I do not own Warhammer. I only own my OC
The readers find themselves walking through a dimly lit room after they had arrived on the ship. As they went down the hallway they happened to notice the sounds of muffled screaming along with some strange music. Coming to a door they were about to open it when Rogue steps out wearing all adidas and a fur hat.
Rogue stared at them as he slowly closed the door.
"I am here!" Slim Prime yells from another room
As he closed it faster the readers could make out the sounds of Slavic hard base as well as the sounds of the Soviot national anthem Loli addition.
"CYKA BLYAT!"
"Welcome as you can tell Slim is a bit busy right know under some…" Rogue pulls out a note card. "Re… edju.. cation…" Squinting his eyes he looks again "Re-education of cores. Ya he is going through some thorough re-education."
"So I will be giving you guys his story as well as answering some questions."
"To two of are guest one has a health problem and the other seems to have been a servant of Slaanesh."
"The third had an interesting Idea and me and the guys have been talking about it." Rogue Leans in as fire glints in his abbisle eyes "me being all for it as I love the Dark Souls universe."
"Now to my dear little Legion. Uncle Ragnor was a Legion of the Damned soldier so does that answer your cognitive's question?"
"Inquisitors… Good for you guys? I don't know never really cared anyway."
"Not Tzeenesh…" Rogue looks back at the reader. "Seriously Tzeenesh if you want a mind tease think of this. Approximately 99% of all matter is empty."
"To the other Inquisitor look at my comment to the last one. Also the list time I cared about Heresy was when I thought it was a special type of cuisine but it all taste the same."
"Now leave me I need to re-educate R.O.W. and Slim." With that Rogue walks back into the room as he pulls out a book titled Manifesto of the Communist Party.
"Now where were we?" Rogue asked walking back into the room.
"When I get out of here i'm going to mail my boot to the Kaiser with your ass around it!" Slim Prime yells from his seat.
"Now Now comrade we shot the Kaiser years is why you need to remember your Russian history." R.O.W. says clearly already brainwashed.
Then the door shuts.
Wolfgang approached the stadium doors, to a normal man these doors were monstrous, impossible to open without the assistance of machines. However, to a knight these doors were just a formality, a courtesy. A door such as this would only serve to slow down a fight for a moment, a single swing of a first and this door was no more. As the House Rose knight approached the door it began to open outward letting the sunrise rush in giving light to the dark walkway.
And so they stepped into the stadium.
The stadium was full, apparently word of their duel had spread rather quickly. Men, women, children all flocked to the academy stadium to watch two knights from two of the most powerful Houses on Reach. They were all safe in their seats as a very powerful void shield protected them from any form of stray rounds.
Wolfgang himself was among these people when he was younger, he remembered having a strange feeling come over him whenever a stay round was towards him. Being a member of one of the four great houses he had front row seats, mere feet away from the void shield. The round struck the void shield causing the small Wolfgang to latch onto his mother's arm. She of course comforted him.
Now he was in the Stadium and only his knight's armor and ion shield would protect him now. He felt a soft hand grab his, for a moment his vision returned to his cockpit. He turned his head to see Rosa sitting next to him on his arm rest. She was without her armor and her skin was in color as if she was made of flesh and bone. She had blond hair braided into a ponytail and her eyes were as blue as the sky, her face was scarred but she was still beautiful.
He smiled and nodded to her, his vision soon returning to his knight's. How could he forget, Rosa was here with him and he would not lose this fight. That Steiner bitch thought him unworthy, he did not become a preserver for nothing. Today she was going to lose to his knight, his old and broken AI, and a grade 4 preserver.
Wolfgang looked to the open field before him, five hundred feet from him a door simpler to the one he walked through opened letting out his opponent. The knight walked into the field as he did both coming to a stop when they were fifty feet apart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages welcome to the academy arena!" The announcer's voice came over the loudspeaker, the crowd went wild when they heard the voice of. "This is Duncan Fisher and on this fine evening we have a duel between two pilots from the two houses on our lovely world."
Duncan Fisher the voice of entertoyment city of Solaris. Solaris was a city built solely to appeasing the masses of Reach. If you had the money you could get just about anything in Solaris, someone to warm your bed for the night whether they be human or otherwise, gambling, famous buildings featuring the latest in technology. But there was one thing that drew the attention of the world and beyond, and that was the Knight Gladiatorial Arenas. All kinds of people flocked to these arenas when a game was about to begin. All of them wanting to see knights trade weapon fire with one another.
And at the center of it all was Duncan Fisher, there was not a soul on Reach that did not know who he was. Providing the commentary for every knight fight that went on in Solaris made him very popular. So popular that he could get just about anything he wanted in Solaris.
How he got from Solaris to Frodon in just a few hours, Wolfgang chose not to pounder. But he was here and ready to do his job, even if he wasn't being paid to do this match.
"From the local house, we have Wolfgang Rose and his AI partner Rosa!"
Wolfgang raised his gauntlet to the sky letting the electricity surge out creating a show in the air above him. The crowd started to cheer.
"And our challenger and all the way from the city of Rinas we have Norla Steiner!"
The steel and blue colored knight planted her power sword in the ground then clashed her fist together. The loud clack of her thunder gauntlet shook the ground around her. She then retrieved her power sword from the ground. The crowd started to cheer for her as well.
"Looks like our knights are ready to fight! Let's change up the boring black stadium shall we!"
The ground began to shake as ancient city ruin like structures began to rise out of the sand. Large arches, pillars, and other things one would find in an ancient city providing the two knights with terrain to deal with while having to watch out for the opposing knight.
A few moments of silence passed when the stadium had finished reforming only to be broken by a loud horn.
"Game on!"
Wolfgang shot into motion moving to his side to try and get a line of sight on his opponent. However, the enemy knight had disappeared into the ruins, her goal to get into melee range with the least amount of damage possible. Wolfgang made sure to say out of the ruins as entering them would make getting to him all the easier for the Steiner.
He looked down at his radar to see if it was picking up anything, but as it turned out his radar wasn't picking up anything. Most likely she was running on passive sensors or she had a jammer equipped to her knight. If she was running passive sensors, she wouldn't be able to pick him up either unless she came close to him. If she had a jammer she knew exactly where he was.
Wolfgang continued to stalk the outskirts of the ruins looking for any sign of the Steiner knight. However the Steiner knight was making sure that she was not seen from the outside of the ruins. So Wolfgang made the first move and started to mark spots that her knight was likely located at. His missile rack began to move pointing upwards before shooting out a salvo of missiles. Each missile shot into the air for a few moments before shooting down into the ruins at different locations. The tactic reminded him of that old board game called battleship.
However, his attack did not serve him any purpose other than to give away his position. Moments later the Steiner knight smashed through one of the old structures. Wolfgang turned his knight to face her but she was already nearly upon him. He was able to fire off his PPC just as she was coming into melee range bringing her sword down on him. Using his gauntlet blades Wolfgang was able to parry the blade as his heavy weapon went off.
The Steiner took the hit to her center chassis, the energy weapon heating the metal causing the surface layer to melt for a moment. With Wolfgang's gauntlet occupied with the Steiner's blade her own gauntlet was in position to strike. He soon found her fist meet his face causing his knight to stumble back from the blow.
However, the Steiner knight was not about to let him recover. She charged at him again brining her fist back for another strike. Having no time to steady his heavy weapon Wolfgang threw his knight's shoulder forward and sprung forward. Not in a position to dodge the attack the Steiner knight took the hit causing her knight to stumble back, thus buying Wolfgang enough time to aim his heavy weapon. He saw the Steiner's ion shield flicker into existence as he powered his PPC.
'I hope this thing works.'
Wolfgang fired his heavy weapon and to his joy the energy weapon passed through her ion shield and stuck her light weapon melting it. She looked over to her light weapon then back to him, he had a feeling she was none to pleased about the loss of a weapon. She charged at him again but this time she would not be caught off guard. Wolfgang dodged her charge by spinning left out of her charge, as he spun he prepared his fist to attack. As soon as he came out of the spin Wolfgang threw out his fist using the momentum of his spin to make his attack hit harder.
His fist slammed into her back armor, his blades cutting into her rear hull before the gauntlet activated creating a deafening thunderclap. The hit was so devastating that the Steiner knight fell forward, and landing on her face, her momentum carrying her a few feet forward before she came to a stop.
But this dual was far from over.
The Steiner's missile rack spun around to face Wolfgang before unleashing a full salvo upon him. Wolfgang angled his ion shield accordingly to block the attack, but he was not the only one carrying special weapons. Just as the short-range missiles were about to collide with his shield they turned away from him going around his knight before turning back into him. The entire salvo hit his rear armor blowing off pieces of armor and exposing his internal structure.
He felt his body begin to strain under his weight and coolant being to leek from his rear. He could not take another hit like that, less his knight crumble under its own weight. There was only one weapon that could do what those missiles just did.
Pressure Point Seeker Missiles, a deadly weapon developed by House Steiner to hit the weak points of enemy knights, with the individual missile controllable by an AI. The processes for making these missiles was a closely guarded secret kept by House Steiner.
When Wolfgang looked up, he saw the Steiner knight getting to her feet and turning to face him. He could almost see the smirk on her face. Her knight didn't look like it had taken a whole lot of damage from Wolfgang's attack. Her knight was newer meaning it could take a lot of punishment and keep going couple it with the fact that her knight was built for melee combat made it even harder to put this knight down.
Wolfgang was going to losing if he kept fighting her like this.
"What's the matter Rose?" Norla's voice came over the comm. "That old relic of yours running out of steam or are you really just that weak?"
Wolfgang narrowed his eyes.
He could not beat her in straight up combat, she was the assault marine in this fight and he a guardsman with fancy Lasgun. He was not going to win in straight up combat, he needed to use his brain. He was more than just a knight pilot; he was a preserver and preservers win with their brain more times then they do with their weapon.
Wolfgang launched a salvo at his opponents feet kicking up sand creating a smokescreen for him to make a move. With her vision on him blocked he took off into the ruins, he needed to break away and come up with a plan to deal with her. She would be hot on his tail, so he did not have much time before she began following him again.
As he predicted his opponent was quick to chase after him, and from the sound of things she was smashing through anything in her way to get to him. Wolfgang on the other hand made sure that his moments were careful taking care not to do any damage to the buildings around him. For now the only way for her to follow him was to follow his tracks but even then those were soon to become unreadable.
He continued to dodge and weave his way through the ruins, the sound of the Steiner smashing through anything in her path followed him. He had Rosa track her course by all the noise she was making, then he had her fire missiles at her based on that course. His missile rack turned to the direction of the noises and began to fire at them. Wolfgang tracked the missiles' progress on her radar and to his joy the missile hit something that was not ruble.
Wolfgang kept this up for a few minutes before his radio cracked again.
"Stop running coward! You call yourself a knight, you are nothing but a peasant in knight armor!" She sounded like a mad dog. "Fight me you coward!"
'As you wish.' Wolfgang thought to himself.
Wolfgang came to a stop moments later turning to face a cloud of dust come his way. He powered his PPC and aimed it at the ruined buildings that were in the cloud's past. Moments later his opponent came running through the building. He noticed that the knight's paint had all but been stripped off and the armor had plenty of dents in it from all the buildings she was running through.
He fired his heavy weapon. The bright blue energy beam hit the Steiner knight's missile rack seconds later. The energy beam punched through the battered armor and hit the missiles that had still yet to launch causing them to detonate. The resulting explosion made the Steiner knight stumble and shudder while bits of her upper armor went flying.
Norla hated him, she was fully prepared to wipe the floor with him then leave like it was nothing. It was going so well for her, she had him in close range with him on the defensive. But then that damn peasant turned and ran in the ruins, delaying the inevitable. So she chased him and he ran, firing missiles at her as he did.
Her AI told her that she needed to stop running through the buildings as the Ion shield would not have enough time to recharge to stop the crumbing buildings from damaging the knight. But she was not about to listen to that stuck up AI, she had the better knight, she had the better weapons, and a few buildings would not stop her.
After three minutes of him yelling in her mind to stopping running around like an animal she decided to shut him out completely. With her AI completely shut out of the system she renewed her chase; her moments were a bit more lagged, but she would not let that stop her. She yelled at the Rose knight to stop running like a fight her.
An animalistic smile appeared on her face when she saw her radar show her enemy had stopped running. Now was the time.
She picked up her pace smashing through buildings as she raced to meet her enemy. As soon as she blasted through the last building in-between she found herself under fire from that new PPC. No matter she would still-
BOOM
Norla was shoved forward in her cockpit.
"Weapon destroyed, ammo explosion detected." The onboard computer reported.
She did not care all that matters now was that her enemy was in her sights. With a defiant roar she tripled her pace the only thing on her mind was the thought of ripping the Rose knight apart. His very existence was an insult to her, how dare her father marry her off to some Rose. He would die here and now!
As Norla neared the Rose knight, she launched herself at him. The Rose knight attempted to dodge out of the way, but she was not going to let him get away. Her power sword caught the upper arm of the Rose knight's heavy weapon severing it causing the weapon to fall to the ground.
She came to a sliding stop and turned to jump at the Rose knight again. She lunged at him blade aiming for his head. But the knight side stepped grabbed her sword arm as she went. Pain shot through her arm as the Rose knight began to pull on her blade arm. She tried to throw a punch at him but he was in a spot were her fist could not reach him.
She felt the Rose knight put his foot on her leg using it to get more power out of his pulling. Moments later she felt her blade arm ripped out, she cried it pain as her arm was ripped off. But her rage dashed the pain away as quickly as it came. Turning to face her enemy she readied her fist only to be met by her torn off limb coming for her face.
Her own severed limb hit her square in her face plate knocking her to the ground. The blow had sent her head flying forcing her vision back to her own body.
'NO IT'S NOT OVER YET!' She yelled internally.
She disconnected herself from her knight and pulled the emergency release on the cockpit hatch. The hatch hissed before it was blown off by the small explosive used to shoot open the hatch. She pulled herself out of her knight and drew her side arm. She pointed at the Rose knight that was now standing over her and began shooting at him.
The rounds bounced harmlessly off the knight's armor but that did not stop her from unloading a clip into the knight. After unloading two full clips into the knight and hearing the clicking noises from the gun she threw it at the knight. It bonce harmlessly of the knight's face plate.
The sound of hissing came from the Rose knight as its hatch opened allowing the pilot to get out. Wolfgang stepped claimed out of his right and looked down at the defeated Norla Steiner.
"GET DOWN HERE YOU BASTARD AND FIGHT ME!" She yelled at him almost as soon as he came out.
He did not move for a moment before stepping forward onto his knight's open gauntlet. Said gauntlet brought him to the ground where he stepped off. As soon as his feet touched the sand Norla ran at him yelling at with all her might.
However, she was no threat to him in this state.
Grabbing her carelessly thrown out fist, Wolfgang use her own arm as leverage to throw her entire body over his shoulder and onto the ground. He quickly put her in a choke hold cutting of her oxygen supply. She tried to pull his arm away from her neck, but she did not have the proper training to get out of a preserver's hold.
"Norla Steiner," He hissing into her ear but she could also hear his voice being repeated from his knight's speakers for all to hear. "For your miss conduct in this duel, I hereby claim you as my bondsman. You now serve House Rose under my direct command."
No, he did not just do that.
She tried more than ever now to get out of his hold, but her strength was fading and her vision soon turned black.
"Did you really have to do that Wolfgang?" Lord Rose said to his son. "I could talk Lord Steiner down from doing anything about the duel but claiming his daughter as a bondsman has put us with little options. He was claiming that we broke the terms of our agreement and threatened to send all his knights to take back his daughter."
It had been a few days since the duel and things had not gotten any better for House Rose and House Steiner relations. As it turned out Norla had used her authority to order one of the Steiner battle AIs to take her to Frodon to duel Wolfgang. By the time the knights sent after her arrived at the city the duel was over and was effectively taken prisoner.
The right of claiming a bondsman was an old tradition, mainly used to horror bound knight pilots to serve whoever defeated them in battle. It was a step up from a normal prisoner but still a prisoner nonetheless. Said bondsman was treated almost as a squire, having to fight for their bondholder until they were either released or join the house of there bondholder.
In the time since the duel Lord Rose had to go to the neutral city to meet with Lord Steiner. Things were heated from the get-go and they left on uncertain standings. Lots of threats were thrown and a lot of colorful words as well.
"He is attacking like I stormed Rinas and took Norla from their keep." Wolfgang replied while looking out the window of his dad's office. A transport had arrived yesterday to take Lanasya to the Soulseer academy for her to be tested. He could feel her frustration clear as day. "I can't imagine Lord Steiner is happy with his daughter as is. She had been in the communication room for some time now. We have also given Lord Steiner full access to live footage of her room. He knows full well that moving against us now will make House Steiner look bad."
Omael and Shawn were in the room as well, but they remained silent for the most part.
"And how long will that last my son, a few weeks, a few days? Do not forget that we are the ones trying to broker this cease fire. I would like it if we could avoid a civil war in my life time."
"I don't plan on holding her for long father."
"Explain."
Wolfgang turned away from the window to look at his father. "I learned a lot about my "fiancée" from our duel. The most prevalent being her self-honor and anger management problems. She came to duel me because she thought her honor had been tarnished by this arrangement, her anger led her to steal a knight to duel me. No doubt she was planning on beating me and thus declaring me as an unworthy husband. Frankly I feel she would not be a very good wife as she is now."
"So, what are you planning to do?"
Wolfgang smiled.
"Simple, as we speak Lord Steiner is privately disowning his daughter. She will not be able to go back to her home until she marries me. So, if I release her now, she will literally be on the streets and her pride will not allow that."
"So, if she wants to stay with us." Lord Rose commented connecting the dots.
"She will have to be loyal to us, giving us plenty of time to draw up some other way to end the cold war."
Lord Rose let a soft chuckle escaped his throat. "You are my son."
"Where are you taking me!" Norla demanded as she was being led by the arm to the main gate.
Wolfgang walked beside her while Omeal was holding her arm easily pulling the smaller human along. When they reached the gate Omeal tossed Norla forward, she stumbled as she was thrown forward by the large marine but regained her footing.
She looked back at them confusion written all over her face.
"Norla Steiner," Wolfgang began. "I hereby release you from my service."
"What?" She asked shocked.
"I have no need for someone like you in my services."
The large doors began to shut, causing the Steiner to come out of her shock.
"Wait!" She yelled running for the gates but they where nearly shut. Her body slammed into the large gate doors only a small sliver still be open. She began to bang her hand on the large doors. "You can't just leave me I can't go back!"
A faint smile appeared of Wolfgang's face. "And why is that?"
She looked away in anger grinding her teeth together. "Because my father has disowned me, I can't go back until I have married you. The moment I try to access anything from my family I will be publicly disowned."
"So, what are you going to do?"
She was silent for a moment. "I will in no way shape or form try to undermine you, this I swear on my honor."
'And all the pieces are beginning to fall together.'
The door to the room bust open as Rouge comes running out while holding a camera. "RUN FOR THE HILLS OR YOU WILL BE UP TO YOUR ARMPITS IN RULE 63!" The door shuts shortly after.
The room slim is in shakes. Shakings get louder. Door is busted down with slim coming out in her krystal armor (Play Star Spangled Banner Ear Rape)
"Oh Rogue, we have unfinished business you and I."
"I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WOULD TURN YOU INTO A HOT CHICK!"
"I'M ALWAYS SEXY MOTHER FUCKER!"
"FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT~~!"
Rouge dives through a portal before it closes shortly after.
