The pipes stopped, and all that could be heard across the field was the sound of boots as they hit the ground. The cheers and battle cies of men and alien alike

so primitive and glorious. Solkan's men rose fom the tunnels and charged down after their paragons and leaders the Sons of Steel. Solkan himself had drawn his axe and

ran with the rest of his men. All across the valley the sound of pipes played, but the musicians were all dead. Then the two sides met, and hell was not the word.

TGN saw ludd charge and quickly ran at the commisar." i commend you cadet for your bravery. if you had not been corrupted you could have been great even as great as yarrick or gaunt but you were so you must die " and with that he began to jab and parry with his sword fighting ludd to the finish. He admired the commisars skill as a swordsman.

ooc: i am a knornate legion on its way the planet in order to kill slaanesh followers

IC: A lone battle barge emerged from warp space the ship was badly damaged it had just been overtaken by the blood champions a war-band dedicated to the blood god
A bloodied figure strode impatiently around the control room his terminator Armour bloodied from the battle that took this ship the armor bore many scars of battle,bullet holes,sears,burns & a mark of khorne but the power armor still operated at acceptable efficiency despite its extremely rugged appearance
Craxas was his name a true follower of khorne mindless in battle he kills his allies as much as he kills enemies he also had a habit of being way over equiped he been called a viscous hoarder due the fact that he brutally slaughters anyone trying to take his loot he wielded a unque chain-axe dubbed the "disembowler" and a stolen master crafted bolter that he ripped from the could dead hands of the captain of this ship.

Craxas finally left the room and made his way to the armory where over 300 chaos marines were looting the bodies of fallen loyalists & then ejecting them.
There was another figure clad in chaos terminator a relatively calm person for a khorne worshiper Craxas believed he was a worshiper of chaos undivided or something.

"Craxas...... i thought i told to stay in the control room........why are you here?" Craxas spat in his helmet "I cannot wait any longer i must spill blood!!!!!!! i grow tired of this.....this.....WAITING!!!" Craxas roared
"You know very well that we are heading to a planet with possible slaanesh worshippers i cannot risk you going into a blood rage so soon there will be more loot & slaughter than you can possibly imagine....now sleep" Craxas started to feel disey & then a moment later collapsed on the ground snoring like a baby

Mkay,i have the 457'th chatachan and hive fleet Pelvicthrust

The battle was going on all around Ludd, however from his perspective, there was nothing around him, he was so focussed on the elegant strokes that TGN was attacking him with and more importantly, his parrying of said strokes. Ludd was resigned to it, there wasn't any way out of this unless a miracle happened at some point in the next 5 minutes.
(OOC- Help me Maverick!)

Captain coc0 was also in a chair on the far left of the room, next to a human nobleman. He stood up and lept with his jump pack towards Maverick.

"You'll have to get through me first heretic!" Coc0 shouted mere moments before impact.

OOC - I'm kinda busy here. About to engage in an epic duel with Maverick you know. So ludd, could you order someone to send scorpionoy one of your copies of the codex dictionatus? His grammar sucks TBH.

As coc0 hit the ground the marble cracked below his feet and maverick was thrown back like a ragdoll. After a few seconds maverick got up again. There they stood, looking eachother in the eye. Suddenly they both charged shouting their own battlecries.

One of the humans beholding this from his seat said to the person next to him: ""10 bucks on maverick."

Sadly what he said would be true. As they were about to make contact maverick phased out (OOC - Yes, as of now maverick. You can phase in and out of the webway like a warp spider.). Coc0 was dazzled and looked around. Maverick then reappeared behind him and put the phase sword in coc0's stomach.

The commander fell to his knees. his eyes turning back. And as he fell to the ground he said: "By the emperor's toilet paper. I have failed."

There the captain lay, broken.

(OOC - Don't get me wrong guys, i'm not dead. Just not going to be here for a few days. Once i'm back i'll just wake up in some medical wing, as always.)

Another grammar nazi! I completely agree though.

OOC- I am sending the heathen a Codex dictionaius now.
for any one else by the way...http://www.amazon.co.uk/English-Grammar-Dummies-Lesley-Ward/dp/0470057521

There was fightign all aroudn grambo......no body could decide what pie they wanted!It pissed him off so much that he killed everyone with his pinkey.

Soon TGN's efforts began to show. small cuts and slashes were appearing all over ludds arms. soon his enemy would tire and then he would strike. He knew the enemy artillery in the area had been silenced he knew the enemy command base was in ruins he knew he would win.

OOC- Oh goodie, I have been waiting for a chance to do this for sooo long.
Ludd knew when he was beat, the final sweeping attack from TGN's powersword knocking the sabre out of Ludd's hand. Ludd rolled his shoulders and looked TGN in the eye.
"When darkness falls, the shadows will rise."
TGN gave Ludd an odd look, his head cocked to one side. He shrugged and raised his power sword about to bring it down in a fell swoop, it never reached Ludd's neck. The armed vortex grenade in Ludd's greatcoat had exploded, sucking both of them in...
(OOC- So then TGN, you and me have been sucked through the vortex, who knows where we will end up, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the same place... Just to clarify, neither you or me are dead.)

(very nice comeback but if it is in the same place i will cut off your head )

(tut tut tut TGN, you can't kill me without my consent...)

TGN awoke. He was in the middle of a field of vibrant red flowers. he smelt the bitter sweet scent of Frenzon a combat drug. ''there's only one planet in this sector that a vortex grenade could have transported me to that produces Frenzon. Caligula IV'' He thought to himself. By his compass reading he was on the western continent. ''I'm sure the main city is close to here'' whispered his armors machine spirit (it is a great piece of the most technological armor possessed by the Inquisition he is a lord after all ). So drawing up a map of Caligula IV he set off for its capital.

Craxas groaned as his vision returned to him, the calm terminator lord known as Moros turned around to see Craxas awakening from his slumber & smiled under his helmet.
Craxas noted that he was still in the armory of the ship, some of his war-band having donned loyalist power armor for some unknown purpose. Moros strode towards his fellow chaos lord "ah...finally you are awake Craxas i was beginning to wonder if i should kill you and take what we came for myself...but i still need your help in getting there."

"Watch your tongue around or i will tear it out and why is my war-band donning loyalist power armor!!?" Craxas Spat "Ah but this is all part of my plan you see...you don't expect to make planet fall without being shredded to ribbons by loyalists or to be raped by those slaanesh worshiping dogs do you?...of course not that is why we will pose as a loyalist chapter...do some.....errands for the loyalists...and then when the opportunity reveals itself we will take what we came for and slaughter as much slaaneshe dogs as we can when we get out of here." Craxas eye was twitching for he could not believe what he heard "Are you f*cking serious!? there is no way you going to use my war-band to sneak on the planet!!" Craxas spat.

"Oh but i can and i will...i could easily tear you limb from limb...but i am being generous here you make planet fall...follow my instructions you will achieve a virtually...immortal status" Moros smiled
Craxas looked at him with curiosity "what do you mean?" "As we discussed before you will get alot of loot some of that loot are ancient chaos artifacts capable of granting immortality at a small price of the death of 5 billion people"

ooc: to be continued

Lord Maverick ducked Coc0's leap. Drawing his sword, he thrust it clean through the power cables connecting the pack to Coc0's power supply. The pack fizzled out, and coc0 hit the floor with a thump, rolling over the edge. His weapons rolled off the platform, and he was left, barely holding onto the platform.

Maverick walked calmly over.

"I'd leave you to die, but I am not that man."

Grambo an his men were slashing the the jungles,they came apoun a squad of anti pelvic fources,we pelvic thrusted them to death and moved on with our mission.....

ooc -doesn't that count as rape in at least 10 countries?

OOC- OK you guys, I'm off on holiday tommorrow, so will be out of action for a week. sorry.

OOC- I have been planning this for so long...
IC- All around Ludd was darkness and silence. He did not know how long he spent there but there was a feeling of a malignant presence in the looming void. Soon, sporadic flashes of dim red light began to show in the dark. Suddenly Ludd felt pain like he had never experienced, even on the battlefield, it felt like a drill was boring into his skull. Then, as the red flashes became vaguely aware of huge towers of bronze fixed into cold damp walls, the red lightning was flashing between the towers and Ludd found himself suspended in the air between these huge constructs...
Over time, the pain in Ludd's head dulled, however the lightning which had become a lot more frequent over time began to hit Ludd himself. Rather than the pain and shock he had expected, the lightning felt energizing and powerful in Ludd's veins. Then, the lightning stopped and everything fell dark, then Ludd fell into a stupor, not to awake for a good long time.
(OOC- Time for psyker Ludd. )

TGN finially reached hive primus on three days after he arrived on Caligula IV he immediately demanded to see the Governor and Requisitioned a battle ship and its crew and immediately set off for the warzone but on his way there he felt strange psychic readings coming from a planet, a forge world and changed course to go there instead.

(( I appear to have some angry men after me ))

Coc0 slowly woke up.....

His eyes were still closed, but he could hear silent voices in the distance. He tried to move his left arm, but it was restrained: it wouldn't respond.

Then he opened his eyes. He could see vaguely in front of him. Everything was covered in a red glow and there were gauges At the edges of what he saw. Suddenly the voices became much clearer. A techmarine's voice said this:

"Hearing systems online. The commander should now be able to hear us. Life support is fully online. Captain coc0, can your hear us?"

(OOC - As ludd's becoming a psyker i think i might change a bit too. Time for dreadnought coc0!)

Lord Maverick stood on the platform.

"Commissar, You have seen that I am a reasonable man. I allowed your medicae personnel to take commander coc0 away, and I personally pulled him up from the drop."

Then he turned to the council.

"I cannot let you ordain what you seek from Shas'O Vera. Not for my faith, not for my personal desires, but for the safety of the world at large. The Thrusting Power he wields is wielded carefully, and it is balanced carefully, like a knifeblade. Were you to... upset that balance, the consequences would be so phenomenally astronomical, that your own tiny minds cannot ever possibly comprehend the sheer levels of devastation it would unleash. And much as I'd love to see you all destroyed, as a member of the thruster army, my humanity and conscience prevents me from doing so."

Vera looked at him.

"Well done, Warmaster. A lovely speech. Now, how about you GET ME OUT OF THIS FETHING MESS!"

Moros found himself silent for a minute then continued "Now where was i....ah your gift Craxas" Craxas lifted an eyebrow "Gift what Gift!?" Moros smirked under his helm "I present to you your very own loyalist terminator armour.....thats right you'll be going planet side while i monitor thing up here it should be a simple task for your caliber.....and if you decide to be difficult well.....you cannot i have branded your skin with a rune while you were asleep....now you will don the armour....now."
Craxas could not control himself as he shed his chaos armour and donned the loyalist terminator armour "what have you done to me!?" Craxas roared as the armour interfaced with him filling his helmet with vital data & status of his well being.
"I have done nothing" Moros Chuckled "You still have most of your freedoms it would be shame to change that, now follow me"

Craxas & Moros as well as most of the war-band made their way to the hanger bay where a few undamaged drop pods & thunder-hawks ships still remained "Now Craxas before you go you must be made aware of a few things i have added to your armour...First & foremost i have added a few wards against nurgle i don't want you dying so soon...secondly i added sound dampeners so even the most noisiest slaneeshe marine will sound like a whisper in the dark...thirdly & most importanly i added millions of terabytes of random access codes,key-codes,passwords ,decryption codes into your hud you will need these codes for there will be many obstacles...do not fail me. now into the thunder-hawk you go for now you'll be going planet-side." Craxas watched as his war-band stated to shuffle in to the thunder-hawks & drop pods though there slightly more advanced than before the imperiums equipment was still pretty much the same. "Bye bye Craxas when you get to planet-side i'll contact via hehehahahahahahaha!.....ehem via comlink." Craxas watched as the door closed the thunder-hawk prepared for takeoff

OOC: To be continued

The oldest council member turned and looked at Maverick and grinned a most menacing grin,"Too late boy". The council began chanting an odd chant. Growing louder and louder, Vera became trapped in a bright blue vortex with wind swirling him around slowly. "YOU BASTARDS!" Maverick shouted as he rushed to save his lord. The Guards of the Citadel rushed to stop him from attacking the council members.
"Council! What is this? You never told me you would do this!" Nikev shouted as the Chanting grew louder and louder. "Silence you fool!" one of the members shouted pointing a crippling finger in his direction. The life was literally being sucked from the bodies of the council members and their already old skin was beginning to age and slowly started to fall off their bones. Vera was being raised into closer and closer to the ceiling and began shrieking in pain, his body clearly being mutilated and his limbs horrifically growing larger.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?" Nikev shouted to the council trying to get a grasp on the situation. "We are summoning our true lord!" one of the members shouted "The true Raging Pelvic Lord HARDIFEROUS!"
Stunned, Nikev could do nothing but watch in horror as this new threat was summoned into reality. He lept up from his seat, "THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN!" he shouted as he rused toward the council members, unsheathing his powersword.

Nikev and Maverick were slashing the guards when their swords collided. Glaring at each other, the guards backed off. Great rage comming over both the commanders from old hatreds they began to duel. Parries, Feints, and lots of dirty moves, the battle raged as neither commander could lay a blow on each other. With a great swing, they locked blades. "Wait a second" Maverick said, panting from the duel. "Dammit, I already know what your going to say and yes, a temporary truce". With the quick truce, the duo set to hacking through the guards to the council members.

"IT IS DONE!" The Ethreal shouted. Vera was near the ceiling now, his body had been horribly mutilated. Bursting in an explosion of blood and gore, Vera was no more. In his place, the massive body of the Ragin Pelvic Lord Hardiferous rose, his body growing to the ceiling. "WE SERVE YOU MY LORD" The dying council members all said. With a musing smile, Hardiferous smashed them under his foot. Shocking everyone.

"HOLY -"
"gak!" Maverick and Nikev said together. Running for the door, they pushed past the guards who were now fighting each other, some of them not being immediately mind controlled by the Lord. As the duo ran through the corridors the building was shaking from the massive battle that raged all around. Nikev piped his Micro "ALL UNITS! ALL UNITS! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! NOW NOW! I'LL HIJACK A NEARBY VEHICLE AND RENDEZVOUS!"
"So Maverick" nikev said as they ran, "why didn't you fall to your knees and worship the thrusting god?" "I'm no fool, if he killed the council members who freed him, then he'll without a doubt kill me."

The two commanders said nothing the rest of the way out, having to stop and kill a few guards who had lost their minds. Arriving at the main doors, they had been blown wide open. All around, people were fighting, The Pelvic Lords influence was incredibly strong and had taken over half the planet.

"Well," said Nikev turning to look at Marverick while they caught their breath "What now?"


(OOC: ALL FEAR THE GREAT LORD HARDIFEROUS xD ...just so everyone knows.....his forces are different from the Thruster forces. But your characters do not know this. so don't try to make it like that until they are attacked.)

Lord Maverick turned to Nikev.

"Commissar, I have a twin-seater fighter plane, on docking pad six. This way."

The pair ran across the tarmac parking bay, and slid through the gap of two steel doors on the far side. Inside, was the entrance hallway Maverick had entered first. Maverick turned right, and ran through a doorway, right out to his waiting ship.

"Commissar, back seat. Helmet's under the seat, air pipe is on the right."

He threw himself onto the wing of the aircraft, rolling over the wing, as he stood up quickly, and dove into the cockpit, fastening himself in, and starting the engines before he had shut the canopy, or put his mask on. Nikev ducked the gout of flame from the startup, and clambered into the rear seat.

"Warmaster, I hope you know what you're doing..."

"So do I!", Maverick shouted back. That was the first time Nikev had referenced him by title since they had arrived on this world.

Slamming the canopy shut as the fighter began to turn around, the warmaster tightened his mask up.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be..." was the dry reply.

Maverick hit the thrust as far forward as it would go. The thunderbolt leapt into the sky, and into orbit. The city below was in chaos.

"Since you ask, Commissar, my loyalty was to the man who wielded the pelvic power. That man is now dead. His deputy, my brother, Farseer Munch, is now dead. I am the next in line to the command of the Thruster Forces."

He turned slightly in the seat, as much as he could towards Nikev.

"And we now both share a common enemy, it would seem."

Coc0's dreadnought had just been fully prepared when an explosive shockwave rocked the room. Alarm signals could be heard and the room was lit red.

Most of the non-astartes in the chamber started attacking eachother and Nikev's message could be heard on the intercom.

In his new dreadnought form coc0 tore himself loose from the restraints. Then he charged out of the room with only one thought: "I must get to Nikev!"
