NItro Oni lose their leader Optan and the gang learns valuable lessons of close combat

Story by Minbo:

"How the fuck did you let this happen?" spat Raryn, "I was gone for one fight and you let Optan get captured."

Hegon grimaced and the rest of the Nitro Oni stayed silent.

Regha took this moment to stumble in the gang's hangout. "Why the glum faces?"

"Wipe that smile off your face," Hegon turned his anger on his fellow lieutenant. "Optan knew your arse would be useless that is why he sent the House reinforcement with you, leaving us shorthanded."

"Uncle was always too noble for his good."

"You went down pretty fast to Botgrinder's Arc Hammer," sneered Raryn.

"Like you fared much better," smirked Regha. Raryn jumped at Regha and punched him in the face. Since that fight the grizzled veteran ganger easily lost his cool.

"I'll get my revenge sooner or later." Regha said confidently.

"The Badland's Bandito is no more," commented Waduy. "He was cut in half by Succentor Jairus's eviscerator. His arc hammer will find no more victims. The Eschatine Promethian Choir are no joke."

At this moment two oversized monstrous spiders scuttled into the room and one went left and onto the wall and the looped right and clambered onto the room, hanging upside down. One look at the horrifying meld of machine and spider made Jaewe the juve retch. It was had imagining charging into battle against such creatures.

"My aunt sends these as gifts," noted Regha. "They will assist us in rescuing Uncle. I don't like him but I don't leave family behind."

Regha said as he twirled his new power knife and cybertechnica "The Mayor won't know what hit him!"

The rest of the Nitro Oni laughed.

Story by Julian:

Optan awoke suddenly.

The last thing he remembered was going out in a blaze of glory. He thought it was all over for him. If only he'd been so lucky.

Instead the Van Saar now found himself suspended in a black box, with only his head sticking out. For a long time there was silence, then a squeaking sound. Squeek squark squeek squark The man's large shoes made odd noises as he approached. "Wohoi! What have we got here?"

A rotund man in giant shoes stood accross from Optan, his face painted white, bizarre orange hair sticking from his head in random tuffts. A large round orb glued to his nose. "Who are you?! Release me at once!"

"I'm Honker! Release you? Wohoi! Afraid i can't do that, old man. We need you for the SHOW! Allow me to introduce my lovely. Assistants, Bing and Bong." Two identical twin sisters stepped out of the shadows. Their face were also painted white. One wore a red, checked dress. The other an identical black version of the same dress. Both were grinning in a very concerning way, both were holding pliers.

"What are you talking about you circus FREAK? What show?!" Honker laughed without smiling. Then there was silence. Then he farted. "The show where we cut you in half and put you back together again, Bozo!" Another Clown stepped into the room. This one was holding a chainsaw. He began revving it menacingly.

The twins screeched with delight. "Lord Byron's Gunna love this! The ratings will be through the roof! Wahoiyoiyoiyoi!"

Neither Optan, nor his tormentors noticed the mechanical spider perched silently in the darkest corner of the cell. Broadcasting the whole spectacle back to the Nitro Oni headquarters. Tomorrow they would bust Uncle Optan out.

Minbo's Comment: Or die trying, which is often the case in Necromunda.
