RWBY 40k – Salem, Mistress of Inquisition.

[Theme: Shingeki No Kyojin Opening 1].

A symbol of a Salem's father kingdom flag could be seen on a wall.

"They're the prey and we're the hunters!"

The symbol is destroyed by an explosion, revealing the title "Salem, Mistress of the Inquisition" with under it written in gold "The Great Crusade", behind the title was the flag of the Imperium with the two eagles.

"And we're the hunters!"

The camera goes away a little of the title before turning to the stars.

"Gods ignorant of the trampled flower's name, the bird that fell from the stars takes her by the wind."

The next scene shows Salem marching on the land after leaving a grave. Her clothes changing from Remnant clothes to the Imperium's clothes. Her sons join her march, appearing one after another with their own family. All of their faces are serious.

"Even if you pray, nothing will be changed."

The next scene shows a horde of Orks marching inside a ruined human city. Followed by another scene of a Chaos Daemon incursion coming from a gigantic eye in the sky.

"But that which can alter the present is the resolution to fight."

An army of Luna Wolves is present inside of a courtyard with the flags of the Imperium. A cut shows them making the salute. The third cut shows them drawing their swords. The fourth cut shows them launching themselves at the Orks.

"Tramping over corpses, swine who mock the will to advance."

The next scene shows rapid images of the Imperium Propaganda against Xenos like Orks, Eldars, Rangda, Psybrids and other Xenos.

"Peace of the cattle and the prosperity."

Scene showing walls of human cities by explosion of the enemy artillery, with the middle showing the symbol of the Imperium.

"The freedom of the dead, hungry eagle."

The next scene shows Salem blasted away by the explosions shocked but composing herself in the next second.

"Our caged humiliation signals the start of our retaliation. Beyond the worlds, we're hunters that slaughter our prey."

Horus, Fulgrim and Magnus runs at the Orks and destroys them with the help of their Astartes while using their powers against them. Horus especially kills a Warboss.

"As these surging surges burn away our bodies, we ignite the dusk with a crimson bolter and bullet!"

The next scene shows the ramparts of a Hive City defended by both Rogal Dorn and Perturabo. Perturabo activates a cannon that he controls to destroy the Orks in his way. The next cut shows Sanguinius and Horus defending themselves against Xenos who towered at their same height, with heads resembling lumps atop their round torsos. Possessing long and thick arms with in the end three stubby fingers. The next scene shows Salem with her silver armour running and charges with her blood katana against a Bloodletter followed by a fading of the Imperium flag floating.

"And we're the hunters!"

The scene shows an Astartes running in slow-motion on an Ork. The next scene shows the Primarchs exiting their barges along with their Legion. In front the silhouette of the Emperor also running.

"And we're the hunters!"

In front of the coming army, a gigantic horde of Orks. And the overlapping army of Astartes coming to them. Before chaining with images of fight of Guardsmens against Xenos, Astartes against Xenos and the four silhouettes deep inside the warp accompanied by their daemons.

"And we're the hunters!"

Inside the overlapping images, the Brothers Gods are present, looking with contempt the guardsmens facing them. The next cut shows the map of the Galaxy covered by the blood along with the apparitions of uncountable names of different human planets.

The last three cuts show Salem, the Primarchs and the Emperor in their armour.

As the music reaches its final part, Salem, the 20 Primarchs along their whole family could be seen on a mountain gazing to the stars with their back turned from the camera.

[End of the theme and the generic].

Ep 64: Grimm vs Orks.

952.M30. In the South East border of the Segmentum Solar. In the Garcilian solar system.

The Civilised planet was in trouble. Missiles and plasma cannons are launched against the fleet of the Orks. The Garcilian Kingdom was trying to fight off again these Orks who were attacking them from the next planet.

They targeted like usual the fields and the Grox breeding grounds. The Supreme General Itvitcan Girtik was leading the defence. His tanks, vehicles and weapons were not as powerful as some from the Imperium. Their technology, very limited barely matched against the raging Orks.

The Supreme General of the Planet was protecting the huge walls around the biggest field region, measuring hundreds of kilometers wide and length.

The defensive cannons installed on the walls shoot their rains of metals, lasers and missiles. A lot of Orks were killed but the rest was still coming.

Their Lobba, Kannons were the only thing vaguely mechanical from the Orks apart from their vessels fabricated by their Mekboyz. Because the vast majority of them were Snakebites, leaded by their most ruthless and capable Rhunterdz.

When they did not send their Gretchins against their enemies by the clash of their whip, they launched oceans of Squigs. The oldest and most respected Rhunterdz where mounting Squiggoth and even Gargantual Squiggoth for the Nobz.

The number of corpses after days of fight and struggle undermined the protection of the walls only measuring 10 meters height for 5 of larger.

The Supreme General was on the part of the wall most protected, he was inside of the tower, accompanied by his generals.

General: "They need help in the south-west! The Orks tries to break through."

Itvitcan Girtik: "Send reinforcements toward the south and west as fast as possible. The walls don't have to falter!"

General nodded and tell the capcom to execute the order.

?: "GRAAAAAAH!"

Itvitcan Girtik: "What the?!"

A Gargantual Squiggoth arrived to the tower where the general was installed, its feet placed on the walls, while it's face and big mouth could be seen, right at the same height as the wall.

Itvitcan Girtik: "Oh shit!"

General 2: "Open fire!"

The soldiers inside of the tower began to pour their bullets toward the creature, some of them right inside of his mouth. But the creature resisted despite the pain, only groaning in rage and anger.

A lot of Gretchins launched themselves out from the Squiggoth and quickly swarmed the soldiers, ruthlessly killing the soldiers and the high-ranking officials by their small knifes, teeth and fangs.

The Supreme General himself, seeing that he was done for. He managed to push the button of Maximal Alarm, while was quickly covered by the Gretchins.

And then, the walls of the tower are swarmed by the Gretchins who takes out the soldiers who tried to hold them.

This breach permitted for the Orks to install ladders and towers, they began to roam inside of the fields and began to collect the crops while others kidnaped humans along with their Groxes. Weeks passed and the battle of the walls raged upon while slaves and food were brought back to the vessels.

Then, the Warboss, seeing that this is enough food for a big feast for a long time, ordered to his troops to leave the planet. After all, they have to regrown the food for next time.

The population was helpless but also angered of these raids, fearing that a WAAGH could devastate their world. But also, with the pillage of their lands makes them doubt to survive.

But since the other Legions were occupied taking out the biggest threats. They can only count on other expeditionary fleets.

At last, someone finally responded their pleas.

The King of Garcilia, Actros Gardinii prepared himself for receiving the commander in question. He could see that only one red and black vessel has arrived, a very small Havoc Class Escort. It was disappointing but still, every help is welcome.

He was about to meet the one who leads the army in question.

Actros Gardinii: "Let's welcome them as we should."

And so, the small barge coming from the Flagship present in the sky, recognizable by it's red and yellow colour arrived on the space port. It opened it's doors, and a lot of soldiers exited the ship preceding the commander in question. (Note: They have an outfit close enough to the soldiers of Starship Troopers but with brown colours).

Actros Gardinii (toward the vessel): "Welcome to our planet, Commander of the Imperium! We have requested your help for an emergency!"

The silence followed, interrupted by the motor still hot continuously becoming more silent. Then, Actros hears footsteps coming from the interior of the barge.

Stepping out of the light, the Commander is finally saw. With his rich outfit and decorations. He approached the king who began something is off with him.

He is noticeably paler than the rest of its own soldiers with his small white hair. His hands were covered in dark veins while being also pale. He was pale as a corpse.

But the general finally arrived at two meters away from the king. Actros could see the man in front of him. His face has the dark veins in its corners. His eyes were blood red while the sclerae of his eye were dark as tar. The king tried to remain composed but still, he was spooked by the appearance of the general in question.

Actros Gardinii: "Are you… the commander?"

General: "Absolutely, my name Viraxes Itvisco. Son of Virascia Itvisco, the Witch of the Fruits of Reikland."

Actros lifted his eyebrow.

Actros Gardinii: "Never heard about her."

Viraxes: "Yes, I understand. Reikland is inside of the Segmentum Solar and my community is quite not known for now…"

Actros Gardinii: "So, let me lead you inside of the palace."

Viraxes: "Of course…"

A few moments later…

The king and the commander of the fleet are inside of the diner room. It was big, with a great table. The decoration was quite fancy.

Viraxes: "Hm… Fancy."

Actros Gardinii: "My population love the appeal of the fancy."

Viraxes: "Now, let me know what is happening to you."

Actros Gardinii: "Hm… Let me explain."

He activates a hologram, revealing a stellar system with four planets.

Actros Gardinii: "Gardinia is the second place. The closest planet is infested with Orks. While the two others have two minors' tribes."

He showed next photos of the tribes. With smaller Orks who were taught by bigger Orks to use the whip.

Actros Gardinii: "And from why we analysed for decades of observation. The Orks were Snakebites who are been taught to breed, develop and manage their Squig Monsters. The Gretchins are the skeleton of their army, sent first to soften the offensive of their enemies."

Viraxes: "And the Snotlings?"

Actros Gardinii: "The Snotlings, they were either breeding the fungus or used as direct meal for their creatures when meat is lacking."

Viraxes: "I see… Also, why they are raiding your planets?"

Actros Gardinii: "Because our Groxes and fields are delicious in their eyes. Even if they have large amount of Snotlings, they would prefer our food."

Viraxes: "Big beasts… Small units… I would reflect this in my plan. Also, I would have the plans of the main regions of were the Orks inhabits but also the desertic ones."

Actros Gardinii: "What is your plan?"

Viraxes: "My plan has only begun; the plans could be helpful."

Actros Gardinii: "I see… I will search them."

The king raised from his chair and exited the living room. Viraxes was now alone.

Viraxes: "This king is submissive and hopeless; this world won't survive with a monarch like that."

A few moments later…

The king came back with a hologram, he posed it on the table before lighting it up. Four points situated on the big continent surrounded by smaller continents.

Actros Gardinii: "There four settlements. In the north, the Big Fan' filled to the brim with Squigs. The High Pik' who is inhabited with the Gretchins. The Great Forest, the side of the Snotlings cultivating the funguses. Finally, the Rhunterdz' city inhabited by the majority of the Orks. All concentrated in a single continent."

Viraxes: "Okay… I understand more. And for the next two planets."

Actros Gardinii: "The extreme condition makes extremely difficult to have an oversight on these planets. And so, I doubt there is any known Ork settlements on these planets."

Viraxes: "I see…"

Actros Gardinii: "I hoped to have more reinforcements. We cannot afford to have only one vessel."

Viraxes: "Listen to me, your majesty. The size sometimes doesn't count. It does count for the big campaigns of the Legions. But here, no. Because I have an alternative."

Actros Gardinii: "Really?"

Viraxes: "You just have to overlook any of my activities. Because, to give you just a small pit. I will fight this evil by evil."

Actros Gardinii: "Hm… Any solution is a good one. One more raid and my population will die of starvation."

Viraxes: "Your people will not die. I always keep my promise, this is not for nothing that I have become a Commander."

Actros Gardinii: "Thanks you…"

Viraxes: "Your welcome, your majesty."

A few hours later…

Viraxes returned to his ship. He exposes his plan to his Lieutenant Commander and his Flag Lieutenants.

Viraxes: "From what we have now. These are the four settlements on the second planet of the Gardinian system."

Lieutenant Commander: "How do we do that?"

Viraxes: "Since we have not enough men with only one vessel. We will find an alternative."

Flag Lieutenant 1: "What we use now?"

Viraxes: "Biological weapons and things like that. But also, I will personally take this operation along with my wife. Because we will use a new kind of warfare that has been rarely used in the Imperial Military before. Only by the most twined magicians of our era."

Flag Lieutenant 2: "Yeah? What is this kind of thing?"

Viraxes: "We shall use Grimms. Since they have the same type of resilience of Orks."

Flag Lieutenant 3: "What is a Grimm?"

Viraxes: "A familiar if you want to know. A sort of invocation of a creature that we, dark magicians can control."

Flag Lieutenant 4: "Don't say it's like Daemons…"

Viraxes: "No. Grimms are the very exact opposite of a creature of the warp, like Magic in itself."

Flag Lieutenant 2: "Can you explain more? We haven't been that been much explained about this since our arrival in this vessel."

Viraxes sighed.

Viraxes: "So, Magic is the opposite of Warp powers. It makes us Magicians, greatly resistant toward the Ruinous Powers. Me, as a Dark Magician, is completely immunised against Chaos Corruption since Darkness in the ultimate incarnation of magic and reality of our Material Dimension. So, for this reason we are valuable to fight some kinds of Xenos and Chaos Spawns. We obtain magic either by possessing a weapon containing a lot of magic, or being born with it from a lineage of magicians, or the last: by a ritual."

Flag Lieutenant 2: "What kind of ritual?"

Viraxes: "A spiritual opening ritual. A long processus of several hours where the person is put in an artificial coma before we began an opening ritual. First, we relieve the tense of the mind by injecting a nervous serum to put to sleep the nervous system except the vital organs. Then, we open their spirit by a specific symbol put on their head. Finally, and no less, we open the body spiritual gate after a long chant. We have to be extremely careful by putting slowly and gently the magic wind inside of the body, to not disrupt the soul of the patient. Also, we have to make sure that no warp creature and not Daemons won't possess the soul and the body of the patient since he is very vulnerable position. When magic is finally put inside the body of individual, the spiritual gates of conscience, mind and body will close while their spiritual protection will be reinforced greatly by the presence of magic. Finally, the person will awake like nothing bad happened to them. That's at least, when the ritual is well realised."

(Note: Yeah, I didn't precise this kind of thing in the Kamenka Troika. It's my small apology for those who didn't understand what I was implying).

Flag Lieutenant 3: "Okay… that's a good explanation."

Viraxes: "After that. We have to go in the Colleges of Magic and learn about the 8 branches. Ghyran, the Lore of Life. Azyr, the Lore of Heavens. Ulgu, the Lore of Shadow. Shyish, the Lore of Death. Aqshy, the Lore of Fire. Hysh, the Lore of Light. And Chamon, the Lore of Metal. Each magician is more skilled in one or several branches than others and will learn to control these things."

Flag Lieutenant 2: "And the Dark Magic in this?"

Viraxes: "Hm… We have named this Ulgonto, the Dark Wind. But here, you have to respond in a codification make by Magnus the Red, the Primarch of Prospero. First, dark magic is difficult to control since it can corrupt your soul. Amplifying greatly your character traits and emotions (especially the negative ones), making it more difficult to control them. And the first thing to do is to be master of your own emotions, it's obligatory. Then, the spells you learn has to be monitored by eight masters of the all branches. Since darkness is the base of the magic itself, all the spells of the 8 other branches are greatly amplified in scale, power, effects and magnitude. The formation of a dark magician like me take so much more time than the rest. Like the Sanctionned Psykers, master yourself first before mastering the world around you. Finally, when we graduate, we can life a normal life like the rest of the people, with the condition of respecting the Codification of Ulgonto. If not, serious consequences will happen to us since our source of power is dangerous."

Flag Lieutenant 4: "Gosh, that's quite scary."

Viraxes: "Don't worry, this is not for nothing that the Colleges of Magic have been created. Now, you are surely wondering what is the link with our mission right now? Then I will tell you now. The use of Dark Magic in the battlefield is authorised only in critical situation like a counter-offensive from the enemy, siege or anything who threaten the campaign as a whole or all our lives. There is also, the practical situation. For example, by strategic moves and in attempt to weaken the enemy on the side, by behind or even by the inside. We will use dark magic to do so. So, our situation for us, the use of Grimms is necessary since we lack soldiers and resources to fight Orks in a conventional way."

Lieutenant Commander: "A necessary evil, I would say."

Viraxes: "I have already sent a report to Prospero and the Corpus Inquisivitum. Like that, we are assured that we are not in any kind of problem."

Lieutenant Commander: "How do we do?"

Viraxes: "We will put Grimms inside of the most desertic regions and let do the rest."

Lieutenant Commander: "That's all?"

Viraxes nodded.

Viraxes: "Don't underestimate the Grimms. An Ork is a tumour, a Grimm is a parasite. I am just putting a parasite inside of the tumour. The parasite will kill the tumour and we can remove the parasite later."

The Lieutenant Commander gulped with a bit of disgust for the image.

Viraxes: "So we will arrive tomorrow close to the planet. Take a nap because we have to be concentrated to execute this plan."

The other lieutenants only nodded.

Viraxes: "Good. This session is closed."

All leave the small reunion room.

A small moment later…

Viraxes arrived inside of his private room. It was cozy, with baroque decorations. It has everything it has to have for a room. A desk, a nightstand, a library and a wardrobe. One door led to the bathroom, other lead to the toilets. But he doesn't go toward these doors. He goes to a third and knocked.

Voice: "I am occupied…"

Viraxes: "My quail, this is me."

Voice: "Yeah. But still, I am finishing something."

Viraxes: "Okay…"

He sits on the bed and wait patiently for several minutes.

Finally, the door opens. It reveals a woman in her mid-20s. She was like Viraxes. Her skin was as pale as a corpse, her long wavy white hair falls to her back and her shoulders. Her irises were as red as Viraxes' also, she has black sclerae. She was dressed in black clothes. A long black robe who is cut in several parts when reaching her legs, a brown belt marking the separation. She wears white boots going from feet to the upper part of her legs. Finally, she wears on each arm a black sleeve separated from the rest of the robe, revealing the skin of the upper part of the arms and a bit of her shoulders. Her left hand has a blood red ruby.

Woman: "What is this ruckus?"

Viraxes: "Let me explain the plan for you, Alyxia."

He taps his hand on the cover, he inviting his wife to sit next to him. Alyxia does it.

Alyxia: "I now listen…"

Viraxes began to explain Alyxia what is this plan. She lifted her eyebrow before she smirked, pleased of this idea.

Alyxia: "So I will exercise my magic without any worry?"

Viraxes nodded.

Viraxes: "Absolutely."

Alyxia: "I have a whole stock of Black Liquid."

Viraxes: "Hm… that's good."

Alyxia: "But we need to rest and I know exactly how and where."

Viraxes: "What do you mean?"

Alyxia: "Come with me."

She takes her husband by the hand and goes to the third door; she opened it and drags him inside of the room.

Inside of the big room, was a big pool full of hot water. At certain moments, bubbles are popping on the surface.

Viraxes: "Oh, this again…"

He rolled his eyes.

Alyxia: "What is the problem? Nothing bad will happen to you."

Viraxes: "It's still too hot for me."

Alyxia: "But it's relaxing."

She undresses herself, revealing her attiring body covered by black veins before immerging herself and siting inside the pool until there is only her head is popping out of it.

Alyxia: "Aaaaah… My shoulders were as stiff as rock."

She turned and make sign to him.

Alyxia: "Come."

Viraxes rolled his eyes again before undressing himself, exposing his well-shaped body and joining his wife. His left eye twitching from the hotness of this water and sit beside her.

Viraxes: "Still too much…"

Alyxia only hugged him, Viraxes grabbed her head and rubbed it gently.

Alyxia: "Let sleep here… it would be much more comfortable."

Viraxes: "…"

Alyxia: "Come on. You said it yourself: we need rest. Here, we will be fine."

Viraxes: "This is you that you said this."

But Alyxia doesn't listen to him and snuggled her face to his body.

Alyxia: "Less talking, more resting…"

Viraxes: "Okay… I give up."

He embraced her further and the two soon falls asleep of this water.

The next day…

Viraxes and Alyxia exited the pool and dried up after awakening before dressing up in their room.

The couple arrived inside of the bridge. Where the Lieutenant Commander and the Flag Lieutenants were waiting for them.

Viraxes: "Now we are here."

Lieutenant Commander: "How you will do it, miss?"

Alyxia smirked.

Alyxia: "Follow me please."

The Lieutenants and the Commander followed her inside of the ship before finally arriving a lower part of the ship, close to the docks.

Inside of this room were 8 tanks, reinforced by Adamantium shells. Expect for Viraxes, everyone is the room was impressed.

Alyxia: "Every tank contains 5 cubic meters of Black Liquid. Ready to unleash a Grimm. This has to be maintained in a stationary pressure to avoid any Grimm to form and try to break out."

Flag Lieutenant 1: "And what do we do with that?"

Alyxia: "We shall transfer this liquid inside of gas bottles, with strong pressure. We bring these kinds of bottles to the desert side of the planet, where the Orks rarely go. We will a small camp. Also, don't worry. I am capable of controlling the Grimms."

Flag Lieutenant 2: "Just a few guards with us…"

Alyxia rolled her eyes.

Alyxia: "If you want…"

Flag Lieutenant 2: "Thanks."

Alyxia: "We will dig a small lake. Our small base will be not so far of this lake."

Flag Lieutenant 3: "It's that so sure?"

Alyxia: "Yes, these foolish Orks trying to cross this lake will drown inside and be absorbed. It will make more and stronger Grimms. Grimms are attracted by negative emotions and since Orks love battle while grunting in a mix of madness, anger and joy of killing. All of this will draw mass amount of Grimms in a matter of hours."

Flag Lieutenant 1: "And what do we do then?"

Alyxia: "Nothing at all, since the Orks will be occupied with the Grimms and since the two species are resilient and are implacable: they would be like two colonies of ants ruthlessly engaging in an endless war of annihilation. Without worrying of anything else. For the next two planets. The Grimms would completely exterminate the tribes inside. We will tell the king about the danger of the Grimms."

Viraxes: "So, now you have closely listened of the plan of my wife. We will now go. Remind me how many Servitors from the Labour Corps we have?"

Lieutenant Commander: "100 exactly."

Viraxes: "So we bring them all to build this base. We will build a small base. Then we move when the lake will grow."

Lieutenant Commander: "Hm… Good plan."

Viraxes: "Now let's go… For the Imperium."

All of the Lieutenants and Alyxia: "For the Imperium."

Alyxia: "Hm… for the Imperium."

A few hours later…

There is a rock desert, populated with a few tribes of Gretchins and Snotlings with a few Squig. The Gretchins were bickering each other about a few objects they found or even the meat of the Squigs. While the Snotlings were herding the Squigs or cultivating the few Funguses growing on the scrubs of the valley.

Several Wrath Starfighters from the sky arrived on a hill, drawing the attention of the Grots and the Squigs.

The Wraths disembarked dozens of the Labour Slaves along with soldiers. The soldiers quickly fired on the closest Gretchins, Snotlings and Squigs. These are quickly killed, outnumbered and unequipped, the Gretchins and Snotlings quickly runs inside of their holes, a few bringing some Squigs with them.

The Labour Slaves exited the Wrath Starfighters, transporting in their mechanical hands two big gas cylinders before posing them on the ground.

The Flag Lieutenants and the Lieutenant Commander, accompanied by Viraxes and Alyxia.

Viraxes: "We are now here. (turn to the Lieutenant Commander) Put these soldiers in some hills surround our own hill. Just in case."

Lieutenant Commander: "Yes, commander."

Alyxia: "On my part, I will prepare for the gas cylinders."

Viraxes: "Hm… I will order for the construction."

Lieutenant Commander: "Let's go, soldiers."

In the next days, the base is built. Five small outposts are built while the main base, protected by small fences. The Servitors were now installing all of the gas cylinders inside a great hole that they have dug. Hundreds and hundreds installed inside of the curved hole. All under the eyes of the hidden Grots, observing from their holes.

Then, they came back and everything was ready. Alyxia was holding a remote.

Viraxes: "Now, let's begin the operation 'Ant War'."

Alyxia: "I am more than ready…"

She clicked on the remote control and in the next seconds, the gas cylinders opened and the lake quickly filled up with Black Liquid but also a black smoke who rose in the sky.

A few Gretchins and Snotlings exit hesitantly their holes. Surrounding the lake and looking curiously at it. The rare Squig who are survived sniffed the smoke before groaning, gritting their teeth toward the Black Liquid.

The small lake continued to fill itself until it got flat and silent. The Gretchins and Snotlings slowly gattered around the lake. Looking at it with a mix of fear and curiosity.

Then, the Gretchins gossiped with their usual gibberish and grunts each other to the next move to plan. And then, they turned to the smallest Snotling, grinning with malice.

And without warning, seized the Snotling in question before launching him right to the lake.

On the side of the couple…

Viraxes: "These little goblins have evilness in their blood."

Alyxia: "Let's hope I don't fall pregnant in an Ork planet. I don't want my newborn baby to be stole by one of these horrid things."

Viraxes: "Hm… It won't happen."

Return to the Grots side…

The Snotling tries desperately free himself from the tar before his body goes inside of the goo, leaving only a few bubbles and then nothing.

The Gretchins laughed with their little sadistic tone. While the Snotlings were only staring on the black goo.

But then, one bubble, then two bubbles, followed by a lot more. Then, the trail of the bubbles slowly approached the group.

And then, it exited suddenly.

It was a furrowed Grimm with two red eyes, a mask with red markings. Bone spikes protruding his arms back and knees. His hands and feet are tipped with long, sharp, white claws. His size was quite small, like a dog.

But still, it was a ferocious Beowolf.

He began to tear apart the closest Gretchins and Snotlings, the rest quickly runs away and going to the hole of their hills, terrified to death.

Then, the Beowolf quickly sees that he was surrounded by the three Squigs that survived the assault of the human visitors. They groaned and grunted against the Beowolf. Three predators against one predator.

The Beowolf glanced at the two Squigs in front of him while feeling the third just behind him. Then, the Squig behind him launched against the Beowolf, the Grimm quickly turned and slams the Squig, killing it in the instant to the ground, the two rushed at the Beowolf and began to bit and kicks it.

The Beowolf tried his best to fight against the two Squigs but the two were relentless. The Beowolf, despite his ruined body, managed to take by his mouth the third Squig and then goes inside of the Grimm pool.

The Squigs stopped at the very edge of the lake, barking and grunting at the lake, ordering the Beowolf to exit. But it didn't.

The two Squigs turned around the lake, fixing their glassy eyes on the Grimm Liquid, searching any sign of the lake. But there is still nothing.

But suddenly, the Beowolf jumped out of the lake and strikes a deadly blow to the second Squig, killing it in the spot. The first Squig rushed at the Beowolf, decided to finish it. But then, it got pierced by a sting.

It was a Death Stalker, as small as a Beowolf. Only its tail was exiting the tar. It slowly brings the Squig corpse of the Grimm Liquid. The Beowolf devoured his prey with his big mouth.

The Death Stalker exited the Grimm pool at it's turn. The two goes to the holes were the Gretchins and the Snotlings were hiding.

The Beowolf approached the biggest hole and began to make his way inside while the Death Stalker stays outside.

After a minute, the screams of the Gretchins and Snotlings could be heard inside of the holes of subterranean tunnels, followed by the growl of the Beowolf. Then, some Snotlings quickly exited their holes, only to be met with the deadly claws of the Death Stalker without forgetting his sting. Then the Gretchins come in their way to encounter the same fate.

Exiting from the Grimm Pool, a small dog sized Ursa joined the Death Stalker in this master plan of trap, using his claws to tear the Grots. After a few minutes, the growls and the screams ceased in the tunnel. The Beowolf exited the hole, staring at the pile of corpse.

The Ursa and the Death Stalker devoured several bodies of the Gretchins. Then after finishing, the group of three Grimms picked up the bodies of dead Snotlings and Gretchins before tossing them inside of the lake. Then, they began to circulate around the lake, guarding it and looking around to potential victims.

Inside of one of the outposts…

Soldier: "I am a bit scared."

Lieutenant Commander: "Stay calm. They are far and if you are not afraid. They won't feel you."

Returning to the lake…

The lake began to bubbling and quickly, a Nevermore exited it while marching. It has the size of a small eagle.

But then, the Nevermore turned his head to a direction, followed by the three other Grimms. And then, the group of four goes to the same direction. The Nevermore spread his wings and began fly, guiding the three other animals.

In the base…

Flag Lieutenant 1: "What is happening?"

Viraxes: "I can feel violence in the horizon. It seems that two nobz have decided to fight between themselves with their armies."

Flag Commander: "These Grimms will commit a massacre… But how they will do it?"

Alexya: "Look."

She pointed toward the lake. All could see that a quite large group of Grimms composed of Creeps, Cenitaurs and Sabyrs. All of small size. They quickly joined the first four.

The army of Grimms rushed inside of the desert and quickly arrived in a small tribe of Orks inside of a small forest of the bushes.

Two Nobz were disputing the role of the new Warboss along several other Orks. And without warning the small army of Grimms, rushed inside of the Ork tribe.

This surprise attack ended in a bloodbath for the Orks, the Grimms were ruthless. The Cenitaurs spatted out their acidic liquid toward the Orks before finishing off their enemies. The Creeps bites and slammed with their tails. The Sabyrs used their big fangs to do deadly bites.

In the next hours, the Grimm massacred the tribe. Some of the Grimms devoured their bodies while the rest brings the bodies back to the black lake dozens of minutes later.

On the couple side…

Viraxes: "It's beginning to unfold. It's only a matter of time before this great war began."

Alexya: "I am waiting for it…"

In the next month, the Grimmlands began to expand, more and more and Grimms began to come in existence. And the pressure of the Grimms intensified in the desert and finally, the Grimms launched their invasion of the Big Fan'. The place before the Rhunterdz city who was inside of the jungle.

It was inside of a big mountain surrounded by a large amount of Squig farms, where Snotlings and Gretchins were taking care of the Squig. While the Squiggoths were raised by the most experienced Rhunterdz'.

The Rhunterdz' installed here couldn't believe that were seeing.

An ocean of Grimms were coming toward them. Flying, marching and running.

Geists in rock golem Form, Megoliaths, Nuckelavee, Wyverns were in the very front. The initial charge was a bloodbath especially for the Rhunterdz' side. The Squigs couldn't fight against this ocean of Grimms. Only the Squiggoths matched but they were overwhelmed.

And so, the gigantic ocean of Grimms penetrated the very core of the base and massacred the Warboss in question.

Above the sky, there is the Wrath Starfighter of the couple.

Viraxes: "This is advancing like we wanted."

Lieutenant Commander: "What is the plan now?"

Viraxes: "Now, we will drown the Grimm toward the capital city of the Rhunterdz', if the capital is destroyed with their ships. They will lose the whole south part of their planet and the balance of power will simply balancing."

Alyxia: "I cannot for it. Also, we can save the human slaves in the Rhunterdz' city."

Viraxes: "Hm… maybe."

With the loss of the Big Fan', the Grimms began to expand in the whole plains surrounding the Rhuntherdz' city.

The Ork Warlord of the planet launched a WAAAAGH against the Grimms.

And the single vessel could see that the gigantic WAAAGH was directing against the Grimms. It was the perfect moment.

In a day, the Wrath Starfighters from the vessel arrived above the Ork city, it was more like a huge tribe camp. Occupied Runtherdz', Gretchins and Snotlings but also human slaves with their Groxes in the suburbs part in the south. In the North, the Ork vessels were here.

Viraxes: "Here, they are. Now let's raid them!"

Alyxia: "Let's save them!"

When half of the Wrath Starfighters goes to the Spaceport. While the rest directed by the couple of fighters toward the Grox breeding.

The Wrath Starfighters opened their doors and launched their attack, the Rhunterdz' tried to counter but their weak number makes them to unable to fight against the Imperial Soldiers. The slaves could see that this is the chance to freedom and quickly rushed toward the Starfighters.

Viraxes: "Let's go! Come now!"

The rest of the Starfighters quickly came back and save a lot of slaves.

Unfortunately, a lot of Gretchins and Orks arrived and began to massacre the slaves who haven't reached the barges. And so, if a lot of human slaves managed to get inside of the Wrath Starfighters, the rest was quickly killed.

Viraxes: "We cannot save more of them… The rest is not alive anymore."

Alyxia: "I know…"

Viraxes: "Let's go now!"

The Wrath Starfighters closed their doors and leave the place, with a very small part of the human slave who has managed to be freed. Despite the success it was bittersweet.

A few days later, the Ork Warlord was killed by the Grimms and so the Rhuntherdz' capital was completely taken over by the Grimms. The few Nobz with their Orks were forced to go in the North, inside of the High Pik', a mountain chain filled with Gretchins or the Great Forest of the west, where the Snotlings were cultivating the majority of the Funguses of the planet. A new Warlord, Gralik Gorbakor imposed himself as the new Warlord and launched a new WAAAGH against the Grimms and managed with the reinforcements of the North at stabilising the lines.

For Viraxes and Alyxia decided to return to Gracilia, deeming that their mission was accomplished. They both met the king.

Actros Gardinii: "Are you sure of what you said?"

Viraxes: "Absolutely, your majesty. From my last observations, the Mekboys and other Oddboys are now focalising their effort against the Grimms."

Actros Gardinii: "I cannot thank you enough. How I can repay you for that?"

Viraxes: "Let's say that you let yourself integrated inside of the territory of my Overlady. Salem von Imperium. The most powerful High Lord of the Imperium. And most of all and not less: Mother of the Primarchs."

Actros Gardinii: "Salem von Imperium. Never heard of her…"

Viraxes: "Don't worry, you will learn about her."

Actros Gardinii: "Of course. And for the next two planets?"

Alyxia: "Don't worry, the Grimms will be in charge. Also, you said it yourself. They are much more primitive than the Rhunterd main tribe since they live in planet with harsh conditions."

Actros Gardinii: "We will be always be with you, lord Viraxes."

Viraxes: "Of course."

Actros Gardinii: "Also, let me offer you this."

He takes something from a table and gives a sort of medal with a star of three branches.

Actros Gardinii: "This is the medal of heroes of Gardinia. The most prestigious of Gardinia."

He fixed it on the cloth of Viraxes.

Viraxes: "That's an honour. The Supreme General would be happy to see his planet finally safe."

Actros Gardinii: "Of course."

Viraxes: "Now, a feast to celebrate it."

Actros Gardinii: "Let's celebrate."

A few weeks later, in Terra…

Salem was inside of her office, reading about reports of her Lord Investigators. Reports about succeeded purges against some Xenos or Chaos Cults, or discovering of these kinds of things.

But then, she stumbles upon the sight of one of the folders. Viraxes Itvisco and his wife Alyxia.

It was a bit surprising to see the name of the young magician figuring inside of the letters of the Lord Investigators. Even amusing in her eyes.

Salem: "Him? Oh my… He is quite resourceful."

She reads about what happened on Gracilia and she was quite surprised. Grimms could do that? Really?

Salem: "Hm… If that's a case. Then, we have a mean to vanquish the Orks for good… Let's contact some scientists from Reikland…"
