Moments Earlier, in orbit above Terra.
As the Kukri of the gale awaited for their opponents to make their move, the Rook class ship named Echo of Peace made it's decent to Terra. The pillars that had been reassigned to the Station were returned, and they followed the Echo of Peace into the upper atmosphere as the twenty kilometer long ship began a controlled fall to the planets surface.
Outside the warp negation fields, what seemed to be an electrical field began distorting time and space. From this field no less than two dozen Knight class ships, and one Bishop class, warped into the theater. The bishop and ten of the knights immediately began making their way to reinforce the station, while they had the opening. The remaining fourteen Knight class ships opened their afterburners and rushed to reinforce the Echo of Peace.
The Bishop sent a transmission to the Kukri of the Gale. "This is Konugr Avurn, residing over the Rose Thicket. We have come as requested, and are at your command, Konugr Dura." A strong voiced man stood in uniform aboard the bridge of the Rose Thicket as he addressed Konugr Dura.
"Fortha Solskain, Konugr Avurn."
"Fortha Solskain."
"The enemy opened rifts of some sort and their vessels passed through them. I believe it to be some form of teleportation, and activated warp negation fields to prevent them from transporting to my side, which is what I believe they intend."
"Then we shall take the opportunity to deploy so when, if, they return, they will find a storm beyond their capacity to weather."
"As you will."
The Rose Thicket continued it's approach, positioning itself above the Command dome of the Kukri of the Gale. Upon arriving it would begin to open up, as though it were a flower. Each of the long 'petals' of the ship opened up further and further, until a massive structure almost like that of a snowflake, hovered above the station. Then from the surface of the opened bishop, billions upon billions more drones swarmed into the air, choking the space with their presence, until all that could be seen from the outset was a cloud that shifted and swarmed, covering the whole of the area closest to the station.

Aboard the Remembrance
With the Sergeant defeated, the Legion Warriors would push to mop up the remaining marines. Even as skilled as they are, several had not survived the encounter. What had begun as a force of twenty had quickly dwindled to a twelve over the course of the fighting. And with fyrnskain Amelia taken out, those dozen no longer had a captain. After they cleaned the marine, assuming they were able, they would set about following the last orders given to them. Three of the warriors took their shields and cast spells over them, before placing them in strategic locations throughout the core room. Then they rallied together, those without shields taking new ones from their fallen brothers, and then they made their way to rendezvous with the team at the bridge. As the living departed the room, the dead departed as well, their bodies igniting into iridescent flames that shifted all along the visible spectrum. The bodies did not appear to burn so much as fade, until there was no trace of their presence at all. But without an soul stone or shard to return to, the energy was trapped aboard the ship, as were the consciousness of those warriors who had perished.
Aboard the bridge the battle continued. Erna was taken by suprise when her attack didn't kill the soldier, but instinct took over and she rolled away from his halberd. She had no idea what that blue energy was, but training had taught her that it was better avoid what you couldn't identify then take the chance. Having moved as quickly as she had her blade had been left behind in the soldiers chest, and without her magic she wasn't exactly able to do much at the moment. The three nearby warriors who had set up their shields were busy dealing with their own opponents, the only spare weapon she had was a small dagger. Nevertheless she drew it and awaited her foe to approach. Morthen at this point became aware of what was happening, and he quickly flipped his gun over his shoulder and would proceed to fire, point blank range, the sunspear weapon at the marine who had come behind him.
Calsai meanwhile used his kick to push himself off of the Marshal, coming to roll back to his feet. He then charged at Renalus, his blade dragging along the ground, parting it as thought it were water. With all his force he would swing an uppercut meant to cut the Marshal in two. The Warrior to challenge the Librarian lifted his shield to block the attack, then recoiled by shoving the shield against the weapon to throw his opponent off balance. The starsteel used to make the equipment of the warriors was enchanted and inscribed with a blanket of magic constructs and wards that were specific to each piece's purpose. For the shield, they were constructs of reinforcement and strengthening, as well as wards against weakness and dismantling. If not for these embedded magical traits, then whatever spell coated the Librarians staff, if it were the same used against Amelia, would have turned the material to liquid. As it stood, the runic sigils glowed along the shields rim, and the starsteel absorbed whatever energy came in contact with it. The warrior in question treated his opponent with no more mercy then they would any other, and proceeded to attack him with relentless strikes.
