Supreme Domination
Summary: while fighting over a newly discovered planet the imperial guard's heavy bombardment reactivates an ancient stasis machine releasing its user. This universe will remember the power Humanity.
Also, massively AU and lore breaking
Another note in order to understand the bio you need to look up the Supreme Commander campaign and some basic Warhammer lore is needed (although I don't know most of anything, so contradictions and mistakes are likely also I'm intending to break the lore anyways so yeah)
Technology tiers:
First tier UEF units(supreme commander) vs imperial guard (infantry and light tank models) : first tier units is basically size equivalent to imperium knight mechs (T1 mech marine) and stripped down Leman Russ tanks (the basic UEF tank has a battle cannon and that's it) so they steamroll infantry however based on my limited knowledge UEF armaments will be underpowered with the heavier versions of imperial tanks such as the land raider from the astartes but seeing as though robotic 'light' mechs are basically the soldier/cannon fodder standard of the SC universe I must give the edge to SC.
T1 UEF units vs. Adeptus Astartes (Space marine and their equivalents ex. Chaos space marines): so, before I had thought that Astartes would utterly wreck the tanks however I learned that the astartes boltgun does not have a lot of armor penetrating capabilities at least in terms of the SC universe as the armor in a T1 tank can take several hit from its own weapon which is a high explosive shell more than likely hitting harder than a shell from a boltgun. Design wise it would be impossible for an astartes without heavy weapons to destroy a basic T1 tank. HOWEVER, astartes being who they are will see a column of tanks and promptly either call in heavy support when possible or retreat before the SC units would be able to hit the astartes in full force.
T2 UEF vs. heavy imperial armor: after quite a bit of research and debate with some guys online I've come to the totally accurate conclusion that a single T2 heavy tank is basically as armored if not more so then a Baneblade, size wise it is bigger HOWEVER the standard T2 tanks are massively ill equipped for a 40k. battle it gun will core any imperial tank it sees however it along with most frontline ground units for all three factions simply lack the rate of fire and anti-personnel weaponry which makes sense since SC doesn't HAVE infantry they never needed it.
Third tier SC imperial guard and Adeptus Astarte: I know there will be haters but seriously these are warlord level titans being made within seconds but still lacking a lot of the anti-infantry protection it needs(plus if you really look into the technology of both then technically Aeon kills entire humanity easily cause there entire military is quantum weapon centered… also galactic colossus and in one hour and enough mass I would have ten of them (ball parking it) yeah so that's all you Warhammer fans are getting from me)
Experimentals vs anything: this is no longer a debate these wipe out armies' period a czar can not only delete an entire imperial guard army by itself, but it can build and store several air wings of fighters, bombers, and gunships. The Galactic Colossus is a land-based version that TOWERS over emperor class titans, and it only takes a good commander 30-40 minutes and that is in battle. The Mavor can hit a target with accurate shots from across the US 4,000 kilometers or close to 2,500 miles. When Reaper deploys these (as he likes to do) this would be overkill for almost any situation… and he tends to deploys them en mass.
Now onto bio:
Name: SC G*****
A.I. package: "Legion"
Upgrade: full integration (fully melded A.I.), Emergency Experimental Infantry Combat Stimulus, Experimental Covert Commander Insertion Package.
Rank: (formerly) ACU Commander Major (UEF), (formerly) RRF (rapid response force)/ tip of the spear (first assault commander) (Cybran), God of War & Death/ Princess's champion (Aeon) nicknamed "Reaper"
Strategy: turtle/steamroller/artillery fanatic
History: (all S.C. three campaigns) he was first a UEF controlled Cybran that fought with UEF by the loyalty program establishing himself across multiple campaigns and being near unbeatable, but Reaper was later freed by Dr. Gustaf Brackman. He then went on to fight against the UEF startling them with his mixed usage of both UEF and Cybran forces.
Reaper was later selected for an experimental procedure which melded him with a much more powerful A.I. and several highly lethal procedures that gave him the abilities of an armored command unit and giving him superhuman abilities such as increased strength as well as cellular regeneration.
However, the more Reaper fought the more he grew sickened of the atrocities being committed while fighting the war. He had seen Aeon massacre entire Cybran towns, UEF enslave his own people, and was growing wise to Dr. Brackman's less then subtle manipulations. Finally having enough, he fled away from the war somehow arriving on the planet Blue Sky (seriously that is what it is called) where he accidentally found to be the secret base of princess Rhianna forced to fight, Reaper was severely injured by the defenses of princess Rhianna.
However, after fighting through the defenses he explained to them (at gunpoint) that he had no wish to continue what in his mind was a pointless infinite war. The princess who after hearing his name knew of his accomplishments pleaded for him to help them end avatar Marxon's genocidal campaign to rule the galaxy and help end the war.
Reaper warily agrees and so after recovering he set out to fight against Marxon targeting the other commanders under his command managing to kill most before Marxon managed to strike at earth. During the last battle it turned into a deadly four way as Reaper had to bathe the UEF commander in nuclear fire, bombard the Cybrans with strategic bombers, and take on Marxon one on one with both having their bases destroyed and no armies left.
The end left Marxon dead, and Reaper mortally wounded while he was incapacitated and regenerating from the damage princess Rhianna sacrificed herself to stop the infinite war using the black sun weapon to project her consciousness across the galaxy.
Chapter 1: The Awakening
On the planet Blue Sky, the air was cloudy as the air became polluted with smoke and miasma from the explosion and bodies of the dead. From on high one could see a large island surrounded by water as on one side a literal green wave being slowly chipped away by blinking red beams fired from the other as a horde of orks were hurling themselves with eager glee against a multi layered imperial trench line. The once luminescent flora was destroyed to make way for trenches with fixed stubber and heavy bolter emplacements along the front with the second line held mortar emplacements as well as long las sniper dugouts and sensor auger arrays and artillery positions placed across the third.
A stout man looked on at the chaotic madness in front of him as the green horde pulled back from the fight leaving only a sea of corpses and craters to mark yet another failed attempt.
The man looked aged clad in a gray general's combat outfit with a knee length black cape lined with silver. The cape swayed freely from the blasts of pressure and air from the artillery line firing around him.
"VOX MAN ORDER ALL ARTILLERY TO HOLD FIRE!" the general roared over the cacophony of artillery pieces within minutes the guns silenced allowing the crews a chance to rest many of them falling flat on their asses in exhaustion and others simply collecting themselves before moving to resupply their ammunition for what was inevitably going to be another wave. Their crisp professionalism bringing a small smile of pride to the aged generals face.
However, that smile turned into a cold rage as he looked upon his front trench.
It was a scene from hell his troops brave men one and all lay scattered about as the orks had gored their ranks many lied in dismembered heaps torn apart by the orks yet among those he was once again hit with a bit of pride for as the surviving guardsmen pulled their fallen away many were revealed to be covering ork bodies literally burying them each under a mountain of bayonets and bodies. Far off into the distance he could see a churning mass of black smoke approaching.
Realization came quickly to the general 'the damned orks are launching a massed armored attack. Quickly the general roared out orders for an organized withdrawal to the secondary trench, and to mine the front of the first with as many anti-tank mines as possible.
He turned and glared at the far-off reason for all the sacrifice. Even from this far the mishmash of ruins from three distinct types showing steel grey, obsidian black, and gleaming silver obviously xenos like architecture made him need to suppress a shiver. He turned to his vox operator.
"Corporal Stenson! Call that damned inquisitor and warn her we are being mauled heavily and are retreating to secondary positions. She has at most a day!" He ordered the young man carrying a large radio upon his back.
With crisp professionalism the young man saluted before conducting his orders. Moments after the general winced as the young man went pale and flinched hard away from the inquisitor's response which was so loud that it could be heard clearly.
"THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE CORPORAL TELL GENERAL MATTIS HE IS TO HOLD AT ALL COST A-
Hearing enough after seeing damn near three quarters of his front line destroyed, he ripped the speaker from the poor corporal and roared into the receiver uncaring of the consequences.
"LADY INQUISITOR YOU HAVE ONE DAY CAUSE AFTER THAT DAY ME AND ALL MY MEN WILL BE DEAD THAT IS NOT FEAR THAT IS ME TELLING YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN! MY FRONTLINE TROOPS ARE BARELY HOLDING ON, I HAVE AT MOST ENOUGH AMMUNITION FOR FIVE HOURS OF CONTINUOUS FIRE-SUPPORT AND THE GREENSKINS ARE MASSING FOR AN ARMORED ASSAULT!" giving the receiver back to the now shaking corporal he marched down and started helping his men get ready for the assault.
(In the xenos structure)
Lady inquisitor Wiess blinked absent mindedly at her vox caster earphones with a bewildered look. She was dumb struck that a general was willing to not only cut her off but was also willing to yell at her about his situation.
'Still some disciplinary action may be needed for that general' she mused as she returned to the large ornate plaque that formed a large double door.
"Yeesh guess that was bad news?" a new voice called out.
Weiss looked and saw her retinue of close companions, friends even though she would never admit it.
The one who spoke a woman clad in Black power armor signifying herself as a sister of battle her blond hair cascading her back like a wild cape. She held her personal weapon her twin destroyer pattern flame pistols Ember Celica. Her lilac eyes alight with mischief and humor though slightly dimmed from her usual mood.
As always by her side was her little sister Ruby an energetic yet shy girl clad in a formfitting black synthetic suit with a single red line going from each of her limbs up to the front of her neck disappearing into an almost ethereal red cloak that seemed to sway with a small invisible wind.
She carrying her specially made Exitus rifle something that made Weiss wince every time she saw it. It was the only keepsake Ruby had for her fallen comrade Penny who was a vindicare assassin under Weiss's command. It had taken A LOT of politicking to get the vindicare temple to allow someone officially not of their number to wield their signature weapon
'Though having Ruby step forward and offer to train at the vindicare temple TO THE GRAND MASTER OF THE TEMPLE! was yet another thing I can't believe she got away with' then again Ruby had such an earnest disposition and her begging to carry on one of their top assassins' orders, so they didn't need to give Weiss another assassin when she requested it was perhaps another reason.
A small thud on her other side alerted her to her final team member she looked to see a black leather clad female black hair felinid wielding a literal variety of weapons two small power swords, a small hand scythe attached to a length of black wire, and a neural shredder pistol. As her race suggested she moved with a feline grace as she slowly shook her head exasperatedly.
"It's always bad news for the guard poor men and we're still no closer to deciphering the text on this door."
Weiss nodded "true Blake in all honesty I feel bad for the general, but this is too important- she looked at the door which was inscribed with a language definitely human but incomprehensible as it had almost no basis in either low or high gothic- "My vision was right the temple is here! But this door was supposed to be open."
Weiss growled out in frustration before turning to Blake "still no other way in then?"
Blake simply shook her head "sealed tight no opening or air vents nothing."
Weiss sighed and turned to face her team "alright then before we can open this, we must focus o- BOOOOM
An earthshattering explosion rocked the entire temple sending Ruby and Yang to the ground while Blake and Weiss struggled to stay at their feet.
"BY THE EMPEROR!" Weiss shouted before steadying herself and reaching for her vox caster while Blake helped Yang and Ruby to their feet.
"General Mattis what was that?" static was her answer.
"General Mattis respond!" static once more before the comms crackled to life.
"Inquisitor this is Sargent Mathew general Mattis has been wounded and is currently unconscious! The orks are attacking with an armored division with two Stompa class titans! We're trying to hold them back but are being overwhelmed we'll buy you as much time as we can, but you have at most a few hours may the emperor be with you ma'am."
Weiss was shocked but quickly collected herself "alright ladies we're leaving!" but as they began to move the hall, they stood in lit up with life. The inquisitor and her retinue startled sprang into a defensive circle as the temple began to emit a loud hum.
"Weiss, I don't like this!" came the young voice of Ruby as she took a knee shouldering her Exitus rifle looking for movements.
"Something tells me we just woke up whatever was in here" Blake said holding one of her power swords and her neural shredder pistol.
"that's fine I was looking to fight something!" Yang said grinning while aiming her pistols everywhere.
Weiss said nothing as she held her force sword an elegantly crafted rapier that shimmered with barely contained psychic energy.
"ALERT! ALERT! DAMAGE TO STASIS CHAMBER SUSTAINED! ACTIVATING QRF…" a klaxon alarm sounded roared from the hall startling the women.
"What the hell is that!" Yang shouted wincing at the loud mechanical voice.
"This that machine spirit the mechanicus are always going on about?" Blake said her cat ear lying flat on her head to try and dampen the sound.
Before Weiss could respond it sounded again.
" ALERT! QRF FORCES NOT RESPONDING! ACTIVATING AUTOMATED BASE FORCES… ALERT! BASE FORCES NOT RESPONDING! ALERT! MAIN POWER GENERATORS OFFLINE… CODE BLACK INITIATED RELEASING SUBJECT REAPER FROM STASIS!"
The sound of liquid running made the girls turn back to the door. The door seemed to melt into a silver metallic liquid that somehow disappeared as it hit the floor and before them was a titanic room with an equally massive pool of metallic liquid and floating above was a humanoid figure lit with green energy.
The form male and clad in a skintight black material with crimson red small, armored plates covering the top layer in segmented patterns. The figure's head was hooded but a glint of a metal mask could be made out underneath.
Weiss seeing the others unsure of what to do strode forward into the chamber smothering her own fears. The others calling out to her as they rushed to follow all of them coming to a stop before the pool.
Slowly the figure was lowered to right above the pool the green energy surrounding the figure slowly dissipating little by little until at last the figure hunched over and with a loud groan awoke.
"What… princess Rhianne what happened that bastard Marxon dead yet?" the figure said the voice
'a male' Weiss figured by the tone as he collected himself and looked up only to be met with the sight of the inquisitor and her retinue.
Silence ensured…
Quick as a flash the figure dunked his arms into the liquid pool underneath him startling the women again as the pool seemed to pull him in.
The women except Weiss aiming the weapons at the pool cries of shock sounding before the pool seemed to shrink into itself until springing out at speeds that defied logic a massive black titan with crimson lights and accents (black painted UEF ACU) with stylized engravings of shadowy figures of death wielding scythes covering the titan.
That selfsame titan was now aiming one of its massive guns right at Weiss and her team.
"ALRIGHT-the titan boomed- Y'ALL BETTER TELL ME WHO YOU ARE OR SO HELP ME I WILL START BLASTING!"
Weiss for her part was dumbstruck at the titan before her so lost in her thoughts that she didn't respond at first to the titan's inquiry.
It took Yang elbowing her while keeping her other pistol aimed at the titan although Weiss noticed that all her team was shaking a bit.
Shaking her head, a little she stepped forward "I am inquisitor Weiss of the ordo Hereticus with me is my retinue of comrades."
She put away her force rapier as she gestured to her team.
"This is Yang Xiao Long member of the Order of the Burning Light. Her sister Ruby Rose of the Order of the Sacred Sanctuary. And Blake… of the Order of Scarlet Roses." She hesitantly said.
'Telling the big titan that two of us are trained assassins might not go over so well' Weiss thought, and she refused to try her psyker powers on him as she couldn't risk him being able to detect or worse respond in kind.
The man in the titan unknown to her was currently suffering a mild case of 'WTF IS GOING ON! INQUISITORS? ORDO HERE WHAT?!' well panic mixed with confusion.
The man pinched his brow irritation and exasperation both working together to give him a migraine to end all migraines.
"Please for the love of all that's holy CEASE AND DESIST!" the man growled.
Weiss stalled out the aggression in the being's voice making her grip her rapier subconsciously.
"Let's start with- another massive explosion rocked the facility- the fuck was that!" the man roared.
" ALERT! FACILITY UNDER ATTACK! ALIEN LIFE FORMS ARE APPROACHING WITHIN SECURITY PERIMETER HUMAN ARMED FORCE IS ATTEMPTING TO REPEL NOW DESIGNATED AS FRIENDLY!"
" HUMAN CASUALTY COUNT 303,977 AND INCREASING AT AN UNSUSTAINABLE RATE! ESTIMATED TIME UNTIL DEFENSE FORCE IS OVERWHELMED 2 HOURS!"
"The fuck are defense forces doing outside of an ACU!" the man roared.
Weiss seized this opportunity to switch the target of the titan's aggression "that the Astra Militarum guard regiment the that was sent to secure this planet for humanity. Please I beseech you great titan please lend us your aid and I promise to answer your questions afterwards!"
Several tense seconds passed before an aggravated growl sounded from the great mech "alright I'll help first thing's first call me Reaper and this 'titan' I'm in is called an ACU."
With that the titan stood up from the slight tilt it was in and out rang Reaper's voice "this is Reaper assuming direct control! transfer all operational facilities to my command!"
Once again, the voice from the machine spirit sounded
"COMMAND ACKNOWLEDGED! TRANSFERRING COMMAND & CONTROL!"
The man now known as Reaper looked at his display grimacing as the omni radar the base had was suffering a power shortage blinking on every few seconds before shutting off but the info it showed was horrific flashing a rapidly collapsing line of humans getting slaughtered by a green tide even as a lightshow of red lasers flashed out calling back to memories of a similar situation he had hoped to never have to relive.
'More the fool I am for believing in such nonsense' Reaper thought before ordering his ACU to exit the facility. Weiss and her team rushing to try and follow.
Weiss silently thanked the emperor for the distraction as it allowed her a moment to collect her thoughts however, she felt a calming sense seeing the massive titan move forward as if knowing that all was going to be okay.
This worried her greatly as she had never felt such assurance before as an inquisitor. She had always felt unsure of every decision she made the fear of letting the dark forces that moved against humanity slip through her fingers making her hesitate.
'But maybe this was a sign from the god emperor' she thought to herself clutching her inquisitor rosarius while running.
"Well at least we found a hunk eh ice queen?" and like that Weiss's elation turned to annoyance. Although seeing the skintight figure did let her appreciate certain aspects although she would never admit it ESPECIALLY to Yang of all people.
"Please focus Yang! Blake call in our transport! I'll try and radio the frontline" she ordered. Blake nodded and carried out her duty as Weiss radioed the front "Sargent Mathew are you there?!"
The radio came to life with a crackle she could hear a barrage of explosions and screams as a familiar voice surprised her for it was not the sergeant but "this is general Mattis I've reassumed command, but it hasn't gotten any better ma'am I hope you got some good news for me?" his gruff voice blared over the chaos of war.
Weiss despite herself felt a self-satisfied smirk form on her lips "yes indeed general the man I've been looking for has awakened, and we are enroute to your location with reinforcements."
"Wait you were looking for a man all this time! Well, I hope it is a lot of reinforcements ma'am my boys are getting hammered hard by those stompas we won't last long under these circumstances!"
Weiss was going to respond but a sharp crackle made her wince as a new voice rang out "general Mattis this is ACU pilot codenamed Reaper give me 15 minutes and I'll have you some arty to play with!"
Weiss did a double take "wait Reaper! How did- "I hacked into your comms network which was pathetically easy since y'all can't encrypt for shit! Seriously you do realize any enemy force worth the name could listen in on you guys, right?" Reaper cut in annoyance plain in his voice as if that fact had offended him.
General Mattis on the other hand merely grunted and said in a mildly jovial manner, "well son if you could pull some artillery out your ass that would be much appreciated! However, if you're with the inquisitor you'd still be close to 50 miles out by the time you get arty close enough we'll be dead!"
Reaper audibly hmphed "my T2 Klink's have a range of 50-128 miles out don't worry almost done with the first one."
"Almost done?! What do you mean? No artillery could have that range! Madam Weiss are you there? What is that madman doing!?" the poor general asked in a disbelieving voice.
Weiss however wouldn't respond as she along with her entire team was currently staring slack jawed at the spectacle in front of them.
For the massive titan had fired a pair of beams into the ground where slowly but surely a shape the size of a massively oversized earthshaker affixed a large base was constructed before their very eyes.
Ruby was the first to make a sound "w-Weiss the titan is making a cannon… BY THE EMPEROR THE TITAN IS MAKING A GIANT CANNON!" she squealed as she stared starry eyed at the display.
Soon the cannon was done and slowly it rotated towards the frontlines. Weiss at least had enough situational awareness to look quickly at Blake "BLAKE EARS!" Blake looked at Weiss before realization hit her like a truck.
Blake quickly got her noise cancelling earphones and put them on just in time for the cannon to fire.
BOOOOM! The cannon roared, the force creating a shockwave that blasted the girls off their feet as they were too close to it. Their ears ringing as they stumbled away disorientated.
Reaper hyper focused on making more cannons was too focused to realize the dangerous situation he had put the girls in.
Already 3 alternating rows of ghost outlines laying out several T1 power generators and T2 Klink hammer artillery in supporting fashion.
Meanwhile the inquisitor and her team retreated further away as all around them what they thought were ruins came to life now they witnessed that the ruins were in fact factories and to their astonishment began making vehicles of war from tanks to knight class mechs, to aircraft from planes obviously like fighters and bombers to transports dwarfing her Aquila Lander that had just arrived near her team.
"Hey uh snow queen I don't think those machines are piloted…" Yang said in an uncharacteristically fearful tone as she inched closer to ruby angling herself a bit in front as if to protect ruby.
That brought Weiss out of her shocked mind "wait… you're right Yang!" she quickly got onto her Vox earphones.
"Reaper are those automated by abominable intelligences!" she yelled in fear. 'Holy emperor did I just reawakened a man of iron!' fear now enshrouding her mind as visions of imperial worlds laid to waste as legions soulless automatons destroyed everything in their path.
Reaper for his part felt mildly offended by the term abominable intelligences "EXCUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE!?"
"I MEAN ARE THOSE THINGS CONTROLLED BY A.I.!" Weiss screeched as she shepherded her team quickly into the aircraft.
"of course, they are! How else am I supposed to wage a war on my own?! Those things have a dumb down A.I. that's slaved to me!" Reaper explained as dread filled him.
'What the hell has gone on since I was in stasis!? Human troops as frontline units! Abominable intelligence!? What timeline am I in?! have I gone back in time!? Has humanity been under siege all this time!?' these and so many more questions clouded Reaper's mind before he shook it clear.
'doesn't matter right now I'll figure it out later. For now, need to focus on war' with that Reaper had turned his attention back to his base he was honestly in a good spot for a sudden war like this he had four UEF T2 land factories, two T1 Cybran land factories and five UEF T2 air factories.
For the UEF Land factories he had one make exclusively engineers, another upgrading to T3, and the last two pumping out a mix of T2 Gatling bots 'mongooses', T2 medium tanks 'pillars', and T2 amphibious tanks 'riptide'. The T1 Cybran factories were upgrading to T2 and would be down for at least five to ten minutes.
For the air factories he had all of them focus on making air transports allowing him to have ten already operational by the time his first wave of units was ready. Afterwards three were focused on pumping out the T2 fighter/bomber aircraft the 'Janus' while the other two were upgrading.
Finally, his engineers were focusing on his resources making several new T2 mass fabricators and power generators.
Once his base expansion plan was set, he radioed his mysterious acquaintances "this is reaper how's that arty support working?" he asked as a shit eating grin made its way onto his face.
However, it was the voice of the inquisitor who responded through gritted teeth "this is not over Reaper what you have is extremely dangerous not to mention how heretical it- "
And that was the tipping point for Reaper's microscopic patience "LISTEN PRINCESS- Reaper roared into the comms which instantly died down hear the fury in his voice "I DO NOT BOW TO YOUR BELIEFS, YOU ARE NOT MY COMMANDER, MY LEADER OR HELL AT THIS POINT EVEN MY FUCKING FRIEND I AM TRYING TO SAVE YOUR MEN AND AFTERWARDS IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON I WILL PERSONALLY NUKE THE EVER-LOVING SHIT OUT OF YOU AND THE MEN I AM CURRENTLY SAVING NOW UNTIL I SAY OTHERWISE OR UNLESS YOU HAVE RELEVANT INFORMATION SHUT UP AND LET ME WAR IN PEACE." Reaper couldn't help but snicker at that last line but being honest with himself that last line summed up how he was feeling deep inside.
"Now again general how is that arty?" Reaper said hoping to ignore that last outburst.
The generals voice came back with relief and disbelief blatant "son I don't know what you got firing but it's annihilating the damned greenskins armor! Sargent reform the line! Reaper how long can you keep up this artillery barrage?"
Reaper despite his situation grinned sadistically "how long general? That depends on these greenskin… things not my ammunition supply." Honestly it was like he was transported to a whole different universe with how different war was waged here. That however flared up the ever-increasing dread in Reaper, but he stamped that out to focus on the task at hand.
Ignoring the poor confused generals questioning Reaper went on.
"Anyways my first wave of forces is heading to reinforce your position right now General with them are several engineers that will help fortify your lines." Reaper explained as overhead his force of five squadrons of five Janus fighter/bombers zoomed overhead followed by his ten transports loaded with a diverse grouping of 60 T2 units.
"Much appreciated son the orks are still coming through although that artillery is destroying any hope of them maintaining cohesion, I've gotten reports of orks fighting other orks trying to flee my guess is their warboss is trying to corral them through the bombardment!"
That sparked Reaper's interest "Warboss? Guessing that's their leader, right?"
"Yup he'll be the biggest of them all and more than likely he'll be attacking with his main force soon!" the general answered grimly.
That caught Reaper off guard "this isn't main force? But there's so many greenskins a literal tidal wave!"
"And the damned orks will always have more they just appear out of no where and once a planet gets them, they will never be fully clean unless the entire surface burns." The general growled as the far-off sounds of explosions from Reaper's artillery continued to wreak havoc among the ork horde.
Reaper was taken aback at that statement "general what do you mean? Surely the orks will flee soon my arty is decimating them hell once my army gets into the mix there won't be an ork horde left."
"Ahem- the voice of the inquisitor came in- I can explain IF you consider that relevant information?" the inquisitor said in a snarky sarcastic tone
Reaper on his part look to the ceiling of his cockpit and mouthed "why" but honestly couldn't help the smile forming on his face as he said in an obviously false enthusiastic voice "why yes princess that is relevant information good to know you can tell the difference."
Reaper snickered as the princess audibly growled and said through gritted teeth "so glad I could be of use 'milord'" before continuing in a professional tone "the orks are actually a living fungi type species, their bodies continually release spore that if given enough time will grow into more orks, their smaller slave race gretchins, and their beasts universally called squiggs."
That caught Reaper off guard "wait these things are FUNGI!?" he asked incredulously.
"yes- Wiess answered like a teacher- the ork fungus is extremely hardy for a spore and can grow a full ork in but a few weeks or some even claim days."
Reaper leaned back in his seat as he processed that revelation calculations speeding through his head as he took in everything.
By then he could see on his battle map that his forces had arrived his Janus fighter/bombers moved in first unleashing a hell storm of napalm right onto the frontline of the orks sending them into a massive panic as well as clearing a landing right in front of the astonished guardsmen.
First twenty pillar heavy tanks formed a frontline and blasted away at the orks with their powerful gauss cannons as behind them landed ten mongoose gatling bots that stood behind and above the tanks firing bursts of plasma shots from their gatling plasma cannons and huge anti-armor grenades (honestly more like bombs) launched from their heavy fragmentation grenade launchers focusing the two ork gargants. Under the sudden and focused assault, they quickly fell under the onslaught.
With this formed Reaper's frontline pushing the horde further as Reaper switched his artillery to focus on the flanks of the horde funneling the unknowing orks right into the frontline's teeth.
That many orks should have overwhelmed the small frontline but then roaring past the barrage of artillery was twenty T2 riptide amphibious hover tanks their hells fury riot guns spewing out hot lead like an unending gatling gun.
Behind the rallying guardsmen landed Reaper's support forces five flapjack missile platforms formed up and began launching cruise missiles at (to them) close range aiming for the back line of the orks forces causing even more confusion. Meanwhile ten sky boxer anti-aircraft flak artillery tanks landed a small distance and began a simple patrol pattern guarding the air above the battle line.
Weiss's transport landed soon after and the girls bore witness to a scene they could barely comprehend for the first time for any off them they saw the orks- who were infamous for the love of battle and war, who were not afraid of fighting anything from tyrranids, daemons, to bloody astartes and in a few cases even win against those beings- being wholesale slaughtered by what seemed to them like massive tanks and titans.
All the while Reaper's Janus fighter/bombers were constantly bombing the horde with napalm runs before occasionally returning to Reaper's base for refueling before coming back and partaking in the onslaught.
"By his grace…" Blake muttered.
Ruby however hugged a bewildered Weiss "Weiss, Weiss your vision was right!" she squealed however Weiss simply stood there as in her mind she saw humanity being wiped out by the giant titan and his unstoppable army.
'By the emperor what have I done.' She thought as her mind replayed her disrespectful tone she had taken with the being and how furious his outburst was.
"Hey uh terra to Weiss? Anyone in there?" Yang said as her loyal retinue gathered around her worried looks on their faces.
Weiss shook herself and put on a brave face to mask her feelings "I'm fine Yang let us get a sit-rep from the general and discuss what will happen from here."
Ruby ever the innocent one said "what do you mean Weiss surely the big titan guy will help us right? Your vision said so…" Ruby said although doubt began to creep in at the end.
Weiss as much as she wanted to could not keep it hidden "I fear I may have angered the being and his allegiance is now… suspect." She admitted cringing as the color drained from the other three's faces.
A small uncomfortable silence lingered until Yang spoke aloud "well nothing we can do about that except apologize and pray to the emperor we don't get the same treatment as those orks." As if to emphasize that more transports began to land a bit behind the backline of the guard depositing giant machines at spread out and to their unceasing amazement, and horror defensive turrets, massive factories, and large tower-like structures.
The inquisitor and her retinue raced past the dumbfounded guardsmen to a fortified dugout atop a small rise that gave a good overall viewpoint of the battlefield.
There they were met by the general who despite the situation continued to rally his troops and give out orders. By chance he had noticed them come in and without giving a salute merely said in a light jovial tone "milady inquisitor you sure know how to make an entrance."
Weiss on her part blushed a little in embarrassment "sadly general there might be a problem with these reinforcements."
Mattis on his part sighed audibly before looking at her with irritation "please tell me you did not anger the man who is currently saving our asses."
Weiss couldn't help but cringe at the disappointed and irritated tone of the general "I may have BUT I am resolved to apologize for my behavior and hope he would be merciful. I am not so blind as to not notice our situation." She motioned to where the frontline of titans and tanks were being reinforced with yet more units expanding the kill-zone as the orks despite losing so much seem to charge harder still.
The general gave another sigh but before he could say anything he was interrupted.
"I accept your apology Ms. Weiss but now is not the time I have several waves of units ready to go on the offensive when ya'll ready!" Reaper said over the caster.
They all turned to see a Sargent holding a Vox caster backpack looking pale faced as he stuttered "s-s-sorry general and milady inquisitor t-t-the uh man was trying to raise you over the comms but you weren't responding."
Weiss blinked at him before she reached and pulled off her headphones to inspect them finding that they simply ceased to function with gritted teeth and a blushing face of embarrassment she threw the defunct headphones to the ground and coughed into her a clenched fist as she tried to regain her pride… again.
"Understood soldier." She said as took the speaker portion from the poor man who looked close to either fainting or shitting himself.
"Reaper this is Weiss how many units can you spare for an offensive?" she said in a professional tone trying to ignore the embarrassment of having her equipment fail her in front of both a general and the mysterious being.
Reaper however saw through the façade and audible chuckled much to her embarrassment "Inquisitor how many do you need?"
Weiss turned to the general "general Mattis I believe you would be more suited to this subject?"
The old general merely smiled at that and nodded "I believe so milady." He said as he took the speaker from the inquisitor.
Weiss turned to her retinue "alright girls when the offensive begins I plan on having us be on stand by for when the war boss makes his appearance once he does we will strike with the aim to neutralize him and with his death the horde will disintegrate into anarchy understood?!"
The girls nodded as they checked their gear and Weiss turned as she heard the tail end of the generals planning "- understood but please let my men in on the action after the bloodying we were forced to take a lot of my men are baying to pay the orks back in kind."
"I will allow it but be careful my units will shoot to kill the enemy regardless of whether or not allies are standing nearby they simply not that smart."
The general nodded although Reaper couldn't see "understood I'll tell my men to stay behind the titans although are you sure your titans will be safe?"
"eh I've never had to worry about infantry before but even if they somehow clamber onto my units there's no opening for them to enter into at most they could plant explosives but my units are made to go against units of a similar type so I'm not sure as to the effectiveness of that strategy… and besides if they do that they'll be easy picking for your men." Reaper said.
"Roger Reaper and those reinforcements are they more of these titans?" Mattis asked with a slight hint of hope.
To this Reaper laughed "oh general I've got bigger units for the offensive they're enroute now I suggest you men make way."
This was heard by all and in a rather unprofessional manner EVERYONE raced out to be greeted by the faint sight of five TITANIC ships making their war towards them.
"BY THE EMPERORS HOLY ARMIES WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?!" the good general roared as even from this distance the large transports looked larger than most titans.
"those are my T3 heavy air transports carrying some of my biggest units general now these greenskin shits will be victim to my way of warfare efficient, ruthless, and relentless." Reaper's voice said in a smug and slightly sadistic tone.
Yang elbowed Weiss again "hey ice queen uh I don't think they'll be a warboss left after this."
Weiss could only nod dumbly as the titanic transports flew closer to the battlefield.
A guardsmen rushed to the staring leadership startling some of them "Sirs we've got several ork titans enroute confirmed sightings on three Mek stompas, two Goff stompas, all being led by a Mega-Gargant."
Both the general's and Weiss's eyes widened as they raced back to the hill where from they say the battle line of ork titans slowly make their way to the front. From underneath the giant titan like monstrosities roared countless tanks and battlewagons atop which were orks almost comedically piled atop firing everything from shootas to rokkits.
"Quickly men steel yourselves focus on the tanks and infantry! Leave the titans to our allies!" the general bellowed as he and the rest of the guard reloaded and took cover back into the trenches.
Weiss whipped around to her team "Yang, Blake you're with me we- "WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" she was cut off as atop one of the stompas was a large "WAAAAGH!" banner with giant speakers attached to the sides and above.
That call sent an almost visible ripple among the orks as they all raised their weapons and roared "WAAAAAGH" with it.
A large bang sounded near Weiss, and she could see a small figure fall from atop the large stompa she turned to see ruby aiming down her Exitus rifle with a small smirk.
Ruby racked her rifle sending a still smoking shell away before she blinked and looked and saw all three of her team looking at her. Her face bloom scarlet as she zipped away in a flurry of rose petals. "I'lltakeupasnipingpositionnearby!"
(with Reaper)
"That… was hot" Reaper said with as he observed from a squadron of spy planes observing the battlefield.
He was not going to lie the inquisitor and her comrades were some of the most beautiful women he had ever seen easily beating out princess Rhianne, and Dostya (who he had a crush on).
'dear god these women are… amazing' Reaper thought as he lost himself in observing the women ready themselves from ruby laying down near the top of the hill holding the command dugout, to Blake slinking in shadows following the ever confident Weiss who's every movement could simply be defined as graceful almost contrasting her was the easy going smile from Yang who strutted down the trench twirling her twin pistols.
He shook his head as he refocused onto the battlefield. He was surprised to see that the orks had units even rivaling his units in size but the fact that it looked like a mish mash of scrap, ornamental parts, and a myriad of useless junk cobbled together and slapped weapons upon rankled Reaper greatly.
He always considered himself a bit of a maverick designing and customizing his units, hell that was one of the reasons that despite dr. Brackman's warnings he continued to use UEF units in his arsenal, he loved how each faction had their own theme it spoke of their war philosophy. But seeing that the orks simply smacked metal together AND MADE IT WORK! Pissed Reaper of to no end.
He had expanded his base to include several Aeon paragon Resource generators, and several Aeon land and air factories both of which were already at work making what he felt was the final wave should something go tits up, as well as a special Cybran style factory that was constructing his fallback plan should Weiss and her faction prove… hostile
"Well let's see how they like a good old fashion UEF assault spearhead." He said to himself smirking sadistically as he saw his three trump cards move slowly underwater to the rear of the orks.
(back to the battle)
Explosions roared as Reaper's frontline of T2 units fought valiantly to hold off the surprise renewed assault of the orks. His units were firing with lethal precision but slowly they were overwhelmed.
The first was his Riptides skirting the flanks of the orks. They were not meant for sustained combat and soon the orks managed to tag all of them through sheer volume of fire free up the flanks to only having to worry about the artillery which while effective weren't effective enough to deal with the mass of heavy units now breaking out of the kill zone this led to the T2 pillar tanks getting overwhelmed by mass rokkit barrages and tank fire.
This left the T2 mongooses the only units left as the Janus fighter/bombers had to switch to anti air mode to deal with the orks newly arrived crude ork fightas that swooped in and engaged.
Thankfully the engineers had finished constructing several T3 ravager defensive turrets which was essentially a massive plasma gatling cannon. These tore into the waves of infantry and tanks. Buying enough time for the engineers to finish several T2 Pulse shield generators enough to shield the entire front line plus the guardsmen supporting form behind.
Speaking of which the guardsmen once again showed their professionalism as with only minor berating from the general quickly reformed and began laying down supporting fire for the mongooses focusing on any infantry that got through the torrent of death and trying to assault the mechs.
For the imperials it felt like an eternity as the orks horde descended upon their lines the ork titans remaining in the back as a seemingly endless tide of greenskin armor and infantry simply charged heedless of their own lives.
Weiss for her part was forced to wield a simple lasgun as she knew not to engage orks in melee unless absolutely needed.
Next to her was yang having the time of her life firing another lasgun as her pistols were ill suited to such a long range.
Meanwhile Blake was having similar issues as herself unfamiliar with the basic human lasgun more used to her melee weapons and pistol.
Ruby however was in her element as she fired round after round of her specialized Exitus ammo dealing death to every important ork she saw focusing mainly on the orks manning the exposed heavy weapons atop the gargant and stompas.
However, Ruby was worried as she was rapidly running out of ammo. That was sadly the bad thing of having such a specialized weapon. But she would happily deal with it if it meant carrying on her best friend's legacy. Still, that didn't help her situation and before she truly ran out, she got up and dove back into the trenches proper. She zipped through dodging the surprised guardsmen manning the trenches and made her way to Weiss.
"WEISS! WEISS!" she yelled as she took cover next to Weiss who was unphased by her sudden appearance.
Instead, Weiss simply sighed and said in a dead panned voice "you ran out of ammo again, didn't you?"
Ruby however merely pouted and said "NO… I am running low though…" she said as muttered near the end and over the chaos of war Weiss almost missed all it, but she heard enough to understand.
"Well at least you stopped before you totally ran out of ammo what about your pistol?"
Ruby winced and stowed her rifle away behind her while pulling out her Exitus pistol. The heavily customized gun had an extended mag and had on a miniature foregrip.
"I got it but you know I don't carry too much ammo for it." Ruby said as she rose up and fired several shots all of which were silent and led to several ork heads exploding open.
"Well, that's what you get for wanting a heavily specialized weapon to go into war with!" Weiss berated lightly although she did understand why Penny was Ruby's rock when she first joined Weiss's retinue. The fact that Weiss was not the best leader when she first started out didn't help Ruby either.
Whatever Ruby was going to say was interrupted as the monstrous roar of engines sounded overhead and the light of Blue Sky's sun was completely covered as Reaper's titanic transports arrived overhead the shields of the great ships uncaring of the amount of AA as their twin heavy plasma cannons rained molten death upon the orks each blast cratering huge holes in the horde clearing the way for the transports to lower close to the ground.
And below to the shock of all combatants was TITANIC titans each the size of an imperator with a massive CLANG! The transport DROPPED the titans upon the cleared space causing the ground beneath them to shake and without missing a beat the titans turned to their orkish counterparts and unleashed HELL. The two types of titans were the Percival armored assault bot and the ironically named Titan heavy assault bot. They also noted that only the Titan assault bot had shield technology as the massive titans seemed to form into two lines with Titans in from and Percivals in back.
The titanic units moved with a speed that shocked them as each step cause the ground around them to shake and the number of bots as well as the speed made the world seem like it was undergoing a severe earthquake.
And their weapons unleashed blasts of superheated plasma the guardsmen would swear looked and felt like miniaturized suns the Percivals fired a single shot each and those single shots flash melted huge holes in the orks stompas and several focused on the mega-gargant hitting it multiple times and blasting open the front the titanic monstrosity. The mega-gargant simple slowed to a stop as the stompas either toppled over due to the imbalance of their missing pieces, or merely slowed to a stop as well.
The orks for once seemed to realize their folly and began to rout but the Titan Heavy assault bots then unloaded a constant stream of heavy plasma shots that disintegrated all it touched.
The orks were fleeing en mass now but just as the guardsmen were about to charge forth they were halted by a rapid series of explosions at the back of the orks rout. The explosions never ceased as even from the trench line the human combatants were able to see the faint shapes of three shapes that let out a continuous flow of explosions that ripped through the orks, and slowly several more shapes came from behind the massive tanks as imperial knight size mechs raced towards the orks they fired their Tom cat machine guns that ripped into the orks.
By the time the humans shook off their shock it was over the orks as well as their warboss was massacred the engineers had begun to reclaim the giant ork stompas and Mega-Gargant as well as the tanks and battlewagon wreaks strewn about the field of dead.
Weiss on her part looked in stunned silence as her mind tried to comprehend such a one-sided massacre that didn't involve humanity being the victim. She feared what would happen to them should Reaper turn hostile, while true he was willing to accept her apology, she was concerned about how he would feel about the imperium at large.
She was not stupid she could see how a being that could create an army essentially out of thin air be horrified by the actions the imperium did especially the sister of battle, the techmagos, hell he might not be able to stand a simple servitor if he was willing to associate with abominable intelligences.
She was brought out of her brooding Blake who gave her a light shake on the shoulder "Weiss what are we going to do about Reaper?"
Weiss was about to answer but Ruby beat her to it
"What do you mean Blake obviously Reaper is a good guy he would totally be willing to help the imperium out that's why the emperor gave Weiss that vision!" declared Ruby stating it with such an innocent tone Weiss had to hold herself from cringing about having to burst her friend's bubble.
Blake merely shook her head and looked slightly sad "I don't think it'll be as easy as you say Ruby. He might not like what he learns about the imperium."
Ruby stopped and looked down missing Weiss nodding her head "just as I was thinking Blake, Reaper is obviously from the dark age of technology since he freely associates with A.I. and I've read reports that our race was at the heights of its power back then. Being from that time might cloud his views to the necessity we as humanity have been forced to do even with the God Emperor at our head."
Before they could discuss more, they were interrupted by Yang's voice "holy hell look up!"
The three turned to see Yang pointing up and they lifted their gaze to see several squadrons of large planes flying towards them.
"Those don't look familiar." Ruby said with her head cutely tilted.
"Hey all of Reapers mechs are clearing the battlefield." Blake noted as she pointed to where the mechs all seemed to high tail it out of the graveyard of orks.
Weiss looked confusedly at this before she noticed a guardsman running down the trench shouting something "-CLEAR REPEAT THOSE BOMBS ARE NUCLEAR TAKE COVER AND DON'T LOOK!"
At that everyone's eyes sprang open as they dove into the trench. The inquisitor and her retinue rushed to the command dugout where they met Mattis speaking over the vox caster "roger hopefully those nukes eliminate the majority of ork spores but to be safe, can your what do you call them engineers? Can they get rid of the left-over bodies?"
"Yeah, and the incoming nukes are clean nukes so their radiation will be extremely limited and only close the blast zone itself, it should clear out in an hour or two." Reaper's voice was heard.
"Understood thank you son." The aged general said
Reaper chortled "your welcome old timer although considering I've been in stasis for who knows how long I believe I should have the title old timer."
"HA!" the general barked "you sound too young to be called old timer." The two laughed at that before the general noticed the inquisitor.
"ah lady inquisitor good you've co-
BOOOOOOOM!
He was interrupted by an ear shredding explosion as the ground rocked as the impact of several nukes incinerated the majority of ork bodies and wreckage. For what seemed like hours the T3 ambassador bombers dropped nuclear bomb after bomb shaking the ground every time.
Finally blissful silence enveloped the dugout as everyone took the time to recover.
Once everyone had a chance to regain themselves the general addressed Weiss.
"ahem as I was saying it's good you've come inquisitor I've spoken to Reaper and he said he was enroute in his ACU." The general said.
Weiss nodded "good we will have much to discuss however before that we must discuss the possibility of Reaper turning hostile in light of certain… information." Weiss stated cringing at the end as she envisioned Reaper not taking… MULTIPLE things about the imperium well.
The general nodded "I was afraid of that as well I've tried to ease the blow, but I don't think he could fully comprehend all that we do in defense of humanity." The general agreed before the Vox came back to life in a burst of static.
"Sir! One of those massive transports are incoming with a massive Titan it's bigger than any of the others! And it has a massive escort!" the voice in the vox said.
The general grabbed the vox "roger that major that's our ally keep all units away from him and clear a place for him to land!"
"already done sir I got the arty boys to clear out from behind the dugout hopefully he'll be able to drop there!"
"mark it with red smoke and I'll tell him to land there!"
"on it general!"
"got that message general I'll drop right at the red smoke!" Reaper's voice came over the vox.
The major let out a surprised string of curses while general Mattis merely sighed "son would you kindly not listen in on our comms."
"that's a no can do general we might have been allies during the battle but a little birdy told me I might not like what I'm gonna be hearing in our little talk." Reaper's voice came back pleasantly but a hint of anger could be heard as well.
Both the inquisitor's and general's eyes widened as a THUD announced Reaper's arrival. They moved out to be greeted by the massive ACU and were horrified to see dozens of giant hovering gunships and planes zipping around on patrol.
"Now then- the massive ACU blared out through hidden speakers- what has happened to humanity!?" Reaper growled and Weiss could swear the glowing red eyes of the ACU pulsed in anger.
(End)
… uh hey everyone one *chuckles nervously* long time no see?
*winces* Yeah I get that listen I've been going through a lot since I last posted a chapter… several… years ago… yeah I just… I lost a lot of will to write so much has happen and hell is still happening to me. I'm about to get my first apartment alone-ish through an unfortunate event of my own making. And I had a lot of mental growing up to do…
Still need to do some more in all honesty but yeah I don't know how this story is gonna go in all honesty like I say for all of my stories if you wanna take this idea for a spin I freely give everyone the permission to do so and I hope ya'll make some epic stories!
Like I wanna see Tangmo levels of epicness from "The Multiverse Project: Warhammer 40,000"
By the way, congrats to TMO for basically doing a better self insert story than I ever will.
Also yes that is Team RWBY cause god damn it Monty took all of the types of girls I like straight from my head and put them on screen and made them badasses (up till he died)
Anyways not to sure where to go from here cause one of my biggest idea would be how the siege of Vraks would look like if Reaper was there? But also how the imperium would react if a power so far beyond their capabilities how would they handle it? Kinda like the anime GATE where modern weapons vs fantasy… infact *smiles evilly*
