Chapter 17 - rage

POV: Zogsnappa da Shoota Boy

Everything wuz green, loud, an' full o' blood just da way Zogsnappa liked it. Dakka roared from his shoota, brass casings flyin', bugs explodin' like snot-filled squigs on a hot day.

But den…

He saw 'im.

Not a Warboss. Not a Weirdboy. Kael. Da hoomie-ork boss Da zoggin' Bug-Krumpa.

Kael stomped out da drop pod like Gork himself, wearin' sum mad-lookin' armor made of welded plates, glowy bits, and scrap from ten dead meks. One arm was a Killa Klaw, buzzin' louder than a squig in a meat grinder. Da other? A choppa so massive it looked like he stole it from a Killa Kan an' made it personal.

A wall o' bugs swarmed him. No fear. No 'esitation.

SCHLORK! One got cleaved in half, innards flyin' like sqig intestines .

KRUNCH! Da Killa Klaw grabbed a big one by the skull and squeezed till its brains popped like a grot zit.

Zogsnappa blinked.

"WOT DA ZOG!? He'z krumpin' 'arder den a Dread

Bug limbs flew in every direction. Kael got stabbed through da side — right through da ribs. Blood sprayed, but instead o' fallin', he roared like a squig in heat and headbutted da bastard so hard its neck folded backwards.

Zogsnappa swore he saw green lightning flash behind Kael's eyes.

One bug pounced. Kael caught it mid-air. With a flex of his arms he ripped its head off and threw it at another like a meat baseball.

"GORK AN' MORK, DAT'S OUR BOSS!"

Da boyz near him stopped shootin' just to watch.

Kael waded deeper into da swarm, covered in ichor an' rage, laughin' like a man possessed by WAAAGH itself. He weren't human no more. Nah, he wuz sumfin else now.

A force o' pure, brutal krumpin'.

A Bug-Smasha.

Da Ork Prophet.

And now cross from him was two of the bugz top beasties.

One Wiv da bottom half like a zoggin' centy-squig an' da toppy bit like a humie girl wot got too many arms fast as a squig on squig-stims!. De other? I's a Great lumberin' beast, wearin' armor like scrap tankz an' drippin' acid goo! Click-clackin' like a mek's teef drawer got loose an' dey got more arms than a squig in a meat blender!

The first one lunged, it's ten legs thundering across the deck. Kael moved to parry but it was too strong. It's armored head smashed across his chest, sending him flying to the wall.

SCREEEEECH-CLANG!

He staggered forward, blood gushing down his mouth, but his grin only widened.

"Y-you think that's gonna stop me?" he snarled, teeth bared. "I can do this all day bitch!"

SHEEEEEE-

He suddenly slammed the Killa Klaw forward, catching the blade arm of the half serpent insect mid air The mechanical claw SNAPPED shut with a bone-shattering crunch, clamping her arm.

Kael smirked through bloodied lips. "Oh, you're prettier up close."

Before the elite could react Kael ducked under the blade, then rammed his shoulder into her midsection shoulder checking her. With a roar, he lifted her off the ground and BODYSLAMMED her to a protruding piece of metal.

"Finish her!" he growled, half-mocking, half-madness.

But the elite shrieked in fury. Then- BAM

A massive force struck him from behind his armor cracking from the force He howled and staggered... and then laughed.

It wasn't a sane laugh. It was a sound born from pain, rage, and something else something green and ancient stirring in his blood.

"ZOG IT! I'LL RIP YA IN HALF!"

Kael roared

He then charged at the gigantic behemoth grabbing it's skull. Then with a rage and psychic filled shoud he exerted force remembering those martial arts lessons he had in his past life

GRAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

the giant insect suddenly feel weightless and Kael performed a fucking hip throw to the creature weighing more than a ton. It's large body crashing to the floor cracking it's exoskeleton and acid sprayed in all directions, sizzling against Kael's helm.

Then with a psychic filled charged, he smashed into the beast's exposed underbelly causing a massive explosion of blood and organs filling the entire chamber.

The other one then stood up from the pole that impaled her hissing.

Kael stood up and flicked his organ filled hand and looked her in the eyes. "You want some too?"

But She just hissed louder then charged.

Kael didn't stay idle. He met her full-on.

They crashed like titans, blades and axes clashing, blood and bits of armor and bones flying in arcs. She bit into his shoulder, tearing away metal and flesh.

He roared in return and buried his claws in her stomach. Once, twice, trice. Influenced by the power he received his fighting turned feral as if he was a wild beast, his power continuously increasing from the stimulus.

Ther brawl took a full minute before kael manage to grab the tail of the serpentine insect tugging had and hulk slamming her to the floor.

He then grabbed her neck with the power klaw and the serpentine body bringing her above his head and then-

KRAAAASAAASSSSHH

Blood and gore rained upon him the female insectoid not split in half with her head and spine in one hand and centipede body in the other.

"WAGHHHHHHHHH"

Seing the scene orks around him began to cheer

"YEEEEEAAAAAHHH!!"

"DA HOOMIE'S GONE FULL KRAZY!!"

"DAT'S WOT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!"

"DA BOSS-BOSS IS KRUMPIN' LIKE A PROPA WAAAGH-MESSIAH!"

"WAGHHHHHHHHH fO' DA WAGHHHHHHH GOD, TEEEF FO DA TEEF THRONE"

Kael stood amidst the ruin, a monster among monsters.

Chitinous limbs were strewn around him, acid blood hissing against the plates of his crude, Orky armor. The Killa Klaw on his right arm whirred lowly, full with gore, while his axe in the other hand dripped with the thick, black blood of elite bugs.

His chest rose and fell in heaves, but it wasn't exhaustion, it was restraint.

His eyes filled, not with fury but doubt.

He hadn't fought that last elite, he did not outmaneuvered it. He tored it apart piece by piece, blow by blow, until all that remained was a splatter across the steel deck.

And still, he wanted more.

Something had broken loose inside him.

The longer hw fought with the Orks, the more he felt it that psychic pulse, that green tide surging just beneath the surface of his mind. The WAAAGH wasn't just around him anymore, It was with him. Flooding his veins, echoing in his bones.

Whatever Gork and Mork did to him in that dream… whatever they gave him…

It was changing him.

He knows he didn't become a bloodthirsty killer who would kill everything in sight but he felt it. The urge to fight stronger foes.

[AN: I definitely don't know how to write character development but yea the krork seed influenced him in some ways. It didn't turn him into a bloodthirsty killer but id made him crave battles]

[Gutzrippa da Pain Boyz: Gimme yer shiny power-rocks or I'll shove yer brainz in a squig's skull an' feed ya nuffin' but Ork snot!]

God damn I wrote a chap before thus but it's gone
