Reviewers:
Liljimmyurine: We'll see, we'll see.
Grayangle: I finally got your name right! Anyway, I know that. Still, the blast will destroy the Daemon Princes inside the Eye of Terror. The Inquisition will then begin a massive purge to destroy as many other heretics as they can. The Federation will be told of the hardships xenos have caused, and now that the Emperor is back things will be better. Also, only people who can tolerate living with aliens will be permitted to colonize the ST (Star Trek) galaxy. The Emperor will change the Inquisition to make it more of a police fore and less of a shadowy killer force.
Silvanas: Thank you! Thank you! (Bows to fans, lead by silvanas.) Thanks for the info on the Dragon. Lovin' the idea of the Tomb. He'll probably use the ships hidden in the ST galaxy to collect enough souls to get him back to full power before going back to the 40k galaxy. I'm making the robes black.
PeaceKeeper Dax: The Federation will probably battle a tendril fleet to get their love of war started. As for tech exchange, you'll see. (Smirks.)
The Emperor's battle fleet smashed through Chaos vessels as they pushed into the Eye of Terror. Casualties were high, but the Emperor needed to reach the center of the Eye. Only there could his weapon work. The Chaos Gods knew they had to stop the Emperor or they were doomed. They threw everything they had at the Imperial intruders, but with the Guiding Light leading them, they stood little chance.
"Emperor, we are approaching the eye of the Eye," a Custodes officer reported. The Emperor saw it. A massive tear in space, leaking energy so black it projected negative light. Every person in the entire fleet could feel the hatred and malice pouring out of it, along with a flood of Chaos energy.
"Bring us into position. Ready the main cannon," the Emperor ordered. The Guiding Light moved ahead of the fleet, the cannon at the front deploying. The wings split into three levels that loved up and apart. (Think the Scimitar from Star Trek Nemesis). The Emperor's command throne attached wires to his skin. He felt his energy leaving him, being transferred to the cannon.
"Cannon charging, six minutes to full power."
"Order the fleet to keep the enemy away from us. I must concentrate." He joined his mind with those of the Custodes aboard his ship. In the belly of the ship, the Psychic Engines collected soul energy from all across the Imperium. Slowly, that energy collected at the six wing tips. The Emperor fed his power into the main charging coils.
"Two minutes to firing," the Custodes Commander reported. The Emperor felt the Chaos Gods begin to experience fear. They knew what was going to happen. The charging was nearly complete. The mouth of the Oblivion Cannon glowed with a light brighter than a thousand suns.
"One minute to firing." The Emperor sunk his mind into the energy at the cannon mouth. He felt the pure souls gathered there. No heresy, only the desire to serve the light. This energy, when released into the Warp, would vanquish the evil there. What survived would be severally weakened and pose little threat for a long time. When the daemons eventually reformed, they would find a galaxy filled with faith and purity. There would be no one to corrupt, no one to possess. That was the Emperor's dream, and now he would make it come true. The cannon had gathered its full power; all it needed now was the final burst from the Emperor.
"PURITY LIGHT!" He called, and the Oblivion Gun fired. A massive beam of light swept into the mouth of the Eye of Terror. Where the Warp met real space, a shock wave began. Inside the warp the Chaos Gods saw their doom. They gave what power they could to their Champions, scattering them away from the coming oblivion wave. Then they felt the wave hit them. They cried out in anger and pain, their cries shaking the very fabric of reality. The greatest Daemons to ever exist dissolved into energy that was then transformed into pure light. The same thing happened throughout the Warp, as far as the shockwave could reach.
In real space, the eye of Terror began collapsing. The outer edges flickered and vanished. Daemon worlds returned to their natural forms of vanished all together. All the creatures of Chaos that dwelt in the Eye were destroyed. The Emperor used every ounce of his power to keep the shock wave from destroying his ships.
When the shockwave had finally dissipated, no one could believe what they saw. The Imperial fleet was in empty space. Around them drifted the wreckage of destroyed ships, and in the distance they could see bright, normal stars glinting. It was done. The Eye of Terror, and all its daemon inhabitants, had been destroyed. There were doubtlessly still many Chaos creatures out there. Ones that had taken human hosts. They would be found and destroyed in time. In the warp as well there would be survivors, daemons the wave did not reach. Eventually new Chaos Gods would emerge, but they would be weak because they would have no servants.
With the main threat of Chaos gone, the Imperium could now concentrate on its other enemies. The Tyranid Hive Fleets would fall. The Orks would be exterminated, and the Eldar would at last fade away. As the fleet made to return to Terra, the Emperor drifted into a deep sleep. The firing of the Oblivion Cannon had exhausted him. The second age of the Imperium had begun.
In the other galaxy, the Imperium forces were preparing to take on the Hive Fleet that had been named Hydra. The Federation had become an Imperial strongpoint. The Federation fleet was being retrofitted with Imperium technology. When they were ready, they would begin to speak to the Klingons about joining the Imperium. They would make good troops for the Imperial Guard, if the would listen to reason. If they did not, the Federation and the Imperium would have no choice but to make them.
Sorry this chapter was so short, I promise the next one will be better. In the next chapter you will finally see the Imperial Guard. Also, the Klingons will announce their decision on weather of not they will join the Imperium. So leave reviews and stay tuned for Ground Clash! See ya then!'
