The siege of thraxia

[kenji10000]

Ooc: sorry for the slow reply, was out of town today :/

Kenji knelt before his captors in the most respectful way he could convey while in chains. "Sir, I have been sent on behalf of Aun'va himself. I have many talents that may be of assistance with the liberation of Thraxia." He paused for a moment, unclasping his large cloak. "I bestow upon you knowledge which you can do with as you see fit." He then opened his wings slowly, stretching about 8 feet across they cracked and popped as they had not been extended for quite some time. "My mother was the great cannoness Iconia, corrupted by Nurgle himself to form my misshapen self. I seek only absolution for my dark blood and will lend my services to the Imperium of man if you will except. I am very skilled in the ways of warfare, ranging from Tau tactics to espionage and assassination. I have no quarrel with the Sisterhood but would like to redeem Iconia's name. Your Watch Captain currently has my weapons, inspect my blade if you like, know that i speak the truth." He folded his around himself and re clasped his cloak around himself. His head down in respect, he awaited either a word of acceptance or a lance to the chest...

[Father Nurgle]

"So you are a human, corrupted by nurgle at birth and now you seek redemption, daemons get no redemption!" Darius was about to cast down this monster when the entire world was cast with an itching at the back of their minds. Darius stopped his blade only centimeters from Kenji's neck. "did you feel it too Farn?" Asked Darius as the room feel silent. "yes i did my lord, but what was it? did the chaos forces summon one of the daemon lords?" Farn asked back. "But An'ggrath was banished a 500 years ago!" Darius whispered the name of the daemon lord when he came up to it. he stood in thought for a moment as he was reviewing his options..."Daemons aren't only present in chaos. The eldar have their own avatars, considered daemons. and the necrons. have star gods. only a couple known, very dangerous, very powerful. but if we are dealing with a daemon lord, or a star god, we must kill it before it spreads!" Darius had a sense of urgency. "i have only wondered what a ctan would be like to meet... today would be the day... Kenji! Son of Iconia, Prince of Nurgle... you wish for redemption? first step is to help this rag tag team of imperials take down the 2 threats before us, and we will embark into the eye of terror to dispatch the forces from within" Darius decreed. "Give him his weapons Garald." Darius walked out cutting the chains holding Kenji...
"APPEASE THIS RAGE!" Darius bellowed out the order like a god and the imperial guardsmen regained composure and cowered to their knees. "I AM SURPRISED I DON'T KILL YOU ALL FOR HERESY!" He continued. "good work on doing your job but the canoness has the right to join me in my affairs. she is an ordo to." Darius voxed to his grey knights. "Leave this place and prepare for scouting runs! There is a daemon out there far greater than any you have fought if you have fought one at all!" Darius was scanning the crowd looking for any thing inconspicuous. "i need 40 of the best guardsmen in infiltration set up gear! 15 minutes to do this! disperse!" Darius walked back into his tent with a now suited up Kenji...

Ooc: just to tell you that the c'tan are not intact Daemons. They exist only in the normal dimensions. They are basically so powerful as they feed of stars for food. The nightbringer finds killing humans a delicacy of their brainwaves. Also the nightbringer in the current codex is an extension of his will as i said before. They are making the nightbringer "in the flesh" as it were itbwill be 15k points . Also the gods an their possessed are made of a living metal, bot daemony stuff. The same students used to make c'tan phase swords and if hit, just get absorbed .

Ic: the nightbringer hovered, thinking of what to do next. Time for some revenge he thought. It was a strange symbiosis. The lord still had free will but the nightbringer thought the same things at the same time. It was like having an exact copy of your mind doing he same thing. The lord of sake ess had no idea who was in control. The nightbringer reached out his star spanning conciousness to find the sister of battle who had plagued him sknce she had landed on the planet. Knowing that her kind were sensitise to souls, the nightbringer half of him scooped deep into his memory and took a choice selection of the galaxies (literally) of souls he had destroyed. He felt her twitch at the first one, but as the trickle turned into a stream into a river, he felt her pain, he tasted it and savoured it. Greedy, he let open the gates and millions upon millions of deaths cascaded through his mind into hers, he had single handedly taken over the universe before (ooc: that's true), and even though they had taken his weapon and starved him of food while he was sleeping, he was growing stronger than ever before. He had killed millions of millions of people and left their souls to drift among th warp, be cared for not one of them, as he was finishing off the nightbringer showed her the inter insidignance to not only to his lord, but to himself if he were to be here. As he was leaving, the nightbringer reminded her that she had been betrayed before and planted a seed of doubt that the grey nights might try to betray her as well. As the nightbringer opened his eyes, he smiled. That was revenge enough. He headed through the wall, taking the quickest route to the surface. Time to even out the battles.

As She sees Darius stride out the C'tan's assault on her begins at first it is just painful and she turns quickly walking back to her tent. Then the pain begins to grow she barely stumbles inside and sat down holding her face tears springing to her eyes before she is writhing in pain upon the bed she is on. The lord's enjoyment is matched by her agony and when he finally begins to flood her with the screams of the dying he feels her soul giving up. It is so close he can almost taste and see it and then it is ripped back from him. She lays shaking with pain and sorrow having barely survived his onslaught. SHe has only ever felt pain like this once before and that was more physical than this. She closes her eyes not even aware of the memory he is making resurface. Even as 40 of her guards come forth to help Darius. She stands doning her armor and walking out from he rtent. Already the scars of what she has just seen plague her face. Blood has drained from her once fair face and with her blindfold removed her purple eyes seem to have no spark left in them. He may not have drained my soul but he did take my light from me. It is no trouble for her to walk past everyone. Each step is painful her side still burns where the lord struck her. But she knows something is coming now. She turns and that is when Darius notices her. She appears like a candle that has gone out. There is no hope or life left in her face. The faith that once was there is destroyed and all that remains is a human. She raises her hand to him and salutes which brings forth the memory of her blessing. He can see her mouth the words, " victory in life, honor in death." and then with a wave of her hand she turns disappearing into the choas of people. The war on Thraxia has changed and she feels a fake smile touch her lips. After all she can feel where he is now. Her boots crunch against the ground as she walks towards where the Necrons came from.

[kenji10000]

Now with his weapons in hand Kenji planned to scout the front lines before the Imperial forces were mobilized. He thanked Darius kindly for the second lease on life and departed without any further words to others in the camp. Once he got to the edge of the camp he stretched his wings and prepared for flight; it had been quite some time since he had used them but he never got bored of it, the feeling of freedom from the stress of his campaign seemed to disappear as he darted through the air. He activated his stealth suit before taking off to ensure a secret strafing run. With one great push with his wings he was airborne in a flash, he quickly headed in the direction of the soulless Necrons and their dark leader. His wings carried him quickly to the Necron front lines, from his vantage point he still could not the the end of there march. As Kenji flew slightly lower to to survey the troops more closely he watched in horror as the Great Reaper made his way to the surface. He immediately flew higher and turned back toward the camp, not sure if the embodied Destroyer had seen through his stealth field. Unsure if such an adversary could even be vanquished, Kenji's resolve somewhat began to waver. He would fight and die if he had to, absolution through death was a fine way to go for him...

The Recent events were very troubling reports of the nightbringer himself taking to the battlefield, the cannoness was only a husk and nothing was going to plan anymore. Lelithane bit her thumb. She had left the camp and was surveying the march of the Necron armies. "I suppose it is time to change the plan." Walking from her perch Lelithane slid down a small incline. From there she walked to a small dried up bush and climbed in it. The bush warped and faded revealing a reaver jetbike. Charging the throttle Lelithane took off into the sky kicking up a dust cloud as she took off. Setting the jetbike to auto-pilot, Lelithane turned around in her seat and opened up the cargo box and removed a small dufflebag sized device. Opening up a panel she began to start up a sequence which would help her complete her mission.

[Father Nurgle]

Darius ordered his scout platoons across the side of the main necron force march, advising them to be weary of wraiths, scarabs, and destroyer bodies. they slow crawled to be far corners of the march to where the guardsmen were literally behind the catacombs entrance. "Grey Knights! embark to the rhinos!" Darius ordered. "Terminators with me!" 2 new Terminators walked up to join the squad. Alan and Xael. Replacing the empty suits of armor from the past casualties. "dreadnoughts are ready for deep strike operations!" A servitor voxed in from the cruiser above. "good... 40 grey knights, 8 terminators, 2 dreadnoughts, with 40 commandeered scout guardsmen..." Darius noted. Kenji arrived next to Darius with his unholy wings out The terminator armor infused to him started to burn from the daemon. Kenji told Darius of the nightbringer being here and Darius' eyes widened. "all units pull back! Guardsmen! stay completely behind the necrons! attack on my order! Grey knights, disembark to a defensive position as nominated by your justicars! load up on psycannons and incinerators!" Darius ordered with haste.
"Kenji!" he spoke out of vox. "i need you to fly to those scout guardsmen, have them set charges all throughout the entrances of the catacombs then i want you to lead them in and try to find all the necron lords you can destroy, there are usually 3 gold level necron lords, most likely guarded by pariahs or other rare killers, and if you can find him a Platinum level necron lord. not encountered yet by anyone if you can take these out then command will be limited to the nightbringer, which whilst in battle even a star god will falter whilst he is giving orders." Darius gave him a locator beacon. "should all of you men be lost use this and i will be teleported to you, i won't be made when ever you take me out. now go, luck be with you..." He said when he turned to the now confused guardsmen.
"Where is the canoness?" he questioned no answer. "Then by order of the inquisition i order take command from here on!" Darius ordered. "no begin deploying heavy weapons teams, i need all the lascannons counted and distributed!" Darius started organizing the guardsmen as he saw fit with heavy weapons and specialized guns...
Only an hour later and there were 100 guardsmen with 10 chimeras. all with a heavy weapons team dug in facing the direction of the necron advance. las guns and plasma guns lined trenches and large 3man teams of lascannons awaited above a command chimera hidden behind a rock preparing to give out orders. Darius had buried the land raider in a hole and covered it with grass and foliage right in the middle of the necrons path. The land raider was completely hidden, only visible to heavy scanners. The terminators and Darius waited inside as the sound of metal footsteps could be heard rumbling the earth around them.

(im digging in now that i've got them coming after me. Kenji, now its your time to have fun! be a beast and be a rambo if you want. lol )

With all the necrons moving towards Darius it has been reletivley easy for neyla to get to the catacombs. As she steps into the darkness and the smell of dank must she feels nothing. Now she must find the one who has half of her. As she creeps through she comes upon a room with a lord that appears to be in the middle of some great ritual. It is no great task for her to charge out into the eerie green light and half him with little more than a flick of her wrist. Just as the Nightbringer sweeps another unit of guard aside he feels one of the esscences of the weak lords leave him. He can feel the canoness already movign deeper into the heart of the catacombs. Her sword is easily dispatching the warriors that come for her as she moves slowly through the darkness. she chuckles coldly realizing how her lack of vision does not harm her. She can feel the second lord close by. The screams of souls near him is so loud she is deaf. When she enters the next chamber she sees all of the souls he has destroyed and without a word she charges forward to meet him in battle. Her sword clashes with his staff, " send a message to your master!" she snarls cutting away a warrior that had gotten in her way, " I am still here, and I want the half of my soul back that he has taken." The Lord before her wrasps at her in a laughing sort of way. She growls and chops another warrior in half before bringing her hand down on the lord knocking him backwards, " I will have it back and he will come to me." she sweeps her sword out shattering more necrons and buying herself time to slay the lord with his orb, " Unless the mighty god of stars fears me." That is when she finally cutts him in half and pics the orb up the screams of many dead souls runs through her like poison and she fights to smash the orb down upon the ground. " as the orb brightens from her touch she murmers the words, " It cannot be." and then it smashes to the ground and for her all the light has gone. Her feet shuffle forward but she feels all is lost. Even as she moves onwards destroying warriors with every move she knows that the Necrons are toying with them. Her doubt grows subtly.

[virado]

Lelithane soared toward the final position where the necron and imperial forces would clash. The device in her lap hummed and whirred as though it was charging up for something. Lelithane hugged the device to her closely as she spurred the jetike as fast as it would go. With the front of the necron march in sight the Dracon suddenly dived straight downward and swooped forward only inches off the ground. With the blades of the Jetbike strutting out and the chain balls deployed Lelithane shot straight toward the Necron advance. Without even firing a weapon she began to cut necrons in two at the waist as she cleaved a line through them. Suddenly pulling a 360 Lelithane let the large mace balls attached by chains to the end of her bike swing wide and smash warriors left and right leaving a large circle. And with the same swiftness as her attack had come Lelithane left again only this time without the strange device in her hands.

the device on the ground opened up and sprouted many prongs and began to beep even faster and faster until a great noise was heard and an inky black sphere appeared. Necron warriors caught in the sphere were sucked inward and when all warriors in the immediate vicinity were gone. New figures stepped forth from the sphere. Tall figures clad in jet black armor with long rifles adorned with spikes. Warriors upon great skimmers with large sails and menacing guns. Female warriors leading packs of hideous beasts and large scorpion like skimmers. It was a Dark eldar raiding army. The Wych Cult of Seduction has sent their best warriors to do battle and claim the souls of the living.

The moment these dark figures emerged from the portal they opened fire on the nearest enemies, the Necrons. With brutal efficency they cut down wave after wave of warriors each time filling them with large shards either rending them asunder or pinning them to the ground. Succubi cut swathes through the warriors and Talos decimated them with their large claws.

As more and more Dark Eldar came through some of them started to turn their attention elsewhere. Helion riders started to branch out from the battlefield and strafed the entrenched guard. And Ravager skimmers let loose their Disintegrator cannons turning whole squads to dust with a single burst.

Okaaaayy... Now everyone is fighting me. Time to troll.. look carefully in my previous passages >:-)

The nightbringer paused as he fealt his lords dying. He spared them a little energy to let them self repair. Neyla had seen into the mainframe through the orb and had seen his plan. Time to put it to practice. In the epicentre of the tomb complex was a vast obelisk lying dormant. It was easily 4 times the height of a reaver Titan. The nightbtinger fed vast, inconceivable wmounts of power in it, the forces of starts channeling into a small space. The obelisk glowed green. The. A massive bolt of emerald lightning came from it and hit a smaller obelisk near it. 3 more blots came out and mormed a square around it. The wall behind the obelisk started to disappear, replaced only by a green, waverin surface. A figure stepped out. It was a gold level lord. Naa he stood there dozens of lords walked out from different places in the portal, the portal rippling as they left it. 49lords stood before the obelisk and all was silence. Neyla was watching from a rock in cover, horrified. Then they all spoke as one: "connection re-established" that was all. Then from behind them marched legion upon legion of warriors. 49 tombworlds had connected. This planet was too important to lose. They had a god sleeping in their obelisk and it needed to be awoken. The countdown began when the planets had connected, the obelisk needing vast amounts of power from each world to awaken the outsider. The purge had begun.

There let's see what evaccing is planet is like.

Kenji felt the ground shake with the march of the countless warriors now entering the fray. His skin tingled from the surge of power that the Night bringer had released, he could hardly contain the warp energy building up in his body. Kenji knelt down letting the energy focus to his wings, in a flash arcs of black lightning fired from the bones in his wings. The energy channeled through the ranks of the advancing warriors, cutting down many into smoking heaps. Kenji fired his Carbine blindly into the ranks, trying to slow the advance, but it was to little avail, it was like trying to plug a river with a pebble. Knowing he couldn't hold his current position, Kenji took to the air again; He continued firing as he flew to meet up with the scout marines posted at the top of the hill. It was clear they needed help, Kenji landed in the midst of the warriors, slashing wildly at anything in arms reach. Amid st the Chaos Kenji heard the clanging of metal claws, as Flayed ones arose from the ground to help their soulless brethren. These clawed horrors fought with much more precision than their gun toting counterparts, For everyone one cut down ten replaced it. A battle of attrition was futile versus such a deathless foe, the flow of Necrons must be cut if the world is to be saved before all that is left is a smoking husk. Kenji continued to cut his way through the sea of metal making his way to the scouts...

Her legs hurt, her side is ignited with pain as the lords begin to step out of the portal and the screams of lost souls finds it’s heart here. Covered in filth Neyla sits with her back pressed against the rock tears of failure trailing down her cheeks. She creeps away from the horrible sight and runs down the twisting corridors until she reaches the entrance of the catacombs. She hits her vox unit finally able to get a signal, “ Darius, there isn’t much time left for Thraxia. You have to get everyone off of this planet now!” Receiving no answer Neyla tries again, “ Darius, You have to go!” that’s when one of her captains patches in and begins to speak, “ The commander is a bit busy but we are already following your orders and pulling back. When will we see you again Lady?” Neyla smiles drearily sweat and tears framing her face, “ It was a honor to serve by you all. I will see you in the after life. But if I don’t block up this catacomb then you will all be turning in early. Goodbye!” she pulls her helmet off tossing it out the door and then picks up the grenades off of several of her men’s bodies that were attempting to push through. She sees 40 dead bodies and tears come to her eyes as she piles them up and pulls the pins on one grenade and runs back into the catacombs barely avoiding getting shot by the warriors outside. The great explosion shakes the ground near her and covers her in dust and the smell of decay. She coughs hard climbing to her feet and then begins to walk slowly back towards the heart of the catacombs. She knows that each step carries her closer to her doom and still she puts one foot in front of the other. Then for the first time in over 10 years she prays, “ Emperor, hear your servant in her and Thraxia’s time of need. All our hope is gone and we fought your fight. More men lay dying than machines. The star god’s are coming, and we are not strong enough for this. I know I am not your perfect servant, my faith is gone and I have no light left. It is at this time that I come to you for strength. Give me the power to defeat your enemies. So mote it be.” She can hear the sound of metallic feet on dirt coming towards her and she readies her blade and when the lords round the corner she charges forward uttering a great battle cry and begins to hack away as many as will fall to her blade as possible. Shots rain down upon her body each more accurate than the last and blades cut through her body. When finally she kneels in defeat the Golden Lord steps forward and her sword drops from her hand as her breathe comes slowly her pupils already grow dark as she begins to speak blood dribbling from her lips, “ They will defeat you. I know it. I have seen it. They will rain down on you like a storm and members of my order and all the others will come and you will be brought to your knees as I am. I have seen it.” She mutters again. The lord turns as if in anger and shoves the blade of his staff into her chest. She stares blankly at him as he rips his blade out of her and stabs her again. Then for the first time since she died she smiles a true smile, “ You will be defeated. I have seen…” as the last stab hits her darkness finally consumes her and she falls wondering how long blocking up the entrance will have bought her people. Not long she wagers as once again she feels death’s cold embrace.

Ooc: er you committed suicide, do you plan on ressurecting?

[Father Nurgle]

(great words said by Arnold. i applaud your terminator reference. but i would gtfo this place cause reading what i write reveals plans.)

Darius could feel the weight of the necrons above them, the creaking of the top was a reminder of what stood above them. and the sounds of battle fought hard over head. "Sir... we are... engaged... above... necrons flee... large crui..." The vox from the ships above came in through the disruption fields. "engage the necron fleet. hold this planet until the time is right. i am going to try to take the big man down. even the star god are highly unstable to exposure to the warp." Darius said this in full vox. attempting to rally the troops defending against 2 separate invasions. "alright..." the wieght of necron feet was taken off the land raider Darius called for movement. "rise..." The land raider charged forth, slamming down necron warriors un aware. the nightbringer was right behind them, it swung and missed the land raider by a couple of feet. "lets move! create a perimeter! Gardus! take this!" Darius slipped him a vortex grenade "throw it before we leave..." Darius walked out a side entrance and even in terminator armor, the nightbringer doubled almost tripled his size. "lets do this..." Darius held his sword up in defiance as he fired his holy bolts, looking as if they don't do too much. "one hit is all i need." he though as he charged the nightbringer for his moment of truth...

(lets have a real troll fight! )
