Skaven moved through the city, crawling above the street below using his clawed, hand-like feet. His nose twitched and sniffled at the air, he smelled something he wasn't used to, it smelled like a human but why would a human be in this district? and what was that lingering scent about the human? Skaven saw the target, it was a human, kinda small, completely covered from head to toe in a worn robe, his head wrapped and obscured. His hands covered with gloves as he talked with some lesser demons. Scaven dropped down in front of the target and shouted.
"STOP CRIMINAL SCUM!"
The being looked up, his hooded head turning to the rat-demon, then he ran, or was it a he? It could've been anyone under that hood... There came a sound, a strange series of clicks. Skaven knew exactly who that was, dropped to all fours, and started to run after the fugitive. They ducked down alleys and around corners, Skaven slowly gaining as he clawed and scrambled over walls and around corners, his prey stumbling through the streets and dodging debris. "JUST GIVE UP AND DIE!" Skaven's voice rasped as he bounded towards his prey.
The clicking noise gave way to the sound of tearing fabric, two great metal wings pushing through the robe. Yet they were not like normal wings, the fugitive's body revealed, a human form but opening, parting, folding in and parts folding out. A great tail ending in sharp, bladed fins. A dark blue body of metal plates and slick skin, rows upon rows of bladed teeth as his great jaw formed, his head vanishing behidn the folding metal frame, a pair of glowing headlight eyes as his fishy body formed, more sharky than fishy in reality. The Shark hit the ground then quickly seemed to pass into it, sinking through the dirt and splashing down, a single bladed fin tearing down the street, yet still barely fast enough to keep ahead of the bounding rat.
"YOU! YOU MISERABLE SHARK I'LL RIP YOU APART!" It was the Clash, a marauding beast who refused to bow to Mundus, refused to accept his place in the grand scheme of things, favoring frivolities such as freedom and luxuries like unending liberty. Skaven seethed with hatred for this superflous malcontent, his eyes narrowing as he pulled himself quickly through the alleys of Succubus Avenue. He swung through the air, cartwheeling and pulling himself along with his four paws, waiting for the shark to raise himself from the earth. Clash could swim through any surface and dive deep underground but he still needed to come up for air. Mundus had ordered the shark to die and by god this shark will DIE!
Clash broke from the ground, leaping over piles of rubble as he moved, Skaven lept down, clutching the handles of his Kindjals. The Rat demon's feet clutched the Shark's plate back, and he drew his blades, driving both of them into Clash's body, just under his sharky head. "SKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" "NAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" the two demons screamed as they interlocked, Skaven pulling the blades back and feeling them hook between Clash's ribs. He wrenched his arms up and two the side, pulliing Clash back out of the ground and leaning him to the left, sending him crashing face first into a wall. The wall gave way and sent the two demons sprawling through a building. A succubus was riding a human she had caught, feeding off him the entire time, yet she vanished into the gaping maw of the shark, his bladed teeth and powerful jaws working instinctively. The Succubus was gone almost instantly, leaving small flecks of blood from the instantanious consumption.
Skaven felt himself almost thrown from the shark's body, one of his blades ripping free from the shar's ribs as they plowed through the other side of the building. "AAAAGH!" shards of wood and stone scraped along Skaven's body, he felt himself bucking in pain and dizzy from the impact. He lashed out with his tail and caught onto the side of the buidling, feeling the painful stress almost ripping his tail in half as he wrenched himself and the shark from the ground. In the air he took his free blade and brought it down, slicing along the shark's back, spraying a thick, dark blue blood into the air. As the two hit the dirt Skaven swung his blade down and hacked across the shark demon's eye, blinding him. With one final motion he took both his blades and the bladed hook of his tail, stabbing into the shark's body one last time. He felt the entire body thrash, then rapidly convulse, then go perfectly still.
It was done. "hahh... hahh..." Skaven panted and stared at his prey, still clutching it in his feet, slowly pulling his blades from the bleeding carcass. "Dissentors and Vagrants will die in the name of Mundus!" Skaven's voice was a cruel and rattling growl, he spat on the body of the shark then quickly resheathed his kindjal swords. With the strength only a Rat demon would have, he grabbed the tail of the large and thuroughly dead demonic shark and started to pull, slinging the beast over his shoulder and hauling him down the street, people and demons alike watching with renewed fear.
Refusal to bow to Mundus met with swift and irevokable death.
