Will waited impatiently inside of the drop pod, they were accelerating rapidly and he could already taste the blood shed that was about to happen.
"Ten seconds." Came the voice of the servitor that controlled the drop-pod.
"Be ready brothers! Today we kill Horus and show our worth to the mighty father and the emperor!" Came the voice of the chaplain, letting the members of the death company live in their visions. There was an abrupt *THUD* and the feeling of motion stopped, the drop pod doors opened to reveal the carnage of the forces of chaos, blood was sprayed in all directions from landing on multiple cultists. There were still hordes of survivors though, and they screamed and charged the space marines. In Will's eyes, however, he saw the horrid images of Horus, and as he slew Sanguinis. Will roared out in rage and charged forward. A swarm of cultists charged as well, and he swung his power sword, feeling the electrified blade slash through the bodies of the betrayers, bone breaking and blood spraying, his armor soaked in the gore of the unlucky traitors.
"FOR THE EMPEROR!" He screamed out, he charged what looked to be Horus in his eyes, but was in reality the champion of chaos that was in charge of the massive swarms of cultists. Around him were five chaos marine bodyguards. Will charged forward, firing his bolt pistol, three rounds struck the helmet of the nearest traitor marine, which punctured through and turned his brains into one big mess inside of the helmet. He fired at the next, the pinging off the armor, one shot pierced the leg armor and made the traitor go down to a knee. Will closed the distance and swung his power sword, severing the marine's head. The last three opened fire with their bolters, the shots pinging off Will's armor, he fired his bolt pistol again, gaining another head shot and than followed by a series of clicks, no more ammo. Will threw his sword at the farthest marine, impaling it through the head and charged the last marine. The traitor got one shot off, which, at the close range, punched through the chest plate of his armor, He felt the shrapnel from the explosive round tear into his flesh, but he didn't stop. He swung his hand and backhanded the Bolter, knocking it away. The traitor did a small jump back and drew his sword, he swung and Will deflected the blow with his gauntlet, and swung a hard punch to the marine's abdomen. the powerful blow knocked the breath out of the traitor and Will grabbed the horns of the chaos marine's helmet, ripping it off and than grabbing his head and face. He roared loudly and squeezed hard, the head smashed like a watermelon under his grasp.
Will than turned to face the champion, who chuckled and gave a slight clap. "Oh very good, space marine." The champion said in a low noble voice, "I will keep your head as a trophy to remember just how weak you corpse worshipping fools really are."
"Be silent, traitor! I shall rip you limb by limb for the pain you have dealt to the primarch! You shall NOT reach the Emperor!"
With that he charged. The champion drew his own power sword out and took a defensive stance, as Will charged he made a downward slash, will caught the blade with his armored hand and snarled in defiance. the champion drew his sword back and grinned. Foolish marine, you can't beat me, give up now while you still have a chance, and i'll make sure your death is swift."
Will didn't bother responding, he drew his combat knife and charged once again, parrying a blow from the champion and than an attempted stab, the champion side-stepped and pushed his arm away, spinning Will around. The champion chuckled softly and took a step forward, "You should rejoice, space marine, today is the day that your worship to the false corpse emperor ends."
He gave a snicker but than stopped as there was a loud battle cry from behind him,
"FOR THE EMPEROR!" It yelled, the champion turned just in time to see a death company marine, clad in terminator armor, jumped into the air and smashed a power maul down onto the champion's head, which exploded in a shower of brain and blood and bone. The body went limp and dropped to its knees, and than fell to the ground alltogether.
The terminator roared out in glory and ran off, pummeling down chaos marines and cultists alike. Will looked down at the body, it seemed to change shape until it looked not like horus, but of what it really was, "What? What sorcery is this?!? This is not Horus!" He roared out in rage and ran off into the battle, thinking he'd been tricked and continued carving his way through the ranks of cultists and chaos marines.
