{picture is a work in progress] update they gave been added.
One unbreakable shield against the coming darkness, one last blade, forged in defiance of fate, let them be my legacy to the galaxy I conquered and my final gift to the species I failed.
→Excerpt by The Emperor himself←
The night was cold as it rained… The few guards on the walls and towers stood in that shivering cold, as they looked out at the forest moving! The ground shook as it had never before. Scared, the men shot out red flares into those dark woods, up into the clouds, and the bright neon light shone on a horde of teeth!
Creatures of nightmare, bugs of all kinds, in numbers beyond imagining,... the dense trees didn't stop them, the mud-den floor didn't slow them down, the haze of bullets didn't discourage them, As with one mind, they single-mindedly charged ahead through blood and dead, crawling over their corpses without care… to reach the wall!
Men screamed over the heavy gunfire, over cannon shots and explosions, but even the steep incline cliff couldn't prevent what was to come! For when the men felt safe and secure behind their walls, the ground in the forest, the mud… began to rise! As the tree bent and fell, the earth burst forth Tyranid Gargoyles!
Like a swarm of bees, they slammed their bodies against the guns! Breaking them, and drenching the walls in Gargoyle blood! Without the cover of the guns, the men stood no chance as the gargoyles picked them off one by one! Screaming and dangling in the air, as they were mutilated, the surviving men on the ground huddled by the mansion entrance as they heard a terrible thump noise!
The ground vibrated with each thump, with each step… and with a horrid roar, the men watched as the main gate failed! A gate made of pure plasteel and Ceramite! Bent and cracked, it below in several shards as a giant Tyrannofex shot at it with his rupture cannon!
With the gate destruction, the Tyranids forces swarmed in unabated! Following another roar! But as they neared the men at the mansion door, through their last stand, the door suddenly burst open by a spear! Killing a dozen Tyranid gnats, as it pierced through their heads and chest!
Confused, the guardsmen looked back to the broken wooden doorway, to a strange demon bravely striving through! With a dominating aura that matched his looks… his bare chest, soaked in rain and glistened while his feathered ornament danced to their sway in the winds… while the lightning flashed through the red light, Shalaxi the Hellbane, charged with his ferocity and shield to recover his spear! The bugs couldn't stop him, his quickness as a demon was too great!
Even his bare fist was more than enough to kill common gnats of the Tyranids! While behind him rush an army of demons! And through sounds of thunder, explosion, screaming men, and dying roars… came a sweet tune! For as the sounds of battle and nature mixed to become a beautiful symphony… a tapestry of wonder… they came…
With boisterous music, all the glass-stained windows and the artwork within the mansion… shattered! And while the pain bringers stood watched over the portal… and when the bugs rushed the mansion shattered windows…. Out from the sounds… the vibration of the portal spun… as the Tyranids gnats suddenly froze in places, with their teeth and claws bearing but not moving an inch as the guardsmen were at their mercy…
It was then as the guards looked up, to see an army of gargoyles... Suddenly fall! From the sky like snowflakes… impaling themselves on Gothic aesthetics, while others notice blood oozing from their ears! With their deaths, the portal spun another sound, so loud, that the common gnats closest to the portal exploded where they stood!
Covered in their blood, the governor felt stunned, as he was knocked onto the floor by another sound blast! There, on the floor of his mighty chamber, he realized what it was that made the sound as he stared into the portal. Watching it vibrate and hum, he felt awestruck and fell to his knees as rhythmic beats hailed their coming! In purple and pink, to acoustic praising his GOD! His angels…. The mighty NOISE MARINES!
The remnants of an old warband… the Sirens of Agony! Their banners and symbolic tattoos could leave no doubt! Once loyal children of a distant past, now, they storm, blind in every sense but one… hearing! Lost to that excess, they march side by side, with another old warband…one thought lost, slain to the last man by Khorne believers… The flickering blades! Led by Volupus himself!
Watching a living relic, a man who by all rights should be dead… Charge head first with his warband, with swords that sing praise to Slaanesh! Cutting down the Tyranids, their armor that was of living flesh and mouths, dinned in flesh blood for the first time in centuries! While the Sirens of Agony played their horrid music, with all kinds of sonic weapons!
From sonic blasters, down to sonic shriekers! And with them… they tore through the Tyranids' lines like butter! Blood rained from everywhere! To the skies above to the lowest of grounds! Even the corpses were not spared! As they exploded to the songs of Slaanesh!
The music tore their ears, while the sonic waves burst their blood from every orifice! Their brains oozed through their eyes, while others had their bodies completely turned to dust! Horrid pain could be felt to the pleasure of the Noise marines and demons present!
The Tyrannofex could feel his blood leaving him, through the inter-connection of his skin, deaf, with flesh falling away, but still standing… with a mighty roar through a crushed throat, with blood pouring out his tongue, where blindness soon followed… he still stood… shooting his cannon…
As walls broke, and men screamed to busted eardrums, the Trannofex gave his last! In a frenzy, as Volupus rushed beneath his cannon to cut through its living sack! Through the fresh cut and straight from his innards, bloated ticks poured from his wounds! Falling out from their home, the tick exploded at his feet!
As they filled the earth with their oil, Hellbane seized his opportunity! With a smile as wicked as his chest, he grabbed hold of his spear, and as it reflected his smile back at him, he threw it with everything he had! Flying through the air unopposed, through the wind and rain… the spears hit right through the Trannofex's freshly made wound! Stabbing and dislodging seed pods within!
As they fell and mixed with the oil, the chemical balance was completed! Engulfed in the flames that could melt tanks, the Trannofex screamed out fire mixed with blood, as his cannon arms exploded! Falling on its side, the creature slowly burned alive, as the Noise Marines and demons walked past not bothering to end its life, as they enjoyed dying cries!
As the Tyranids retreated into their holes, the sky above the mansion screamed and burned! While the demons and Noise marines looked up to see the scorching flames as they tore through the night's rain! By Thunder-hawks and Storm-Ravens in the colors of the blood angels, they rained missiles and hellfire!
Demons and noise marines died together as the bullets replaced the rain… Volupus watching the scene scoffed as he entrenched his men within the pockets of the mansion's inner walls, while Hellbane did much the same… while they waited out the rain, the blood angel came about for another pass, as the governor, rushed to the demon statue, to the portal itself and reported:
[my mistress! The servants of that false god have come!]
And to the end of his words, the mansion shook as walls that made up her foundation blew! Cracks and explosions caused by continuous bombardments! The ceiling crumbled by the second, as the governor stared into the portal on his knees!
[..]
But he received no reply, only in the motion of the statue and the pain bringers, as they carried the portal to the underground hangar bay! Confused, he followed closely even as the statue gave an evil grin.
Blood Angels short POV:
[Sir Gabriel! Our archenemy has infiltrated this world… should we not purge it?]
[no! We cannot… at least not yet…Dante has ordered us strictly against doing so…]
[but why sir? This world isn't of great importance, I mean sure it's close to the eye of Terra but for such an undeveloped world, I don't see what the imperium has to lose by purging it of this taint!]
[silence brother, do not speak ill of our sworn brother's intentions, that we do not understand… Yes, I too hate our archenemy and would love nothing more than to purge them, but for now, we must wait…] replied Gabriel to a brother, as he watched on the monitors, the archenemy fighting off the Tyranids!
[so... It would seem my hunch was right… this world's governing factions have all turned to our archenemy!]
With that thought and watching the fighting unfold, and his archenemy victory close at hand, Gabriel gave out a new order:
[Send in a regiment of thunder-hawks and Strom-ravens! We may not be able to purge this taint from orbit, but we can at least expunge it with fire and lead!]
Bounty Hunters short POV:
Smoke and sirens, fire and death, the trapped tunnels rick of it! At least Nova thought so, as she smelled the burned flesh from dogs and bugs… As she looked out to see collapsed walls and broken ceilings… to see the fire light hidden deep within the rock that crushed the dead… blood poured for a victory lost!
Though unconcerned with her failure, at least for now, Nova screamed through the smoke for her allies, for any still alive in a tunnel of death… And through the smoke, she heard the sound of someone coughing, and so, with deeper looks into the smoke… As it parted just a little… A figure of a person walked through… with a hairstyle straight from earth's past… And with its jingle, Nova knew instantly who it was and screamed:
[Kora!]
[yeah, yeah… I'm alive! Hehehe… Anyway, that was fun! Can we do it again? The walls! They went boom!] replied Kora with a smile.
[what? No… anyway have you seen Wrynes?] replied Nova shaking her head at Kora's antics.
[hmm… no…oh! Maybe he died!] replied Kora with an innocent head tilt.
[I'm not deadssss you crazy bitch!] said Wrynes suddenly out of nowhere to the surprise of both girls.
[oh! shit! You are alive….tsk] replied Kora under her breath.
[didsss you just…]
[Enough! The both of you! Just thank Slaanesh we're alive after that! Now let's hurry back to the hawk before!]
[BOOM!]
[sigh, now what's happening up there!] said Nova as she and her team tried to rebalance themselves.
[hmm… That explosion… and the noise of the whistles… coming through the pipes… yes, thunder-hawksss!] replied Wrynes suddenly as he spat blood from his mouth.
Looking at him strangely, Wrynes returns their looks with a confused gesture of his own, when Nova replies:
[It's nothing… Wrynes.. It's just I expected Kora to be… you know what... Never mind, let's just get out of here!]
[but waitsss!]
[what now Wrynes?]
[The dogs! We can't leave themss!]
Hearing Wrynes plea, Nova gave an annoyed look at Kora for a moment before saying:
[Wrynes… they're dead… there's nothing we can do for them now!]
Watching Wrynes's ears lower, Nova sighed, as she put a hand on his shoulder and continued:
[look, how this, when we get back to the hive, we'll find you a new pack of…" used dogs" hows that…]
[sniff… fine but they better all be femalesss….sniff]
[yes, yes…] replied Nova and Kora rolling her eyes at her champion's strange fetish.
With a ceiling shaking and collapsing, and pipe bursting, with oil mixing with leaking waters, the trio made their way back to their ship… ignoring any friendlies… trapped or otherwise, begging for help or for mercy! With a perverted expression, the trio only delighted in their fellow's agony!
And so, as they turned the corner, to face their ship, what stood in front of them, was crushed remains of another bounty hunter ship! Dozen of them! In every corner were smashed beneath rock and rumble, but theirs!
[by Slaanesh! it'sss a miracle!]
[No... Wrynes it's no miracle… I fear this is only the start of our punishment…] replied Nova as she heard the doors open!
Warriors she had never seen but endowed with colors and symbols of Slaanesh, Nova knew they were 'friendly' but still chose to remain silent until spoken to… A silence that was only broken by the sound of clinging metal, coupled with the heavy footsteps a beauty of a statue that came into view!
With eyes that spoke volumes, Nova bowed and said not a word, and neither did her companions, as they followed her example and dared not speak a word! As the statue stood over them like a shadow… then... They heard it... In the back... Crawling on the floor, a creature that sounded in pure pleasure! With mouths that spoke of his achievements… of his narcissism! While others sang about his greed and his hunger!
Made in the image of both man and her, with breasts of both, with genitals of both, in voices... Of Both! A monstrosity… an abomination! A creature who Nova, believed to belong to the warp! Only to be sickened as she notices the governor's elderly face! Screaming in the pleasuring moans as both man and her! Through bleeding sores! Through several black eyes that judged others! With serpent tongues and crab claws, that crawled like a spider! While through his chains, that moved as if alive, with flesh parts, sang of his failures, pulled with them the portal!
With no words… while shaking feverishly… Nova turned to look at Wrynes, who understood her intent instantly! Wrynes rushed to the door and opened the ship loading bay, without question! He dare not even look the statue in the eye nor the abomination or even the portal! He simply bowed… even as the underground shook, and the explosion above multiplied, his poker expression did not change…
It was only after the bay doors closed, did the trio dared take a breath! And as they stood looking at each other eyes, did they realize that they barely escaped judgment… or at the very least it was postponed…
[Nova are we to…]
[yes, Kora… we are abandoning the mansion… but as to were I don't…]
[ Absodon! Head to Absodon!] screamed a voice inside Nova's head.
