Battle Against the Hedonites Part 2: Ruthless Agression
(General POV)
Location the Warhammer Old World-Norsca, the Lands of Vargs/Outside of Doomkeep Ruins Battlefield; Dark Legion Vs Hedonites & Daemons of Slaanesh
Ixion and Whiptail soared at the Greater Daemon of Slaanesh that was leading the slaaneshi reinforcements onto the battlefield.
The Keeper of Secret, rised his spear and his upper purple colored crab claws at Ixion, forming a brutal deathlock between the two leaders of these Chaos aligned armies, the slaaneshi greater daemon was about to gloat at his opponent's weak and ungrateful attack when the Chaos Lord's daemonic blade started cutting into claws' hardshell.
Causing daemonic purple blood, to start trickling down those claws, shocking the Keeper of Secret as this never happens to one of their level when facing an opponent wielding a bladed weapon, (it actually lore accurate that slaaneshi shelled body parts, are near impossible to cut with exceptions, one has to smash them or cutoff the limb in the flesh areas.) before it loses it magnificent claws, the Keeper of Secret, pushed back with all the strength he could muster, barely managing to do so against Ixion and Whiptail.
This made both Khornes from the Warp and Fantasy please at the suffering and shock that a pleasure daemon suffer against real warriors.
As Khorne commented inside the avatar, to tear, beat, burn and destroy the weak slaaneshi daemon, Tzeentch only thought his brother a savage, while Nurgle just laughed at the situation.
All the while Laharl told them, "As much as I like this brotherly banter between us...we have much important things to do, brothers." getting them to focus back on the Greate Slaaneshi Daemon, that was circling them with a suave step on his movement, all the while having his guard up and focused on Ixion, looking for any openings that they'll never give to an enemy...no a victim.
Pulling on Whiptail's mane, he turned the manticore and pounce at Keeper of Secret again.
The Daemonhosts were fighting alongside the Dark Legion's Giants, Dragon Ogres and Chaos Mammoths under the daemon prince, Kholek Suneater were clashing against some of the slaaneshi reinforcements.
Kholek with his giant warhammer, was smashing and crushing all the Dark Princess lesser neverborn, without any issues with the giants swing their weapons, or fist, or chaotic gifts at the daemonettes, viciously and bloody killing all the slaaneshi daemons at their feet, one carnage giant impaled a daemonette with his massive mutated claw arm, and as the daemonette struggle in pain and pleasure in the claws of the giant, the Carnage Giant brought her up to his mouth, biting off and eating the she-daemon's head.
Tossing away the fading corpse of the daemonette, he and the other Titanomachy giants, were causing major amount of damage to these daemonettes.
All the while the three type of daemonhosts, were sweeping up what remains.
The Blood-Drinkers lead by Lady Skarlet, were finishing their fight against the entirety of the beasts of Slaanesh, (Fiends) and as Skarlet did a dual downward palm thrust directed to the snowy ground, causing the blood witch's powers to burst fort.
Bursting in a massive wave of razor-sharp blood made spikes and spears impaling and killing hundreds of slaaneshi daemons, invigorating the Blood-Drinkers under her command, in a sensual laugh, Skarlet then started making hand gestures, causing the spikes to break and float around her, as she said, "Blood is the greatest power. Offer your souls to the mighty Blood God, and give me your blood." her words actually intimidating the daemonettes, as they were thinking twice on attacking Skarlet.
Only for Skarlet to strike first, thrusting our her arms and sending all her floating blood spears at the slaaneshi daemons, impaling many of these she-daemons some weren't as fortunate of experience this new painful sensation, for they died from fatal wounds, while the lucky ones weren't only struck by Skarlet's spears but as soon as they pierced their flesh the blood forcibly enter their bodies and cause unbelievable pain throughout their blood-systems.
Which actually made these she-daemons more eager to fight against Skarlet, who has a look of disgust on her masked face as she ready her blade and get into fighting stance, as hundreds wounded and non-wounded daemonettes rush towards her.
In another part of the battle, Dullahan was cutting, stabbing, and dismembering all that challenged the great knight of Carnage, as a couple of the hedonite painbringers charged at him with their gilded armors, purple loincloth and accessories with their slaaneshi mutation clearly shown in their bald horned, and mouth with rows razor-sharp teeth in a twisted smile, at the thought of challenging and killing such a warrior, which will be another accomplishment, and show of their perfection in the sword.
Dullahan seeing these glory seeking fools, decided to end them all in one blow, rising his soul blade to the air, pointing it to the gray skies as the wails and whines of the souls of those trapt into the weapons of the Dullahan, they gather into the tip of the violet colored soul blade, and then from the tip of Dullahan's blade a beam of souls the color of violet and maroon bursts fort, (the Dullahan's soul beam attack but in Laharl's sacred colors) lowering the blade in a straight downward swing, firing his beam into the painbringers utterly destroying their bodies and assimilating their souls into the soul weapons.
Dullahan swung the beam side to side killing the soo called elites of the Hedonites with utter ease, as they were oblirated by the meer touch of the soul-beam of Dullahan, which forced the hedonites to backstep and retrink on engaging the forces of the New God.
The Decarabia took this opportunity to hurl the weakest widespread fire spell of Maragi, onto these mortals.
Never experiencing this form of spellcraft from the Lore of Fire, along what they assume to be spells from the Lore of Heavens that they suffered before, (Megido) their Chaos Sorceror commanded the frontlines to disengage and target another enemy force, should they fail the anger of the Godslayer would be unimaginable upon them.
That's when their Lord of Hubris, struck the sorceror calling him a coward, and balley his order he was about to attack Dullahan and his forces again, when the khornate forces were pushing through the daemons of Slaanesh, which were retreating back to the Hedonites.
Leading the Blood-Drinkers, was Skarlet holding a razor-sharp short blade in a reverse grip, and was chasing after the daemonettes and fiends, seeing the leader of the khornate brutes and daemons, was a red haired and masked woman of unbelievable beauty has attracted the Lord of Hubris, as he smiled and made his way towards her.
He tried to flaunt his masculinity and perfect visage to Skarlet, to charm and seduce her, to turn her into his willing slave and concubine under the Dark Princess' delicious embrace of sensation, excess, sex, and other raptures.
All this caused was utter disgust and ballistic rage in the khornate witch/assassin, so Skarlet said, "Disgusting worm. I challenge you to kombat, prove your at least worth of bleeding in the Blood God's name." both insulted and angered, the Lord of Hubris, performed intricate swordplay like the peacock that these hedonite champions are known to be, finishing his display saying, "I offered your pleasure, and endless cacophony. Now all you'll experience in humiliation, pain, defeat, and death under my feet." both kombatants stood some distance from one another in their stance.
Skarlet with his blade at hand as her arm was bended over her chest vertically, her other arm stretched and her legs separated and slightly bend, while her opponent stood tall and proud without any chestplate or care.
His scimitar like blade was held in a low stance in his right hand near his waistline, his shield was slightly covering his pectoral area, as his purple multi-plume blowed in the cold winds.
[Author Note: this fight between Skarlet, and the Lord of Hubris will be as close as I can get it to MK style. Please comment if you'll want this type of match-ups when the Chaos Gods invade the Mortal Kombat world. Or if I should continue with the normal warfare style story for when they invade MK?]
With both kombatants ready, there battle began with his arrogance the hedonite rushed in with a swift downward sword-swing, only to completely miss Skarlet as she used her [Bloodport] move, to teleport behind him.
Getting the first hit in the fight, with a strong high side kick, followed by a strong high kick to the back of her opponent's head knocking him away (koagulation combo) then as he was still in the air, she fire a straight fast blood projectile she calls her, [Bloodshot].
The Hedonite grunted in sweet pain, as he stood back up, and charged at Skarlet with a leaping slash which she easily blocked, performing a swift combination of slashes some nicking Skarlet but cause no real damage, so the Hedonite goes for a full-strength thrust attack, which Skarlet backsteped and crotched under.
Retaliating with a vicious, uppercut that crushed the Hedonite's lower jaw causing fractures, blood to spew from his mouth along with some teeth.
Launched into the air by the strike, she didn't relent summoning a blood like whip lashing her opponent in a rising lash and quickly followed up with a low horizontal sweep, (quick transfusion combo) immediately she summoned a tentacle of blood in the air, being called the [Blood Tentacle] swiping at hedonite, as she didn't stop her assault yet.
A blood scythe was formed in her hands and she swung it at her opponent, smashing him into the snow.
Slamming her hands onto the ground, causing a trail of blood to spurt and trail straight at the still down hedonite, this was her [Blood Trail] technique, hitting again her enemy.
Struggling to stand up, once back on his feet the hedonite roared and insulted Skarlet, letting his anger and injured pride to guide his swordplay, this sword dance that the Lord of Hubris was using, was uncoordinated and rough only meant to kill, he managed to land of couple hits and finished the onslaught with a brutal shield charge, that hit Skarlet straight in the face.
Spitting large amount of blood as she was thrown across the snow, when the hedonite rushed in once close, Skarlet immediately responded with a brutal straight kick to the hedonite's chin, (Bloody Boot) knocking him to the air, and while the hedonite was still in mid-air Skarlet channeled her power to amplify one of her move, as a huge amount of blood burst from her in a dome shape, [Blood Splatter] blasting the hedotine away from her and cause as much damage that she could.
Once her opponent was up she swipe a blood whip at his face, followed with several dagger slashs and ending with a blood spear stab that went through the Hedonite, as he scream and bleed in pain.
Not stopping she continued attacking with several slashes and kicks, then she grabbed the Lord of Hubris, teleporting behind him and stabbing her dagger onto his shoulder and drain his blood painfully, at the same time healing some of the damage she'd suffered, then Skarlet quickly pulled out her dagger and stab again her opponent. [Dagger Dance]
It was clear that Skarlet wasn't the only one standing, but clearly the most skilled and capable of this fight...the Lord of Hubris, started to stand up but clearly dizzy and clearly beaten, so Skarlet decided to finish her opponent.
Skarlet thrusted out her arm, and focused on her blood magik onto her victim focusing on the blood-cells on her enemy's body, and pull it, pull it all the blood out the Lord of Hubris, a very painful experience and all that blood was being drunk by Skarlet, a slow fatality/brutality based off her Cell Siphon technique, at the end she won.
Fead quite well, the power of the Blood God, protect her from any of the other Ruinous Powers corruption, so all she'd taste was sweet, magic rich blood, standing over the exsanguinated body, she said, "Skarlet wins. Flawless victory." this display of violence and bloodshed, feed the bloodlust and hunger of violence on the Blood-Drinkers and Blood Daemons surrounding her.
Meanwhile the Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, attacked again Ixion/Tzeentch focused his psychic power through the avatar to telekinetically blast the Greater Daemon away, unmounted Whiptail and ordering him to leave them to deal with the slaaneshi greater daemon on their own.
The Keeper of Secret, got back on his feet and shuke off the snow on his luscious, purplish pink clothing, it was clearly annoyed that a mortal was toying and overpowering him, as he saw the human walking towards him, snorting he stood back up, shaking off the kinks and knots off and started strutting back towards Ixion.
Once again they've clashed, as the Keeper of Secret was swinging his spear at Ixion, only to be blocked without difficulty, which enraged the Keeper of Secret.
So he thrusts his two slaaneshi crab-claws at Ixion, next only for Khorne to instruct the avatar, to rush in within the Keeper of Secret's blind spot making his claws stab into the snow, missing Ixion completely.
Now he was on the front of the slaaneshi daemon, before the Greater Daemon could react, Khorne made Ixion grab one of the goat-like horn and pull down the Keeper of Secret to meet the knee of the avatar, smashing and breaking the slaaneshi daemon's face.
Bleeding and grunting in pain, as Khorne wasn't done, he then made Ixion, straight kick him away.
Ixion stood there, as the Greate Daemon snorted and coughed up blood from his nose and mouth, despite not being able to see his face, he knew that Ixion has broke his beautiful face...ignited in huge levels of rage, as he stood up again and roared at Ixion, making the Blood God especially happy inside of Ixion.
The Chosen of the Gods and the Keeper of Secret were circling each other before, as Khorne spoke through Ixion, "Disappointing. Just a peacock, not a warrior. Your skull would be unworthy for the Blood God." again the Keeper of Secret was insulted, and yell at Ixion, "You miserable little gnat!!! How dare you insult me!!!? One of the chosen and greatest of the Dark Princess!!!!? Your pain shall be never ending, come and prostrate yourself to me!!!!!"
Keeper of Secret, ran straight at Ixion fueled and blinded by rage, allowing the Warp Gods to easily end this duel...they swung at one another, and ran pass each other, with Ixion/Warp Gods having achieved their target...the slaaneshi daemon's legs.
Ixion cut them both off, as the Keeper of Secret, grunted in pain and fell onto the snow unable to stand or walk anymore.
Before he could try to retaliate, Laharl use one of his lore's casting his [Grasp of Laharl] summoning a giant shadow claw to grab and hold the Keeper of Secret in place.
It was time to end the battle, the Warp Gods made Ixion walk over to the bound daemon, throwing insults and swearing that he'll return and hunt them down...the barking of fangless mutt, in the ears of the Warp Gods...once standing next, to the Keeper of Secret the Warp Gods made the avatar grab both hands onto the Hellbane, and lift the daemonic sword over their avatar's head...and swung.
Beheading and killing the Greater Slaaneshi Daemon, canceling the [Grasp of Laharl] allowing the corpse to drop and bleed onto the Norscan snow, picking up the head of the fading Greater Daemon, presenting their victory in this duel.
