All hope was lost, the realm gates had closed forever, Sigmar the King of the Gods had turned his back on the realms and sealed himself away, with the lucky few that managed to reach him in time.
The Sylvaneth once the greatest of the realms defenders, were now little more than a shadow of what they once were. Even now they fight against Nugles rot, but their numbers are rapidly dwindling, for the great unclean one, does not just bring armies.
He also brings diseases and illnesses of all sorts.
With each battle that passed his grip on the real strengthened, every fallen minion, was like a battery that only increased the speed of his infection.
Soon the land itself began to ooze, like if it had been rotting from the inside, the plants had begun to come to life and would grasp onto an unsuspecting victim and hold them there, until that person or animal became a part of the plant itself.
Fungus, worms and creatures would soon begin to grow out of them, the only thing that remained of their former selves, was their desperate calls for help. But how could one help them, when even death is no release.
One could find moments of safety, places inside deep caves or high mountains that hadn't been infected, offer much-needed relief from the hellish world that had become their realm, but even these places were vanishing from existence.
So like many that had come before, they now found themselves surrounded by a more of lost souls, foolish people that had gone to the side of chaos in hope that by siding with those insane creatures, they would be spared.
Unfortunately for them, those lost people would soon find themselves voting from the inside out, their bodies alongside their minds became homes for billions of bacteria and touring creatures would grow from them.
Gurgle sees nondifference between his followers, the realms themselves and the smallest of bacteria.
Men and woman fought if the insane people, desperately hoping that they wouldn't touch them or a piece of their attackers didn't land on them, for the smallest of pieces was so tainted, they the person would soon begin to break out in sours.
They fought off their attackers with what little they had, sticks-swords-rocks-guns and when all else failed their bare hands, but nothing they did seemed to even affect the now insane people.
All of a sudden a loud roar echoed all over the land and a giant made of metal fell from the sky, the followers of Nurgle ran up to him, but a magical barrier kept them away, not only that it burned them until there was nothing left.
"Hurry there isn't much time." The metal giant said, as he lifted a large cannon he carried into the air.
No one moved, for no one had ever seen a giant like this one, especially in a realm were nearly everything was made of things that naturally occurred in nature.
"Hurry our presence hasn't gone unnoticed" the giant insisted as a massive continent made of metal lowered itself from the sky.
The massive continent began to let out a wave of multicolored lights that set off a chain of explosions when they touched the land itself.
"Choose, stay or leave!" The giant roared at them, before he himself began to open fire and began to run towards the continent.
They turned to look at what he was running from and the land seemed to be moving, no it wasn't the land, it was a massive wave of infected, accompanied by the demons of Nurgle. There was no choice to make, everyone began to run towards the strange ship and were ushered inside before the metal doors closed.
Those tact could see the outside, by one of the many windows the ship had, would see the continent opening fire at the wave of enemies, unfortunately, it wouldn't slow them down, as those that fell, were quickly replaced by those that were right behind them.

I expected a fight, hell considering the size of the ship, it would either be an overwhelming victory or me having to fight my way out, I never expected this.
Creature that were even bigger than mountains, charged at the ship, massive snakes that didn't feel like they were being burned alive, if what they were could still be called living, giant humanoids that threw everything at the ship even the infected themselves, not caring in the slightest that everything that touched the ship's shields disintegrated instantly.
"Captain, Titans and Knights are prepared to engage the enemy." The woman told me.
"Forget about that, we need to get the hell out of here." I said as a group of infected to begun to climb on top of each other, before forming a hideous abomination.
I could hear the sounds of their bones breaking and the tearing of their meat, as this was occurring.
"Unfortunately captain that is no longer a possibility."the woman answered, as the image of a smiling face completely took over the sky.
" The enemy knows... of our existence...and has made us its...new...target." She said, sounding more like the computer she once was.
"Processing...captain there is...a way of escape...however...you will...have no other choice but to fight." She said.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"The ship will have to remain stationary, while you were in stasis, the ship acquired energies from each realm. Captain, the ship might be able to jump into another world, if those energies are amplified." She said to me.
"Is there any other way?" I asked her.
"...No..." She answered.

The ships forcefields had begun to grow and expand in a way that they normally never would, they slowly dug into the planet itself, rapidly cleansing the world below and into the sky, creating the last area in the planet where clean air flows.
Within the ship ancient giants began to awake, those that tended to the lands within the ship, were nothing more than the size of children in comparison to them.
Slowly smaller and smaller mechanical warriors began to form lines all around them, the largest of them stood in the center of it all, with it, stood five more that were only slightly smaller than it.
"We protect the ship! Only because we protect the Captain!" Its voice boomed.
"We, protect the ship only because we protect the captain!" The convinced voiced of the many machines followed.
"The captain is our creator! Our master!our father!" It roared.
"The captain is our creator! Our master! Our father!" The many machines repeated.
"The captain is all! Without the captain, there would be no life! No ship! No us!" It said.
"The captain is all! Without the captain, there would be no life! No ship! No us!" They repeated
Their voices were carried deep within the halls of the ship, slowly unused rooms started coming to life, medical rooms filled all sorts of medicine or implants that could keep a person alive, when their injuries should have killed them long ago.
Ancient unused factories, came to life as the demand for replacement weapons would soon be needed.
Sealed off ammunition rooms finally opened and the people that had lived within the ship for the entirety of their lives, watched as an entire army of metal giants walked right past them.
They fell to their knees in despair as the realization began to set in, the stories of their parents had finally come true.
The Gods were going to war.
The ceilings, walls and floors began to blink into life as flying robots took the skies and began to cover the ground with many robotic spiders and robotic combat tanks.
The recently arrived refugees could only watch in amazement as the many metal titans, knights and defense bots began to walk past them.
"What's going on?" Asked a man.
"Escape is now impossible, the enemy has closed every possible escape route." The same metal giant, that had ushered them into the ship answered.
"So what now?" A woman asked.
"Now, now you live your lives." It answered, as it pointed at the shields growing around the ship itself.
"Each shield acts as a cleansing mechanism, live inside the ship or live outside of it the choice is yours." The metal giant answered her.
The people watched as the many mechanical beings began to line up around the edges of the shields, soon mechanical worms slithered into the ground and began to drag massive stones from underground into the surface.
A stone wall was quickly put up, as an area means of protection, however, as the shield grew the sound of the stones being put into place could still be heard.
Within the ship several humanoid machine men, began to walk up to every one of the descendants of the original refugees that had been brought on board the ship.
"It's time that you repay the captains kindness." They said in union.
"Consider this both your punishment and your repentance for the crime of destroying why the captain has given you." They said.
One by one the people were gathered into small groups, they would be trained in the art of combat, the ship had recorded how they had destroyed themselves and so the defense bots knew what tactics the people were good at.
However first thing was first, the people's numbers needed to increase, so the women were injected with a fertilizing agent and handed over to the males of their groups, they would soon be impregnated with multiple children, as for the males, they would be put thru hellish training.
Humans were difficult to train and not all were suited for battle, so those that were good enough for farming, healing and other duties would be put to do them, but this would only be done in a long period of time.

"Processing" the woman said.
I could feel my skin itch and it almost seemed like if I could feel my skin rise, like if doors that had always been there had suddenly opened. I looked at my right hand and turned to look at my left hand, but there was nothing there.
For some reason I could feel my hair, how can a person feel their hair, that shouldn't be possible, if a person could feel their hair, then they would never get haircuts, so what was going on.
Something was wrong with me and I could swear, that there was a giant frogman looking down at me from the sky, no not the sky, it was somewhere fairway from this place.
"Welcome to eternity Captain" I remembered the voice of the computer.
