Many planets met their end at the hands fo the GE in the war between the GE and Dratheria. One of the most beautiful of these worlds was Dratheria. Dratheria was the first of many planets to suffer under the assaults of the GE. However Dratheria suffered far worse for it was destroyed. It was now a massive rubble field with magma still leaping in it from rock to rock. In the center was a large rock asteroid with a massive Citadel situated on it. It shifted appearance constantly shifting between a pristine beautiful palace and a gothic daemonic palace. Those who passed by the palace would see dark forms moving by the windows. The Ronwe lived here forever suspended in Limbo. the Ronwe an ancient race of demons who had been the wisest and most powerful of all the beings in Hell. Although most people thought that the Arcorans were the first of the first they were not. Before the Archangels fell to Hell they were created by both sides to be agents of darkness and light and after they were destroyed and split into two different demons the Arcorans and the Akuma, Rishnu determined that they would return one day and bring with them an unstoppable force of light and darkness. They in essence would carry the soul of a human with the power of demons. So when someone looked at a Ronwe they would see what was in their own hearts, if a person was good they would see an Angel as beautiful as the light in their soul but if they were evil they would see a daemon as fearsome as the evil in their own hearts. Yet still those torn between both would see the warrior in his true Dratherian form. In it's massive depths rested the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer once named Dratheria's Hope and now renamed Dratheria's Vengeance. The ship rested there and was always ready for combat. In the highest tower was a throne room and at one end a man once known as John Mercer kneeled to two statues one was of the Immortal Emperor and the other was of the Creator. He whispered a silent battle prayer and walked out onto the balcony and called the Ronwe to the courtyard. Where there was once no one there were now thousands of soldiers. He called out to them and said, "Brethern we must now engage our brethern from Reken. A change has happened in Reken they now follow Chaos but this Chaos god is unlike anything we have seen before. They follow a new Chaos god. I will travel there first and if you men are needed I will call upon you. Farewell for now." With those words he shimmered and moments later he went from Limbo to the Planet of Reken. He appeared there and transformed into a Malal Great Wolf. He then focused his mind and sensed for psychic presences.To the south he detected Aluora and to the Northwest he found Tusanco he ran towards the Northwest and shimmered appearing seconds later behind Tusanco in his Ronwe form. He looked at Tusanco and said, "What the hell is happening here?"

Sensing a new large Psyker aura on the planet, Tusanco turns drawing his Cruzious, he gives the newcommer a sence of security. with less than a heart beat of when the being aears behind him Tusanco whirls around holding the tip of his weapon to the beings throat. "The man you once knew is now gone and don't let this outfit confuse you, a harlequin like myself is a force to be reckoned with. leave this planet now and never return, you best hurry I cannot hold back my men forever, they havent eaten in days."

Mercer laughed, "Well the same can be said about me." Mercer shimmered a bit back then folded into the shadows saying, "Tusanco I welcome the challenge. Your soldiers may be powerful but I am even more powerful than I once was. I am Ronwe. All I wish to know is what has happened. What is wrong with this world and your men? as well why do I sense a mark of Chaos on this planet? And why the hell haven't you guys contacted the Imperium and secluded yourselves?"

" Your imperium has fallen and your emperor has disapeared. the once proud imperium is once again no more. As we speak ships are on their way out of this syatem to scour the measly remains that was once the old imperium to create a new dynasty, the dyansty of Malal." Tusanco states as a psykic blast flies unto the entirety of the shadowed area. "i willno warn you anymore, leave now or be removed by force!"

Mercer caught the blast and groaned in agony as he absorbed the blast into his body. He then said, "And where do you intend to begin fighting? The Emperor's home of New Terra? Dratheria? Theao? Ugoria? Phalanix? Demonsin? I can guarantee you none of these Empires will fall easily to you. In fact they will fight as one to beat you back to your own home system and destroy you. The Dratherians may be gone but there are still others out there who will fight against you." Mercer's head cocked and he sensed a new presence on this world a more powerful presence than even Aluora. Mercer's massive winged form dropped to the ground and he chose a form, that of an Angel of tremendous light. He then kneeled as he knew the presence.

The new Shadow Chaser Mk II had dropped the Emperor and his five Primarchs onto the planet. The Primarchs who were dressed in different colored Power Armors each inscribed with the sacred seals of the Emperor. Peras the Psyker Primarch was dressed in gold and purple armor with a Psyker blade and Holy Bolter at his side. Tur the Xenos Primarch was dressed in forest green and gold armor with a Xenos blade and Holy Bolter at his side. Just the Warrior Primarch was dressed in jet black armor with a Holy Bolter and a Warrior Blade at his side. Lyr the Daemon Primarch was dressed in gore red armor with a Daemon Blade and a Holy Bolter at his side. Finally Thor the Chaos Primarch was dressed in golden armor and wore a Chaos blade and a Holy Bolter at his side. These five Primarchs walked behind the Emperor as the loud rip of a Quantum Interphaser could be heard and the flash of light blinded those that watched it. when the light was gone the Emperor could be seen in his full glory and a psychic bolt flew towards Tusanco. He spoke then, "I have disappeared have I?" He looked at Mercer and smiled saying, "Rise old friend I thought you were dead it appears you just rose to a higher plane." He looked at Tusanco again and said, "I trusted you Tusanco why do you betray me?"

Pulling his cruzious to block the Psychic bolt only deflecting the majority of it he is spun away into the air. regaining his sences in midair Tusanco sends out his Psychic location and lands nimbly on the balls of his feet and one palm. "That was a big mistake, at one point in time i may have revered you as a powerful being where now i only pity those who still follow you in the fact that they still believe in the strength of the flesh." Tusanco speaks out over the Psychic plane. Throwing a psychic ball at the Emperor, Tusanco pulls out his combi bolter following the Psychic ball with a boltershell and a plasma round. "Not even your Primarch's can protect you from what you are about to encounter." Howling with laughter Tusanco Disapears in a puff of smoke only to reveal two Land Raiders speeding toward the current location. seemingly all around Tusanco's vile laughter echos.

The Emperor smiled as he created a psychic barrier protecting him from the attack. He drew his blade with amazing speed and spoke to Mercer, "Take care of him I can handle these Chaos followers. It will be a good exercise after so many millenia." With that more Quantum Interphasers could be heard ripping the STC and twelve squads of Marines and six Predator tanks appeared around them. They included members from the Imperial Fists, Just Sword, Thunder Hammer, Daemonslayer, Psi-Lord, and Warpslayer Space Marine Legions. The squads charged forward as did their Primarchs and at their head was the Emperor launching powerful psychic bolts against the Land Raiders as the tanks fired their lascannons and heavy bolters at the transports.

Mercer nodded, "Yes my Emperor but should you need some assistance give out a psychic call to the Ronwe." Mercer reverted to his Ronwe form and shimmered after Tusanco. He thought to himself, What could be wrong with Tusanco? He used to be such a kind-hearted man what happened the psychic blast I absorbed was so malcontented. It was so polluted he can't really be that way. Mercer appeared on the Psychic plane and drew his blade Kusanagi and called, "Tusanco come out let us settle this but you should realize we are ever-closer to my realm making my power more complete. And I know you are stronger here as well. So let us do battle."

The Emperor smiled as he created a psychic barrier protecting him from the attack. He drew his blade with amazing speed and spoke to Mercer, "Take care of him I can handle these Chaos followers. It will be a good exercise after so many millenia." With that more Quantum Interphasers could be heard ripping the STC and twelve squads of Marines and six Predator tanks appeared around them. They included members from the Imperial Fists, Just Sword, Thunder Hammer, Daemonslayer, Psi-Lord, and Warpslayer Space Marine Legions. The squads charged forward as did their Primarchs and at their head was the Emperor launching powerful psychic bolts against the Land Raiders as the tanks fired their lascannons and heavy bolters at the transports.

the Squad of Six marines leap into the air unleashing volley after volley of mini grens and plasma grens pushing off each other all easily clearing the mass of enemy marines. landing the all draw dual bolters or bolter, plasma gun combos, opening up on the enemy. the first land raider connects with the psychic bolts flipping and ignighting as the others intended for the other raider colide with it. six malan terminators walk out of the wrekage along with the driver adding to the fire of the marines. the second raider opens fire on the thanks unloading it's six terminators as it becomes a flamming ball of tread and cerimate heading directly for the predators.

"you must find us a great threat to expose so manny to our tainted lands you foolish man." Tusanco's voice echos, "scared of acouple measly marines? how pathedic." he finishes as his voice trails off.

Mercer laughed and said, "You make me laugh Tusanco such a wasteland is nothing to a Marine, Primarch, Ronwe, or even the Emperor. We only wish to know what has happened and we care for you Tusanco. I know of Malal I have heard his name only whispered in all times as a feared being. Fine if you do not wish to come out then I will force your hand." with that Mercer reached out and grabbed at Tusanco with his psychic powers so he could drag Tusanco to Limbo.

A tank was destroyed when the flaming Land Raider slammed into it but the other five pressed on targeting the surviving Terminators with their Lascannons and Heavy Bolters pounding away. Some of the Marines were killed by the assaults and their Primarchs and brethern charged on spreading out to engage individual targets as the Predators backed them up. The Emperor however planted himself calling out, "For the Imperium! For your Brethern!" While yelling this a psychic storm of tremendous proportions spawned above his head and the lightning from it began to strike out against the enemy. Meanwhile with incredible precision he drew his Combi-Bolter and fired Plasma encased Bolter shells at the Terminators. On the Emperor's call and action the Primarchs and Marines fought harder and harder. The Marines themselves became more focused attempting to match their Malal brethern.

OOC: hey Drath you cant call pulling my char into thing you can only attempt you cannot assume mercer has a stronger Psychie than Tusanco. try again.

IC: one terminator obliterated as a laz cannon connects with his head spraying blood and grey matter everywhere. the others pressing on combineing themselves with enemy marines hoilstering weapons and drawing their blades or thrusting foward with power and chainfists. ast this the other marines charge crying out a fearsome battle roar that has tested the strength of many chaos marines. they draw a chainsword after hoilstering one of their combi weapons. the two marines blasted down by the inital gunfire only enraged the survivors more throwing them into controled bloodlust.
The ground shakes as two thunderhawk gun ships come into view unleashing fire onto the tanks. as they come to be over the swarms of tangled marines two more squads of marines jump freefall into the mass of marines as commander Sternhammer and his son are the last to follow their marines out of the two ships.

Two tanks exploded as the strike came in from above. When the Terminators came in to engage the Marines the other three tanks targeted the Thunderhawks with their Lascannons. Marine after Marine fell as the onslaught came on. The Marines draw their Power Swords and attack full forward against the warriors of Malal with the Warpslayers at the head. The Warpslayers and Daemonslayers were armed with Anti-Warp armor that weakened Chaos warriors and Daemons as they got near. As well the Psi-Lords were equipped with Power Armor that increased Psyker attacks and protected against the same. The Psi-Lords fired powerful psychic bolts at the Malal warriors as they came near. And more Interphaser rips opened up spilling out six Dreadnoughts and six squads of Terminators which charged through the opening guns blazing and with hand to hand weapons raised. While all this happened the Primarchs brought their holy weapons to attack on the enemy charging ahead of their own Marines.

The Emperor watched as Sternhammer and Adormange fell to the ground. He lowered his Combi-Bolter and his sword and said, "Sternhammer what is this madness? Why do you betray me now after millenia of service?"

The arrival of the wolfen squads only increased the moral of the malan warriors. already half of the terminators have fallen along with one of the dropships as it steered toward the remaining tanks attempting to take them with it. A ferval roar fills the area as Adormange and Sternhammer draw dual chainswords crossing them infrount of them as they are drawn." Malal has opened our eyes to your vile ways, and we will fight for them no more!" Adormange cals out as his father bites the jugular of a nearby enemy. The remaining two of Tusanco's force mixi into the mass of wolfen marines and press onward only to have one cut down by a primarch. Adormange throws a carcas to the ground, blood oozing from his lips he calls out, "Peras! you are mine! and by the end of this night i shall taste your blood."

"Open Fire!!" Tusanco calls out as he feels a distant psychic force drawing him into limbo. going into a medatative state he fights off the p[ull with all his might keeping his place on the bridge of the Spear of Indemifcation. The reken fleet opens fire on the battle barges orbiting the planet as a warning shot pulses by the lead dratherian/god-emperor battlebarge. "open a channel to the enemy fleet," tusanco pauses as the channel opens, "LEAVE NOW or you shall never see the world beoynd the reaches of this star cluster!" opening another channel to the main city, "Aloura it is as Malal had foreseen it, open fire on my command and release the hounds. . . "

Many of the Space Marines were killed by the Wulfen as they pulled back to a perimeter. Leaving three squads of Terminators and thirteen Marines with the three tanks creating a perimeter against the Thunderhawk. The Primarchs jumped into the fray with their weapons jetting out spews of lightning and firing psychic bolts. Peras charged adormange and fired a powerful psychic bolt yelling, "For the Emperor!!!"

The Emperor spoke calmly to sternhammer, "What vile ways? My job is to be custodian of the human race and to help them grow and prosper. But if you wish to taste my blood Sternhammer then you will have to take it by force!" With that the energy shield on the Emperor's right gauntlet activated and he took his sword to stance and fired a massive amount of psychic energy at Sternhammer.

"You were crippled by your own creation! and now you expect to concour us with these measly meat puppets?? I laugh at your arrogance," Adormange mocks as he severs a nearby foe; and then your "Uber primarchs" invade my homeland and try to take over? HA! hot even the mighty Tusanco would be that stupid."
Bringing his attention to Peras he flips to the side dodging the psychic blow and springs from his mighty legs toward Peras creating a bone shattering spear with the two blades.

"How foolish you pathedic mortals are! all the while you try to kill of my followers portions of my fleet are heading to indescreet planets that once were included in the imperium of the Golden's Trones imperium." a voice calls out as a chaotic rift opens and Aloura walks out with her personal body guard. shortly after they clear the rift, it expands and the foot of a spider dreadnaught walks through flanked by two lesser daemons wielding enormous claymores. "let the festivities begin." Aloura comments.

OOC I should prolly tell everyone right now that I am a huge Boondock Saints fan. So I got the idea of the prayer while watching it. I decided to modify the prayer to follow the WH40K kinda feel. Also if you look at the treaty each member held samples of gene-seed from every chapter in the IoM to insure the survival of each chapter.

IC
The Emperor spat back, "I was felled by him because in the beginning I could not bring myself to kill my greatest friend. But then we both realized what must be done for the sake of humankind. You don't even know the meaning of the words friend or family if you would turn on them so easily we all took you in the Dratherians, the Imperium, and everyone else who you betray. We came not to destroy you but rather to save you." He turns to stare wide-eyed at Aluora and said, "Why would you travel back to the Dark Galaxy unless you intend on battling the Imperium forces there."

Peras meanwhile parried Adoremange's attack and drew power from the Emperor's psychic storm and fired a blast back at the Wulfen Primacrch while they locked blades.

In space The Crusader hung cloaked and undetectable by the Rekenian battleships. On board a thousand soldiers waited to be called by their lord. These thousand soldiers made up part of the Extermination Force created by the Emperor himself. This force were made up of Marines from every Chapter in the IoM including even the Dark Wolves themselves thanks to the IoM treaty. The warriors armed their Combi-Bolters (Plasma encased bolter rounds) and Power Swords. Twenty of the warriors stepped through the Interphaser portal onto the planet's surface. As they walked they fired off rounds from twin Combi-Bolters and chanted their sacred prayer, "Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is the corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be shot by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill there blood, till it rains down from the skies. Do not commit heretical acts. Do not worship Chaos. Do not harm the innocent. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest price. There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser of forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over into our domain. But if you do one day you will look behind you and you will see us, and on that day you will reap it. For the Emperor! For the Creator! For Justice! And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be."

". . . and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patrie, et fili et spiritu sancti."

OOC: teeming the souls? so now you worship the celtic gods instead of the God emperor??? intresting. . .

IC: Watching the seemingly countless marines walk out of that portal Aloura looks on and laughs " Leave you? many atimes have you left us on the line to salvage what was left of many of our joint endevours. We cannot stand with men like that. And now you come at us with these outdated clones? i shall show you how a true leader her army." Chanting in an arcane tongue Aloura raises her hands a the Ground starts to shake, a enormous crevice opens behind her as a daemon so terrifying that it would kill a normal man at mere sight of it. The Dreadaxe in one hand a sword in the other, daemonic essence oozing out of both of them. A buckler barely big enough in comparasion to be called a buckler, at the diamater of a average space marine, it mounts itself to the arm of the Dreadaxe. " I call him tiny, but to you his name, translated for your comprehension, is Warthrash Glutdangle." The daemon opens its maw to a deffening roar. enev though manny of the wolfen and all of the terminators have fallen the remaining faught with renewed vigor. Adormange took the full force of the Psychonic blast and pushes on, his entire strength pushing agunst his opponent's blade.

Mercer appeared on the bridge of the Spear of Idemification and said, "Tusanco what madness drives you. Why do you fight us we considered you a friend and one of our greatest friends at that. Ar you truly planning to fight the Imperium of Man?"

OOC Ok this isn't supposed to sound mean I'm just gunna explain that there is a thousand warriors onboard but they all aren't coming out only twenty are. Also these Marines are the best of the best and made up of Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Black Dragons, Dark Angels, Ultramarines, etc etc. Many of them are Wulfen, Death Company Marines, Dragon Claws, Tank Company Marines, etc etc.

Just looked to the two remaining Tanks and ordered them to target all of their fire on the Daemon to which they responded with all weapons firing. Lyr and Thor looked to each other and readied their weapons to fight against the massive Daemon should it charge them. Meanwhile Peras rolled as Adoremange's superior strength overtook him. He came up and stabbed out with his Psyker blade for Adoremange's stomach. All the while he was building up Psyker energy above his head.

Meanwhile the Emperor drove forward while his blade let fly jets of Psyker energy, "Aluora we never left you to salvage things. When we called a retreat you were expected to come with. Many times we won the battle but lost the war. Other times we stood with you and had you asked us we would have stayed and fought with you till the bitter end. Men and Women from our nations fought and died together. What would they think of this now? Just tell me why you turned to Chaos I just wish to understand. Was it to destroy me? To stop Chaos? I know of Malal and he hates the Gods of Chaos moreso than he hates man. I considered you my friends and I would have died for you and I thought you felt the same. Will you be like Horus? Or will you be like The Lion and Leman Russ?"

OOC: ys i do realize that but you must realize the only geene seed of wolfen you may have would be the one in Sternhammer so i find it hard that you could have theirs and with the out of date comment it is in the opinion of the Malal followers so to them they are outdated copies of themselves.
Dratheria how is it that you can pass through my shields on my ships??? think before you act.

IC: Swing the buckler infrount of him the daemon blocks the inital attacks of the tanks. He swings his mighty sword toward the tanks. Adormange ntake the blade in his gut moving so swiftly as for it to advoid all important organs. Grunting his swings his blade toward his foe with one hand while he grasps his foes with his other. Cringing in pain as the blade sears his flesh he only graps it harder. "We 'turn' to malal to strengthen our forces and to destroy our mutual enemies than you decide to land on my planet and atack us! you wish us to be like Lion El'johnson, the traitor? you say we turned on YOU! I see it much diffrent! if you plan to have us as alies than why come to out home planet and atack us? for that you and your men shall pay the price." Aloura call out.

OOC He is a being who can transcend time and space. Now if you have STC shields you should tell someone otherwise they can't stop a being with such capabilities. Also STC shields are only creatable under the Temporal Accord of which I signed and as far as I'm aware you haven't. He doesn't teleport like a being who exists on the Materium plane naturally that uses technology. Rather he exists in Limbo naturally and is a Lower Celestial Power albeit a powerful one. He has the power to do such things like every Ronwe does. I guess it would be in a similar league with a Chaos Gates opening on ships except he shimmers. Which we both know is possible thanks to Firewarrior even though the shields were up on the vessel Chaos could still open up gates on both the Imperial and Tau vessels.

OOC Normally you would be correct however you forget about the gene-seed stores on Mars that the Imperium recovered which the Wulfen strain could be extracted from. Oh and from now on I will be using God-Emperor since it's back.

IC
The massive blade cut the tanks in two rendering them useless as they detonated in flame and metal killing two Marines. The Emperor walked towrds the Aluora with a psychic shield surrounding him. He then spoke, "The Lion never betrayed me. It was never proven but was only speculation by the Fallen." The Emperor turned towards the battling warriors and he called, "Stand down warriors of the Imperium. No more blood shall be shed. Do you not see we fight amongst ourselves let not another great heresy happen. Aluora is right we went about this all wrong we both did." Then gathering up his warriors in a psychic dome he created a barrier around them. Turning to Aluora he said, "Let us stop this bickering and become friends again." With this being said the Emperor dropped his shield and offered a gauntleted hand to Aluora saying, "Let us renew our friendship. And together let us reclaim the Imperium and fight the Four Gods Chaos."

Looking at what was going on she calls her men to a halt. All of them take a step back and pull out their bolters. "Leave now, the likes of you are no longer welcome here. if you do not abide by our requests than we will be forces to kill you, all of you." Aloura statesas she glares and summons a Daemonic window showing the many of the entrapped daemons of malan, "leave before they make you."

An Interphaser begins flashing as the Emperor operates it with his psychic power and portal opens up through which he sent his soldiers. When the portal closed he turned to Aluora holstering bolter and sword saying, "Aluora reason must be met. Why do you do this? We are allies and friends would you forget that so easily. And before you speak of fallen brethern think. They were originally born of my flesh as was every Space Marine here no matter how you look at it. They and you are more my children as much as they are your own brethern. It pained me to Crusade against my own children in the Horus Heresy. It equally pained me this day as I had to fight against my own kin. I will not slaughter anymore of my kin than necessary to this you must understand! Already I must slay those that fell to the Four Gods do not make me fight you as well." He stepped forward again and offered a gauntleted hand in friendship.

Mercer appeared by the Emperor's side with all weapons quartered, "The Emperor may not shed more blood this day but I will slay every one of those daemons that dare come near the Emperor. Of this you can be sure. Eternal I Am and Eternally I Endure."

Laughing Aloura smirks at the Emperor and Mercer, "What the dynamic duo, wingged pansy and his soul consuming slave driver. It would be in your best intrests to leave the planet now before it becomes impossiable for you to, yes even you john and your 'teleporting' with the storm thats brewing on reken's horizion you would be trapped for who knows how long from your people." Aloura pauses as a old dratherian drop ship lands by them, " Here take this wreck, You have my word that it will bring you safely to your ships orbiting my planet. yes i have felt their presence long before you had even thought of landing on this forsaken place. Once you are aboard you will have one hour to depart or my fleet will open fire."

Mercer laughed saying, "Trap me? Here? That is preposterous to contain a Ronwe would take the power of a Creator. No mere Outcast God or his Warp Storms can bind my powers. It is my job to keep your 'God' from interfereing do you think that I could do my job if he bound me. Why do you hate us so Aluora?"

The Emperor turned back and scolded Mercer saying, "That may very well be but now is not the time for a show of power. We must try to make peace." He then turned to Aluora offering his hand once more.

"Leave now or feel the true power of Malal." Aloura states, gripping her trigger a bit tighter.

The Emperor withdrew his hand and smiled saying, "If I leave do you promise to meet me in poltical delegations?"

"Nay and now that you have fallen to chaos you have infuriated my god more and you shall pay for that.
