The mystery revealed.

The commander looked up from what he was doing when the sirens began to sound, they were running out of time. The transmitter was nearly finished, but there were a few things that needed to be adjusted before they could transmit the emergency code to the Tau fleet. The commander picked up the finished transmitter and activated his jump pack, "You stay here and wait for me." The commander said to the firewarriors before lifting off from the base. He launched himself to the middle of the plain so that a clear message could be transmitted. Firestorm activated the device. Blue lights lit up and the antenna whirred with energy, "Begin recording." The commander said to the machine. "This is Commander Firestorm on planet 6 in the system, we have encountered Necron warriors and have taken many casualties, we have joined forces with a large group of raiders on the planets surface but we will not be able to last long. I am requesting reinforcements at the following location." The commander gave the coordinates of the drop and then ended the recording. He sent the message and looked towards the advancing Necron line, they were close. Five minutes later when the commander was in real danger of being hit by enemy fire another light flashed and a voice came up on the vox, "This is commander Flint we have received your message and are advancing to your position and the drop zone indicated." The commander was over joyed to hear it but now he had another problem, the enemy line was close and he was unsure if he could launch himself back to the base without being shot down.

nahan dragged (deus's character) to the baron, throwing him at the the barons feet. "he was snooping around."apon sighting the monoliths, nahan drops to his knees. placing his hands apon the floor, he enters a prayr like kneeling. "fathers of chaos, please bless us with something capable of destroying the enemy, a creature of might." he suddenly stood bolt upright, and cotinued upwards, untill his head was nearly at ceiling height. his skin begin turning blue,and two massive bulges appeared on its back his neck lenghtened, his nose and lower jaw extending. his legs grew talons and extended, and his clothes shreded apart, revealing his body. not for long however, because a white robe appeared on him that fell to the ground. afetr a few muinites of screaming and having his hair turn to feathers, a lord of change stood before the rest of the group. a large staff began growing out of the ground, completing the image of the lord of change. summoning a ball of lightning into his hands, the lord of change fired a bolt of pink lightning into a monolith, causing a massive mutation in the metal. whilst the monolith was not destroyed, it began firing on the other monoliths, destroying one, until the rst destroyed the traitor monlith.

The baron jibbered. "Give that thing some room!" He and his men were dumbfounded at the huge lord of change that stood before them. "Boss, it's one of them bird things, y'know when we had to run from th-" The baron punched the guard in the chest. "Shut it!" He looked out onto the horizon. "The fish boy is stuck out there. You, get to the grappel guns!" he pointed at his right hand man. An enormous turret like thing was wheeled out on rails. The turret consisted of seven grapnel guns and a large centre gun which appeared to fire a net of sorts. "Pull him in!" The guardsman looked confused, he then aimed the turret up. He slammed his fist against one of the many makeshift buttons and pulled a lever. A huge vice like set of claws flew into the plains. the first one missed it's target and pulled back a large chunk of dirt. the second shot grabbed the commander, wrapping the commander in it's cold grip. it reeled back and took him with it. The grapnel moved slowly at first, and increased speed. So fast it may have caused whiplash when it returned. The claws opened about three feet above a large metal platform which connected by a seires of bridges to the main keep.

the lord of change turned to face the baron. "i am nahan, lord of change. i am here to aid your cause to defeat the necon forces. i do however, have a price. for every ten men and women, childdren or adult, whatever it is you have with you, i want one of them. whoever it may be. if not, i will abandon you where i stand.

"i would not recommend trying to drag me anywhere again daemon" Kassith said, drawing his longrifle and sniping away at the targets surrounding Firestorm.

[Esiphas]

(waiting for funguses response.)

"I ain't got enough problems, do I?" He chuckled to himself. "You say you'll help me if I give one in ten of my population to you?" He Shook his head. "I'm already in trouble with your, um, 'God'. I'll haggle here, one in twenty and you got a deal, we're already low on people." He clicked his fingers on his right hand. A small scrawny crippled man scuttled out from a drainage system entrance. It came bearing an enormous platter of ammunition and lay it down on his desk. "Tuck in boys!" his remaining men all filled thier guns with fresh ammunition. "They're approaching fast, we're gonna need to start hitting things."

[Esiphas]

"one in twenty. hhmmm. i will accept this, but you must promise to give me half of your salvaged technology, once the battle is done."

[orkblasta]

The commander dropped to the ground landing on his feet with a thud. He looked at the Baron and said, "you have my thanks, I was able to contact my fleet, they will be here soon and will aid us in battle." The commander turned around and saw the daemon, he shuddered at the sight of it but walked right past and out the door to his firewarriors. They packed up what they needed and then proceeded to the drop zone the fleet was heading for.

once the men the baron had given nahan were present, nahan began the ritual. he basically killed as many birds as thier were men, but in rituall form, the held his staffe on hight. the souls of the dead birds became visible, and forced their way down the mens throat. an extra bird soul, craftily placed by nahan, forced its way down the biggest mans throat, and then all the men erupted outwards in a gory display of guts and gore. standing in each mans place was a pink horror, apart from in the largest mans place, where a raven winged daemon prince stood. "you will fight in this war fro the benefit of tzeentch! daemons of chaos, destroy the enemy, and do not stop." turning to the baron, and the rest of the motley cew, nahan screched then spoke again. "are their any psychers here?"

[Fungus A]

The baron covered his eyes as giblets and entrails spattered the camp. "They're gettin' closer boys, you ready for some fun?" He elbowed on of his men in the ribs, who rushed over to the red baron. "Is she fixed yet" "Good to go!" The baron chuckled and heaved himself onto his craft. "Let's go ruin somebody's day." The valkyrie took off. A huge plume of smoke burst from the twin jets on the valkyrie before it took off into the skies. "Boss, where'd those bugs go?"...

The commander watched the tau transport ships glide through the atmosphere of the planet to the designated location. A few barracudas and heavy gun drones flew towards the advancing Necron forces which continued to grow as more and more awakened. The commander and the remains of his firewarrior squad stood at the rear hatch of a manta transport vessel. The hatch popped open and revealing 2 devilfish transports, 2 hammerhead gunships, and 8 battle suits. When they had cleared a long ramp extended from the main part of the craft and 30 firewarriors ran down to join the fight that was about to take place. The commander watched as another 20 or so mantas went through a similar procedure. Along with the mantas came a few other tau transport vessels each carrying different units.
The tau army had assembled, a few hundred fire warriors, stealth suits, about a hundred battle suits, and dozens of devilfish transports and hammer gunships. The commander stood at the head of the army along with commander flint, (another battle suit commander, with similar upgrades.) They looked at each other then looked at the necron forces that had only recently spotted the tau army to their right and had divided their forces to attack both the tau and the barons forces. The tau commander flint activated his com system and spoke to the entire tau army, "We are here to aid the defenses of a chaos regiment and a few loyal followers of the tau empire." He cleared his throat, "All units start the advance, when in range fire at will, all support vessels cover the advance and retreat of infantry lines. All squad commanders the Necrons are an enemy that little is known about, if anything unusual should arise during your fight report it." The commander raised his gun towards the skies and fired off a blast of blue plasma, "Begin advance."

[Esiphas]

nahan strode to the commanders. "are their any psychers in your battkeforce? i require the service of four others."

[orkblasta]

The commander looked at nahan in an odd way and said "What is a psycher and why do you need them?" The commander looked back at the advancing force, activating his jump pack he launched into the air to lead a squad of battle suits into battle.

OOC: The tau empire is the only race in 40k that doesn't have any psychers. So in turn my characters army will also not have any psychers.

[Esiphas]

ooc- i thought that etheals were psychers, sorry.
