(Batarian Slaver Ship, Fear Monger)
Commander Silan T'kilok was having a very bad day, he first saw a Whole Planet appear along with a fleet that made the Destiny Ascension look like a Frigate. Then, being the Batarian slaver he decided too attack said vessels, believing that they were primitive and he could gain some slaves from this new species. However, the moment they were about to attack, hundreds of boarding vessels came towards his ships and breached their hulls. But what truly terrified him was the fact that out of these boarding vessels, massive bipedal beasts in blood covered red armor charged in with what looked like metal blades. At first they thought they would be somewhat easy too dispatch, however this new species cut them down with their swords screaming like mad-men.
Then beings in blue and Yellow armor came into the battle and caused his men's heads to explode, or attack each other. Some of them charged in with metal blades as well. But others were stopping his troops bullets, and some of them were even firing them back at his men. While others shouted out orders to their men, these soldiers of theirs moved with efficiency, efficient like a machine, and they didn't respond back, they just continued to kill and incapacitate his men. He saw one of his soldiers charge forward with an assault rifle, only for his head to explode for no reason, and soon others followed in his wake, a few even shouting out how they can't stand the voices, a few of those who said this began firing on their former allies, or shooting themselves. Some of his troops attempted to charge at one of the beings in red armor, only for them to be cut down in two swift motions, and the only thing that did was make the giant in red armor even more angry, because then it charged at thirty of his troopers and jumped right in the center of their formation and cut of their heads in a rather brutal fashion.
He then saw a few of his biotics began to lose their powers and looked like a recruit with no experience, which resulted in them causing terrible explosions to his crew. Then he saw one of the enemy commanders fire a bright light at twenty of his slavers, only for them to start sweating blood, and a few of them suddenly had what looked like horrible mutations forming on them. Then he saw a few of his men attempt to send a distress message to the other ships, only for horrible sounds and what could only be identified as some form of music on the other end, then they suddenly started to die from the music. Then he saw what looked like a combination of flesh and machine walk up to a control panel, he began to speak to it and touch it, then suddenly the systems on the ship began to fail, all except life support and lighting. But what terrified him the most was apparently the leader, he was wielding a metal pole of some-kind, and he adorned a suit of blue and yellow armor.
His armor was likewise adorned with what looked like husks and teeth from an unknown animal from a backwater planet. But what truly terrified him about the leader was his eyes, they were blood-red. And he was walking calmly towards the bridge, knocking every one of his men that got in his way, only for them to be taken away by a few of the beings in blue and yellow armor, although it appeared that this being didn't have much if any command over the beings in blood-red armor. In fact these beings in red armor cut through everything in their path, and barely paid attention to the beings in blue and yellow armor. But what scared him the most about this monster other that it's eyes, was the fact that after this abomination ate the brain of one of his soldiers, then the being said in a cold commanding voice " Batarian slavers, I am giving you one chance to bow down to my forces, or else I shall let the World Eaters, slaughter every one of you. If you surrender I will let some of the Sorcerers and Dark Mechanicus, from the other legions experiment on you, while I shall see if you can be corrupted by the Ruinous Powers, decide quickly, the World Eaters are notorious for their blood-lust and short temper." The being said, before walking away and spoke to someone, he guessed over whatever they used for communications.
Silan thought over his options, he couldn't get in contact with his other ships, he couldn't send a distress message to the Hegemony, most of his crew was either incapacitated or killed, and he only had a few seconds to surrender or be killed, because he actually feel the blood-lust radiating from the warriors in red, and now that he looked closer he could also see skulls of all things adorning their armor! He knew that he had to surrender his ships, and besides these 'Ruinous Powers' were likely just some gods they prey to and believe it gives them power. And he had been tortured before after all, and he didn't crack, so what could this new race possibly do to him? "Fine, I surrender you cowards, but you will regret it once the rest of my fleet arrives!" He screamed before he felt a presence in his mind, then all he knew was darkness.
( Bridge Of Mortal's Bane) " I trust that these vessels have been detained and there crews captured for sacrifices?" Eliphas asked Ahriman over the communications channel. " Yes, Eliphas there crews have been captured, but why did you have to send me with the World Eaters, I would have captured more alive if you sent me members of the Alpha Legion, or the Iron Warriors, I would have even settled for Black Legionaries, but the World eaters killed almost everyone on the ships, and some of the slaves, and I also now have to deal with the Children, they seem to have taken an interest in a race called the 'Asari' who seem Humanoid, and were described by residents of this galaxy as' breathtakingly beautiful' And I want the captives brought back to the ships, not toys for the Children, or sacrifices for the World Eaters, they will get their slaughter soon, but keep them in check!" Ahriman said, before cutting the transmission. Eliphas was both angry and impressed, from the reports he was receiving they had not taken a single causality, not even among the traitor guardsmen. He was mainly angry at the way Ahriman talked back to him, but Ahriman was a powerful sorcerer, if Eliphas attacked him Ahriman would have a hundred means to counter-attack, and likely win. But also because he knew Khorne was likely unhappy, for his enemies are supposed to be at least passable warriors, even the Imperial Guard was stronger than this, Khorne would not be pleased, and he would no doubt order the extermination of these species, after all Khorne demands blood, and he also prefers it from at least fearless foes, these cowards just surrendered without much of a fight.
Slaanesh would be interested in these 'Asari' and from other reports he received it seems these ships were also transporting Drugs and outlawed Alcohol. He also noticed how they were also transporting some artifacts for a high value client, although from what the Sorcerer's probing of the crew's minds showed that the client doesn't happen to know what the item in question is. This could prove a valuable opportunity, for he happened to carry a large amount of copies of the books of Lorgar, complete with a special blessing from Tzeentch, so the text will show the text in the language of the species reading it, this would give him a large amount of zealots to throw at the enemy, then he could send in his Chaos Space Marines, yes these species here were highly expendable, in fact the Traitor Guardsmen might even get a break! " LoRD EliPhAs, WE HaVE FouND aN UnKNown OBJecT On THe SurFAce OF The PLAnEt!" A Chaos Space Marine informed Eliphas.
"Report back to me you have more information, until then don't bother me with such petty information. It matters not though we still must push forward on the planet, just make sure it's claimed in the name of Chaos!" Eliphas explained before going to his chamber.
( Hidden Library, Tzeentch's point of view)
Ah such a wonderful Mortal day, Russ was trying to get to the Planet Of The Sorcerer's again, and I keep sending him to a world devoted to Khorne, then he slaughters he planet in the name of his Emperor, and it repeats every twenty to thirty years, why Russ keeps trying to win is beyond me, he hasn't won this game once, and Magnus was much more powerful than he was during the burning of Prospero. But then again Russ was still a Mortal, and they do have emotions. But it was mainly a good day for me for one reason, Eliphas has heard of the Artifact I left for him on the planet, and the Dark Mechanicus would no doubt be pleased beyond their wildest Mortal dreams. Of course I never tell the other gods of my plan, because Nurgle tries to unravel them, Slaanesh doesn't listen, Khorne just screams about needing more blood and hating Sorcery and plans, well come to think of it I think he has a tendency to have a lack of intelligence in his plans. Then there is Malal just wants anarchy in general, so he's just as bad to tell plans to. But if my plan works then Abaddon won't be messing up my plans any longer. Plus Creed just beat another one of his remaining Black Legion bands on Cadia, and Abaddon was screaming his head off again!
