General 13-7's Story

"There is no honor is endangering the innocent in this city. At best you are barbarians that require purging. Your non-combatants shall live, but die well hostiles..." Renalanus called out as he closed the distance, Shield out in front he would go in with a slash as surprising speeds for his massive figure.

As the enemy had gained ground and began to use the buildings as defensive positions, unfortanantly for them not only did they have ordinance to blast the buildings sky high, they had other means to dislodge their location. "Detonate explosives! Send those bastards to the warp!" An Imperial Guardsman shouted and with an activated switch the building the enemy began to use suddenly exploded into fire and rubble, which in return raining on the enemy attackers.

Of course as the TLA began to lend their aid, it was well appriciated. They have their differences but at this moment they had the same goal, defend Terra from hostiles.

In orbit, as the ships began to recive Kinara's soldiers. A single enemy ship warped in behind the fleet. Of course it made a lot of noise but even then their systems picked it up. They would have to turn around to fire but at that time whatever it was priming would hit them. "Engage short ranged warp!" The Fleet Admiral called out as the Imperial Fleet suddenly vanished...only to appear around the lone enemy ship with all weapons aimed at it. The enemy ship looked tough, however this would its end.

"Commence boarding action! All ships open fire! Bring down their shields!" With his order all 75 ships began to blast the lone ship with all of their firepower. As soon as their shields would fail for just the briefest second, suddenly teams of both Imperial Stormtroopers, Space Marines and Kinara's clone troopers began to suddenly appear in the enemy ship
and began to eliminate all personal in weapon bays, engine bays, shield bays, hangers, and even the bridge. All the while the ships outside began to continue to pound it. The soldiers inside of course could easily be warped back out before they met the same fate of the crew. Regardless, it was a tactical error to send a single ship no matter how strong it was. An easy target for four different fleets.

"Captain Asher, we are glad to have your assistance. As to you TLA members. Let us finish off the enemy before more collateral damage ensures."

The destroyer had taken a lot of damage to the point where it may blow at any point but it had one more suprise. Knight tripods, like in 'war of the worlds starts' to drop. The beasts were controlled manuely and where nearly a 70 ft tall. They shoot particle beams that incinerates any target. As the last of the 50 tripods drop the, knight fleet sucesfully fled and the Destroyer sent a emp to hopefully jam the warps and starts a manuel detanation

Back in the ground the Grand knight looked at the marshel as if he where stupid "were not barbarians, we just follow the law of our king" The grand knight looks up and laughes " OH LOOK AT THEM NOW! OUR LATEST ANTI-PERSONEL INVENTION! THE TRIPOD! Want to know somthing? They deflect all rockets and have a very stong sheild on them." he laughes and tell his men to step back.

Teddy looked at the monstrous mechanical beasts in awe. If only Pogo-Man were here, these things would be a true test of his giant-killing skill. But he wasn't here, Teddy was going to have to figure out how to take these things down himself alongside his other allies. This was no small order, definitely.

He begun to scan the Tri-Pod, hoping to find some sort of weakness he could exploit. These things had legs, he already gave these invading forces F's in invasion and reconnaissance, and now he gave them another failing grade in weapons design. No military designer gives vehicles legs for very good reason. If he could find a way to destroy just one of the legs on that thing, then it would be crippled. He just needed someway to bring down those shields and find something that made a big enough boom.

He ducks down as the vehicles began firing their weapons. Hot, super-heated beams of plasma, a great anti-infantry weapon, but it would be slow on a vehicle, and dismally poor against aircraft as it was obviously a line of sight weapon.

But he remembered something, these guys called him out by his first name. Did they know him somehow? He looks up and calls out at the giant. "Hey, big ugly," he shouted, "Teddy Ursa is right here!"

A tripod and a group of knights stop fire and looks at Teddy in silence and radeos base HQ. As that it happening Teddy sees a vehicle rame into a tripod leg, tearing it off. The man celibrated... but he did so to soon. The leg slitherd back onto the tripod and stomps on the man in the vehicle, crushing him flat. The tripod then marches forward.

High above the skies of Wing City, there was a distortion, which erupted into a brilliant shimmering window that a ship burst fourth from.

A deafening crack, and a rumble of thunder followed, but the ship, which was sleek and angular in appearance, painted a shimmering white with blue hues, the AXIS's Galaxy Police emblem painted prominently upon the hull.

Starships, alien and Imperial, dotted the wide-band scanners of the GxP-342 police cruiser, the near-collision with one of the towering tripods caused Haruko to jerk the control stick to one side, and quickly work the yaw pedals at her feet.

Protesting in the form of a groan, the Seina banked hard, narrowly missing one of the massive tripods, groaning as the G's pulled against her body, Haruko banked hard to the left, and circled wide around the city.

"What is going on..."

Bringing the cruiser to a steady flight path, she keyed up all of the vessels in the city, analyzing them and comparing them with known records.

"I'm here for an investigation, not to fight a war." Haruko muttered, flipping on the shields and arming the weapon systems of the Seina.

Armored panels retracted, exposing automated gun batteries, while a milky-white nano-screen formed along the hull of the ship. She would have to land the ship outside the city.

The tripods begin to look at the ship thinking it may be hostile, but was dismissed as a civilian. The tripods began to gane much ground and looked in the trenches and began fireing at them. The grand knight hops into his personal tripod and went forward leaving the marshal to be dealt with by the other tripods. The grand tripod leads the march as it mows through enemy resistance, untill they met the first major stronghold were the enemy marines will mostlikely stand for a while. The knights begin to march through the streets making sure no civilian is harmed.

"Damn, hostiles are bringing in their armor...I feel bad for those sorry bastards..." An Imperial spotted spoke as he began to call down a concentrated artillery barrage of one of the tri-pods in turn grinding it into metal scrap. "Well...Bring in 4'th and 17'th company. Let them mop up this mess..."

The Marshal simply chuckled. What? Was he supposed to be scared by some machines? Pathetic..."Pathetic...You think you scare us with those machines?...I seen worse coming from a single machine...But if you feel confident if your machines then by all means let me watch as we crush whatever resistance you have left..." The Space Marine suddenly charged forward and slammed his Storm Shield into the man, the shield suddenly released a force of energy as it did causing the man to fly backwards. Even if he did block it the force no doubt would have caused him to still fly back.

With the massive towering Tri-pods, Imperial Guardsman scattered to cover as they were smart to avoid the anti-infantry walker. Ebba in particular scattered with the many other people as the machines fired at squads of soldiers, either incinerating the men or the ground they were once on after diving for cover. Of course, she could do some things to defend herself. Surrounding herself with a cold wing she sent a blast of ice which made a perfect screen to hide herself and soldiers as they got to cover. Although the Imperium heavily despised many mages...she did just help their chances at living so they would not argue with that.

Of course with its massive size, came the larger hitbox...perfect for the armor companies that just rolled in. The 4'th and 17'th Imperial armor companies, With two squads of 6 Lemen Russ Vanquisher's each. These Anti-tank, tanks rolled up and aimed up at the walkers. "Show them some true Imperial Steel men!" The commander of this company on tanks was commanded by a Shadowsword. Armed with the deadly Volcano Cannon the tank turned off is main engines and after a few seconds of preparing the massive energy cannon fired impacting a Tri-pod. It was instantly turned to molten slag along with a few Tri-pods near it. With the sounds of cheering from Imperial forces the tanks began to Open fire with their Vanquisher cannons slamming into these Terror drones with disciplined fire. Focusing each one down one volley at a time.

The Space Marine Marshal simply shook his head. [b]"And there goes the last of your forces being blown apart one after the other. Did you even account for armored support and artillery? Fools...I'll finish you off in the name of the Emperor. You are no warrior, just a pathetic invader like the rest. There was no honor on your side, no glory on your side either. You were just another warmongering barbarian! I see no warrior before me! I see a failure who clings onto failures! Come at me and face your death coward! No Mercy! No Respite!"

In Orbit as the Imperial Feet finished up with the so called 'Destroyer' the ship let out one final struggle. An Emp to disable their warp drive engines. Figures they would try to take them all with them. Of course teliporters were offline however powerful Librarian onboard ships began to bring back the allied soldiers on the ship as the Imperial Navy simply held their ground. "All ships! Engage maximum Void Shield output! Shut down all non-essential systems and brace for impact!" The FLeet Admiral called out his order as the fleet braced for the explosion.

The remaining tripods shut off and men came out, so did the soldiers, they were surrounded. It was over. The grand knight droped his weopen and shield and stoped. Even he knew they had lost, that his great kingdom had done this on purpose. They weren't comin back for any off them.

On the ground

Irral was not impressed with the seventy foot tall mechs that were dropping down from the sky, nor was he impressed by the enemy's Champion hopping onto one. Stopping mere feet away from the Space Marine Marshal. "You talk too much. It is time to act." he growled before leaping into the air, spinning as he flew upwards at least one hundred feet, and then froze in mid air, four great wings bursting from his back and flapping to keep him in the air.

The Dragon activated his Phoenix Cloak, his twelve-foot tall, armored form bursting into gold and purple flames before he dove down towards the Tripod the Champion of these invaders stood upon, aiming to slam all the way through it, his fire catching and beginning to spread. Once there, it would begin to slowly melt the materials that made up the Walker from the inside out. Flapping his wings once more, Irral flew back up, aiming to take out the legs of the walker with one fell swing of his Lance, the blade whistling through the air as it moved towards its target.

Above the Planet.



"Welcome to the Grey Battalion, Assertor, jump in at these coordinates." Kinara responded, transmitting coordinates that would place the Super Star Destroyer underneath Galaxy-Destroyer cruiser that had appeared behind her fleet.



"Unleash your fury, Assertor. All Batteries open fire." Kinara ordered. And open fire they did. Five-Hundred batteries, each Battery containing Five Super Heavy Turbo-Laser Turrets, began to unleash hell upon the largest enemy ship that they'd come out of hyperspace underneath. The Twenty-Two Kilometer behemoth almost seemed to glimmer with beauty as all of those Turbo-Lasers opened fire at once, a massive, unending volley of fire coming from them as they would first chew through the shields of the ship, and blast through the armor without a care in the world. The rest of Kinara's Fleet would even out the strength of their shields and continue to fire on the rest of the enemy fleet, turning what weapons they could to likewise face the threat above Terra.

The Mauhasinan fleet turned to aid the Imperium against the destroyer " Launch Sunburst Torpedoes!" Ordered Nephthys.
The ships fired the torpedoes flying towards the destroyer seek out places in the ship's hull to break though and then blow causing massive damage to the ship's​ insides should it get though.
The Mauhasinan ships had their light shields ready for the blast that would come.

Meanwhile on the ground the TLA helped to mop up the enemy gunships taking aim at the tripods as ground troopers fired rockets and other arms at the tripods.
Mauhasinan ground forces had also joined the fray thier black armor and personal shields rendering enemy fire almost useless as beams of light energy blasted from their guns ending enemies left and right.

"Sir! All hostiles are surrendering. Orders?" An Impeiral Guardsman voxed Imperial Command. "Round all enemy survivors. Feel free to render judgment as you see fit."

With the order, Imperial Guardsman began to round up all remaining enemy knights and began to group them all together. In Orbit the Fleet Admiral shook his head. "That takes care of that then...all forces remain on guard but today the victory is all of ours."

All at once, everything surrendered. And all at once, Irral left the city once more, vanishing in a surge of Light. Kinara recalled her troops and brought her fleet back into a defensive formation as usual, with the Assertor jumping away to a near-by star system, so that it could be used to surprise any other would-be invaders later.

All returned mostly to normal.

Seeing the knight-like soldiers, and even a Tri-Pod, bow before him perplexed him. Confused wasn't even beginning to describe what was going through his head, it was a vast understatement. But the explosions of the Armor company and the beams of the Tri-Pods' incinerator cannons forced him to duck down.

At this point, he was completely helpless, pinned. All he could do was wait.

After several antagonizing minutes, it was over. He saw the enemies finally surrendering. He began to climb up from the entrenchments alongside the Space Marines he had accidentally entrenched with.

If they recognized him, he found it better to seek forgiveness than to be brutally slaughtered right there. He turns to look at a nearby Space Marine and look him in the glowing eyes of his visor's helmet. Reluctantly, he gathered his voice, "You and the Imperium are going to arrest me," he begun, "Aren't you?"

One of the Space Marined turned to face Teddy. "Its not our job to arrest our foes, criminals or our enemies. We leave that to the Imperial Guardsman. We execute the enemies on man. Have you decided to report your sin to us? Whatever it is either we will take care of it or the nearest Imperial Guardsman will do it...So what do you have to say?..." The massive armored figure spoke as he looked down at Teddy.

Teddy looked down briefly, before looking back up at the Space Marine, "I believe I killed someone in your ranks, I'm not really certain," Teddy testified, "Imperial Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine, I really couldn't tell back then and now. I thought of telling you and the Space Marines first to... let me be real, hoping you and the others aren't holding a grudge against me. I was defending myself, I'll say that now, but I really don't have any way to prove it. If you're looking for a name of who I killed, maybe you're familiar with one, 'Amadeus Threnex?'"

"An Amadeus Threnex...Brother Amadeus Threnex served with the Sixth Company, he was reported missing for years. He used to be a Blood Raven under Captain Carnaeleggar command. Last report of Brother Amadeus Threnex was said he had heard voices in his head...If thats the case then you are no criminal. You have herby gave a warrior his death before the powers of Chaos could claim him. He has died in the Emperors service still even as he was shattered and broken mentally. A man who has nothing can still have faith...We have nothing more to discuss, you have no crimes against the Imperium. Carry on." The Space Marine turned around and began to walk off to head for one of the Thunderhawk transports that had landed to gather the remaining space marines and used drop pods that could be recovered, repaired and re-used.

"I do have more business, but it's with the Guard," Teddy said as the Marine had begun walking to the transport, "I have to give them back their gun. It really was an honor fighting alongside you, I really hope we can do it again. My name's Theodore by the way, I feel that even the Emperor's Finest my need help from me. I'm sorry if I am coming off as arrogant, but if the Imperium ever needs me, I'm never more than a call away."

Teddy had turned, admittedly thinking that the giant soldier wasn't listening to him, he just had to get those words out. He then begins to search for the same officer that had given him the weapon. It took a lot of searching, but after a lot of looking and walking, he found what he thought to be that same officer. "Hey," he called out, "Sir, I believe I have to turn in my weapon right here?"

As he had begun to speak to him, Teddy had begun hoping if Ebba was all right. He thought that after he turned in his las-gun, then he'll try to look for her.

The Imperial Officer was busy giving his orders to his men to begin cleaning up the place and rebuild. That was until he hear Teddy call out to him. "Oh, I was about to look for you Volenteer. But I guess you beat me there." The man spoke as he took back the las-gun. "The Imperial Guard is always welcoming more soldiers to join its ranks. We are always fighting against whatever the universe throws at humanity, another soldier means another person to continue the fight. So how about it? Care to become part of the guard?" The man asked.

A chance to join the Guard, for most warriors like Teddy, this would be an ample opportunity to exercise his skill. He thought about, but he had remembered the commitment he had made to Ebba, how could he train her social skills if he was assigned off world? He dwelt upon this for a moment.

"I am afraid I cannot be a regular member," He begun to reply, looking at the officer, "But I will come to the Guard's aid if they see it fit. Although I am a soldier like you at heart, I can't be a full-time guard, I have too many commitments to keep, even if the exact number of them aren't that impressive. But I am in need of a source of income to keep doing what I do. I'm actually a mercenary, but not the kind seen in movies to line their pockets via dubious or outright criminal acts, rather, I keep my contract open to those who seek to use my skills for good. No crime lord, corrupt politician, or unlawful business exec ever hires me, the only people who takes my contract are police departments, benevolent governments, and whoever seeks to build society, not destroy it."

He maintained a steady glare as he spoke, looking into the officer's eyes as he finished, "I am Theodore Ursa, it may not be your decision, but I am never more than a call away."

"I see...Well we shall see you again one day Theodore. Its a shame you cant join the Guard fully but if you are going to fight for the Guard when needed then thats fine enough. Then I guess I won't take up any more of your time then. We have a section of the city to rebuild. Nothing too severe thank the Emperor..." The Imperial Officer sighed and he nodded at Teddy and began to walk off to join the other Imperial Guardsman all working together to clean up the rubble and ferry away the injured of the battle. There were very few casualties, of course they did not account the wounded who took hits from enemy energy weapons. Of course their flak armor although not as great as many armors, it did provide rather decent defense against more standard weaponry such as minor energy weapons or small arms.

Vehicles also helped out, clearing away the ruins of buildings with dozer blades and ferrying the wounded and rubble out of the area.
