The giant skiff soared above the deserted streets of the dark city
down below. Kasno Shakaine fidgeted nervously, he didn't know why
because no one could know what had happened but, he had the strange
feeling of being watched.
Aramoro watched the Raider skiff from a position in the shadows.
He noted that the boxes with the emblem of the scorpion on the lid
were positioned near the rear. He hissed and the 14 other members of
his squad moved with him. He sent 5 of his men in to the middle of
the street. The only thing hiding them being their chameleon like
skin. He broke the rest of his squad in half and sent the other
group to the other side of the street. The only sound was the
charging of Splinter Pistols.
Shakaine scanned the street, by the time he saw the blur it
was too late. Splinter shards ripped through the bodies of 6 of the
men on the skimmer. The gunner turned his massive Dark Lance towards
the side and prepared to fire. Suddenly his body dropped lifeless.
The shots ceased and all was silent, Mandrake's Shakaine thought.
Probably just looking for some blood. Mandrake's were one of the
few things that sent chill's down Skakaine's spine, Mandrake's and
Incubi. Shakaine's thoughts were interrupted as the Raider's engines
pulled to the right, they were turning around. Shakaine turned to
ask his lieutenant what was going on only to find his body standing
with a claw through his gut. The warrior was thrown off the side.
Shakaine looked at the driver to see the blur of a shadowy figure at
the controls. Shakaine reached for his shredder but his weapon was
gone. Shakaine raised his double bladed weapon and charged at the
Mandrake's.

"You do good work Aramoro," the Dracon paused, "I will go
present your winnings to his lordship."
Aramoro knew what the Dracon would do, he would present the
winnings for himself, this had gone far enough. He glanced at his
squad and told them the plan. Seven of his mandrakes went running
down each side of the hall. Aramoro crept down the corridor towards
the throne room. "Your plan will never work Aramoro," Aramoro spun
around to see an armor clad beautiful woman.
"Who-who are you, and how did you know my name?" Aramoro
stammered.
"It will all be revealed in due time. I want you to follow my
lead, don't worry you will figure it out soon." At this the woman
spun around and disappeared down a hallway. Aramoro decided to worry
about this at the required time. Aramoro disappeared in to the
shadows.
*******************************
"The Kabal of the Scorpion thanks you for your contribution
Dracon Dozan. The single handed capturing of the bandits is
appreciated." Bayushi Shoju sat masked in his Dais. The shadowy room
was filled with numerous courtesans. In front of Shoju stood numerous
Incubi. And just behind Shoju in the shadows stood a Haemoneculus.
"It is nothing my lord, I was only doing what was best for the
Kabal. I am sure any of the other's in this room would do the same
given the situa-" Dozan was cut short as a blade cleanly removed his
legs. The Dracon's retinue spun around and looked for a target.
Suddenly splinters shot through the air and cut down the retinue.
The Incubi began charging towards the Dracon, but Shoju stopped them.
The Mandrake's materialized and Aramoro raised his blade above his
head and prepared to feast on the Dracon's soul but a shot from the
back of the from caused the Dracon to explode. Aramoro spun around
to see the woman from earlier, a silence filled the room.
"That was my kill!" Aramoro cried out.
"Watch your tone Mandrake! My lord I call to claim everything
that had belonged to this Dracon, as is my right," the woman stated
still grasping the smoking gun.
"Of course, Mandrake's meet your new Dracon, Shosouro Kachiko,"
At this Shoju grasped a filled goblet and raised it in a toast. The
room filled with talking and Shoju got distracted. Kachiko turned and
exited the room. Aramoro told his squad to meet him back at his
Dracon's palace. He then turned to follow the mysterious woman
outside the throne room.
"How did I know you would be following me here?" Kachiko turned
to face Aramoro, "Look I'm sorry I took your kill but you wouldn't
last a week as a Dracon." "Or would you, in fact you are a very
powerful warrior I can't have you as a problem, Asakara kill him."
One of the black clad Incubi charged at Aramoro. Aramoro's squad
leapt out of the shadows at the other Incubi. Aramoro's blade flashed
and the Incubi's head lay on the ground. The other Incubi reached a
similar fate. Aramoro approached Kachiko his blade posed to strike.
"Wait, before you kill me here me out. You just killed my Incubi
and as custom you now hold their position. You are now Incubi, take
the esteemed position."
"And what keeps me from killing you now?"
"The fact that you don't want to be the second most feared group
in the Dark Eldar race. Plus you would be feared even more, Mandrakes
as Incubi, you would be unstoppable!" Aramoro considered this very
carefully. "Besides, I have a Raider squad that will shoot you if you
try anything." Kachiko smiled and Aramoro glanced up at the Raider
with the disentegrator poised right at his face.
"Fine, you have me as your servant, Mistress Kachiko."
Aramoro would return to his old palace to get his few belongings
and moved to his new home. The palace was dark at Aramoro went
straight to his quarters. When he arrive he saw the shiny armor
sitting in his quarters and a giant halberd glowing faintly in the
darkness. This was a punisher, weapon of the Incubi, It was his
punisher.
