(Early Authors Note: Hello everyone! At last, the wait is over and with the beginning of this day comes part one of the Siege of the Arcturus! I worked really hard on this and wanted to make it as good as possible (to hopefully catch the attention of one The Judgemental Critter (look her up on Youtube, she does amazing and helpful RWBY reviews) and hear what she says on it). I also put in the second part of Raven's trials into the Bloody Klawz Tribe. I truly hope you all enjoy this chapter and look forward to part two! I'm already working on it as this chapter drops.
To DemonicOrder: Wow! High praise that I never thought I'd get while writing this Tale! To think I'd be compared to the Chaos God of knowledge and wisdom himself... I'm really just humbled and honored at the compliment. Of course, seeing as how Tzeentch won't like me staying up high on a pedestal for long, It wouldn't be fair to just step down, now would it? And yeah, having Merlot make a fully mechanized Penny was something I had planned ever since bringing him into the story, all I needed was the right moment to introduce it. Now, seeing as how that was only a prototype, it's clear Merlot was the one controlling it (in case you didn't know). But what he wants is something better? And when you see how he gets it... and the end result of it... it just might hurt more than Penny dying. Adam using the Lore of the Wild felt rather fun to put in a battle, I'll say that. The Lizardmen of course know nothing yet, Adam is more careful than one would think him to be. And is Cinder way over her head? Yes, yes she is. She's always been cocky in the show proper, and while there were some moments they actually show her cockiness biting her in the butt (to The Trifetca's jealousy) really bad, I thought I'd take it up a notch. Thanquol's Semblance was also a joy to write. It just felt fitting that the most well-known and well-liked Skaven of TWW (who I hope makes it into TWW3) would be the first to get his Semblance. And besides, he's pretty favored by The Great Horned Rat, so I thought: "of course his Semblance should be in relation to the bells!". It's also a reference to, how in the lore, it is mentioned how a hooded figure (who I believe to the Horned Rat) put a cursed bell of sorts atop the tall tower and it rang thirteen loud, long times. Then with the other tribes, we have everyone finally at the Arcturus, so there's that, and we'll touch on all the rest soon. Don't you worry. And finally, what with Grimgor's Semblance, I just don't know what to give him. I mean (and this is a serious question I'm asking you and all the others who read this), what powerful Semblance could you give to the Orc who's already an absolute monster and OP powerhouse to the point that he actually had the chance to kill Archaon the Everchosen himself? And, yes, I am still angry that Grimgor didn't kill him right then and there. It would have been so funny, and so fitting as a sick joke. I could just imagine it going: 'Oh, the end of the world was thwarted by Greenskins who are fighting for their own end of the world, except theirs never really got as close to completion as Chaos's.To Merendinoemiliano: Thank you! I'm glad I was able to capture the Skaven the right way.
To Deathwig: Now, I won't just go adding all those factions will-nilly. I have my own plans on where and when they'll be coming to Remnant, so don't worry.
And now, enjoy!
It was time.
With the word from Grimgor a 'good to go', Sporctacus called all who would answer to come and take part in 'one of the biggest scraps they've had yet'. Soon, with their might and near-endless hordes of green, the Arcturus would fall and many, many Greenskins and the like would be free to run amok across Remnant and further Grimgor's grand plan. Ashuk and Skabend were in their positions, Sporctacus had (finally) corralled all his boyz together into organized waves and units (fingers crossed none of them break formation). Grimgor Ironhide himself sent Mulldar, Ufthak, and the Krimson Killerz, as well. Greasus sent over Skrag the Slaughterer and a lot of his boyz to come and help as well. And of course Skrag's horde of Gorgers followed along. With so many warriors already here, Sporctacus felt that victory was for sure his. What's more, some more wandering gits caught wind of the attack and came to help.
Fire Kobolds of the Burnin' Boyz Tribe, led by their (quite literally) flaming boss, Sear Facemelta.
Apparently they just recently entered through Da Green Gate, and (after hearing about Sporctacus' plan) decided to come and help out. Those fire powers of theirs would come in handy, for sure. Tulbuk and Skulfink had also come as well. And as if the army couldn't get more large, the Cold Cuttas Tribe came, too! They've been rather bored up in Solitas and wanted to help Sporctacus with his plan. As a way to return the favor, they said. Already the army numbered in the thousands. It grew so large that several Greenskin and Ogre fortifications along with an underbelly of Trogpool were made. Funnily enough, an underground lake was found when tunneling beneath Trogpool and it housed more than a few Grimm. A swift battle took place and at first the Greenskins had the upper hand… at least until the leading Grimm appeared.
Now, this lake had been discovered before, but sealed up under mysterious circumstances. Sporctacus had never heard of this, but that didn't stop him from tunneling the place out. The first he or any of the Greenskins knew of the monstrous Grimm was a multitude of black tentacles bursting out of the water, each having four smaller appendages that had little teeth. Most likely used to drag away multiple victims. Already more than a dozen Gobbos (and even Orcs and Ogres) were dragged away, screaming, into the murky depths. Ashuk wasted no time in calling for his Orc Shaman to cast Morks Gaze upon the next tentacle that shot out. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened, but not how anyone (least of all the Shaman) hoped.
The main body of the Grimm emerged.
Its big, foul head (filled with hundreds of rows of sharp, jagged teeth) reared up, with big bulbous, pale red eyes. The fat (almost humanoid) body emerged afterwards with four tentacles (it's arms) following suit. Then came its dozen other tentacles down at the bottom. It was black all over, with bony protrusions coming from both its back and tentacles. The poor Shaman was immediately grabbed and was launched right into the beast's deadly mouth.
Morks Gaze was frantically cast at the beast, of course. But that seemed to only enrage it further. It started hauling itself out of the lake and then thrashed wildly about, causing rocks to fall, and many Orcs and Gobbos to die or get grabbed. Cavernous Grimm then managed to burrow through and attack also.
"Oi! Wez need more o' da ladz!" Skabend yelled.
A Goblin was already running back up to call for help, but he was trampled by freshly-arrived hordes from above. The rumblings from down below (not to mention all the noise) caught everyone's attention. But (as is the way with Greenskins) an argument soon broke out about who would get the killing blow, and some of the boyz were already dying to others' blades. Tulbuk moved in to stop the infightin' with an Itchy Nuisance spell. Good thing those types of spells work fast. After getting them all under control, now it was time to go to work.
Skulfink cracked his knuckles and said "Right then. Letz get dis done."
He and the others then charged into battle. Sporctacus, Ashuk, and Sear faced the monstrosity head-on while Tulbuk and Skulfink rode around it firing spells and bullets from scavenged weapons. Skrag stayed back and used his spells while also grabbing any pieces of the Grimm to put in his pot for a victory meal. A tentacle did a sweeping motion at the vehicles, hoping to crush or trip them up, but Skabend came in and cut it in half, keeping the machines moving. Two more were headed towards Sporctacus, but he jumped over one (leaving it to be run over by Skulfink's speeding Pump Wagon), and Sear came in and burned up the second with his fire breath.
Skrag then yelled "Have at this, ya big piece of sushi!" and used his bonecrusher spell to cause the great Grimm to stop and break all over. Its tentacles and its body seemed to just forcefully bend and break in terrible ways, but still it pushed on and attacked. Angrily munching on the heart of a bull Rhinox, Skrag unleashed his Bullgorger spell on Freezy and Frozer and their tribe as they charged the Grimm with icy cold weapons in their hands, and frosty spells being cast. While some were caught up by its tentacles, the sheer coldness of their bodies stung it so much that the Grimm quickly dropped them, only for them to get back onto the Grimm and hack and slash at it. Frozer cast his Spikey Ice spell and shot forth a dozen large icicles deep into the beast's chest, causing it to groan in pain even as Freezy used his ice breath and freezed its mouth shut.
"Shaddup, will ya?! You're too zoggin' loud! Just die already like you're supposed to!" Freezy yelled as he stabbed the creature over and over.
Ashuk, Sporctacus, and Sear then managed to claw their way up the beast as well, hoping to reach its head and blind it. A crew of other Greenskins and Ogres managed to hop on as well. But it was then that the monster seemed to show off its true form.
It started convulsing and twitching until its stomach opened up like a big, beaked mouth, and all of its tentacles split in half, now making even more than before. Its frozen-shut mouth soon opened in a great roar, causing more rocks to fall and more Grimm to come. The poor gits who were crawling up the stomach were immediately sucked in, while many others were grabbed. Sporctacus had fallen off when a tentacle made to grab him, while Ashuk still held on, but after almost getting thrown into the stomach-beak-mouth, he pulled back as well. Sear, Freezy, Frozer, and much of their tribes were able to jump off in time and back onto the ground, only to be occupied with fighting off more Grimm minions.
"Howsabout youz let us 'andle dis, eh?"
Sear then rallied all his ladz and at once they fired a massive fireball. It struck the giant Grimm right in the face. But just before the strike, the beast threw a great rock at Sear, but it didn't crush him. A dark red glow surrounded him as he blasted the rock apart with his fire breath, which seemed to be stronger and bigger. He even made a fiery group of Soopa Squigs (albeit by accident).
It stunned the Grimm long enough for the leaders to come up with a plan on getting rid of this monstrosity. Ashuk sprinkled Earth Dust on his metal bludgeon and slammed the ground, causing a big ledge of rock to shoot up. Skulfink then aimed his spiky-roller wagon towards the ramp while Sear shot another multitude of fireballs at Ashuk who swung them at the Grimm over and over again. Skrag also used his Bullgorger spell on the Spikey-Roller as it barreled its way up the ledge and towards the Grimm.
Skulfink then flew (a little bit) as he left the ramp, and then slammed into the Beastly Grimm with all the force of a train, knocking it back and crushing it between the rock wall and the spiky-roller. The Grimm, however, was still alive (yet badly wounded). It knew it couldn't keep fighting, so it fled back into the dark depths of the lake.
But (to add insult to injury), Sear let loose the flaming Soopa Squigs and they all hopped and bounced right onto the fleeing Grimm, effectively blowing off pieces of tentacle and body.
Who knows now what happened to that Grimm. None know how deep the lake goes, or if it even connects to the outside. So for all the Greenskins know, it might have died of its wounds. There were still the lesser Grimm to deal with, but Skrag simply said "Don't worry, ladz. I'll 'andle this one." Then, with a great yell, a burst of light shot from Skrag's meat pot and fell in the midst of the Grimm. What then appeared was the earth itself seemingly collapsing into a hole while rocky protrusions like teeth formed around it. All the Grimm then sank into the hole and were crushed by the rocks that dove in on them as the earth swallowed them all up.
When the dust settled, one would never think a spell like that even took place there.
After such a victory, Tulbuk ordered 'techno-defenses' in the great cave and a permanent guard should that giant Grimm come up again. Afterwards, the rest went back up to the surface and counted their losses. They lost a few hundred ladz (if mostly because of their carelessness), but overall still had enough to go after the Arcturus.
And that's exactly what they did.
Around this time,
within the Arcturus...
Bo'grish was bored sitting on his throne.
Sure, he could order his boyz to crawl through the vents and attack everywhere at once. But no one else has done it, so why bother? See, he won't risk his hide in a jailbreak if no one else (at the same time he does it) is doing it.
Same goes for Ozgrot. He could blow up his cell doors anytime he wanted. But he won't because it'll just be him and his one tribe of boyz against the whole group of Atlas soldiers. But… none of that is stopping one lone Gobbo. He's a Night Goblin by the name of Sneaky Lockbreaka, he belongs to no tribe, he just wanders around. He figured if no one else is gonna break him out, then he'll just break himself out. He was close to reaching the exit, too. But some other ladz called for him to get them out.
And now, 13 Orcs and a Goblin are stuck aimlessly wandering the Arcturus freeing more and more captives. At this point, you may be wondering why the guards (or the cameras) haven't caught this.
Well… blame their technician, Dave.
Being a Faunus, Dave didn't like working for these Atlas soldiers on this giant Prison boat. He hated it. So, to free himself of this job, he sabotaged the cameras causing them to go down indefinitely. Dave himself said he has no idea how to fix that. As for patrolling guards, they were quickly dealt with. They either travel in groups of two or four, so they go after the lesser group.
One thing leads to another, and Sneaky and his group are hiding right outside the experimentation lab where Vil Crulen resided. As this was happening, both Ozgrot and Bo'grish decided to quit waiting and just go ahead with the jailbreak. Ozgrot was preparing a mighty spell and Bo'grish was about to blow a mighty horn. Outside, Sporctacus and his army were stationed and ready, they just needed the countdown.
"Five…" Sporctacus said.
"Four…" Skabend said.
"Three…" Ozgrot said.
"Wait… wot comes before three?" Sneaky asked. "Does it matter? Keep countin' down!" Freezy yells.
"Two…" Skrag said.
"ONE!" Bo'grish yelled.
And then, utter chaos ensued.
Ozgrot casted the spell, blowing down the doors of his cell (along with multiple others by accident). Bo'grish sounded his horn and all of his minions bursted out all over the ship to attack guards as a blinding, heavy fog spread across the whole ship. Sneaky and his ladz burst into the lab (and just in time too, for Vil was about to experiment on Grabnatz). Ashuk and Skabend had also both sailed their fleets straight at the Arcturus just as Sporctacus, Sear, Skrag, Tulbuk, Freezy, Frozer, and Skulfink charged the fortified town. But the Atlas defenses were stronger than any of them initially thought.
Turrets were gunning down all the attackers left and right, Atlas robots were coming out in droves, and the Arcturus (to the inmates) was like a giant maze. Already a few of Ashuk and Skabend's ships were sinking. Of course, that didn't stop any of them from pushing forward and trying to take control of the whole place. Thanks to the Giants and Rogue Idolz, the gate and large parts of the wall were crushed, so the horde was able to enter the town. Most of the townspeople were too late in finding safety (they would never find any anyway), and were just cut down in the streets or captured. Progress was good for Sporctacus' siege, but all good things cannot hold out forever.
All the battle and death had drawn in multitudes of Grimm. From the land, sea, and sky they all mindlessly drove into the battle. The Tentacle Grimms shoot out their tentacles at any Greenskin or Ogre on the fleets and either pull them down to get cut and mauled by the Sulfur Fish, or just to strangle them. A giant Goliath barrels through the unprepared defenses of the green horde, making way for Ursas, Beowolves and Beringles. Already they bashed against the Greenskins and pushed through into the down, killing any they find in the streets (just as the Greenskins did with the townspeople, funnily (and ironically) enough). The seemingly endless hordes of them (while at first giving the Greenskins and Ogres glee at the prospect of an endless fight) soon start to dispirit and disperse the defenders, as no matter how many Grimm they seem to kill, more come in to quickly fill the void. Multiple breaches were already widening more and more as the Greenskins and Ogres scrambled to form defenses, launch counterattacks, and (under Tulbuk's guidance) repair the ruined Atlas weapons and defenses. But even with all of that, the Grimm have pushed too far in already.
The Beringels climb up atop the buildings and then jump on top of the Trolls and Ogres, aiming to knock them down and punch them to death. Some Boarbatusks charge through, knocking down or crushing anything in their way. Beowolves and Ursas attack the Giants and Idolz by attacking the legs, hoping to bring them down. In the air, Nevermores, Griffons, and Razorwings are attacking the Wyverns and (questionably built) flying machines the Greenskins have. As a group of Goblins were being pushed down to the docks, Sea Wraiths jumped up and pulled them under, their screams swiftly ended as they're pulled into the dark depths.
Skrag's horde of Gorgers kill everything around him and, while keeping back the Grimm due to their sheer savagery and strength, it still is not enough. "Oi! Firebelly, do your stuff and burn these rotten Beasties back into oblivion!" Skrag called out. An iron mask-wearing Ogre wielding both a staff with a brazier at the top and a big bottle of beer runs up to the frontlines as Ogres cheer him on and rally behind him. The Firebelly drinks up the beer through the mouth-hole in the mask, lowers the staff so the brazier is right in front of him, then burps long and loud. Remarkably, as the gas hits the fire it becomes fire itself, and with that, droves of Grimm are burned to death and everyone pushed forward and into the forest itself. With the Firebelly's powers, and the raw destructiveness of Greenskins and ogres in general, they cut down as many trees as they care to, so as to 'keep those sneaky gits from hiding'. At the forefront of it all, was Skrag the Slaughterer. That Ogre cut down every Grimm he saw, every tree that stood in his path, and anything that blocked his path of ruin and destruction. The Gorgers that protect him roamed all around him, killing whatever they did and soon the Grimm themselves feared them. But only for a little while, for they had a champion of their own. A massive rumbling was heard before, from out of the ground, emerged a giant Grimm with a ghastly face and spinning, churning rows of teeth. It's great clawed arms pulled itself out of the ground and soon its legs followed.
The massive beast stood over the halted warparty of Ogres and Greenskins as Grimm gathered around their leader. Then the Grimm opened its mouth and yelled an incoherent roar, got down on all fours, and dug back underground as the lesser Grimm swarmed their stunned prey. The giant digging Grimm occasionally popped an arm or head out of the ground to either grab or swallow a git unfortunate enough to get caught. Back Skrag and his party fled, hounded by Grimm and more Grimm until they made it past what meager defenses their forces had and prepared for the renewed onslaught.
Only, instead, the giant Grimm dug out from underground and burst out in the midst of them and crawled all around, crushing and destroying everything it could. Then came the lesser Grimm to overrun the defenders. Things were dark for the Ogres and Greenskins as they fought back with every bit of their might and power. But it still wasn't enough to stem back the waves of Grimm.
Sporctacus looked around him and feared he would face a crushing defeat. But no! He would not go down like this! He would not die! "Sear! You n' your Kobolds hold off da land Grimm! Ashuk, Skabend! Hold out there and beat back those swimmin' Grimm! Skulfink! Ram down the door into the Arcturus! Dem bat winged loonies up abuv'll be fightin' on their own. Skrag, go and deal with that diggin' Grimm, an' be ready to cook us another meal! The rest o' youze, follow me!" He and those who followed him charged through the Grimm separating them from Skulfink and formed a defensive ring around his and his tribe as they busted down the doors into the Arcturus. "About time you gits got 'ere! These stinkin' Grimm're everywhere! Hurry up and help us out, will ya?! I've already had to send off a few o' the ladz to ride about and clear the area for us. So, start helpin'! These zoggin' strong walls ain't breaking themselves down, now are they?" Skulfink said as he rammed into the great door for the eighth time. Other Greenskins decided to instead climb up the sides of the Arcturus and break in that way, but the ramp made to get out to the Arcturus (not to mention all the sea Grimm swimming all around) made that strategy very difficult. More than a few have already been dragged under the water by their careless swimming. Ashuk and Skabend were soon bogged down by all the sea Grimm surrounding them, but they were able to slowly and surely get as close as they could to the Arcturus.
"Get back, ya blighter!" Ashuk yelled as he cut a Sea Wraith in half. A Razorwing then dived down on him from behind, but was shot in the head by a harpoon fired from one of Skabend's ships. But before Ashuk could even take a breather, another Sea Wraith jumped up to try and drag him off the ship. Too tired to swing his sword, the Wraith grabbed a hold of him, only for Skabend to hop aboard and cut off its tendrils and watch it scurry, screeching, back into the water. "Come on, now, Ashuk! Wot happened to seein' whou would win our little bet o' ours? I'm already on 33 Grimm killed, how about you, eh? Hahaha!" The Goblin pirate captain said as he hopped back to his ship, cutting down more Grimm and saying (loud enough for Ashuk to hear) "34, 35, 36! Oh, you make 37, ya dusted git! 38… ya better hurry up, Ashuk! Or else I'm winning dis one!"
Frustrated at Skabend's antics (while also not wanting to lose the bet they made back in Trogpool), Ashuk got back up and, with renewed vigor and a bloody roar of rage, hacked down any and all Grimm (from land, sea, or sky) and said "28, 29, 30, 31! Die, ya git! 32, 33… that's right, keep on comin' so you can keep on dyin'! 35, 36, 37, 38! C'mon, Skabend! I'm already catin' up! 39, and 40! BRING IT ON!"
It was then, at this pivotal moment, that Greenskins remembered why he is called Ashuk the Bloody. For though he was not covered in the blood of humies or Faunus, he was covered in the dust of all the Grimm he's killed that day.
Thanks to Sear's newfound Semblance, he calls out a small army of fiery-formed ladz and with them, the land Grimm are finally being pushed back yet again. Skrag and his forces barrel through and beat back any and all Grimm back beyond the ruined wall before turning to face that speeding giant of a Grimm. Ashuk and Skabend have lost more ships than they would like, and they were not happy. Ashuk grabbed a tentacle and pulled a Tentacle Grimm out of the water and swung it around and around until slamming it into a leaping Sea Wraith, killing both. Troglagobs are jumping into the water to bring the fight to the sea Grimm, and they're holding out well enough to cause Greenskins that can't breath underwater (for very long) to have a go at fighting down in the water. Suddenly, Ashuk notices a turquoise glow around Skabend as he gets struck by a Sulfur Fish. The Orc pirate looks down at himself and sees a sea-blue glow surrounding him as well. Is this that Aura thing everyone's been talking about? Whether it is or not, Ashuk just keeps killing, while the fleet pushes for the Arcturus.
Meanwhile, Mulldar and the Krimson Killerz hold the center line of defense against the charging Grimm that break through Sear and Skrag's forces. They cut down Grimm left and right, even the ones up in the air that try to dive bomb them. Ufthak also casts his spells and blasts apart many of the dark creatures. As a Giant (aided by Ufthaks spells) is brawling with the Goliath, A lumbering Colossus charges through and knocks aside many Greenskins in its way, but Mulldar refuses to let this giant git get past him. He swings his mighty hammer, but is grabbed and thrown by the Colossus. The crushing strength should have killed Mulldar, but the black shimmer of his Aura saved him from that. Ufthak (light-green Aura shimmering after getting hit by a Beringel), after seeing Mulldar go flying, says "Oh no you don't!" and shoots out his staff hoping for something to happen.
And something does.
A big, green glyph appears behind Mulldar, allowing him to slingshot himself back at the giant Grimm that threw him. With a mighty shout of "DIE, YA GIT!" Mulldar unleashes his Semblance and his warhammer turns comically large, but still easy to hold (for him, at least). And then the Colossus' face is completely crushed by the enlarged hammer. As the giant Grimm starts to dissipate, Mulldar laughs and then looks towards the Arcturus, wondering what could be taking so long for them to break in.
Skrag, meanwhile, finally corners the Crawlie and says "Now I have ya, you stinking sneak! You want to eat us? Well, The Maw is gonna eat you first!" before summoning the power of The Great Maw itself. A rumbling is heard beneath the ground and soon, right beneath the Crawlie's feet, the earth opens up to a gaping hole of row upon row of sharp and jagged and endlessly churning teeth. The giant Grimm tries to escape, but it's already being pulled in by the sheer force of the Maw's hunger. Ignoring its screams and writhings, Skrag walks up to the Grimm's face (the only part of the body not churned into dust yet) and says "I hope The Maw found ya worth eating. You would've tasted bad for a victory feast anyways." and supercuts it with his bladed arms, sending the beast (screaming) into the hole of teeth to be devoured. Soon, when it was dead and its foul dust was gone, the hole closed and nothing was left but a few upturned teeth that turned into that of rocks.
Up above in the skies, the Greenskins are losing a lot of air (heh, get it?) to the Grimm. While they may win in terms of attack power, the air Grimm make up for it in rapidly fast attacks and sheer numbers. A swarm of Ravagers have already brought down three Orc Choppers (which are really just rickety, repurposed Dwarf Gyrocopters) and are running amok down below as well. Lancers are also causing much trouble by shooting out their stingers to pull out the Greenskin drivers and watch their machines crash to the ground. Of course, the Greenskins aren't completely down and out in the skies. They still have Da Bat-Winged Loonies.
Da Bat-Winged Loonies are an elite force of Goblins that have leather wings strapped to their arms and a many-spiked helmet with one larger, spikier spike on the top and center of their helmets, on their heads. At first, before they entered Remnant, they were just a bunch of crazy Gobbos who were too hyped-up on mushroom ale. However, ever since getting their twitching hands on Gravity Dust, they have actually experienced flight (or, in their 'shroom-addled minds, "soopa flight"). They accomplished this by smearing upwards-pushing Gravity Dust on the bottom of their leather wings, while smearing an equal amount of downwards-pushing Gravity Dust on the top of their wings. While this would probably, most likely, not actually work, we have to remember these are Greenskins.
Do we really expect anything less than them being able to defy the laws of physics (and on some occasions, the universe itself) and make the impossible possible? I think not.
Another thing is that a side-effect of their mushroom ale drinking leads to them being able to (aside from being terribly drunk and 'loonie', hence their name) move incredibly fast. This is actually how they can get themselves off the ground without having to run and then jump. Most of them can't even run straight, or they just trip over their own feet, anyways.
"I'MA OFF AND FLYIN'! DOO-DA-LOOP-DE-DOOP! WATCH ME GOOOOOOOO!" A Loonie screams as he charges right through the chest of a Nevermore and appears on the other side.
Yep… those are the Bat-Winged Loonies, for you.
Anyways, with them and the other flying Greenskins up there (not to mention covering fire from all the Greenskins and Ogres down below), they're standing a chance. Suddenly, all of the flying Grimm pull back, causing the Greenskins to think they're retreating and therefore give chance. However, they only pull back around their leader. A mighty roar is heard before a giant Grimm (known as a Zmaj, a three-headed Grimm similar to a Wyvern, but with three heads and a long, sinuous body) comes flying forward and snaps up a dozen Greenskins in each mouth. It then roared a deafening roar again before breathing fire down upon the forces below, both Greenskin and Grimm. Having lost much of their air forces, Frozer decided to summon his Ice Idol once again and have it deal with this new beast. He chanted the words and summoned the great lumbering construct of snow and ice (how Frozer was able to do this some speculate to be from him breathing his frost breath onto the forming construct) to attack the Zmaj. Noticing this equally large creature, the Zmaj flew down and grabbed onto the Idol with its front and back claws and by biting down on it with all three heads.
The ensuing battle was thunderous and destructive and caused heavy casualties to both sides. As the Ice Idol gave a heavy left hook to the Zmaj's left head (which knocked into the middle head, causing both to feel the mighty blow), the Zmaj's right head breathed fire onto the Idol, melting half its body, only for it to reform. The Zmaj then flew up into the air and rammed the Idol into the water, thinking that the sea Grimm would help in destroying this cold creature. Still the Idol fought on and managed to grab a hold of the middle neck and strangle it with one hand while holding back the other two heads with the other hand. As the Zmaj frantically tried to break free, it breathed hotter and hotter flames upon the Idol, burning it to only its feet. But even as the Idol quickly reformed yet again, the Zmaj escaped and spotted Frozer. Realizing that must be the one who created the construct, it dived for him and snatched him up.
"OIII! Put me down, ya ugly git!" Frozer yelled before he was then flung up into the air, and down towards the Zmaj's waiting open mouths. "Hold on, Frozer! Help is 'ere!" Skrag said as he used his Bonecrusher spell to cause the Zmaj to suddenly stop flying and writhe in pain before being able to catch itself just before it fell into the sea. It was soon attacked by some of the Bat-Winged Loonies, leaving Frozer to free-fall towards the Arcturus. "Ya think he'll be alright?" Freezy said to Skrag as the two watched the (loudly screaming) Frost Goblin hurtle toward the ship.
Only for them to both see him fall down (what was actually a chimney, of sorts) and wince when they heard a loud thud.
"Meh, he'll be fine. Now get back to crushin' these gits!" Mulldar said as he ran by them to uppercut a Beringel before enlarging his hammer to crush a crew of Beowolves that tried to jump down onto him from above.
Inside the Arcturus...
"Ugh… Oh, my 'ead is swimming." Frozer said as he tried to get up. Luckily, he had fallen on top of an Atlas soldier, breaking his fall (while also breaking the soldiers' back) and saving a Goblin from being shot to death. After regaining his wits, he wanders around amid the chaos going on and notices how the fight inside the Arcturus, contrary to the one going on outside, is going very well.
Ozgrot and his boyz managed to meet up with Bo'grish and his ladz. He knew that mainly because of all the mist and fog that soon surrounded the area.
That blasted Boglar just loves to use his Semblance every chance he gets.
Anyways, after joining up, the growing army runs into Snagla and his Deff Creepers before joining a battle between some Atlas soldiers and robots and Sneaky, Grabnatz, and all their boyz. The barricade was rather tough to get over since it was taller than the Trolls, but a couple of previously freed Giants solved that problem quickly and made short work of the defending opponents. After that, they decided to round up any and all other hummies on the Arcturus.
After all, none of them know how exactly to pilot a giant ship like this one.
Ozgrot blew his way into the control room where he found the ship commander sending a distress message.
"General?! GENERAL! T-the Greenskins, they launched a massive assault from land and sea! Now Grimm are attacking as well! The towns overrun and-oh… N-NO STAY BACK! AAAAGGGHHHHHAACKKKKGAAAAAA!"
Ozgrot had blown him up to pieces and crushed the message transmitter. No more words would be sent back and forth like that. Elsewhere on the ship, a massive rumbling was heard and a big boulder burst through the wall on one of the bottom floors, letting in both water and sea Grimm. Bo'grish got the news and grabbed whatever forces he could and charged into the bowels of the rapidly-gaining-water ship. It was dark, the only light being the glow of the surrounding Grimm's eyes.
Soon, they struck. A large mass of tentacles shot out and grabbed a hold of many of the Boglars and other ladz, but swift cuts from Bo'grishs' weapon, Bloodmista, ended that. Sea Wraiths then attacked, but the overwhelming force of green that they faced was so much that they were all slaughtered.
The hole was then sealed up (as best as Greenskins could fix it) and the battles continued. A Tentacle Grimm (hiding in the shadows), took the chance to try and kill Bo'grish by lashing out all its tentacles on him. Unfortunately, it failed. Bo'grish pressed a button, and Bloodmista turned from a dagger, into a small sawed-off shotgun and blew the skull-like body of the Grimm into nothingness.
"Roight. Wit dat outta the way, letz get back to work." The Boglar King said.
But then, the hole burst open again, spilling in Sea Wraiths and Sulfur Fish. As Bo'grish hefts up his weapon again, the Grimm and the hole freeze into solid ice. "Hah! Don't worry none, ladz! Your 'elp is here!" Frozer said, announcing his presence and standing (in his mind) epicly by the stairway. Sneaky, running up from behind with some reinforcements, notices the newcomer and his magical help and snorts before saying "About time you lot got in 'ere. Been takin' your sweet time, haven't ya? Where're the others, then?"
Frozer just chuckles and says "Oh, well… I only managed to get here from fallin' through a chimney. The others're helpin' you gits by fighting back the Black Beasties attacking from da outside. Now, if there's nothing more around here, why don't we go and see what else there is to have a scrap with around here, eh?"
Back with Sporctacus and the others...
Back outside, the Grimm were starting to lose ground and were being pushed back out of the town (most of the high walls were crushed by now). Sporctacus saw how all the boyz were tired, but he couldn't have them give up now.
"C'mon, ladz! Dis is the biggest scrap we've 'ad yet, so letz givit to 'em! WAAAAGGGHH!"
It was this Waaagh that finally unlocked (or rather, revealed) Sporctacus' Semblance.
As he shouted out his warcry, his body glowed a faint reddish-grey before getting stronger and more noticeable. A large forcefield-type thing emerged from him as he shouted and it gave newfound strength to the Greenskins that heard it, giving them a faint green color around them, before getting stronger as well. Even the Trolls (with their grey Auras) and Ogres (with their brown Auras) gained power and the will to keep fighting.
When Ashuk heard the shout, his Aura glowed also before he shouted his own Waaagh and held up his sword (not knowing it glowed blue with water swirling around it) and pointed it forward at the Arcturus, motioning for his fleet to push onward.
Only after he saw his sword did he see his own Semblance activate. From behind, he saw a vast, ghostly fleet of Greenskin ships quickly sail past amidst a following storm, and they rammed into the Arcturus and some into the town, still going. When they passed through fellow (living) Greenskins it felt like that fleet was a ghost fleet. Which it no doubt was. Skabend also felt his own Aura strengthen as he then noticed the water swirling around him. With cackling laughter, he shot out a piece of the water (which turned into the shape of a harpoon) and impaled a Sulfur Fish before it could land the killing blow on a River Troll.
"AHAHA! Now dis is wot I'm talkin' about!" Skabend laughed as he shot another harpoon-shaped blast of water at a diving Nevermore.
Skrag himself unlocked his own Semblance as well. He was surrounded on all sides by Grimm, his Gorgers separated from him, but once he felt the strength of Sporctacus's Waaagh flow through him, he felt a power of his own emerge and he opened his mouth wide. Far wider than a mouth could or should be lowered. With that, he soon swallowed all the Grimm (regardless of size) and let out a burp so loud it instantly dissipated the Grimm that faced it. "Ahahahaha! This is a nice little trick, alrighty! Who's next?! 'Cause I'm HUNGRY!" Skrag yelled as he charged into the retreating Grimm. Freezy also unlocked his Semblance and, by only cutting someone with his sword once, turned them into an ice statue before they self-exploded, sending shards of ice into the other Grimm, killing them as well.
Although, that didn't mean there weren't any Greenskin casualties.
Soon enough, with the newly unlocked Semblances of the Greenskin and Ogre leaders, the Grimm were all but destroyed. Only a few stragglers remained, but they were easily taken care of. During all of this, Skulfink's Road Raiderz had finally busted down the doors of the Arcturus and the whole army then spilled inside, but found mostly disappointment.
Most of the Atlas gits were dead, their tech messed up, and the ones that were alive (Dave was one of them) were needed to work the Arcturus itself. Instead, they found freed (and revelling) Greenskins everywhere. It looks like they did some of the work for them! Of course, not everyone was happy at the lack of another fight. "Awww, no fair! I wanted another scrap before really braggin' about it!" Grumbled an Orc. An imprisoned Giant was sitting down, munching on Atlas soldiers (armor and all) and mumbled something about "Ought… to have… 'urried up fasta'."
That, of course, didn't help the sour taste in some of the Greenskins and Ogres mouths.
After wandering around and making themselves at home, the leaders of the dual assault all met at last.
Sporctacus, Sear, Skulfink, Tulbuk, Ashuk, Skabend, Sneaky, Ozgrot, Snagla, Grabnatz, Bo'grish, Skrag, Freezy, Frozer, Mulldar and Ufthak all soon met at the bridge to go over their losses and simply boast of their individual victories. Being Greenskins, the meet-up wasn't all handshakes and pats-on-the-back, rather slight nods and I-helped-you-out-but-I-still-don't-like-you looks. Eventually, Sporctacus breaks the silence by saying "Well… 'ere we are! Those Atlas gits are all dead an' we have dis whole place to ourselves! Hahahaha!"
But the others weren't as optimistic about current events as Sporctacus was. They were still smarting from the terribly heavy losses they had. Not to mention the fact that a call for help was still able to be sent before they could stop it. Even more troublesome, the Zmaj was able to escape. While they normally would be itching for another big scrap, the Greenskins have been fought rather handedly by both the Atlas defenses and the Grimm enough for one day. Nevertheless, a victory was still gained and that was something to celebrate. "Hmph. Well, if dats the end o' it all, me, Ufthak, and da Killerz will be leavin'." Mulldar said after a small feast was held.
"Aye. We'll be off too." Snagla said, gesturing to him, Skulfink, and Ozgrot.
Grabnatz would be heading down to Menagerie to test out some Faunus-infused potions and brews. Bo'grish and his ladz would be heading over to Anima and Mistral, since they hear they have some good swamps and marshes there. Sneaky said he'll just be wandering around Sanus for a while, waiting for "another fun scrap".
Skrag nodded and said "Right, then. I ought to meet up with Greasus, then. We gots somewhere to be. He says that dragon continent will be the best place for 'is new kingdom, and I intend on seein' what it's like."
Freezy and Frozer said they'd be returning up to Solitas and see if they can't upgrade their base with all the new tech lying around the Arcturus. "But wez gonna take the scenic route and go through this place called… wot was it again? Ah, yeah, Argus, dats it! Sounds like a nice place of snow n' ice. Could be good for anotha' base!"
The only ones left are Sporctacus and Sear (who would be leading the newly-captured Arcturus), and Ashuk and Skabend, who would be sailing around with them.
"Oi, Skabend, before I forget, 'ow many Grimm ya killed?" Ashuk said with a smug voice. Skabend, already not liking the smirk, warily said "80. Why? What did you get? 56? HAH!" Ashuk just grinned evilly and chuckled as he said "Nah... I GOT 168! BEAT THAT, YA GIT!" Sporctacus just shook his head while the others laughed along and soon started comparing how many Grimm they each killed. Afterwards, they took a quick walk around the Arcturus to see what they now have to work with before returning back to the bridge.
As they all start to part ways, another massive rumbling is heard, and Pot Belly (who just so happened to have taken part in the battle) came in saying "There's a whole group o' Atlas ships flyin' in!" followed by a frantic Gobbo that confirmed it. Now, normally they would all be itching for another scrap, but the attack on the Arcturus (Grimm included), not to mention their newfound Auras and Semblances (along with the fact they don't fully understand them), left them tired and a little weakened. Even then, it's only one more battle.
And besides, who doesn't like one more battle before the end of the day?
They all walk out into the top deck and sure enough, a small fleet of Atlesian airships is nearing the assembled horde. A speaker sounds out from the leading ship, saying "Stop right there, Greenskins! By order of Atlas, you will surrender now! Refuse, and you'll be cut down like the Grimm! I, Specialist Winter Schnee, am in command here and will deal with you properly if you don't comply! You are already weakened enough and can't continue fighting! Drop your weapons and get on your knees!"
Skulfink just snorts and says "Say, Mulldar? Ain't dat the git Grumlock n' Gazbag were chasin' after, so they could go and get back them amulets o' theirs?"
The black orc nods and says "Yeah. 'eard they chased her all da way from Solitas to 'ere down in Sanus. Finally caught her in Beacon, too, if I remember right."
"Well, she's 'ere now. And if dats the case, then wez got ourselves one more good scrap before we all leave, eh? LETS GO!" Ashuk yells.
And with that, the whole army charges towards the Atlas fleet, with Ufthak launching both Mulldar and Sporctacus with his glyphs, while Ashuk (already sending his ghostly fleet forward) and Skabend get on their ships. Grabatz, Sear, Tulbuk, Bo'grish and Sneaky board their own flying vessels, while Snagla and Skulfink ride their own modes of travel. Skrag rallies his Gorgers and Ogres and prepares to charge the landing soldiers. Freezy and Frozer hop on top of their Ice Idol and lumber towards the fleet as their fellow Ice Goblins rode out onto the water in their (Gravity Dust infused) Seal-Squig sleds.
The defense of the Atlesian prison-boat has just commenced.
Earlier, back in Anima during the battle for the Arcturus...
Having escaped the Greenskins, Raven flew back to her waiting tribe and (after flying down to a bush and reappearing as normal) she said "We need to leave. Now. Those Greenskins won't be idle in looking for me."
Vernal was about to ask about the Dust, but Raven just said "Forget the Dust, just go! Back to the camp!"
Not daring to question their leader, everyone hurried away as fast as they could. They ran and ran and ran until they finally reached the walls of their camp and after closing and barring the gates, they herded everyone who couldn't fight to safety and made ready. Raven had a feeling those crazy Greenskins would chase her all the way here, and that's what she was banking on. She knows going up against that Giant alone would be her death, if her whole tribe fights together, then the Giant and maybe that stupid Shaman will both die.
Sure enough, they came.
The first they heard was a rumbling in the ground, as small rocks and pebbles moved by some big, lumbering force. Then they saw a massive dust cloud arise, followed by the chopping down of many trees that were in the cloud's way. These Greenskins were careless, and even worse, they were making a clear-cut path straight to her camp! Anyone could find her now! Once they dealt with the Greenskins, they'd be packing everything up and moving. Soon, they could all hear yelling, hoots and hollers, shouts and screams, the whole army sounded like a herd of madmen. Then came nothing but sudden silence. The dust soon dissipated, the noise stopped. There was soon nothing. Everyone held their breath as they waited for the Greenskins to do something. However, one impatient bandit walked up to the gate (ignoring the words of warning from everyone else) and cracked it open slightly to see what was going on. Instead, as soon as he opened the gate just a smidge, a massive tree was thrown at the gate, opening it wide and killing the bandit in an instant.
In poured the Bloody Klawz Tribe. They charged through like water through a broken dam and went to lay waste to the camp. "DAKKA-DAKKA-DAKKA!" they yelled as the bandits ran to fight them off, but were being beaten back. Raven cut down two Orcs as she ran to a fallen bandit's aid and pulled him up before running over to Vernal and saving her from an attack from an Ogre. She was tired, having to run almost all over the camp to save her people. The Greenskins were endless, they just poured into the camp without pause. It was like for every one cut down, four more took its place.
But then, Raven remembered the deal they agreed to back at Shion and (after climbing to the highest point in the camp) said "Zogger! I know you're there! We had a deal, remember? Bring out your next champion, and let's get this over with! No one else needs to die."
The battle paused for a moment as Raven called out the Shaman, and soon a cackling laughter could be heard. Zogger soon stepped forward with the Big 'Un Orc behind him. "So? You still wanna be Boss, eh? Well, then 'eres your next match! Bonebreaka, go and crush her!" The Orc behind him walked forward as Greenskins cheered his name and watched as he and Raven squared up, ready for fighting. The two stared at each other before Bonebreaka said "Oi, git, 'fink fast!" and threw dirt in her eyes. Raven's tribe growled and made to jump in, but Raven held up a hand to stop them as she rubbed the dirt out. All the while, Bonebreaka taunted her, saying things like "Aww, did the little birdie lose her sight? Can't see none, now can ya? Wot? Ya can beat Nurjug but ya can't stand against dirt? How weak are ya, ya git?"
Raven, enraged at such a dirty trick, charged the Orc, only for him to dodge and stamp down on her foot, causing her to trip and fall. This Orc played dirty, but Raven would play dirty back. No one humiliates her in this manner.
She got up, and threw a Dust crystal at the Orc, but he caught it and threw it toward the bandit tribe instead, causing many to soon be dead or injured. "That was a dirty trick, that was! But ya missed ya target!" Bonebreaka said again. Raven yelled as she charged the Orc and swung wildly, missing many times, and her only strikes glanced off the Orcs Aura. Raven was growing tired of this, but she didn't want to use her 'last resort'. Not yet, at least. Instead, she put Ice Dust into her sword, and waited for Bonebreaka to make a move. Since Raven stood there waiting, the Orc got bored and did as Raven hoped by charging her. As swift as a snake, Raven turned to the side as Bonebreaka tried to gut her, and swung her sword down on the Orc's outstretched arm, freezing him solid.
She then swung again, shattering him to pieces.
Silence hung over the crowds until both the bandits and orcs cheered, chanting "Raven! Raven! Raven! Raven!"
Zogger, however, just threw his cloak to the ground and stamped on it as he said "Agh! No! No! No! No! No! No! NO! Keep fightin', git! One o' these matches, your luck is gonna run out!"
Raven just smirked at the enraged Shaman as she basked in the cheers of her people. But Zogger wasn't done yet. He turned and nodded to a Goblin who chuckled and pressed a button, causing a whirring noise to be heard. Everyone looked around until they saw it was the gauntleted Ogre. His weapons were seemingly powering up and when the noise stopped, the Ogre suddenly looked like a robot. From the look of his appearance, he must have gotten the gauntlets from an AP-06 and modified them with weapons and the ability to cover the wearer with a battle suit of sorts. Zogger chuckled as he said "What're ya gonna do now, eh? For sure you can't beat Cruzko an' his powa' armor! Go on and have at it!"
Raven, already exhausted from the battle with both the tribe and Bonebreaka, only narrowly dodged the explosion fired from the Ogre's right gauntlet. She then had to run around as he then used the SMG on his left gauntlet to shoot her down as well. This Ogre was strong, and he knew how to use his suit, that's for sure. Cruzko then pressed a button, activating his rocket boots (yes, rocket boots) and flew as fast as a bullet towards Raven, who managed to swing around a tree and hit him in the back. Cruzko (since he was going far too fast) wasn't able to turn around in time, nor was he able to avoid slamming into a part of the wall around the camp.
Grunting off the debris and pain, Cruzko looked back towards the gasping Raven and spat at her before yelling out a battle-cry, reloading both his gauntlets, and firing a hailstorm of bullets and bombs.
Amidst the ensuing battle, The Trifecta, Ghadol, Hurlrok, and Zaouli were laying waste to a village when they heard the calls of battle.
"Ooooohhhh! More fighting! Which means more play-things!" The Trifecta said as one, as Hurlrok continued choking a human to death with his own vomit and Ghadol simply rolled his eyes as he went back to flaying a woman alive. Zaouli looked around before sighing and saying "Am I really the only one who thinks with a brain and not a 'tentpole', blood-lustful instinct, or want of sickness? Hey, all of you! If another battle is going on, let us see who battles. Perhaps a fine woman? Perhaps a mighty warrior? Or perhaps the healthiest mortal we have yet met? Hmmm? Come on, then, let's go! Our servants can deal with things here."
At each question, the other Daemon Champions all gathered together and nodded as they went to where this new battle was. Of course, they refused to go on foot so they all hopped in the Remnant-Rover 4Hundo. The only way to travel across Remnant.
At least that's what the commercials always said.
Rolling up towards a rickety wall (with the noises of battle and cheering just beyond), the six Daemons floated up the wall and peaked over it to see what was going on. They saw a ruined encampment filled with humans and Greenskins who were (in a circle) watching a fight between a woman with a great red sword, and a… cyborg Ogre? And of course, each had their different thoughts on the whole matter. Ghadol simply thought it was a grand fight that he would very much like to be a part of (and win). Hurlrok and Zaouli wanted to keep watching and corrupt the victor of the battle.
As for The Trifecta… they didn't care for the battle, or the death and destruction, no. They didn't even notice any of it.
All they saw and kept their eyes trained on was the woman fighting.
She was tall, skilled, beautiful, had red eyes and black hair (two things the trio preferred in women), and had partially torn clothing. The only reason they cared about that was because they were able to catch a glimpse of the side of her breasts. Now, after seeing that, they all shared the same thought of what she must look like underneath all that stuffy clothing (they also each shared a, well, erection and soon felt the need to go behind the trees).
"Well, uh, be right back. Eh-hehehe…" Perv said as the three ran off behind different trees, soon letting out groans of pleasure at… whatever it was they were doing. When they came back (after fixing their pants) Hup'Kala said "Ahh, much better."
"You disgust me." Hurlrok said, only for Luthra to quickly retort with "You're one to talk. You're just a walking vessel of filth and nastiness."
Tired of their bickering, Zaouli said "Enough! Quiet! Look now to the battle."
For things seemed to have changed.
Back with Raven...
Both Raven and Cruzko were starting to tire as they kept fighting. Even with all the tech and weapons, the Ogre soon started to stumble in his steps and nearly tripped twice. But still he fought on to win the highest favor of Zogger. In desperation, Cruzko turned his power suit all the way to 100% power and unleashed all his ammunition on Raven, yelling "DDIIIEEEE!"
Raven only stared at the barrage coming to her, too tired to move. Suddenly, a purple… being appears in front of her and blocks the attack like it was nothing. The being then turns and faces Raven, then says "Ah, Pardon mon cheri. I seem to have arrived just in time. I will handle this foul brute for you." before turning back to face Cruzko. But after his attack was blocked, Cruzko died of exhaustion.
Imagine everyone's surprise!
Soon, five other humanoid beings come down and soon everyone is just confused and looking at them, before Zogger says "Oi, ya gits! Ya ruined the match! That humie was gonna die fer sure! Now lookit wot ya did!"
The blue one just replied "Oh, pish, pish. What does it matter? You still have three more champions, do you not?" He then turned to Raven and said "Greetings. I am Zaouli, the Three-Eyed Eagle, emissary of Tzeentch. The red one is Ghadol, emissary of Khorne. The green one is Hurlrok Bile, emissary of Nurgle. And the three purple ones… they are Hup'Kala, Perv, and Luthra, the Trifecta Le Perversia and emissaries of Slaanesh. Who might you be?"
Gathering her composure (and energy), Raven said "I am Raven Branwen, leader of the Branwen Tribe. These Greenskins have agreed that if I can beat all their champions, I can then lead them. Now, if you don't mind me asking… what are you?" Zaouli simply chuckled and said "My dear, isn't it obvious?" He and the others soon banded together and seemed to rise in height while all others shrank, then they all spoke as one, saying "We are the chosen of the Dark Gods. We are sent to bring this world into an age of ruin and Chaos. We are destruction. We are pestilence. We are desire. We are knowledge. We… are Chaos."
(Ending Authors Note: Yep, this is it! Part one of the siege of the Arcturus and soon part two will come out! ooh, boy, just wait till you all see what I have in store for part two! As for Raven and the Bloody Klawz, I hoped you liked the way the second part of that adventure was written. I of course have plans for everything to connect, just wait and you'll see. Oh, and before I forget, if you're wondering what The Trifecta envisioned of Raven, head to Deviantart and look for a nice piece of artwork titled Raven by BikoWolf1 (shout-out to that artist, by the way, 'cause I originally had no idea how to describe what The Trifecta imagined, but with that good artwork, that problem was solved).
And yes, those three did you what you think they did.
Now, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and are looking forward to part two! Please review, follow, favorite, share with others, and the next chapter will come out soon!
But before I forget, let me introduce some original Grimm of mine:
First are the Sea Wraiths. They are basically the Ice Wraiths from TES 5: Skyrim (I love that game) but with a Grimm twist and, while able to move on land, move much faster in the water.
Next is the Crawlie. I honestly didn't base this certain Grimm off of anything that I could think of (it was honestly a last-second idea), but I can give a description of it. If any of you guys know of Siren Head, then that is what the Grimm's body looks like. Its head, though, looks similar to the Whispering Death from HTTYD and is only able to face upwards (when standing). Hence why it crawls on all fours when above ground.
Then is the Colossus. This one is another thing based on something from TES, but instead of from Skyrim, it's from the lore of the game series itself. See, the Colossus is based on the Numidium (which is basically a giant robot built to become a new god). That was my shortest way of explaining it, but if you want to know more, look up Fugdemuppet or Double Negative on Youtube.
And then is the one our band of greenies face against in the lake beneath Trogpool. I don't really know what to call that one since I based it off of the monstrous form of the Aquarius Zodiac sign. If any of you guys have any good names, please let me know. The best one will be used from then on.
And finally, is the Zmaj. Now this guy is actually based on the Slavic dragon with the same name. However, unlike the Slavic dragon, this one is lean, mean, and terrifying. It also doesn't have a ram's head.
The Bat-Winged Loonies and the Ice Idol are also original Regiments of Renown I made. I hope you guys like these new Grimm and Greenskin fighters. Again, please review, follow, favorite and share with others, and I hope you guys really loved this battle of the Arcturus and Raven's continued trials for gaining the Bloody Klawz Tribe as her own. See you next time for part two!)

Oh, you guys are still here? Good. You see, I planned to release this chapter on December 1, but I recently read a message that changed plans. But before I elaborate, I need you guys to listen closely. Okay, what happened was that a good person by the name of Tendaysromeo PM'd me this message here:
"Hello there and I'm sorry for the bother but I just want you to be aware of a user named HayasuiSan or SC2Hayasui. They claim to be a fanfic writer that plans on launching their stories called "Unified Legion" in 2024, a whole chunk of them in fact.
Problem is... HayasuiSan had a nasty habit of copying other fanfic writers' works such their personal OCs, concept ideas, plots, titles of the fanfic and as well as chapter titles without their permission. And when called out, they'll ignore things and will delete them messages of them being called out.
Heck, in the Unified Legion Wiki, HayasuiSan had blocked every users, aside from one, and even blocked users that just recently created an account in order to keep everyone from calling him out and prevent anyone from seeing their nasty actions.
Two fanfic authors are already having problems with HayasuiSan and there is possibility that they'll copy things from other fanfic authors, such as yourself, without your permission.
Now, I'm not saying that you should attack him or whatever but I just want you to be aware. Visit the Unified Legion Wiki, from time to time, browse the pages linked in the Unified Legion (Story) page and see if your stuffs had been copied and if it does, then screenshot it for evidence and then posted it in the All Worlds Alliance Wiki's Discussion board where we can be used as evidence for HayasuiSan's actions.
I'm sorry once more for the bother but I'm just spreading awareness. Thank you for your time."
Now, with all that said, I ask that you guys also take a look at this United Legion Wiki and see what can be seen. I really want to hope this person, HayasuiSan, hasn't done anything with by stories, but I still check anyways. If you can, please help and look through the Wiki as well.
Alright, that's all. See ya around for part two, gits.
