Apocalypse (Game Thread : Closed, Dead)

[Anti-American Eagle]

Vymazat
The child recoiled in horror and attempted to get out of the Eversor's grip.
He stopped struggling as he realized he was stuck.
Sniffling he spoke "Why'd they have to do this? Why'd they take you? Why couldn't it've been someone else."
The child disappeared after that and the eversor would find himself once again swimming in the lake of blood.

Urd simply side stepped 'Dante's' lunge "Slash, Trust, Slash, Slash, Trust" she said as it wheeled around and attacked her, her tone condescending as she deflected it's attacks with her own blade "Very good, you know the basics, now then, how is your blocking?" Then went on the attack, how ever, even if he was mimicking Dante's physical ability and wasn't all torn up, the creature would still at a disadvantage. Urd's strength and speed out classed it by a long ways, not to mention she was just a plain better fighter.

In short order she'd, disarmed him, taken his weapon, broke one arm, cut the other off, stabbed in several times in the head and neck before just burying his knife in his head from under the chin and cutting the head off and tossing it a side. "Class is now over"

 

[Athol]

Lith

"Please, don't hurt me. Please, you- come and See."

"Nice try, ****." She growled; fists up, still waiting for an attack. "S'not her...I'll admit you got me once with that, but once was all you get..." As soon as she stopped speaking, Lith quietly changed position, no sense in letting whatever it was know too much. C'mon love, I could use a way out.

[hr]

Egerion

"I think it's my best work yet. What do you think?"

Egerion stood silently beside the Guardsman for a moment; no trace of what he was thinking crossed his face, a statue of flesh and blood. Then, in a flash a hand shot out, the first two fingers and the thumb encircling the Guardsman's neck; the fingers flexed with only a fraction of their strength, crushing the smaller man's throat, and snapping his spine. Egerion let go as the corpse fell like a puppet without its strings.

Stepping forward, he placed a hand on the gruesome painting, directly over the image of the Emperor. "I am sorry my Lord." He said closing his eyes. "You raised me from the ashes of Terra, gave me purpose, gave me strength, gave me Brother, showed me wisdom, and showed me compassion; but in your time of greatest need I was not there. If I had not slept, perhaps I could have swayed him..."

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and looked at the image of Horus. "YOU!" He spat, anger flaring in his eyes. "You were the best of us, His favoured son, and you betrayed us all." His hand came off the image of the Emperor, and balled into a massive fist. "I was there before you and your Brothers were snatched away, I saw the pride in His eyes when He first saw you all; and I saw that same pride again when the Crusade found you." As he spoke, his fist slammed into Horus, to the sound of splintering wood.

"I was so proud to stand beside you two in battle. To call YOU, the favoured son of the Emperor, my Primarch was an honour like no other. As good as I was you were better, and we...your sons...loved you for it. I gave my life for you, and how do you replay such devotion and loyalty? You betray your sons, and lead them to ruination and death, you kill your own father for your own petty wants, and you leave the Imperium the fetid, stinking mass that in is today. If I knew then what I know now, I would have killed you as a child."

The entire 'painting' was now nothing but a few scraps surrounding a splintered hole in the wall. Blood dripping from split knuckles, Egerion continued off down the hall.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

As Dante came closer to the bodies, their bone white armour and shapely form confirmed to him that these were Eldar in body, each with a pool of blood underneath them. Examining one of the female Eldar more closely, noticing a large abdominal wound on it's right hand side, the body began to twitch which made Dante step back and immediately draw the Singing Spear in a defensive manner.

The right hand of the female began moving towards a nearby Witch Blade, whilst the head moved ever so slightly, allowing Dante to see the face. What shocked him was that it was the face of Farseer Minal, the one for whom the Singing Spear which he now carried originally belonged to. It was then that a raspy, and rather weak sounding voice spoke. "Please, stay back."

Dante gently took a step back, meanwhile he used the spear to push the Witch Blade away from the 'False Minal', suspecting that she might use it to attack.

"And you stay away from me trickster spirit."

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Momaru
As the statues around him began to crumble a door formed on a distant wall.

Urd
The body began to turn to ash as the final blow was struck. A violent screaming could be heard in the distance as a wall of light formed, it seemed to be the source and seemed to be moving towards her.

Lith
"Please... well this isn't going to work."
A figure could be seen stepping from the mist, it seemed blinding for a moment before its shape became clear.
It looked like a naked Solara, but its hands were large purple crab claws and had a pair of grey bat-like wings on its back.
The voice was much more distorted this time "Please Honey."

Egerion
A being of golden light began walking towards the Astartes from infront.
It spoke with a voice sounding akin to the choir he had heard before passing out "I have been told to bring you back."

Dante
"Please, not trickster. You need to leave, it has us, it has us all, it'll come for you and me, come to finish us off."
A shrill scream could be heard in the distance.
"It's coming, It's watching, It wants our souls."
She stopped and sounded more desperate.
"Please, kick my blade over and run."

 

[Outcast107]

Once Vym got a good look at the child something click within his head. The insane voices were slowly going away as the child and island disappears. Landing him within the bloody water as he slowly reflects on what happen. Sinking away within the lake as he rage within his head, the only voice yelling. His memories slowly coming back to him as he remembers losing his family, being taken by men to be train as a Eversor. He rage and scream out within the lake as he try to will himself to not remember the pain and suffering he endure.

He so badly wanted to go back to the way it was when he was insane. Not wanting to deal with this as he swam back to the top. Yelling at the top of his lungs at the sky. Raving not in pure delight of a insane madman, but a broken man who remember everything done to him.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Please, not trickster. You need to leave, it has us, it has us all, it'll come for you and me, come to finish us off." Spoke the 'False Minal', her voice sounding like it had a bit more strength to it. Then all of a sudden, a high-pitched scream could be heard in the distance, and with it Dante could feel something akin to a daemonic presence getting near. "It's coming, It's watching, It wants our souls." Her voice was now sounding desperate. "Please, kick my blade over and run."

Dante thought his decision through for a few seconds, pondering over whether or not to trust the Eldar. What if this scream was coming from the 'False Minal'? he wondered. As he thought, the screaming was getting louder, enough that he was getting a headache. Finally, he made his choice. Whilst he knew this couldn't be taking place in reality, perhaps aiding the Eldar would help in him finding a way back.

With a gentle hand, he picked up the Witch Blade, feeling it's psychic presence within him and placed within the 'False Minal's hand.

"I hope I am doing the right thing by doing this. And if so, may you find peace within the Infinity Circuit." Dante then began to slowly back away, his spear still in a defensive pose as a pre-caution.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Dante
"Run."
The eldar placed the blade infront of her neck and proceeded to slit her throat using it.
As she died a light shot from her body into the sky.
A scream emanated from about ten feet away as a daemonette covered in twisting black tendrils walked from the trees.

 

[Athol]

Lith

"Please... well this isn't going to work."

Lith took a few steps back, raising a hand to shield her eyes, as a figure entered. When the light faded, she was not happy with what she saw. The sight of some warp-damned abomination masquerading as her love just pissed her off. Logically she knew a Deamonette could kill her it an instant, it was far faster and stronger than her, and she was naked and unarmed...but if she was going to die, it would be fighting.

"So the Whore God has sent one of his fuck toys to play messenger." She said coolly, never dropping her guard. "And just what does King **** have to say?"

[hr]

Egerion

As soon as he saw the figure, Egerion halted, readying himself for an attack.

"I have been told to bring you back."

"In the name of the Emperor of Mankind; Sovereign of the Imperium of Man, Father, Guardian, and Protector of his race, I order you to halt and identify yourself." He spoke a rumbling basso, and with a tone that expected to be obeyed. What new madness is this?

 

[sage42]

Helena approached the closet door and level her plasma pistol. "Identify yourself, what ever you are." She told whomever was beyond the door. It sounded like Mara. But Helena couldn't take that chance. "Prove to me you are indeed worthy of my help and not a demon of the warp." Her finger went to the trigger. If it was Mara, which she doubted, then she could use the help. If not the Helena would vaporize it here and now and be on her way.

 

[mcpop9]

Momaru watched as all of his brothers turned to dust. "Farewell, you guys deserve your rest. you served the emperor well." he said, then made his way to the door, walking through it once the astartes got to it.

[hr]

Solara looked around and saw the state lith was in. knowing her experience, she leaned forward and pressed her forehead to lith's and formed a mental link with her. Thoughts began to flow through her mind and a purple light came rushing at her. She found herself in a purple tinted hallway.

Upon seeing someone enter a room down the hall, she followed suit, recognizing a twisted version of her own voice and then she heard lith speak.
"And just what does King **** have to say?"

She found some twisted deamonette standing with it's back to her. "This is what king **** has to say: WE GOT A DELIVERY FOR YOU YOU UGLY *****! SIGN HERE!" solara shouted and unloaded a bolter round into the *****'s head with her bolt pistol. The head exploded and covered lith in deamonette guts, then the lifeless corpse fell to the ground. Solara walked in and placed a massive boot on it's ass cheek before unloading the rest of the clip into body.

She looked up and saw lith nude and covered in Deamonette blood. "That's a good look for you. We should try it in the bedroom more often." she said, walking forward and passionately pulling lith into a kiss.

 

[Lunar Templar]

The fake Dante turned to ash, and a scream, accompanied by a wall of light could be heard and seen, with the wall moving closer, unsure of if the wall was harmful or not, she took the 'scientific' approach. She flipped the knife around so she had it by the tip of the blade a threw it at the wall to see what happened.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Vymazat
The blood turned to clear water and the sky turned orange.
Small droplets of rain began to fall onto the lake.
A small sandy island formed in the distance with a short mahogany table in the middle.
On top of the table was a series of syringes.
Half of them contained a golden liquid and the other half contained a dark red liquid.

Egerion
"I have no name, only purpose." It stopped and seemed to fade out for a moment "He wills me to retrieve you from this maze before it consumes you."

Helena
"It's Mara. How would I..." she sniffled and banged her hands against the door. "I woke up out here, the shadows whisper at me. Please let me in!"

Urd
The blade was absorbed by the wall in a short flash of light. As the wall closed in on Urd her skin felt like it was on fire. The wall passed through her and for a moment she was enveloped by it. Surrounded by light and floating. Her flesh feeling like it was being scorched from her bones.

Momaru, Urd, and Titania
The Terminator awakened in the keep, his eyes seeing the images of the five remaining locals and skitarii as well as the charred remains of the ones that didn't survive. Nearby was the Eldar and the Inquisitor. The inquisitor crouched infront of one of her Acolytes. The rest of the group hiding inside were passed out.

Urd awakened in the keep shortly after the terminator, her eyes taking a second to adjust to the darkness. Nearby were Solara and Titania. Solara was crouching infront of Lith. The remaining locals and skitarii became visible as well as the charred remains of the dead. The rest of the group hiding inside were passed out.

 

[Athol]

Lith

One moment she was expecting to die in a vain attempt to fight a Deamonette bare-handed, and the next, she found herself covered in the remains of said Deamonette, and with Solara pressed against her.

"That's a good look for you. We should try it in the bedroom more often."

Well there are something that just can't be faked. She thought as they kissed. After a moment they broke apart and she gave Solara a grimace. "Not funny pipsqueak." She said, wiping some of the mess from her face. "Now if you'd be so kind, I'd like to get the ever loving fuck out of this place...and maybe put some clothes on, it's a little cool here."

[hr]

Egerion

"I have no name, only purpose. He wills me to retrieve you from this maze before it consumes you."

Egerions was still cautious, one must never be complacent when dealing with matters of the Warp. "If you know His will, then you would now His caution." He replied, not changing his stance. "Under which banner did I first serve the Emperor?" There were only three souls in the entire Imperium that still knew that truth.

 

[Lunar Templar]

The knife vanished in a flash of light 'Oh good, this is gonna hurt a lot ...' she thought as the walls of light closed in on and over took her. She hates being right some times. For a short time it felt as though she was being scorched with a fire she had no frame of reference for, it just hurt, a lot, so much so she wasn't able to scream, only gasp as she found her self back in the room she was in when the the shelling started.

She was shaking a bit, to an extend she could still feel that intense burning sensation, though much duller. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, but she was able to see Titania and Solara over Lith, as well as the charred remains of some others. "The hell happened?"

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Solara and Lith
The purple light faded as the daemonette fell. A shrill scream could be heard coming from the body a moment before it melted into the floor.

Egerion
It seemed to grasp its head before speaking "That of the bolt, brother."

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Run." Spoke the 'False Minal' before she placed the blade in front of her neck and proceeded to slit her throat. Upon the moment of her suicide, a beam of golden light shot from her body and into the sky, seemingly going on for eternity. The spectacle of which actually knocked Dante down and caused him to tumble down the hill. As he picked himself back up, Dante endured another ear piercing scream, whilst a Daemonette covered in an array of twisting black tendrils began to emerge from the forest.

"Well, good thing I got out of there when I did, otherwise I would have been a snack for what looks like a very hungry Daemonette, or possibly her plaything for all eternity; but more likely both. Wait a second, this is all still just a dream, but a very real threat. Still, best I kill this thing quickly, and then perhaps examine that light."

Dante snapped his fingers a few times until a bolt of psychic energy began to dance between them. Taking a moment to focus, the bolt getting brighter before flinging it at the bolt. It made contact with the Daemonette causing her to hiss in pain as one of the tentacles fell off and began wriggling back towards the forest.

The Daemonette began to pick up speed, and Dante continued firing bolts, some hit but didn't seem to do anything, whilst others aimlessly sailed past. It was when she got within striking distance that Dante had an idea. He closed his eyes to concentrate as the blade of the spear began to glow with a faint purple tinted light. As the blade shined like a candle amidst a sea of darkness, Dante grabbed both ends of the spear and swung in a wide sweeping motion; and with good timing as well, for the Daemonette was just about to slash him with her pincer like claw.

For a brief second, Dante thought he could see a look of fear in the Daemonette's eyes as her body was cleaved in two, though he didn't get out entirely unscathed, as some of the violet coloured blood had managed to get on his coat. This was met with a small sigh. He proceeded to climb back up the hill and went towards the golden light, taking a moment to examine it.

Not seeing any other options, Dante gently tapped at the light which created a rippling pattern to form.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Dante
The light dissapeared as Dante touched it.
From behind him the previously "dead" "daemonette" grabbed his neck. The wounds appeared to have been bound together by the tendrils. Tendrils were now coming out of its eyes and mouth.

It lifted him up and turned him to see, staring into his eyes. The whispers turned to voices, the voices to screams. It wanted in.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Strange." Was all Dante said when the light disappeared before he felt something grabbing his neck. As he was forcefully turned around and raised into the air slightly, he saw that the Daemonette, which he now realised was something else entirely was pulling itself back together using the tendrils, which were now coming out of it's eyes and mouth. What were once faint whispers now became somewhat audible voices, then they shifted again into screams of hunger. He knew what the abomination wanted, and he wasn't going to let it have it.

"Oh no you don't!" Dante shouted before kicking at the abomination and then repeatedly stabbing it with the Singing Spear, each time though the tentacles appeared to be healing itself.

"Alright, time for Plan B." He managed to say despite the slight crushing that his neck was getting when he managed to pick up the Spear and stabbed it in the head of the abomination and proceeded to shoot it's mouth several times with his Plasma Pistol.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Dante
The creature dropped the psyker and recoiled in pain before the tendrils began to pull its head back together from the fragments. The lower jaw and the teeth of the upper jaw seemed to be completely missing however.
