Before I get into the story I want to list the loadout's for everyone
(Using Wrath of the Blood Ravens Wargear)
Aramus(Force Commander)
Main Weapons: Arcantum Engeris
This mysterious sword was found hidden in a ruined cellar deep in the catacombs under Castellum Incorruptus on Kronus. Despite it's unknown origins, the Techmarines of the Chapter regard this weapon as a miracle of the Machine God because the blade incorporates a Warp Vortex Matrix of previously unknown STC template. Once Activated, anything touched by Arcantum Energis is immolated body and soul in a blaze of Warp energy.
Shield of Terra: This revered artefact was originally used by the imperial fists during the siege of Terra, and later aboard the vengeful spirit, Chapter lore has it that only the purest of astartes can wield it in battle.
Armor:Imperator Gloriam
Reconsecrated with the power of the Beacon Psykana, the sacred blessings, and anti-daemonic wards now resonate with the sacred Light of Faith. The golden prayers of the God Emperor inscribed upon the armor now shine with His Divine Light, heralding the emperor's righteous Vengeance upon the Great Enemy.
Commander Item" Helmet of the Crusader
A thousand years ago this helmet was worn by and Emperor's Champion of the Black templars. The holy zeal of the long dead warrior is said to guide the blows of the wearer.
Tarkus(Tactical)
Main Weapon: Angel's Deathdealer
This Boltgun bears the following inscription: "Let all the fear and madness he has stripped from His Angles of Death be delivered onto the hated targets of this holy weapon." Tarkus chose to load Psycannon bolts into this Holy Weapon
Armor: Imperator Gloriam
Reconsecrated with the power of the Beacon Psykana, the sacred blessings, and anti-daemonic wards now resonate with the sacred Light of Faith. The golden prayers of the God Emperor inscribed upon the armor now shine with His Divine Light, heralding the emperor's righteous Vengeance upon the Great Enemy. Somehow, the Techpriest Martellus was able to recreate this holy suit of Armour and now rests upon the back of this Veteran Tactical Marine.
Avitus(Devastator)
Main Weapon: Glorious Extermination
Veteran Devastator Brother Nihilius unleashed extinction with this very weapon on more than one Xenos race in the days of the Great Father. Ever since this sacred weapon symbolized the ultimate glory of the total extermination to the blood ravens. Avitus chooses to load Tempest Rounds into this Sacred Weapon.
Armor: Undying Armor of Grayan
Rumors of Captain Grayan's death have flourished among blood ravens for centuries, but again and again, he has reappeared on the battlefield, ready to aid his younger battle brothers. Some claim he was last seen on Typhon during the last battle of the Tyranid invasion and left this revered armor behind.
Cyrus(Scout)
Main Weapon:Mark of Exitus
Only the dreaded assassins of the Vindicare Temple wield Exitus Rifles, However, a veteran scout sergeant of the Blood Ravens found himself fighting alongside one of these death dealers at the height of the Walsh Uprising, One year later, this modified Astartes Sniper Rifle appeared among his gear.
Armor: Pride of the Techpriests
Within the Forges of Mars itself, three generations of master artificers toiled on this set of light armor. Reportedly the result of a boast to the Lords of Terra from the Fabricator-General himself, the near perfect suit grants unparalleled protection and inspires all Space Marines who see it.
Now onto the story, this takes place literally after you deal the killing blow to Ulkair.
[PLANET AURELIA, SELENON KEEP]
"DIE FOUL DAEMON!" Arumus shouted as he stabbed his sword Arcantum Energis for the final time onto Ulkair's twisted and fouled features. "Well done commander, the Chaos threat is eliminated." Sergeant Tarkus said as he lowered his bolter Angel's Deathdealer, "Foul warp daemons, more like it." Sergeant Avitus added on, "Threat eliminated Cyrus, regroup with us." Arumus said over the vox channel "I am already here commander, your final blow was well struck." Arumus shifted his stance out of reaction, "For the Emperor's sake Cyrus, announce your presence, you're worse than Namarean.".
"Commander, this is Angelos, the last of the traitors have been eliminated, how goes your side of the fight?" Angelos asked over the vox, Aramus answered
"We have pushed back the daemon, and eliminated any remaining traitors, we have won Captain," Angelos replied
"Excellent news Commander, Thunderhawks are on route for extraction Angelos out.".
30 minutes had passed, Aramus looked out at the remains of the long forgotten chapter keep, he imagines what it would have been like mobilizing from such a place, his thoughts were interrupted by one Jonah Orion, the Librarian aboard the Strike Cruiser Retribution.
"Greetings Commander, congratulations on your victory today, I have a feeling it will be remembered for centuries." Aramus turned to face Jonah
"I agree, Jonah, but I still feel like there is another campaign that needs me and my strike force to go fight."
Jonah raised his eyebrow, "Describe this feeling Commander, is it something psykec?"
'No Jonah, nothing like that, more of a gut feeling if you will, Thunderhawk should be arriving soon, we should regroup with the others." Aramus said as he walked past the librarian.
The two Astartes regrouped with the other 3 sergeants and waited for the thunder hawk, Jonah bid his farewell to go meditate and pray. Tarkus spoke
"I wonder what lies next for us Commander, do you have any idea, maybe Angelos will make peace with Diomedes and we will join him in the Ferox Rift campaign." Cyrus replied "I wouldn't be so sure Tarkus, Diomedes is prideful, he will never admit to being wrong on such a matter, not to mention, with the decree of heresy against Angelos and his company, every SpaceMarine in the imperium would have heard of it, we have nowhere else to go."
Avitus added, "It's a warm day in space when I agree with Cyrus on something like that, but labeled renegade or not, I will always fight the for the imperium, and The Emperor."
It was Aramus' turn to share his opinion "We go where the Emperor wills us, we fight where The Emperor wills us, and that is that how ever, I am having this gut feeling that somewhere more important than the Ferox Rift campaign needs us."
Somewhere else in the vicinity of the long forgotten and now blood-stained chapter keep, a single wounded Chaos Sorcerer, found his strength and was now heading towards the loyalist forces, once there, he readied a spell, and launched it towards the marines.
"COMMANDER, LOOK OUT!" Tarkus shouted, what it was too late, the spell was headed straight for the four Marines. It exploded with energy, and once the smoke cleared, the four marines were nowhere to be seen.
[PLANET REMNANT, BEACON DORMATORIES]
Professor Ozpin groaned as his alarm clock blared it's annoying tone "Glynda, are you up?" he asked in his groggy morning voice. feeling the space next to him, he then noticed his scroll blinking a red light on the nightstand next to him, he grabbed it and unfolded it, it read
"Unknown energy ,Anomaly detected" he sighed as he thought it was one of the sensors failing and set it down, and started to get dressed, then his scroll buzzed again, this time a call, from General James Ironwood of the Atlesian Military.
"Good morning Ozpin, one of my lieutenants just reported an energy reading unlike nothing we have ever seen, and it was near Beacon, did you see it too?" Now Ozpin was concerned.
"Yes James, something came up on my scroll, I thought it was just a faulty sensor at first, but now that you mentioned it I will investigate it, thank you General." Ironwood replied "No problem Oz, anything for a friend and ally."
Ozpin finished his morning routine leaving his secretary turned wife to sleep in a little longer, right now he needed to take care of this matter.
[PLANET REMNANT, EMERALD FOREST]
Aramus and his three sergeants woke up in a forest area, it was black as night, "Switch to night vision brothers." Aramus said, the helmets displayed something resembling a light jungle area of typhon, but replaced with fauna as opposed to foliage. "Where are we?" Aramus asked, "Definitely not on Aurelia." Avitus replied, "Commander, Auspex scans are picking up heat signatures, on guard Space Marines." Cyrus said as he raised his Sniper Rifle, Tarkus raised his bolter opposite of Cyrus, and Avitus leveled his Heavy Bolter opposite of the other two, covering the Eastern, Western, and Southern flanks of the open space, leaving Aramus to cover the Northern approach in melee.
Out of the treeline around them game Dark, Black soulless looking creatures with white Bone looking armor, and blood red eyes, these ones, in particular, looked like Bloodletters of Khorne, only without the fire and sword. "What kind of Daemons are these." Tarkus asked, "Daemon or not they will fall like the rest!" Aramus shouted as he charged the first of the creatures, slicing it in half with his sword, the second making for an attack, but being met with a golden shield to the faceplate, the now two corpses disappeared on death. "What?" this momentary lapse in concentration nearly cost Aramus as he only just evaded a swipe from one of the Daemons claws.
on the other three's fronts, bolt rounds were ringing out into the field, felling every creature with deadly precision, Cyrus not hesitating between each shot, Tarkus aiming his bolter and killing each target with one shot, and lastly Avitus, spraying his heavy bolter at anything that got in his sights, and being deadly effective at doing just that.
20 minutes later, the last of these creatures was killed, and calm had been restored. "That's the last of them commander but we should still be alert." Cyrus stated, then a new voice spoke, "That pack of Beowolves is most assuredly not the last of the Grimm."
Ozpin was walking through the emerald forest, tracking the location of the anomaly on his scroll when he heard what sounded like gunshots, but from no weapon he had ever heard, he picked up his pace and soon reached the source of the sound, for figures in red armour of different designs, and various embroideries, but all retaining a similar figure, a Raven with a single drop of blood in the middle, all fighting a fairly large pack of Beowolves. The first figure wore a suit of armor that was painted in a Blood Red color, with a single golden double headed Aquila onto the chest piece, a white shoulder pauldron with spikes on the trim, and another red pauldron with golden dimpling,a blood-red helmet on top of his head, wielding a sword with an obsidian blade, white hilt that looked like eagle wings and a white pommel, with a very ornate looking shield in the shape of a cross.
The second was wearing the same armor as the first figure, but with a white helmet instead of a red one, but this time with a Rifle of some sort, and this man was using it to deadly effectiveness, downing each Grimm with a single shot the head, no matter how quickly the Beowolves moved. The third with a very big gun, so big it needed it's own dedicated munition storage, donning the same red armor, but with a different design, this one had almost all red, with all black trim, and golden features, including a blocky looking eagle on the chest, with a chin protector resting on the neck of the armor also with a white helmet. then the last, and the most lightly armored of the four, wearing the same top half of the armor, but left blank on the embroideries and focused more on protection rather than style, with a white camouflage cloak and a very long sniper rifle,opting out for a helmet and instead going with a gas mask, revealing neck length orange hair and a bionic eye.
By the time Ozpin had finished gathering appearances, they had finished with the Beowolves, one announced that it was the last of the Grimm, so he decided to make his presence known. Ozpin stepped out of the treeline and said: "That pack of Beowolves is most assuredly not the last of the Grimm."
All four of the Space Marines turned to face the voice, it was a man with silver hair, spectacles, dressed in a black and green suit, "Who are you." Cyrus said as he raised his Rifle to face the man, "I could ask you that same Question. You wake me up at the top of dawn and start shooting Grimm, while I do appreciate that, and am very impressed with your skill, maybe you should see who is the one with the higher advantage." Ozpin said, with a smirk on his face, Aramus could sense the tension in the conversation rising and took action.
"Peace Cyrus, there is no need for senseless violence against another human. Please, forgive him, we are not from this world. My name is Aramus of the Blood Ravens Space Marine Chapter, a group of elite warriors who serve the emperor of mankind. Now, could you tell us where my Battle Brothers and I are."
Ozpin let the smirk go and smiled, "You are on the planet Remnant, in the most western part of the continent of vale, just north of us is my school, Beacon academy in which I am it's headmaster, what you just fought were creatures of Grimm, this planet's resident pest in which we train the youth who are willing to fight them, at schools just like mine."
"Child soldiers? Sounds all too familiar to us, what kind of training to you provide?" Avitus asked through his helmet Tarkus cut him off "Answers for later, I have a feeling more of those Daemons are soon to be upon us if we stay out here any longer." Ozpin nodded and said, "Agreed, come with me, I have a safe place for you to stay in the meantime."
