The glass ninja wrote:TGN and his Grey knight's appeared in a sewer "what the gak" . he looked around and saw some marines down the tunnel to his left but he sensed something different about them "traitors" he yelled and then the shooting and the screams started.

Craxas: Those arent undead they are grey knights kill them!!!
Everyone took cover where they could find it

However after a few minutes of fire fighting it looked as this was going nowhere
Craxas: You Slave come here!!!
Marine: Yes my lord?
Craxas: take 100 mean & stall the grey knights!!
Marine: Of course..

As the grey knights we kept busy Craxas yelled to his troops to charge forward into the underground city they slaughtered all who stood before them but they had to move fast. They encountered heavy resistance but slowly pushed onward then he heard a familiar voice over his com-link

Moros: Craxas My Dear Friend im afraid i have...........troubling news for you.......the imperium pricks have ordered an extermintus on the planet
Craxas: WHAT!?
Moros: Im Afriad you got only an hour the get the package my thunderhawks will be waiting up top...don't make this our last chat

with that the com switched off & Craxas knew he had to work his men double time he pushed through fierce resistance & pushing through an eternity of mazes. eventually finding a manhole directly underneath the main palace although he had to blast through hundreds of crazed nurgle cultists some of his marines went down but he could not worry about that. he climbed the manhole along with 250 surviving marines he chucked a few dozen krak grenades into the manhole to slow those nurgle bastards down.

He looked as men "My loyal minions today is the day that you prove your worth to me he must rush to wards the very top of this palace to gfain an artifact that will ensure my immortality, though this palace is ill defend due to the battle outside there will still be resistance.....we have less than 45 minutes to make it to the top were our thunderhawks are waiting

The marines moved fanning to different positions blasting away the scraps of resistance that stood in their way. outside Craxas could hear exchange of bolt fire tank shells & artillery tearing this place apart infact some of those shells hit the palace shattering glass & take a few marines with it. As they made their way to the top they found tougher resistance of loyal guardsmen who were easily killed but they also found stormtroopers who were a pain the ass but were killed nonetheless.
Craxas soon spotted a hydra tank that the guard somehow drove into the place the marine quickly going for cover before the hydra could see them.

He Whispered "Does anyone have any Krak Grenades left" None were left so Craxas decided that the he would approach the hydra tank stealthy but the clank of his armour alerted the hydra tank of his presence it tried to open fire but craxas was already on top of the tank, opened the hatch & killed the crew with his bolter. He signaled he marines they the path was clear he went into the next room guns blazing the lascannon fire simply bounced off his terminator armour he proceeded to slaughter everyone there & moved on with his marines. In Half N hour he had made all the way to the specified location slaughtering his way through hundreds of guardsmen,a few dozen loyalist marines & an inquisitor but he was shocked to see what layed in the last room however

ooc: to be concluded

"Recall all transports." the Captain said to a servitor.

The pilot of the transport began to turn it back towards the troopship, the jarrin turn was noticeable to its passengers.

"What is the meaning of this?" General Vertol asked the pilot.

"We were ordered to return to the troopship." the pilot responded metallically.

A few minutes later, James Vertol was on the bridge of the ship demanding to know why his troops were recalled.

"The planets going to die." the Captain said coldly "An exterminatus was issued after a massive warp storm allowed a greater daemon into the world."

General Vertol had been robbed of his cance t fight in this warzone, he wouldn't have it.
"Is there anything on this vessel that can strike the planet?"

"We only have weapons for self defense and to clear landing zones for the dropships." the Captain said "Why?"

"Hit the planet with everything that can hit it." General Vertol began "We'll use the self defense weapons to stop any tainted craft from leaving the planet."

A quick argument broke out, but Vertol eventually got his way. The first salvo began to enter the atmosphere scant seconds later.

Ludd stared at the sky, purple, red, grey... all the colours of the spectrum and more seemed to co-exist in the vast vista. He picked up his plasma pistol and sword and walked out of the command post, he knew what he had to do.

TGN and his Grey knight's fought bravely and eventually overcame the chaos spawn. a voice crackled over his comm link "all personnel evacuate now exterminatus has been ordered". TGN turned to his Grey Knight's " justicar urian activate your teleport beacon and tell the Emperor's wrath to bring us up as soon as the first cyclonic torpedo is launched" "now to find ludd" and with that he vanished and appeared in front of his arch enemy "LUDD" he roared " face me no tricks just sword and cunning"

As the cultist scampered back towards the warp gate he noticed lord Mozzyfuzzy sitting on the steps of a desecrated imperial shrine, with a smoking pipe and a look, which simply wondered why this entire war had gone to pot.

Seeing the last of his cultists begining to leave, Mozzyfuzzy simply sighed and walked into the warp gate.
(to a horizon with a setting sun and accompanying music, [whatever you guys feel is most appropriate for this kind of moment{which in case you hadn't realised was the end of the film where the hero takes one look back before riding off into the distance}])

When Craxas Peered through the wall he saw several space marines & a buttload of guard protecting the artificat "Bloody hell....fething captians no less" Craxas cursed. he signaled his men to open fire the suprise of the attack led to three of the captians being shot down while the rest were going to be a problem the guardsmen followed the captians lead & took cover but Craxas had more than enough marines to begin slaughtering the guardsmen Craxas ended the fight quickly as time was of the essence. he quickly grabbed the chaos artifact & headed toward the waiting thunderhawks when he was alterted the sound of lasgun & bolter fire he turned around to see waves upon waves of chaos guardsmen & slaaneshe marines pouring in they wanted the artifact aswell he took cover as shot 5 foolish marines in the head with his pistol taking careful aim & making sure to hit each enemy in the head.

The Blood champion marines soon ran out of ammo and reverted to their melee weapons & stated to run this into a bloodbath Craxas himself ran out of pistol ammo and using his poweraxe with only one hand since he had to carry the artifact in the other. Craxas Fought with Savage brutality & fell thousands of pathetic guardsmen & dozens of marines but this was a losing battle his armour was barely holding togather from the multiple bolter shots he was receiving but he kept on fighting he sliced the head off a noise marines, cut a raptor in half & decapitated several guardsmen at once with a swing of his mighty axe he looked around & saw his marines being overwhelmed & killed....he fought his way to one of the thunderhwaks ships a few marines had made with him he scaremed to the pilot "TAKE OFF NOW!!" The thunderhawks engines roared to life & incinerated the foolish enemies who were tryng to force the door open, At last a bit of peace had come to Craxas mind as watched the war torn city below, he finally had a chance to look at this artefact & opened the casing inside he found a.....book. "All this for damned book!?...no matter moros will explain later"

The thunderhawk slipped past the imperial blockade & headed towards their ship. Once the thunderhawk docked with the battlebarge The battlebarge engaged its warp drives & left the system seconds before the extermintus went into effect

OOC: the end

@Scorpionov- But Creeds my best mate so what you thought was your thunderhawk seat, was really a vortex grenade, so the pressure of Craxas sitting on it made it explode.

The thunderhawks flew up towards the atmosphere, around them explosions and chaos filled the skies. Coc0 stood in the troop compartment of one of these craft. It had been able to pick him and Ladunov up before the planet started falling to the torpedoes.

Ladunov stood at one of side windows of the thunderhawk. at the horizon he saw the hulking thruster lord standing, waving his arms like lightning and screaming out cries. The captain just kept staring at the beast. Suddenly he saw a cyclonic torpedo hit the beast right below the neck. The device exploded and split into dozens of smaller charges. The beast was torn apart by the shear force, turning to ashes while letting out its final scream.

Ladunov then walked away from the window to coc0. When having reached his commander's side he said:

"It's all over. It's all finally over."

"No, this may just be the beginning..." Coc0 answered.

(OOC - Cheesy open ending FTW )

"Sir, several ships have left the orbit. One of which was identified as tainted." a servitor said to the captain.

"Yes, a battlebarge, something we don't have weapon capabilities to ward off." the captain responded.

"We also have the other ships identified as imperial sire, what are your orders for those?" the servitor questioned.

"Hail them." the Captain responded quickly.

A loud beep indicated that his signal was being sent across all friendly channels.

"To all imperial transports, this is Captain Eduard Marsle of the troopship Benign Interdiction. We are willing to assist in extraction of your forces and are capable of carrying additional transports if necessary. If you do wish to dock, hail back and follow proper docking procedures. Ship security forces will meet you in the landing bays to aid in the procedures." Captain Marsle finished in a monotone voice.

General Vertol was in the landing bay with his men within 5 minutes wearing rebreaters and hazardous environment suits. Most of them were armed just in case the imperials turned out to not be imperials.

whoever said my character sat down?

(ooc: Yea, I don't know if everyone who is here got saved themselves, so tomorrow, I'm going to actually finalize the Thread's End with an actual End Post.)

So who actually won?

If nobody won then I claim victory.

"Captain Halonachos, this is Techmarine Aldeus of the Crimson Fists. Our fleet was destroyed and our Thunderhawks are close to bingo fuel. Requesting permission to dock on your transports, over." The pilot of the main thunderhawk spoke to Halonachos over the vox.

Ludd drew his sword and his elegant pistol...
"One last time..." he muttered under his breath. Behind him lay his entire armoured force, the husks of smoking metal ripped open by the unholy powers of the daemon lord. With a hoarse shout, he raised his sword and charged at the towering monstrosity, red lightning rippled down the length of his sword, arcing up to hit the beast. As he fired off shots of glowing plasma into the creature, a faint blue haze extended out from his body. Slowly he began to glow, "No. You will not deny me this." He muttered grimly, striding forwards regardless of the ethereal effect that the strange light had. However, someone disagreed and as Ludd was about to thrust his sword through the fibrous mass of the daemon's calf, the blue glow sucked itself back into Ludd's body and with a scream, he was ripped away from his last chance of revenge...

How was that for an open ended plot twisting finish?
Ludd out...

The Commanders, torn asunder, mysteriously disappearing or escaping via ship, would not forget this day.
As the Imperial Ships blasted away at the planet, it began to break apart. All the while Lord Hardiferous was laughing maniacally at the carnage that he caused. As the Bombarding reached his location, he looked toward the oncoming weapons and smiled, because he knew. Chaos, can never truly be destroyed.

What your missing Nikev is some epic background music.

Well, If I had time, I would scrounge something up for Tuba
But sadly, I don't have the time

The thunderhawks of the Crimson Fists chapter landed in the landing bays of the troopship Benign Interdiction. The troopship itself lacked the accomadations for space marines, many of the bunks were too short and there would be little room for the power armor the marines wore.

As the marines exited their landers the Kyrie's in the bay saluted them with the aquila and even the least battle hardened of the shocktroopers could note a gloom hanging over the head of the space marines now entering their craft.

While the shocktroopers had been robbed of a chance to fight the marines had been robbed of valuable men and of course parts of their fleet.

CoC0 approached Vertol and easily dwarfed the unenhanced human.

General Vertol flashed the aquila and CoC0 halfheartedly returned the gesture out of kindness to the Guard commander.

"General James Vertol." General Vertol said bowing to the marine commander, "We are sorry we were not able to aid you and the other imperial forces earlier."

"Don't worry general." CoC0 replied monotonely "There will be another time for you to fight, only this time you may not be late."

The troopship had belonged to the imperial navy, but now was under the command of the Crimson Fists until relieved of the duty.

The marines would have a rough time resting on the small bunks if they rested at all.

General James Vertol would learn about enemy tactics from the Crimson Fist commander CoC0.

The loyalists would continue to wage war against the forces of evil.

(OOC - If anyone ever feels like doing a sequel on this just pm me and i will make it. It was fun fighting you guys. Coc0 out.

TGN looked around he was in a white area everyone he had ever known was around him and he knew everything he needed to know. he cast out his mind and found the soul he was looking for and whispered to it"it is not yet your time" and with that he walked to a great golden figure in the distance and his final word was "ludd"

?? This thread is over.......

I think people are posting their "final words".

I'm all up for another PM though.

Psh, final words are for people who die.

I did die
