POV Rio
It had been just over 2 weeks since I summoned Molag Bal in Valhalla and I was heading to see the result of the battle. I enter Valhalla and see that most of the realm has been destroyed. The realm seemed to be merging the broken pieces back together. I moved to the only large land mass left. I can see a massive pit created on the southernmost side of the land mass. I look down at the bottom but see nothing but darkness.
'Okay, now where is Alduin?'
I spread my senses and I find him sleeping on the roof of the main hall. I can see he is covered in scars. Moreover, his life force has been reduced to around the strength he had when we first fought. Mabe slightly higher. I decide to take advantage of Alduins sleep and nock a Rose Of Sithis. I let loose the arrow and it hits the weakpoint.
Alduin: "ARRRRRGH! Who dares strike me!?"
I cast Armageddon - Good and created 30 Wood Clones. We then use several shouts at once.
Various: "KRII LUN AUS! RII VAAZ ZOL! FUS RO DAH! GAAN LAH HAAS! GOL HAH DOV! JOOR ZAH FRUL! DUR NEH VIIR!"
The attacks did what we wanted which was to force Alduin off the building. It also attacked his soul on several levels. 6 Clones are in charge of reapplying the shouts. Once Alduin is on the ground I use 2 out of 3 assist trophies to attack with the high-level Angels. The 2 beings summoned were Alucard and the Black Knight. I nod at them and they rush towards Alduin.
'Phase 1 complete.'
I start charging the attack I hope will be enough to kill Alduin. 6 clones are using attack spells. 6 are on defense. Another 6 are equipped with various artifacts. The last 6 are gathering a massive amount of Ki from this dimension and focusing it into a massive Ki attack. It will likely cause most plant life to die but it is a small price to pay to injure Alduin.
POV Alucard
Alduin: "Dovahkiin, you should not have come here. Nu hin sil dii."
After saying that he breathes a massive torrent of ice towards the Angels. I see he shoots his tail toward the armored fellow. I have to turn into a bat to avoid the fire breath. I then swoop down and slash at his right wing. I only managed to scratch the scales a bit.
'What in heaven's name is he made of?'
Unfortunately, that moment of distraction was all the dragon needed to smash me with his wing. I went flying. I felt my ribs shatter and my arms break.
'Ouch, that really hurt.'
It seems the dragon has decided to ignore me thinking I am dead.
'I guess he has never faced a Vampire before.'
I wait for a minute for my bones and flesh to regenerate before I jump right back into the fight. The dragon was distracted which allowed me to get in close and stab his right eye.
Alduin: "ARGGH! Hin sil fen nahkip bahloki."
My instinct tells me to dodge but I am too late. Suddenly I am pushed away. I look towards what saved me and see a lesser angel. I look around for my sword and see it is still lodged in the dragon's eye. I try summoning it back but it doesn't work.
'Guess I have to do this the old-fashioned way.'
POV Rio
I feel the Ki clones are done and I order everyone away mentally.
Ki Clones: "Spirit Galactic Cannon!"
A narrow but extremely bright seep purple beam of Ki hurtles towards Alduin.
BOOOOOOOOOM
Alduin manages to block the attack with his wings but not without them being reduced to bones. I can see his face is scalded as well.
Alduin: "You are persistent, Dovahkiin. Pruzah ol aar. A fine slave you would have made."
The Ki clones dispelled as they gave everything in that attack. I mentally tell everyone I still need more time. The first to respond is the last 3 remaining high-level Angels. All are around level 100. After them follows Alucard and the Black Knight. The Black Knight looks to be in bad shape.
Durnehviir: "I have reached my limit Dovahkiin. I shall return and await your victorious return."
Durnehviir vanished. I heard one of the clones nearby chanting.
Weapon Clone: "In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!"
A massive beam was shot out of the Blue Lantern Ring. It hit but only did minor damage against Alduin.
POV Black Knight
I saw an angel be chomped in half. I moved to cut my sword down in as heavy an attack as I could muster. I was heavily injured and exhausted. I knew I wasn't going to last more than another hit or two. My hit connected and cut the dragon's tail clean off. I had been working to remove it for this entire battle and I was proud I had taken the beast's tail.
Alduin: "Nivahriin joorre! You will suffer for wounding me!"
I saw fire burst from the dragon's maw and I tried to block it but I felt my armor melt and my flesh burn away. My last act of defiance was to throw my blade into the beast's maw.
POV Rio
I felt the Black Knight die but his sacrifice caused many injuries to Alduin. I see Alduin choke on the sword before it disappears with the summoned knight. Unfortunately, the last mage clone had dispelled. The Staff Of Ainz Ooal Gown had to stop attacking as it ran out of energy and daily uses. I was left with 3 Defense Clones, 2 Weapon Clones, 2 Shout Clones, 1 Angel, and Alucard.
'Hold him off for another couple of minutes.'
POV Alucard
I was told to hold him off for another couple minutes but I doubted I could manage that. It seemed they realized that as one of the wood copies came to assist me. They were wielding a sword made of a metal I had never seen before. The previous attacks managed to dislodge the sword enough that I could resummon it. I rushed to the left side while the wood one went left. The angel followed me.
Angel: "Holy Smite!"
I used the time that the attack blinded the dragon to attempt to stab the neck of the creature and release all the mana I had left in me. Unfortunately, I managed to hit but was bathed in the hottest fire I had ever experienced before I did much else.
POV Rio
I felt the Alcuard and the last Angel die and the clone followed soon afterwards. The last weapon Clone put away Auriel's Bow and instead pulled out a sword made of Uru and charged Alduin. A shout clone did the same. They managed to distract Alduin just long enough for my attack to finish. I had gathered every last bit of the Force I had in me and concentrated it into a massive blast of Force Lightning.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Alduin: "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Once I ran out of energy I nearly collapsed to the ground but I couldn't because I could sense Alduin was still alive. Barely but still alive nonetheless. What I saw of him was almost all skeleton. Only one of his eyes remained and his heart.
Alduin: "Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan!"
Rio: "No, you will end here. There is no escape for you Alduin."
Shout Clone: "JOOR ZAH FRUL!"
I grabbed a Senzu Bean and ate it. I felt refreshed and ready to use the last technique that would finish this once and for all. I gathered most of my Mana into a massive technique I learned from Jiraiya. A massive ball of Mana/Chakra is created.
Rio: "Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!"
The ball hits and Alduin is slowly vaporized. Once he is gone I use the Crystal Eyes to look for any remains but I don't have to look for long as the system says I killed Alduin and completed the quest. I also feel Alduins Soul start to be absorbed by me.

'Thank goodness he is gone. Now it's time to go home.'
I spread my senses to see if anyone was left, and I only detected Buri, who seemed to be in that magical trance still. I decided to leave for now.
-------------------
Authors Note:
Alduin is gone and unlike in Skyrim, he is gone for good. Also, Rio didn't use the last Assist Trophy because I know what it is and it wouldn't have fit the Atmosphere of the fight. The Lord Of Dragons Title will make it so Dragons will be at a bare minimum neutral to Rio. So in other words Rio could walk up to Ophis from DxD and talk as equals even though she is likely stronger than Rio. The stronger Rio gets the more unlikely it is that Dragon Gods can ignore his orders and the stronger the debuff that is applied. His orders are also not seen as an attack so it won't turn dragons hostile nor will the debuff.
