Torture of Isha Bridge
The Trueborn drummed his finger against the seat before he activated the Holographic link.
"Haemonculi, have you-" Only to see that the Torture Masters face had been bashed in, The Trueborn was shocked to say the least before shutting down the link. "What in Khaine's name is going on?"
The Incubi and Sslyth stood by his side, deathly silent whilst the enslaved sister of battle could barely pay attention. Instead she was thinking who could possibly be giving the Dark Eldar such a hard time all by his lonesome.
However a holographic link came on, showing the face of a fearful warrior. "Trueborn! Some Harlequins have boarded our ship from the boarding bay! Were getting slaughtered down in the weapon's de-" However before the Warrior could finish, he was stabbed from behind by some weapon before he screamed in agony within his armor as blood came pouring out of every crevice. The Harlequin's kiss was known to do that.
Magadh immediately shut down the link, "First a Farseer, then a Harlequin troupe!? What is so important about this vessel?!" Magadh said in anger.
And to make matters worse, he still had to deal with that other intruder that somehow took down his ship's Haemonculi.
Torture of Isha Weapon's Deck
Doom pressed the Elevator button again, before pressing it again, before smashing it in anger. Apparently it didn't take him directly to the bridge. Instead it took him to what appeared to be the weapons bay.
And he wasn't alone either.
Their were a few Kalbalite corpses, however while some looked like they were simply stabbed, a few look like their armor had been used to make a fleshy soup as blood and gore came streaming out of any gaps of their armor.
Doom stepped of the Elevator before looking around, apparently there was nobody here. He was about to walk forward until he sensed it.
Something was behind him.
Less than a split second, Doom turned before catching a Glimmersteel blade with his gauntlet. The green and black skinned mandrake growled before attempting to bale blast Doom as green fire grew in it's left hand.
Doom however, punched the thing in it's stomach using his free hand with such force, that the Mandrake paused before throwing up a wad of black blood right into Doom's visor. The Marine immediately picked the Mandrake up by the throat before slamming it against the ground, it's limbs immediately broke away into shadows from the impact as the rest of it's body slowly dissipated.
Doom simply wiped the black blood from his visor in annoyance before walking onward. He turned another corner, this time in a much bigger room, almost the size of a cargo bay as various dark machinery laid around the place.
He walked before turning around at another corner, face to face with a sad looking horned mask.
Doom was about to smack whoever it was only to realize it was the Solitaire, the exact same one that followed him when he was back at his room. Doom immediately calmed, "Jesus Christ... Don't fucking surprise me like that,-" Doom said before gesturing his hand, "-if I fucking slapped you, then you would be fucking dead."
The Solitaire looked at doom before shrugging.
"So uh, where the hell's the rest of your pals?" Doom asked before the Harlequin pointed to the left, revealing the Troupe master Arlecchino along with the Shadowseer Columbine, the Death jester Hamlet, and a bunch of other Harlequin players.
"Ah Doom, You arrived as expected." Arlecchino said as he took a delicate towel from his sleeve and cleared blood off his power sword. "Just in time for our finishing act."
Doom shrugged, "Okay. I'm up for it, what exactly did you guys have in mind."
Columbine spoke in a quiet voice, "There's a control room which guides the fire of the Phantom Lances of this ship. We gain access and then-"
"Avert fire to the Escorts." Doom said as he guessed it.
"Precisely."
Doom patted his hands together. "Alright then, what are we fucking waiting for? Let's do this shit!" Doom said before walking past the Troupe master.
"It's the other way." Hamlet said in a grave voice.
Doom looked behind him to see a large set of black metal doors. "Oh..." Before turning around and walking towards the door. The rest of the troupe followed behind him.
The Doomslayer pulled back a foot, "Everyone ready?"
"The troupe is ready to dance." Arlecchino said as he prepared his sword. Doom nodded, before kicking his leg forward. The door slammed open, before their was a flood of purple crystal fire.
Doom was the first to charge forward as he took out the Fiery Bolt pistol, spotting a Dark Eldar who was out in the open before firing. The explosive bullet penetrated his stomach before the explosion tore the unlucky warrior in half.
The rest of the Harlequin's rushed inside, dancing with unnatural grace as they dodged between purple rounds. Slashing and shooting at seemingly random times as they broke through the front line of Dark Eldar. Arlecchino charged forward as he somersaulted through the air that was filled with gunfire before his elegant power sword stabbed a unlucky Dark Eldar, splattering blood from the wound. His holo suit distorting his form, making it almost impossible to hit the Harlequin leader as he went on a rampage.
Hamlet laid down fire support with their Shrieker cannons along with two other death jesters as they desecrated the room, any Dark Eldar who were unluckily shot or even scratched by the modified Shuriken cannons, immediately found there blood begin to boil and their organs rupture before exploding because of the projectiles used being impregnated with genetic toxins.
Columbine the Shadowseer simply stood their before drawing back a breath with the perfect note leaving her mouth, however within a second the note changed to that of a Banshee's scream as immediately waves of sounds role forth, breaking the first line of Dark Eldar defense as their bones shattered from the octave of warp energy, a few unlucky ones held their heads before yelling in pain as their brains exploded.
Doom had encountered another form of metal cover with a few Dark Eldar shooting at the Doomslayer from behind it. The Marine cracked his neck in annoyance as the purple splinter ammunition bounced off his armor. He rushed forward at unnatural speeds before shoulder bashing straight through the Dark Eldar cover, tossing fragments of metal everywhere.
The Dark Eldar stumbled before Doom took out his shotgun, firing a grenade with the lower barrel into the middle of them as their bodies were tossed through the air like ragdolls.
He was about to rush forward toward doors at the end of the room before a object landed beneath his feet. It glowed with purple energy before blowing up, tossing the Marine through the air as he landed on his feet with a grunt. Now he was pissed as he scanned around to see who threw it.
A squad of Wych's revealed themselves in their revealing armor as they grinned, the room battle going on was behind them as they had successfully separated Doom from the rest of the Harlequin's. "Why you are a strong Mon-keigh, you will make a good pet." there leader said.
Doom chuckled before cracking his knuckles, "And you... Should put some fucking clothes on." he said to the eight Wych cultists
There leader frowned before the Wych's jumped into action, Doom was a bit surprised at how fast they actually were, as they seemed to be all over the place. One of them dashed right past the Doomslayer, her knife causing sparks as it attempted to slice through but to no avail.
Doom attempted to blast her with his shotgun only for her to dodge out of the way in cover. Doom growled, before another attempted to cut him at the shin. However Doom anticipated it this time, grabbing the Wych by the hair as she screeched like a harpie before Doom lifted her up as she struggled. The Marine grabbed his shotgun before pressing it against her exposed belly button and pulling the trigger, blood and guts were thrown around the place before her struggling ceased as blood slowly dripped from her mouth.
The Marine simply dropped her before turning around, the other Wych's now looked more cautious.
"She will be hard to replace... However even your strong armor cannot protect you forever toy."
Doom glared at her in anger, "I think your misunderstanding something-" Doom said as he took out his heavy assault rifle. "-I always end up on top in the end." before a rack of micro missiles opened up next to the barrel of the gun.
Within an instant a barrage of Micro missiles were sent forth, the Leader Wych eye's widened before she dodged out of the way. The Wych behind her got stabbed right through the chest with the missile before it blew up. Another Wych got caught in the explosion of Missiles as her body was completely shredded.
The other Wych's quickly got over the shock before charging forward. Screaming in rage at the death of their sisters, which Doom was going to exploit.
The first Wych attempted to stab at him with her wicked knife, the Doomslayer caught her wrist before twisting it. She screeched as she dropped the blade before Doom punched her right in the face, her head ceased to exist as it exploded into fragments.
The second Dark Eldar attempted to slice and dash away, except that the Heavy assault rifle's purpose was to pick off fast targets. The gun materialized in his hands before he fired, missing the first few shots until he tracked it better, nailing her by the upper body as he shoulder was blown off before the rest of the 50 FMJ rounds tore her to pieces.
Third one had tried a different tactic, staying a distance away as it drew out a deadly multi bladed Razorflail before cracking it forward like a whip. It caught Doom's assault rifle before pulling it away as the rifle clattered towards the floor.
Doom was now super pissed, nobody ever got rid of his access to weapons. He was about to rush forward before a Wych jumped behind his back, attempting to stab him in his chest plate.
Doom caught her hand just inches before the dagger hit his armor before swinging her arm downwards with his own. The Wych smashed against the metal ground with a loud crack before Doom held up a foot and stomped directly on her head as her pretty brains splattered against the ground.
The other Wych with the Razorflail attempted to strike at him again, wrapping her weapon around Doom's left hand. However the Marine wrapped his own hand around the whip before grabbing the cables on the Razorflail before tugging backwards. The Wych was pulled forward as the Dark Eldar screeched in surprise before Doom drew his hand back and plunged his metal hand straight through her chest. Blood dripped out as the Eldar coughed up blood before slumping over.
The Leader Wych now looked enraged as she hissed at Doom before she got ready to pounce. Doom raised both hands up in defense.
However her attack never came as the Dark Eldar's face twisted in confusion before she screeched in complete agony. Her flesh looked as if it was being torn inside before her skin exploded like a pinata. Doom was immediately covered with blood and guts as he wiped it away before looking back at where her body used to be.
A familiar Blood soaked Solitaire with a strange device in his gauntlet as it drew back a mono filament wire from what used to be her corpse. The Harlequin looked at Doom for a second before giving a small wave.
Doom chuckled a tiny bit before laughing hysterically, "Holy shit dude, that was fucking priceless." The Solitaire hung his head down as if he was embarrassed from the attention before looking back up.
"Alright enough of that shit, lets get to the control room." Doom said as he picked up his assault rifle. Doom and the Solitaire ran back to the main room battle which was just finishing up. A few troupe player's lied dead on the ground. Even in death they looked staged as they had hand raised to the ceiling as if reciting a dying monologue before passing away despite the grievous injury's inflicted on them.
Arlecchino immediately spotted the Slayer, "It is time to finish this performance. But the door requires some sort of biological scan" The Harlequin said before pointing towards a metal sliding door with some sort of head level scanner next to it.
Doom looked to the side before spotting a dead Dark Eldar. Wordlessly he grabbed the Warriors helmeted head before tearing it off, holding the head before he pressed it harshly against the scanner. There was a beep before the door opened, about 3 Unarmored Dark Eldar stumbled back in terror with meager splinter pistols as they attempted to fire at Doom.
The Marine scoffed before cracking both of his fists once more, walking inside casually. The sound of ripping flesh an screams of agony was heard before Doom came back out covered with even more blood, giving the Harlequins a thumbs up.
The Troupe wasted no time as they rushed inside, interacting with the various council's before the phantom lances shown through the purple tinted window began to turn towards the Dark Eldar escorts, opening up with it's array of weaponry.
The first lance of dark matter struck the escort, blowing it up in one shot before the other escorts attempted to boost out of the way but to no avail, as the lances quickly turned and fired upon the other two escorts, disabling them.
Doom patted his hands together, "All in a day's work." Doom said as Arlecchino came up next to him.
"I must thank you Doomslayer for joining us, a lot more of our brethren would have lost their lives." The Troupe master said to which doom simply shrugged.
"Eh, no problem... But you think you can do me a favor?"
"Anything so long as it doesn't conflict with my God's aims."
"I cleared out the lower decks but I couldn't help any of the slaves down there. You think you can get some of your men to evacuate them?" Doom asked.
The Harlequin looked up in thought, "A strange request in this Grim Dark future." Before looking back down, "But it will be done."
"Good...-" Doom said before spotting a final elevator, this time the map showing that it lead directly to the bridge.
"-Because I have unfinished business to attend to."
