Chapter III: Destruction and Mayhem
Part III: The Feeding

The crack of a Warplock pistol rang through the stale air in the Undercity of Marienburg. The two gates on either side of a decrepit arena were opened, and a beast and Giant Rat charged out of each, straight at eachother. Ikkilit smiled from his perch high above, listening to the thoughts of his commanders below. They had positioned themselves in the sewers below the arenas in which the Marienburg RatFest was taking place, and were waiting for the signal.

His signal.

Ikkilit looked down at the match going on below with interest. It was between two of the Underempire's most fearsome Moulders - Rawhol the Rattingale and Ratticq of Clan Gnawkin. Their rats were also impressive - Rawhol's was a Giant Rat with two Ogre arms tipped with saws, while Ratticq's Speedy Squeak appeared fairly normal - but was very fast.

Ikkilit sighed. He would have liked to see the conclusion of the match - but he had more important things to do. He pulled out the Master Control from the folds of his blue robe, and looked at it. It pulsed with a faint light. Ikkilit smiled and pointed it at the first of his bombs. If he set this bomb off, the rest would soon follow.

He pressed the button, and Chaos followed. Explosions ripped apart the wooden stands, sending burning audiencerats flying through the air. The ripples of similar explosions shook the earth, and Ikkilit smiled. As he watched, countless blue-cloaked Skaven swarmed from beneath the blazing arena onto the pitch, attacking the surviving audiencerats and Moulders in a frenzy of destruction. The Moulder rallied together and tried to make a stand, but were routed within seconds, many of them hacked down by Ikkilit's army. The Tzeentchian smiled again. In an hour's time, there would be no trace of the attacking rats. Looking down at the Master Control, Ikkilit saw it glow ever brighter with every rat slain on the field below. Ikkilit chuckled to himself and turned away from the carnage. The feeding had begun.
