Michael sourly tosses the mangled Frost Giant skull up and down in his hand as he and the others walk towards an icy river that was directly under the Temple of Auriel.
"Are you still mad at me killing that thing?" Saeko humorously asks.
"Mad? No, just disappointed..."
"That won't work on me, it didn't work for my father and it wouldn't for you." she states with folded arms.
"You had a shitty father too? Maybe we're best friends after all!" Serana snarks at the side.
Michael tosses the skull over his shoulder and into the snow, "Alright, let's stop playing around and fight these dragons. I'll take one while you take the others... Also, stay off of the ice, neither of you can fight underwater so don't risk it." he states and the duo nod.
With that, he takes one step onto the ice covering the lake and-
*CRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSHH!*
*SPLLAAAASSH!*
Two huge dragons smash two large whole in the ice as they fly out from the water, destabilising the rest of the surface and leaving huge splintering cracks. If it wasn't already perilous to walk on, it certainly was now.
"DIR, VOLAAN!" both dragons roars simultaneously, just as Serana fires a lightning bolt at one, hoping to draw its attention away so Michael could focus on the other... Unfortunately, these weren't like the mindless in the game, these were intelligent, twin dragons, who had fought side by side for countless centuries.
They fly upwards for a time, circling each other in a sort of spiral before they both turn and begin diving towards Serana, side by side.
"AUS JOOR!" they roar and start to breathe fire, "YOL-" but are interrupted as a blur slams into one of them...
"Not so tough when your enemy can fly, huh!?" Michael exclaims as he presents his smoking, bloodied first that'd just punched a dragon straight in the face, or snout if you want to be specific. At his back were his icy wings gifted by Auroth, which when combined with [Convection] allowed him almost the same freedom in the air as the dragons themselves.
The one he'd punched slams into the icy surface below, submerging underwater as the other turns with a fierce glare. "BO LIR! ZU'U WAH BONAAR HI!" (FLYING WORM! ALLOW ME TO HUMBLE YOU!) "VEN GAAR NOS!" it shouts, causing a powerful wind to form underneath Michael and vacuum him downwards. He tries to resist it but he wasn't nearly strong enough in the air to resist the pull, throwing him to the ground with great force.
He ends up under the ice like the other dragon, and just as his eyes adapt to the underwater environment he spots the beast rapidly swimming towards him like an enraged crocodile. It tries to bite him, but he responds with a kick to its chin which forces its head upwards, slamming its snout into the bottom of the icy surface of the lake, actually cracking it from the force.
Unfortunately, this world didn't work like Michael expected, allowing the dragon to look down at him and shouts "FOH KRAH DIIN!"
Instantly, all of the water around him freezes solid, locking him in place and attempting to suck his stamina dry from the innate effect of frost magic... It doesn't do much considering his ice affinity and inheritance from Auroth, so other than locking him in place he takes little to no damage.
[Despersion] also activates, reflecting a portion of the damage he would've taken had his resistances not blocked it. His skin and flesh around his arms turn purple with a shadowy aura momentarily as a tendril of the strange magic leaps at the dragon, striking it in the forehead as it smugly glours at him.
Aright, let's try that again.
*CRACK!*
He flexes his muscles and burst out from his icy prison, kicking off of the water from solid footholds he'd created with his [Vanntalfdir] runes. "Again!" his shout is distorted by the water as he uses sends yet another punch with [Wynningbaldr] this time.
*KRRAAK!*
The scales on its face splinter and flake away under the force of his strike, his runes only multiplying the damage dealt. Its head whips back with incredible force, crashing through the surface of the frozen lake and leaving its head slumped out of the water while it attempts to recover its senses.
While it was recovering from the mind-boggling punch, Michael finally draws Derflinger and dashes towards its unprotected stomach...
*PUCHHI!*
*SLIIIIIK!*
*ROOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!*
Derflinger's blade easily bypasses the giant lizard's scales, thrusting deeply into its stomach as Michael pulls it horizontally, splaying its blood and guts out and dying the water red. The dragon thrashes around in agony, but isn't able to do anything as Michael slips his hand into the wound and stabs Derflinger straight up into its heart.
DRAGON SOUL GET!

Earlier :
After Michael is slammed under the frozen lake, the dragon turns its attention toward Saeko and Serana, "SOS AHRK DINOK! YOU WILL PERISH WITH YOUR COMPANION, MORTALS! YOL TOOR SHUL!"
"Behind me!" Saeko exclaims as she pushes past Serana, knowing well that vampires were very vulnerable to fire. "BHEI!" she shouts, slashing in front of her and halting the breath for a moment, she slashes against and splits it, allowing it to bypass the duo.
Once the fire was cleared they were greeted with the sight of the dragon diving toward them at great speeds. Serana steps forward this time, conjuring a spell with both hands before launching it and firing a huge spear of ice. It was far larger than its base spell entails, being almost as big as a small cart...
This forces the dragon to divert its flight to avoid it, slowing it down enough for Saeko to make a move. It swoops past and tries to swipe Serana with its wing, but Saeko pushes her out of the way and leaps upwards with Suekue, allowing her to grab ahold of the dragon's extended wing.

Her hand grips the scaling tip of its wing as it flies past, almost wrenching her arm out of its socket from the sudden change in momentum. Somehow she manages to keep ahold of her blade as she does this, but the dragon instantly notices her presence and makes efforts to throw her off.
It spins in the air, performing barrel rolls, abrupt twists, and once even breathing fire at its own limb... Fortunately, she's able to duck out of its view and use its own body as cover from the fire.
Once she gets more accustomed to the flight, she focuses on the wing itself, the building muscles and tendons underneath its scales. She's become well versed with the physiology of many animals during her time with the Companions and in Hammerfell, allowing her to easily locate the vital areas of the limb.
She rears her sword back and stabs it just under the bone, severing the tendons and allowing the dragon to extend and contract its wing. As soon as she starts to make the cut-
*SNNNAAAP!*
Like a rope under immense pressure, the tendon snaps with great force, causing the wing to contract in on itself and sending the dragon unwillingly spinning through the air as it tries to regain control.
Saeko ends up being flung from the dragon, sending her spinning through the air without any means of controlling her unintentional flight. She sheathes her sword and spread her arms out to mimic a parachute, buying her more time to solve her problem.
This also allows her to watch as the dragon crashes into the cliff face below the Temple of Auriel, the sound of bones and scales breaking from the impact has her wincing in pity, but that was soon replaced with satisfaction as it slumps against the floor, writhing in pain.
Something catches her eye, and just as she's about to slash at it the thing barrel into her...
"Shame dogs can't fly." Serana remarks in her Vampire Lord form, flapping her anorexic wings despite the fact that they wouldn't work without magic being involved.
"Dogs can bring down dragons though." Saeko huffs in response.
"Just be quiet and let me have this... Also, should we help Michael out? He's been underwater for a while no-"
*CRASH!*
A dragon's head gets shoved through the ice and stays frozen there in a daze.
"Nevermind..."
"Let's get down there and finish our dragon off! Let's sees the look on his face when we beat him to it!" Saeko presses.
"Fine..." she says dropping Saeko not far from where the dragon had landed and returning to her human form.
Hearing them arrive, the dragon looks up from where it's huddled and growls, attempting to get up and half-failing as it puts weight on its broken wings, almost face planting... "Sahlo ulfah, Zu'u fen ag hi fah daar!"(Weak creatures, I will burn you for this!)
Saeko sniffs and drops into a stance, ready to perform a draw-cut with her katana. "I don't know what you said, but I assume it was along the lines of 'You are weak, I am better'. Which doesn't make sense given our positions."
The dragon growls in a rage at her words, "WULD NAH KEST!" it shouts using Whirlwind Sprint catching Saeko off guard at the stupidly effective strategy...
For regular human-sized enemies, them slamming into you at hundreds of miles of hour wouldn't do much to the superhuman inhabitants of Tamriel... But a dragon?
*SLLLAAM!*
Saeko's reactionary attack is rendered null as the dragon's body slams directly into her at ridiculous speeds. It's as if she'd thrown herself onto a highway only used by Semi-trucks... Needless to say, her sword is blasted out of her hand and skitters along the ice while her body is almost flattened as she's sent on a short flight.
She lands with a squelch due to most of her bones being shattered, and her flesh already all bruising... The only light in this tunnel was the fact she was unconscious, allowing her reprieve from the pain she'd undoubtedly be feeling...
"S-Saeko!?" Serana exclaims in surprised horror, never having expected the dragon to do something so random yet powerful. She runs over to her, ignoring the crippled dragon for the time being.
Meanwhile, said dragon was looking over at its twin which had its head slumped to the side with lifeless eyes... Michael was crawling out of the water, slick with its brethren's blood... "Krivaan do dii fron, hi fen aus ourbos erei hi los filanni bolaav prife ko dinok!"(Murderer of my kin, you will suffer endlessly until you are finally granted reprieve in death!) it roars, the winds picking up as it continues to speak. "VOS HIN SIL AG!" (LET YOUR SOUL BURN!)
Michael had just clambered out from the ice when fire explodes around him, the raging inferno quickly enveloping him in its grasp, attempting to burn him entirely... He quickly Blinks out of the way, but the flames follow, so instead, he casts Cold Embrace, encasing himself in powerful ice that blocks the attack for the most part.
Derflinger assists as well, using his Frost Breath shout to enforce the ice and prevent it from melting, his voice seemingly having a far better effect than a mere change in temperature would imply.
The crippled dragon attempts to continue its attack, but has its head snapped to the side by Serana who'd fired a lightning bolt into its cheek.
*Thud!*
A shadowy foot slams atop its head, bringing the beast to the ground as Darth tries to keep it there. He's somehow successful too, allowing Michael to escape from the ice and stab Derflinger into the beast's neck, killing it.
"Fucking dragons always pulling shit outta their ass..." he half mutters and sighs before looking over to his friends, then Saeko who'd been grievously injured.
