(General POV)
Location Warhammer Old World-Kislev, Northern Oblast: Edge of the Corrupted Tzeentchian Lands of the Dark Legion, Battlefield; Dark Legion vs. Kislev
Still in the middle of the battle between Kislev and the Dark Legion, all while Tzeentch/Ixion against Boris and Katarina, were still engaged in vicious duel when Ixion knocked Katarina onto the ground with a sets of brutal attacks to her body, but before he can finish her, Boris stepped in to protect her from the Chosen of the Gods, sending his damned bear, Urskin, to attack Tzeentch/Ixion.
After getting rid of the bear, and then sharing a short but painful death lock between the three of them, they were once again clashing weapons with between these fighters, all the while the resurrection of Boris Ursus has greatly affected the tides of battle.
But this was very enjoyable for the Lord of All Change, such an unexpected twist was exciting and already he has countless plots coursing through his minds, on how to change things again.
Blocking Boris downward slash with his harbert, and his own sword slash was blocked by his daughter's blade, these two have such synergy that his previous opponents Ostankya and Ulrika greatly lacked, which made things much more amusing for the Changer of Ways.
Pointing his blue fire tipped, tzeentchian scepter at Katarina's face, as the azure flames roared and formed into a daemonicly grinning silhouette, showing clear malice and murderous intent of the Changer, he channeled his magical power through the scepter to attack the Ice Queen.
But seeing the danger, that his daughter was in and he used the bud of the end of his spear, to hit Ixion on the side, the blow strong enough to shift Ixion's aim and the blue firebolt barely missed hitting Katarina.
So instead Tzeentch/Ixion followed up his attack with a swing of his scepter, hitting Katarina's side again.
This allowed the Changer to parry her blade, and return his focus on Boris for a moment, pushing back the old tzar, the two started to clash again.
Mainly using their respected pole weapon, and fighting one another in some mid-range combat, slashing, thrusting, blocking and partying the other spear/harbert strike, as Boris performed a rising quick slash, breaking through Ixion's guard and then he stabbed the azure armored Chaos Lord in the shoulder, then he pulled out the blade and smash the end of pole on the side of Ixion's helm.
Ixion stumble off the side from the blow, and Boris hit the belly of the Chosen of the Gods, with a reverse crossing slash.
Only causing a little amount of damage, he started being struck with multiple slashes and strikes from Boris' [Shard Blade], Tzeentch annoyance flowing out Ixion in the form of growling, and channeling his psychic power to keep Boris still, frozen in place.
Struggling to fight against whatever magic that was holding him down, Ixion/Tzeentch was getting up from the barrage of blows that Boris, he just unleashed upon his opponent.
Tzeentch made Ixion hit Boris with his scepter, delivering a brutal blow to the head.
Then following that heavy blow, with another, then another after another, knocking off Boris' headgear, but before he could deliver another brutal blow, Katarina attacked him with her magic.
She saw that her father's in danger, she blasted frost magic at the back of Arcane Monarch, as the back of the azure armor was covered in frost and crystals, with one movement Tzeentch/Ixion shuke off all that ice that coated his form.
Ixion/Tzeentch swung his [Balewing] in a powerful overhead, downward, heavy slash at Katarina, who stepped back and barely dodge that harbert cleave.
Then Ixion/Tzeentch swung down his [Hellbane], barely causing a scratch on her dress, but the Changer didn't relent on his assault, attacking with several greatsword and harbert swings upon the Tzarina.
She desperately was blocking and evading all the slashes thrown at her, but then Boris returned to the fight, Tzeentch, he made Ixion block Boris' incoming attack with the scepter, stuck between two oppenents, both daughter and father started to be the aggressor of this duel.
They struck with fury, everytime that Tzeentch/Ixion parried and tried to follow-up his assault onto one of these Kislevite royalty.
As the Warp Gods observe the ongoing fight, meanwhile as Khorne watched with a very attentive thought, then he gave a suggestion to his younger brother on handling the situation, that he is caught in.
Listening to the War God's advice, the Changer smirked mentally as he prepared to execute his next move against his opponents.
As Ixion blocked another attack from Boris, leaving himself exposed to the Tzarina, Katarina rushed in to take advantage, swinging at the open back of her enemy, which was all apart of Tzeentch's trap.
Once she got into range, Tzeentch/Ixion, he position his harbert's in a spot that thrusting out the bottom end of the pole, he stabbed and struck the Ice Queen into the stomach, with such force that it blasted her away, crashing hard against the snow.
Leaving Tzeentch/Ixion to fight against Boris Ursus, one on one, for a while as Katarina recovered from his last attack.
Again they attack each other without any mercy, Boris, he manage to find a opening and try to stab Ixion in the face, but to Boris's shock after managing to connect his supposed mortal blow, he was still cut in the right thigh area, causing his right leg to buckle and was meet with a blow to the chin.
Obviously Tzeentch permitted that stab to pass through a obvious trap...for him...thus allowing the Changer to strike at Boris' weak spot of the Red Tzar, then followed it up by hitting Boris' chin with a upper-strike with his scepter, now at his mercy he channeled his psyker power to unleash a current of [Warp Lightning], electricuting both Boris' body and spirit at the same time.
Boris, fought back the scream, that desperately trying to escape his lips, then as he was at the mercy of the Architect's eldritch power, stretching out the upper-arm that held his scepter, and with a powerful swing across the face.
The sensation of a cracking skull, as the hit, knocked out Boris and then Tzeentch using some psychic force to shield himself from a stream of sharpen icicles, sent at him, all those magical ice projectiles, were crushed against a invisible force that covered Ixion.
Tzeentch speaking through Ixion in a multiple toned and sounding voices in unison, said, "After many times...did you expect me, to fall for the same trick again? Answer me...Katarina." turning his sights on the bloodied dressed Ice Queen, with her arm extended at him.
Again she'd tried to attack him from behind, only for her enemy to predict her move, as Katarina stood back up her feet and ready her blade, now it was time for her to protect her father from the damned Chosen of the Gods.
Tzeentch spoke through the Warp Gods' avatar, "My, my what a brave, foolish child. Do you truly believe that you can still stand against fate himself? Hehahahe. You're delusional young witch." Katarina, was a bit perturbed with the last comment of Ixion.
But she was still standing, and willing to fight against this Chaos Lord favored by the Architect of Fate, she channels the Winds of Magic to harness the power of the Lore of Ice, in order to cast a powerful spell called [Death Frost], that causes souls to shiver and shake in a freezing grasp of ice magic, until the piercing cold reaches their hearts and, finally, they pass in a frozen death, hence the name.
Her eyes were bursting with magical power, and the cold Kislev winds steered in force, as a icy blue and white burst of magical frost energy, emerged from her body, as she once again aimed her outstretched arm at Ixion, and fired a powerful blast of ice magic at the Arcane Monarch.
Tzeentch countered this spell by using his own magic, channeling the power of the Lore of Fire, in order to cast the spell the [Burning Head] shooting a skull silhouetted, giant fireball, causing both magical elements to clash and explode in a burst of hot steam.
The intense heat forced Katarina to shield herself from it, while Tzeentch didn't make Ixion make a move in order to prelong the fight, and enjoy himself.
Katarina used the steam cover, to cast [Frost Blade] onto her [Fearfrost] to enhance it magical power, and ice enchantments on her blade, as the steam was ceasing and she stood ready, then she heard snow crunching, getting closer to her.
Coming out the cloud of steam, was Ixion/Tzeentch standing unaffected by the heat of steam, and showing some scratches from the battle, Katarina, she rised her [Fearfrost] and aimed it at Ixion, as a clear sign of challenge to Ixion.
The Changer found it amusing and he tightened the avatar's grip on all three of his weapons, and making Ixion stomp forward and attack Katarina with his harbert, as Katarina blocked the attack and cause a bit frost to cover her enemy's weapon, and she turn her body to avoid another attack from her enemy.
As she spun, Katarina swipe her ice blade in a reverse horizontal slash, cutting slightly the chestplate of Ixion and covering the scratch in frost.
But suddenly she felt something grab onto her, as Tzeentch/Ixion pulled her dress-sleeve and smash his pauldron against the majority of the upper part of her body and face, he had to thanked his brother the Blood God later for telling him about this move, and speaking of Khorne, he was laughing with joy at the sight of perfectly brutal, executed shoulder strike.
Katarina, felt her head rang and pain surge through her body, while Katarina's body shuke and threatened to drop, only for her suddenly was wisp off her feet, lifted by Ixion.
Ixion/Tzeentch began to channel his dark powers through the body of Katarina, making her scream as she felt herself being drain of her strength and energy!!
Slowly her strength, knowledge, experience, and magic was being strippen from Katarina's body and soul but she still has strength to fight back.
Feeling more balance, she stabbed her [Fearfrost] onto the arm that was holding onto her, the magic of her blade surging fort the avatar's arm, Tzeentch noticed that, that arm was starting to freeze and not wanting to risk serious damage to Ixion, he reluctantly let Katarina go by tossing her away.
Watching as Katarina bounce off the snow, and she struggled fighting against the pain that surged through her body, taking the opportunity to recover some of the damage that Katarina's sword caused to his avatar state, by channeling the Lore of Fire through the slightly frozen arm of Ixion, that arm ignited and burn, melting away the frost and ice that used to cover it.
Katarina rolled over, trying to use her shaking arms to push herself back to her feet, as she turn to watch her hated enemy's upper-right arm on fire, undoing all the magical damage that she'd managed to do.
He turned his head at her, and spoke to Katarina, "Still struggling? Good. Amuse me more, girl." Katarina, she grinded her teeth in frustration, as she forced herself back onto her feet and was clearly still capable of fighting.
As Tzeentch cut off casting his fire magic through the avatar, and aiming his [Corrupted Ursunite Scepter] at Katarina, he channeled the Winds of Magic to harness the Lore of Astros, violet, mauve, purple, and pink, magical electricity surge through his armor and scepter, from the skies came of multi-tone purple thunderbolt crashed down onto her, this is his [Star] spell.
Hit by this foreign magic, compose of star magic, caused great amount of damage and pain through her body, as the beam column came down upon her.
She was blasted with this magic, unable to do anything against it, as the beam column still consumed her, Laharl was impressed ever since his brother claimed divine dominion over Star Elemental Magic, from the Makai-verse, he has proven eager to use it whenever he can...then he shuttered when he thought of Tzeentch unleashed Omega or Terra Star onto the world or his followers, sighing as he knew he'll have to make a counter for that level of magical destruction now in Tzeentch's grasp, but aside from that Tzeentch kept the spell ongoing.
Until he sensed that most of the Tzarina consciousness has faded from her body, as her sword handle was let go, and dropped to the ground.
Noticing this Tzeentch cost off his star magic, and the ceased the spell off completely and letting Katarina, fall onto the ground in agony, barely conscious and totally defenseless, he made Ixion walk over to his defeated target...debating in either killing her or draining her from what still remains of her magic and experience.
Tzeentch was standing over the downed Katarina, at the end Tzeentch decided to end the fight now, so it was finally time to deal the final blow to the Ice Queen, aiming his [Balewing Halbert] directly at the down woman.
As he pulled back his harbert, Boris that finally shuke off the ringing on his head, having been the victim of a vicious blow in the head, from the Arcane Monarch's scepter, he saw that the vile, Chosen of the Gods, was about to kill his dear daughter!!!
He lost a son to this man, Ixion Daemonhart, will not take another child from him again!!!
Pushing his wound and battered body to stand and move, adrenaline and will fueling his weak, tired legs, as he ran straight to his daughter.
As Ixion/Tzeentch thrust his harbert to stab Katarina, when his [Balewing] thrusted forward only for instead impaling the body of the renowned Ice Queen, it was the body of Boris, impaled onto the blade of the [Balewing] and blood splashed over his polearm, and the face of Katarina, which alarted the Ice Queen.
Her bloodstained face, was showing shock and tears were threatening to fall from her eyes, as she screamed in utter pain and anguish.
For the Red Tzar, Boris Ursus, has fallen again, dying by the hand of the most vile, Chaos Lord to invade Kislev, a great blow has been dealt to the forces of the Motherland...
FLASHBACK...
(Malakai Makaisson POV)
Location Kislev, at the Edge of the Battlefield
Just a bit more and me and the lads will be fighting a grand battle, already a lot chaos was in our sight, I've even saw a horrible frill horned-skulled monster with massive castle strapped to its back, rampaging across that place.
When it saw me ship, it roared and swung around it massive claws, before it started lobbing blazing boulders at me ship, along with burning skulls, and other Chaos nuisance.
Had to take some invasive actions to avoid the Spirit of Grungni, and us going down in a shameful manner that would not appease the Ancestors, I'd had no choice but to tell the lads to get ready for a bumpy landing, as we are going to fight this fight no matter what!!!
After finding a good spot to land, away from that creature's attacks many of me crew started to disembark and get ready to get in deep in the fighting, loading me gun, I turned to one of the engineers that always on the ship, and told him, "Lad!! You in charge of the ship, fly it around and lay waste to these bastards, ye hear!?" nodding to me, he ran to the steering wheel and I disembark to...
PRESENT...
(General POV)
Location Kislev Battlefield: Nearby woods
Daemons and warriors of Chaos were in the middle of fighting against the Kislevites forces, when suddenly the sound of several gun shoots were heard, followed by several daemons banishing away.
Some mortifinis and bloodletters turned toward the nearby woods, as a new enemy emerged from the shadows, several red-haired mohawked, dwarves with a huge runic battle-axe leaped out the cover of the forest and struck down these lesser daemons of Carnage and Blood.
The Kislevites recognized these dwarves as the infamous slayers, (daemonslayers) then more slayers came rushing out the woods, some wielding twin axes or axes chained to their wrists (dragon, giantslayers & doomseekers) and these dwarves immediately went to fight the forces of the Dark Legion.
More dwarves began to join the battle from pirate slayers using various runic weapons, along with a fliplock pistol, shooting and cutting down the enemies, then came a helmed dwarf thane leading some warriors, and regular slayers into the battle.
Then came the rifle armed Thunderers, lead by the legendary Slayer Engineer, Malakai Makaisson, with his goggles over his eyes and his repeater gun aka a fantasy shotgun, with a excited smile on his face, as he took aim and fired at a couple of Chaos Knights, lastly some couple of Gyrocopters came flying into the battle, shooting down at the force of Chaos.
With this the Masters of Innovation have joined the battle, and already the dwarves still operating/piloting the Spirit of Grungni, started firing their powerful cannons down upon the Dark Legion.
Malakai and his crew arrival once again gained morale and advantage for the Kislevite troops, as the dwarves joined forces with the humans, and fought with untold fury against the forces of Chaos.
Malakai, shot down any daemon or Chaos follower that tried to face him, blasting a couple of plaguebearers, decarabias, hell lusts, and flesh hounds that rushed towards him and his crew.
He laughed as his gyrocopters flew ahead, and rain hell upon the servents of Chaos, then he saw him, the infamous Chosen of the Gods, accompanied by the other renowned Chaos Champions, Harald Hammerstorm, Kholek Suneater, and Yuri Godslayer, all that the Slayer Engineer could think about was the good challenge that was standing before him, as the war became more intense than before...
