Void Keeper Wars - Warhammer 40K
This is a crossover between Warhammer 40K and StarGate, StarWars, StarCraft. I always wanted a new race for Warhammer 40K. The new race is an amalgamation of the Galactic Empire of StarWars, Goa'uld Empire of StarGate, and the Terran and Protoss from StarCraft. I will be using the Clone Wars era for the StarWars, and post Ori-invasion for the Goa'uld, and units from both StarCraft and StarCraft 2. I don't own anything from Warhammer 40K, StarGate, StarWars, StarCraft. I am just writing it for fun.
This chapter will feature some of the weapons from the StarGate universe. Ori beam weapon, Asgard plasma beam weapon, Ancient Drone weapon, and Asgard beaming technology. Also, I decided to add some fantasy in it. The presence of a dragon is obvious, but he transforms into characters from DOTA in WarCraft III. Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Battle Aboard the Enemy's Lair
Targrith and his five Battle Barges fired their lances and the smaller dreadnoughts and cruisers continued their barrage against the alien fleet. The Necrons fired their green arc of lightning and the Eldar fired their alien weapon as well. The Chaos ships, far more numerous in their smaller ships, committed suicidal runs, sacrificing their own ships for some damage.
The yellow pyramids took heavy losses as only two remained. However, their plasma weapons constantly bombard the void shields, slowly bringing the numbers down. The two grey diamond ships fired some sort of laser weapons and ion weapons, they were weaker individually but those two ships fired a lot of volleys.
The dozen hammerhead ships fired powerful laser cannons, bringing down the smaller ships but not the big Battle Barges. It was the big main ship of the enemy that truly caused havoc. It looked like an amalgamation of the hammerhead ships and the diamond ships. The hammerhead of the main ships held three large arrays and a dozen smaller cannons.
The cannons fired weapon same as the hammerhead ships, but the three arrays fired powerful yellow beams. One of the Battle Barges got hit. Two of the beams hit and one missed, but the void shield was down to less than five percent from sixty eight percent. There were other weapons on the enemy's main ship that were deadly too. A swarm of yellow glowing things that simply penetrated the void shields and the hull of the ships, issued forth from the enemy main ship. One swarm easily destroyed two Necron ships. Another destroyed a Battle Barge and four smaller ships.
The third powerful weapons of the enemy's flagship were the blue beam weapons. The ships of Eldar and Chaos simply crumbled under the fire and exploded. The Necron ships held out a bit longer but they were crushed as well. The Space Marine Battle Barge with its shield at less than five percent was it with three blue beams, and the hull buckled instantly under pressure and its cores exploded, swallowing three smaller ships in its death. Another Battle Barge was hit with seven beams then another four, and the result was same.

Captain Targrith bit into his lips as he saw the Battle Barges carrying many Space Marines exploded. He roared at his tech priests.
"Fire! Fire all lances! Destroy them in the Emperor's name!"
"We are not doing enough damage, brother-Captain."
As his remaining two Battle Barges destroyed another hammerhead ships, the Chaos ships began a massive offensive of suicidal attacks. The pyramid ships were destroyed and thanks to Eldar's many sacrifices, one of the diamond ships was crippled. The Necrons did no better. Under the combined firepower of the Space Marines and the Necrons, most of the hammerheads were destroyed. By the time the last hammerhead ship and the diamond ships were destroyed, the Eldar fleet was almost non-existent. Three small ships and the crippled remains of the Eldar flagships remained. The flagships of the four fleets were of similar disposition. Because of their suicidal tactics, the Chaos only had their flagship left, and it was smouldering. The Necrons were also crippled, though they have faired a little better. The Space Marines were better off by far, as they still had two Battle Barges left. However, the void shield of Targrith's ship was gone and several decks were venting. Yet, the enemy's flagship was untouched.
Suddenly, four white beams issued forth and touched each of the flagships. When he saw the beam he shouted to his Space Marines.
"Brace yourselves! We die in the glorious name of the Emperor!"
The next moment, he found himself in a strange, circular dome at least 500 metres in diameter. He was surrounded by the Space Marines and who were in the bridge of the Battle Barge. The fourteen Space Marines gathered themselves around their captain. Targrith saw the Eldar, about twenty of them gathered around their Farseer, just as confused. Before Targrith could walk up to them for answers, white beam came down to the left of the Eldars and a dozen Chaos Space Marines appear with their leader. Another white beam, this time to the right of Targrith and his men, flashed and the Necron Lord and about eight Necrons appeared.
Targrith growled.
"What is this place? What is this sorcery?"
Then they all paused. A massive door on the other side of the dome slowly creaked open.
--
The leader of the alien fleet, the red haired man with red eyes walked toward them. He was wearing a flowing robe with many gold decorations and red coloured armour that reminded them of some primitive medieval warrior. The creature spoke.
"Welcome to my ship, leaders of the four races that dared to interfere with the holy and righteous, and very entertaining invasion of this galaxy. I have brought you here to give you a chance to fight me. If you win, I will withdraw. When I win, I will crush you all and enjoy this world."
The Eldar shouted at the creature.
"You will do no such thing, dragon. The Eldar will stop you."
The creature smiled.
"You can try to no avail. We are unstoppable. We are the creation of our great god Void Keeper, and we exist to rule over the lesser creatures such as you."
Kar'Varn stepped forward, sneering at the dragon in human form.
"You would fight me? You are more frail than an Imperial Guard!"
Kafraxialus smiled.
"Oh, you don't like this form? I wasn't planning to fight in this form anyway. If you don't mind, I will change my costume."
The dragon began to glow purple and it expanded. The glow grew to about six metres tall. When the light faded, instead of a human, a strange creature appeared. Its skin was red, and it had bat-like wings, and hoofs for foot, and holding large blade burning with green fire. Its eyes glowing red, it spoke in a deeper voice that put shame to the Chaos prince's voice in the fear it caused.
"Well, little creatures? This is a creature called the Doom Bringer, elites of a demonic race called the Doom Guard. Now, let's enjoy the fight!"
The Chaos warriors charged first. Kar'Varn summoned some sort of dark fire, and tried to throw it at the creature. The creature moved first. It waved its hand and the Chaos Sorcerer Prince's spell stopped. A strange fire-like aura surrounded him. Suddenly, his armour buckled and dark blood spewed forth from the cracks. He screamed.
"What is happening? I can't access the Warp! The Warp! My power!"
During that short moment, when the Chaos Space Marines were in turmoil, the Doom Bringer creature descended upon them. Its mighty burning sword ran through two Chaos Space Marines, cleanly cutting them in half. The creature grabbed one of the Chaos Space Marine's head and crushed it. Then the Necrons and the Eldar moved in. The creature waved at the Eldar Farseer and with an explosion, the Farseer was thrown across the dome floor and crashed on to the wall. Then he kicked the Necron Lord and he crumpled on to the ground. The Doom Bringer's sword crushed three Necrons while the Chaos Space Marines jumped on to the creature and fired their weapons on this back. Glowing, green blood spewed and it showered them. Then they began to melt. The incredible acidity of the blood killed another two Chaos Space Marines. Targrith knew what was at stake. He lifted his power sword and roared.
"Space Marines! Charge! In the name of the Emperor!"
The Space Marines fired bolters into the creature. The creature was driven back just before it could crush two Eldars. Doom Bringer then met the Necron Lord who put himself back together. Its massive staff cleaved its way through the Doom Bringer's flesh. The Doom Bringer grabbed the Necron Lord's head and smashed him against the ground. They could hear the crack of the living metal and they could see the green light in the Necron Lord's body fade. Then the Doom Bringer brought his sword down again and again, shattering the Necron Lord's body. The Necrons fired their weapons, tearing the Doom Bringer's body and being showered with the acid blood during that time. The Space Marines fired their bolters. A Space Marine was killed when the blade went through him.
--
Targrith felt that he has been fighting for hours. He was tired. Tired like he has never been before. It felt like every swing of his power sword was draining his strength, which was impossible as he used to swing it for hours against multitude of enemies without tiring. This time something was different.
The Chaos Space Marines were all dead except for Kar'Varn who managed to survive the deadly aura. He was still on the ground twitching. The Necrons were all but dead too. The Necron Lord was scattered beyond their power to repair himself. The Eldar were all dead, and the Farseer barely breathed. The Space Marines were also decimated. Targrith was wounded and only two Space Marines were still alive. The Doom Bringer stepped forward to finish them off. Suddenly, the Eldar Farseer jumped in front of them. She stretched forward with her hands. Streams of strange white light issued forth and grabbed the Doom Bringer. The Doom Bringer could not move. The Eldar spoke.
"I cannot hold him for long, humans. I will open a portal to the surface. Go through and survive to fight another day. Hurry!"
A white portal opened up behind Targrith. Targrith, in that brief moment, admired the dedication and honour of the Eldar Farseer. He and his Space Marines jumped into the portal. Then the portal closed. Doom Bringer roared and at that moment, he broke free and ran his blade through the Eldar.
--
The Doom Bringer turned back into the human form. Then he walked through the dome. Suddenly, Kar'Varn the Dark Prince of Boiling Blood, exploded. As the blood and flesh rained down, a new creature stood there. A head with five eyes, all burning with sickly yellow colour, and a massive mouth filled with long sharp fangs, with the arms shortened to a stump but each of the fingers and thumbs become a new claw with multiple joints. The skin was covered with tiny venomous spikes and each spike dripping black pus. What was once Kar'varn, now launched itself at the human form of the dragon. Kafraxialus waved his hand and Kar'Varn became stuck in mid air, struggling to grab the human form dragon. Kafraxialus raised his head to look at the creature.
"Well, Kar'Varn. I have a message you should deliver to your masters."
As if nothing happened, Kafraxialus walked to the middle of the dome. He glowed once more and it grew. With a flash, the human form disappeared and in its place was a gigantic and majestic creature. The head that was facing the daemon was about a metre long, and neck stretched for six metres or so and the body was massive, hidden under the vast wing, and its four legs as thick as the body of a fully armoured Space Marine. The tail, which coiled around the body, was about eight metres and it was thick. The blood red scales of the dragon glistened from the light above and as he moved, it was like blood streaming from the body. For a single moment, the champion of the Blood God was enamoured with its beauty. In that single moment, his sanity returned, only to be crushed by the unending madness of the Chaos.
The dragon looked at the champion of Chaos, hanging in mid-air, struggling to get free. The giant reptile chuckled, and the sound rang through the dome, crushing Kar'Varn's tentacles and multi-jointed limbs. The daemon spawn screamed.
"Tell your masters, that we are coming no matter what. Our crusade will not end like that of the humans here. Our lives are devoted to this crusade for last fifty thousand years, and we have been preparing for this since our creation. Our god commanded us to prepare a great war since the very beginning. Our god will come personally to deal with your gods, spawn of Chaos."
Then Kar'Varn vanished into a Warp portal.
I hope it was fun. Anything to fix, then post a comment, thanks.
