Chapter 15 - Boss Kael givin' da bugs a propa krumpin'

BOOM-KRAK-KABOOM!

The space lit up a shade of orange as barrage after barrage of Orky rockets slammed into Bellwether Station from its now ork infested ring. Explosions ripped across its ancient hull — burning, blasting and krumpin' old metal and bug nests alike. Every detonation lit the darkness of space and sent limbs flying around.

"FIRE MORE DAKKA!"

"FLING DA BIGGA BOOMZ!"

"WAAAGH!!"

Massive gun structures and sentries bristling with scrap cannons and rocket launchers lined the orbital docks, and pods kept being dropped from the red-painted ship Da Spitta Moon. Grots frantically reloaded launchers as meks laughed while slapping buttons and pulling levers that probably shouldn't have worked but did anyway.

The station shook under the endless bombardment.

Inside insectoids screeched in insect scattering through ventilation shafts and hollow corridors. Some were incinerated outright. Others vanished in fire. Their hives blistered and cracked from the heat and shrapnel.

Then came the drop pods.

FWOOOOOOM-KLAK-KLUNK!

Dozens of hulking metal caskets shot from orbit, each trailing fire and smoke as it thundered down toward the weakened station shell.

In the biggest pod, dead center of the formation, stood Kael.

He was no longer just a man. No longer just a commander.

He was now a real WAAAGH-Boss.

Clad in custom ork armor, resembling a mix or astartes and ork aesthetic made from scavenged Ork tech fused with alloys scrapped from the ship snd painted in black with yellow details while green currents flicker around, he radiated power.

His left arm ended in a massive 4 fingered Killa Klaw capable of tearing apart thick metal walls twitching with sparks, its blades humming with green energy.

In his right hand, he carried a brutal Ork choppa-axe, almost as tall as a regular ork and twice heavy than regular choppas. It glowed faintly with psychic heat, edged in jagged teeth made from metal and insect fangs.

Add to this was that figure has reached an astonishing 3 meteres tall with a physique that would make every bodybuilder feel insecure.

Feeling the impact strong enough to crush regular humans from the drop pod hitting the surface, he reached forward and ripped the pod door off early.

Outside, the station's main chamber came into view.

Smoke, fire, bug parts, and wreckage.

Kael stepped out into the platform, His eyes scanned the enemy hundreds if not thousands of insectoids swarming the impact zone.

"Let's get loud," he muttered.

"SKREEEEEEEEEEE"

In front of him a massive insect resembling a centipede charged forward. It's 4 meter tall height and 20 meter long body clad in thick exoskeleton made it look like a gigantic armored train. Orks call it the "Crawla Tank"

It charged at him at speed not befitting it's size but as it though it would crush the tin can in front of it-

BANG!

A massive force suddenly stuck the side of Its head, exoskeleton carving it and sending it sideways before crashing into a nearby wall.

"Haaaa" pulling his arm back- now filled with insectoid blood kael couldn't help but let out a breath.

Power

He felt it

In the past few days his power began to increase at a fast rate. Everyday he would grow bigger, muscles thicker, bones stronger. However he also felt the instability of his power- it's foreign nature, something that could only be fixed by fighting a strong foe to truly assimilate it according to the voices from his dream.

"DA BOSS IZ 'ERE! WAAAGH!!"

Orks erupted from the craters behind him shooting, screaming, chomping, krumpin' anything that moved. Squigs leapt off their leashes, biting through chitin with gaping jaws. Grotz swarmed like ants, throwing knives, bombs, and whatever they have.

The horde formed behind Kael like a wave of green fury.

Kael advanced. With every step he made orks around him seemed to empowered. His very presence seemed to charge them.

Bossboot cackled with glee, raising his shoota and letting loose.

"Bugs iz fer krumpin'! Da WAAAGH sayz so!"

Kael raised his hand and the air in fron of him trembled.

With a surge of emerald lightning, the walls shook. pipes burst. The Waaagh-field ignited around him like a storm as green arcs of energy leapt out from his fingers, ripping charging insectoids apart.

A wave of force erupted again from his body, flattening dozens of insects their chitin cracking, legs snapped, and blood splattered.

Orks behind him froze in awe.

"Zog me... dat's da voice o' Gork and Mork..."

"He's da prophet, lads!"

"Da WAAAGH is wiv 'im!"

The bugs kept coming.

But Kael only grinned wider.

"More of you? Good. I ain't even started yet."

He started charging, running in speed that doesn't match his size. If there's any other intelligent species here they would have felt it- transhuman dread or simply "Nothing that big should move that fast".

Kael slammed into the oncoming bug swarm.

The impact echoed through the hollow corridor heavy thuds of boots, steel, and the guagntic axe scraping the floor. He was charging to the bugs like an unstoppable juggernaut.

The bugs came in swarms of hundreds their claws clattering, and thier mandibles twitching a sight that woulmake anyone wet their pants.

But Kael didn't flinch. He wasn't his past self anymore.Instead, he went full DOOMGUY.

He stepped forward and swung his choppa axe in a wide, vicious arc. Bisecting three insectoids mid-screech, their insides flinging out like meat confetti. One tried to leap from the ceiling.

" Bad move."

Kael raised his massive Killa Klaw and caught the thing midair before crushed it like a soda can. Green ichor burst out from the gaps between the claws.

Another charged from behind. Kael turned with an annoyed grunt, grabbed it by the face, and curb-stomped it into the deck so hard the floor cracked and bug goo sprayed up like a busted hydraulic pipe.

"Finish him," he muttered.

He actually felt like he heard the Mortal Kombat announcer in his head.

One of the insectoids spat acid at him. Kael didn't dodge instead tanked it. Letting it melt part of his shoulder plating. Then he grinned, eyes glowing faintly green from the Waaagh energy building inside him.

"Cute. My turn."

He charged forward like a freight train. His axe spun up in speed impossible to see with an ordinary human's eye producing a mini sonic boom, teeth screeching as they bit into carapace after carapace. Heads rolled, and legs flew all around. One unfortunate bug even got its spine ripped out and used as a makeshift flail to knock the others down bowling-style.

He gripped another with the Killa Klaw, raised it high like it was Simba, and then ripped it in half with a roar so loud it rattld the surroundings.

ULTRA COMBOOOO!

The last bug tried to nope out. Kael casually yeeted the axe watching it spin like a Beyblade of death and embed itself in the creature's chest.

Kael stomped over, yanked the axe free with a grunt, and flicked bug goop off the blade.

His armor hissed steam from its vents. The green glow around him was getting stronger angrier. He could feel the psychic pressure building up

"more," he said, cracking his neck. "Rip and tear until it is done."
