Warhorse47 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Planning her route, she watched the approach of the slavers as the prisoners passed beneath her hiding spot. Their progress was slow, as the Eldar enjoyed using the whips, which caused them to stop as the victims were helped back to their feet after the torture. She tensed her muscles as her prey strolled under her. Dropping behind him, she shouted an oath and as he whirled she drove the iron rod through his throat. As he hit the ground, she dove around the corner as splinter rifle fire sent brick splinters whizzing past her ears. Smiling now, she heard them come after her. Hurdling rubble, the long legged huntress led her pursuers down the path she had chosen. Each burst from a splinter gun would carry it's distinct sounds to the Space Wolves nearby. Sudden blinding pain sent her sprawling to the ground as the lash of a neural whip caught her in the side. She rolled free and came up to her knees snarling, as she found herself with two slavers behind her and one ahead of her. Seeing a whip flash from the corner of her eye, she caught it on her forearm's armor keeping it from stunning her again. She lunged to the side desperately trying to avoid two more lashes that flickered at her. "I will take my time and enjoy you fully" sneered the slaver who had first caught her. Another lash hitting home cut off her reply and caused her eyes to water and brought bitter bile to her mouth. Looking up, she watched the Eldar laugh as he drew back the whip and sent it towards her again...... She thought her eyes had failed her as the Eldar suddenly blurred in her vision as she heard the crackle of the whip strike home. But it had wrapped around the armored gauntlet of a Marine. "You alright back there Kit?" rasped a familiar voice. "I told before Unca Warts, DON'T call me kit." She looked over her shoulder to see the two that had been behind her slumped lifeless and the grins of Arez and Forte as they stood over the bodies. She pulled herself upright and realized that Warhorse had the last one by the throat. "When you're ready Kit, this one is all yours." he said winking at her. She grinned at him, then reached over and drew his new axe from it's scabbard. Long bladed, Firenze had just finished it for the Gray Hunter before their lift off from Fenris. "Give him back that whip and get out of my way." was her comment. Now a deadly dance began. The Slaver, fast and agile, using the whip to keep Skadi at range, while her speed and hunger for revenge fueled her hunting skills. The combat training she had received from maverik and Jonas now began to show. The axe flashing in a pattern that thirsted for it's baptism of combat and spurred her on. The whip grazed her ear, singeing her hair, but it allowed her to slide under her enemies attack. He smoothly slid away from the blade and started to laugh but it was cut short as he realized that attack was a feint that now saw Skadi drive the spike mounted on the pommel through his skull. "Well, I guess that proves a kraken's skull spike is tougher than a xenos' skull, doesn't it?" observed Arez.

Warhorse47 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 As the last of the Wolves stepped off the transport, the bay at the Fang rang out with greetings to the returned brothers. Quiet then gripped the area as a treasured Leman Russ tank rolled out towing another one with a crushed front end. Then cheers erupted and Iron Priests and their servitors ran forward, without any pretense of dignity. Firenze climbed from atop the tank to be quickly mobbed by his brothers, as if he had vanquished Horus himself. Suddenly Ragnarok called out for his diminished company to form up as their Master, Logan Grimnar, approached to welcome them home. He paused, then with a fond smile he ran his hand over the forward gun mount. “Ah, I certainly do miss having these along with us….”, then he turned “Ragnarok, welcome home! Your report from the Libarium World sounds like you at least had some fun. We do not have enough new blood yet to rebuild you to where you need to be, but I do have a gift for all of you, waiting in the Great Dining Hall.” As the Wolves last chase in the Library World had been over the destruction of the last keg of Fenrisian Ale, this resulted in cheers from the Company. Entering the hall, they looked about, but saw nothing to show preparation for a celebration. Indeed, the only thing there were a couple of packs of Blood Claws that they had not seen before and a very familiar face, Ingazr, and the ancient Priest, smiled broadly as they entered. He walked over and handed a data slate over to Ragnarok. Scanning the slate, Ragnarok first smiled broadly, then began to laugh. “First, congratulations to Jonas, he has been approved as our newest Wolf Guard!” Loud cheers echoed and rang through the rafters of the hall. “Also, we have had two new packs of Blood Claws added to our ranks.” He gestured to the new comers in the hall as the other Wolves looked them over, measuring them. “Pack Red Fang, stand up and recognize your new Pack Leader, who will train you to be Space Wolves. Hendrick, you will forge them into the Pack they will become! Pack Sharp Tooth, you will be led by Jester, sharpen their edges and forge their souls in those worthy of the name, Space Wolf. And Jonas, as you are now Wolf Guard you will no longer lead your pups. Name your successor.” Jonas thought for a moment, then with a sly grin stated, “There is only one who can lead that pack of thieves, cutthroats and rascals. Warhorse, they are all yours!” Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196758-tales-of-the-young-pups/page/5/#findComment-3134379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhorse47 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 The three Gray Hunters were all surprised at Ragnarok's decision, none moreso than Warhorse. As Hendrick and Jester headed towards their new assignments, Warhorse stood speechless, staring at Jonas. Forte reached over and pushed his chin upward, shutting his mouth. Snapping out of his surprise, Warhorse aimed a kick where it would do the most good, but Forte had wisely moved out of range. "Alright, gather round, we have things to iron out." Before he could continue there was a clang followed by a loud thud echoing across the room. When Jester walked up to his new pack, it was obvious that every member of his new group was far larger than he. Spotting the obvious self appointed leader and spokesman. "are you really a Space Marine?" he mocked. Proving the ancient adage "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog", Jester's blinding move resulted in his head bouncing off the heavy oaken table and the Claw on his back with Jester standing over him. He then reached down and pulled him back upright. "Go get some ale for us and I will start finding out about all of you." He then sttled onto a comfortable bench and began looking over his pups. Hendrick's group, having seen the style of "education" accepted by this Company, wisely made room at the head of their table. Asking Mikal Wolfheart to join them, he explained that beginning tomorrow they would begin training with jump packs. Suddenly the air hissed with the sound and ozone smell of the Warp opening a portal. Blood Claws looked on in surprise and then quickly followed their elders example of grabbing weapons and preparing for whatever might come through the opening. Two figures stepped through, both clad in the power armor of Space Wolves. "Irlin, Decoy! Good to see you two again!" boomed the voice of Ragnarok as the other Wolves crowded round their old friends. "We needed some armor repairs and some good ale, so we came on in." They were quickly filled in on the new additions and changes. Walking over to Jester's table, Decoy made room for himself. Noting the goose egg on the forehead of one, he grinned, "Tough little sucker,ain't he?" Meanwhile, Horst was facing an entirely different challenge. "I want an actual list of what kind of weaponry and the other things you lunatics have managed to highjack or steal, so I know what we have really got to work with." There were several guarded glances between the pack members as they began to describe their hoard. His eyes growing wider as the list grew longer, Warhorse finally just sank his head into his hands, covering his eyes. Picking up Jonas' scent, he looked up at his friend whio just laughed "Yeah, they really are something, aren't they?" Looking at his Pack, Horst simply said "Tomorrow we are gonna time you all on cycles and attack bikes to see who is the fastest drivers on them." They all looked at him in surprise "I thought you hated riding a bike?" Arez queried. "I do. I'm flat lousy on one, but I can outshoot any of you. I'm gonna ride shotgun with whichever one of you I choose to drive the attack bike."
