Elianareth's Gift
The remaining Dark Eldar were pushing forward as the Aspect warriors steadily were forced to fall back lest they suffered casualties. However when the Kabalite warriors reached a window, they gaped in shock when they saw their own ship open fire on her escorts before immediately backing up, giving the Aspect warriors the perfect moment. Using the surprise to their advantage as the Banshee's rushed forward and the dire avengers opened fire. Cutting and mowing down the front line of the Dark Eldar before the rest of them began rushing back to their cruiser.
Macha, now a bit exhausted, smiled lightly as she watched the Dark Eldar ships blow up in a purple haze. The plan worked, and the Harlequin's were to thank for it.
"Admirable work Troupe Master." Macha said as she spoke to him using her farseer powers.
There was a pause before the Harlequin responded, "A pleasure Farseer, however we would have suffered way more if it were not for the Doomslayer assisting us."
"So you truly were correct. Where is he now?" Macha asked.
There was a chuckle before the Troupe master spoke, "I can imagine his about to give the Dark Eldar leader a very bad time."
Torture of Isha
In truth, the Doomslayer was still waiting impatiently for the grav lift to reach it's destination as he tapped his foot to the side. After a minute or so it finally reached it's location before opening up, revealing a few guards who immediately raised their splinter rifles.
Doom chuckled again, "Nothing like a little stress relief after a long elevator ride." He thought before rushing forward, his now signature bolt pistol materialized within his hands as he shot and Dark Eldar in the shoulder as it was blasted off, the Dark Eldar yelled in pain before Doom punched the warrior right in the face. Throwing his headless body backwards. The rest attempted to back away before Doom turned around, plasma gun in hand as he rapidly fired it into the the retreating guards, mowing them down without mercy as pieces of their bodies were picked apart by the deadly blue projectiles.
After finishing the Guards off, he turned towards the huge set of black metal doors before drawing back his foot and kicking it. The doors burst open, revealing a dark and crude throne room.
Doom looked around before the chair staring out to space turned around, revealing a Elegant black armored Dark Eldar along with a woman who was chained up by the neck. Doom scoffed, "Guy probably enjoys the smell of his own piss." he thought.
"So... This is the Mon-keigh that has supposedly wrought me down." The Trueborn said as he stood up, two figures came from the shadows behind him. One of them revealing to be a large snake like alien with two pairs of arms that held a variety of weaponry. The other was an imposing Dark Eldar warrior carrying a Klaive as it glowed with green runes.
Doom sighed looking at the ground before looking back up. "Alright here's the deal, You don't fight back. And I'll try to not do what I did to that pretty boy doctor down in the torture deck." Doom said.
The Trueborn chuckled evilly, "That Haemonculi was a fool, KILL HIM MY RETAINERS!" The Trueborn said before reclining back in his seat.
Within a second the Snake man immediately slithered forward gun's blazing with two splinter pistols in one pair, and two deadly looking blades in the other. The Incubi followed closely behind it, yet was more cautious than his comrade.
The Splinter fire just bounced off Doom's armor before he hung his head down. "Damn shame." before taking out his own gun. He fired the shotgun directly at the Sslyth as the creature grunted in discomfort as it's armor miraculously absorbed the shot. "Huh, guess you can-"
The creature's arms acted up as it attempted to slice the Doomslayer into pieces. He deftly avoided it, not wanting to scratch his armor before he felt something smack him in the side. The Incubi attempted to slice Doom by the mid section by swinging the Klaive at his hip, it however only made the Marine stumble to the ground. "Damn, the other Warrior is too damn smart." as he deftly avoided getting chopped from above as the Incubi brought his blade, cleaving the ground where Doom's body was just at.
Doom knew that the Incubus was using the Sslyth as a means to distract Doom before chopping in, He needed to finish this fight quickly. However a coil quickly wrapped around his leg before Doom found himself pulled backwards into the face of the smiling serpent.
Immediately it's coils began to tighten around him, constricting his arms and body as it squeezed tighter and tighter.
"There is no use struggling Mon-Keigh. Once a Sslyth has tightened his coils, his prey is surely to die." The Trueborn said as the Sslyth's arms slowly brought it's blades forward.
It was then the pupil's of Doom's eyes dilated, his muscles tensed, and his teeth gritted.
"Okay, now I'm fucking pissed."
Immediately the coils around Doom began to open up as the Marine slowly pushed his arms outward, the Sslyth's reptilian pupil's widened in surprise before attempting to Slash at the Marine as he was immobile, but to no avail as the Doomslayer caught the scaly hand before seemingly without effort, tore it off in anger.
The Lizard screeched out in agony as Green blood spurted from the wound. Doom immediately shot his other hand forward before grabbing it by the lower jaw, the Lizard attempted to pull away from the threat but Doom bought it's head in close, grabbing the upper jaw with his other hand, slowly beginning to pull his arms outwards as the Lizard struggled with a giant amount of effort, it's limbs and coils flailed around the place but to no avail.
The Jaw of the creature slowly began to give way before Doom grunted, pulling apart the lizards jaw as it attempted to screech with what was left of it's mouth before Doom tore off it's head. Green blood splattered on his armor as the rest of the Sslyth's coils around him loosened, dropping the Doomslayer to the floor.
The Incubi quickly got over his shock before attempting to strike down Doom with his klaive, only for the Marine to grab the power blade before growling to the Incubi's face. His right hand backhanded the Incubi, the Dark Eldar's helmet was torn right off his face from the sheer force.
The Eldar sputtered out red blood before Doom pushed him back, walking up to him with shotgun in hand, and pressing the barrel against the Dark Eldars glaring face.
"Eh, At least you faced it like a man." Doom said before pulling the trigger, the Incubi's head was now gone in a spurt of flesh as his body slumped over. "Now where was I?" The marine said before turning back to the chair, only that the Trueborn wasn't there, the Slave girl was clearly taken as well.
"SON OF A-!"
Immediately Doom rushed forward, knocking the spikey throne out of the way before peering down a secret escape hatch. Without further ado, the Marine followed in, passing what appeared to be the scumbags bedroom as it was adorned with various battle trophies and weaponry.
Doom paid it no heed as he bashed through the metal door, just as Magadh holding the struggling slave as a form of a bullet shield was activating a webway portal.
Magadh turned to see the Doomslayer, "Ugh, I cannot believe your insolence. You destroyed my entire operation, and you still have the gall to go after me." The Dark Eldar was just about to retreat through the portal until the Slave broke out of his grasp with force as her face seethed with anger. The Dark Eldar's face twisted in surprise before she threw a punch directly into his face, years of training under the Adepta's Sororitas came into effect as the Dark Eldar stumbled from the force of the punch.
This allowed Doom all the time to open fire at the control panel which kept the Webway open, effectively shutting it off.
"NO!" The Trueborn yelled, as he reached a hand out to what was his salvation.
He didn't see Doom coming as he rushed past the Woman before drawing back a foot. Magadh's eyes widened.
Doom kicked his right foot directly into the Trueborn's groin.
The Dark Eldar was silent before wordlessly falling to the ground, his upper body pressed against it as he attempted to breathe. Doom chuckled, "Aren't you supposed to be happy? I thought you guys were into pain!" Before laughing hysterically.
The Slave came back a second later, with a bolter from the other room. She gestured Doom to move as she bought the bolter to bare upon Magadh as he raised a hand in an attempt to bargain for his life.
"Emperor take you. Xenos scum." The Sister of battle said before pulling the trigger, immediately the bolter fired, bits and pieces of the trueborn were flung all over the place, she kept at it until he was surely dead. She lowered the gun before breathing heavily.
Doom whistled, "Damn, couldn't have done it better myself. I was going through the whole ship for that asshole." the Sister looked at him in confusion before her face lightened up.
"I-I must thank you Sir,?" Joan said as she gestured to know his name.
"Doom, just call me Doom." The marine said as he attempted to not stare at her cleavage.
She smiled in relief, "Then you may call me Joan. " she said as she rubbed the red mark around her neck. "Though I must ask, who sent you?"
Doom took off his helmet before scratching the back of his head, "Hm? Nobody really, just a bunch of these assholes decided attacking the ship I was on was a good idea." the Marine said before coughing. "Now uh, I think I spotted this suit back there-" Joan's eyes widened.
"My power armor, Thank the Emperor!" before she rushed past Doom and into the Dark Eldars room. The sound of crashing was heard, Doom followed in after her.
"Power armor? So are you like a-..." Doom tried to remember the word that Kaldor told him about, "-A Space marine?" Joan turned around, now wearing a black jumpsuit as she tossed away the revealing bra and loin cloth that her other hand held.
"Of course not, I am a Adeptus Sororitas. A female servant of his divine grace."
"So your basically a Space Nun."
"A what?" Joan asked as she slid on her shoulder plate.
"A sp- Actually never mind. How did you end up here?" Doom asked. Joan immediately stopped before hanging her head low, "Tch, touchy subject? Okay I'll drop it, that asshole won't be bothering you anymore." Doom said.
"No, no... It's fine. My company was caught by a wretched Xeno ambush. My sisters and I were forcefully captured, I-I'm not sure what happened to the rest of them." She replied unsurely before strapping on a boot. "Regardless, It is a miracle that the Xeno scum didn't... Claim me, I can still fight for my order." Joan said as she put on the breastplate. "Although, I have a few questions. How in the emperors name were you able to take them on? Your not even an Astartes as far as I am concerned." She asked in a curious tone.
"It's a long story." was all Doom said.
The sister of battle merely shrugged, "Very well. I look forward to hearing this story." before sliding on a gauntlet before asking her next question, "How did your armor absorb those Dark Eldar rifles like nothing? Their is no armor like yours known to the Imperium of man." Joan said as she looked at him in the eyes.
"Um, well... It's self made." Doom said, lying about the armor's true origin.
"If so then you should approach a tech priest with it, finely engineered armor like that can save millions of lives." The woman said before taking a Sabbat pattern helmet off the shelf. The two red visors of the mask gave the woman an intimidating look with her full armor set on. "Shall we proceed?" before picking up her weapon. Doom put on his own helmet before walking alongside her.
"Yeah, but me and the other's should have cleared out the rest of the ship. So you don't need to worry about getting attacked." Doom said as they came out of the trapdoor, the carnage of the room was apparent as they passed the corpses of both the Sslyth and Incubis before walking on the grav lift. It took a second before the Elevator trudged down.
"Huh, then I look forward to meeting them. I need to return to the temple and report to the inquisition. They will want to hear about this." The grav lift finally reached the weapons deck control room.
Arlecchino turned around from the council, "Ah, Doom. My men just evacuated the-" the Jester immediately paused. Doom raised an eye before he looked to Joan, who held her bolter up at him.
The Marine instantly reacted, slapping the gun barrel down just as Joan pulled the trigger, shooting the floor below as the metal caved in from the explosive shot. Joan's helmeted head turned to Doom, he could already tell her face was full of disgust without even needing to see it.
"What in the Emperors name do you think your doing!?" Joan asked as she attempted to repoint her gun upwards.
"What am I doing!? What the fuck are you doing?!" Doom said.
Joan attempted to wrestle her bolter's grip from his hands, "Trying to enact the emperor's will, now take your hand off my gun and-"
"No." Doom simply said to which Joan seethed in rage.
"Then I cannot believe it, to even think you were under his divine grace. Your nothing but a Heretic!" Joan said as she spat.
Doom up until this point, never felt anymore pissed than what she just called him. Within a second, his metal hands shot up, grabbing her neck before lifting her up with ease. Joan gasped behind her helmet before she began struggling, her power armor scraping against the metal of the lift as she dropped her bolter.
"Do not... Call me... A Heretic." Doom said through gritted teeth. "I have protected Humanity from the horrors of hell since the beginning of time. I am the nightmare of Demons, blessed by the Seraphim himself, and killer of the so called Prince of Perfection." He began to apply pressure, cutting off her circulation. "You however, clearly know nothing about me or the word you just used to describe me."
She stopped moving before their was a lengthy pause before Arlecchino spoke, "Is she-?"
"No she's not, just unconscious. Let's get back to the ship." Doom said in a dark tone as he hoisted her form over her shoulder, picking up her bolter with his other hand. Arlecchino actually felt a tiny bit fearful, never had he seen such a serious side to the Doomslayer.
"Right this way Doomslayer." the Troupe master said before walking out the metal door.
The other Harlequins watched the blood covered Doomslayer follow along before disappearing around the corner, unsure what to think of it.
