WAAAGH!Fortress Git'z End.
Git'z End was truly a impressive fortress with massive 20ft high steel walls that were painted with hundreds of white glaring ork skulls, that ran along its grey surface. Manning those very same walls were fifteen groups of Sluggaboy'z who's numbers reached up to twenty boy'z per group. They patrolled on top of the walls they kept themselves alert at all times for anyone or anything that could cause trouble for the settlement, be they humans though they never saw a human in their whole lives since the magical wards kept them away from the town or from their fellow orks. But that only happens when the boy'z get a little too drink from having one to many fungus-beer's, though thankfully those kind of drunken incidents only happen every once in a blue moon meaning that the Sluggboy'z didn't have to leave their posts that often to deal with it.
Anyway as for the inside of the fortress it had been by the orders of Warboss Lana herself to be sectioned off into three separate areas with each one serving a different but critical purpose. To the operations of the fortress the first section was simply called the 'farm' by its inhabitants. It was inhabited by the hundreds to the thousands of Snotling'z and their Gretchin cousins and as the name implied they worked and farmed the area tending to the many Squig herds that lived within the fortress supplying the much needed food. When they had time they also brewed the fungus-beer that kept the ork's happy and content within the camps great steel walls.
The next section was designated as the village and it was home to the Feral, Slugga and Painboy'z though a home for these boy'z wasn't the place's only function as the place had been built with areas for training and combat in mind with a few giant steel cage style arena's dotting around the place, that the orks used to fight each other. Surprisingly there were few deaths in the arenas as Lana had told her boy'z that if their opponent was knocked out then they had to stop the fight unless they wanted to suffer her wrath which was something they didn't want as the last time a ork pissed Lana off the poor ork boy had wound up being torn apart limb by bloody limb as Lana had used a frightening combination of raw strength and sword skills to kill the boy in the most painful way that her enrage mind could unleash upon the foolish ork.
The last section was called the capital which lay right in the centre of the encampment and it functioned as the nerve centre of the camp. Lana lived here alongside Mek and weirdboy'z the place had many workshops and storehouses scattered around in random places where the Mekboy'z worked hard to build maintain and store their Warboss many WAAAGH vehicles. Though they secretly lamented that there wasn't enough resources around Little Whinging, to build the truly massive vehicles and weapons that they wanted to build. Besides the workshops there was also the palace a three story building that had once been the town hall but now it functioned as a home for Lana also fun fact their was also a huge metal tower that was built into the halls right side that was suspended on giant copper stilts.
Yes Git'z End was truly a very impressive creation of ork engineering. Anyone be they human or wizard who tried to assault the fortress they would soon find themselves in for a very unpleasant and long lasting fight. The fortress could outlast any invader as there was plenty of food, thanks to the farm manned by the Snotling'z and Gretchin'z. Any skilled human soldier could also be outmatched by an ork boy as the village and its arenas could easy train up Lana's boy'z to the level that she needed them to be. But most of all the palace itself was tall enough for Lana to see all of Little Whinging in its entirety, thus allowing her to see her enemy's and plan accordingly while also staying safe and sound inside her heavily defended palace.
Speaking of the Warboss she is right now inside her throne room on the palaces 2nd floor having lets just say an interesting conversation with one of her boy'z.
The throne room.
"So wot yer tell'n me iz 'dat some strange stick wav'n 'umiez are runn'n around ma territory 'dat about right SkullBreaka?" calmly asked Warboss Lana Potter who had gone though some changes over the past few years since her ascension to Warboss no longer was she the same small meek skinny girl who had taken the abuse from her vile relatives no! Now she was powerful standing at 5'2ft tall with a set of rusty red plated armour that covered everything from the neck down though the armour did have something strange about it. That was the gauntlet's they were bigger and more bulky then the rest of the armour along with a tube coming out of the right gauntlet going up the arm and over her shoulder disappearing into the back of the armours plating. As for Lana's face she looked rather doll like with porcelain white skin with her hair done into a bob hair cut, she also had big bright green eyes that sparkled with an intelligence that could rival even the most gifted of tacticians and finally their was a rather nasty scar that ran down her left eye.
"Yeah boss I saw an' fought Im weird stick wavez dey be a gud fight" dutifully reported Skullbreaker the kneeling Feralboy having arrived not but a few minutes ago, after spending a good hour making his way though Little Whinging making sure to take the long way through the old human town so he could find and send more of his fellow orks to unknowingly stall the humans so that he could tell the boss about what he had encountered.
"I see" said Lana while scratching her chin with an armoured fist her face taking on a deep contemplated look. "Wot do yer guys fink about dis wired stick 'umiez" she suddenly asked while looking to her right hand side where there stood three orks one being a Gretchin and other two being a Mekboy and Wiredboy respectfully. As for who these three orks were they are in order, BloodFang Lana's oldest living ork and friend. Gearhead her chief engineer among the Mekboy'z who was a master at crafting armour, a chief example being that he had made Lana's armour and the last ork who was called strangely enough Twister. Twist to his friends anyway twister was the leader of Lana's group of wiredboy'z he had gotten his position by challenging and defeating all of them in single combat, earning him the title Twister the mighty from his fellow wiredboy'z. Together the three orks made up Lana's council of advisers offering their input and ideas to their Warboss when she needed it or to become her tools of destruction when asked of them.
"I say we go attack im 'umiez an' showz im dat we orks are 'da biggest an' 'da strongest!" excitedly yelled BloodFang who no longer wore a loincloth instead he now wears a black butlers uniform where and how he had gotten a hold of it no one truly knows, only that he had acquired it about two years ago and since then it had become the icon that the other orks used to distinguish him from his fellow Gretchin's. That and the many, many knifes that he kept hidden away within the uniform. He grinned toothily at his fellow orks bloodlust and an eagerness for battle shinning clearly within his red eyes.
"Ha jus wot I 'pect from a Gretchin like yer all fight'n an' no dink'n" sneered Gearhead the Mekboy was huge standing at an impressive 6'8ft. He was wearing black baggy pants, steel toe boots of the same colour, a white greasy and oil stained apron was the only thing that was covering his large chest the apron also had a small pouch where a few of his work tools could be seen poking out, and resting at his side was some kind of weapon that looked like the demented love child of a great sword and a chainsaw. "If were gunna stompn im den we need ta know more about im I say we send a few Snotling'z an' watch wot happens from ere" he suggested getting an angry growl from BloodFang at his remark on the Gretchin's intelligence and a contemplative hum from Twister who was mentally weighing up the pros and cons of such an idea.
"It kould work" began Twister his small 5'2 frame which had always been a source of ridicule from his fellow orks well it had been until he had unleashed his terrifyingly powerful warp ability's upon them turning his tormenters into piles of slime as for what the wiredboy was wearing. Twister wore a long flowing brown wizards robe which he had gotten from raiding a halloween shop and clasped tightly in his green hand was a staff made of pure copper which he used as a focus for his warp powers "but if were gunna try an' find out wot 'da 'umiez are truly kapable uv den will need ta send 'n a few uv are stronga boy'z 'coz jus send'n Snotling'z 'n jus ain't gunna kut it" he told them getting grunts of agreement from his fellow advisers.
"Den dat'z wot we will do" Lana spoke up after hearing her advisers opinions. Her voice carrying a level of power and authority that would make even the most stubborn of orks stop, listen and obey her every command. "But were gunna change a few fings about 'da plan furst" she moved off of her throne standing tail and proud before her assembled ork subordinates. Her bright green eyes turning a blood red for a split second "furst we will send 'n a wave uv Snotling'z an' Gretchin'z no more den two hundred each" she paused giving a meaningful look at BloodFang who understood, nodded then headed off to gather up the acquired amount of Gretchin and Snotling'z that his boss needed. Once he had left the room Lana continued "now when 'da 'umiez are distracted wit' are smalla boy'z me an' Twista will take a small group made up uv Wiredboy'z an' Sluugaboy'z surrounded im den will krush im gud an' propa" when she finished explaining her plan the assembled orks grinned a bloodthirsty grin as they knew that the plan their boss had come up with would not only tire the humans out but also force them to show the orks what they could do with their strange powers as such a small number of humans that had been reported by SkullBreaker couldn't possible face off against that many Gretchin'z and Snotling'z without giving it everything they got unless they secretly wanted to become Squig food.
"Wot about me boss?" respectfully asked SkullBreaker who had not moved from his kneeling position.
"Yer will be wit' me when we konfront da 'umie'z" she told the feralboy like it should have been the most obvious thing in the world "yer 'perience wit' dese strange 'umie'z will be invaluable when we fight im" SkullBreaker grinned toothfully at hearing this as this was not only his chance to impress the Warboss but also get his revenge towards those humans that had forced him to retreat from the field of battle, something that made his orkish blood boil in untold fury at just thinking about it.
"As for yer Gearhead" said Lana as she turned her attention towards the massive ork who was slowly sharpening his sword with a whetstone that he had gotten from his apron pouch, all the while muttering sweet nothings under his breath to said sword. "Ya will stay ere an' guard 'da fort incase more 'umie'z showz up an' attack while I am gone" the Mekboy paused in his sharpening, seemingly torn between wanting to go fight the humans or to stay and follow his bosses orders this internal conflict lasted for a few seconds before he gave a quite yes boss, then went back to sharpening his beloved weapon in peace.
"Right yer've boy'z got yer ordaz now lets move out" Lana said as she marched out of the throne room though not before grabbing her weapon's from a nearby table, a ork crafted steel sword and a sawn off shotgun that had once belonged to her now dead uncle. Both weapons were easy to strap into place around her waist after spending a few minutes making her way though the maze like corridors that made up her palace. SkullBreaker and Twister both dutifully following her silently like a pair of shadows once Lana had finally made it outside where there was a large group of orks made up of Sluuga and Wiredboy'z who were waiting for them. BloodFang who was also waiting while lazily playing with a throwing knife by spinning it in the air before catching it skilfully between his fingers once he saw the Warboss he stepped forward his floppy ears twitching with happiness.
"we are all ready ta go boss" the butler suited Gretchin told his Warboss who was taking in the sight of her horde of over two hundred orks. The mixed group of boy'z were all grinning eagerly as they awaited for their leader to give them the command to go attack the humans that had so foolishly wondered into their bosses territory.
"Alright boy'z shut yer trap'z an' listen up!" shouted Lana causing the ork horde to stop all talking and listen attentively to their Warboss. Once she was sure they were all paying attention she continued "yer may not have heard about it yet but deses a group uv strange stick wav'n 'umiez runn'n around ma turf like dey own 'da place" hearing this caused the horde to yell in excitement as this was the most exciting thing that has happened to them for the last two years. The last thing being when Lana had thrown a huge party in celebration for the completion of Git'z End which had ended up with the young potter heir getting drunk off her ass on fungus-beer and the destruction of at lest three arenas by drunken ork fights.
When she saw how riled up her boy'z were getting she decided to give the crescendo to her little speech that would turn them into a mass of frenzy bloodthirsty maniacs that would be more than eager to die, if it meant that they could fight the humans that had decided to invaded her home. "Well if dey fink 'dat dey kan go around ma turf without a fight well dey have annuver fing kom'n ta im" a green and yellow aura suddenly enveloped Lana as the power of the WAAAGH! began to fill her veins with power a bloodthirsty grin slowly etching its way onto her face "'cos we orks are 'da biggest an' 'da strongest fightaz 'n 'da whole world an' we will showz dose 'umie git'z why yer don't mess wit' 'da great Warbss Lana an' 'er WAAGHBand 'da Silva Locust's!" She passionately screamed the name of her WAAAGHBand to the heavens getting an equally passionate raw in response from the orks.
"WAAAGH!"
A random Sluggaboy suddenly yelled the orks signature war cry thus causing a chain reaction as the other orks began chanting the cry over and over again, while stomping their respective weapons onto the ground repeatedly which caused a thumping sound to vibrate throughout the air acting like make shift drums of war. Lana seeing that her boy'z had been riled up enough decided to finally give the order that they had all been eagerly awaiting for this whole time.
"Alright boy'z lets go wage WAAAGH!" Lana ordered this gained her a raw of approval before she turned towards the place where the humans were last sighted. She ran into a fairly decant sprint her sides flanked by SkullBreaker, BloodFang and Twister with the horde right behind them the amassed group of orks chanting and some even singing some crude ork song about their love for squig pie and fungus-beer.
As the horde marched onwards towards the wizards none of them noticed the powerful aura around their Warboss growing until it enveloped the whole horde invigorating them and fastening their pace, as for Lana herself a savage grin was upon her face as the thoughts of a good fight danced inside her mind.
Meanwhile with are group of wizards and witch.
"WAAAGH!."
"Bombarda Maxima!" yelled an angry and annoyed Severus Snape as he fired the blasting charm at a newly arriving group of feralboy'z. Who unlike the last four groups that he had blasted seemed to have learned that being hit by the charm was a very bad thing for them, and so had tried to split apart going in different directions to avoid the spell. Unfortunately for them Snape wasn't their only opponent as McGonagall saw the group of orks and knowing what they were trying to do decided to help her fellow teacher out by using her powers of transfiguration to turn the ground beneath the orks feet into water. Surprised by the sudden change the orks couldn't even react in time as they sunk into the water once they were up to their knees in water McGonagall transfigured the liquid back into concrete, trapping the orks in place thus allowing the Bombarda Maxima they were trying to ovoid to hit and blast them apart into hundreds of nasty green and red chunks of meat.
"Thank you for the assistance McGonagall" said Snape thanking his fellow professor for her help with the green skins, while also keeping an eye out for anymore attackers a small shin of sweat could be seen slowly falling down his face as he had used far more magic in that charm then he would have usually used. That was because of those blasted creatures and their small amount of magical resistance meaning that he and the others had to put far more power into their spells in order to affect them which was becoming a problem as groups of these creatures seemed to keep finding and attacking them. Snape had a feeling that the first one they had encountered had something to do with it.
"Your quite welcome Severus" tiredly replied Minerva as she leaned against a nearby and still surprisingly intact bench. Her clothes having a few tears from a few feral's that had gotten to close for comfort, though thankfully none of them had been able to injure the transfiguration master as she had used a combination of shielding and blasting charms to send the offending orks flying.
"Ah I'm glad to see that you two are alright" joyfully said Dumbledore. Much to the hidden annoyance of the two professors as he walked calmly towards them. Without showing any signs of having just fought off two groups of feral's that had tried to flank them from behind and it didn't take him long to notice the fatigue and exhaustion that plagued his two teachers. "Though now that are violent friends have been taken care of, I would like to suggest that we now take a little break to recharge are energy a little bit after all it wouldn't do if we were to fail to find and save young Lana from these green creatures. Because we didn't take the time to rest and regather are strength" he finalised his statement by sitting down on the very same bench that McGonagall was leaning on while pulling out a bag of lemon drops. The aged headmaster smiled as he pulled out and eat one of the lemon sweets.
"I can never understand how you can like those things Dumbledore" casually remarked Snape as the potions master sat down next to his employer politely refusing one of the said lemon drops when the headmaster offered. "Still how far do you think we are from the camp of those green things?" he asked while keeping his eye out for anymore of the mentioned creatures, as there was sure to be more of them coming soon no doubt attracted to this place by the sounds of battle as they had not been the most subtle when they had been fighting the green skins from before.
Dumbledore hummed in thought for a moment before replying to Snape's inquiry. "I would have to wager around half an hour Severus, though it might be more if we run into more of are green friends" his answer caused his two companions to groan as they were getting sick and tired of fighting these seemingly endless waves of green skins. Snape was the most annoyed out of the two as he just wanted to find Potter and leave this reached place so that he could go back to his potions lab and get back to researching new kinds of potions in peace.
"Well at lest things can't get any worse" said McGonagall trying to lift the spirts of her two resting companions while unknowingly causing Murphy's law to decide to give the witch a good kick in the ass for daring to challenge its law as the ground underneath their feet suddenly started to rumble. Startled by this they jumped to their feet wands out and at the ready.
"You just had to go and jinx us didn't you McGonagall" Said an agitated Snape as he glared at the transfiguration master who was giving a sheepish look in response to her fellow professors words.
"Now, now serverus now is not the time to blame Minerva" said Dumbledore who's face was now set into a serious look. "Besides I think we have much bigger problems right now than assigning blame to people for something that they do not have any control over." He turned towards the direction of the camp they had been heading towards, and when they follow his gaze the two saw what he meant by them having bigger problems. They saw a huge charging horde of small child sized creatures that were just as green as the other things that they had been fighting since arriving in Little Whinging. As before the mentioned beings all wore loincloths while waving around in the air a mixture of wooden clubs and metal knifes.
"Here I thought that the day couldn't get any better" sarcastically said Snape as he fired a chain of blasting charms and hexs towards the horde seeing Snape's quick actions McGonagall and Dumbledore added their wands to the mix as McGonagall used her knowledge of transfiguration to transform the concrete on the road into high walls and other obstacles to slow them down. Dumbledore attacked the horde with stinging hexs and tripping charms to cause the creatures in the front of the charge to fall down though the headmaster of Hogwarts sadly noticed that the creatures seemed to have no care towards their fellow kin. As they without a care trampled to death any of the green skins that were unfortunate enough to fall victim to his spells.
As the battle raged on the wizards began to tire little by little the use of so much magic was draining them of their stamina, add in the fact that they were slowly losing ground while only killing a small portion of the attacking horde told them that if something didn't change and soon then they would be over run by the green tide heading towards them. Thankfully that change came from Snape who had finally had enough of fighting and wasting his energy on the small sized orks gathering a large amount of his magic Snape pointed his wand at the charging horde the spell he had in mind rolling delightfully off of his tongue.
"Fiendfyre" the spell almost immediately ignited from his wand tip a gigantic snake made of magical fire came to life the sudden appearance of the fire snake surprised and scared the small horde of Snotling's and Gretchin's though that mattered little to Snape as he mentally commanded the dark magic construct to attack the orks. The serpent gleefully did as it lunged at the horde its massive maw opened wide like it was welcoming the orks into the fiery depths of hell itself. The green skins as was their nature tried to fight the fire beast thinking that there numbers could over whelm it unfortunately that didn't happen as the magical fire quickly over whelmed them swallowing up the horde leaving them only a few minutes to scream in pain and fear before they were all turned to ash.
Once Snape was sure that all of the green skins were dead he stoped feeding the construct with his magic causing it to let out one more terrifying shriek before it shrank and disappeared into nothingness allowing the three humans to see the broken and charred remains of the orks that hadn't been reduced to ash by the fiendfyre.
"Well that's certainly one way to win a battle" dully noted McGonagall as she gave Snape a look of disapproval for using such a powerful dark magic spell even though it had saved their lives. Snape was going to make a snappy retort when the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard ringing throughout the charred and smoky area making the three humans tense as they thought that some of the horde had survived though what came marching out of the smoke was far worse than they could have imagined as hundreds of orks who were a little more armoured than the ones that they had encountered so far with each of them carrying a pair of duel axes though Dumbledore took note that some of them in the far back of this new more dangerous horde had copper staffs instead of a more dangerous weapon. He made a mental note to watch out for them as his instincts told him that they were more dangerous than they appeared to be.
"Ha, ha, ha 'dat was wun hell uv fight!" a sudden voice drawled the attention of the wizards towards the front of the horde were much to their confusion and shock was an armoured girl who was surrounded by the green skins like she belonged with them all the while enthusiastically clapping her hands together like she had just seen the greatest show on earth. The orks behind her grinned their approval as well while also keeping their weapons at the ready incase the humans tried something to harm the Warboss.
Snape meanwhile was inwardly cursing up a storm as he quickly come to realise that this had been a trap all along. This force had appeared far to soon to be anything but a trap and he felt it deep within his gut that the girl before them was the mastermind behind the whole thing and to make matters even worse he was running out of magic as the fiendfyre had drained him almost of all of his reserves. Meaning that if a fight broke out now then he would be left nearly defenceless and if he was right judging by the look on McGonagall's face then she was in the same boat as he was in terms of magic. Still he wasn't going to just give up now not after coming this far his pride not to mention his promise he made to Lily wouldn't allow him to leave without Potter.
"Wot's 'da matta git'z squig got yer tongue?" Asked the amused girl as she pulled the weapons she had been carrying off of her hips the action made the magical's tense. The girl must have noticed as she laughed out loud "wot yer surprised dat Iz draw'n ma weapons" her eyes took a far darker look to them as she pointed her shotgun at them her finger a hairs breath away from the trigger "Ha don't be yer git'z kame into ma turf kill ma boy'z an' fink ya kan get away wit' it?!" At this point her eyes had turned blood red from bloodlust and anger as even though she had planed to sacrifice the Snotling's and Gretchin's to weaken the wizards in the first place it still enraged her to no end as those boy'z had been hers and no one got way with killing what belonged to her "no! I kame for a gud fight an' I'z an't gunna leave until I get wun" she stepped forward with a growl. This action allowed a passing breeze to hit her head causing her hair to part allowing the humans to see much to their shock a familiar lightning bolt shaped scar on her forehead.
"Little Lana" breathed a shocked and horrified McGonagall as she had never thought she would see the child of her two favourite students look and act like this and needless to say her two fellow staff members were as equally surprised as she was though they hid it far better. Still this was an unexpected development as neither would have guessed that the girl they were trying to find would have been working with the strange creatures that they had found within the ruined town.
Lana however had heard McGonagall's words and was now glaring at the witch "'dat's Warboss Lana ta ya git leada uv 'da Silva Locust WAAAGH!Band" she emphasized this by pounding a gauntlet covered fist to her chest near were her heart was which had a horde of sliver coloured locusts seen munching on humans and metal machine parts painted onto the red breast plate this got a raw of praise from the orks as they proudly shouted their WAAAGH!Bands name while some smashed their weapons onto the ground once again using them as makeshift drums.
"This is far worse than I've first thought" grimly thought Dumbledore as we watched the horde as they yelled their WAAAGH!Bands name over and over again. As he took in the whole situation he knew that they were in deep trouble because while he had plenty of magical energy to spare Severus and McGonagall. On the other hand they were slowly beginning to run out. Add the mental stress the two must be feeling at seeing the young Miss Potter leading a horde of monsters and well he might have been renowned by many wizards and witches as a optimist who saw the best in the worst situations, but even he couldn't find a bright side to their current predicament. As he solemnly watched an eager to fight Lana slowly march towards them with weapons at the ready he couldn't help but feel deep within his old bones that this was just the start of something that would soon become far worse then when Tom and his band of dark wizards terrorised the magical world.
