"What is this? Raven Guard brillant. Slaughter them all World Eaters BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"
Angron screems prasies to his new master
"All hail the supreame power of Chaos!" screem the newly arrvied World Eater forces

"I say draw their effort and fire in multiple places, if a Legion attacks the fortress and the rest assault different planets, it will be impossible for them to stop this invasion of all of us at once. We can then slowly capture them all. That's my peice. Dorn is the geniuse behind defences though. Final decision should be his."

The Raven Guard descend upon Derval with righteous fury, their artillery mauling the flanks of the rebel forces. However their tanks are snagged by the native machines.

Manus is dumbfounded and dosn't know what tot hink of his brother's words. "I know you can't be going mad but you are have visions?" Manus paused and took in a breath before looking back at "You better be right. I will order legion to leave bringing as many people as the can. If I cannot get enough ships will order the Mechanicus to give us add. Thank you brother, I must go now I need to follow the Emperor's order's.

Deep in the comm sector of the Phalanx, the astropaths quivered in fear upon recieving the message from Angron's ships. A terrified rating hurried up to Dorn's massive seat. "Ah, sir! Th- the- there's something wrong, sir! The astropaths wish to speak to you, they say it's an emergency!"
Dorn was about to rebuke the serf for daring to violate the Prussic Code that all aboard an Imperial Fists vessel are expected to follow when the rating explains the urgency. The unfortunate fellow barely has time to duck out of the way of the Primarch's path as he takes massive strides to the astropaths' chambers, burnished armor and a golden, eagle-covered bolter clinking gently with each step. Dorn knew of the terrors of the Warp and the Dark Gods that existed within, and anything that the astropaths said could be an issue would need to be dealt with quickly and decisively. Still, nothing could have ever prepared the mighty Primarch for what the chief Astropath told him.
He blanched, something that he had never done before, and sharply demanded that the Astropaths check that it was not some sort of Xenos trick, or perhaps a dread whisper from the Warp itself. When the Astropaths, trembling yet more, informed him that the message carried the stamp of Angron himself, Dorn muttered to himself, "By the Emperor," and turned on his heel, the frantic Astropath running alongside him and explaining that it was an open message to every ship in Imperial space.
This is impossible! Angron had his differences, like us all, but... this is unprecedented! Most of the Imperium have never even heard of the forces of Chaos, and he dumps an invitation on the open Warp? This cannot be his doing. Perhaps an underling, a pskyer or a rogue astropath was possessed and took his key... there is no way a Primarch could turn. No matter what had happened, however, something had to be done quickly. Dorn ordered the Astropaths to send a message to Terra explaining what had been heard and his thoughts on the matter, then he took his seat and turned to the screen connected to his fellow in-system Primarchs.
"Bretheren, excuse my absence, but something of grave and immeasurable peril has occurred..."

**Berserksteve**

Manus solutes Corax and heads out and give his order to evacuate Medusa.

Manus knew that the Iron Warriors knew what they were doing when it came to sieges. He thought the best he could do is add his brother in the fight by sending down to him Land raider, Dreadnoughts and Techpriest to help with heavy support.

**darksage**

Fulgrim distraught by the news brought by the Astropaths considers long and hard what treachery this might be. Fulgrim calls one of his Lord Commanders. "Vespansian, my brother Angron has betrayed the Emperor. I can't sit by and let my other brothers deal with this threat alone. Yet, my attention is needed elsewhere. I have rallied a third of the Legion together to depart to aid the Whitescars and Ravenguard. I'm calling for you to lead them. Depart immediately, time is of the essence. If this is a trick I swear I will make whoever is responsible pay dearly."

**Raynor933**

Dorn nods, then looks to Alexis Polux, the fifth company captain. "A good idea, Brother Fulgrim. I shall have fifth company go with your men, Brother-Captain Polux shall take the battle barge Hammer of Terra and accompany them." The stern captain nodded silently, and then turned and left the bridge. "The rest of the Imperial Fists and I shall head to Terra post-haste; now that there is the risk of treachery, defending the Emperor must be our main goal. I propose that we leave the Atal to their own devices for now, we may return to them after the present crisis is over."

**darksage**

"You are reaponsible for the defense of Terra and returning to it is a wise choice. Still, we can not shirk the demands of the Warmaster, once these planets are secure we can worry about directing our troops elsewhere. For now, my responsibility lies here. Whatever decision you make I wish you best of luck. We seem to have sufficient forces here already, it will sadden me to miss fighting by your side and seeing the unmovible defense of the Fist first hand, if such is your decision to reinforce Terra."

**WARORK93**

(Wow, I knew Angron was prone to fits of rage but that was FAST, also I can't really believe that Angron would just go over to Chaos because he was angry, or any primarch for that reason, it should require a little more convincing.)

lucky number 9 for tactics

Perturabo is busy overseeing the siege from his position when his tech marines send him a message they have intercepted. "Uh, sir, you are going to want to listen to this." The tech marines connect Perturabo to Angron's message. Peturabo's eyes grow wide. 'What has that rage filled moron gone and done now?! I swear by all that is holy, he'll pay for that blasphemy.' Perturabo is convinced that Angron is so caught up in the throes of his rage that he cannot control himself, but there is little he can do from here. Perturabo turns his mind back to the siege, afterwards he was sure there would be hell for someone to pay for this debacle Angron had created.

Perturabo orders an orbital bombardment from his fleet to help the siege along, Perturabo needed a quick victory here so he could respond to whatever was happening elsewhere. He sent a message through to the legions that were supposed to be supporting him: He had forced a breach, time to land and finish this world in the name of the Emperor.

(Derval)

The native machines awake to full wakefulness, and charge across the glittering plain, vaporizing both traitor and loyalist alike. A White Scars tanks is sent flying, crashing down in the midst of the World Eater's blood-thirsty mob, crushing those beneath it. A group of several hundred Raven Guard are cut off from the rest of their force by the scuttling robots.

The orbital strike levels many of the atoll-cities, and lie bare the Temple of the Laer.

**Mordoskul**

(Fulgrim)

Several thousand of the Atalian fighters begin to 'skip' towards you in azure flashes, emerald bolts being spat from their dorsal cannons.

**darksage**

Fulgrim sends as many fighters as possible to the battle and commands from the flag ships. "Men, find the commanding ship and focus our attention there. For the Emperor and Warmaster!" He shouts in unison with his men.

Hearing of what is happening on Derval, I send 5 squads of my finest.

With screaming fury, the Night Lords smash down upon the surface of Derval, their Assault Marines tearing the World Eaters to pieces. However, the robots encroaching on the battle seem destined to overwhelm both forces.

The forces of the Alpha Legion break from the Warp, joining the fleets of the Sons of the Phoenix and the Imperial Fists.

"Men, have you identified the commanding ship?"

**Mordoskul**

(Durval)

The timely arrival of the Night Lords save the Raven Guard from destruction, and destroy many of the infernal contraptions before pushing the World Eaters back. With the force of three Legions against them, the World Eaters are reduced to a mere handful of frenzied killers and Angron himself.

**Mordoskul**

The helmsman points to a slightly larger ship skipping in and out of realspace near the first fortress at the head of the pack.
