Dawn of War: Where They Belong

Every change to life occurs at random; it leaves surprising results and outcomes. The results of many outcomes are beneficial, productive, and bountiful. There are times when the results are hurtful, demoralizing, and disgraceful. The events of life will either shape a person or break a person.

Chapter 6: Section 6 - 1

The air is warm and hot. Despite having water, the heat is roasting anything that can't handle eighty degrees. The war against the green horde has been hectic, but the advantage is now on their side. The imperial soldiers are ready and enduring the hot weather with ease. Many of the imperial troops assist the tau fire warriors as they discover the hot weather is unbearable for them at times. Suddenly, the air around them becomes cold. Though the heat is fair, everyone feels a brush of cold and hollowness sweep around them. Many eldar of Ctho and the tau are feeling frighten. Every human nearly smiles at what is coming. Suu looks around and keeps her soldiers active. With Shas'O Kais unable to help, the managing of the fire warriors and kroot packs fall to Suu and Aun El Rai. El Rai voices his message to the tau warriors by radio and Suu rushes to find Carl. With Lina not answering her radio, he does what he can to manage those on the ground level. It is almost time for them to advance on the orks. Kayleth and Veldoran do what they can to keep the eldar calm; the void feeling from a blank is never an easy experience. Once the troops are ready, Carl tries to issue the order only to hear Suu calling him from behind.

She says, "What is going on? Why did it get so cold? We are feeling eighty degrees of heat, but it somehow becomes oddly cold."

Carl smirks, "It will be alright. I just hope we see him here. We can use more good news than more opponents to fight."

Kayleth and Veldoran show a small glimmer of hope in their eyes, but it becomes a memory when Xiwe approaches them.

Xiwe says, "I see you chose to involve yourself with the mon-keigh and younglings despite what is going on. And now, something horrible is here on this world. I pray that we will have enough to deal with the crisis once it comes here."

With nothing else holding them back, Carl leads the imperial troops on. As he travels ahead, a few soldiers praise him for his ability to lead them. Without Lord General Militant Lucas Turner around, Carl of the Imperial Guardians has improved his leadership capability tremendously.

One imperial guardsman says, "Carl knows how to not fold under pressure."

A guardswoman brags, "If we ever need more leaders, Carl will be here to see us through the madness."

An imperial guardian proclaims, "Where one leader is absent, there will always be one who stands ready to face the enemy. Carl is that leader."

In his mind, Carl only did what is needed of him. The journey to the ork stronghold is an easy one. The tau join the imperial troops; both factions feel at ease more than ever. Once they are close enough, Carl takes three companies with him to begin the assault; Suu accompanies him with three teams of fire warriors. There is still something unsettling going on yet only some are afraid. As the teams advance into the ork area, Suu stays close to Carl.

She brushes against him, "I don't like this. We should wait until there is more scouting done. Please, reconsider what we are about to do."

Carl looks at her confused, "The orks are trying to regroup. This is our time to go ahead and end the menace. Why do you speak of waiting? If you and your teams can't endure this, return back to your fortress. We know what is coming."

Suu tries to reason with him, but the chatter is cut short. Out from the entrance of the ork base, a single mob moves out. It is a band of small, runty orks. Carl and his team eliminate the group and push deeper into the ork area. The trees have been ripped up; the land is ravaged. Like any mob of typical orks, they leave nothing untouched. Carl and his units move up to find many orks behaving unusual. The orks are beating on each other than watching out for any signs of intruders. The imperial soldiers move in and put down the orks. This is going too easy. Veldoran appears before the group and delivers an unusual message.

He says, "I see you have no issues here and what I fear must be true. The eldar will stay within the area for as long as possible, but something is wrong. The void is near; however, this is different. It can be putting the orks off balance too."

Carl asks, "If you know who it is, then he won't be a threat to us. We all felt the cold brush of the void pass through the land. We know that he is coming back to us. Once he and Lucas return, the enemy won't stand for long against us."

Though they speak among each other, a sword runs through the head of a would be ork chief. As other orks fall to the soil dead from a blade strike, Kayleth looks around to feel the void linger as it fades away. She is unable to see which way it comes from and her kin feel nervous too. They advance further into the area and find a few more orks dead. The eldar check the area. There are no wounds or marks on them. Each ork body looks perfectly fine, but they are all dead.

Kayleth thought, "What kind of force is this? Every ork is dead, but nothing has harmed them phyiscally."

She orders her warriors to burn the bodies. As they begin their tasks, Carl and Suu join them. It is still an easy journey for them with the orks either dead or fighting among each other.

Carl approaches her, "So, I see you and your teams have eliminated the orks here. I was anxious to see if he was in the area."

Kayleth replies, "My kind is not responsible for the dead orks here. Someone else has done this to them."

Suu adds, "If you were not the one, who else could have done this? The tau are advanced, but we have nothing that can do this."

A web way portal opens beside them. Xiwe and Shelia join them. Though everyone is relaxed, Xiwe is concern.

Xiwe says, "So, the foolish mon-keigh and the younglings join us to stop the enemy. Your time here is wasted. It is best if you return back to fortress than risk dying for nothing."

Carl steps to her, "Mind your words, farseer. We do not run from what frightens you so easily. He is alive and doing what he does best. We need Max Johnson now more than ever."

The roar of the orks forces everyone to take up positions around the area; a mob of green muscle comes charging at them with a strong desire to crush and slaughter anyone who isn't an ork. Carl and Suu take to the front, firing into the mobs approaching. Veldoran and his warlocks shock the orks that manage to get close to the front line. Xiwe and Kayleth leap into battle and strike down any ork they see. It is an easy victory for them, but the air still feels cold. Carl and the humans enjoy the fact that the battles are easy. Suu and the tau feel frighten by the experience of this void. The eldar finish up their battles and fall back to their base. Everything is going great. Carl and Suu lead the companies to the final ork battle grounds. In front of them is quite a surprise. The war chief stands atop of his mighty cannon. He roars with pride and his followers howl of their victory. Everyone sees a massive device ready to fire. The war chief points his axe at the enemy.

He says, "You'z humies, grey-skin, and eldar ar in fo ah surpiz! Dis ere weapon will krump ya once and fo all! Prepare ta die!"

The cannon begins powering up and shakes. The gears make a loud, straining sound as everyone moves back to avoid the firing range. Once the weapon is charged up, a single button is pressed. To everyone's shock, the weapon does nothing. After all of the gears straining and massive power up, the great cannon fails to do what it was meant to do. The orks look dumbstruck until random gunfire is heard. A bolter goes through the head of an ork. A second bullet flies through another ork head; the gun fire seems random, but it is enough to throw the orks off balance. Carl and Suu continue to lead the troops to glorious victory, but the cold void is surrounding them all around. The war chief and his remaining orks move in for melee combat, but they are challenged by ogryns, howling banshees, and kroot fighters. Carl and Suu order their fire teams to not fire as they watch the blood of the enemy spray everywhere.

In the distance area, he cleaves the head with ease. Before the next ork can slay him, the man twists his body around the green monster. Once the enemy has its back to him, the sword slashes it. Before the enemy can counter, the man swings his weapon through the neck of the ork again. It didn't take much to keep the orks unbalanced. Ever since he woke up from his slumber, the powers he has is unusual. The abilities are strange, but he tries his best to use them. After eliminating two more orks, he breathes easy and places his sword away. He hears the noise from the others; it is almost over. With the ork threat being done on Xoen, it is time to see everyone. He moves through the forest downhill until he comes to a solid wall of metal. There are voices cheering around the area within the compound. He steps through the opening only to be seen by a few. He walks to them and waves.

A guardsmen shouts, "Noble One has returned!"

An imperial guardian cries, "Max Johnson is alive!"

The words spread like wildfire throughout the ranks of soldiers. Even a few tau warriors and kroot packs pass on the message. It didn't take long before Carl, Elara, Suu, and Asuki are standing face to face with someone they long thought lost or dead. Max greets everyone, but his heart is low with what he knows.

He says, "We can save all the conversation for when we get back to the fortress. I am sorry I wasn't here to help you all out, but that ends today. I will never abandon any of you ever again. Let's collect what we can here and burn any ork bodies left around the land. I'll let you know everything that has happen to me since I have been gone for long enough."

Carl salutes him, "It is good to have you back, sir. Once Lucas returns, we will stop the enemy. It will be just like old times with you both at the front."

As everyone moves out and goes to work, Max stands alone with his thoughts. The events of what he knows is going to be hard to break to everyone. Before he can help, a web way portal opens before him. It didn't take long before Max sees the beautiful yet dangerous Kayleth stand before him. The moment is odd and silent. Max thought this was a pointless moment, but he didn't dismiss her completely.

He says, "Before you start, we will talk once we get back to the base. There will be plenty of time for you to 'share' anything with me later."

As Max tries to leave, Kayleth feels something off about him. She says, "I know that the journey has not been easy..."

Max turns to her and replies, "Do not speak to me of what has not been easy. I may have been gone, but there are some things you don't need to speak of. We will talk about this later. For now, return to your kind."

As he leaves, Kayleth quiets her own thoughts on how he is feeling. There must be more going on than what she knows.

Chapter 6: Section 6 - 2

They praise themselves for all the hard work. The orks are now dead and Xoen is secure for a time being. War Boss Tharacka is still out there with many other orks at his back. The Sons of Malice are still proving to be a threat even if they have been quiet for a long time. For now, Carl happily stands at the front of soldiers with his head up. He leads the army back to the imperial fortress with not only the orks defeated, but Max is right beside him. High above the fortress, the War Harbinger lands at its new platform for repair and refit. They all leave from the ship by shuttle with the recon ships landing just beside the War Harbinger. At the fourth deck overseeing the repairs and departure, Lina keeps her mind focused and knows what must be done. The time she has spent alone is now giving her mind time to recover. Once everything has been set, she takes the last shuttle down. As the Carl, Max, and Elara go to the center tower, they hear the praises from various people all over the fortress.

One group says, "We are going to win this galaxy for the imperium and the future of mankind!"

A second group cries, "We got Noble One back with us. All we need is our Lord General Militant Turner here and nothing will stop us."

A man shouts, "The imperial army will emerge victorious once again. The enemy can't stop us."

A woman roars, "Our time is coming and the enemy shall fail!"

Upon arriving at the command center, they step inside with a group of officers and commandos. All of the eyes in the room widen to see Max Johnson back with the group. It is a huge sign of relief to have back a man that the warp can't touch or harm. Once everyone is accounted for, the meeting begins. The usual reports are handed in for Max to review over and status updates cover the morale, troop count, and expansion. Carl opens the chat with the major concerns.

He says, "The orks of Tharacka have moved further and deeper into the sectors of this galaxy. There is no estimate of how many clans there are now, but if we encounter any of them, they must be put down. For now, use this time to refit, adjust, and try different tactics. I doubt these orks will be foolish any more after the last encounters with us."

Elara adds, "Taking these orks has given me and others a great understanding of what else is out there. I just hope there won't be any more problems like the orks running around."

Max sighs greatly and inhales a deep breath. He looks at everyone as they all turn to him.

He says, "There is no easy way to say this, so I'll just tell you. Lord General Militant Lucas Turner is no longer going to be here with us. He's dead."

A few chuckle under their breath as Max continues, "I know he is dead because of what Balrok had to do. Lucas could've survived, but he knew that if anything was to happen, it would require him to enrage his enemy greatly. He knew that dying meant someone else would replace him, but he didn't express who would be his successor. I could feel his death from where I was when Balrok took more of his warp powers away from me. I'm sorry to ask you of this, but Lina, I need you to show them."

Lina is shocked by what Max knows, but she agrees to do so. She removes a small device from her cloak and places it on the table. The device is red and not blinking.

She says, "This device is connected to another device that I gave our Lord General Turner before he and the tau commander went after the last enemy vessel. Regardless of how far he is from us, as long as the device isn't red, our leader is alive. I was going to issue these out to every imperial soldier for when any of us are sent to the medics for help. This device is connected to the one Lucas had. I take it you modified it for personal reasons, Lina?"

All eyes look on with shock. For a few, hope is lost. For some, it is a personal defeat. It is the sign of danger coming to everyone. The thought of Lucas Turner dead nearly puts fear into every heart. He calls to everyone.

Max says, "I understand that losing Lucas is hard on all of us. Without him, things will be tough. But, I am here to stay and put an end to the orks and the Sons of Malice. We may be cut off from the rest of the imperium of man, but we will be the empire that continues to go on. Nothing will stop us from doing our duty. The rest of you return to your tasks; I'll broadcast the message to everyone and let them know the news. We are still people of the imperium of humanity; we do not keep any secrets hidden."

All the officers salute and take their leave. Only Max, Carl, Lina, and Elara are left in the room. They all look at the chair where Lucas should be at. It is not going to be easy without his input on many matters that come up.

Elara says, "I didn't get the chance to know Lucas for a long time, but I take it he was more than a leader to you three."

Carl contains his sorrow, "He was a leader and great man. He didn't allow too many things to force him to see any failure. I just can't believe he is gone."

Lina sighs greatly, "It is still hard to accept the fact that he is dead, but there will be a proper time to honor him. I already made my peace with him. If anyone needs me, I'll be checking on any repairs around the base and looking to upgrade what we need. But, before I leave you all, I need to give you this, Max. It is a recording for both you and Carl to hear."

She places a small box in front of him and asks Elara to join her outside. The women leave to begin their own task. Carl and Max look at the device; there is a small button on the side of it. Carl pushes it and a small hologram of Lucas appears.

The Lucas hologram says, "If this message is playing, then the worse has happen to me. I understand that this is not what you expect, but the war must still go on. I know you are still alive Max and if not, then I pray many leaders are still alive to carry on the imperium in this new galaxy. In the event of my death, Max is to carry on the will of the imperial army. His word is law; no one is to question his authority. If Max is no longer among the living, then Carl and Lina are to administrate the colony until they pass on. In any case, let the people know of our plans and hear this message from me. We are the best and the last line of defense. The Emperor of humanity is with us even if we are unable to be apart of the empire of mankind. We push on and will continue to drive the Immortal Emperor's will into the stars and beyond. Do not give up and continue to fight. For the Imperium!"

The message ends with Max and Carl somewhat surprised. Max nearly lets a tear leak from his eye. With his final wish being honored, Carl proudly salutes his former Lord General Militant.

Max says, "Well, I didn't expect this to be given to me, but I understand. I'll do more than just honor his memory. We will do more than make the imperium better out here. Before we address everyone with the tragic news, I want you to have something Carl."

To his surprise, Max gives his sword to Carl. He tries to refuse, but Max insists.

Carl pleads, "Max, eh I can't take your sword. It is not meant for me to wield. Lina made this weapon for you. I am not worthy to hold such a blade of grand finesse."

Max happily replies, "Carl, you've been around us the longest. It is only fitting that I bequeath the fire sword to you. The fire sword is just a weapon and if my second-in-command is going to help me lead the troops, then the best weapon is one that burns. So, take it. I want you to use this sword as your new tool of combat as we continue to forge the imperium here in this galaxy."

With his words firm and sincere, Carl grips the sword from Max and humbly accepts the offer. They both go to the controls and get ready; it wouldn't be easy to break the news to everyone, but they would do so. Max takes to the controls and the broadcasting devices send the message. Everyone hears that Lord General Militant Lucas Turner is dead. With his final wishes being sent to all areas of the fortress, many people cry silently. A few soldiers keep their rage in check. Lucas Turner is dead and no one didn't know how Max would run the imperial army. Instead of leaving everyone with more doubt and uncertain thoughts, he gives them a speech.

Max says, "I understand that the death of Lord General Militant Lucas Turner is not something we expected. He was a beacon during our time out here and one of the greatest heroes we had. He was leader to many of us; a grand general to all of us. Mostly, he had the spark that gave us all a reason to go on when all else is impossible to see. I wish I was there to help him, but I wasn't. He made me the successor to continue our fight against the enemy. I understand that I am not a properly trained imperial soldier, but I assure you all that my fire is as strong as an inferno. I won't leave none of you to fight the enemy alone; I will stand with you against the Sons of Malice. Max Johnson is here to keep the imperial rule in full effect. We lost a great man, but the fight for our survival continues. We will find victory here and establish our future. My only question to you all is will you follow me into paradise again?"

The broadcast ends and Max begins to give his orders to those around him. Every man, woman, tech priest, soldier, officer, and able body person gladly accepts their duty under Max. Carl nods and goes out into the open to address the troops. It didn't take much for him to keep order until a person tries to be the new voice of order.

He says, "Our leader is dead. Max has left us too many times. How long must we keep enduring these kind of antics from men who can't even bear the right to lead us righteously? I am the voice of reason. I will lead us into a future, not these pitiful fools."

Carl and Lina find each other heading to the same spot to see this mystery man who dares to bring trouble. Before they can do anything, the second voice of reason is heard. They push through the crowd of people to see her hammering away at the face of the man. She slams her fist into his jaw. Carl and Lina quickly rush over to pull Elara away from him. The man cries for justice to be brought upon her.

Elara objects proudly, "I am not the one who is trying to spread false words to the soldiers. You are not the great leader that the imperium needs. Your duty is to serve your leader and not question his right to rule. If anyone is to be judged here, it is you. Keep your words silent or expect me to do the duty that no one else will."

Carl happily accepts the idea of Elara being a first commissar for them. She shows no sign of fear nor she is not too unwilling to do her duty when cowards spring up. Before the conflict ends, the man pulls out his gun and threatens to shot at Carl. With quick hands, Elara goes for the side arm from Carl's holster. She fires a single shot at the man and ends his life. Carl and Lina are impressed with her reaction. Many soldiers look to Carl only for him to gladly walk to her.

He raises her hand high up, "Elara is the new acting imperial commissar for the army. Any who dare to disagree with our plans for the imperium can take up their complaints with her. There will be no more false speakers, no mad rantings, or non-believers. Noble One Max Johnson is our leader; Lina is still our Blessed Techno Woman and Elara is the commissar. I will be here to help her over see all military operations. Now, return to your task and be ready for further orders."

Max continues to receive any updates from all officers. Lina keeps herself busy with the latest updates for the ships. Elara and Carl both accept their new roles as acting leaders to keep the morale issues low. As they all continue to go about their work, the tau find themselves surprised by the new change of authority. With Shas'O Kais nearly recovered from his previous battle, he and his new acting officers speak with Aun El Rai about what they will do. The tau still continue to search for a planet of their own, but the objective is nearly impossible. In the meeting chamber, they gather around to discuss what will happen now. At the head of the group, ethereal Aun El Rai opens the chat with his usual praise at how far they have come. Commander Shas'O Kais stands just to the left side of El Rai. In front of everyone, Asuki and Suu stand ready to accept their new roles as the tau officers for field operations.

Aun El Rai says, "We gather here today to bear witness to the new commanders for the tau army. Thanks to the evaluation of Commander Shas'O Kais, tau forces deems Suu and Asuki as the new Shas'El. From this day forth, Shas'El Suu and Shas'El Asuki shall lead the tau forces; they will be the acting commanders who will help Shas'O Kais shift the battle in our favor more. Asuki. Suu. Please, recite the oath of the tau commanders."

They both say, "We are one for an empire of many brought together. We fight for the expansion of our belief. We open our ways to those who embrace change. May the Greater Good shine bright and true to those that accept enlightenment."

The pair bow before Aun El Rai as he marks their forehead with the symbol of a new commander. Once done, they begin to discuss their plans for the future of the tau. Asuki is anxious and Shas'O Kais is ready to get back into the battle. Only Suu stands worried about what she has yet to do, but for now, she will wait until it is time.

Chapter 6: Section 6 - 3

It is a new day and the sun is shinning bright. It creeps over the horizon as it touches the sea. Many are waking up to be ready for any sign of trouble. The guards retreat to their own resting place so the next shift of soldiers can take over. The imperium can't waste any more time with being on the defense. They must expand out to a new planet and start a small colony there. Though Lucas Turner is no longer with them, they all still remember his words. Duty. Respect. Honor. The three main words he always told anyone if there ever was a sign of doubt. Never did he execute any soldier for lack of faith. Lucas was a gem to many; however, he was a rare person to have among them. Lina wakes up to feel her bed is less than what it is, but she doesn't suppress what she feels. It will take her some time to accept her lover is gone. The only good news she has yet to tell anyone is the new blessing that grows within her. She would keep her stomach a secret until the time is right. In the barracks zone, Elara takes to her role with great enthusiasm and pride. With no proper place for her to receive the gear of a commissar, she would remind any weak minded guardsmen or guardswomen that lack of faith is a quick punch to the face. Her morning route would keep the soldiers focused. As she takes a look at her first regiment, she scans the eyes of everyone to see who is the one that will give her a reason to slap the sense of duty into them.

Commissar Elara says, "We are here to continue our fight against the orks and the Sons of Malice. I will fight beside you and face the enemies with you. If you have doubt, I'll help remove the doubt by fighting by your side or with a bullet. You will not give up; you will not give into fear nor will you show the enemy your back. In the Immortal Emperor's name, we will deliver his righteous fury unto his enemies. Do you get me?!"

A single soldier steps forward to complain, "But ma'am, I..."

With fast hands, Elara does her duty only to fire a single shot into his leg. The sound causes many troops to remain firm and stand at rest.

She says, "Since we are not in combat, you will not serve on the firing line. Let this warning serve as a reminder to all of you. As long as you do your duty as a guardsmen or imperial guardian, then there will be no need to give any of you a swift lesson for failure to comply. No retreat, no surrender. That is our motto and creed to the emperor of humanity. Do you get me?!"

The soldiers shout, "We get you, ma'am!"

In the distance just beyond her view, Carl and Max watch her continue to keep the troops properly motivated.

Carl says, "Commissar Elara is handling her job well. I didn't expect her to be so quick to adjust her attitude to the ways of any imperial commissar after only a few days. Either the men and women fear her out of respect or she proved her worth to them in a short amount of time."

Max adds, "Or maybe she is anxious to put a bullet through the head of anyone else who is looking to start a worthless cause to replace us. For now, I'll be there to help you two out. I'm counting on you both to keep the morale high and the problems low. I'm going to check on Lina and make sure she is ok. Regardless of her love for technology, she loved that man more than anything in this universe."

The life of many tech priests in the imperium is a long and exhausting path. Many study technology of old and new to continue finding ways to enhance the conditions of living for the average citizen. Though the study for a civilian is low, the improvement for the machine spirit must be always maintain. Max enters the new technology wing to discover that much of it has changed. There are lights around his head and electricity is heard at various junctures. He pushes through area and discovers the power being pulled from various areas. Max calls to her, but there is no reply. Once he is close to the center, Max sees a large chair. He touches the chair and it easily turns around to reveal nothing. No one is sitting in the chair.

Max says, "Lina, I know you are in here. I need to speak with you."

As Max turns to view a new section, it jumps out at him and tackles him. It looks human and has the face of a person. Before he can do anything, Lina orders the human counter part to cease and stand-by. Max looks upon Lina to see her more casual than before. Instead of her robe, she wears a suit recently crafted by her. Max is at a lost for words; the attire on her is easy to slip on like clothes. They both laugh at her new approach.

Lina rubs her stomach and says, "Well, it is not standard tech priest clothing, but I have to start looking after myself."

Max gasps, but she hushes his voice. The news of her conception is still a secret to the others.

He says, "I hope you are not putting too much stress on yourself. Remember to take things slow. I'll expect you to give birth to a healthy child."

She replies, "I will be careful. I just didn't expect this to happen to me. I already had one child, but a second one didn't come into my calculations. I won't be doing too much once I reach five to six months. So, before that gets here, I've been making instruction books and adding my knowledge to them for the others to continue any work I have for them. But, you keep your fat mouth shut about my blessing or I'll make sure you can't give her any kids."

Max laughs at her threat, but he knows that Lina will make good on her word. Before they can discuss any more plans, one of the new systems Lina created goes off. She rushes to the screen and pulls up the statics. Max is impressed with the display of map, but the monitor can't pick up what is found in the south west. She shuts off the monitor and pulls up the planetary hologram. In mere moments, she locates the single ping on the world. It is an imperial message, but the signal is highly encoded.

Lina says, "I don't recognize this. It is imperial, but why is it way out there. I wonder who went that far out to place this. It is familiar."

As they continue to study the signal, a new issues comes to them. Lina continues to study the problem while Max contacts his second-in-command for details on what is happening.

Carl radios him, "It is no major problem, sir. I'll handle it and report any issues back to you. It is just a tau visitor here."

After the radio is off, Carl excuses himself from others as Suu stands before him with eyes of worry and excitement.

Suu says, "I am glad to see you are alive and well. I have a moment to tell you of the exciting news."

Before she can speak, Elara walks over only to find Asuki joining the pair.

Elara says, "Well, I see you are in good health and doing well. It is a shame you didn't join the imperium of man. The tau are great, but they fail in comparison to the ambition of our leaders."

Asuki calmly replies, "I am doing more than better. The tau empire will find its place in this galaxy before your empire expanses to the other sectors of this system. You would do well to remember that the door is always open for you and others."

Carl explains to Elara that the tau are allies while Suu reminds Asuki to never offer them anything. With the Carl and Suu alone again, they discuss what is going on.

Suu says, "I have been accepted as a new Shas'El for the tau military forces. Asuki and I will be receive training to be the next grand tau commanders. But, I must let you know of something before I continue with my training. Your leaders must be here to witness this also. It is important."

He sighs and calls up Max to join him at the tau-imperium camp in the south. In an hour, the important figures of the tau and imperium stand together. Max, Elara, and Carl stand face to face with Aun El Rai, Shas'O Kais, Asuki, and Suu. As the tau wait for Suu to begin, they are interrupted by the sudden appearance of the eldar. Xiwe, Veldoran, Shelia, and even Kayleth appear before them. Though the humans are relaxed at the sight of them, a few tau still wonder if they are here to help or provide information. Max looks upon the face of Xiwe; he didn't know anything about her, but she looks at the room with disappointed eyes.

Xiwe says, "So, here we are again among the foolish and arrogant. I didn't think they had any more worthless leaders among them."

Elara stands to her, "Watch your tone, witch. If you have nothing else to contribute to this matter, leave."

With a wave of her hand, Xiwe uses a simple warp spell only to feel it disappear. She tries again only for Max to step forward.

He says, "You would do well to be here on peaceful terms. Based on what I have been told about you, a lot has been uneasy with your words."

Xiwe tries to use a warp spell on Max. The spell disappears from the air. The shock of Max being a blank nearly sent her into a rage.

She says, "You are a blank. That explains why you failed to stop him, Kayleth. I didn't expect this one to be a problem."

Max scoffs at Xiwe as he exits away from the gathering. To everyone's surprise, Xiwe reappears outside and summons stronger warp powers. A few humans keep the others back away from the area. The ground starts shaking and the air is cracking with lighting. Kayleth leaps in between the two and tries to calm the situation.

Xiwe says, "Move out of the way, foolish autarch! I will finish what you could not and rid the eldar of this problem."

Max raises his hand and taunts her, "Give me your best shot. Let me see how strong you are."

As the power grows and becomes stronger, Kayleth holds up her palms at both, "No, this can't go on. Do not do this!"

Xiwe sends lighting at Max only to see it faded away. She leaps at him and attempts to strike. Everyone sees her fall to the ground and the void comes to all. The cold chill travels through every nerve; many eldar can feel the hollowness come to them despite how far they are from the area. Kayleth and the others back away. Xiwe tries to stand only to feel weaker than before. With the last of her strength, she leaps from Max full of rage.

She says, "It can't be. This is the problem my kin must face! He must die!"

Kayleth steps in front of her, "No, he is no threat to us. Your words are false about who Max is. He is the only one that may be able to stop our enemy."

Xiwe turns her rage on Kayleth, "This is your doing. You allowed your feelings to get this universe killed."

Before any more violence can occur, Max allows his blank powers to stretch out. The void feeling forces everyone to back away as all eyes fall on him.

Max says, "I don't care who you are or what is going on. All I know is the eldar have not been as helpful as they used to be. So, you can take your kin and leave this planet now. The tau are welcomed only until we find them a world to live on. Now, if you are done, get out."

Xiwe orders the eldar to disappear, but Kayleth and Veldoran stay behind. Max orders everyone back to their duties. Only he and Carl stay behind to hear what their allies words.

Veldoran says, "This is not what we want, Max. Xiwe is the new farseer to both eldar of Alaitoc and Ctho. She kept saying how she only sees death coming to us. Now she sees you will be the cause for it."

Carl replies, "Well, your farseer just made sure you are no longer welcome here on Xoen for any reason. Out of respect for you, I will not turn my weapons at you. You still must go and seek refuge elsewhere."

Carl and Veldoran take their leave only for Max and Kayleth to be left alone. The moment is awkward for them, but the tension is high on one side.

Max says, "Whatever you have to tell me, just keep it to yourself unless you are really trying to help us. I've lost my brother to the enemy and refuse to lose any more from here on out. You know which way to go."

As he tries to leave, Kayleth calls to him, "I am sorry that you lost Lucas. If I had known what Xiwe was going to do, I would have prevented her plans to save his life. I assure you that she will not be a problem for you or your warriors ever again."

Despite the answer told him, nothing didn't seem to keep his interest. Max leaves her with no regard for anything that may prove helpful.

Chapter 6: Section 6 - 4

The tip of the fingers can feel the warp twirl in the air. It is calm and relaxing; there is no threat of danger coming to them. Everything is peaceful and promising for the eldar of both craft worlds. A lot of knowledge is shared between craft world Alaitoc and Ctho. Veldoran is surprised by the use of the warp he has now. Many warlocks of Ctho give him a new advantage over his foes. Shelia is reacting the tales of the craft worlds. Many eldar of Ctho can't believe how much has happen to their kind since the Great Fall. All the stories of the legendary Ctho craft world leave others amazed. As the bone singers continue to modify and add to the Faded Light aircraft, all is going well for the time being; however, only one eldar is unhappy with another. Xiwe opens her warp portal to appear before Kayleth. The two agree to go elsewhere away from the others. Although they travel far, Shelia finds Veldoran to alert him of the coming conflict. He agrees to keep out of it as Shelia goes to find her kin. Far in the east near the shore of the ocean, they stand alone with more than just their words ready to be used.

Xiwe says, "I see why he is a threat to us. You failed to stop him this entire time and now he can be the death of us all. Enlighten me on how a simple human proved to be too much of a challenge for you?"

Kayleth answers, "The actions he has taken helped us save our craft world from a greater threat before we came here. I would have gladly killed him; however, he proved more useful alive to us when the real danger came."

Shelia slowly creeps nearby and stays far from them. She sees both have their hands ready to unleash their weapon.

Xiwe peers into the memories of Elenwe only to realize a horrible event. She twists around and throws her lance at Kayleth. Though the attack is easily blocked, the tension continues to grow.

She says, "I see why you didn't kill him when you had the chance. Your own thoughts and actions for him caused you to doubt. You failed your kin by giving into the one thing your craft world has done to protect itself from."

Kayleth protests, "I did no such thing..."

Before another word comes from her, Xiwe recovers her lance and draws on more warp power to use. She enhances her speed and catches Kayleth off guard. Shelia continues to watch and wait.

Xiwe locks her lance against Kayleth, "You spin more words than actual truth. You have fallen into temptation and never truly rid yourself of it. Did you possibly love him?"

Kayleth shoves Xiwe back and allows her powers of Khaine to emerge.

She says, "How dare you speak ill of me? You know nothing of my choices."

Xiwe replies, "I need not know of what your path is. The journey you take will only end with more pain for us. I won't let that happen."

Everything around them begins to slowly shift. The air feels hot and lighting passes through their nerves. Shelia removes herself from the area, but she maintains a clear view of the fighters to see what will transpire. Xiwe takes the guard stance and lets the warp flow through her. It is clear and soothing; she can feel her hands hold tremendous power. Kayleth changes to an aggressive stand. With her gift from Khaine, the raw edge of her rage slowly consumes her. She lets the power of wrath give her more than just a boost of power. The flames of Khaine burst from within and her body takes on the form of the eldar war deity. Kayleth rushes at Xiwe with a hard slash. Xiwe blocks the attack, but the warp erupts from their weapons with each strike. Xiwe twists her body and tries to attack. Kayleth blocks the attack only to see lighting blast from the blade of her staff. The attack knocks her backwards, but Kayleth lands gracefully. The flames of Khaine causes her blood to boil. She takes a swinging stance; the warp builds in the blade and Kayleth slashes towards Xiwe. A blast of fire comes at her in a single wave. Xiwe counters the attack with a shield wall of warp energy. Though the fire blast is blocked, Kayleth leaps through the defense of Xiwe and slams her blade against her weapon.

Shelia thought, "They both are evenly matched. Surely, this can not be what the prophecy has shown her. I hope there is more to it than just a simple fight for supremacy."

Xiwe and Kayleth leap from each other. Neither one shows signs of tiredness.

Kayleth roars, "I am doing whatever it takes to save my kin. You would do well to stand down and no longer continue to change our fate."

Xiwe scoffs, "You are the one who must no longer lead us astray. I see only more death coming to us if you are left in charge of us."

As they continue to draw on more of their power, Shelia sees the tension is heavy between the two for what comes next. She leaps in between the two and calls to them both.

Shelia says, "This is not the way for you both to behave. Our enemy is hoping for us to be at odds against each other than stand as one."

Xiwe removes herself from the area. Kayleth relaxes her power, but she feels that this was more than a challenge for leadership.

She says, "What is her issue? Since her joining with our former farseer, Xiwe has been less than helpful to us and the others. What is she trying to do? Why did she leave without telling us?"

Shelia replies, "As I was told by her, the future of a coming death will consume this galaxy. We don't know when or how. The only thing that is certain is none of us will feel this death come to us. I pray that this unseen force will not come from Max."

Kayleth looks in the direction of the imperial fortress, "I know that Max will not be the end that comes to us. We have nothing to fear from him, but he has changed since the death of his friend. We must keep our distance from the humans for now. With the orks no longer present on this world, we can go further elsewhere away from them and discuss what our plans will be."

Shelia bows humbly and leaves for the eldar base. Kayleth does wonder about how the future will look for them. Lucas is gone and Max has returned with a new attitude on dealing with any xeno.

She thought, "Will you truly be a threat to us, or are you going to save us all?"

Back at the imperial fortress, the routine of improvement continues. In the technology area, many tech priests continue to enhance the fire power of the imperial guard, imperial guardians, and skitarii. Each gun now can take down the orks more effective. The tanks receive an upgrade to endure more damage. All tech priests catalog every failure and success made by them. Among them, Lina helps them with each improvement and reminds all her tech teams an important lesson.

Lina says, "Knowledge is precious to all that seek it, but never forget that you are still a living being."

Despite the loss of her beloved Lucas, Lina continues to show everyone that life is within her. She will always remember why she loved him and how others can live as she does. From studying repair jobs to easing the machine spirit, the technology of the imperial army improves for all. In one of the military zones, she keeps each of them firm and focused. None dare step out of line or cause any problem. She may have been lax on execution, but Elara didn't pause to put a bolter round or more into anyone's body. Every group that passes her by remembers her words for the day.

Commissar Elara says, "You will not fear. You will not give up. You will not give the enemy a second. In the emperor's name, we crush humanity's foes and continue to our path towards victory."

The troops march on with sheer conviction. All imperial guardians feel a sense of pride and take in the moment of dignity as a fighter for the imperium. Every single imperial guardsmen and guardswomen proudly stands at attention for the commissar, believing that true victory is within their grasp. Many packs of ogryns keep their knives sharp and guns loaded for any moment they have to be sent into combat. The Bone'eads among them keep their minds in top condition for when they receive their orders. It didn't take Carl long to finish his patrol of the army. From the weapon checks to the tanks, everything is at peak condition and ready to use. He makes his way back to the command center; Lina and Elara also make their way to meet up with the new leader for the imperial army. A lot of people still didn't want to accept that Lucas Turner is dead. At any moment, they can see him coming out to inspect the troops. The roar of his voice during battle would give the soldiers reason to push on despite wounds. It will take time for them to accept the loss of a great man, but they will never forget who he was to them.

At the command console, Max views the planet to see where they can expand. In the south region, there have been reports of resources that need to be taken. Further towards the west, the mountains continue standing strong with untold wonder waiting to be found. The eastern land holds more possible ways for farming to be made. Lastly, the north is a vast ocean of unknown miles. There is no telling what is out there, but the discovery piques many interests. As they stand by going over the data and information from the scouts, he looks on with eagerness and stands ready to give his orders.

Max says, "I need the tech priests to create new ships to scan the oceans of Xoen. We need to know what is out there in the water. As for the land, I want scouts to go out as far as one hundred to three hundred miles and make marks along the way. For each mark after every fifty miles, there will be a central point for a base setup. The imperial fortress will extent out over five hundred miles in all directions. We will have five fortresses on Xoen to harvest, collect, study, update, and improve the living conditions for future generations. We won't completely ruin the soil nor do too much to harm the planet. After the fortresses are created, we will leave everything else to the wilderness. The operation will begin tomorrow morning. For now, finish up your tasks and let the scouts get as much rest as they can. That's all for now. Dismiss."

As all the second-in-commands leave, Max sees three familiar faces approach him.

Lina reports, "All of the areas for the tech teams, engineers, and tech priests are in great condition. If anything needs to be repaired, they have taken care of it. I've given them the rest of the day off to let their mind rest from the work. They wanted to continue working, but I forbid it due to the strain."

Elara reports, "All soldiers for the imperial army are in perfect formation. None dare step out of line or question my authority, sir. Everyone is ready to follow your lead for the next task at expanding the human empire for the emperor."

Carl reports, "Every tank, drop ship, and transport is well reinforced. The weapons have been upgraded and the armor is stronger than before. I checked over the rifles and the upgrades on them. Everything is looking promising for us. I doubt the orks will be a threat to us when we see them again. I pray they won't give us too much trouble either."

Max holds his hand up and replies, "I am sure that everything is great, perfect, and up to date. For now, I hereby order everyone to take a break for today. Tomorrow morning is the day for us to begin our development. The tau are not to be harmed or attack during any of this. We will still help them find a safe planet to take for their own. Tonight, we are here to rest and relax."

To their surprise, Max made sure all orders for the expansion will only start tomorrow morning. Many soldiers, officers, commanders, and ranking officials find it quite a surprise that they are being ordered to rest for the day. The message is passed on to the others, and the four leaders of the imperial army take a moment to breathe in all of the challenges they will continue to face. Max, Lina, Carl, and Elara all take a moment to view how far they came. Though only one of them is still new to imperial regulations, she makes up for it with stories that she learned from the old.

Chapter 6: Section 6 - 5

The hand slides over the console to the other side. It presses the button to activate the generators for the base to come online. All around the tau fortress each area is filled with lights and power. The houses are bright within; the military buildings shine brightly. The humans from the hive city are still amazed and beyond words on how to describe the experience. Many didn't believe they would ever see the stars again or ever see beautiful trees with a leaf. There are so many things that no one didn't know still exist. Though many people are still accepting the term Gue'vesa, the life style of the tau has given others a new way to appreciate life. The studying of the Greater Good concept has her more than intrigued; the words open her mind to more than the possibility of hope. Each person that followed her has been given purpose.

Many decided to be simple farmers to provide food for the empire. Those that didn't know what to do were assign to be technology analyst or production laborers to continue making what the military will need. Anyone too sick to help is sent to the medics and doctors to recover from any problems. The weak are safely inspected and improved on for the advancement of the empire. Out of all the new wonders the new gue'vesa are seeing, only Asuki finds herself ready to accept the charge given to her. Many tau officers find the advancement pointless since Shas'O Kais already commands the full authority of military; however, Aun El Rai sees this method as a way of showing more than a positive standing within the tau.

Aun El Rai broadcasts to all: "Brothers and sisters, allies and comrades. Hear me now, as we welcome our newest leaders for the tau military forces. Commander Shas'O Kais is and always shall be the ruling authority for our military. Now, he has two able body leaders to help him lead our forces into the dark space. Suu has proven herself able in battle and has earned the title Shas'la. Even Asuki now holds the rank of Shas'la and stands ready. We have come far and must continue to go further. We will find ourselves a home from where the tau empire can grow."

Shas'O Kais and Suu welcome and greet Asuki with great joy. She didn't understand why she was picked as the next leader for the tau army. Asuki bows to her superiors, but formalities are kept short. Once the crowd leaves, Asuki and Suu walk together to continue her training. Shas'O Kais returns to Aun El Rai to continue discussing the future of the tau.

Suu says, "The title you hold will ensure that the humans will follow your lead more than follow Shas'O Kais. You and the others will make fine citizens of the tau. This is the best time for cooperation and morale to be at its finest. I will teach you what I can, but there will be a few moments when you must be able to take charge. I hope you are ready for this. You showed great resolve at the hive city."

Asuki replies, "I'm surprised at the enemy; they had the gall to show us how mad they were. But, I do hope to live up to the grand ethereal's wishes. But enough about the enemy, what of our allies? I am sure Elara, Carl, and even this Max person will be of great help to us once we acquire a new planet for us to live on. Maybe Lina will share some technology with us."

The mention of his name sends a warm feeling down her spine. Suu shows signs of joy and doesn't hold back.

She says, "It is important I see him now that we have a moment of peace. He must know of the recent developments. For now, study some of our history and go through the codex of our military. I must go and take care of some business. I shall find you later."

Asuki takes her leave and Suu hurries to find her leaders. Shas'O Kais understands her choices, but Aun El Rai didn't agree with idea. After they finish with the reports, Suu approaches them and hopes for their understanding in the matter.

Aun El Rai opens the chat, "First, I want you to understand how grateful we are for the services you have provided, but this human you have chosen for your method is somewhat curious. We do always need the best; my only question for you is simple. Why pick him?"

Suu answers proudly and joyfully, "Carl is a loyal human to his empire. He fights for not just the glory of his people, but he pushes for the ideology to expand throughout the galaxy. His want to see the imperium ruling the known universe is what draws me to him. Carl is showing ordinary people that anything is within arm's length if they just reach out for it. The fighting he displays against the enemy shows his bravery and will to challenge any force that stands in his way. Carl will be a perfect choice for me."

Shas'O Kais adds, "Are you sure this will do? Will he accept this?"

Suu replies, "His path is clear for him. Carl is a perfect candidate for me. I will approach him on the matter and make sure he is willing to agree to this. You have my word. All I require is twelve hours."

Shas'O Kais and Aun El Rai nod their head in agreement to Suu. They highly doubt she will need that long to convince Carl to agree due to him being a simple human. With the tau forces all finishing up the day before tomorrow comes, Suu decides to head over to the imperial fortress to make contact with Carl. The night time comes over the land and it is full of life. In the tau fortress, many people adjust to the new living conditions. They happily jump for joy in their new home. Many men are ready to learn new skills and practice using the fire arms of the tau. The women clap their hands after seeing the way their food is prepared. The tau fortress is alive with so much activity as everyone keeps enjoying their new allies and new roommates. Over in the imperial fortress, they celebrate their new, stable base of operations.

In one area, they drink away some of their worries but honor the words of their late leader. Lord General Militant Lucas Turner was everything; he gave them everything and died for the greatness of the imperium. Noble One Max Johnson is now leading the army in a similar manner. The morale is low and high all around the base. As much as Max wants to give up the title, he honors his fallen brother-in-arm to keep them going. The lover of Lucas still recalls all the time they spent together. Lina was truly happy with him despite the several rules of the imperium that were broken by them. Normally, she can easily turn off emotions with a simple device. She was taught that flesh is weak and emotions are not worth the time. The only difference now is what she feels in her heart.

Max looks out into the stars with his mind set on fighting the enemy and thought, "I know you are out there. I won't forgive you for what you have done to my friend. You may think you have won, but this isn't over. I will find you Balrok. And when I do, I'll send you back to your master in pieces."

Carl submits his final report and sighs tremendously. After going over so many papers for weapons, tanks, ammo, and soldiers, the only thing coming to his mind is a fair amount of sleep. He still wishes to get the night going, but he follows the command of Max to the letter. He opens a bottle of fine wine and sips it. He relaxes in his chair and sees the future slowly unfold before him with every passing day. Now he recalls the days of battling under the command of Lucas. From the orks of War Boss Bone Snappa, he followed his words faithfully. Every time he came close to slaying a second-in-command warchief, Carl knew he was doing the duty charged to him. For every ork killed, the planet is less troubled by them. Now, here comes the dark eldar to mind. Carl was often close to the meetings that Max, Lucas, and Lina had. The plans upon plans upon plans still sound amazing. Though Rela and her kin gave them quite a fight, the imperium prevails over its enemies.

He thought, "One leader has been taken from us, but we have a hero that will stay true to his word. Max will be the leader that we need if we are to survive this battle and win against Malice."

A knock comes to his door. Carl sighs and goes to open it. There can't be a single time he recalls having a break from issues since he has taken an important role. He opens the door and finds a soldier standing before him with a confuse look on his face.

The soldier says, "I understand that this is late, but you have a guest. She comes to you with news."

Carl agrees to the meeting only to learn it is Suu. He finds her standing just a few feet from his home. The soldier takes his leave and Suu comes over to him.

She says, "I am glad you are willing to see me. I didn't think you would be up for it given the loss of your last leader."

He replies, "Well, such is the life of any imperial soldier or leader. We face death as more than a welcome. It is a chance for those to be at the side of our Emperor of Mankind. For the fools and damn, they face only oblivion at the hands of the Chaos Lords. But, I am sure you are here for more than just a random chat."

Suu steps inside. Carl takes a notice to how she is dressed. She is wearing a bright yellow outfit that reveals her skin at her sides, elbows, and lower back. He nearly drops his bottle of wine only to catch it quickly and regain his focus. Suu is beautiful and her skin is smooth.

Suu says, "I understand this is late, but I had to see you to tell you the news of my time being around you. I will try not to take up your time. And you had to hear it too."

She continues, "After our battles against the enemy, I have watched you battle the enemy with relentless courage and might. You fought the orks unafraid; you even battled the followers of Malice unshaken. I kept believing that you will die from exposing yourself to so much danger. I didn't understand it at first until I saw your Lord General in act. He went at the enemy with bravery in his heart and devotion in his mind. Not once did he falter in the face of evil."

Carl approaches her and says, "Is there something you are trying to tell me?"

He hears her breathing quick and slowing her breaths down. Her eyes light up with anticipation of what to say. Suu shakes with nervous hands; Carl offers her wine, but she declines to drink it.

She answers, "I want to know if I can borrow some of your blood for a small study we are conducting. It won't hurt, but it may open the door for future benefits for all humans that join us. I would ask the others to do so, but they haven't been around as long as you have. Won't you please help me?"

A moment of silence occurs before Carl takes a long swallow of wine and says, "You clearly need it for something, so why don't you just tell me?"

Suu wants to hold his hands, but she maintains her stance. She says, "It is just a simple test. We are making sure that if blood from you can keep us alive for a blood transfusion, then blood from the others within our empire can do the same. I agreed to test out the theory, but I want your blood to be used for this. I understand if you don't want to.."

Carl hushes her voice with his fingers on her lips. He agrees to the test. To his surprise, she hugs him greatly. Suu is happy to hear him say yes. He clears his throat for her to let go. Instead, she looks into his eyes. He stares at her for a moment. It is as if the universe is in perfect harmony with them. They shake off the moment and regain their focus on the blood procedure. Suu pulls a small device from her side and presses the button. A series of banging occurs on Carl's door. She opens it to find her drone ready.

Carl shakes his head, "I should've figured you had one of those things near for when I said yes or no. I'll agree to your method, but how much blood is it taking?"

Suu answers, "It will only take one liter of your blood. You will feel tired afterwards, but you won't die."

He takes a seat and rolls up his sleeve. The drone floats over and reveals a needle from one of its many arms. The drone begins it task as Carl drinks the rest of the wine down. Suu is happy that the human of her interest is going through this. Shortly, the drone stops and a liter of blood is quickly taken back to the labs of the tau. Suu bids Carl goodnight only to receive one more surprise. Due to the lack of blood missing and wine consumed, he throws himself at her. Suu is pressed against the wall as she feels his hot breath on her face.

Carl says, "Hey, you can't leave yet. You didn't give me something."

Suu wonders what he meant by his words. A hand slides down her back as he feels the skin. Though xeno in his eyes, the mind is now a fog of desire. The other hands presses gently against her face. Both eyes lock on the eyes of a gray skin female. With quick hands, he lifts her against the wall to hear her gasps with shock and surprise. As the night continues to become quite the event, they continue to rest in complete stillness. Near the edge of the base, they stand perfectly motionless and watch the area. For them to sleep, it is almost a complete blessing. Further in, the warp of the eldar sings in harmony. Veldoran uses his power to keep a steady flow of warp power going around the area. The other warlocks of both craft worlds use the same method. Though many fear what awaits them on the other side of life, the eldar now view the end of life as a promise to be at peace. They float face to face in the air apart from each other. The issues between them are still at a high due to old wounds that were never healed. The more the warp that passes through them, the more the room heats up. The only question that remains:

"Is this the path that you will follow?"

Hello to all the followers that have been reading this and passing it along, I will be taking a break from this again due to my health acting up. No, it isn't Covid-19 but I will return when I can and yes, I still recall a lot of spelling and sentence issues throughout the series. I will let you know these next few surprises.

1. Noble One Max Johnson is the new Lord General Militant for the imperial forces.

2. Elara is the first official commissar, yet she isn't as harsh as the ones we know.

3. Carl will get an unexpected shock in the next story that will be hilarious.

4. Autarch Kayleth and Farseer Xiwe will finally get the main problem out of the way.

5. Aun El Rai and Shas'O Kais will find the tau a world worth living on.

6. Lastly, the random ork parties and Sons of Malice still have a role to play.

To those who are still reading this, I will give it a good ending. Yet as we know, the 40k warhammer universe will always have war, but this group of heroes may experience peace in a galaxy free of the Chaos Gods. With only one Chaos Gods in this new galaxy, they will either stop it or fall to his might. For now, leave your remarks and stay safe out there. Have a good one and I will return.

See ya, Big Boss Pugh.
