This Chapter takes place after Chapter 5, but during the whole waiting period, since Ships in 40k usual take a while to arrive at a location. If you know what I mean. Just saying to clear up things before you begin reading.

Chapter 6 - Rescue Mission (Pt.1)

Craftworld Ulthwé

Farseer Taldeer opened her eyes as she returned from her visions back to the real world. For the past few days her visions were clouded and foggy, something that she found baffled about. It wasn't until a few minutes ago, that the divination of Time, once clouded and foggy became clear again, and the possible future appeared before her eyes and it was then that she saw it.

A planet, with a large massive continent.

In the northernmost of the planet, stood her and her Eldar brethren fighting against the Space Marines of the Blood Ravens. She could see herself fighting alongside a young man in light battle armor, wielding both a red energy blade, in the shape of a greatsword, and a large pitch black staff that fired bolts of green energy at the charging Marines, shredding through their Ceramite armor. She could see her Brethren, fighting side by side with soldiers in unidentifiable armor, towering over them were four legged walkers and in the air, a diversity of Fighters. Also fighting amongst them as well were other Space Marines surprising enough. These Space Marines were clad in black and gold armor, with the symbol of a golden roaring lion on their shoulder armor, and their helmets were shaped like the heads of Lions.

She had not been expecting something like this to be the future she had forseen but from said vision, the man that she saw in it, would be a key person of upmost importance in the future, and also to her race.

Sighing, she went off to the Seer Council to tell them of what she saw, and also prepare for another future event that she also saw as well.

Ultear System, Imperium Space, Segmentum Ultima

Captain Luther Henderson watched in horror as his last escort; a Tempest-Class Frigate waa destroyed. Its It's main core going critical and engulfing the once proud Imperial vessel, turning it into nothing more than a twisted wreck. The perpetrators of the Frigate's destruction soared past it without a care, giving chase to his vessel through the starry night.

Pirates. Traitorous Soldiers of the Imperium, now aligned with the Forces of Chaos. Commanding a Single Desolator-Class Battleship escorted by 5 Idolator Raiders and 3 Murder-Class Cruisers, they had ambushed his small fleet; which consisted of a single Carrier ship and was supported by 3 Cobra-Class Destroyers and 2 Tempest-Class Frigate.

They managed to destroy 2 Idolators and nearly crippled a Murder, but this wasn't enough to stop them. All of their Cobra-Class Destroyers were destroyed and his remaining Tempest was destroyed whilst the other Frigate was also crippled just like his Carrier ship Battlecruiser. They are now prone to boarding and it won't be long till they launch their boarding parties.

"Captain! They're launching Boarding parties!" one of his deck officers shouted. And just like that, typical of Chaos Pirates. He gritted his teeth.

"Prepare to defend the ship!" He ordered "And get the civilians into emergency shelters now!"

The reason why they were even here in the first place is that they were forced to evacuate from their Homeworld of Ultear III, in the Ultear System located at the fringes of the Ultima Segmentum. Their world had come under assault from a Tyranid Hive Fleet. The PDF, or Planet Defense Forces, along with a garrisoned Imperium Regiment; the 76th Shock Troops Regiment tried to defend the world from the invaders, but their strength weren't enough to repel the World eaters from their world. Many of the lucky civilians that managed to get onto the transport escaped the planet, as it was being consumed of life by the hungry Tyranids.

The ship that he is using is ancient, dating back to the days of the Horus Heresy. It was not made for war, but was a Colonisation Ship; spanning the same length as an Emperor-Class Battleship, but carries less weaponry, sacrificing weapons for more space in order to house a total of 6,870 Men, Women and Children onboard the ancient shuttle. The Carrier can carry more than that, up to nearly 10,000, but 5 million people died trying to reach the Capital to be evacuated off world, and only 6,870 lives were saved out of the 5 million.

"This is Sergeant Banner of 4th Platoon! Enemies landed in Hanger 3! We need reinforcements!"Luther could only listen as the reports began filing into the bridge. All over, guardsmen report of their positions nearly and starting to become overruned."Assault Claws! They got Assault Claws at the Portside and the Mess hall! We need-gah!""By the Emperor! They have a-! *Brrrrrrrrr!* Gaaahh!""This is 1st Platoon! They've breached the 3rd Level! Seal the 3rd level quickly!""Admiral!" Luther's Vox Officer said, gaining his attention "They're hacking into the Communication line!"

"This is Sergeant Banner, I say again! Hanger has been- BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!- We need help now!"

"Hanger 5 has been lost! We're moving to -KILL! MAIN! BURN!-"

"The Med room's gone! They're heading for- DIE LIKE THE WORTHLESS-! -This is Darth Karna of Executor-Class Calamity, can anyone hear me?- We need help!""Sir!" One of the Vox Operators said suddenly with hope in his eyes "That last transmission came from outside the ship!"

"What!" Said the Captain. He walked over to the officer like a madman and grabbed the mic from thr stunned officer's hands. "This is Captain Luther Henderson! Over!"

About time" Spoke Karna from the other end of the Communication line "I was beginning to think everyone's dead already""Yes, yes, oh thank the Emperor yes," he cried. "We are under heavy assault by Chaos traitor vessels, need immediate assistance, over!" He didn't care who these people were, they could be the damned Tau for all he cared, as long as they got those traitorous monsters off his ship.

"Right. We'll be there to assist""When!" He shouted at the mic

"Look to your view Captain. Hope you don't get a heart attack"

Luther did just that and when he did he dropped the mic in total shock. looming over them was massive monstrosity of a ship, the ship dwarfed even the largest of the Imperium's ships. Its large sleek wedge shape cast a shadow over the smaller chaos frigates and the ship housed a numerous amount of weapon batteries all pointing down at the Traitor Frigates. Soon a massive volley of green energy gisgorged from the batteries as it streaked forward, quickly cutting the distance between the vessel and the Smaller Chaos frigates. One Idolator Raider which sustained damage from earlier was instanlty blasted out of the sky as it erupted into flames and smoke, further away another Idolator was crippled in half by the intense volley of the batteries.

As he watched the devestationunfold Luther could also see more and more ships, smaller in size, but also share a similar design to the massive ship also appeared out of the blue and began also firing their weapons. One Victory-Class Star Destroyer named the Hailstorm fired a volley of Rockets at a Murder-Class Frigate, punching a hole into the vessel's starboard side.

Calamity

"The Enemy's Desolator-Class is moving to engage us" Admiral Kaen told his emperor "As well as the remaining enemy frigates"

"Concentrate fire on their Battleship" Karna ordered his Admiral "And prepare our Gunships and Atmospheric assault Landers. Have them at the standby, and launch all Fighters. "They have my word to engage"

"Yes my lord"

The Turbolasers that were targeting the already destroyed Idolator Raider pivoted themselves to the Desolator-Class Battleship. They seem to not do anything before firing bolts of green energy at the Chaos Battleship, the Void shields of the enemy ship seemed to hold for a few seconds before disappearing completely, allowing the rest of the many bolts to start shredding the armor of the Battleship.

Hanger 2, Calamity

Clone Pilot, CT-4589 or "Sev" was a renown pilot of the 77th Imperial Legion or also called the DarkSaber Legion. He had been through many combat missions from the days of the Chaos-Sith Wars to the recent Second Necro-Sith Wars, and had scored a remarkable killstreak during his time as pilot. Because of this, he was awarded a modified version of the standard TIE/Defender, a product of the Sith Empire's policy and doctrine of "Quantity over Quality" and "Rapid-paste Adaptability". The TIE/Defender was created during the Necron's awakening in the early days of the Second Necro-Sith Wars. It contained great quality shielding, Titanium hull with Quadanium steel solar panels for energy to fuel the ship, 4 laser cannons, 2 medium ion cannons, 2 warhead launchers and a tractor beam, which is optional.

Sev's modified version contained a Tractor beam, but instead of Ion Cannons, it has Disintigrator cannons, and the standard warheads were replaced with specialised warheads; RX-48 Seismic Piercing Warheads, that instead of impacting upon the hull of a ship they drill into the hull of a ship until they drilled into the deep interior of the ship, and then it explodes, releasing a sonic charge of Basadium and Collapsing Gas. Normal standard Shieldings were not only still implimented but also another type of shielding was added; experimental Particle Shielding, which was intended of deflecting physical ammunition e.g bullets.

"Sev!" Someone called out to the Elite Pilot. Sev turned around to see his fellow squadmate and brother, Axel running up towards him "You ready?"

Sev nodded "Always ready" He glanced behind Axel at the TIE/Aggresor that belongs to said squadmate "You?"

"Yep" Axel answered "Just waiting on Jackal and then we can launch"

"Right then" He began scaling up the ladder that leads up onto his craft "Lets do this then"

30 seconds after the order was issued, and the first mass diversity wave of Starfighters; Supremacy-Class Mk. VIII, TIE/Defenders, TIE/Aggressors, TIE/Oppressors, TIE/Punishers, and TIE/Hunters swarmed out of the Imperial ships and sped towards the Pirate's vessel.

The Chaos Renegades responded with launching their own fighters; launching their Swiftdeath fighters at the incoming swarm of fighters.

"All Crafts report in" Admiral Kaen ordered.

"This is Cinder Leader Standing by" Sev spoke, piloting his modified TIE/Defender

"This is Blade Leader, standing by" Axel spoke, piloting his TIE/Aggressor

"This is Saber Leader, ready" Another Clone pilot named Jaguar spoke, piloting a TIE/Hunter

"This is Phantom Leader, standing ready" Another Clone Pilot named Odd-Eyes spoke, piloting a Supremacy-Class Mk. VIII

"Good to see ya here Oddsy!" Jackal, who was with Axel spoke through the line.

"You too Jackal" Odd Eyes responded with a chuckle

"If we make it out alive, free cups on me!" Jackal added

"Yeah yeah" Odd eyes chuckled "The usual?"

"Yeah"

"Here they come everyone" Sev told them as his sensors picked up incoming enemy fighters "Swiftdeaths. Not to be taken lightly"

"Yeah no shit" Tempest, a Clone Piloting a TIE/Defender said

"Here we go everyone!" Sev announced, pushing down the controls of his ship "Accelerate to attack speed!"

The battle has begun.

END

Took me a while to make this chapter, but anyways let me know what you think about it. The Sith take one step closer to the Kronus Campaign, and ultimately revealing themselves to the rest of the Galaxy.

But not yet, before that the Renegades must gather before they can do anything.
