Blitzog was driven into a frenzy as his band of gitz was driven to a fanatical rampage. Charging through the ruins of Hamilcar, they smashed into the Imperial Guard lines, hacking and chopping at the beleaguered guardsmen with impunity. Blitzog himself led the charge, bellowing in fury as he swung his power axe and cleaved the humie commander in half.
The rest of the Guardsmen were routed before they could so much as raise a bayonet, chopped to bits bu the berserk greenskins. Dripping in blood and viscera Blitzog raised his axe high and yelled in triumph.
"Get yer head down, boss!"
One of the greenskins hollered, ducking as plasma blasts streaked overhead. One of the scrapjets vanished in an explosion, caught in the incadescent fury of a volcano cannon. Ikeda's Shadowsword, Tenken, lumbered forward, its sponson lascannons and twin heavy bolters chattering. A bombblaster fell apart, unable to withstand the barrage, but its comrade pulled back after having recklessly charged a now smoking Leman Russ tank.
Mizuno's Taiyou didn't bother firing, having reversed in order to allow his commander a clear shot. On the other side, the Armored Sentinel squadron led by Ueda smashed into the Orks' ranks, scything them down with buzzing chainsaws.
"Fall back!" Blitzog barked. One of his Boyz looked up, stupefied.
"But, boss! We iz not runnin' away from a good krumpin'!"
"Shut up, ya git! Who's da boss here? Ya or me?"
"Sorry, boss..."
Knowing that their warboss had the kunnin' of Mork, the chastened Boyz fell back from the vengeful Sentinels having lost more to the vengeful Sentinels. Fortunately, the bomber jet swooped in as reinforcements and fragged the Sentinels with a bunch of explosives, blowing the bipedal walkers open.
Not to be outdone, Tenken crushed the remaining bombblaster and opened fire at the retreating greenskins. The Orks were cut down and annihilated, but Blitzog cared not for his Boyz. Instead, he grabbed hold of a railing of his Trukk and hauled himself back in.
"Drive, ya git!"
The driver of the trukk complied, yanking on the steering wheel and twisting away. While the trukk dodged the shells and las-fire of the Shadowsword, two Deff Dreads teleported right in front of a stunned Mizuno.
"What on Holy Terra...?"
The lead Deff Dread cannonballed into Taiyou, and with four power klaws, mauled the already damaged tank. Even the venerable Leman Russ Executioner tank couldn't endure such a vicious onslaught.
"Eat lava, grox frakkers!" Ikeda yelled. The volcano cannon lit up again and the Deff Dread vanished. The other Deff Dread also stumbled when Tenken fire its lascannons into it, but it stood its ground. Until Tenken ran it over and crushed it under its adamantium tracks.
The last surviving scrapjet served about and smashed into one of the Saints' statues, burning it to the ground. By the time Ikeda rallied and turned toward the scrapjet, it had already razed a second idol, the engines burning furiously.
"That's enough!"
Even as the Shadowsword shuddered from the explosive projectiles from the bomber jet above, its weapons howled ferociously. The lascannons tore the sole surviving scrapjet apart, turning it into, well, scrap. The volcano cannon erased the Trukk from existence, but Blitzog launched himself out with a half-ditch effort. With a roar, he charged toward the Shadowsword, only to bounce off the front plating.
Despite the bruises, he picked himself up and rend the front armor of the reverseing Tenken. Ikeda split his attention, firing at both the bomber jet and the furious warboss, but only the aircraft crashed.
"Drive me closer!" He ordered the tank driver, waving his hand. "I want to hit it with my sword!"
Tenken growled as it rammed Blitzog over, but the Warboss wasn't going down without a fight. Snarling, he carved the Shadowsword open, exposing the tank compartment. Grinning, he reached in and plucked the screaming driver out with his klaw.
"There ya are, little humies..."
"Frak you!" Ikeda yelled and slammed his palm down on a red button. The Shadowsword juddered and blew up, hurling Blitzog across the air. He slammed into the ground and skidded, leaving an ugly trail.
For a few moments, Blitzog lay there, stunned. Then he slowly rose to his feet, shrugging off the mortal wound that he would otherwise have suffered from the explosion. With a grin, he raised his power axe and bellowed triumphantly.
"WAAAGH! Hah, take that, puny humies! Ya iz not gonna beat me! Because I da best!"
As if to emphasize his point, he swung his power axe and smashed the next idol, sealing his victory and proving the superiority of the greenskins over the poor humies.
