Khan & The Wolfhound



Khan barely even registered the bullets whirling through her. She simply looked up to see a fool with an AK, not realizing that her current form was obviously intangible, firing on her. You'd have to be a fool to think that would work. He ran off, likely fearing that her wrath would be turned to him. Thankfully - for him that is - she had no interest in him. She continued to float down, until her gaseous feet hit the ground. She turned back into mist, then aimed her grenade launcher at the desk.

"Stand up, and die on your feet, you roachfucker! I wanna hear you scream!"

The Wolfhound sidled back as the bullets rained through the aproaching specter. His arm screamed in protest at every jerk. His back came to rest agianst the wall behind the receptionist's desk as he heard Khan's booted feet hit the ground. He was bleeding from a dosen cuts and scrapes inside his armor despite even the fall not penetrating the outer layer. He felt like a bag of wet gravel.

"Come back here and get me you bitch, I don't stand for just any piece of shit." The shit eating grin was audible in his voice.

"Fine, fucker." Khan said with a satisfying grin on her face. She aimed her M23 at the desk Martin was resting behind and pulled the trigger once. The grenade shot out at high speeds, then blew the desk in half in a earsplitting explosion. Shards and scraps of wood started flying everywhere as Khan walked through it. Unaffected by the fire she had started. She stared Martin down, and pointed her grenade launcher at him.

"Look at you," Khan started off, "Suicide would have been easier, fucker."

"There's one thing you ought to know Khan...."

The Wolfhound sprang to his feet with murderous intent. His good right hand slaming into Khan's throat and tearing her round in a single smooth motion that terminated with the back of her head on the beautifuly polished marble wall.

"...A WOUNDED DOG!"

The bridge of his helmet slamed into her face and his arm came, throat in hand to shake the doorframe with her skull giving a sickening crack. Blood flowed freely down both his face and her's.

"NEVER DIES QUIETLY!"

The black gloved hand swung round with the bloody leader in tow. The sound of her neck meeting the corner of what was left of the once handsome desk reverberated through what seemed like an oddly quiet space.

The Wolfhound released his grip. Throught his one eye unclosed by blood he saw the result of his work. And he saw that it was good.

Khan let out a scream with every blow done to her body. Her eyes were blurry, and there was a pain like no other rocked through his body. She couldn't take it anymore, she tried to defend, but she was just too weak. The second her neck hit the corner of the desk, everything went dark... heh... they always said there'd be a light at the end, but there was only darkness. Probably because of all the things she done. Her body laid limp on the ground - with one victor standing over top of her.

The Wolfhound.

It didn't take long for the Fiends to notice. One caught sight of her dead body, and yelled, "Khan is dead!" So loudly that it could be heard up several forms.

And the rest of the Fiends carried the message. "Khan is dead!" echoed over and over through the halls of the NEST HQ. Many of the Fiends just gave up there. Either throwing down their weapons, and throwing themselves recklessly at the remaining NEST Agents.

Those that still had a will to live simply made a break for it.

However, over the scene a large shadow was cast. Looking up, a large chunk of concrete was floating down into the lobby. Quickly. Other NEST Agents were converging on the scene, too.

The courus broke the Wolfhound from his reverie. The cage was decending and he had no intention of being inside when it snaped closed. Ripping his flashbangs from his carrier and flinging them around the room. Bolting for the door to the underground he leant over to let his left hand press the detonators on his right forearm without having to lift his left. It hurt like a bitch regardless.

The passage was much the same though somewhat bloodier than before. What Fiends were left and not still fighting were trying to escape the same way they had entered. He could hear the sounds of agents trying to rally through the effects of the flashbangs and make pusuit.

The walls changed to tunnel as he pounded toward the junction, his arm screaming with every jerk and bump. At the junction he shakely pulled out the last of his charges and affixed them to the tunnel walls using his vision to make sure they would be effective. The Fiends were to buisy running to pay even the least attention. Jogging down the junction a way he lent over again to press the detonator with his left hand.

He was deaf to the sound of the explosion between his helmet and the pounding of his blood in his ears he could only watch as the ceiling came down on the heads of the Fiends trapping many between the rocks and the NEST headquaters.

As his breathing slowed Martin trudged back to the grate where he stashed his clothes. Gingerly he stripped with one arm and pulled his civies back on. The ride home would be slow and in first gear. Somehow he suspected he'd manage it without getting a ticket.

Not a super great post on my part but progress.
Malek turned to the sister, cybernetic eyes passing over the squad. The HUD contained within locking to equipment and presenting pattern and mark for analysis as standard. “Greetings Celestian, I had considered such a plan but was concerned that the engines may only exacerbate or spread the fire to nearby buildings. If you believe it can be done however you are quite welcome to try. Though shouting will be unnecessary. I have taken the liberty of re-encrypting your communications channel to prevent access to the back door I used to listen in. Those of you without Theta rank comm beads will find some in the hold of the valkyrie.”

He continued on with the flames flickering across his near featureless head seeming to make his eye lenses glow amongst the olive drab of the surrounding steel. “I have the mass required to move though the building despite the power of the turbines furthermore I am equipped with servo arms that can easily clear blockages and a repair mechadendrite containing a small extinguisher. Furthermore I have nothing to fear from smoke inhalation or even a lack of oxygen. If the valkyrie can suppress the worst of the blaze I can weather the rest. There should also be a fire extinguisher in the Valkyrie’s hold.”

“Regardless of how we go about it, our actions should be swift lest our goal be consumed.”

At this the Tech Priest approached the building seeming not to feel the flames on the exterior of the building. Standing to one side of the door his right servo arm pushed the nearest door off its ailing hinges. Once the back blast had raced past he manipulated two fallen beams to prop the doorway open.
Heh heh yeah on all counts.
Now lets be careful how we phrase things also i didn't kill any of em. Little miss vortex. heh heh heh.
WOOOO. Why am I the least destructive?
Not even dynamic.
As Malek looked up from his work, guiding the other adepts in their works he noticed the feed from his servo skulls. He noticed the Inquisitor’s party seemed to be in the middle of a pitched battle between rioters and arbites. “How did…nevermind. Adepts, finish your assigned task and return to regular duties, I must leave”.

Malek made his way to the vehical bays and approached one of the engineseers there. “I require a fully equipped valkyrie in the next five minutes.”

“By the Omnissiah I don’t know who you people think you are to believe you can take such…”

Malek turned and bowed slightly to better show the Techsorcist sigil on the shoulder of his massive robe.

“Oh… of course. Bay delta four oh seven.”

“My thanks Engineseer.” Malek’s steel shod feet echoed their way down the hanger toward the aforementioned bay.

“Damn black hoods” the enginseer muttered once he thought Malek was out of earshot.

In bay delta four oh seven sat a crimson valkyrie with servitors detaching fuel lines and an adept finishing the pre-flights. Wordlessly entering the hold Malek stowed his autocannon in one of the seats and proceeded to the cockpit. Rolling the seat back as far as it would go he knelt in the gangway and connected his MIU to the machine to commune directly with the machine spirit. Finding the aggressive spirit satisfied with its condition the bay’s klaxon sounded and red lights span as the great bay doors opened.

The powerful Imperial engines flared and hurtled the shuttle from its moorings into the hive proper. Tearing through the airways between the sparkling spires an enforcer land speeder started to pursue before thinking better of examining what a speeding mechanicus valkyrie was doing loaded for bear.

The machine responded well as is to be expected of the immaculately maintained standards of the mechanicus. The Dual twin linked bolter turrets tracked targets with little prompting and the rocket pods showed a full complement. It would serve. The speed and expediency of flight brought the craft to the inferno with great haste. It seems an armoured vehicle had joined the fate of the brothel and the rioters were fully out of hand.

Descending to a hight only a few stories above the street Malek strafed the rioters with the wash from the valkyrie’s engines scattered and broke the cohesion of the mob. The powerful buffeting forced the crowd into smaller groups that would either soon run or be apprehended by the nearby arbite line. Even now they broke into squads to crush the few remaining belligerents into submission as they are so well trained to do.

Having cleared the necessary space to land the valkyrie comes to rest in the street outside the burning building casting a storm of detritus and dust around it. Ordering the hold’s door to descend he disconnects from the machine commending it for its true service. Walking down the gangway Malek emerged from the hold to survey the scene.

Noticing the Inquisitor Malek approached “I am Techsorcist Malek, my superiors have commanded me to lend you my assistance in any way you see fit”. At this Malek pulled the robe from his bulky frame revealing his armor plated exterior and mechadendrites. “I believe you expressed interest in gaining entry to this building?”
Is this it for our intrepid psudo-hero? Will Khan get her vengance? What response will the titanic battle between warriors ilicit?

The Wolfhound




Damn this place was a mess. The fighting was pushing further and further into the building. No doubt the freak lieutenants were acting as breakers and throwing NEST forces into disarray. Blood splattered the walls at seemingly random intervals with chunks of unidentified matter strewn around. A pair of gardening sheers pinned a dead agent to the wall. He’d probably never look at gardening tools the same way again. For all the carnage the trail was warm, it seemed like the queen freak was headed to the detention center. Probably trying to liberate one of their comrades.

So close to the target it would be prudent to start wearing down the number of Fiends able to support their leaders. The Wolfhound slung his rifle onto his back with the launcher and drew his pistol. He swapped the rounds out for subsonic variants and screwed on a suppressor. Looking around he saw the sign pointing to the detention center. One floor up.

The Wolfhound picked his way over the bodies and climbed stairs two at a time. There was a pair of Fiends on the landing of his floor. With two coughing sounds the pair slumped. Not a lot of fanfare, good. Shit like this should die quietly. Stepping over the new entrees to Hades he sliced the pie into the hallway. He growled in frustration. A group of Fiends were clustered around a door just past his position. So much for the silent approach.

The Wolfhound pulled a concussion grenade off his vest. A lazy underhand throw around the corner carried it down the hall. He waited for the clink, “what th” before pressing the button on his forearm.
BANG
He approached the scene.

The moans of the few that survived with broken bones and impromptu amputations were cut short by the muted cough of the pistol. Standing in the middle of the carnage he slid the mag out of his pistol and returned it to it’s pouch. Replacing it with a new mag he racked the slide and slipped the safety back on, returned to its holster he un-slung the rifle. Not much work for a discrete weapon today it seemed.

He advanced, posture hunched and fully ready for a stand up sit down fight. He could practically taste his kill nearby. He left a broken hallway with flickering lights and mixed scorch marks with blood in his wake.

Turning a corner the hallway opened out into a larger area in front of the DC. The NEST forces here were done, their hasty barricades between the pillars were smoldering wreaks. Flames licked the walls and corpses littered the floor some reduced to little more than a pulpy mass. The Fiends were decimated here other than a small group heading toward the DC’s fortified door. They turned surprised at the unusual armored newcomer.

Shit”. One of the female Fiends was Burnmark and another was Khan. BUT WHICH WAS FUCKING WHICH. One of them screamed a warning and the group wheeled to face him, debris starting to raise into the air and mist forming and swirling around the group. “FUCKIT”. The Wolfhound raised his rifle and squeezed the trigger. Two deadly rounds ripped the air apart to reach their target and a gout of blood and bone and muscle tore from one of the woman’s back.

The debris dropped to the floor immediately.“Shit”. Khan screamed an insult and dove behind a pillar firing off a round from her launcher. The wolfhound likewise leapt behind a pillar as the 40mm grenade struck the ceiling, raining assorted crap into the room.

The Wolfhound’s blood ran thick with adrenaline, face locked in a slasher smile he barked out “KHAN YOU BITCH YOU’RE ALREADY DEAD, YOU JUST DON’T KNOW IT YET.”

The smoke and dust swirled and swept past with the settling rubble. If war is a symphony then this was a duet.
