I unironically like Anders as a character.
The Butcher

He gasps, staggering a few steps around in the arena and swiping his sword at the air before realizing he's relatively safe. "That was...that was bad," he comments aloud, glancing to his nurglings, a few nodding vigorously and at least two hugging each other. "I wonder if Father knows that Tzeentch is playing at something? But I suppose Tzeentch is always playing at something. Either way, I think this tournament is pretty much over at this point."

Going back to the suite is probably a very, very poor idea at the moment, so the Butcher puts his sword away and lifts up into the air, buzzing around in search of the med-bay as he chats away to the nurglings. May as well give the bad news to their hurt teammate.

#mutants #daemonicpossession
Bart looks curiously at Veneficus as he bows, his head cocking in a way most unnatural. When he speaks, his voice has a timbre to it unsuited to that of the soothseer. "Ah, a child of Magnus the Red. A pity.. we had seen how you push at the gossamer fabric that seperates the warp from reality and hoped it would be you that would let us spill over into reality. The psyker claws at the prison of his mind and peers out through eyes that are not his, and he does not accept this fate."

The daemon languidly turns, watching as Kayleen opens fire on the mutants. Dregas is riddled with gauss fire and staggers back, howling in pain and confusion. He looks up to Bart and stops howling immediately, recognizing the daemonhost for what he truly is. The mutants drop their weapons and fall to their knees, prostrating themselves before the Lord of Change, save for Guiguin, who continues to hold his brother.

With a slight exhalation, Bart is back on the ground, and he moves with unnatural speed over to the mutants. He lifts them all to their feet, one by one, and smiles at them. "Go unto the tournament and be my disciples. Let them know a true Tzeentchian has come to win favor for the God of Change. Tell them to cower, and to tremble, and prepare for their undoing." Without another word, the daemon waves his hand and the mutants are gone

He turns to the others, giving them a cursory glance. "The human psyker would have me spare you, and to keep this shell content until it is burned out, I shall humor him. But next we meet, I will show the true power of Tzeentch to you unbelievers, and an inquisition shall be held to test the faithful and find those who are lacking." He smiles a smile too wide for his head, revealing rows and rows of shimmering teeth. "Farewell."

Without even a puff of smoke, Bart is gone.

Escape from Medbay
In spite of the combined efforts of the khornate and the commissar, the hideous doctor slams his meaty hand against the alarm switch, and even has a moment to grin before the twin blades skewer his hide. He laughs a burbling laugh, viscous black blood flowing from his mouth even as his body shudders and fails. "The cameras.. are rolling, boys.. it will be a slaughter, but not.. like you want.." With a terrible tremor, the doctor vomits up a torrent of clotting blood and slumps, his bionics whining as they die. Klaxons wail in the distance, and red lights pulse through the hall and room. Westin sneers, planting his foot against the dead doctor and drawing his blade from the scarred, pox marked flesh.

"It sounds like we're going to have a fight on our hands. In spite of everything, it would be a pleasure to continue fighting at your side, traitor." He grins at this last word and flicks blood from his blade, trying to keep the sword from causing it to smoke and boil away. "Augh, this rear end in a top hat smells horrible. Come on; we've got a facility to escape."

Outside, the Butcher finds the building simply from the sound of the klaxons. He watches as a long stream of guards and security officers scramble towards the building, and looks over to the viewscreen which is showing the final half of Drevan and Westin's fight against the doctor. There is no sign that the broadcast is delayed, but Butcher notices the klaxons aren't lit in the vidscreen.

"Well then, now that this is done..." Hugh is once again audible, obviously having turned his suits speakers back on. "I could really use another cup of caf... oh dear. The pot. It's broken." Gauntleted hands remove his helmet, and the older man looks sadly at the wreckage of the caf pot on the floor. "Is this some ritual I have somehow remained unaware of? The breaking of the caf pot? Symbolism for humanity being asleep to the powers of the gods?"

"Its more like putting a bunch of ultraviolence aficionados in the same location as ceramics is a recipe for broken pottery."

Drevan

The doctor's blood on Drevan's blade burns as the runes glow. When the commissar finishes speaking he turns to him. "Hah! It's not like either of us have a choice right? Let's get the gently caress out of here." Drevan pauses and reflects at the situation yet again. He stops running and calls for Westin "Look, I don't know what happens between us after this. But I'm going back to my warband and our big plan right now is killing the Slaneeshi governor that set this whole tournament up, even if we have to play along for awhile. You'll have the biggest chance of getting revenge for your regiment if you stick with us. What you say?"

Regardless of his answer I'm going to storm out of here, hopefully finding Butcher in the way, if IPVG comes to help me.

The Butcher

"Take cover, boys," the Butcher instructs the nurglings, who burrow back through the cracks in his armor. The marine picks out any available window in the medical building, and proceeds to dive in and smash through, tumbling across the floor and anything else that may be in the way. "DREVAN?" he shouts, his voice squawking out of his helmet speaker as he draws his sword and briefly channels, before dashing off to try to find the renegade needle in a haystack, so to speak.

Waiting for the games to continue, Veneficus scours the room for an intact pot of recaf. He regrets that the rumpus with the mutants and the Lord of Change had damaged most of them rather badly. Unable to find any, he mutters under his breath, cursing the human psyker who couldn't not get possessed for five minutes and had taken all the recaf with him when the Lord of Change took his body.

Newcomers

There is a tingle in the air as the residual energy from the daemonic presence begins to fade away, but Veneficus feels a serious disturbance from around the Noise Marine. Something is taking advantage of the weakness in reality within the room, and Hassan begins to shudder violently, unable to speak or move as he merely gurgles, blood flowing down his chin from his mouth and nose. He doubles over, quaking, when suddenly the back plate of his armor buckles outwards. The marine stumbles from the blow, looking up in agony and confusion, before another blow wracks the front plate of his armor, denting it outwards. He goes rigid, his mouth hanging open in a scream, as a daemonic appendage punches clean out through his armor. Raw warp roils forth from the wound in Hassan's chest, and the hand (which Veneficus recognizes as one similar to his own flamer arm) wrenches the power armor's plating aside.

Within a moment, there is a faint pop and a low shockwave that shoves the furniture in the room back a foot. Emerging from the now dead marine is a long-haired man in a blue robe, wielding a staff headed with the emblem of chaos. A ripple of chaotic energy flows down his body, smoothing his hair and clothing out and removing the gore from his miraculous entrance.

At the same time, the door opens and another guy who looks like a girl that has been hit by a make up truck sashays into the room, announcing himself as a replacement for the traitorous marine from before. He pauses, catching the death of the noise marine and the aetheric birth of the psyker. He hesitates, before dramatically swooshing his cape back and forth and billowing it out behind him; there is a pop of smoke as he throws a pyrotechnics canister to the ground, which fails to go off properly. After a moment, his cloak drapes back down to the ground. He clasps the hem of the cape in his hand and pulls it up to shield his face, announcing himself once more in what he obviously believes to be a sinister sounding voice. He stalks forward into the room, drooping down low on each step.

Joe T. Psyker

The psyker sighs, mumbling about unreliable warp currents, voice oddly high pitched for a man. Joe glares at the overdramatic girlyman while pulling out a fresh pot of recaf that had been shielded from the sound marine's guts.

Hospital Hijinks

Westin hesitates, thinking. He growls as the klaxons keeps blaring and shoots one of them out with his plasma pistol, dulling the noise slightly. "Man can't even think with those things going. Fine. You haven't proven to be a complete fiend, and you're competent with a blade, and this will ultimately strike a blow to the ruinous power so yeah. I'm in." He shakes Drevan's hand with a smirk. Behind them, doors leading from outside the facility burst open and six men in carapace armor, wielding hell guns, move into formation in the door with half the men kneeling and the other half standing with a break in the middle, aiming at the commissar and berserker. A seventh man turns his torso as he passes between the guards, his boots clicking on the tile; he wears a carapace breastplate and slacks, with the framework of a powered exo-skeleton over his arms and legs. He raises a bullhorn to his mouth.

"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND DROP YOUR WEAPONS! IF YOU COMPLY WE WILL ESCORT YOU TO YOUR CELLS AND NO HARM SHALL COME TO YOU!" The hellguns whine as they start to power on, and Westin throws Drevan a glance and a grin. "We feint and take them out when they get close, or we just charge in to the jaws of hell and pray we come out the other side." He tightens his grip on his sword. "Your play, soldier."

Elsewhere, Butcher's impact has sent a spray of brick and mortar into the room beyond, and when he lands and rights himself, he sees the carnage has wrought; several guards lay dead from the impact, while others merely reel in shock. Drawing his sword, he quickly ends the guards who still fight against him, and one is able to evade him long enough to open fire with his hellgun, but the lasers are not enough to penetrate the marine's ceramite armor, and are dissipated harmlessly. The Butcher hefts the man with his free arm and smashes him into a nearby support, ending his life with a sickening crunch, before bellowing for his comrade. He begins checking doors, finding rooms full of experimentations gone awry and wounded men who are being rejuvenated with dark science.

After a half a dozen doors, the Butcher finds a door that has been actually sealed, and steps back to study it. The symbol of Nurgle is burned into the steel on the door, and it appears to have been hermetically sealed; all the more reason for the plague marine to simply boot the door down, causing a thick cloud of green miasma to roil forth from the room. Fanning the mist away, the Butcher steps into a containment room holding the largest mortal being he has ever seen, which futilely clutches a sword and shield in his t-rex arms; the being is clad in what is obviously ancient human terminator armor, and bears no mark of legion.

In brief, the man in the room is fat and armed and is obviously a devotee of Nurgle.

Malcolm Mandari


As the door opens, Malcolm prepares himself for battle. This governor has had him imprisoned for so long, and while Grandfather has blessed Malcolm with eternal patience, even his has worn thin. He clenches his fists for a fight, when the sight of a plague marine fills his vision.

Malcolm is a large creature, for to call him human anymore would be to denigrate what Nurgle has done to him. He is a bloated and filthy mess. Bits of terminator armor can be seen here and there, but most is covered in folds of flesh, and if skin erupted from all of the joints. In one hand is a power sword, the other a rusty shield that seems to be always dripping puss from somewhere.

He speaks, his voice forcing itself through endless layers of slime and Grandfather's love, "Look, rescue from a fellow follower of Nurgle! Is He not magnanimous? You look lost little marine, and in a hurry; are you the cause of these alarm klaxons brother?"

He stares at the monstrosity, the nurglings popping their heads out of his armor to gawk, one making a quiet "ooooo!", before they duck back in to chatter amongst themselves.

"Finally! Some better company! Do you know this planet is apparently lousy with psykers following Tzeentch?" He's grinning widely beneath his helmet, but his tone of good cheer easily carries through the speakers. "I was with a group in this tournament, and one of ours was stabbed up by some commissar and put in the hospital here, and..." He waves a hand up at one of the klaxons. "Anyway, he's in the poo poo now, and I need to get him. You should come with me! I'm sure you'll fit in just fine. I'm the Butcher."

It'll probably be the first time Malcolm has fit anywhere in a long time.

Others always looked at him and saw his job as a Grave Tender, or his flesh now so beautifully stretched by Nurgle."If the rest of your group is like you, I am sure I will fit in just fine." The wall of flesh begins to walk forward, waddling from side to side as it does so, a high-pitched whine from the terminator armor's servo assists can be heard.

"Westin, first thing about followers of Khorne: When faced with any kind of opposition, you do this." Drevan uses his free hand to pull out a brass icon that immediately starts glowing red and leaks blood everywhere. He starts charging viciously forward at the men with carapace armor.

He charges forward with his blade held aloft, and the fury in his eyes unnerves two of the guards, who falter and start to fall from formation. The guard captain snorts and lowers his hand, giving the signal to fire. Westin, unable to react in time to stop Drevan, throws himself to the floor and covers his head, knowing full well what is about to happen.

The hallway fills with searing red lances of energy, with Drevan running head long into the source of them. Elation fills him as the bolts glance harmlessly off of his reactor field, knowing the fight ahead will be glorious, and even continues unheeded as the first few bolts bypass the cycling of his energy field. However, one bolt strikes with such energy that the refractor field fizzles away, but Drevan shows no sign of noticing this.

However, his charge is staggered as the lasbolts begin to strike flesh, and he is thrown back a step as one bolt in particular strikes him right in the sternum, cutting his scream short. He shakes his head, feeling other bolts graze his limbs and sear small wounds on his body, and once again the Khornate starts to lumber forward. The lasers continue to strike him, and finally his rage dissipates, letting the pain sink in, although it is far too late; the unholy resistance he felt fades as the guards fine tune their aim, and a single bolt rips through the side of his neck, severing his jugular. He gurgles as he starts to fall backwards, his hands moving to his throat as he feels the blood pulse out with his frenzied heartbeat. His vision fades to black even as further blasts strike his flesh, sending rippling waves of heat that scar his skin or burn straight through to cook the flesh within, and he does not register a door opening to his left.

Drevan falls, and Westin raises his head cautiously as the fire stops. He sees his former foe laying still in a pool of his own blood and looks up to see the guards moving down the hall in a covering formation, their guns trained on the berserker. When they reach him and find him still, the one on point turns and gestures for another guard to bind him, and they advance on the commissar.


Drevan dies. Again. Livin' up to that 27 int Khornate, ain't ya?

Well, fuck. Really?
Super Nurgle Brothers
Butcher and the waddling Malcolm continue to test doors and discuss the people the Butcher has found himself working with, unable to hear the sounds of gunfire over the roaring of the klaxons. The Butcher continues to open doors, speaking of recaf and daemonic possession, while Malcolm tries his best to keep up; despite his immensity, he is not winded by moving, an obvious gift of the lord of decay.

As he is regaling his new found friend of the fate teller who divined the future of one of his favorite nurglings, the Butcher opens a door in time to watch Drevan's throat blown open by a blast of red energy. The khornate falls before his eyes, his blood pumping quickly from his body. He turns his head, watching the guards come down the hallway to confirm their kill, and finds that they have not noticed the open door behind them, more intent on the prone Khornate. He also spies the commissar laying on the floor, looking directly at him. Westin widens his eyes and grimaces, nodding towards the Khornate and then his own sword, which he has thrown down on the floor near the door.

The guards are pre-occupied with binding Drevan's legs and arms, and only one is keeping watch on the commissar.

I unironically like Anders as a character.
The Butcher

What's this? Again? Butcher glances up at Malcolm, shrugging, before lifting off and shooting down the hall, barreling into the Captain to grab him, hauling the man up. The marine holds his oddly dripping sword at the captain's throat, addressing the others. "WELL, WELL, FELLOWS. YOU HAVE BEEN OUTWITTED BY TWO OF NURGLE'S FINEST," he booms out out of his helmet speaker. "DROP THE WEAPONS AND RELEASE YOUR TWO PRISONERS, AND YOU'LL ALL GO UNHARMED."
