Vae Victis

I own nothing

(Warning, this is a composite C&C faction)

Prelude

The Immaterium...a dimension fundamentally different from the one where humans came to be, it is a place where emotion is given form and normal rules and logic don't apply.

Time and space itself is meaningless.

And it is in this sea of chaos and raw psychic energy that a Necron Monolith found itself, and since the soulless, material machines knew that it wasn't advisable for them to stay there for any length of time they hastened to escape it.

But the Warp is never that simple...and the Chaos Gods have their own games to play.

Lieutenant-general Nikolai Krukov wasn't happy, not one bit.

The invasion of North America wasn't proceeding as nicely as he hoped it would. The war had barely began and already his and general Vladimirs forces have suffered multiple defeats at the hands of their foe.

And when he thought that nothing can get worse after the Psychic Amplifier was destroyed, here came Murphy for another visit.

One moment his forces were clashing against the Americans in San Francisco, and the next a floating pyramid descended from the sky right in the middle of the combat zone.

When he was first notified about it he thought it was some kind of Allied trick, he was quickly proven wrong when the thing started to obliterate both sides equally.

Conscript and GI alike disappeared under the barrage of green energy weapons...then it started to deploy a never ending stream of some kind of skeletal robots armed with even more energy weapon!

Energy weapons that made his tanks look like they were made out of cardboard boxes. Kirov, Apocalypse it didn't matter...and one needed a AP tank round to even scratch the accursed things in the first place!

His attention was taken when he heard the noise of a helicopter approaching his base...his last base thanks to the infernal machines.

Krukov walked outside and saw how the allied NightHawk Transport landed in the clearing that was made for it.

The helicopters door opened and a four Navy SEAL's exited first, followed by the person he was waiting for.

"Lieutenant Lee I presume" said the Russian.

The woman nodded, her expression kept neutral "Lieutenant-general Krukov."

The man only nodded once before motioning for them to go into his bunker. He personally hated the idea that the glorious USSR was forced to sign a ceasefire and work together with the Allies against the new threat, but he could understand why the Premier would decide that...so far his forces had zero success against the enemy.

"Are you ready for the counteroffensive?" asked Eva as she instructed one of her engineers to set up a satellite up-link to Washington...and the Kremlin.

"Da" he answered "the aliens will curse the day they dared to set foot on our planet."

Eva looked at her watch before refocusing back on the Soviet commander "Its almost time...lets hope it works as planed."

Normally she wouldn't be so keen to work with a Soviet but she was now seething with rage at the death these things from 'outer space' have wrought...the new enemy has already eradicated any sign of human life in Florida and parts of Mexico.

They had to stop them from further devastating Nevada and Arizona...

"Then let us show them true human hospitality."

The Necron Warriors marched through the remains of the human base, destroyed and burning vehicles and fortifications crumbling all around them. Human corpses were rare thanks to their Gauss weaponry, but on occasion there was enough from a GI or a SEAL to impale on anything nearby.

The humans tried to defend the people who lived here but it was futile...it took only a few hours until the city was gone, razed to the ground. It wasn't that surprising, the primitives fell quickly.

One of the Flayed Ones quickly moved ahead of the column looking for more victims...a decapitated head was impaled on one of its many shoulder spikes. The blond girl was probably no older than eight when her life came to a terrifying and brutal end.

As the machines marched out of the city they saw more of the primitive humans preparing to make another futile stand.

Not that it will do them any good.

XXX

Sergent Smith spat on the ground as he watched the monstrous tide advance, leaving only death and destruction in their steps...he had lost good men trying to defend the people of Las Vegas against the machines "Here they come."

Thanks to the peace hammered down between Washington and Moscow, Earth now stood united against the invaders.

"You heard the sarge, gear up!"

The Battle Fortresses rumbled to life and started to advance at the enemy.

Once they were close enough Zofia's voice resonated over the radio.

"Iron Curtain activated!" came the warning.

XXX

The Necron saw how the enemy armor started to advance towards them...and they were ready for them.

Then the enemy vehicles came into range and the servants of the C'Tan fired their Gauss weapons at will.

Shot after shot hit their targets, but unlike before now their weapons failed to damage the enemy armor in any way...if the Necron could feel emotion, then they would be flabbergasted right about now.

But since they could not, the machines simply continued to fire away with the same lack of results.

Then the Battle Fortresses came into range, one by one the Chrono legionnaire inside the vehicles opened fire on the robotic aliens, and one by one the invaders were erased from existence.

XXX

The Necron Lord was puzzled how such primitives got their hands on such formidable weapons...it made no sense to him. Even if they found some advanced technology, reverse engineering it would be far beyond what these humans should be capable of.

As it was contemplating that, a flash of light nearby the Monolith took his attention.

Somehow the humans managed to teleport more of those bulky vehicles right outside the Monolith.

Not wasting time the Necron Lord released a bolt from his staff, instantly destroying the closest of the tanks.

Then the Monolith let loose...

XXX

As soon as the Chronospheres deployed the army beside the enemy spacecraft the humans were assaulted by a myriad of deadly weapons

"Unit down!"

"We are under attack!"

Wherever the strange energy rays of the aliens hit, units disappeared.

Chrono legionnaire started to teleport in ever greater numbers to stop the endless tide of the aliens emerging from the enemy ship.

Gauss weaponry faced off against Chrono blaster, each hit erasing someone...or something from existence.

Thanks to the Soviet Cloning-Vats the number of Chrono legionnaire steadily increased, and once the Iron Curtain was used the Battle Fortresses managed to close in on the Monolith without fear of damage.

Then dozens of Chrono blasters fired on the target.

After a few seconds the Monolith was erased from space-time.

The Necron invasion was halted.

Eva sighed in relief when the screen showed the destruction of the invaders, leaving only their stranded robots around to be hunted down by their forces individually.

She could hear cheering from both Soviets and Allies alike.

"That will teach them to invade our planet" grinned Krukov.

"I'm afraid not" said another voice from the direction of the door.

Both Eva and Krukov turned around and saw a hooded person enter the bunker.

"Who are you?" asked the suspicious Russian as he turned to the Allied woman "is he one of yours?"

She shook her head.

"I bring information about the enemy you have defeated today" said the mysterious figure "and a warning...for they control countless worlds and will not rest until all life in the galaxy ceases to exist."

"And you know this how?" asked Krukov "and you still didn't tell us your name."

The man removed his hood and showed his bald head to the gathered group "My name is Kane, and I wish to talk with your leaders about something called a Threshold Tower and a possibility of a multiversal alliance for the sake of mutual survival."

A/N:

Its not easy doing a Warhammer crossover in its own universe since it has a rather powerful mix of fantasy and tech. Fortunately it also has small things like the Pariahs etc that allow a completely technological race to even the field somewhat if they have good enough tech. And fortunately composite C&C is close enough to the Necrons in technology that they can, and thanks to the franchise canon build times it also has Tyranid-like rate of growth.
