I do not own Warhammer. I only own my OC
The Reader walks into the archives of the Slims. As soon as the reader steps in he was greeted by bolter fire. The reader rushes to cover as the bolter rounds sail past the reader.
"Kill the heretic!" one of the inquisitors yelled.
*blam*Blam*Blam*
Suddenly a person joins the reader behind the same cover the reader was using.
"Was up." Slim A Lou Prime said with a smile. "As you can see the inquisition is after me because of this story. Here take this." Slim A Lou Prime gives the reader a holovid. "That's the next holovid to the Warhammer story. I will teleport you to a safe part of the ship. I WILL DEAL WITH THEM." Slim A Lou Prime finished as he teleported the reader to a safe part of the ship.
The reader stands up and looks around. The reader was now in some kind of lobby with an assortment of foods on a nearby counter. The reader decides the food can wait and activates the holovid.
"How do you skin a Dark Eldar you ask? Well the answer is quite easy. First You take said dark Eldar and strap it to a table. Then take a normal Eldar, give it a knife, and promise it to give it back its Soul Stone if it skins it's Dark kin alive. Hehe. You'd be surprised how many do it." - A member of the Eldar Vanators of the Sons Of Library.
Wolfgang's eye's began twitching then opened. He slowly sat up and looked around to see he was in his ship's medbay. All of his armor was gone along with his weapons and helmet, the only thing on him was his black skin tight suit. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood.
"Rosa are you there?" he asked his AI partner.
Rosa appeared on the bed next to him. "Wolfgang your awake." She said happily.
Wolfgang gave her a smile and looked around. "Who's in stasis?" he ask walking over to the pod.
"A Steiner preserver, which so happens to be a knight pilot as well." She said appearing on Wolfgang's shoulder.
Wolfgang walked back over to the bed he was on and picked up his black jacket and put it on. "How's my armor?" he asked walking out of the medbay.
"Being cleaned and repaired." Rosa answered him.
"What about the Eldar?" he asked a little bit more seriously.
"She is taking a shower in the room she choose to claim. By the way it's the one next to yours." She answered a little unhappy about the Eldar being on board with them.
"I know you don't like having the Eldar but I think we can get something out of this." He said smiling as he made his way to the bridge.
"And how are we going to get something out of this?" She asked.
"Simple when he drop her off at whatever Eldar ship we find when we go to Uncle's place, I'll talk to the Eldar while you will hack into their systems and get the location of one of their Webway portals. We leave, send the location to a nearby fleet and collect the reward. Now let's get ready for takeoff" Wolfgang Finished.
"I would love to follow that order but." Rosa said quietly.
Wolfgang stopped. "Rosa is there something you're not telling me?"
"Well I was going to tell you but you just got up and you know."
Wolfgang look at her. "Just tell me."
"Well the Steiner AI told me that there were Dark Eldar," Wolfgang fist closed at the mention of them. "And me knowing your feeling on them, I didn't want you to go running off after them just to kill them."
A feeling of puzzlement entered Wolfgang's mind as his anger spiked.
"Killing those bastards is just a bonus. I go after them because I have a chance to save people from a fate worse than death." Wolfgang snapped.
Rose looked down.
Wolfgang sighed. "I'm sorry Rosa. I didn't mean to snap. I Just miss him."
"I know." Rosa said putting a hand on his cheek.
Wolfgang turned around and started toward the vehicle bay. As Wolfgang walked down the hall he felt the same presence on his mind again, this time it was trying to comfort him. He tried to block the presence but no matter how hard he tried he could not get rid of the feeling. With this presence it was starting to become harder and harder to remain angry at the Dark Eldar. That would not stand. He needed that hate to power him. To drive him to hunt them down and burn them whenever they popped up. His hand was starting to relax. No matter how hard he tried he could not ball it again out of anger. Sighing he gave up resisting and let his anger go.
Wolfgang entered the vehicle bay to see his knight under repair. Mechanical arms moving around his knight removing armor, weapons, and other parts that were damaged.
"Rosa what did you do to yourself?" he said moving over to his knight.
Rosa appeared on the railing with a holographic terminal in front of her. "I was saving your sorry butt."
"How long until your ready to go?" he asked leaning on the railing.
"Four days they got my ion shield I need to build another." She said as she worked.
Wolfgang walked over to the Steiner knight. The Steiner Knight was painted blue with the exception of its shoulder plate and its shield being white. Its secondary was steely and a tad bit gloss. Its shield and banner sported the House Steiner crest, which was a blue fist facing upwards in a rebellious fashion.
Just from looking at it Wolfgang could tell it was a Crusader-class Freedom knight. Sporting its twin Avenger Gatling Cannon and its anti-air cannons on top, along with a stubber for good measure. Like all knights it also had a ion shield for stopping those more dangerous heavy weapons used to damage a knight.
As Wolfgang approached the Steiner knight he could hear it beginning its power up procedures.
"Are you the Pilot of the Rose Freedom Knight?" The Steiner knight's AI asked.
"I am." Wolfgang answered back. "Can I ask what you are here for?"
"I am here to gain your assistance in the reclaiming of house Steiner supplies from the Dark Eldar."
"Where's your ship?"
"Destroyed." He answered angrily.
"I see. I will help you retake your supplies but my knight is damaged so it well be me, you, and a ship full of Dark Eldar."
"It is but a Corsair-class. The rest of its fleet was destroyed by a Blood Raven battle-fleet."
"I see. Well we should leave as soon as possible." Wolfgang said as he made his way toward the armory.
As Wolfgang made it halfway to the armory he was stopped by a familiar someone.
"When are we taking off?" the Eldar ranger asked/demanded.
"There has been a change of plans. I have one more thing to do on this plant before we leave." Wolfgang said walking past her.
The Eldar followed him. "And what would that be?"
"I need to reclaim Items from your dark cousins."
"Drukhari?! When did they get here?" she asked almost yelling.
"I don't know but they have something that they shouldn't, so I'm going to get it back." He said walking into the armory. The door to the armory closed in the Eldar's face. Wolfgang smirked and went to arm himself.
The armory was a large room. Along the right wall were plasma weapons of various types. Pistols in one rack, shotguns on another, heavy weapons, sniper rifles, submachine guns. Hell there were even a few bolters. On the left wall were stimpaks, pain killers, stims, and all the ammunition to last one three lifetimes. On the fair side of the room was a gray circle which hid mechanical arms around it to equip or de-equip armor.
First Wolfgang was going to need his armor back. He walked over to the grey circle and stretched out his arms. The floor panels and side walls opened up to various armor types as well as mechanical arms to service Wolfgang's needs.
"Loadout two." Wolfgang spoke.
The mechanical arms began to move. Taking out armor parts from their racks and placing them on Wolfgang. In a matter of sounds Wolfgang was wearing his armor again. But this time it was heavier than normal. More armor plates add to his torso, legs, and arms. Some of the mechanical arms moved down to the weapon racks and pulled out a heavy plasma rifle. The arms moved back over to Wolfgang and placed it on his person, the magnetic locks securing it to his armor. Wolfgang held out his hands and two of the arms placed Wolfgang's pistols in his hands. Wolfgang gave them a spin then holstered them on his thighs.
The arms retracted, along with the armor racks, back into the wall. Wolfgang turned and walked over to the left side of the room to stock up on supplies he would need. First he grabbed a lot of powerful painkillers, then he grabbed the ammunition for his weapons. Once he was all done Wolfgang made his way out of the armory and headed for the vehicle bay. Well he would have if the Eldar was not standing in front of the door with a pissed off expression on her face.
Wolfgang looked at her. "The hologram did it." He said as he tried to scoot past her but was stopped when her hand shot past right by his head and into the wall blocking his escape.
"We do not have time to run around this plant." She said with venom.
"You know you're kinda cute when you're angry." Wolfgang smirked.
"W-what?" she said surprised. Wolfgang saw her muscles relax. Seeing his opportunity he stuck.
Wolfgang grabbed her arm and spun. Sending her into the wall. He then moved her arm behind her back and lifted it until she grunted in pain.
"One, do not let your guard down around me. Two, The only reason you're alive is because of the goodness of my heart. Three, This is my ship we leave when I'm good and ready. And four, you used the men's shampoo the girls is on the right." Wolfgang said to her.
"I should've killed you when I had the chance." She growled back. "I shall not make the same mistake twice."
Wolfgang snorted and threw her away from him. She stumbled back and got into a fighting stance.
"leave if you want, I could care less, but I'm going after the Dark Elves." he Said walking away.
"What is that word you keep using?! We are Eldar not this Elves!" She yelled at him.
"Human thing you'd never understand." Wolfgang shot back.
Wolfgang heard her yell at him but he could barely hear her. Something about Mon-keigh being foolish and that there was nothing the Eldar could not understand but he did not care. When Wolfgang made it to the hanger he jumped on top of the Steiner knight. The Steiner knight started out of the hanger and headed toward the north.
The knight was moving a walking speed, looking back and forth for targets as he walked.
"So how long have you and your pilot been away from reach?" Wolfgang asked he sat up against the anti-air cannon trying to catch a few Z's but failing do so do to the walkers movements. Which was odd for him since he could sleep just about anywhere.
"We have been or deployment for four weeks so far." The knight's AI answered.
"I say we have been deployed for about six weeks last time I checked." Wolfgang said cracking his fingers.
"This planet was your last stop before returning to Reach wasn't it?"
"Yup. But since I picked up that Eldar we will need to make a few more stops." Wolfgang said standing up.
"The Eldar is on the ship… unwatched?" The AI asked a little worried.
"Of course not. Rosa is still on the ship and the bridged is in lockdown." Wolfgang reassured him.
The Knight started to pick up the pace. His walking tuned into jogging. Two hours had passed and the duo came to a mountain. The Knight made its way through a large cave until he came to a stop just as the cave opened up into a ginormous cavern. Wolfgang jumped down from the knight and drew his plasma rifle.
In the center of the cavern was a Dark Eldar ship with Prisoner cages all around it. Dark Eldar warriors and Wyches patrols all over the place. Wolfgang used his scope to see who was in the cages. The majority were guardsman and tau. There were also a lot of civilians in cages of their own. But what caught Wolfgang's attention were the two cages of Blood ravens.
"Here's the plan I'm going to fire on the space marine cages." Wolfgang said to the Steiner Knight. "Then you're going to rush in and draw as much attention away from me while I will get aboard that ship and look for the supplies. Try and damage the engines while you're at it."
The Knight nodded and got into passion.
Wolfgang drew his heavy plasma rifle and took aim at the cage pylons. Taking a deep breath he pulled the trigger. The green Plasma raced toward their target. Striking the pylon melting through the armor with ease. By the time the fourth round hit the pylons it was already destroyed. Wolfgang began spraying the plasma back and forth hitting more pylons. The Dark Eldar that were guarding the cages started to rush his position. But they were meet with forty feet for hulking pure adamantium.
The Knight's gatling cannon tore through the Dark Eldar leavening behind bits of flesh and bones. The knight started to move deeper into the cavern firing all of its guns like a trigger happy child. By the time the cage pylons broke down and the space marines were free. They started to engage the Dark Eldar in close combat, while others started to free other captives.
While the battle got under way Wolfgang started to sneak around the two fighting forces and make his way to the Dark Eldar warship. Once he was under the ship Wolfgang used his grappling hook to get access to the ship's upper hull. Once in position Wolfgang asked the Steiner Knight to make an opening in the warship. The Knight in response loaded armor-piercing rounds and unloaded into the side of the Dark Eldar ship's hull. In a matter of seconds the was a large hole in the side of the Eldar ship. Thanking the Knight Wolfgang made his way inside the ship. Wolfgang made his way down the dark hallways of the vessel, his shotgun drawn. Knowing the layout of these vassals Wolfgang made his way toward the Prisoner cells, most likely the most valuable prisoners would be on board the ship.
"There is a Mon-keigh walker attacking the ship." Wolfgang heard a female Dark Eldar say.
"Is it the same one from last time?" another asked.
"Yes. the Archon has order all forces to go fight it." The first one answered.
Wolfgang pulled out a plasma grenade and waited for the two to get close. They turned the corner and stopped to see Wolfgang standing there with the grenade in his hand. The two went wide eyed as Wolfgang threw the grenade at the females head. The grenade met its mark and stuck the females head and began it's three second countdown. The female tried frantically to get the grenade off her head but it was no use she was already dead. The grenade exploded, turning the female dark Eldar into a steaming pile of flesh. The other dark Eldar escaped with a third degree burn on his right arm. Wolfgang closed the distance between the two of them and killed the Dark Eldar before he could recover.
The rest of the of way was uneventful as much of the crew were outside trying to fight the knight and the prisoners. The only people Wolfgang ran into were the slave crew of the ship, which he freed, but they were still scared shitless of him. Wolfgang made it to the prison cell door. He drew his pistols and got ready to fight. Wolfgang opened the door and quickly scanned the room for hostiles. Seeing the room was clear he moved into the room. His eyes went wide when he saw who occupied them. Eldar, a lot of them about ten in each cell. He counted about fifty Eldar, three of which were children. They all looked at him with hatred in their eyes. As Wolfgang made his way down he found something that he never expected to find… a space marine, without his armor.
The Marine had jet back hair, his skin a dark white tone, and his eyes brown. He looked bigger than the average space marine and had a sharp horn coming out of his head. Wolfgang recognized the chapter this marine was from just from the sight of the horn. This marine was a Black Dragon.
He was sitting in the fair corner of the cell alone. He looked up as Wolfgang walked over to the cell. Looking him up and down.
"You are not from the Imperium are you." The Space marine said in deep commanding voice.
"No I am not. But I am human." Wolfgang said to him. If he played his cards right he could get this space marine to join him. Imperial space marines were not very common on Reach but they were a good twenty that he knew about. A salamander, a flew space wolves, and some ultramarines. But having a space marine run with a preserver as an active member of his or her crew was a very rare thing. So seeing his chance to get a space marine to possible join him or even owe him was an opportunity he could not pass up.
The Maine stood up and walked over to the cell bars and rested his hands arm them. "Do you work for the Xenos?" he asked me.
"No." he said vary sternly. "I enjoy killing Dark Eldar were ever I find them. But I am here to rescue as many people I can from them as possible."
The Marine started at him for a moment then spoke. "You said you are not from the Imperium then from where do you hail?"
Wolfgang was going to take a big risk by doing this but he need to if he was going to get this space marine to join him. "I come from a plant called Reach. We have yet to be discovered by the Imperium but we do not see any need to join them."
The space marine gave him a hard look. "what are you people's level in the medical field?" he asked with a slight hint of hope in his voice.
Wolfgang smiled behind his helmet. This marine was with the Dark Eldar for who knows how long. The dark Eldar could of experimented on him. Like removing his extendible bones. If he was asking for Reaches medical level, which was much better than that of the Imperium, then he could be longing to get something back the Dark Eldar took from him.
"Very high." Wolfgang answered him.
"And your peoples opinion of Xenos?" He asked glaring at him.
"We kill them if their hostile, steal from them if their neutral, and help them if they are friendly." Wolfgang answered. The truth was going to come out sooner or later so he might as well tell him from the get go.
The marine looked a little displeased by his answerer but did not make a move. "What about people of the Imperium? What do you do to them?" He asked.
"If they want a better life then we offer them a place on Reach. They are allowed to worship the Emperor if they like, just not to cause any trouble because of it. If not then we return them to an Imperium world."
The marine seem satisfied with this answer. He then look to the Eldar in the other cells. "What do you plan to do with them?"
Then some of the Eldar that could hear our chat came to the bars to listen to his answer.
"The Eldar on this planet were defeated by the imperial guard." Some of the Eldar sneered at the news that they were beaten. "I ran across a survivor from their stronghold. She was attack by a daemon, which I killed." The marine smiled at the news of the daemons defeat. "I decided to take her back to the nearest Eldar fleet. So why not bring them along too."
The marine stepped away from the cell bar and turned around. Wolfgang heard him whisper a prayer to the Emperor. After he was done he walked back and said. "The Xenos' leader is down the hall. She is most likely being tortured as we speak. If you save her you might get the Xenos to come with you. Then you will go to the next cell room. In it are five human children there, rescue them as well then let me out." He said walked back to the back of the cell and sitting down.
"Don't you want out now?" Wolfgang asked tilting his head.
"If you live I will come with you. I would like to see this world you speak off." He said then closed his eyes.
Wolfgang stepped back from the cell door and looked around. Almost all of the Eldar were looking at him. He turned and proceeded to do what the marine told him to do. As Wolfgang walked down the hall way he could hear the sound of someone screaming. He started to jog towards the sound. He arrived at a door that looked to be locked. He could hear the screaming clearly now. Wolfgang placed a door breach on the door lock.
'setting breach charge.' He thought to himself. 'clear.'
The small explosive started to beep rapidly until it exploded a few seconds later. The door opened and Wolfgang tossed in a flashbang. The other room was filled with a bright white light for an instance then faded. Wolfgang rushed in weapons drawn. A haemonculus was on the floor covering his eyes and cursing in the Eldar Language. Wolfgang leveled Deliverance then pulled the trigger. The haemonculus just opened his eyes as the bullet tore through his head.
Wolfgang holstered his weapons and jogged over to the Eldar who was tied down to a table. He pulled a lever that released the Eldar. The Eldar had jet black hair and ,once he opened her eyes to see if they would retract, green eyes. She was wearing a tattered white dress. Wolfgang instantly recognized the dress. This Eldar was a Farseer. Wolfgang picked up the Eldar and started back towards the brig.
"Rose Pilot." A voice said over the inter-com.
"What?" Wolfgang responded.
"The Dark Eldar are falling back into the ship and the space marines have called for reinforcements."
Wolfgang cursed. "I just picked up fifty one Eldar and six humans so I am going to call my ship in for evac."
"What!? Why did you promise fifty one Eldar a ride home?!" The knight yelled at him.
"Because the Eldar will owe me big time." I said back.
"Fine I found the supplies we lost and I have them just outside this cave. We will meet up there."
"Right see you there." Wolfgang said closing the line.
By the time he was done talking to the Knight Wolfgang made it back to the brig. As soon as he came back all the Eldar ran to the cell bars and started to yell out things in their own language.
"Istau!" Wolfgang yell out in the Eldar's language. (someone tell me what the Eldar Language is called I looked online but could not find its name.)
All of the Eldar stopped yelling at him all of them taken back by the fact that a Human knew how to speak in their tongue.
Wolfgang set the Farseer down and walked over to one of the Eldar doors and blew off the lock.
"Take care of her we move when I come back." He said to them in their language.
They started at him wide eyed. Sighing Wolfgang turned around and started towards the second brig to free the kids. He arrived at the other brig in a few minutes. He opened the door and was met by a Wyche. Wolfgang drew his pistol but the Wyche was faster than him and stopped his hand from coming all the way up. Wolfgang head butted her but she did not stagger back like he hoped. The Wyche drew a knife and started to stab him.
Wolfgang let his armor take the hits as he struggled to get away from the Wyche. He tried to kick her but she caught his leg. Wolfgang dropped using his weight to pull the Dark Eldar down with him. Wolfgang rolled away from her and got up bringing his pistol to bare. His hand was hit by a whip as he was about to level the gun to her head. His pistol flew out of his hand and into one of the cells. the dark Eldar then tackled Wolfgang. Sitting on his chest and using her legs to keep his arms down she drew her dagger and started to slash at his neck. Wolfgang brought his head down to stop the Eldar from hitting his lightly armored neck. The blade stuck his chin crating a long cut in his armor.
*Bang*
The Wyche fell of Wolfgang a bullet hole in her head. Wolfgang looked to one of the cells to see a young girl, no older than six, holding his pistol with both her hands. She was shaking hard, a few seconds later she dropped the pistol. Wolfgang pushed the limp body of the Dark Eldar off of him and got up. He walked over to the girl and picked up his pistol then shot the cell door lock.
The door opened and out came six Human kids. Four were boys and two were girls, all looked like they had been beaten. Bruises on their arms, legs and faces.
"Did the Emperor send you?" one asked.
Wolfgang kneed down to their level and shook his head. "Sorry he did not."
"Then why did you come?"
"I came because of vengeances but I will help as many people as I can escape this place." He said to them. "Where are your Parents?" He asked them. Hoping that he could help them reunited with one another.
(Next part is graphic you have been warned Play Mandalorian Funeral Chant)
All the kids looked down. One pointed to the cell next to theirs. Wolfgang stood up and walked over to the next cell. What he saw next filled his soul with rage. There were eight eldar, five male three female, sleeping in the cell with most of their clothes missing. Next to them were four human females covered in blood and sperm. Their arms and legs broken in multiple places. Their bodies bruised all over their bodies. The door was unlocked so Wolfgang walked in. One of the human women had a baby a few feet away from her. The umbilical cord was still attached to the baby.
But that was not the worse part. One of the male Dark Eldar was asleep a few inches away from the baby with his member just a few inches away from the baby's mouth. Wolfgang checked each of the human women for a pulse, none of them had one. Not even the baby, most like starved to death.
Wolfgang walked out of the cell and closed it making sure it was locked. He then pulled a incendiary grenade from his belt and threw it in the cell. The cell was filled with fire in an instance. The Dark Eldar woke from their drunken sleep and ran to the cell and tried to open it but found they could not. Wolfgang watched them burn taking pleasure in their suffering.
'FEELS GOOD DOESN'T IT.' A pleasant voice said in his head. 'THERE'S PLENTY MORE IF YOU WOULD SERVE ME.'
'I will never serve you.' Wolfgang thought back.
"IN TIME YOU WILL BE MINE." The voice finished fading from his mind.
One of the girls walked up to Wolfgang, the same one that shot the Wyche with his pistol, and held his hand.
"Was this justice?" she asked him.
"No." he said coldly. "This is retribution."
Wolfgang felt another familiar tug on his mind but he was too angry to heed it any attention.
'what is with all these metal phone calls.' Wolfgang thought to himself.
The girl looked at the burning Dark Eldar. Her eyes lit up and the fire intensified ten fold, but did not leave the cell. In a flew seconds the cell was empty only ash remained.
Wolfgang looked at the girl. She was a psyker.
Wolfgang escorted the kids back to the first cell room he was in. The Eldar were already trying to open up the other cells but were having no luck. Wolfgang walked over to the cell with the black dragon and shot the lock off.
The marine got up and walked out of his cell. "I see your still alive. Lets us be off then."
Wolfgang nodded. He then started to free the other Eldar. "All everyone listen up!" Wolfgang called in the Eldar's language. "I have a Ship we can use to escape this plant. I will let you come along if you do not cause me any problem during the trip! Follow my order and you all might make it back to your craftworld in one piece."
"How do we know this is not a trick Mon-keigh." One Eldar called.
"You don't you'll just have to trust me." Wolfgang said exiting the brig.
Rosa was sitting criss crossed on her holopad, her sword leaning up against her. Pacing back and forth in front of her was the Eldar her pilot picked up. She had been ranting about how her pilot was an idiot and the such. Why she was even listening to her, she had no idea.
"And then he has the nerve to say I am cute when I'm angry!" she yelled out.
"You know for a being that is over two-hundred years old you sure do act like a child." Rosa sighed.
The Eldar stopped and glared daggers into her. Suddenly Rosa resave a message. She opened it and read it. Rosa jumped to her feat.
"Were taking off now!" she yelled then disappeared.
The engines sprung to life. The wing thrusters fired lifting the ship into the air. Once the ship was above the mountain they were hiding at the engines fired and propelled the ship towards another set for mountains.
On the bridge Rosa was prepping weapons just in case the Space marines got their before she did. But she had the afterburners on so she was making good time.
The ship came to a halt just above a large cave. The Steiner Knight was waiting here with a few crates in front of him. The Ship touched down and both bay doors opened. The Knight got on board with the crates and set them next to his bay then powered down.
"Where's my Pilot?!" Rosa yelled at the Steiner Knight.
"He is right behind me." The Knight said.
Just then Wolfgang appeared in the cave with a large group of Eldar and a few humans. He directed them to the ship and fired a fired few rounds back into the cave. The Eldar all piled into the ship making their way to the back of the vehicle bay to make more room for the rest of them. Wolfgang got on just as a Space marine squad appeared in the cave firing their bolters at him.
"Punch it!" Wolfgang yelled at Rosa.
The ship bay doors closed and the ship took off just as a space marine battle barge came into view. The ship started to fire at the dropship as it dogged and weaved its way through the sky.
Wolfgang ran to the bridge as Rosa attempted to doge the incoming fire.
"How we holding up?" Wolfgang asked Rosa.
"We won't survive a direct him from those main batteries." She said back.
As Wolfgang ran through the hallways he was stopped by the Eldar ranger he saved.
"What is going on?!" she asked as she struggled to keep her balance.
"We are being shot at by a Space Marine battle barge." He said as he moved passed her. She followed close behind him. The two made their way to bridge. When they entered Wolfgang Rushed to his chair and started pressing buttons on his arm rest.
"Rosa I'm taking control. You calculate the jump to The Warp." Wolfgang said taking a joystick in his hand.
"Right. switching to manual in three. Two. One." Rosa counted down.
Wolfgang started to steer the ship directly towards the battle barge. The fire became more intense as he got closer to the warship. Just as he was about to hit it he did a sharp pull up and headed towards space. The barge followed but could not hope to catch up with the dropship. But that did not stop them from shooting wildly at him.
"Rosa almost done?" he asked as he dogged a round from a broadside cannon.
"Almost… almost… done!" she yelled out.
A Warp portal opened up in front of the dropship. In a moment the dropship disappeared into the portal.
Wolfgang lead back In his chair letting out a sigh of relief.
"Care to explain why we have fifty one Eldar aboard Wolfgang?" Rosa questioned crossing her arms.
Wolfgang looked at the Eldar ranger then back to Rosa. "Because the Eldar will owe us big time." He said in English. (Up until now Wolfgang has been speaking in Gothic)
"Oh so you don't want the Eldar to know this." Rosa said switching to English too.
"Yes I rather have the fifty plus Eldar we have now think we are doing this out of the goodness of our hearts." Wolfgang said standing up. "How long before we reach uncle's?"
"One weeks." Rosa replied.
"Damn. Can we make it with all these people on board?" Wolfgang asked walking out of the bridge, the Eldar close behind him.
"Barely its a good thing we stocked up on a lot of food." Rosa sighed.
"Never know when you're going to crash." Wolfgang joked.
Rosa giggled. "Never know when your idiot of a pilot starts a shuttle service out of his dropship."
As they made their way to the vehicle bay. The space marine that Wolfgang rescued came around the corner.
"Preserver I have been without weapon for a long time. I request that you show me to your armory. So that I may practice." The Black dragon requested.
"Very well. Rosa could you guide the marine to the armory?" Wolfgang asked Rosa in Gothic.
"Sure thing." Rosa said over the ship speakers.
"Who is this Rosa you speak of?" The marine asked.
'crap.' Wolfgang thought.
"She's an AI." Wolfgang said hesitantly.
The Marine looked at Wolfgang with a face of disdain. "Normally I would shoot you on sight and destroy her for heresy. However I will withhold my judgment until I see your planet."
The marine walked away following Rosa's directions.
Wolfgang sighed in relief and continued on his way to the vehicle bay.
"What was that language you spoke?" the Eldar demanded.
Wolfgang looked at her. "Why would I till you. Miss I will kill you next chance I get."
She glared at him. Then she did something that Wolfgang did not suspect would ever hear from and Eldar
"I'm s-sorry." She said quietly.
Wolfgang stopped walking and looked over his shoulder. "Rosa dose my ears deceive me or did this Eldar just apologies."
"I don't know I'm still runny a diagnostic on my audio receptors. Maybe if we hear it one more time." Rosa said over the ships speakers.
The Eldar's fist was shaking with rage. "I'm Sorry." She growled.
Wolfgang laughed. "Apology accepted Eldar." He then gestured for her to follow him.
"It is a very old language." Wolfgang began. "Dating as far back as the first millennia. It is a language lost to time and is only spoken by the people of my home plant."
The Eldar looked away obviously in deep thought. The two arrived at the vehicle bay moments later. Most of the Eldar were sitting in bay three and four or standing in the middle. The Eldar Farseer was still unconscious. Three of the Eldar where tending to her. The six kids Wolfgang rescued were all huddle underneath Wolfgang's knight. Wolfgang walked to the center of the catwalk then struck the railing a couple of times. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
"Greeting and thank you for choosing Preserver Air. Complementary blankets and other basic needs will be passed out after these short messages. We will arrive at my destination in one weeks time. From there I will locate an Eldar fleet and proceed there to drop you all off, as promised. But we need to lay down some easy to follow rules first. Number one, you are all free to move throughout the ship as you like, however there are few places you are not allowed to go. The bridge, the armory, the engine room, the cargo bay and my room. Two, do not mess with the knights." Wolfgang said pointed to the two knights. "And three, do not start fights."
The Eldar started to murmur to one another.
"Now that is out of the way. I leave you to your own devices." Wolfgang finished.
After the ground rules were laid Wolfgang moved over to the kids and moved them to one of the passenger rooms. Since they were not very big he put them all into one room. Once they were all settled in they promptly went to sleep. Wolfgang smiled and left them to their dreams.
"Wolfgang the marine is requesting your presence in the living room." Rosa informed him.
"Right tell him I will be there in a minute." Wolfgang relied.
Wolfgang got to the living room he found the marine sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand. The living room was a large rectangular room expect for the right wall which was curved. The same wall held the large curved TV that fill perfectly into the curved wall. The left wall held a large selection of books ranging from fiction to nonfiction and a few history books here and there, some in English others in gothic.
The marine noticed Wolfgang and closed the book. "I would like to inquirer you on some history of your planet."
"Very well." Wolfgang said walking over to face the marine. A chair came out of the ground just as Wolfgang began to sit down. The marine sat back down with his hands under his chin.
Wolfgang gave a quick glance around the room and removed his helmet. "So what would you like to know about."
"Everything." The marine deadpanned.
Wolfgang smiled and began to explain how Reach came to be. (let me know if you want to know about Reach's lore. If so we will come back to them next chapter. If not then we will skip it and you can learn as we go.)
Lanasya was in the medbay with three other Eldar. The Farseer had just came to but she was still very weak. Lanasya was explaining what had happened on the planet while they were prisoners, and getting updated on what happened at the Dark Eldar's ship.
"He can speak our tongues!" The Farseer Celaria yelled out. "That is impossible no Mon-keigh can comprehend our language!"
"yet this one did." One Eldar said. "We must find out how he managed this."
"We should capture him and rip our language from his very mind." Another said.
"I would not plot hostilities toward the Mon-keigh while its machine spirit, as they call it, is listening." One said gesturing to the hologram standing on the bed next to them.
"One, I am not a machine spirit I am an AI. Two, if you dare try anything against my pilot I will you skin you alive then pull you apart. Slowly." The AI threatened then disappeared.
"Maybe you should asked him." The Celaria said to Lanasya.
"Why me?" She asked a little embarrassed.
"I may be weak right now but I can sense something that is some sort of connection between you two."
"Me having a connection with a filthy Mon-Keigh."
"I know it is degrading but we must know more about this Mon-keigh."
Lanasya sighed. "Very well." She then left to go find the Human.
Celaria then looked to one of the Eldar then spoke into his mind. 'find a way to get this ship out of the Warp so that we can contact a friendly feet.'
