(General POV)
Location Warhammer Old World-Kislev, North Oblast: Edge of the Corrupted Tzeentchian Lands of the Dark Legion, Battlefield; Dark Legion vs. Kislev & Dwarves
Now it was time for Malakai to face a possible good death, as standing before him was the infamous, Chosen of the Gods, Ixion Daemonhart.
The tzeentchian Chaos Lord, was ready to face him in a duel to the death, making the Slayer Engineer smile, loading his gun and saying, "Well ye bastard. Are you gonna fight me, or what?" Tzeentch/Ixion responded his question very quickly.
Rushing straight at him, Malakai, he quickly lifted and aimed, once he got his mark he pulled the trigger, firing at Ixion, only for his bullet to be stop suspended in mid air, this shocking event almost let him open to an attack from the Arcane Monarch.
As a sword and harbert thrust came at the Slayer Engineer, but Malakai was swift little creature, dodging both attacks and shooting at Ixion again, but it happened again his shot was floating in the air...he really hated magic...as it's now plain to see the only way he'll take out Ixion Daemonhart is to outwit him.
So for now the Slayer Engineer, strapped his gun onto his back, and drew his axe that carries should he run out ammo or like now has a enemy that proves to be hard to shot at.
Malakai let out a battle cry, and charge straight at Ixion, this caught Tzeentch by surprise, as he didn't expect a ranged expert to switch to melee.
Swinging his strong, finely crafted axe upon the rib section of the Chasen of the Gods, the loud cracking sound and spark flying off Ixion's armor was concerning, one thing that the Dark One forgot that dwarvish runes in lore and story narrative isn't magic, but a unique force in itself.
Meaning that Ixion doesn't have any resistance or protections against runic weapons, Laharl, he immediately warned his brothers of this damn loophole that cab penetrate the defenses that their avatar has.
Those were grim news, as Malakai drew back his dawi axe to strike again at Ixion, Tzeentch made Ixion to kick the Slayer Engineer, in the gut knocking him away.
Malakai was rolling from the blow, he was forced to drive his axe into the ground to stop himself.
This is the first actual battle that not only the Changer but his brothers, the Warp Gods, were in danger of losing, all for facing against a damn loophole, a loophole that can greatly damage their avatar.
Tzeentch checked the damage caused, seeing that the slayer's runic axe had nearly broke through the avatar's armor, cracks were formed around the site of the blow, before Tzeentch could do anything else...he and his brothers, felt the growing anger of the Dark One.
Immediately they'd remembered when Wulfrik caused some damage and broke a piece of Ixion before, sending the Chaos God of Creation into a blind fury, unintentionally surging his ruinous Godly powers out of Ixion, a swirling aura of violet, black, and burgundy was emerging from their avatar.
This moment of distraction, allowed Malakai to get back on his feet and see that the Chosen of the Gods, was...shifting...
Shifting between a tzeentchian and undivided state, a dark, nightmarish aura leaked out of him, this caused him to coward...he looked at his body shaking, never has Malakai ever shoke from fear, plus his mind started to be assaulted by vision of horrors of maddening.
As the dwarf fought through these mental assaults, the Warp Gods try to calm their eldest brother, few things trigger his godly wrath, and one of those things is a item of his creation and personal use by damaged, it took some time to calm down Laharl, which lower his divine presence, hence why Malakai was suffering from his [Terror & Insanity] divinities.
As the visions and emotion surge was waining off the Slayer Engineer, shuke his head, but still the tzeentchian Chaos Lord was still standing still before him.
Not one to take for granted a gift horse in the mouth, he put away his axe and switch again with his gun, and after taking aim, he fired at Ixion hitting the Chosen of the Gods, dead on with a powerful blast from a shotgun.
Grunting out of Ixion, as he was knocked down onto the snow, making the Slayer Engineer, let out a boisterous "Ha", and also said in excited sounding voice, "Take that you, damned magical bastard!!" that spread of dawi-ore cased bullet, caused further damage to the avatar Ixion.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Malakai, he started to reload and prepare for the next exchange between the two of them.
Location Kislev Skies, on the Spirit of Grungni Deck
The crew operating the airship of their leader, Malakai Makaisson, as the slayer pirates, engineers, and thunderers that were on board the airship, were still dealing with the swarm of bats, direbats, and furies that are attacking them.
Shooting everything that they can hit, while the pilot, steered/maneuver the ship as best he could to avoid any of those creatures from either causing serious damage or getting on their airship.
Shrieking was echoing allover along with the sound of cannons and gun blasting allover the air, that's when the bats started acting more erratic, as they along with the direbats started swarming upward and leave towards the ground, leaving the furies to fight against the Spirit of Grungni crew on their own.
This was a good opportunity for the crew to fight back, blasting all the furies that in their sights, as the pilot saw that the blizzard was starting to dissappear, allowing him and in turn his fellow kin to see the appearing battlefield.
Finally they can provide the necessary supporting fire for their ground units, as the pilot yelled at his fellow crewmates to keep fighting, soon they start another bombardment onto the Chaos bastards.
As the airship continue fighting against the Chaos Furies still swarming over the Spirit of Grungni.
Location Kislev Grond Level, on the Battleground between Ixion Daemonhart and Malakai Makaisson
Tzeentch/Ixion groan as the Changer, he made the avatar step back up after being blasted by Malakai's shotgun, even Laharl "oouhhed" cause he believe in one thing in any gun oriented game, or story, or movie, that "You'll never go wrong with a shotgun." but even he never wanted to experience a shotgun blast, while it didn't cause as intense damage as the Malakai's runic axe.
Grunting, as Tzeentch made Ixion stretch and crack the joints of the avatar, it was clear that Tzeentch wasn't happy, as Malakai was laughing and ready to keep fighting, this only made the Changer annoyed as he made Ixion spread his four arms and three weapons ready to fight as well.
Malakai was once again charging forwards, being the aggressor like any slayer would do in a big fight.
Shooting at Ixion a couple of times, instead of suspending the shots like before, Tzeentch grabbed ahold of those round and blast them back at the Slayer Engineer, twice the speed of Malakai's original shots.
One of the bullet only managed to scrape against his left cheek, but the other hit his left shoulder, as blood gushed out and his skin was cinched by the blast.
As he scream out in pain, and was blasted away by the shotgun blast of his own bullet sent back at him, but before he could crash onto the snow, he felt some invisible force coated his body and pulled him towards Ixion.
Tzeentch used telepathic power to pull his victim towards him, in order to kill the damned slayer that caused some amount of damage to the Warp Gods avatar, but to his surprise of the Slayer Engineer's ingenuity as he was being telepathic pulled to his enemy, he used all his strength to pull the trigger on his gun, blasting himself forward in a greater speed than Tzeentch expected the slayer to soar to him.
As Malakai smashed against Ixion, knocking him to the ground and thus causing the Changer's psyker hold on his opponent to be released and both of them were smashed to the snowy ground.
Quickly getting off the Arcane Monarch, Malakai grunted in pain from both his shoulder wound and the blow he just suffered using himself as a damn bullet to hit, Ixion.
Fighting through the pain, and thanks to his dwarvish physiology he didn't suffer much from both the wounds that he sustained, struggling a bit, but he manage to get his other arm over his gun to steady it and take aim at the downed Ixion, that was starting to stand back up.
Just when Malakai was about to shot at Ixion, a swarm of bats came and started to swarm around Malakai, scratching and biting onto him, as he swiped around his arms to swat away the bats on him.
Ixion/Tzeentch was being surrounded by bats, which confused him, until the Dark One explained that these bats must have reacted to his divine aura, that he released a moment ago, being the Chaos God of Bats, they must have sensed him and come to protect him, which in turn meant protecting Tzeentch currently, since he the one operating the avatar at the moment.
Now understanding, Tzeentch made the avatar to get back up, he was getting very tired of being knocked down to the ground over, and over, and over again!!!
Sensing the Architect frustration and anger, the other Warp Gods could only guess is because of him being knocked onto his ass, more times than any of them combined...they really fought back the erge to laugh...
The Changer commanded Laharl's bats to go away, as he desires to kill the Slayer Engineer on his own, his brothers respected his wish and the Dark One commanded the bats to leave, with a swarm flying away leaving Ixion/Tzeentch and Malakai alone to continue their fight.
Location Kislev Skies, on the Spirit of Grungni Deck
A slayer pirate blew the head off of khornate fury, with his fliplock pistol, as the furies were taking a large amount of loses to their swarms, making them fly away from the airship, this made all the dwarves on the deck cheer on their victory...while the pirate slayers were half-cheering, as only a couple of them managed to die in that battle.
Now finally free from the furies swarms, they can finally initiate the bombing run onto the Dark Legion, the commanding dwarf on the steering wheel, starting ordering around the crew to reload the cannons, and prepare the bombs for their run.
They yelled in conformation, and run around to get ready, the best part that magical blizzard finally ceased, and disappeared making their sight clear, thus making their upcoming run more successful and cause less losses amongst their allies.
Location Kislev Grond Level, on the Battleground between Ixion Daemonhart and Malakai Makaisson
Back to the duel, Malakai, he was still fighting from a distance shooting at the Chosen of the Gods, as many times as he was able.
But using his psychic power, Tzeentch protect himself from all the shotgun blasts sent at him, along with using more magical attacks to the Slayer Engineer, from lightning blasts, firebolts, ice shards, and tzeentchian arcane shots at the damn slayer.
Cuts, and burns were covering the body of Malakai, but he didn't show despair, instead he was very excited, this fight was the greatest he has ever fought up still now, and quite possibly the good death will be close now, but before he died the Slayer Engineer, he swore that he'll take down this Chaos Lord.
Just when they were about to attack one another again, when a surge of explosion was happening around the battlefield.
In the sky, the airship of the Spirit of Grungni, was shooting all their payload onto the battleground, from cannon shots to dropping bombs down onto the ground.
Because the slayers were to involved in the fighting, that they failed to noticed the bomb and cannon-shells raining down upon them, blasting human, dwarf, and daemon alike in a inferno explosion, before Malakai could signal to the airship to stop the run, as his crew were too enthralled in the battle to care more about their lives...when he was hit by a tzeentchian harbert on the chest.
Slightly digging into his flesh, as the blow cut more his leather clothing over his flesh, soo it did was more blunt damage over slashing, seems that luck wasn't on Malakai's side as he unfortunately escaped the jaws of death, by a literal fraction of a margin.
Turning to the air, the Architect sent a mental command to Enzium to handle the damn airship, as the Living Fortress Daemon, roared and started making it way to the airship.
When the dwarf crew, as they bombard the battlefield, the frilled, horned, skull-headed titanic daemon, blasted all as the weapons strapped onto the back of the giant daemon, launching magma meteorites, hellfire cannons, plague heads, and more.
Enzium's onslaught was too intense for the dwarf pilot, steering the airship couldn't keep up, as the Spirit of Grungni was hit with arcane electricity, hellfire blasts, blighted projectiles, and lastly as Enzium changed up it death ray from it mouth, and then unleash a massive ray of destruction made from carnage and darkness sources of Chaos.
Cause the pilot managed to barely evade the death ray, but not entirely as the purple, violet, and gray ray hit one of the engines of the back of the Spirit of Grungni airship, a small explosion occurred below deck and the airship was losing power and altitude.
As the airship was going down, the dwarf in charge order the crew to unload everything, if their going to die, they'll take down everyone of those Chaos bastards with them.
Cheering and doing exactly as their commanding dawi-kin, unleashing everything, causing a large surge of explosions, hitting everything down below, some of these bombs fell close to where Tzeentch/Ixion and Malakai were fighting...as the bomb shells were falling, Tzeentch heard from Nurgle, "You are...a...idiot...Tzeentch...", Tzeentch responded, "Screw you, Corpse God..." as a explosion happen right next to them...
Malakia was also caught on the shockwave of the bomb blast, he barely managed to survive.
As his flesh was badly burned, and bare, he struggled to stand up, as all the snow was melted away from the heat, from the blast, but then he saw Ixion stand back up his armor badly battered and burned from the explosion, he took cover to avoid his enemy from spotted him.
Tzeentch had to use his magic and psyker power to forced the avatar to stand back up, having to temporarily banish his weapons and focused his power to forcibly repair Ixion, all the while the Dark One, the Blood God, and Rot Lord were yelling and berating the Sorceror God.
Tzeentch heard as Laharl angrily commented that he could avoided all that damage to their avatar, and forces if he just used his own psyker power to bring down the airship, the Changer grumbled as begrudgingly couldn't argue his brothers comments, and rant.
Meanwhile Malakai was badly wounded, and without weapons, he gun and axe were lost after the blast, and he'd refuse to die without giving everything in this fight, that's when he noticed he was near a large pile of dead from both side...and he also noticed a couple of engineers and thunderers, which have explosives still in tact on their bodies.
As a last attempt to take out the Chosen of the Gods, Malakai, he quickly rushed over at his fallen kin, and took the bombs strapped in the bodies of some his fallen non-slayer crew, and ready himself for a last hurrah!!!
Finally he has found it...a good honorable death, at last his bloodline will forever be re-vindicated in the eyes of the Ancestors, and all dawi kind...now it was time to die, like a true dwarf!!!!
He gets up and started make his way to deal with the damned, Chosen of the Gods, gathering all his remaining strength to end this fight once for all...
As Tzeentch/Ixion was standing up more straight, cause he managed to restore as much of the damage that the avatar suffered from the final blast that he just suffered from the Spirit of Grungni, just a moment ago.
While Enzium did dealt with that damned airship, he can return his focus on Malakai Makaisson, who to Warp Gods surprise was rushing over to him...strapped with bombs!!!!
Laharl, Khorne, and Nurgle were yelling at their brother to pay attention and warn him on the oncoming danger that was about to befall them!!!
Tzeentch came back to his senses, stopping what he was doing to see what his brothers were warning him about, a barely alive Malakai strapped in bombs was rushing toward him, as Tzeentch was forced to use his power to stop Malakai as he was just about to right upon him, to blow them both up...but it was too late, already Malakai ignited these bombs, and blew himself and Ixion up in a great inferno.
