well, given how fate operates I am certain we run into each other again." and looks at her "And you know... I really enjoyed our time together. A... novel experience. I don't mind if we repeat when we meet again."

"Yes, I wouldn't mind too." She said, rubbing his chin. "Who knows, maybe after I carry your child, maybe I can come to visit and... 'experiment' a little more with you."

"I'll make sure that you are known to be a guest in the future." he mused to her and gave her a small nuzzle as a goodbye.

She turned around to walk away, but then stopped, placing her hands on her hips.

"Oh, who cares!" She spoke. "The damage is done already." She then turned around. "Wouldn't you like a little parting session before I leave?" She gave him a wink.

He chuckles "Let's see what we can learn from each other, before leading her away to the nearest bed that can survive them.

She asked him while followed him. "By the way, do you know any word that would allow my body to take as many loads as you want without worrying you?"

"No... but we can try to find one" he mused to her with a chuckle.

She smiled and when they reached the bed, she took her clothes off and laid on the bed in a suggestive pose spreading her legs, inviting him to accompany her.

An invite he didn't even need and comes in with her.

And soon the entire complex was quite aware of what the master was doing, with the sound of his roars mixed with the loud yells of pleasure of a female.
