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.

Sorry for the skip the other day. I really ran out of reserves and I am looking for a new job, so I didn't have that much time to write more. Enjoy!

Chapter 20: Another World

It was a dark day on Keshaal III's archipelagos. Once held by the Imperial Guards, these islands were now under assault by the Dracoranians. Led by warrior-like red dragon Rateramarasis the Crimson Warrior, the military forces of the Terran Dominion began to march against the locals with relentless attacks. Everyday, at least five Battlecruisers and hundreds of transports arrived above the planet and reinforced the Dominion forces on Keshaal III. They had already built a fortress-palace for Rateramarasis on the main continent, upon the ruins of the ancient tech-capital of Kshaal III, and the flood of Terran Marines, Firebats, Vultures, Goliaths, Seige Tanks and myriads of other Terran Dominion forces gathered there to launch all-out attacks against the Imperium on the planet.

Outpost C331 was a modest military outpost with low walls garrisoned by a hundred Imperial Guardsmen who patrolled the nearby area for the Eldar incursion. Until a week ago, the surrounding areas were empty but for the grass and trees. Now, it was a field hospital with nearly two thousand wounded and three hundred or so still able to fight. All of the higher ranking officers had been killed or too seriously wounded to give orders, so the Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, who was the commanding officer of the C331, became in charge.

"Sergeant, get those supplies to the medics!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Lieutenant Bosk, where is the reinforcement I asked for?"

"They will be arriving within an hour, sir."

"Where are the enemies?"

"Uhhh… they will be here in less than an hour."

"Aarrrgh, why can't you give me solid numbers, Bosk. We will just have to hope that the reinforcements arrive before the enemies do."

--

The ground around C331 began to fill with more wounded and there were even some Space Marines whose limbs were cut off. Not even the Apothecaries of the Space Marines were spared from battle, and they were badly injured as well. To Colonel Marcus, this was a bad sign. Of course, all members of the Space Marines were battle-ready, but the Apothecaries were usually spared from direct battle unless there was a serious need, since their duties were slightly different than that of battle-brothers, but to have the Apothecaries fully committed to battle had meant a serious and desperate battle took place.

Bosk came running shouting something. Cringing, Marcus began to put on his heavy gears, when he saw Bosk running. Bosk huffed as he arrived at the barracks. Marcus sighed as he asked.

"What is it, Lieutenant?"

"Enemies, sir! They are here!"

Marcus gritted his teeth together.

"What's the ETA of the reinforcements?"

"Still another twenty minutes, sir!"

"Damn it, we will have to hold them off here until reinforcements arrive. Get the wounded to the back of the outpost, and have anyone who can wield a gun to hold a gun. Do we have enough weapons?"

"We do, colonel. We have collected all the weapons and ammunitions from the wounded. We have enough go around twice."

"How many Space Marines capable of fighting?"

"Four, sir, but even they are seriously wounded."

"Just get them on the wall, and put missile launchers and snipers in their hands."

"Yes, sir. Anything else, sir?"

"Oh, get me a bolter. I always wanted to have one of those. I might use it before I die."

"Yes, sir."

--

As Colonel Marcus fondled his bolter, taken from a recently dead Space Marine, he could see the dust cloud caused by the enemies from afar. Terran Marines could be seen with several Firebats among them, and a dozen or so Vultures moving from side to side, with Goliaths behind them and several Siege Tanks bringing up the rear. Marcus shouted to rally his men.

"We just have to hold them for fifteen minutes, men! Get ready to fight! This is our moment!"

Against nearly a thousand Terran Marines, and fifty Firebats and other numerous military hardware of the Dominion, the five hundred or so ragtag Imperial Guard forces stood their grounds.

Marcus fired his bolter at the Firebat who was burning three Imperial Guardsmen with his flamethrowers. The heavy bolter ammo knocked the Firebat a few steps, and made holes in his armour. Then the flame went into the fuel tank, and the Firebat exploded. Two Marines came up behind and fired their Gauss rifles. Marcus quickly hid behind the wall, and the depleted uranium shells shredded the concrete wall. When the bullets stopped, Marcus jumped out from behind the wall and emptied the bolter into the two Marines, shredding them with much larger bullets.

A Goliath walked up to a turret and fired its miniguns at it, tearing into the tough metallic hull of the automatic turret of the Imperium. Then several Imperial Guardsmen came up behind the turret and fired their lasguns at the Goliath. They scorched the Goliaths, but to no avail, as the Goliath turned its guns on the Imperial Guardsmen. They were minced into pulp of blood and meat, and suddenly the Goliath was knocked back with an explosion.

A Space Marine Predator came up from behind the fortification, and fired another round, destroying the Goliath. Two Rhinos came up to the fortification and unloaded two squads of Space Marines. Three Gorgons followed the Rhinos and deposited the Imperial Guardsmen. From the side, six Leman Russ tanks came firing their main cannons and the heavy bolters. Siege Tanks returned fire, but they were quickly subdued as the Basilisks rained down powerful artillery shells upon them. Then a dozen Space Marine Land Speeders swooped down upon the Dominion forces and rained down heavy bolter fire upon the Marines and Goliaths. The Goliaths fired their missiles and hit a few, but the rest of the Land Speeder continued their assault, tearing apart the Dominion forces.

--

Despite the small successes, the forces of the Imperium began to lose more and more ground. The three companies of the Red Templars guarding the planet struggled to maintain control, but it was large planet with important strongholds spread over vast areas, stretching the Red Templars thin despite the support of the Imperial Guards. When the fifth company launched an all-out assault against the Dracoranian main force with almost half of the Imperial Guards supporting them, they faced the dragon.

The dragon slaughtered them. The powerful sword wielded by the red dragon simply cut through the ranks of Imperial Guardsmen and Space Marines alike, easily tearing through the thick powerful armours of the Space Marines like stone through wet paper bag. The powerful magic of the dragon did not do less damage. Great balls of lightning and fire bombarded the tanks, and gravity of several hundred times greater crushed them, and extreme psychic shocks destroyed their minds. With half of the Imperial Guards destroyed and a whole company annihilated, the forces of the Imperium began retreat to the islands.

Above Keshaal III, the Dominion fleet under Dracoranian command settled itself into the orbit of the planet once it cleared the remaining Eldar and Dark Eldar fleet and the few Imperium ships. It was not only the fleet that made its presence known. Hundreds of SCVs floated about constructing a massive space station in the orbit. The sheer number of the SCVs allowed the construction efficient and fast.

The Command Centres, Barracks, Factories and Starports that came through the black portal descended through the atmosphere and landed on Keshaal III surface, quickly building the Dominion bases, allowing the productions of the reinforcements. One of the Command Centres was the core of the space station and the SCVs were building the station around it. They were also attaching six Starports to the frame as well as a Barracks and a Factory. It was supposed to be a self-sufficient starbase capable of producing and repairing starships and capable of producing troops to defend itself from boarding parties and to resupply the docking starships.

Giant Terran Battlecruisers cruised through the vacuum above Keshaal III and they fanned out from station under construction. Suddenly, a new black portal opened up above the station. The portal was much large than the first one. From the portal came out six Victory class Star Destroyers headed by an Imperial class Star Destroyer. Behind them came out four Interdictor class Star Destroyers with twenty Acclamator class Assault ships. As these ships came out, the portal extended itself and spewed out three Super Star Destroyers, followed by another twenty Acclamators and twenty Venator class Star Destroyers. Finally, a blue coloured Lair Ship carrying a dragon who commanded all the Imperial ships that just came out.

Another black portal appeared a thousand kilometres from the Star Destroyers. A Super Star Destroyer, a dozen Venator classes and sixty Terran Battlecruisers came out of the portal. Then a dark green Lair Ship, escorted by twenty four Victory class Star Destroyers came out. The second fleet began to move toward the northern pole of the planet while the first fleet stayed around the frames of the station.

Inside the blue Lair Ship, the dragon's chamber was well lit and well decorated with various gemstones and marble carvings. A beautiful woman with long blue hair stretching down on the floor like a pool of clean blue water, sat on a comfortable cushioned throne, wearing nothing but a bright golden bikini. She lifted her lithe finger. Two figures, each sitting on their own thrones, appeared. At first, the images of the figures wavered as if they were holograms, which they were. The woman raised her beautiful face and looked at them.

The hologram to the left showed a warrior clad in silver and gold decorated armour, with flowing red cloak attached to the shoulder pieces. His short red hair clearly showed his masculine, but handsome face covered in myriads of small scars. To the right was a green haired elf-child, with long ears and bright green eyes. He looked no more than ten years old if he was a human child. He was sitting in a throne decorated with a lot of trees made of gold.

The woman spoke first. Her voice was strong but so seductive.

"Report, Rateramarasis. How is your invasion of this planet going? Found anything?"

The red haired warrior bowed deeply.

"My lady, Esurenais, I have yet to conquer the planet, but it will be done soon. My barracks are even now producing more troops to aid the search."

"Why have you not pushed aside the locals yet?"

"I did not believe that 'it' is within their territory. I just thought that obtaining 'it' was the priority, my lady."

"That is why you are foolish! Remember that you are playing the 'Game', Rateramarasis! 'It' is but a tool for the 'Game' not the objective of the 'Game' itself!"

Rateramarasis bit his lips.

"My apologies, my lady. I will command my forces for a direct assault upon the enemy positions."

The green haired child nodded.

"You really should, Rateramarasis. Lady Esurenais will thrash you if you don't. She is ever so violent for a blue."

Esurenais raised one eyebrow and sat up straight.

"That is such a lie, Lord Omoresis. You know it. You liked it kinky, and I was ever so innocent."

Omoresis scoffed.

"Innocent? You are no more innocent than a horny troll! You and your famous whips are well known even among the mortals of my world."

"It does not!"

Rateramarasis intervened.

"My lord, my lady, perhaps we should focus on our missions?"

Omoresis smiled, and Esurenais frowned slightly. Omoresis nodded and spoke.

"Yes, we should. I am supposed to go… the planet the Imperium designated… K422D1, and two moons? What kind of name is that? These humans so lack imaginations."

Esurenais agreed.

"I am going to the system called Enores system. Three planets and a moon colonised. Controlled by… Imperium and the Tau? What kind of stupid name is 'Tau'? Some crappy race of inferior race. May be I will subjugate them."

Omoresis laughed.

"May be you should, Esurenais. God knows that you need more worshippers of your 'beauty'."

Esurenais growled.

"I am beautiful, Omoresis. The humans and elves definitely should worship my beauty. Now, shall we get on with our work?"

Omoresis nodded.

"Yes. Let's get going. I got a planet and two moons to conquer."

I hope it was fun. Anything to fix, then post a comment, thanks.
