Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter and those things da 'umies ride
The Showdown
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGorgutz placed his pointy stikk back in it's original place on his armour. He knew this Big Squig would at least try to put up a fight, but it's Wierdboyz-like dakka had already proven itself unable to break through the armoured-exoskeleton.
He turned his head to ensure he wasn't back-stabbed by the six smaller Squigs and found they were in no condition to do anything.
The purple wierdboy was lying on the floor, bleeding badly from the bullet holes from Gorgutz's dakka while the cowardly yellow one attempted to stop the bleeding.
Of the two who charged him earlier, the flying one was out cold against the wall to Gorgutz's right while the other one was knocked out against a pile of rubble behind him.
The pink and white ones were watching him.
He would take their heads later, the Big Squig's head would obviously be more impressive looking on his pointy stikk.
"Come on then, Ork."
The ork and alicorn began to circle each other warily.
"I think ya ead will look much betta at da top of ma pointy stikk."
"And I think you would look better as a messy splat on my castle floor."
"An I wish I ad more dakka an boyz right now. Ain't gonna appen, Squig."
"Oh yes it will!"
Nightmare leaped at Gorgutz's exposed face, attempting to smash in the Ork's face with her fore-hooves.
Gorgutz laughed and with surprising speed for something as large as him moved his klaw into the path of the brutal buck. The room echoed with the clang of hoof on metal as the buck dented the klaw slightly.
Gorgutz smashed Nightmare in the face with the kustom shoota mounted on his left arm, smashing her face to the side as he withdrew a few meters to give himself some firing room.
Nightmare shook her head, growling in pain at the bruise the shoota had made on her face.
"I'll get you for this!" She beat her wings, flying back a short way, always facing the ork.
From there, she analysed her options- either go straight in and no doubt be killed or divebomb him until he was defeated.
Deciding on the latter course of action, she flew out of the hall through the long-destroyed ceiling and turned downwards, preparing to charge Gorgutz from above.
Gorgutz watched as the Big Squig flew out of the hall's ceiling. "Damn flyin Squigz..." he muttered to himself, the Stormboyz would only intervene if Ucky forced them to, and Ucky knew that would invoke the wrath of Gorgutz's power klaw.
The Big Squig twisted in midair, turning to face Gorgutz.
The Ork laughed. The Squig was trying this again, was she? Or was it a he? Gorgutz didn't know or care.
He raised his kustom shoota into the sky and aimed it at the Big Squig's wing. "Dat flyin thing won't be flyin no more afta dis..."
The Big Squig began her dive, and Gorgutz let rip into the sky.
Nightmare could feel the air trails and hear the zip of the bullets as the passed worryingly close to her face and wings. She extended her forehooves once again, except this time the ork couldn't possibily raise that metal claw of his to block...
She screamed in pain as a bullet tore right through her left wing, leaving a jagged hole where then should have been feathers. Nightmare folded her wings in, deciding speed and power was better than accuracy.
Gorgutz watched as the Squig folded it's wings in and continued it's dive straight towards him. He raised his claw in a desperate attempt to stop the attack but he was too slow.
Nightmare smashed her hooves into the upper part of Gorgutz's armour, sending the ork sprawling to the ground.
She grinned, this had been the first time she had truly felt alive in centuries.
She raised her forehooves Gorgutz's face as she used her last remaining magic to hold the ork's arms in place.
"You could never stand before me!" Nightmare shouted, gloating in her victory.
"That's where you're wrong, ya stupid Squig."
A high humming sound filled the air as Nightmare turned to Gorgutz's klaw arm, revealing a long barrel jutting out from the klaw pointed squarely at her chest.
The Pulse Gun fired, tearing Nightmare Moon's body to sub-atomic shreds in a matter of moments but leaving the head intact.
Gorgutz tore the head from the neck and rammed the head onto his pointy stikk with a satisfying squelch.
Gorgutz turned and prepared to head for the other Squigs to take their head before a loud, commanding voice called from behind him.
"What is thou doing in our kingdom, brute? Wouldst thou attempt to claim the lives of our ponies? Thou must go through me first."
Gorgutz turned to find a dark blue Big Squig, similar to the other Big Squig, staring down at him, that wierd glowy thing encompassing its horn.
At this point, if Gorgutz was rational, he would have questioned where did this thing come from, what was it doing and the like.
However, Gorgutz was not rational. Instead, he shrugged.
And bellowed out "WAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" as he charged into battle once again.
There was another Big Squig head just asking to be placed on the pointy stikk.
A bright flash, similar to those produced by the Tau photon grenades, lit up the middle of the hall, revealing yet another Big Squig, this time a blinding white like the snow on Lorn V.
One more Big Squig head for the stikk.
Gorgutz stopped his charge at the first Big Squig and instead shouted to his boyz.
"Oi, ya gitz, take dat Big white Squig down, but leave da 'ead intact ro I'll have all of ya 'eadz for ma stikk!"
The ten Stormboyz and one Nob charged down the Manta's ramp, pleased to be finally getting in on the fighting.
