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.
Sorry for being absent for so long. My exams are over but I haven't go much stocked up. I will return soon.

Chapter 48: Descent
Five escape pods descended from the sky and landed. From the four of the pods came out a single squad of Imperial Guardsmen, and from the last one came out ten Heavy Weapons team crew carrying five heavy bolters. As soon as they jumped out from the pods, they began setting up the heavy weapons on the edges of the high ground. The sergeant of one of the Imperial Guard squads came up to the Terminator left to take charge of the defence.
"Sir, the Imperial Guards will defend this ground as long as needed."
The Terminator acknowledges him.
"Very good, soldier of Imperium. It is good to have your support."
The sergeant swelled with pride. He saluted the Terminator.
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir! We will do better than our best, sir!"

Evial, Barius and Jonas led two Assault Terminators, four Terminators with one of them armed with assault cannon, and four battlebrothers, through the entrance. They all prepared themselves as they walked through the corridor, raising their bolters and readying their melee weapons. As they moved through, they saw the corpses of Choas marines and some Space Marines. The White Hammers growled and cursed the Chaos as they saw their fallen brothers.
Evial spat on the ground, cursing, and turned his head toward Barius and Jonas.
"Many Gorgons died here. Too many just for an artefact."
Jonas smiled weakly.
"We still can't let the Chaos get their hands on whatever that artefact is."
Barius nodded.
"Agreed. We must obtain it."
Evial sighed.
"Well, we better kill some traitors here, just for my satisfaction."
Jonas agreed.
"I would like to join you on that."
Barius laughed lightly.
"You just be careful, general. You cannot take on a Chaos Marine. They are too much for you."
Jonas nodded.
"That is true, my lord, but I am certain I can help."
"Yes."
They did not speak for a while as they moved through the corridor lined with corpses. Hundreds of Cultists and Chaos Marine corpses were strawn across the stone floors. The Terminators and the Space Marines simply walk above them, crushing the skulls and bones alike. They walked for about fifteen minutes when they heard sounds of battle. Evial turned and looked at others.
"Brothers, to me!"
They all ran toward the sound. They ran down some stairs, then up again. Eventually, they arrived at a large circular chamber at least 250 meters in radius. There were at least a dozen beings fighting each other. One Assault Terminator wielding a power hammer, a standard Terminator, three Space Marines of Crimson Gorgons, and a force commander who was obviously the Captain of the 7th Company. On the other side were the forces of Chaos. The Chaos Lord was fighting the Captain, while a Khorne Berserker was going toe to toe with the Assault Terminator. Five Chaos Marines were fighting three Space Marines.
The Space Marines had obviously depleted their ammo, both in the bolter and their bolt pistols, so they were using their melee weapons for combat. Both the Space Marines and the Chaos Marines were all veterans of centuries, and none of them were giving an inch of advantage to their enemies. Chain blades flew in the air as the eight marines fought each other in deadly dance of war. Just as Jonas and others entered the chamber, one of the Space Marines swung his chain sword down, and the Chaos Marine in its path could not step out of the way. The powerful chainsaw of the weapon ate its way into the Chaos Marine's armour and tore out the flesh. The Chaos Marine screamed in rage and pain, but at that moment, another Space Marine thrust his chain blade into the Chaos Marine's chest.
Khorne Berserker swung his axe at the Assault Terminator. The Terminator blocked it with his hammer then threw a punch with the left fist, with the shield still on his forearm. The Berserker took a step back and dodged the punch. Then the Berserker retaliated by kicking the Terminator. The Terminator was no veteran. He was elite. He smacked down the kick with his elbow and and thrusted his hammer at the Berserker's face. The Berserker leaned back and the hammer nearly cracked his helmet. Without even flinching, the Berserker swung his axe at the Terminator's chest. The Terminator blocked it with his shield and then smashed at the Berserker with his hammer. The hammer missed the target as the Berserker quickly bent down. The power hammer broke apart the shoulder ornament.
The fiercest battle was between the Brother Captain of the 7th Company and the Chaos Lord. They both wielded power swords by two hands and were hacking at each other with such ferocity that when their sword met each other in the air, the impact shook the room. The two master swordmen fought each other and sought only the death of the opponent. The Captain smashed down with his sword and the Chaos Lord blocked it, the rebound returning the Captain's sword to the position it was in just before he struck, and the Space Marine Captain did not waste a moment. He quickly turned his sword and blocked the incoming attack from the right, which the Chaos Lord initiated as soon as the downward attack by the Captain was blocked. The side swipe was blocked and the Captain thrusted his sword from that position, trusting the power of the disruptive field around the power sword to slay the enemy. His enemy was no fool. The Chaos Lord spun backward to his right, repositioning himself to the 10 o'clock of the Brother Captain, swinging down his Chaos corrupted power sword.
It was an easy block but for the strength of the Chaos Lord. The Chaos Lord's strength forced the Captain back, making him buckle under the pressure. Not to give his enemy any advantage, however momentary, the Captain took a step back, taking himself out of the pressure zone of the Chaos Lord's attack. Then he summoned a great strength from his muscles to make a powerful but succinct swing at the Chaos Lord's head. The Chaos Lord had momentarily lost his footing as the Space Marine took a step back, but as soon as he felt the next attack coming on, he blocked it. This time, the advantage was on the Space Marine's veteran of many centuries. The impact pushed the Chaos Lord backward, making his boots cracking the tiles below. Not letting go of the advantage, the Captain swung again, not letting the Chaos Lord to retaliate. He struck again and again. At the fourth swing, the Chaos Lord knew he could not withstand it in his current footing, and decided to take a risk. Just as he blocked the fourth swing, he allowed the enemy's blade to run up his own blade, and then pushed it upward as he stepped forward.
Like brushing off dust, the Chaos Lord parried the attack and spun around, bringing in his sword then slicing at the Space Marine's belly. The Captain managed to take a step back, though it put him in a more awkward footing. The Chaos power sword cut into the armour and left a gash, though it was only the outer shell of it. Shouting from behind the helmet, the Chaos Lord lunged forward, punching the Brother Captain with his fist squarely in the chest. The crimson eyed gorgorn with ten snakes for hair, each snake representing a company of the chapter, which was the emblem of the Chapter, broke and cracked when the Chaos Lord punched it. The Captain cringed as he took a step back. The powerful boots cracked the tiny pebbled under it and crushed them into powder. The Space Marine Captain was forced to step back once more as the Chaos Lord swung his sword, nicking the bottom edge of the chest plate.
Jonas and other quickly panned out, trying to help the Space Marines of the Crimson Gorgons. The Terminators joined the lone Assault Terminator fighting the lone Khorne Berserker. The assault cannon whirled and rained down the bullets, taking the surprised Bersker off guard and pinning him to the wall. Bullets punched through the thick armour eventually and he fell to the ground, bleeding dark purple acidic blood. The Assault Terminator grabbed his hammer and smashed apart the Berserker's head. As for the Space Marines of the Gorgons, the White Hammer Space Marines charged at the Chaos Marines, shooting them down with the bolters and the Gorgons finished them off with their melee weapons.
Unfortunately, the fight between the Chaos Lord and the Captain was not so easily intervened. The Chaos Lord dodged the three shots from Evial's bolt pistol, and took another swipe at the Gorgon's Captain. The Captain, noticing that help had arrived, decided to end it quick and charged. This was an obvious mistake. Before Barius or Evial could intervene or help, the Chaos Lord evaded the thrust attack and grabbed the Captain's armour by the collar and lifted him up a few centimetres from the ground. The Chaos Lord laughed for a moment before thrusting his Chaos infested power sword through the Space Marine's armour, skewering him from under the chest plate to the chest, with the tip of the power sword touching the Captain's chin. Red blood dribbled from the corner of his mouth as the Space Marine Captain looked, bewildered and amazed that one mistake ended him so quickly. However, the Space Marine augments and training was not to be underestimated. He smiled. The Chaos Lord cocked his head then screamed as the dying Space Marine thrusted the power sword between the helmet and the armour.
The Chaos Lord flung the dying Captain aside and stumbled backward, clawing to get rid of the power sword awkardly sticking out of him. Evial went for the Captain of the Gorgons while Barius lept at the Chaos Lord. Just as the Chaos Lord pulled the sword out and three coloured blood began to shoot out of him, Chapter Master Barius jammed a power sword into the Chaos Lord, skewering him. Then Barius proceeded to bash the Chaos Lord to death. Each powerful punch crumpled the Chaos Lord's armour, denting the helmet and the chest piece alike. Taking out his bolt pistol, Barius shot at the joints of the Chaos Lord's limbs, and then took a final shot at the head, blasting it to pieces.

Evial held the dying captain of the Crimson Gorgons in his arms. The dying warrior coughed blood. Evial attempted to lay him on the ground for him to save strength.
"I am as good as dead, brother. Whoever you are, Space Marine, I am thankful that you are here to finish this up."
"I am Brother Captain of Evial of the White Hammers. We are here for the temple and what is inside."
"Our Librarian has detected something about the temple and ordered us here to claim it before the Chaos forces did. We failed."
"No, brother, you have killed the enemy."
"NO!"
He coughed more blood.
"A dozen traitors slipped past us. You must pursue them!"
"We cannot leave you here do die. You must survive to serve the Emperor again."
"Better to die than live a failure."
"You did not fail, brother."
Then the Battle Brothers of the Crimson Gorgons came to them in concern for their captain. Evial raised his head to look at them.
"Take your captain outside for evacuation. The whole planet is being evacuated. Get him medical attention. He may live if they put him in a Dreadnought."
"Yes, sir. We will take care of our captain."
Barius and Jonas came. Evial stood up and looked at them.
"We must go. A dozen traitors have gone deeper into the temple. They must not get their hands on the sword."
They all nodded, and led the White Hammers Space Marines deeper into the temple.
