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 mostly 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.
Thanks for reading! Just leave a comment or two so I can write more knowing that you all support me!

R'N'Rer: Always a pleasure to hear from you! I will wait a few more chapters before I select a winner, but because you are the only one who answered the quizz yet, so even if you are a bit off you will get to have your own character in my story!
warhammerlover: Thank you for reading, and I hope I won't disappoint you!
awilla the hun: Always good to know that you are so well versed in Warhammer. Just remember that this is crossover/alternate universe/fanfiction.
Chapter 29: Reach the Beacon!
Limping, the dragon slowly slouched toward the great beacon hidden under a mighty cloaking field. Standing at least fifteen metres tall, the mighty beacon was shining and pulsating light. The dragon blood, revered as the potion of longevity and youth, a priceless commodity, flew freely on to the ground. The large gashes on the body along with the various squashed body parts of the Eldar and Space Marines showed the scale of the battle. There were a couple of dozens of Howling Banshee blades that were sticking out of him. Every time the dragon shuddered and shook himself off, the blades fell and the wounds began to seal.
Suddenly, a missile impacted the dragon on the wing, and the explosion broke his right wing. The mighty wing broke off from the body and fell on the ground. Kafraxialus screamed and turned around to see the surviving Space Marines and Eldars. Lord Carnegie, bleeding from his forehead, was still standing strong, wieding his power sword. The Eldar Farseer had lost her left arm, but he was still holding her sword in her right hand. Shuddering with rage, the dragon opened his mouth and a ball of fire formed.
The great jet of flame launched toward the Space Marines and Eldar, but the Farseer squeezed every bit of strength and formed a great forcefield that blocked the flame. After a minute or so, the flame stopped and the Farseer fell on the ground, exhausted. As a Guardian helped her up, the Space Marines and the rest of the Eldar survivors fired. This desperate attack did slow down the wounded dragon. Bolters and various Eldar ammo impacted upon the dragon, crackling against the metal scales that were now broken in places and cracked all over. The dragon stared down at the survivors as more and more Space Marines and Eldar joined the survivors. A bright red flash of light appeared in his eyes, and two great explosions killed several amid the crowd.
As the few remaining Eldar and the Space Marine began to lose heart, the help arrived. At least thirty Land Speeders, carrying the Iron Fists, swooped down and fired their assault cannons at the dragon. Thick blood exploded on the dragon's body, drenching the Eldar and Space Marine alike. Three Thunderhawks landed behind the White Hammer survivors and several squads of Iron Fists and Taurens came out. The renewed Space Marine forces began to fire at the dragon, who quickly turned and walked into the cloak field of the artifact.
Carnegie picked himself up and looked around for his White Hammers. He saw about thirty who were still with him, and the Iron Fists and Taurens helping the wounded to the Thunderhawks. Gritting his teeth at the dragon, he stood up, and much to his surprise, he felt stronger than ever. It was as if his body was renewed, and the three centuries of war did not even happen. His body was as light as feather but as strong as daemon. Even his psychic power felt greater. He did not understand what had happened until he saw the Eldar Farseer.
The Eldar wounded scooped up the blood of the dragon and applied it to their wound and some even drank it. The Eldar Farseer, with her left arm torn off, drank the dragon's blood and poured it on her wound. Then like a miracle, Lord Carnegie could see the new flesh growing out from the stump of the Eldar's forearm. New fresh bones began to grow and the flesh and skin grew. Carnegie soon noticed that such miraculous healing was partly the psychic power as well, but it was obvious that the dragon's blood had great healing properties. He saw a White Hammer's apothecary, whose right shoulder armour was gone but he still had his arm.
"Apothecary!"
"Yes, my lord."
"Look at the Eldar. They are using the dragon's blood as a healing agent. Take samples, brother. Take it to the Apothecarium and study it, and meanwhile experiment it on your wound so that should it work as a healing agent as I see it, we may be able to save many of our brothers today."
"Yes, my lord. I will do as you instruct."
Of course, the Apothecaries of other Chapters did noticed the healing property of the dragon's blood, and took sampled from the dozens of pools of blood all over the battlefield. The White Hammer's Apothecary applied some of the blood on his own wound and it healing rapidly.
"My lord Chapter Master, as you have spoken, this dragon's blood contains great healing properties. However, I fear that the Inquisition may not see this favourably."
"We have no choice brother. If it works we may be able to use it to save our Chapter rather than let it die. Besides, it would be very unlikely that we will be called a traitor in this 'special' situation."
"Yes, my lord. I will heal our brothers."
"Go, and gather me those we are still capable of fighting to me. I have decided to follow the dragon into the artifact."
The Eldar Farseer approached Carnegie along with six Guardians, two Dark Reapers and a Warp Spider. The three White Hammer battle brothers raised their bolters, and Carnegie raised his hand to calm them. The Farseer bowed her head and Carnegie replied. She spoke.
"We are going to follow the dragon into the beacon itself, now that he has opened the shield, we may follow him in."
Carnegie narrowed his eyes.
"What will you achieve by that, Farseer? An army of the Imperial Guards, Space Marines and your Eldars could not stop him."
"We wounded him, human. He is forced to take a smaller form to enter the beacon, and that gives us chance to fight him. He will still be extremely strong, but it is possible to kill him when he is in such form."
"I and my brothers will enter also. We have lost many brothers and numerous servants of the Emperor have perished this day. I will not return without some satisfaction."
"How honourable, human. Let us go before he reaches whatever he is planning to reach."

The Eldar and the Space Marines walked into the cloak field, which the Eldar had so far been unable to breach, and they saw a mighty pillar rising about fifteen meters into the air, and a large red circular crystal about a meter in radius in the middle. In fact, the whole thing was buried in a large crater, where the red crystal, which was obviously the middle, was rising about three meters above the lowest part of the crater.
They saw a field of rocks and low grass growing among them, making the whole field green. They also saw, in the distance, a humanoid form walking toward the artifact. The Farseer hissed.
"That is him. That is the dragon."
Carnegie nodded and looked at the Space Marine behind him.
"Kill him."
The Space Marine nodded and raised his bolter and aimed. After a moment, he fired three shots. The dragon in humanoid form fell. Farseer let out a sigh of relief. Carnegie smiled smugly.
"That's that then."
The Eldar shook her head and gripped her weapon. She turned her face toward Carnegie.
"It has just begun, human. A dragon cannot so easily be killed."
"I saw him hit by the two of the bolter shots. He did not even have armour on. His body would have been torn to bits…"
Before he could finish, he saw a figure rising. The dragon stood up, and turned around. The Farseer hissed again. She quickly turned to Carnegie.
"Get your men to hold hands."
"What?"
"I will teleport us between the dragon and the beacon so that we may stop him."
Carnegie nodded, and the Space Marines, sheepishly grabbed each other by hand. The Eldar wariors did the same and they formed a long line. The Farseer, holding the hand of an Eldar, grabbed Carnegie's hand. Lord Carnegie felt some disorientiation, and suddenly found himself between the dragon and the great pillar. Quickly assessing the situation, he realised that the dragon will try to get past them. He roared at his Space Marines.
"Prepare for battle. That is the dragon that killed our brothers. We shall end it in the name of the Emperor."
The Farseer also did some short speech to her warriors.
"In the name of Khaine, we shall defeat this dragon!"

The dragon saw the Space Marines and the Eldar teleport and was furious at their futile attempt to stop him. He raised his hand, and a sword was summoned in his hand. An Assault Space Marine charged at him with a chain sword in his hand. The Space Marine swung his sword from back to front, and the dragon blocked it easily and like lightning, swung down sideways and cut off the Assault Marine's leg then thrusted his sword into the falling Marine's helmet. With a single crunch, the blade went through the helmet, killing the Marine instantly.
Just then, a Banshee sliced the air with her sword which the dragon evaded but a couple of hairs were cut. With a grim face, the dragon cut sideways, and the Banshee jumped as the sword cut the air right under the Eldar. Suddenly, the dragon reach forth with his left hand at the Eldar, and a bolt of lightning issued forth and struck the Eldar. Through aside the dead Eldar, the dragon faced two Space Marines firing their bolters and swinging their chain swords. Suddenly, a Warp Spider appeared right above the dragon, slicing down with her sword. The dragon blocked the Warp Spider, and punched a Space Marine with his left hand. The fist punched through the thick armour and the dragon grabbed the Marine's heart. Spinning around, the dragon's sword sliced off the Marine's head as the spin ripped out the heart. The other Space Marine roared as charged, and the Warp Spider came at him again.
The Space Marine swund down, but the dragon parried it, knocking the blade to the side and grabbing the arm by his left hand, then the dragon thrusted his sword into the Space Marine. Once, twice and thrice, and the light faded from the Space Marine's eyes, without a moment's pause, the dragon spun around, slicing at the Warp Spider that appeared behind him, but cut only the air as the Warp Spider jumped again. The Warp Spider appeared again above the dragon and fired her guns, but the dragon was fast. Quickly taking a step to the side, he disappeared with a small flash of light.
The Warp Spider instinctively teleported just as the dragon sword cut the air where she had just been. As the Warp Spider came back into material realm, she did not see the dragon, but felt the dragon's sword slicing into her from behind and out the front. The dragon smiled as he ended the Eldar's life, as two Guardians and the Farseer jumped at him, followed by three Space Marines and the Chapter Master Carnegie.
The dragon and the three Eldar fought furiously as their swords clashed in the air. The Guardians fell first. The dragon opened his left palm and pointed it at one of the Guardians as he blocked the Farseer's sword. As he closed his hand, the Guardian chocked and then she was crushed by some enormous pressure. The dead Guardian was through at high velocity at the Space Marines, one of them was knocked back because of the corpse. Then the dragon shouldered the Farseer, knocking her aside and charging at the other Guardian. The Guardian slashed at the dragon, but the dragon blinked behind her and sliced her in half.
As the top half of the Eldar Guardian fell on the ground, the dragon saw a Space Marine pointing a bolter at his face. The bolter shot grazed the dragon's face. Hissing, the dragon slashed at the Space Marine, who attempted dodge but his bolter got cut in half. The Space Marine slashed at the dragon, evaded it by taking a step back. Then he jumped in the air and flipped backward. Just as he did so, another Space Marine, a sergeant no less, swung his sword at the dragon. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the dragon slashed at the sergeant who attacked him. The dragon's sword easily sliced its way to half the sergeant's body. The sergeant's right arm felt on the ground but the sergeant, with steely determination, grabbed the sword's blade.
As the dragon tugged at his sword, another Space Marine and Carnegie jumped at him. Growling, the dragon abandoned his sword and grabbed the power sword of the dead Space Marine sergeant. The strength of the Space Marines were not to be underestimated and without his superior weapons, the dragon, injured by the combined power of the Space Marines and the Eldar, only barely matched the combined power of the Space Marine and the Chapter Master.
The mastery of the sword was superior in the dragon, and though it took about five minutes, the dragon bested the Space Marine. Knocking down the Chapter Master with a kick, the dragon punched the Space Marine in the stomach, and grabbed the spine, and pulled. With a sickening crunch, the spine and the head tore out from the body. Then as he turned his attention back to Lord Carnegie, the Farseer came to. The dragon blocked the attack but was forced to take several steps back. The Farseer hissed at the dragon.
"I will stop you no matter what!"
The dragon sneered as he gathered his strength and pushed back the Eldar sword.
"I do not think so, Eldar."
I hope it was fun. Anything to fix, then post a comment, thanks.
