Disclaimer!: I do not own Blizzard nor do I own World of warcraft, the only things that I own are the character's that I design and bring to life within the story. Basically, I don't own anything! I'm a bit on the broke-side to even own the company that is Blizzard...does that work? Am I doing the disclaimer thingy right?
Chapter 0: I was not prepared?
"Your Cause dies with Him!"
"Lord Illidan!" A reflexive action, impulsive with the desire to protect the leader of the Illidari Cause. The woman swung her warglaive at the incoming flail, protecting her lord...but improperly deflecting it, resulting in a painful loss.
*CRUNCH!*
*RIIIIIIIP*
"GAH!" Her left arm torn off at the shoulder, only the fel-tainted blood that pumped through her body was evidence of what she'd lost. The lost limb falling into a pit of corrupted fel-energies, overloading and ultimately destroying it completely. Leaving the demon huntress with nothing but her sole armament.
The demon lord that took her arm now furious at his prevented attempt on Illdan's life. One massive arm smacking into the blood elf, sending her flying back into a nearby pillar, said woman now being brought face to face with the demon responsible for the wound. Light-headed from the blood-loss, she still managed to put on a straight, angered face of her own.
"Hehehah! You smell more...Demon than Human...You would serve us well indeed."
"Tch, never! You damn Demon!" Making no hint as to what was about to happen to the Demonlord, she allowed herself to give a smirk when as the blade of a warglaive was plunged into the Demon's back, a savage twist and wrench finishing the job, leaving the demon to burst into fel-energies. Energies which faded away into nothingness, completely destroyed.
Illidan, the leader of the Illidari approached the initiate, no actual emotion showing through his actions, but more through his words.
"Your arm...I'm afraid this will be where your fight ends, I have no need for usele-"
*BOOM*
The ground thundered as the woman stomped the ground with one foot, power making itself known through the action.
"Bah! I still have another arm, I have my legs and my body, my Lord. No sacrifice is too much for the Cause!" As if to prove her point further, she took up one of her warglaives, demonic power channeling into the blade, manifesting as fires that super-heated the blade. "Tis but a flesh wound compared to all we've fought for. I can still fight, I will fight." Presenting her weapon to her leader, the ever bold huntress turned her body towards the man, bracing herself as she nodded her head. Urging Him to test her resolve once again.
If anything, Illidan was impressed that there was someone willing to cut him off, and even moreso at the willingness for such a painful way to seal the wound. And so, he indulged her silent request, using his own power to heat the blade further until it was glowing white with heat. Not waiting a second longer, the flat of the blade was pressed against her shoulder, and with it, came a pain that risked her life, through enduring both the pain, and restraining her demonic-powers even still.
*Tssssssss!*
*!*
Agony, in its purest form, worse than when she took on the powers of the demons she so dearly despised. Her will crumbling at the beginning, the pain from the burn and the weakness of bloodloss seeming to almost completely encompass all thought. But there was one thought that prevailed through all this. 'I am not done!' Simple and to the point, her consciousness coming back with full clarity as she gritted her teeth and clenched her sole fist, her power brimming out out into her body as it went a change. The fel-tattoos that once marred her skin dispersing as all of the demonic energy bent to the iron will of her mind, a snarl wrenching itself from her lips as she backed away when the wound was sealed shut completely by the fel-fire heated blade.
Her eyes widening behind her blindfold as she inspected her power, the pain fading as her changed body numbed the pain, the 'mild' stinging to her was almost as bad as when the wound was seared shut. Will steeled and her body feeling stronger that before, she got up from her kneeling position with an almost feral grin on her face.
"My body...has changed…" The grin becoming one of pride as she continued, looking at Illidan with her newfound strength. "I shall learn what I am capable of and become a mighty weapon to be wielded against the Burning Legion!" Taking up her weapon once again, she gave one more nod to her Lord. "There's more demons left, I should help clear up whatever's left." Walking towards the exit out of the fortress, she looked back over her shoulder at Illidan. "No sacrifice too big for the , my Lord?" She questioned, not waiting a second more as she jumped, leaving a small crater from the force of the jump. By the sound of the surprised yelp, it seemed that the demon huntress was surprised as well, said surprised yelp changing to a battlecry as she landed blade-first into a demon that was unfortunate enough to be in her landing path.
Allowing some pride to show in his voice now that he was alone, Illidan chuckled to himself as he spoke up. "No sacrifice too big indeed…." And with that, Illidan, The Betrayer walked out of the fortress, moving to prepare the portal gate back to home base.
Meanwhile, a rather elated Illidari baffled and shocked her compatriots with her behaviour, and her abilities that she used with partial effectiveness and some intuition to kill, maim and outright eviscerate her demonic foes in the battle. That was the day that a new warrior walked into the spotlight, combat prowess matched only by those of equal status. The first Victory of the Illidari, and the birth of The Odd Illidari, leader of the Demon Hunting Inquisition.
*Scene change, fast forward XXXXX years.*
(*Location: Outland, The Black Temple.*)
"Now Go, but remember, should you fail-"
"Yeah yeah, all worlds will burn. We'll be back with the Keystone as soon as we can, my Lord. You can count on us." A female voice casually interrupted, not irritating, but only seeming to provide some comfort to the casualness of her behaviour. Starting off at a walking pace towards the portal, she waved over her shoulder at Illidan. "Just worry about not getting beaten by those Mortals now, we'll be back soon." With those words said, her features turned into a grin as she gave a joyful howl as she jumped into the portal, the force catapulting her through it and into the realm of Mardum.
It was a known fact that portals allowed one to just move without losing any speed, so it was without surprise when the speeding, ever violent missile that was the elf soared through the tainted skies of Mardum, a gauntleted fist smashing a fel-bat out of the sky, slowing her enough that her descent arched down sharply...right into an Imp Mother, a spinning axe kick with a plated greave slamming into the demon, reducing its head to mush. Along with the rest of its body as well as the blonde speared right through, only stopping when she hit the ground with a thunderous-
*BOOM!*
The shockwave and subsequent miniature aftershocks alerting all demons to her presence. Stepping out of the dust-filled crater with a cough, the demon huntress chuckled as she looked at the small army of demons that moved into fighting stances as one of their arch nemesis revealed themselves. Not that she was afraid, in fact, she was slightly irritated as she spoke up.
"Hey! What's the holdup here!? I thought I trained you guys enough to deal with this small number of demons!" She shouted, making some demons who recognised who she was flinch away...before their ranks were soon cut-down and reduced to nothing but flesh and parted bones in the wake of a battalion of demon hunters revealed themselves, making the woman grin as they stood at attention before her. Calmly swinging her arm back to bash the head in of a imp that tried sneaking up on her, she spoke up once again.
"Took ya long enough! Now then...My Inquisitors...shall we be off? We've got demons to kill and a keystone to get. Don't forget to apprehend some portals to bring reinforcements in as well, like it or not, we aren't a one-man army. I think some of us can attest to that when I had to bail your asses out of some sticky situations. Now then, there's my orders, secure a foothold for our forces and kill any demons that get in our way, we've got a task to do and we shall do it! Don't try and die now, I'll just find you and make sure you survive for a sparring match with me!" There were several winces at the note of that punishment, but none of the Illidari seemed fazed by what they faced, saluting once more before rushing out to do as they were ordered.
"Sheesh, Kyla, you're such a slave-driver today." A lazy voice said, a night elf clad in similar clothing as her, Kylandras smiled laxly as he stood next to his leader.
"Oh shut it, Varadin. You're only complaining 'cause you know that I won't crack you over the head for your whining. Now come, we've got work to do." Setting off after her fellow demon hunters, Kylandras smiled as she saw some of the colossal demons that could be seen in the distance. "Hey now, I don't like that look on your face...H-hey! Wait up!" Varadin said as Kyla surged off into the distance, already rushing towards the colossal infernals. Letting out an irritated sigh, the male demon hunter just shook his head in remorse for how battle-hungry his leader was, before disappearing in a burst of movement, swiftly following after his leader to make sure she didn't do anything drastic
And with that, the scene faded, the story to be continued at another time. Keep an eye out for the next chapter in this tale of an Odd Illidari.
