Sundavr

"Space is a curious thing. It's dark but we can see little points of light strewn about it, but why isn't that light just suffusing everything? I'll tell you why, it's because of shadows"

0 · 816 views · located in Terra

a character in “The Multiverse”, originally authored by TheOneWhoSeesAllThings, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Next to nothing is known of these vessels, the stealth ships of Du Istalri Nianya. They cannot be detected by any forms of radar, electromagnetic, photonic, infrared, or even sonar. They are called Shadows, an apt name, as like shadows, they seem to have no substance whatsoever, and yet they can be seen, it is obvious that they are present. Some speculation states they are cloaked by magic, but that is not the case, as antimagic fields do not render them visible to detection. Other explanations state that they are made of dark matter, which is absurd, because dark matter wouldn't be able to hold together enough to be flown in.

Whatever the secret to these ships construction and stealth might be, it is a true marvel and a treasured secret.

So begins...

Sundavr's Story

"Konugr! The pillars have been transferred!"
"Good, rally them into Hive configuration and reinforce the wall."

So it was that the new pillars began deploying hundreds more drones, until the swarm of them all but obscured the station and ships guarding it. Half of those pillars changed into Siege rings, and those that had been in Starfall Configuration also reformed into Siege Rings, ending the suicide assault by the drones. Though the reason for this quickly became apparent.

The missiles fired towards the two ships detonated or were destroyed in the space not fifty meters in front of the two vessels. Once they had, a field of lightning dark violet in color had been created. Maelstrom missiles they had been, creating a warp field through which solid matter could not pass without being ripped asunder at the sub atomic level. A way to dissuade enemies from continuing approach by denying safe passage through large areas of space for either force. What drones had been on their way, the moment they entered the field had been shredded into nothingness.

A similar barrage of missiles were fired at the surviving bombers attempting to breach the wall and assault the station. The missiles would normally, if unmolested, detonate within five meters of the target, generating a fifty meter area of space where physical matter would be vaporized. This would commonly obliterate the target, as well as rendering the area impassable.

Several bombers made a beeline for the enemy fleet, and if left unchallenged they would begin launching their payloads. Manastorm missiles were the primary armanant, explosives that released a heatwave at five million degrees kelvin, melting through most common materials, commonly used to create breaches in the enemies hull or destroy subsystems. These would be focusing on the hanger bays, long range weapons, and engines of the larger ships, and as they were ineffective on shields, the bombers had to get into the furnace itself to light the blaze. The other Armament being used were Eruptor bombs, these were more akin to nuclear payloads, used to outright destroy enemy capital ships with an explosive force equivalent to the super nova detonation of a dwarf star. They had no propulsion system, so the ships launching them had to drive into the enemy before releasing them to be carried through the vacuum of space on their own inertia. They were useless against shields, though they would pass through all non solid state defenses without problem. These were only three in number, and they were loaded on the bombers heading for the largest vessel in the enemy fleet.

The change in firing method used by the enemies fleet, where in they focused their long range weaponry on a single point had managed to break through the barrier and drone wall. But that change in firing method used by the enemy had been registered, and the drones were redeployed to focus defenses on the targeted area. The energy spikes caused by the Nova cannons charging was what Konugr Dura had been waiting on. When it had been detected and the exact location of the source coordinates verified, she had several openings in the drone wall and hardlight shield created. Then the Kukri of the gale fired it's Sunspears specifically at those ships, using the energy readings to determine the exact location of the Nova Cannons.

The Sunspear, a weapon named for it was like a weaponized form of the raw power of the stars. Highly Concentrated solar plasma focused into a beam only five meters in diameter used to cut through the very core of a planet. The weapon had been used to take out key targets in thousands of campaigns over the endless eons that the golden fleet had been in service. Unfortunately the form being used now was significantly undercharged, and would only be strong enough to assure destruction of subsystems on the larger ships being arrayed. Still, Konugr Dura could not allow those weapons to remain functional, not while the Rooks continued to charge their sunspears.

Once the fleet noticed the missiles had created some sort of lightning field, the ships were forced to stop in their tracks and continue their long range bombardment. However, they did not need to keep getting closer, the goals of the ships were much different than getting close to use their broadside firepower however it would have been useful to get close enough to hammer the smaller ships. However what would be noted was the entire fleet charging their engines almost like they were gonna charge through the field. "Warp Drive engines online, preparing jump in 15 seconds."

The Rememberance Of Truth was thankful for the drones stopping their assault

For the ships, the bombers would note that the missiles that had stopped the fleet from advancing were aimed at them. So they were forced to aim some weapon systems at them to take them out before they blocked off to many areas where the enemy can have a better defensive advantage. For the fighters, they would notice the bombers making a bee line for the ships and engaged them hoping to take out as many as they could before they could begin wrecking havoc on the fleet.

While the four Apocalypse-Class Battleships and the Lance Of The Emperor charged their Nova cannon to deliver its payload. They would note the enemy station firing off a beam all of the Battleships using their Nova Cannons. However even with its immense firepower the Void Shielding would easily withstand the attack since the gun itself was protected by the shielding. However once the Nova Cannons would fully charge and if the attack stopped, every ship shut off their Void Shielding and the 5 ships firing off another barrage of their Nova Cannon. All focused on one area. The shell would travel again at light speed with firepower rivalling multiple plasma warheads.

Konugr Dura noted the ceased forward charge of the Remembrance and Astral Halberd, but she frowned. "Warp fields wouldn't be enough to stop you, Marshal... what are you planning."
Her second interrupted her thoughts. "Ma'am, reinforcements are on the way, The rooks have finished charging their attack and are firing now, and also..."

"The Sundavr is in position."

Konugr Dura smiled as she looked at the Remembrance of truth. "Very well, signal them to begin their mission, their target is the commander of that vessel. Now they shall finish what Ayanna started."

As the signal was given, the Remembrance of truth would notice a small frigate sized ship, only about forty meters in length and colored almost completely black, was docked onto the side of their hull. How it had gotten there could not be determined, but the Crew of the Remembrance would only just now notice it, as it had begun boarding operations to their ship. A team of thirty Legion Warriors poured into the ship, alongside three members of Orya Abr Sundavr, and a Fyrnskain. This was the team Konugr Dura had assigned to disabling and destroying the Remembrance of truth.
The Astral Halberd, unless told by the crew aboard the remembrance, would not be aware of the ships presence. It did not appear on any sort of scanner or detection system, and in the electronical sense it simply did not exist. But, like the Shadows from which it's name is derived, it was visible to the naked eye.

--

At the primary battle line, the sunspears had failed to pass through the void shielding, but Konugr Dura kept pace. More arcane circles began forming around the dome, as the sunspears were prepared to fire again. Meanwhile, to stop the Nova blasts, a most curious thing occured. Several of the fighters broke off from dog fighting and flew into the path of the weapons, absorbing copious amounts of the attack. This in combination with the hard light shields and drone wall made the attack ineffective. More and more drones continued to pour out of the pillars, so many that they had begun to detach from the drone wall and began flying manually towards the Astral Halberd and Remembrance of truth. The Drones had a weapon designed specifically for cutting into and disabling weapon systems, and they could fly beneath the standard barriers now that the void shielding had been overloaded. They would do so and attempt to attach to the weapon systems, using their primary weapons to burn and disable them.

The bombers that had begun making a beeline for the enemy vessels were left unguarded, and many were dispatched with ease. One managed to get close enough to release it's Eruptor payload towards one of the larger ships before it was destroyed. The Bomb would fly under it's own inertia towards it's target, and if it managed to get within sixty meters, it would explode with the force of a small scale super nova.

But perhaps of the greatest significance. The nine 20km rook class ships had finished charging their weapons, and as a result nine dwarf stars were fired towards Terras surface, burning a path through the atmosphere as they approached the surface. After having released that attack, three of the rook class ships began descending into the upper atmosphere of the planet, rapidly approaching three different regions of Terra. The remaining five vessels repossitioned around the Kukri of the Gale Station, where they began firing long range laser weapons of their own upon the attacking fleet.

The Rememberance Of Truths crew immediately readied arms to destroy the invaders. "This is Marshal Renalanus, an enemy ship has mangled to sneak near us and has begun boarding operations. Astral Halbard, continue charging warp drives we have to risk this in order to punch through that station!" Renalus shouted as he left the bridge of the ship along with all remaining 99 battle brothers to repel the invaders leaving the ship to be piloted by the servitors. The ships weapons would easily be destroyed by the drones with nothing to stop them. However the weapons were the least of their concern.

For the Astral Halberd, since their Void Shielding was still up since the Remeberance Of Truth was the only one taking all the damage, the drones would simply vanish once they touched the shields. "You hear the Masrhal, keep all weapons shooting those pillars until warp jump is ready. We have to pray to the Emperor that he will be safe..." Carnaelgaar spoke as he continued to watch the battle from the bridge.

For the Imperial fleet, all their void shielding was shut down on purpose. However a rift began forming in front of all their ships including the space marine vessels prepared to jump into these rifts. However the enemy ships could attempt to follow them into the rift but this sort of travel done by unprepared ships would face unimaginable horrors. For the one bomber that a managed to release its payload, the ship it aimed at resisted the explosion like nothing had happened to it, it's void shield easily absorbing the damage done. Once the rifts finished growing each ships would enter these rifts to enter a new realm of terror.

For everyone on the Rememberance Of Truth, they would hear unholy noises coming from outside the ship, for those that looked outside the Windows they would see unholy abominations and demons trying their best to enter the ship. Some roared at them threatening to consume their souls, some were more gentle and subtle trying to tempt both marines and warriors to shut down a machine of the ship known as a Gellar Feild, the only thing preventing everyone on board from getting ripped apart by demons. Some demons were even trying to corrupt their minds, making them want to kill their allies. This experience was normal for the marines. On the Imperial Fleets, they made sure to shut all windows besides the bridge.

Aboard the Kukri of the Gale, Konugr Dura watched as as the entire space marine fleet suddenly passed through strange portals with rapt attention. It took her a moment before she realized what he was doing. "Reconfigure all pillars immediately, I want a warp negation field active this instant!" The pillars resumed their original forms before positioning in various locations around the station and the Rooks. The Rooks themselves took up positions so that every blind spot there was was covered.

Konugr Dura watched the proceedings before saying. "Dismantle the drone wall and reassign for Skull'skolir. Set the remaining drones to swarm assault."
"Yes Konugr"
"Can we reach the boarding team?"
"No Konugr, they appear to have passed outside of this realm for the moment."

Dura bit her lip and made a silent prayer. The prayer wasn't for herself or her troops, at least not specifically. In fact she was praying for the leader of the infiltration team, her daughter Erna.
The drone wall disintegrated as each individual drone began swarming in a cloud surrounding the ships and the station. Several of the drones flew close in and interlocked with each other to forma massive spherical shell over the station, three layers thick. Even with all the drones that that took, there were still enough to create a swarm around the ships and the now shielded station.
The pillars, after reaching their intended positions, opened up entirely into separate peices, connected by lightning arcing through space into an sphere of energy at their center. Several magical circles formed around each pillar, creating a box of runic sigils that glowed with red light. The energy sphere at the center of each of these pulsed, and the space around them sparked and snapped as the warp negation field became active. Portals and doorways could no longer be opened in that space, as the gateways would collapse in upon themselves, and teleportation would go askew sending those using it several nians off their mark. The fear that Dura had was a result of this, as now that they had been taken into an alternate realm, the warriors of Lagion Vercinge would no longer be able to rely on their immortality, as their bodies would burn away but the energy would be unable to find it's way to the Soul Stone aboard any of the ships. They would only have the one life.

--
Minutes Earlier, aboard the Sundavr
Thirty Legion warriors in golden armor, shields slung on their backs each one holding a spear before them with their heads bowed, a more heavily armored fyrnskain with a large and wicked axe, and three Oryan Abr Sundavar knealt in the cargo hold of the light frigate sized ship. One of the Oryans stood and spoke, her name was Erna. "Ten of you are with Calsai, Morthen, and me, the rest follow Fyrnskain Amelia and head down the ship. Cause as much damage as you can and make as much noise as you can, but make sure that at least one of you gets to the core. When you do your going to use Inciting on your shield, with delayed magic. Then make your way to the hanger and form a defensive position. You are to hold until extraction or death. Those of you with us will be heading to the helm. There we will find the commander of this enemy and we will slay him, even if it costs us our lives. Intel has shown us that they use armored suits to heighten their abilities, so do not hold back. They can take it, and the leader can take more. It will take a lot to bring him down but if we do, it will make things much easier for us. Remember the light, and let nothing stand in your way."
"Fortha Aiedail! Fortha Solskain! Fortha Celobra!"

Now.
The squad filed out of the Sundavr through the breach it had made to let them into the Remembrance's hull. However, it could no longer risk detaching and so remained where it, attached to the side of the Remembrance. The warriors noted demons outside, and realized that they must have transitioned out of the normal realm. The warriors helmets protected them from the demons whispers, and the Oryans quickly began casting spells to drive the demons out of their minds. Erna looked around at her forces, noting how the circumstances had changed quickly and her plan was now useless... or was it? She looked to her troops as they watched her, awaiting her command. "You have your orders, carry them out. Don't worry about the hanger anymore, just rendevues with us at the helm after you deal with the core. Move out!" And like that they moved, twenty golden armored legion warriors with shields in hand and weapons in rifle state, and the heavily armored fyrnskain wielding her heavy axe, filed through the corridors on their way to the core of the ship. The remaining ten warriors, along with the three Oryans began their march to where they believed the helm to be. Erna held a long thin blade in hand, Calsai wielded a stout broadsword, and Morthen carted a intricately designed Gatling gun.

It was not clear how long the ships would stay inside this strange realm, they could remain there for a few second, to a few minutes however when the ships would pass through the strange gate, they would all see the walls of the Warp bending and twisting but they did not get forced out. Instead the entire fleet would be scattered upon re-entry and the time it would take to leave the Warp would be ten minutes but for everyone outside it would be a few minutes.

In the Rememberance Of Truth, they had no means of communication with the others, and the ship was also protecting the other ship from demonic insurrection. "I want all battle brothers to stay in groups of twenty. Group alpha will head to the weapon systems, group Beta will head to ensure the Gellar Feild does not break, Group Charlie will make sure the core does not get destroyed, and I group Delta will remain in the bridge and make sure they do not destroy the consoles. If they mess up the ship then we could be placed halfway across the universe...You have your orders, stay vigilant brothers!" With that said the three groups made their way through the narrow and long corridors of the ship, all armed with chainswords or power weapon.

Meanwhile at the bridge, Renalus, the Librarian, the nine Sword Brethran, and ten Initiates stayed behind on the bridge. While they were assess damage reports on the ship, one of the destroyed weapons exploded violently causing the ship to shake and most horribly cause the Gellar Feild protecting them all to begin malfunctioning. "Gellar Feild has sustained critical damage, we can only keep the machine spirit stable for six minutes. Main weapon systems down, we are down to sub weapon systems." One of the Initiates spoke as they assessed the damage. Unknown to them once the field shut down, they would have to last four minutes until they could get out of warp or risk a premature exit and arrive possibly in the middle of a sun. "Empeor help us all..." Renalus prayed as he made sure to close the door to the bridge.

Behind the Rememberance Of Truth, the Astral Halberd watching in horror as they read that the ships Gellar Field was critically damaged. The worst thing that could happen during warp drive, there was no telling what would happen to the crew and ship itself. Everyone on board was in danger, and the worst part was that all they could do was help them with Psycic powers but other than that they were on their own.

For the rest of the Imperial fleet, they would not that they would pass through something that seemed to mess up war trajectories. "Sir, it seems the enemy has done something to disrupt warp jumps. The fleet will be scattered and separated, however it seems we will still be able to continue the plan. Although with that disruption we will be stuck in warp drive for ten minutes. We will re-arm all weapon systems and warn all other ships." One of the crewman of the Lance Of The Emperor spoke. Unlike Renalus and his battle barge, the Imperial Navy could still contact and see each other in this other world.

The shaking of the ship from the weapons explosion was felt even by the team following fyrnskain Amelia, she raised a fist to halt her group and listen to something. A moment later she shook her head and directed her team onward. "These people are brave, foolish but most defenitly brave. They are willing to pass into the void to achieve their goals, risking not only their bodies and minds, but their very souls as well." The heavy armored warrior said aloud, though mostly to herself. One of the fore troops noted that they appeared to be getting closer to the core. "Ready yourselves for combat, brothers and sisters, and keep your heads. We must not die in this plane, lest we be lost forever." She rallied her troops, before leading the charge towards the core.

Meanwhile Erna's team continued to get closer to the bridge, their eyes kept open for any force they might encounter. As they moved, Erna chanted several spells, crafting wards over her forces to grant them a buffer against physical harm of various sorts. The wards acted as magical barriers that protected from whatever they were made to protect from, and they were effective so long as the energy sustaining them held, and they were worded without loopholes or gaps in their protection. Erna was especially adept at wards, and very rarely had any of hers failed or been subverted. She was confident they would be sufficient to protect them as they stormed the helm.

The room of the core was large, the narrow corridors was replaced by a large spacious room filled with a multitude of equipment and most importantly a large open core sparking with life. Once Amelia entered the core, the marine squad Charlie assaulted her squad from the air using Jump-packs. Some were already on the ground when they jumped but others above on catwalks around the core jumped down with melee weapons at the ready. "For the Emperor! And for the Marshal!" The marines let out a battle cry as they soared through the air.

For Erna's team, they would encounter no marines since the other two groups split up to guard areas where they were not planning to attack. Their path was clear until they made it to a door possibly leading to the bridge. Of course the door was sealed shut which was the only thing blocking her team from the bridge.

Amelia, being the large target that she was, no doubt drew the majority of attention from the marines. Her armor was made to absorb significant levels of damage however, and was comprised of layers that would take time to break through for even the strongest of warriors. With this in mind, Amelia called out to her troops in their language "For The Light! To Battle!" before charging into the largest and nearest group of enemies, her massive axe swinging in wide arcs and circles in an endless dance of momentum and carnage.

Her warriors closest to her had brought their shields to bear upon the dropping foes, using them to block the blades meant for their bodies. Those behind them raised their weapons, in rifle state, to fire blasts of concentrated arcane energy at their foes. The arcane energy used by their rifles was of a unique form, in that it's primary element was kinetic. Sheer impact damage from those blasts would be enough to drive back most foes, and the only other element that was part of it's make up was electrical, designed to paralyse those it struck upon the flesh.
Other warriors had their shields and swords readied, and they rushed forward to meet their foes in singular combat. Thus the battle for the core had begun.

At the door to the helm, Erna knelt near the wall and closed her eyes. She sung a short spell of revealing, and when her silver eyes opened they shone with a light that shone through the solid door for her, revealing those within. She verified her targets, then released the spell and stood back. She commanded her troops to take position on other side of the door, five at each side with Calsai on one and herself at the other. She then looked to Morthen, "Breach it." She said, and the larger, thicker bodied warrior carrying the heavy weapon stepped to the door. The Gatling weapon he carried shifted states as he flipped it over his shoulder and aimed the barrel of the rear at the door. The weapon whirred for a few moments as it charged, before firing a scaled down version of the sunspear weapon into the door, melting through the material within seconds. Immediately after it had been melted through, Calsai and Erna both threw a pair of small black orbs into the opening. These orbs would land and roll, and as they did so, magical sigils would light up upon their surface. Six seconds later they would glow white hot and explode, throwing the molten hot shrapnel all about in a thirty foot area, killing everyone within fifteen feet and injuring the rest in range.

The marines in the core were met with the enemy attacks, some in flight were struck by the arcane energy shot at them. They were knocked back before landing on the ground paralyzed, although they would get up rather quickly to charge at the enemy. The marines that managed to make it into the enemy ranks collided with their shields, they would then land squarely on the ground and got into a fighting stance. Some marines targeting Amelia would note that their chain swords had little effect despite their efforts to cut through it. They would then meet a quick death when she would swing their axe in a large circle catching them off guard. Once The marines recognized the threat of the larger soldier, the sergeant of the squad armed with both a power sword and lightning claw attempted land a blow on her armor. The rest of the marines would then focus of the other soldiers and charge at them with relentless and powerful blows.

Meanwhile at the bridge, when the marines hear the sound of the door being melted, they would turn around just in time to see two black orbs land in the room. The Librarian reacted first channeling his psychic might and created a Force Dome, a white transparent sphere which easily protected them for harm, however since he used his powers while in transit through the war more demon swarmed the ship and began to warn more demons that there was a juicy soul on board the ship. Renalus knew this, however the only way to fight this new enemy is to take no chances. The marines Retaliated once the bombs went off and proceeded to use pillars and cover implemented in the ship in case they were boarded. Renalus and the team of Sword Brethren took cover and was willing to assault the enemy once they got into a more favorable position leaving the ten Initiates and Librarian to Participate in the firefight.

The Legion Warriors were adept at close combat before anything else, and in this they were in their element. Their shields were made to take the blows of mighty beasts without buckling, their swords made to cut through armor stronger than that they themselves wore. Despite all of this, the ferocity and strength behind the space marines attacks drove the warriors to fight at a standstill, unable to gain the upper hand, yet also giving no ground. Amelia continued to strike at opponents nearest to her, even going so far as to grab at a marine by his helmeted head swing him into his kin. When the Sergeant engaged her however, all of her attention was focused upon him. Fyrnskain were trained only to attack, and given armor meant to withstand assault as they seldom defended themselves. As such the sergeant would find it easy to land blows upon her person, the difficulty came in that his weapons simply were not strong enough to cut clean through the armor. It wouldn't do to say he did no damage, but rather that it was like chipping at a stone pillar. Given enough time he would topple his foe, but time was not something the sergeant would be permitted.

After the orbs had been thrown, Erna and Calsai fell back to the rear of the line at the wall. The Legion Warriors shifted their shields into the tall tower shields specializing in defense, then they had formed a column and began marching forward through the gap, using their shields to protect themselves and their brothers as they filed onto the bridge. As they all came in they formed an arc in the doorway. Erna and Calsai dove into the opening, tossing another pair of orbs behind the cover closest to the door, before rolling behind the shield wall. Morthen in his heavy assault armor stepped into the doorway, shifting his weapon back into Gatling form. He then began unleashing an unrelenting torrent of energy blasts at any marine foolish enough to poke out from cover. As he fired, heat built up in the barrel of his weapon, charging it's sunspear configuration.

The sergeant would be surprised that his power sword was not doing much damage, however in another second the sword would exude a hazy, blue-coloured field of energy that wrapped around the sword. The next strike he would attempt if it connected, the sword would disrupt the molecular bonds of Amelia's armor, leaving his sword to actually tear through her armor almost like a hot knife through butter. The other marines were now in a standstill with their opponents, the marines that were shot down or knocked down by Amelia, would rejoin the fight to stop the enemy from destroying the core at all costs.

At the bridge, the marines took aim at the advancing column of soldiers, however their bolt round could not break through their armor. Seconds later when another orb landed behind one of the cover two Initiates hid behind, they knew their life and service wereover. They could try to escape to the next cover however the enemy proved themselves to be formidable opponents. The Initiates primed a grenade and tossed it over their cover in the center of the arc of units in front of the door way. they would then rise from their cover and unleashed a final barrage of bolt rounds before the enemy soldiers or the orb claimed their lives. "For the Emperor!" The marines cried out as their final words.

Renalanus clenched his fist once he saw this scene, but he had hoped his brothers sacrifice would not be in vain. If the enemy formation would scatter he would charge the enemy lines with Storm Shield at the ready and his Sword Brethren would teleport in the middle of the enemy ranks and begin cleaving enemy soldiers the second they appeared. If not, they would do the same anyways but with a much greater risk since the enemy formation would not be disrupted. "No pity! No remorse! NO FEAR! For the Emperor!"

As the power sword, enhanced with the disruptor energy, struck her armor it cleaved through with ease, severing straight through to her flesh and drawing blood. Amelia howled in pain, but the sergeant had made a terrible mistake. Fyrnskain are selected for their role for a lack of magical prowess and affinity, and most are incapable of even the most minor forms of magic. They make up for this by being trained in the use of an ancient ability known as the berserker rage. In her pain Amelia gained strength and fury, and she swung her axe with all her might, each swing ripping the very air with it's sheer power. Should any of the marines be unfortunate enough to fall into her reach, her axe would cleave them in twain.
The other soldiers, emboldened by Amelia's battle roar, began to fight with greater ferocity, and the battle would begin to tilt in favor of the Legion Warriors, less something was done soon.

The two orbs that were thrown were like the first, in that a few seconds after they had been thrown they exploded and sprayed white hot molten metal in a 30 foot area. The Grenades that were thrown into the midst of the warriors clattered to a halt before exploding, sending their own shrapnel and force into the warriors backs. Fortunately, Erna's wards absorbed the force and repelled the shrapnel, but their energy was spent, and the wards dispelled by the attack. Knowing now that her soldiers were vunerable, Erna called out orders in her peoples language. Ten warriors total were in the line, three of them pulled back from the arc. These three raised their shields up and, as those shields shifted and changed, slammed them into the ground where they deployed and formed stationary barriers. These self same warriors took their blades and shifted them into rifles, returning fire upon the enemy. Three more warriors pulled back behind the barriers and knelt down, each preparing a spell of some sort.
The remaining four raised their shields and charged forward towards the enemy positions. Calsai joined the charge forward, allowing his armor to take the brunt of whatever attacks the enemy launched at him. Morthen in the mean time flipped his weapon back onto his shoulder, having gathered enough charge for the sunspear to be fired again. He directed this attack at the largest group of enemies there was, and then fired the beam at their cover, which would quickly melt away and leave the enemy exposed.

Erna positioned herself behind Morthen, and prepared a new spell, one she hoped would assure their victory in this battle.

The sergeant would immediately recognize the danger when Amelia suddenly became enraged. He was too slow to dodge the axe however he attempted to block the axe from hitting him, however his blade would be knocked out of his hands and he would lose an arm in the process. The man did not yell in pain, instead he appeared to be the same before the fight started, calm and calculated. The sergeant backed off to avoid the berserkers rampage, and the marine unfortunate enough to pay attention to her were either to slow and were cleaved apart or were dealt with by the Legion soldiers when they had their guard down. Their numbers fell from 20 to ten and only two minutes has passed.

The sergeant, although badly wounded pulled out a Melta Bomb. A small explosive capable of punching holes through tanks. He would ten wait for an opputrunity when Amelia was in mid swing to rush at her, and he would if nothing interrupted him shove the Melta bomb in the area where he had cut her so he could take her out.

At the Bridge, once the Initiates behind the one of the pieces of cover were killed. More initiates, three of them behind cover were targeted by Morthen would relize their cover was melted and scrambled quickly to find cover while trying their best to shoot the enemy. The Sword Brethren would then teleport behind the enemy lines with Power Halberds at the ready, one such Sword Brethren appeared behind Morthen hoping to end him quickly before he could unleash another barrage. Renalus although wary that their formation was not broken, activated his Iron Halo and raised his Storm Shield before charging out of cover to meet the enemy head on to stop Calsai in his tracks while the Initiates and the Librarian would deal with the other four. The Librarian could feel an increase is something in the air, he could sense the enemy was using some sort of magic. He would channel his Psychic might and in doing so caused even more demons to swarm the ship and it soon attracted one of the enemies of the Imperium. he would then cast Dark Excommunication on the enemy ranks and forcibly severed their magical energies but it would only last a minute, a minute that the marines would not waste. However when the Librarian used more of his powers more demons were attracted to the ship, and more powerful demons were attracted and forcing trying in vain to force themselves through the Gellar Field....and something else was attracted, an enemy the Imperium knew well was also attracted.

Amelia rampaged through the enemy's ranks, blood leaking from the gash in her armor on her side. She continued to roar and shout, the force of each swing of her axe enough to cause the air to gust about her. In one swing the sergeant dashed forward and placed a bomb into the crack in her armor, but enraged as she was Amelia did not even notice it, until it had detonated and began melting her cooking her from the inside. Her armor, made of starsteel and able to absorb near limitless amounts of energy was all but unaffected by the bomb. Her body however nearly evaporated as it did its work. She grimaced and continued fighting a few more steps, but very quickly she fell to the ground, defeated. The other soldiers were only driven further into fury by her defeat, as they continued to press their advantage. Two of the warriors shifted their blades into spears and threw them at the sergeant. As they flew through the air the haft of the weapon burned off like a rocket driving the blade towards the sergeant in an attempt to impale him with the blade, the outer layer of which had burned in temperature until the material was in a plasma state. In another moment later that blade would explode, driving lightning hot shrapnel through everything in twenty meters, killing anyone caught in the blast.

On the bridge, a shock went through Erna's body as she was cut off from her magic. The other warriors felt the same effect, and quickly grabbed their spears again. Not a moment too soon, as the sword brothers who teleported behind their barrier line had caught them by surprise, and they were now hard pressed defending themselves. Morthen was busy laying down more fire upon the initiates who had left their destroyed cover, but Erna covered his back. She parried the strike directed for him, then drove her thin yet stout blade clean through the marines chest and into his heart, before removing him from her blade with her boot. Meanwhile Calsai clashed with Renalus and grinned at him. "I heard Ayanna brought you down in less than a minute, I seek to beat that time" He growled at the marshal, spinning to his right and bringing his left foot up and around to kick at his opponents side. The other warriors met their opponents in likewise combat.

The sergeant succeeded in defeating his opponent, however since it took him enough energy just to bring her down he could not avoid the two spears flung at him, he smiled under his helmet and spoke. "Emperor preserve me..." and with those words said he was impaled and his life ended on the spot. For the remaining marines, the sight of their sergeant getting killed after doing such a deed inspired the five remaining marines. The remaining marines continued to fight with all they had, their improved vigor allowed them to slip by some of the warriors and drive their weapons through any weak point their eyes could pick up.

On the Bridge, the Sword Brethren that had been stabed through his heart was still surprisingly standing. Unknown to her space marines did not have one heart but two hearts, even if one fails the other can easily keep a marine alive and on his feet. The marine would then bring down his power halberd this time directed at Erna with more speed and it began to exude a hazy, blue-coloured field of energy that wrapped around the halberd.

Renalus chuckled when Calsai taunted him. "She may have, but just to have you know I could have killed her any time I wanted to. I needed a warm up thats why." He taunted back and as he watched as the man tried to plant a kick to his side, he in return would bring his sword to bear against his leg which was now in the air. For the Initiates, when the enemy closed on them, they switched to close combat knifes and rushed the enemy warriors. The Librarian held his Force Staff which began to exude a hazy, blue-coloured field of energy that wrapped around the point of his staff and brung his staff down on the legion warrior that would challenge him.

In the Mists of the chaos, the Gellar Field would short out for less than a nano second, however that nano second was all one figure needed to appear in the ship. A rift opened up in the ship and a Chaos Lord warped inside the Gellar Field room armed with lighting claws and exuded an aura of death and bloodlust. [color=red][font=myriad]"Hello..."Brothers"..." The man spoke with malice in his voice. "Heretic! Warn the Marshal! He must---" Before the marine could finsih the Chaos Lord close in and buried his claws inside the marines chest before ripping him apart in two.

"Marshal! A Chaos Lord Appeared in the Gellar room! Be wa---" A marine speaking through the bridges communications system tried to warn them but before he could finish all they could hear was gurgling blood.

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.

The remaining marines, despite how skilled they were were no mach for the enemy numbers. Even when their bodies were peiced for slashed they would try one last assault before falling down as lifeless corpses. The core room was now left unguarded, and the warrior would easily proceed to complete their mission.

Aboard the ship, the Sword Brethran would have followed Erna if it went for the sound of a weapon aimed at him. It was point blank range, there no way the marine could dodge the attack with his body but the man seemed to forget one important thing. And that was the marines teleportation. The marine vanished like a bolt of lightning, only to reappear behind the side of Morthen with his halberd glowing and already in mid-swing.

Renalus heard the bone chilling communications his fellow brother had tried to give him, however the enemy seemed to ignore the threat. Of course, they never faced them before. However his thoughts focused on the opponent in front of him when he would attempt to cleave him with an uppercut, however he would then counter this poweful move with a shield bash with his Storm Shield to counter this attack. The Shield began to glow blue just like their weapons.

For the Librarian, he was knocked off balance but recovered easily. However the warrior in front of him would take this opportunity to attack with relentless strikes. The Librarian knew he could use only two more spells before the one after the two would attract demon threats which would be the end for them and their small crew, so with one spell he would destroy this warrior and continue his brutal assault. He would channel the Might of the Ancients, his eye lens would then glow a bright white and his body would emit a white aura. The man would throw one punch at the side of the mans shield, his power suddenly felt inhuman, if the warrior could hold onto his shield he would surely feel the bones in his arm shatter into pieces, however he would not unleash just one punch, he would unleash a flurry of inhumanly strong punches capable of shattering his armor or at the very least cause the force behind the punches to break the mans bones.

Meanwhile in the Gellar Field room, the 20 marines sent to guard it were reduced to two, one sergeant and one marine. "Whats wrong Brothers!? To weak to beat me!? I shall show you the true power of the dark gods compared to your corpse on a throne!" The Chaos Lord spoke and his words angered the marine. "Die heretic!" The marine charged with with his chainsword revved and ready, the sergeant tried to stop him but it was far to late. The moment the marine stepped forward the Chaos Lord would appear right in front of him and separate his head from his body with as much effort to break a twig. The sergeant armed with his power sword got ready for the monsters assault, however the Chaos Lord would vanish in a plume of red smoke and re-appear behind him along with a flurry of stabs from his lightning claws sending blood and armor pieces flying everywhere like he did to the other 19 marines. "Pathetic...I hardly need any help if this is what these pathetic weaklings can offer up. The Marshal of the ship must be on the bridge...and that Librarian as well...I will see to it that their skulls get added to my collection." The figure spoke as he put his hand on the device for the Gellar Field and strengthened it to ensure nothing interrupted his blood lust.

The twelve remaining warriors who had been sent to the core room would arrive on the bridge at that point. Every one of them charging forward with a battle cry. "Fortha Solskain!" They roared as they surged into the room and began to reinforce their besieged brothers and sisters. Morthen however required no help, as when the marine teleported he had caught the movement out of the corner of his eye and he dropped backwards onto his back and aimed the weapon at the sword brother before firing into the enemy's torso.

The sudden force the librarian brought to bear caught the warrior completely unprepared, and he was battered and broken before being thrown against the far wall. When he landed his body imediatly ignited and began to burn away in iridescent chromatic flames.

Calsai responded to the shield bash with a sidestepping pirrouet that would bring the blade down on his enemies neck if not countered. Erna looked around and saw the librarian, and realized that he had been the one responsible for the magical disconnection. She took her weapon and cautiously approached him, before suddenly dropping to her knees grasping at her skull.
Screams and howling winds overtook her mind, as she clawed at her head, trying desperately to keep the voices out. During the fighting her hood had fallen off of her head and as the wards protecting her mind were tied into it, the demons outside were no longer being blocked.
But even more debilitating to her was the screaming of her fallen brothers and sisters, who's souls were suffering at the presence of the Chaos Lord. The Twisted aberation's mere existence tormented their disembodied consciousnesses, and they called out to her for someone to save them. Her screams tore through the whole of the bridge as the battle continued around her.

Once enemy reinforcements arrived, one of the Initiates began to vox the group at the weapon systems. "The bridge is becoming overwhelmed! We requite immediate aid! Hurry brothers and avoid the heretic that wanders the ship!" The marine called out into his vox before returning to the fight. For the Sword Brethren, he would feel air passing through his torso as the beam burned through his armor. The marine fell down, life fading from his body and his soul was now in the hands of the Chaos Lord instead of the Emperors side.

For the Librarian, as he finished off the legion warrior he would hear a shreik of pain. He turned to face the source and saw one of the enemy soldier gripping her skull. It appeared her magical defenses were broken and the voices were entering her head, a pityful sight but he had no pity to spare. Instead of finishing her off he ignored her before rushing to the aid of the Initiates and Sword Brethren who were now outnumbered by the enemy reinforcements.

Renalus watched as his shield bash was dodged, he would also see a blade aiming for his neck. Thinking quickly, he would abandon his shield and attempt to forcibly grab Calsai 's hand before his blade impacted his neck. He would also lean as far back as he could in case he could not stop the blade.

For the Chaos Lord, he began to laugh maniacally as he heard a faint screaming. He would also continue to laugh as the souls of those that were killed were now circling around him both Space Marines and Legion soldiers. "Yes! Plea and pray all you want! No one is going to save you, relish in your eternal suffering as your souls shall serve me for eternity!" The monster spoke as gathered the souls together and began to devour them, causing their life to forever be chained to the Chaos Lord will. He would then grow slightly stronger and as he was now a yard away from the bridge, he could see the Legion warriors and the Space marines fighting. A smile formed under his helmet, he relished the opportunity to spill blood and sacrifice his enemies. These victims would become a plaything for the dark gods.
