Minihammer 40k Chapter 2

well, PoV madness starts here. I just want to say that I encourage people who want to write their own mini/tiny/toy-hammer stories. Each version's changes brings its own freshness. Mostly after the original toyhammer went into the dreaming stuff. Why rougepsyker, why! You were doing it so well before!

To my dear Reviewers:

DoctorEleven: Thank you! and yeah, i've read it. it's great!

THE RFA: Fine geez

Aleron's sword: That was then, this is now.

Ahem, let's get this show on the road.I don't own Warhammer 40k. Which sucks, cuz then i'd get miniatures at a reduced price.


Captain Fayhr Grunswy

It had seen me.

The Imperator-man, as I've resigned myself to call it, had seen me. Judging from its roar, it wasn't happy either. I had to weigh my options carefully.

The first of my options would be to fight. My jump pack would give me good mobility, and the Imperator-man would have a tough time hitting me. Then again, he even swats me and I can no longer fight.

Another of my options would be to escape. Find a window, break through and meet the general and my battle brothers outside. Then we could, at the very least, offer up a powerful resistance. Attack from a position of strength. But the Imperator-man was faster and more mobile than I was. He would catch up and destroy me.

My final option remains my best. He is no xeno, and judging from the scale of things, it is I who is small and not him who is large. The reason the Imperium stands, after all, is because we stand together. Mankind will prevail, and he is of mankind. I trust in the emperor.

"Calm yourself, Imperator-man,. I surrender." I Said as loudly as I could, amplifying my helmet's vox to the highest level.

It had worked surprisingly well, to my satisfaction. He had not moved since his original outburst, but when I admitted my surrender he advanced, rather cautiously, to his credit, closer to me and crouched down in front of me.

"And what exactly" He said, thankfully without screaming this time "Are you supposed to be?"

"That answer will have to come later, Imperator-man." I answered him, before using my jump pack to get up on his shoulder. He was visibly surprised, but didn't shake me off. "For now, may I ask that you walk a circle around this home? I have some allies who could use you as a landmark."

"Erm, fine? I guess?" he said, visibly confused by now, and stood up. I had almost lost my balance and fell, but managed to hang on by impaling his shirt's collar with my right hand's lightning claws. "How do I recognize your friends?"

"Oh, they're a small army" I answered him. Then, the irony suddenly hit me with the subtlety of an ork nob. "Quite literally, in our case. Besides, they should contact me when they see you."

Still,when we went outside, I was rather surprised. The Imperator-man was surprisingly young, yet owned a house akin to the size of a mansion. Also, he lived right next to a forest! Questions began to stir, but I had no time to ask them now.

It was finally when the Imperator-man turned a corner that my vox crackled, and the general spoke to me. "Captain! There is a giant... well, titanic... man here!"

"Do not be afraid, general. The Imperator-man is not big, it is simply us who are small." I answered, with a small passing chuckle. "Besides, we have already surrendered to him."

"Surrendered? Captain, I will trust you for now, but you will have to explain this quite clearly." the general sternly finished, and the vox went silent.

"So, these guys your friends?"

"Well, probably..." I said, then I looked down. And I was right. Just not in the way I had expected. Yet, it was impossible, their chapter died out, the geneseed forever lost... how could they be here? "Can you set me down, Imperator-man?"

Used to his new nickname, and the fact he was going to be confused for quite a while, he raised his hand, which I quickly boarded, and set me down near my 'friends'. And I couldn't believe it. Rather, because it was impossible.

The Black Memoirs. 4th company, the one I worked with the most often, here! As Imperator-man set me down, their attention changed from him to me, and I saw what I expected... well, the least, at the moment.

"Fayhr! Old dog, what is happening here?" Their leader stepped forth, motioning his brothers to lower their bolters. "Why is everything so big? Rather, why are we so small? And how did we get h-uuurgghh!"

I could not bear it. After seeing my old friend, after so long a time, I had bear hugged him. A bad habit, or so they said, from when I served in conjunction with space wolves for a decade. Leaving him back on his feet to collect his stomach, I made my concerns clear.

"Eulrak! They told me you were dead! You and your force, shot down while in your strike cruiser, before you could make planetfall! Why did they lie?" I, if a little loudly, asked.

"I think that was no lie. Rather, they didn't know the whole truth." I eyed him oddly, and he understood the sign: explain more. "Our geller field had destabilized while in the warp. Just as we exited it, and the hole still open, it dragged us in. One moment I was wrestling a khornate demon, next moment I was here, and you were telling me over the vox that we had surrendered to the big one. As always, your train of thought eludes all but the most dim-witted, but I trusted you well enough."

"Well, I wasn't trying to tell you, specifically, but rather a guard regiment, the 664th Cadian, that we were working with when... this happened." I said, completely ignoring his joke. "After they get here, we all go inside, explain things to each other, mostly to you Imperator-man." for the last part, I had amplified my voice via the vox again.

"Much appreciated." he answered, then visibly started. "Oh, here come the other guys! Wow, that's a big cannon..."

"Ah, the basilisk. Truly an amazing machine, both in its ability to destroy armies and woo the hearts of men" Eulrak loudly said, copying my trick with the vox. If the Imperator-man made any notice of this, he didn't show it.

It was right there that the sky decided it should start raining. Raindrops of massive proportions started falling down, giving even my men somewhat of a shock when it fell on them. Guardsmen by the dozens were completely drenched after a drop, throw on the ground by two and knocked out by three. All guardsmen not in a chimera made double time to reach them, despite the cries of woe of those already packed inside. As funny as it was, I did have somewhat of a sense of urgency though, and expressed it quite clearly.

"Remember when I said we would go inside? Let's." and, to my complete and utter lack of surprise, the Imperator-man nodded.


Canoness Alhmeda

"What? Rain as well?"

I was not pleased. Our forces were one moment slaughtering the enemies of the Emperor, in His glorious name, when suddenly we had ended up here! In a forest where everything dwarfs us in comparison.

"Sisters! Don your helmets, and shrug off this giant rain! The Emperor will not have us halt here!" I shouted, and in immediate response came the setting of two hundred helmets. And we marched on.

Then the scenery changed. As we marched through a rather large foliage, we came upon a row of houses. Emperor bless me, these house were gigantic! Perhaps I had been wrong! Perhaps instead of everything getting bigger, we had been diminished? Maybe the Emperor, in His holy name, was giving us a trial?

"Sisters, advance toward the nearest house! We shall find refuge from the rain in there!" my musings aside, I still had to act as our commander. If the Emperor really was giving us a trial, then realizing the fact was less important than completing His divine will.

Marching across the over-sized field of grass, it was then I realized what I believed earlier to be true. We were small. Everything else was big. For now, getting in cover was an even bigger issue that before. I had lived in the deep countryside before, and even though this wasn't the same, I still expected some people around here to have...

Woof!

Pets.

"Sisters! Run to the house! May the emperor himself guide our every step!" And protect us from this beast, if I was really lucky. But judging from the rest of this Emperor forsaken day, I was not lucky at all.

So we ran, as fast as the Emperor allowed, and me and my sisters, donned with power-armor, quickly jumped up the steps and we ran to a large window, oddly at ground level. The same could not be said about our armored support, however. As I looked back, I noticed the dog had a rhino in its mouth, and was violently shaking it around.

"Melta infantry! Grant us passage through this window! That we may find refuge from this beast!" I loudly ordered, and was happy to see my sisters comply with due haste. After a quick shout of 'for the Emperor!' the glass was riddled with molten openings, and we wasted no time getting inside it's relative shelter.

Motioning my sisters for silence, I increased the sensitivity of my helmets receivers high enough to hear someone in the distance.

"But mom, you haven't even been gone for two days. If you keep calling like this, you'll never get work done."

One female adolescent, speaking on a device to her mother. Excellent. If we do this right, we can shelter ourselves from the rain and dog, and leave once everything is cleared up, without her ever knowing we were he-

"SISTER! OUR REMAINING TANKS FOUND A WAY INTO THIS HOUSE!" Screamed a sister at the top of her lungs, riding in on one of those said tanks. It did not help that my helmet's receiver sensitivity was maxed out at the time, either. My ears felt like they were splitting by the time I had set sensitivity back to normal.

"Mom, I'll call you back, ok?... Oh, don't be such a worrywart. Bye." said the adolescent, apparently oblivious to our antics. I heard the sound of her footsteps, and I tried to to shepherd my sisters back to a hiding position.

"What do you mean, hide? We already ran from the giant xeno, now you expect us to show fear in the face of the enemy?" Asked one of the sisters, oblivious to the fact that a being fifty times her size could kill her by accident, without even noticing.

"It is not fear we show, but prudence! By showing prudence, we can live longer to serve in the Emperor's holy name." I expected her to make a rebuttal, something about cowardice, but she was just staring behind me. "Besides, what are you looking at?" I said, turning around.

"Canoness, how pleasant to see that I have been completely forgotten." said inquisitor Teliun, who had been standing behind me. "But don't worry, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to make sure you don't forget again."

That traitor... Heretic! Words left me, and I was left only with the deepest desire to punch him in the gut. Emperor damn me, I was pretty surprised my sisters had not already beaten me to it. It was only then, of course, that I'd noticed the large Eldar force directly behind the Ordo Xenos inquisitor, and I restrained myself.

"Have you calmed down now, Dear Alhmeda?" Damned Heretic! My name was sullied with on his lips! "You don't have to fear the young lady of the house, she has already... consented to be our lodger during these... confusing times. I'm sure that there is a place she can accommodate you... ah! Maybe in the garage? Yes, the orks would find your company most refreshing."

"Pompous fool! You dare ally yourselves with the enemies of the Emperor! I will see you reduced to a mindless servitor!" I loudly yelled, no longer able to contain my righteous fury "You and your xeno allies will all falter under the holy fires of my sisters' flamers! Sisters! To me!"

My sister joined me, making a clear firing line in to eldar ranks. Now, with both armies at a face off, all that was left for me to order them in, and the enemies of the emperor would taste holy retribution! Activating my chainsword, I was about to give the order and-

"Hey! What did I say about fighting?" said the teenager, emerging from the doorway across the giant windows. Which, once I thought of it again, were not windows. They were doors, sized for the gargantuan adolescent who had just entered the room. On her shoulder, I noticed, was an eldar farseer. "If Calenna hadn't told me, imagine the mess you would've made! And... who are the new girls?. Teliun, explain! What's going on!" she paused a moment "Again!"

"Oh yes, Teliun. Explain yourself, heretic." I added, just to add a perfect little push to his anger. This may not be such a bad day after all, seeing his face like that.


WHATTTT? more than one guy gets an army? (oh wait, that's in the description) The people have a different age? (the dude living alone and the give being a juvie, which'll involve school shenanigans) and a SISTER OF BATTLE who has the restraint to know when to run and/or hide? (not sexist, just that SoBs and some Space marines and too stupid to use cover, or conventional tactics.)

Well, let me know what you think. Read and Review, no heresy please.
