Me: Hello everyone.
Trin: Sup.
Me: It has been brought to my attention that I forgot to mention a few things and that I need to clear others up.
Sarah: One: Chaos has not been defeated. I apologize for Trey's unclear explanation of that.
Trin: Two: To all xenos except the Eldar, the Imperium still acts like its old self.
Me: And three: Since the Imperium is allied with the Eldar, yes, they use the webway.
Trin: That's all for that, this chapter introduces an OC given by FPSLiverpool.
Me: Now that that's done. On with-…
Trin: WAIT! One other thing, in the eyes of the Eldar, as in part of their religion, the Emperor is the god's chosen…don't question the excuse.
Me: …We'll go with that then. FOR THE EMPEROR!
Trin: FOR TANITH!
Sarah: FOR THE GODS AND THE EMPEROR!
Invasion
[Imperial Galaxy, Outer Territories, Lothal orbit]
Ezra sighed as he followed Zeb and Sabine into the market for supplies. The three of them were sent while Chopper, Kanan, and Hera repaired a few minor damages to the Ghost. He had been hoping it would just be himself and Sabine, but Hera had ordered Zeb to also go.
"Anyone else feel like something really bad is about to happen?" Sabine said, her helmet now on and her hands at her blasters.
Before Zeb or Ezra could comment, a ship came flying towards them. It stopped just above the market and opened, revealing soldiers in unknown armor to them, with unknown blasters.
"For Tanith!" One in an officer type uniform and wearing a strange cap said before the soldiers jumped out.
Sergeant Sarandiel of the Tanith First and Only, or Gaunt's Ghosts as they were commonly called, smiled as she jumped out of the transport. The Ghosts were ordered to deploy on the planet below as the Imperium's first wave. Sara started laughing as she charged straight at one of the Storm Troopers before her.
They were the first ones to fight against an opposing Emperor's armor. They were the first to fight a false emperor.
"Another first for the First and Only." Sara said out loud as she imbedded her bayonet into the gut of one of the Storm Troopers.
"Tell me about it." Muril said from next to her.
The Tanith scout quickly slit the throats of several Storm Troopers that had attempted to surround her. Sara laughed for a second, but stopped when a las shot nearly hit hers and Muril's heads before hitting another Storm Trooper. Sara turned and glared at the offending Guardsman, a trooper named Cuu. Sara groaned. Out of every member of the Ghosts, Cuu was the one she liked the least. She was actually concerned that the man was a follower of Khorne.
"The feth? Watch where you're shooting Cuu!" Muril shouted.
"My mistake." The other Ghost replied.
Sara wasn't sure if that meant his missing their heads was a mistake, or if his coming that close to hitting them was a mistake. She hoped it was the latter. Muril grumbled something under her breath before hearing what sounded like artillery. She looked at Sara.
"They reacted fast." Muril said as Gaunt ordered them into cover.
Muril, Sara, and –unfortunately- Cuu managed to get to a building just as laser like artillery started hitting the ground around them. Cuu got up and coughed as Muril groaned while picking herself up.
"Well that one…gak." Sara said as she lifted her head to see the barrel of a pistol.
Holding said pistol, was a woman in red armor that was painted multiple ways. Behind her was a boy with what looked like a chainsword's handle and…
"Xeno filth." Sara said angrily as she spotted the alien creature holding the strange rifle.
"Says the xeno hybrid." Cuu muttered.
"Shut up you Emperor damned piece of feth!" Sara shouted back.
"Who are all of you?" the woman questioned, sounding more like a teenager than what Sara thought her actual age was.
"Sergeant Sarandiel Alexis of the Tanith First-and-Only." Sara said, still glaring at the unknown xeno.
"Sabine Wren." The armored woman said, still not moving the gun.
"And who might your…interesting associates be?" Muril asked, managing to make interesting sound like an insult.
"You wanna go, then say it. I'm happy to oblige." The xeno said.
"Oh look Sara, it talks."
"THAT'S IT!"
"Zeb wait!" The woman shouted.
Muril yells before charging the xeno. Sara groaned before looking around to notice something.
"Where the hell did Cuu go?" She thought before tripping the woman and running towards where she heard footsteps coming from.
Before heading up a flight of stairs, she noticed something blinking. Sara went closer to it and saw something that made her gulp in fear, and frown in anger. What she found was an Imperial Guard, specifically Tanith First-and-Only, issue demo charge.
"Knew there was a reason I didn't like the fething bastard. TAKE COVER!" Sara shouted before using the thickest object she could find as a shield.
Ironically, she had grabbed the xeno that was attacking Muril. The xeno yelled once before the device detonated. Seconds later, Sara and Muril were getting up, coughing from the blast's force as they did. A groan from the xeno as she moved its limp body told her it was still alive.
"Damn, guess I was hoping for to much that it would die from the blast…I wonder if its friends died?" Sara wondered, only to be answered by a pair of groans from the other room. "Do the gods and the Emperor hate me?"
Sara nodded to the stairs and both Ghosts shot after the traitor. They got to the top of the stairs and found something they didn't expect.
"Is that-…?" Muril started.
"…-Bragg's warknife?" Sara finished.
The hybrid became even more enraged. 'Try Again' Bragg had been a friend of hers, and now she finds out that he was betrayed by a fellow Ghost?
"No…just a traitorous Guardsman." Sara thought. "Cuu's no Ghost."
"I'M GONNA KILL THAT GODS DAMNED TRAITOR!" Sara shouted.
"Oh, now its gods damned also? …The hell did he do to not only bring down the Emperor's wrath, but also the wrath of the gods?" Muril asked.
"HE KILLED BRAGG!"
"Took you long enough." Cuu said from behind them.
The two turned to see him holding a las gun…with several of the Storm Troopers with him. The difference between these Troopers and the others was that they had black armor with marks of Chaos carved in.
"…If we survive this…remind me to get that 20 from Criid." Sara said as Cuu smiled before pointing at the pair.
"Too bad I didn't make it in time to save you two huh?" Cuu asked with a smile. "FIRE!"
The two Ghosts dove out of the way as several blaster bolts hit where they had been.
"What was that?" Zeb asked as they heard blaster fire from upstairs.
"Come on. That's Storm Trooper weaponry!" Sabine shouted.
"Who put you in charge?" Zeb grumbled.
"Hera." Both Ezra and Sabine answered.
"Oh…right." Zeb replied as they started running upstairs.
"Emperor preserve us." Muril said as she started using her Long Las at close range.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!" Sara shouted again as she continued to fire her Hot-shot upgraded, Mk III Lasgun and her Hellpistol.
"I still question how you got those, Sara." Muril said as she took the time to aim at the head of a Storm Trooper.
She pulled the trigger and was rewarded by the soldier's head disappearing. She took aim at another Storm Trooper and watched as he fell from blaster fire. Suddenly the group of three suddeny appeared and began firing at the Storm Troopers.
"Hey Sara…Sara?" Muril asked, as the hybrid, and Cuu, was no where to be found.
Sara lost the breath in her lungs as a quick punch hit her gut. She responded by slamming both her fists onto Cuu's unhelmeted head. The traitor groaned before stumbling backwards. Small as she was, Sara had a lot more strength than people thought she did.
"You'll die for that." Cuu said before pulling out his straight silver.
"You first." Sara replied as she took out her own bayonet.
"FOR GHAOS!"
"FOR THE GODS AND THEIR CHOSEN!"
With that, the two soldiers charged each other. Cuu thought he had the upper hand over the Tanith born hybrid. He was, in fact, wrong. Sara not only had strength, but she also had speed. It also didn't help that she was channeling her rage into her attacks. Cuu only realized this after being pushed back several times. He suddenly grabbed Sara's wrist and stabbed her arm. She cried out in pain for a second, but didn't drop her blade. Instead, she dropped it in he other had and flipped the blade around. Without thinking, or looking, she stabbed.
Not feeling any pain at first, Cuu looked down questioningly before seeing where she stabbed. Then the pain hit him. It sounded like Cuu was being put through torture so bad that even the Chaos gods wouldn't put anyone through it. And Sara laughed at it.
"I wasn't even trying, but I won't argue with the results." She said as Cuu stumbled backwards, blood pouring from what used to be his 'family jewels.'
Sara's smile then disappeared as she slowly walked up to the cowering traitor. She picked up his bayonet on the way to him and used both to hang him on the wall. She then pulled out Bragg's warknife.
"This is for Bragg." Sara said as she sliced open Cuu's gut.
She then stood back and watched as the traitorous Ghost bleed out.
"Damn…that was brutal." Muril said from behind Sara.
"Was less than he deserved." Sara said before turning around.
"You need a medic…where's Curth when you need her?"
Sara looked at her friend questioningly before looking at herself and finally noticing her wounds.
"Oh." She said simply before falling over.
Muril ran over and caught her just before she hit the ground.
"Hold on, I called for Ana, she's on her way."
"…Better…do…this…now…then."
"What?" Muril asked before being answered by Sara grabbing her head, pulling her closer, and kissing her.
It lasted for a second before Sara stopped and released Muril, leaving the other Ghost completely speechless and with a shocked expression.
"Damn…that felt good." Sara said before passing out.
"Wh…what?" Was all Muril managed to get out, as Ana and two other Ghosts showed up. "…What just happened?"
"I blame you for this." Josephine said as she fired her shotgun at several oncoming Storm Troopers.
Sister Theresa, being mute, just glared at the younger Sororita.
When Canoness Stern's squad was sent down, she had decided to split them off into two Sister teams. Being the two best close quarters fighters in the squad, Theresa and Josephine had been sent together. While the two worked together easily and well, Josephine's curiosity had a tendency to annoy Theresa, or cause the older Sister problems. One such problem was what they were dealing with now. Josephine had thought she heard something coming from the building next to them and had instantly gone to investigate.
Inside they found nothing until a bolt of red energy impacted Josephine's armor. The Battle-Sister's response was to fire her shotgun wildly. Theresa had been surprised when the somewhat idiotic maneuver had revealed invisible Storm Troopers wearing black armor.
Another problem presented itself when the pair discovered that the black clad Strom Troopers had much, much better aim than their white armored counterparts. Every shot they took was either a glancing shot, direct hit, or meant to keep the two behind their makeshift cover.
The fact that several would turn invisible and try to get close was only a minor annoyance. The former Valkyrie's senses were sharper than anything Josephine had ever seen, and these Storm Troopers learned that the hard way.
"I'm almost out of ammo for my shotgun." Josephine informed the other Sister.
Theresa had yet to actually use her Bolter, instead relying on her power axe. Josephine had used up all but twelve more shots for her Assault Shotgun.
"For the Empire!" Someone shouted behind them.
Without looking, Josephine pointed her shotgun behind her and fired, sending the offending soldier flying. Most of him anyways.
Before anything else could happen, a large hovering vehicle broke through the wall. The two Sisters of Battle looked at each other and then at the 'tank.'
"Not good." Josephine said as the two started running.
The tank turned to follow them and began firing lasers and missiles at them. As they ran, several Storm Troopers attempted to stop them, only to be gunned down by Josephine's shotgun. The turned a corner and found a hallway to small for the tank to fit through. They ran into it and turned to see the tank stop in front of it.
"Ha, can't get us now. What are you gonna do now heretics!?" Josephine shouted mockingly.
At that, a Storm Trooper climbed into the turret on the tank and began firing the beam weapon at them. The pair began dodging the blasts and firing their weapons at the same time. They continued to fire as several Storm Troopers climbed over the tank to attack them.
"For the Empire!" One shouted just as the wall behind the tank collapsed.
Before its pilot could even consider turning it, the Leman Russ main battle tank destroyed it. The Sororitas watched as the Storm Troopers turned and fired uselessly at the tank. The younger of the two attempted to hide her laughter, but failed miserably. Josephine began laughing continuously as the Storm Troopers tried to stop the tank.
"I…can't…believe…they…think…that'll…work." Josephine said as she tried to regain her breath.
Theresa sighed before firing her Bolter at the Storm Troopers, making Josephine focus and the Troopers turn to them. Before anyone else could fire, several Imperial Guards arrived, all of them wearing a camouflage cloak.
"FOR TANITH!" The group's Commissar shouted.
"CHARGE!" Josephine shouted before pulling out her Bolter and running towards the Storm Troopers, the Ghosts right behind her.
"New?" Gaunt asked as he walked up to Theresa.
The older Sister made the universal sign of 'somewhat.'
"Young?" Gaunt corrected.
This time Theresa nodded yes.
"Oh…my aching head." Sara said as she sat up in the medical cot she was on.
The Eldar-Human hybrid looked around to see that she was in a surprisingly empty medical tent. There were only two other cots occupied by people with minor injuries.
"So you finally wake up."
Sara turned to see Muril sitting there. The red head smiled at her friend.
"So…what as with that kiss?"
"Oh…um…nothing. Just a spur of the moment thing." Sara replied nervously. "Guess I was wrong about which way she swang."
The other woman stopped smiling and looked Sara right in the eye.
"You're a horrible liar." Muril said before grabbing the front of Sara's shirt and pulling her close.
Before the hybrid could say anything, Muril was kissing her.
"Or not." Sara thought as she returned the kiss.
While this was happening, Ana Curth walked in.
"Alright Sara you're good-…" She stopped when she saw the two Ghost women. "…You two…let's give them some privacy."
That caused the two women to stop and look over at their completely stunned Ghost brothers.
"What? Never seen two people kiss before?" Sara shouted.
"Nah, just never seen two women kiss before Sarge." One of them called as both got up and followed Ana.
"You've got twenty minutes. Gaunt wants us up front." Ana called to the two remaining Ghosts before closing the tent.
"Only twenty?" Muril asked.
"…We can make it work." Sara said before pulling Muril closer.
"Where are those three?" Hera thought to herself as she watched the smoke rise from where the market and city were.
"We may need to go get them." Kanan said as he walked up behind her.
"Alright, I'll start up the Ghost. You just start praying that we don't find their corpses instead of them." Hera said as she got back onto the Ghost.
"That's not all I'm worried about." Kana said as he followed her, the smoke stack growing larger as he did.
"Sir. You're being ordered to fall back." A Storm Trooper told Agent Kallus.
"What? The battle is barely starting. We know they're here we'll just start pushing them back now." The Imperial Agent all but shouted.
"That's the problem. We were pushing back one of their units and something else appeared."
"What was it?"
"We don't know, but the group that attacked them hit them with everything they had before we lost contact."
"And?"
"We sent a scouting team to see what happened, and all they found were corpses. What ever these are, they're heading this way."
Agent Kallus grumbled before doing as he had been ordered. He only stopped at the transport to take one last look at the warring city before it closed and brought him to a different location.
Unknown to Kallus, had he waited half a second longer, he would have gotten to see what it was that killed the Storm Troopers, even if he would have died quickly after.
"Take it down, take it down!" One of the Storm Trooper Sergeants there shouted.
"NO PITY, NO REMORSE, NO FEAR!" An Adeptus Astartes of the Black Templars chapter shouted in response before cutting down the Sergeant with his powersword. The rest of the Storm Troopers were quickly and efficiently killed by the Space Marine's brothers.
"FOR THE GOD-EMPEROR!" The Space Marines shouted together as they finished off the remaining Storm Troopers.
