Javosk walked through hallway after hallway, intent on reaching the communications room. He had no problem getting past the guards, being a captain but once he got in and was talking to Inquisitor Ander the real problems began.
"I don't think I'm hearing you properly Captain" she said.
"No Inquisitor, I'm certain there are Necrons in the subsector" replied Javosk. "The Chapter Master may not believe it but his head is only thinking about Chaos. He cannot see the facts through his pride."
"Be careful with your words Captain he is your Chapter Master and we checked thoroughly" insisted the Inquisitor. "I find it hard to believe that there are Necrons when we didn't found a single trace of them."
"It doesn't matter if it's Necrons or not we need your help" said Javosk. "They have taken most of our territory in a couple of weeks, we are not prepared."
"I'll sent you part of the fleet Captain but I'm still not convinced why you are so worried about it" answered the Inquisitor.
"I'm worried because what if they have already been on this world" said Javosk.
"What do you mean" asked the Inquisitor, deeply interested.
"I mean what if they have been here and taken over parts of the planet. Ships, tanks, turrets, safe houses, they could have all been sabotaged" the captain replied. "If it is Chaos like you say they could have already converted most of the people by now. I would like to... I would like to request the exterminatus fleet Inquisitor."
"Captain, are you really that sure that this world might need complete purging" asked the Inquisitor very seriously.
"Yes, I am sure" replied Javosk.
"Very well then, I shall get the fleet ready. We are close by so we shall arrive in a matter of days" said the Inquisitor. "Inquisitor Ander out." And with that Javosk went to marshal the ground forces.
Three days had passed since then war meeting and Lander was shouting orders in the bridge of his command ship more than he ever had. He already had half the Space Marine ships in place and some of the Imperial ships were ready as well but most were having problems. It should have been a simple process but it was taking far longer then he thought. He was in the middle of discussing the errors of an imperial cruiser's engines when the enemy fleet appeared.
Vast amount of crescent shaped ships appeared. Immediately after phasing in they began unleashing fighters and bombers. Lander was about to order the attack when he noticed something different about one of the larger battleships. It had a pyramid on it just like the other battleships but on top of it was a glowing green ball of energy, slowing increasing in size.
"Raise the shields" ordered Lander. He knew that the orb was going to do something once it had charged up but he was surprised when it did. With no warning the orb exploded sending a wave of green energy in all directions. Once the wave had passed through his fleet he waited but nothing happened. Then the lights began to flicker.
They kept switching on and off and on again. Lander looked out the window and saw that the lights on the rest of the ships were also flickering. He suddenly knew that the energy wave was not meant to destroy but to drain the energy and make them easy to kill.
"Sir, the ship is losing power. Our shields are at thirty percent and dropping" informed one of the marines.
Then all the light went out, leaving them in darkness but then they all came on again but this time instead of just Lander and his best engineers on the bridge, there was Lander, his best engineers, twenty flayered ones and a Necron Overlord in front of Lander with his warscythe ready to swing. Lander only had time to grab his sword and hear his men being slaughtered before his head was cleaved from his shoulders.
The Necron Overlord looked out the windows and saw its enemy's ships being destroyed. It then took Lander's head and was then teleported back to his ship with the flayered ones. Once the Necrons were finished with Space Marine and Imperial Guard fleet they start to descend to the planet.
