The Sith Master watched his apprentice as she tore through the jungle of the death world, her crimson blade slashing its way through anything living. Taken from her own timeline, the red skin Twi'lek was busy dealing with the death world's carnivorous fauna. Her Sith tattoos shone slightly in the oppressive binary suns that beat down upon the jungle world, but the Master didn't feel it. He watched from the shadows, which felt like stepping into a blizzard. The alien woman, a pinnacle of what the female body could look like, was panting as she paused to take a breath. He smirked to himself, while she was over ten thousand years old, she still had much to learn and train for in this unforgivable galaxy.

"Master," She hissed in Twi'la, a variation of the Twi'lek language, "Why are we on this Hell forsaken planet?!"

"Quite simple, my apprentice," He said, motioning to the space behind her, "To test your skills against those who live on this planet before we move onto our main goal."

"Of course," She hissed, but with relish of delight, "more Imperium scum to slaughter."

He nodded before the brush was slashed away, revealing three of the hardened Imperium soldiers of the planet. All of them had a commando look to them, one even looking savage with his eyes looking like feline slits. The crimson blade of her lightsaber glowed darkly in the light before it came around, spinning and whirling as it deflected the lasgun shots into the jungle. The one shooting at her rushed forward, continuing to fire his lasgun. He clearly hoped to overwhelm her with the full auto, but his apprentice had seen that coming. Her blade deflected them all before she decapitated the Imperial Guardsman with a single stroke.

The other two took offense to the death of their comrade, charging at his apprentice at full tilt. In the end, both lay in pieces at her feet as she panted. Her huge chest shaking with each breath taken as he stepped out into the suns, his armor glinting as the suns slowly set. Placing a hand on her shoulder, the Dark Side or as it was known in this galaxy; The Darkness, wrapped around them.

"It is time for one final test, my apprentice."


Sister Kathrynius Kattos, head of the Order Militarius of the Adepta Sororitas arm of the Militarium, looked out over the radioactive snowbound wastelands of the planet Krieg. She had been here a decade or more since the current Imperial Regent of ten millennia, Magnus the Red, had created the Order Militarius. Of course, Magnus had created the Order Miltarius to help protect the highest tithe paying planets. This included Krieg, as she stood upon the surface of the radioactive planet. Thankfully, the radiation had lessened to the point where Sisters of Battle could walk upon the surface without the need of a helmet or other specialized gear but she kept hers close anyway.

The Krieg officer, Omega-453-I, walked up and saluted her, "Sister Kathrynius, we are ready to begin the live training of the 1,311,856th regiment."

The Sister nodded her head, "Let it begin then, the best shall stand and survive through the grace of the Emperor."

Omega voxed the main office and the sounds of lasguns began, as the war games or "training", started. This training session was culling those that were not meant to be in the warzone until one side started going quiet. The snow was blowing up, as red lights raced across it before there was a scream across the vox. The storm suddenly was stilled before it was blown apart, showing two robed figures in black that carried blades of red energy. Kathrynius felt her mouth drop open as the robes fell away to show a striking female red and black skinned Xeno and standing next to her was a fully armored being.

His armor was something that Sister Kathrynius thought a follower of Khorne would wear until the two charged the front lines. The red blades spun and whirled as the lasguns fired upon them, bolts being deflected either back at their source or into the soldiers behind the ones that fired at them. Kathyrnius pulled her Bolt pistol from her hip and fired off three shots; they never connected. They were stopped mid-flight then hurled right back at her, two being deflected while the third buried itself into her side then exploded. She cried out as her side was blown out and she was sent into the trench below. Her pain overwhelmed her senses, as Omega jumped down next to her to drag her into the depths of Krieg.


Darth Imperius's blade decapitated the Krieg soldier that stood before him in the trench, as his fellow soldiers aimed their lasguns at him to try in vain to kill him. His blade carved through soldier after soldier as he brought death amongst them, the soldiers of Krieg either running to get better cover or at him to kill him. His crimson blade was nothing but a whirling death sentence, as bodies started piling up in the trench. Their smell muted as he leapt over a commanding officer before decapitating another Krieg with a single swipe. Deflecting a few more bolts from the lasguns back into their senders, Darth Imperius raised his empty hand and sent bolts of Force lightning into the trench ahead of himself. The lightning tore through the soldiers, webs of energy torching the Krieg into smoking corpses that only added to the pile of the dead.

The Darkness alerted him to a threat from behind, allowing Imperius to spin around and catch the Power Sword before it could besect him. He grinned under his helmet, as he looked at the Commissar.

"It seems my weapon may have found a worthy match, Commissar," Imperius hissed as he called upon the Darkness, "yours."

The Commissar snarled, "By the Emperor, I'll cut you down, Warp Spawn."

"That's nice," Imperius blasted the Commissar away before leaping at him, "let see if you can keep your promise."

The blades danced, leaving sparks as they connected and flashed. Crimson battled Blue as the two combatants moved through the trench, bodies only adding themselves to the already massive piles that were growing in number. The two paused before Imperius noticed the Power Sword flicker and that made him grin. The Energy that protected the blade couldn't keep the heat from being applied over and over to the blade itself, causing the blade to warp out of its aligned shape. In a few moments, the energy shield would fail and leave the Commissar without a weapon to fight.

"You have fought well, Commissar of the Imperium," The Sith Lord said before pressing his blade into the Commissar's, having pushed him into the muddy wall, "Now you die, like the rest of your failing Imperium."

The Commissar's eyes grew wide as his blade was cut, the lightsaber stabbing him through the chest as the Sith Lord pulled his blade free. In the end, Darth Imperius smirked before marching his way towards the darkness of the planet of Krieg. Death awaited him there.


Talon snarled as she cut her way through the underground factories and facilities that was the Krieg homeworld, her blade leaving the dead in her wake as she continued her path towards the main reactor core of this sector. With it gone, the Krieg would be facing a crisis that would either kill them or leave them in a situation that they'd never recover from. Krieg Death Corp continued their relentless charge after her as their screams filled the recycled air, Talon gave them no heed as she left them as nothing more then bodies or body parts on the ground. Her disgust with the Imperium had only grown over the many millenia under her Master's tutelage, the Imperium of Man was a blight upon the Galaxy that needed to be exterminated.

Her blade slashed through the body of a woman and her baby, leaving the parts to collapse to the ground as she blasted her way into the reactor room. Looking at the core, she let the Dark Side fill her before reaching out with the tendrils just as her Master taught her. Talon smirked as she saw the most delicate components in her mind before unleashing the Darkness in a torrent of Sith Lightning, nearly blinding white fingers of Dark Side power slammed into the reactor. The energy tearing through it as though it wasn't even there, alarms started going off as lights flashed in a cacophony of noise.

She pushed those noises out, as she powered everything into her attack. Finally, the reactor started to reach critical mass before starting to explode. Talon ended her attack before smiling to herself, turning on her heel and marching out of the reactor core chamber as it continued to build up energy and was collapsing in on itself. By the time she and her Master left this radioactive rock, the Imperium as well as the Krieg would have been dealt a critical blow to their wartime production. As she left, the planet of Krieg would feel one of the few reactor cores it ever got destroy itself. The ground shook as it unleashed energy into the surrounding metal, caverns and lives of those underneath the surface.

As Talon stepped back onto the surface, she felt all but a small percentage of the population of this planet escape death.
