Part 8: Showtime
"Allies can take any form however remember this my kin: a suspicious mind is a healthy mind,"
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Frost huffed under his mask as he stood firm with his arms crossed in front of the stage while his employer performed behind him. Music was mostly forbidden in the imperium save for the prayer hymns and choirs of the emperor, and for good reason. However, the warbeast has heard some old Terrian music from his travels, hells, his brother RM-3666 or Ram had some old music that he 'acquired' after a raid on a black market.
He kind of like it, the music Verosika sang was not to his taste but it was enjoyable even though it was a bit... lewd.
"VEROSIKA I LOVE YOU!" Snapping out of his thoughts Frost watched a very 'excited' fan push through the crowd shirtless running to the stage. "MARRY ME!!!"
That was stopped when Frost lightly sidestepped in front of the imp, the imp stopped in his tracks at the sight of the fully armed and armored canine humanoid.
Shaking his head the imp recoiled and shivered before turning to walk away, however the moment Frost turned his head the imp tried to run past him. But Frost threw out his arm causing the Imp to clothesline himself into the warbeast. Groaning the super fan looked up holding his bleeding nose to see Frost crouch down next to the Imp.
"You seem like a smart kid... go home before you break anything else," Grabbing the Imp by the horn he 'helped' get the Imp to his hooves before throwing the red skin forward.
Watching the imp walk with his tail between his legs, Frost returned to his 'post' but something caught his eye flashes...
Flashes...
They almost looked like...
(A very long time ago)
"GET DOWN!"
Frost knocked down his brother as a brief beam of bright light nearly ripped the warbeast's head off. Their bodies hit the ground while Fennec took aim and returned fire with his long-las counter sniping the tau sniper. Ram roared in pain holding the side of his head while it leaked blood onto the rogue dirt below.
"Fraking hell! Vex! Get over here and help me!" Frost barked while Coal stood alongside Fennec however the much larger warbeast stood out that the cover they had almost wasn't enough.
Yet that plasma gun he held wasn't going to make the tau's cannon fodder any easier to gain on their possession.
"Frost, Medicae!" Vex threw a canister of the healing liquid while Frost readied it to spray on the wounded face of his vat brother.
However, the warbeast pushed Frost back and snatched the Medicae pack from him.
"Get off me! I'm fine! I can do it myself I'm not some toothless pup brother!" Ram growled holding the canister to his face as he sprayed.
Frost had seen many wounds in his lifetime however seeing his brother's exposed bone on his face made the warbeast want to hurl his rations. Roaring out in pain once again this time from the spray Ram huffed a few breathes before looking up at Frost who was stunned by the action of his kin.
"What are you doing brother? Get your kraking ass up!" Frost only smiled at Ram, even after losing part of his face he was still barking commands.
"Think you can still fight?" Frost asked grabbing his hellgun.
"I still got two of my hands don't I? Stop gawing at me and let's kill those damned blue-brained xenos!" Lifting himself back up to his legs without taking Frost's helping hand, Ram raised his shotgun while Fennec huffed.
"Good to see that Ram. But less talking and more moving! Our brothers wouldn't wait for us nor will that titan," Fennec ordered, to which the two nodded and got back up. "Coal... train time,"
Coal smiled, he put down his plasma gun to hang right next to his flamer on his pack while he reached down ripping a piece of metal off a tau vehicle as he gave a joyous warcry.
"PAIN TRAIN!!!"
This caused the others to join in behind the mobile cover while the tau defensive forces opened fire upon them. However their small arms couldn't do much against the fallen armor of their vehicle, so the warbeast squad quickly advanced on the loading dock that led into the tau spire tower.
Vex held both a slug pistol in one hand and his volcano pistol in the other firing a superheated shot of liquid metal at a tau fire warrior and the melting power at a tau drone trying to generate a shield. Getting closer, Ram lept over the shoulders of Coal and into the cover line of a squad of tau defending forces.
"THIS IS FOR MY FACE YOU FRAKING FISH FACE FREAKS!" Ram howled blasting the face off of one with his shotgun while slamming the butt of his gun into another. Taking two more down with quick well-placed shots of speeding metal, he raised his chain axe and slammed into the exposed face of the tau that he knocked down.
Letting it's teeth rip through Ram let his weapon roar with a smile and turned around with a howl at a troop of shocked tau fire warriors.
"FOR THE EMPEROR!!!"
(Present day)
Frost's attention was brought to the pair of pink arms around his neck followed by more flashing lights.
"Thank you all lovely bitches for coming! I hoped you'll have a great fucking time!" Verosika shouted while gently tugging on Frost's neck.
The crowd roared at her comment while she leaned into Frost's earpiece.
"You alright there Frosty? You look like you zoned out there," Frost didn't turn to her, his eyes glued on the crowd for any more ballsy super fans.
"Yes, ma'am forgive me. I was... lost in thought," Frost explained.
"About what?" Verosika asked waving to the crowd.
"Nothing immanently important," Frost explained while Verosika frowned at that.
"Something wrong Frosty?"
"No ma'am..."
The succubus tapped the side of his gas mask while her pink eyes stared into the lenses of his helm.
"You sure? I hate to have my favorite hellhound all tensed up," Verosika hummed a tune. "How about you let me help you... relax~"
Frost's face began to heat up at her words.
"I-"
"Verosika! Verosika!" The sudden appearance of the Paparazzi all firing away with flash after flash to the point it was almost like staring directly into a star.
The succubus smiled and posed for the cameras while still holding Frost, however, the warbeast was quick to move stepping up with a hand out to stop the constant flashes. Even with his mask's lenses, he was having a hard time seeing the area unable to see any potential attacks.
If someone were to jump his employer he would been able to stop them from getting past him.
"That's enough!" Frost barked at them however they ignored him, still flashing the cameras. "I. SAID. ENOUGH!"
The flashing cameras stopped upon seeing him take a step forward with a hand on his sidearm, Verosika grabbed Frost's shoulder at his approach.
"Hey~ Frosty calm down they just want a couple of pictures," Frost turned his head to his employer.
Giving a huff under his mask he took a step back but the paparazzi kept still for a moment until the flashes returned all be it much slower. Nevertheless, Frost returned to standing his ground ready to pounce on any that tried to get past him.
-Later-
*click click*
Striking the lighter a third time caused it to light up and allow the warbeast to burn the tip of his lho-stick. Taking a breath with his mask down, Frost could hear the rain bounce on his helmet while he smoked. Even though the rain was coming down quite heavily the warbeast could easily make out the high-heel clicks of his employer walking up next to him.
"You know those are bad for you sweetie," Verosika commented causing Frost to chuckle slightly.
"And so are firefights but I know these would shoot me," Frost commented taking another drag while he put his lighter away, Verosika held out her umbrella trying to get open however it wasn't letting up.
This caused Frost to hold out his hand so that the succubus could hand him the umbrella in which he carefully opened it although he almost ripped it from the force of him shaking it.
Such fragile little thing in his armor hands.
Lifting it above the pink-skinned hellborn, Verosika smiled at Frost's gesture.
"A bodyguard and a gentleman... my my I got lucky by hiring you," Verosika smiled holding her fur coat.
Frost smirked in return, however his attention was grabbed by a red limo rolling over to them and stopping.
"This the guy?" Frost asked to which Verosika sighed with a nod.
"It is,"
Since Frost's employment in Veroiska's service she had been trying to get Frost a 'human design' however the patron of her events mammon has been neglectful to say the least in providing a design. So she had turned to a contact of hers that could get her into contact with another sin that could provide Frost with a human design.
However this contact from what he has been told, is a bit of a handful.
Throwing his lho-stick away Frost put his mask back on, if what Verosika told him about this 'overlord' was true. This mutant had the psychic ability to manipulate smoke in such a way that could be use to 'influence' one's mind.
He wasn't taking any chances with this one.
Watching the window roll down a smiling face greeted them with a set of heart-shaped glasses.
"Verosika! Baby!"
"Hey Val," Verosika waved half-heartedly.
"Come on get in let's talk," Valentino offered as the door opened.
"Frost is coming with me. I hope that's alright," Valentino turned to look at Frost who was eyeing the moth creature.
The moth mutant laughed and nodded.
"Of course let's make it a seven-some! Who else is better at doggustyle than a hellhound!" Valentino joked causing Frost to roll his eyes while getting in the limo.
The door shutting behind him, he followed his boss to the other side of Valentino who was accompanied by a four-armed mutant with mismatching eyes. While on the otherside sat two 'demons' that were... occupied at the moment.
Frost didn't like this guy already, he reminded him of a plantery governor that sold his soul to Slaanesh and tried to open a portal to the warp. That was until inquisitor Alexis had his entire palace burned to the ground, whipped and flogged for two days, had his spoiled corrupted children turned into servitors, and bound him into a penance engine to have him gifted to the sisters.
Honestly, he was thinking of something similar to this guy judging by the fear in the mutant sitting by the moth creature.
"Sooooo... you are cashing in that favor huh?" Valentino asked Verosika nodded. "Well Verosika baby~ it's a pretty big ask for such a small favor. I know I said before that I could get you connected with queenie but sadly my IOU to wouldn't cover the cost for this,"
Verosika huffed.
"Val we had a deal,"
Valentino took a breathe and exhaled.
"I know we did baby! And I'll get back to you on that I swear. However, this is a big ask for me... that favor wouldn't cover it fully! That is unless we can work something out," Red smoke fill the space. "Perhaps we can shoot another 'special' movie? The last one almost rivaled Angel's biggest hit... ain't that right Angie?"
Val tug on Angel's cheek like a parent would do with a child, this caused the mutant to look away in fear making the warbeast feel sorry for the welp. However, he was more focused on this arrangement and held back his tongue so that his employer could work out this arrangement.
"Why can't I just pay you for this?" Verosika signed annoyed with Valentino trying to worm his way into profiting off her.
"Because it's not always about the money sweetie~" Valentino smiled.
"And if I say no?"
"Deals off... but I'll still keep that IOU as uncashed so there's that," Valentino's eyes then wandered to Frost who felt a chill go down his spine. "Or we can have your hellhound here star in one of my films. This is for him after all if I'm not mistaken,"
Both Verosika and Frost shifted at that while Val studied Frost.
"Good bone structure, physically fit, and quite handsome from the photos you posted of him. Bitches will pay top dollar for a video of hellhound like him," Valentino offered.
Yet they couldn't respond to his offer as he gave a third offer.
"That is unless you are willing to do a job for me completely SFW... well mostly nothing naughty mind you more like guns blazing. More risk involved but something more your speed puppy after what happened in that warehouse job you did for Crimson," Valentino pointed out while taking a drag of his cigar.
"So those are my offers... what will it be? Videos or violence?"
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Alright, so Frost has a choice to pick which is no no-brainer, but he could always pick the easy way out.
