Chapter 1 - The first strike, and the start of a news age!

"Ever since the dawn of mankind we have looked to the stars for the truth, for answers, and even for guidance." The aristocrat sir frank mentioned to his son. Holding his large gut that was perfectly covered by the long royal red trench coat baring a two headed eagle on each of his gold trimmed shoulder guards, underneath was a tight fitting greyish black top with metals and gold chains hanging off of his chest some resting comfortably on his oversized belly. His son looked up at the sky, the shadows of the exotic trees reaching across the path they walked. In the distance you could hear some tussling in the bushes running along the path, whispers that can not be distinguished

"what is that papa?" The little boy quickly got behind frank and clenched to his coat looking at the source of the sound.

"calm down son I'm sure it was just one of your imported animals!" The two walked over and pushed the bush aside shocked by what frank saw he stumbled backwards falling onto his bottom. Well frank fell the guard escorting them ran over to see what was wrong. Well franks son peak in to see what startled his dad.

"is that a child? It looks dead!" He laughed at the revealing ribs and lifeless eyes of the child. Quickly a large metallic hand pulled the boy back away from the side of the path.

frank got up quickly padding the dust off of his pants and looked at the guards. "Is there any bomb? Or" the guard stood about twice the size of frank in a full metal juggernaut suit, using his metallic hands he gently picked up the baby and examined his body slowly turning around.

"sir, the baby is safe. What are you orders." Said the guard

Frank replied "take him away!" He shot out quickly not paying much attention to his condition, when his son ran up to the much larger man and asked.

"can I see him, ohhh can I hold him?" The boy asked excited to see an infant. Hesitating the guard slowly handed the small boy the infant. As the boy turn to face his father, his excitement was overwhelmed with worry.

"Tommathy put that thing down! Now!" Frank demanded as his son walked over to him.

"but, father he's cold! I think he might be dying!" Tommathy held the infant up so his dad could get a good look.

frank dismissing his sons plead "it's below us to help trash now leave it for the gardeners to clean up" stated frank his son quickly replied.

"can't I at least bring him home for medical attention he will die if we leave him! Please" tommathy's eyes where tearing up and his arms and hands shock at the thought of abandoning the baby.

"alright fine! But if your arms get tired don't expect me to carry that thing for you!" Frank smirked looking at his son face now full of joy and happiness he hadn't seen since tommathy mom passed away.

during the walk home the air was filled with tommathy explaining everything to the infant every tree and how it got there. Nearly half way home Tommathy stopped and pointed at the tree pretty close to them, in it he pointed out a red back squirrel "ohhh look there" tommathy said out loud "it a creature from terra the home world a nearly extinct animal from nearly forty thousand years ago we got about 100 impor-......." Tommathy went silent and tears filled his face the shallow light breathing of the baby had stopped and he turned around to frank. "Father somethings wrong he stopped breathing!" Tommathy panicked filled voice shouted unable to control his emotions. "Father do something!" Demanded the young boy suddenly frank shock his head the moment of happiness was shattered and a deep worry swelled in franks stomach.

"quickly pass the boy here son!" Frank asked concern in his voice. Tommathy complied quickly handing the boy to frank. "Don't worry I'll get the best doctors on the planet to save him!" Frank said with a smile and sighing as tommathys face relaxed after hearing those words. Nodding towards the guard and shortly after a small personal transport crusher landed on the path in front of them. The crusher had a gold trim and had the same two headed eagle that where on his shoulder guards was also plastered across both sides on the crusher. Lowering the loading ramp so both Frank and tommathy can make it home.

after a few minutes of flying and over the horizon the tip of franks castle was beginning to show it self. Standing taller then anything else around the massive structure and with hundreds of bridges spanning around the massive spire to other locations in the city surrounding the palace, thousands to hundreds of thousands of ships flew into the hundreds,of bays across the castle to unload goods and resupply. this palace was the heart of the city and throw its influence Frank has expanded his power by removing other princes and rulers from power. Franks power was now easily able to control and manipulate far greater then the inquisition last allotted him to. For every inch of land claimed by frank he had to make a new enemy.

after a minute or so, the ship lands in the private bay for frank, and as soon as the loading ramp was lowered a skinny man with robotic limbs and wheels for lags rolled up the ramp and laughed. "Ahhh, so this is the infant pass him here lord so I may help him!" The man was delighted to see such a challenge.

frank remarked as he handed the boy over, passion filled he eyes, "that boy better live for your life is now tied to his!" Angrily frank passed the boy gently to him but stormed out of the hanger not wanting anyone to see him in this emotional position. Frank made his way to his personal chambers and shut the door behind him. Thoughts and paranoia ran throw franks head. {continue} The panic in his head is shattered with the emergency alarm as it blares across the castle. Frank sighs in relief as the alarms echo down the hall. Frank quickly gathers him self and processed to open the door. Another surprise was waiting for him as his royal guard was in combat right outside of his personal quarters assassins moving to kill him, screams and bolter shots consumed the room, but the would be assailants underestimated franks unquenchable thrust for combat, for glory and for blood. He didn't even give a second thought at the sigh of his person servants being butchered chunks of them left all the walls soaked but there red blood blended perfectly into the royal red rug and walls

the assailants quickly noticed there target approaching them with no fear, and the assassins body where modified to be perfect killing machines weapons/guns hidden in there forearm started to unload all there rounds into frank. What would normally be a kill shot was blocked by and invisible force frank continued to move towards the men attacking him, paying no attention to the fire arms he slowly pulled his sword free from the sheath the sound of power crackled across the blue energy covered edge holding it horizontally across his body he stopped letting the assassins get there fill of firing at his shield. With a feral smile across franks face he shouted at the assailant. "Come at me attack your assassination was doomed to fail when your target was me!"

he laughed loud as the sound of metallic bones where be severed by a chain-sword franks royal guard cut down two of the assassins as they got to distracted trying to kill there target to defend them selfs. The three left over assailants hands fell off to reveal a hidden power blade crackling with the same energy as the power sword held by frank. "Oh I know who sent you! Come to me so I can kill you with my own hands!"

tingles and excitement shoot throw to franks head. The leader of the assassins Raised his power sword to match Frank. moments after, the loud hiss of two power-swords colliding overpowered the sounds of franks guards ripping apart the last two assailants. Frank pushed his weight onto the sword well the leader countered by backing up. laughing frank reminded the assassin leader. "You know you don't have time for this battle cause as soon as my guards are done tearing your friends apart they will kill you for me!" Pretending to lower his guard frank prepare for a counter well desperation started to creep into the assassins head he knew his opportunity for the kill was quickly leaving. So in an act of desperation the assassins ignighting small explosives on his feet the assassin flew at frank. Deflecting the assassin power sword with his own, and in the next moment he re aligned his sword horizontally. as the guards turn around from dealing with there targets the guards looked at frank, blood and oil sprayed freely from the assassins as he was sliced in two both halves of the assassin where several feet behind frank.

"oh did you think it would be that easy to kill a prince! Hahaha there blood will only be the beginning of your payment for this action Guarant!" Frank looked at his guards. "Good work now go check on my son and take him to the a secure location and await for my orders!" All Frank could smell was rotten eggs as he walked by the guard with the sword impaled throw him and a soft sound of metal melting, Frank move on to the war room after frank was out of sight both guards proceeded to move to the chambers where the young boy tommathy was resting. Proceeding down the royal hallway the lights flickering well the guards made haste, blood coated almost everything as the assassins slathered there way though.

"Keep watch out Brother paythion I'm moving throw cover my back there might be more waiting!" One guard ordered the one named paythion. Quickly the commanding guard runs down the pathway paying key attention to any spot someone or something could hide, Unaware of what is lurking underneath the commander another assassin was waiting like a mine, all the commanding guard heard was a loud hiss of energy. he felt a sharp inconvenience penetrate throw his heavily armoured foot. Coming to a stop immediately to prevent any further damage to his foot every inch move would easily cut more. A deep dark feeling could be felt emanating from his commander he knew something was wrong .

"Brother mistral, what did you find?" The guard asked as he noticed{continue} mistral raise his thick power crackling gauntlet into the air and with lighting fast precision mistral force his fist throw the ground underneath him crushing his assailants head, and the force of the hit caused very visible structural damage to the surrounding walls well the floor failed completely falling out from underneath mistral, both mistral and the lifeless body of the stealthy assassin fell to the floor underneath. Dust and rubble act as a shroud hiding mistral from at least fifty or even more assassins in the middle of combat with the lowly basic castle guard. The roar of a chain sword cutting into augmented bones and the corespondent screams from uncompleted assassin units soon over took the chattering of both sides.

"everyone pull together there's a new threat quick take out it's eyes!" as an assassin tried to organize his trooper against the massive metal monstrosity that just landed on the back row of assassins after a mer moment Mistral realized how ideal breaking throw the ground was for the castles defences with the main attack force of this would be assassination trying to take out the anti- heavy defences just beyond this this hallway, thinking to him self, when suddenly laser fire discharged directly into him. Swords crackle with power as the infamous scratch of body parts being severed by a chain-sword echo throw the dust cloud.

as mistral walks forwards his armour easily absorbing both enemy and friendly fire indiscriminately and in a commanding voice that easily overpowered the sounds of screaming and chaos. "I'm the Adeptus Astartes! Put down your weapons and surrender this is your only warning! There is nothing anyone here can do to stop my progress, and to get in the adeptus way is forfeiting your miserable lives!" But even with mistral most generous offer the modified arms of the surrounding assassins tested there metal against the best humanity has to throw at there enemy. Soon there rage and blood lust was overtaken in complete helplessness against the massive foe in front of them, mistral movement was quick and he didn't wait for his enemy's to make the first move his rage overwhelming as they deny him with silence, a backhand to the head of the impudent assassin who had the nerve to speak against his was claimed and his corps was sent throw the closest pillar causing it to collapse. Well his other arm forced and guided his chain sword directly down the middle of the next closest breathing soul in moments. Rushing the metal man assassins try to surround mistral but the suppressing laser fire from the other guards made it impossible cause they would get shot to pieces when they weren't using mistral as cover. Well mistral made sure anyone who tried firing back at his comrades were met with a quick and gruesome end. Three such assassins moved to provide cover fire well there comrades attacked mistral, in unison they tried to cut the eyes visors of mistral but the first one jumped at mistral but was caught out of the air by his head and with a simple flex the assassins head popped smushing it. Blood and gore coat mistral armoured fingers and gears then with a quick toss he whipped the body into the next incoming assassins, with such force the body split mistral target in half sending both of them flying into the third which also launched him off of his feet with a great enough force to crush the third target into a fine paste against the closest wall, the assassins on his right side faired a bit better, as he sliced throw a couple of assassins trying to get a clean hit on him the captain of them managed to move around to the side dodging the rebound slice but as his power sword collided with the metal of the adeptus a loud energy bolt could be heard and seen emanating from the hit, but since the attack landed on his shoulder the thickest and most protected part of this model the blade sunk into the shoulder pad of mistral welding the sword into the armour and in that moment the captain was slain the chain sword collided with his chest mid air as the chains rotated and cut into him he felt the power behind such a weapon and with the force of the hit cut throw him easily well sending him flying back to be pulverized on the closest steel wall.

"keep attacking we are going to get throw his armo--" this assassins fate was quick mistral throw his sword right into his temple silencing him well simultaneously churching another assassin mechanical skull with the bloody gauntlet and in the same fashion made the throwing motions at his closest comrades cause them to split where he telegraphed he would throw it but in reality his plan was far more sinister still holding onto the flesh of the skull mistral spun around collided the lifeless body into the assassins providing there comrades with cover fire. Extreme precision was use as the assassins providing cover fire where crushed under the force and weight of there comrades body being used as a mace. Mistral looked back at the incoming assassins with a smile hidden underneath his helmet. Raising his hand into combat position before continuing his pass forwards the sword stuck in his shoulder pad was kinda restrictive however you would not be-able to tell. Mistral attack dashing forwards to the closest assailant and with a quick jab mistral fist smashed sending his target rolling backwards killing the target. Moving forward with a step mistral planted an uppercut on the next targets chest sending him colliding with the roof, the assassins body was not heavy or strong enough to go throw the roof unlike mistrals fist was and so his body was crushed against the roof now hanging there mistral continued his attack not needing more then a single attack to end the life of his next target and still seeing red from there lack of surrender.

"there fire has halted prepare the cannon it's time to make this hall un-passable!" Shouted the commanding guardsman standing in front of the thick blast doors. Assassins surrounded mistral giving up in even moving forward and stayed out of mistral range. Getting even more annoyed but not wanting to extend more energy he needed mistral continued his attack stomping his next target into the ground and at the same time catching two more assassins in his death grip he throw them colliding and killing two more. "Lord mistral of the adeptus the cannons almost operational!"

looking back at the commander of the guard not noticing one of the assassins wasn't dead missing an arm, the assassin manage to land a sneak attack. a loud crackling and explosion could be heard as the energy blade collided with mistral knee brace, cutting deep into his armour, the assassin was overtaken with joy "this is it His lags mine!" The assailant thought as he try driving his weapon right throw trying to cut his lag right off. With increasing difficulty the assassin cut into his skin muscles and tendinitides However his blade made a rather quick stop as it collided with his bones, letting go of the blade he looked up in complete shock the dust around him settling well the behemoth he tried to end stood in front of him his full attention on the assassin well the mutilated corpse of his comrades his friends scattered the ground ceiling and walls around them. Covered in his comrades blood and oil and In complete defeat the assassin falls to his own knees and looks up at the death incoming.

"mission failed. My captain my Team has been completely whipped out." The assassin said in awe. Closing his eyes he waited for the end. Mistral looked down at his completely defeated foe and around at the completely demolished corpse around him, disappointed in his own actions he mumbled to himself as he tore the head off of the assassin try to no cause any additional damage.

"I went to overboard I can't believe I lost my composure like that we can't get any info off of these destroyed units." Pausing for a moment then looking back at the completely defeated unit head it's body nearly huddling in the corner. "Ah but we only need one intact isn't that right assassin, now tell me where did your evorsor run off to he's leading this mission and I know this is the distraction!" Mistral felt like something was watching him as he thought to him self. Quickly he moved his head to the origins of the feeling a sigh of relief when all he saw was a closed vent. Shacking off his feeling mistral looked back at the guards men and waved him over. The captain of the guards me Running down with two of his men he saluted to him.

"yes, lord mistral my names Charles what are my orders?" Mistral passed back and forth thinking

"Secure these body's for the info extract, I'm under direct orders to find the young prince tommathy which way to his corridors from here?" Mistral asked.

the commander was curious "well there's nothing to worry about the a full unit of adeptus just showed un in a rhino they are heading towards the princes room right now. We are tracking there progress on the security cam."

"show me now" mistral demanded as panic started to set in a little. "There is only two members of the adeptus under franks command right now." Understanding what the lord was saying he quickly ran and opened the huge blast doors. Inside was a room full of computer monitors having something that looks like a person in the centre of the room hundreds of metal arms moved and pressed on buttons. Mistral walked up to the mass of metal and flesh. "Present my fellow brother!" Mistral demanded and as soon as he did a screen slide down from the roof In front of him, armed with bolters the ten heavy armoured soldier moved down the hall right towards there target. "As I feared there an attack squad and there not moving here to protect the prince that means there hear to end him. Show me the best path to take so I can get to the medical room where the boy we fond to day is being treated." With out any delay a path was shown to him on the other side of the castle and below ground level. "Excellent they will be coming here next so get ready for a real fight lock down both floors we don't need them coming throw the roof, the hall is heavy armoured now that the laser cannon is powered up and ready to fire. Commander hold this room for as long as you can and may the emporium be with you!"

"and with you!" He said with a salute. At the end of the hall mistral meet back up with brother paythion and with a quick briefing they both ran off. As both members of the adeptus were making there way towards the medical bay paythion stopped.

"wait brother paythion" both come to a stop and look around at the slaughter, dozens of dismembered and mutilated servants where scattered across the ground, walls and roofs severed hands still clenched onto the power tool they specialize. "Why are so many servants here? What were they doing before that died?" Mistral asked paythion. paythion felt eyes on his back and quickly turned around to find nothing but shadows. After he examined the body's closely noticing the rips and stretch marks all over each victim.

"Hmmm, I can't even begin to speculate what did this. However if I was to make a guess it looks like a crew of daemons got to them. With these wounds and this many body's could have been a whole squad of lesser daemons or maybe even a greater daemon and if so we have a serious problem." After they move deeper in the direction that the boys. "Quick mistral let continue moving I seen something moving towards the med bay it could be the evorsor"

Mistral gets up and looks down the hall and the same feeling he got before was emitting from the path they where on. "Your right paythion these souls departed like a minute or two ago we might beable to caught him." Both men started to sprint at full speed down the corridors there metal boots leaving feet prints in the steel flooring as they run.

at the tank post where mistral and paythion left from was soon visited by the adepts squad. As soon as a member of the adepts squad took a step around the corner the guards men unleashed the lazer cannon on him. The beam directly hit him in the helmet. the attack landed on the bottom of his chin. The light quickly envelope his head.The blast quickly ripped throw his ceramite plates protecting his head. After feeling the blast burn into his face hes arm rose lifting the .75 calibre assault machine gun, and moments after the bright muzzle fire launched burning metal down the blood covered hall and with extreme accuracy, each guardsmen were blown apart by a full clip of 30 rounds. Flooding into the hall after the laser fired and hearing the discharge of a bolter. the squad looks around and see the gore all over this hallway. Closest to them is the bodys of most of the assassins they sent in before to weaken the defences, then at the end of the hall are the fallen guards there corpses and blood now stained the area they where guarding. The squad leader turns around and falls to his one knee blood starts to flow onto the ground bursting its way Out of the cartelized wounds. steam was still Rising from his head. The apothecary of the squad quickly moves to the captain noticing that the bottom half of his jaw was vaporized with his neck being heavily damaged by the blast, chunks of flesh bone and muscles dangled from the sides of his face and rain down to his collar bone leaving huge chunks of his collarbone exposed, and one eye has been burn out the other looking furious. the apothecary pulled out a tool with almost any item he would need to repair an adepts on the field. jabbed a metal syringe into his bleeding arteries to cause them to close up and stop gushing blood, well he was reconnecting the arteries with specialized piping the apothecary looked over at a squad member

"Brother grarty you are now acting captain! Proceed with your mission!"

Then continued to operate on the captain.

"roger that brother Willis! Let's move we need brother Japen, and philliphy on that door! Brother drevern Check what killed our assassins and the rest of you stand guard! I don't want any more surprises!" commanded his troopers well looking around grarty felt a pair of eyes watching him from a vent in the corner of the room.

drevern look at the body's smeared across the walls floors then looked up at the missing roof where several more bodys where dangling from the roof above the floor there on. Chuckling a bit as he concludes his investigation. "Brother grarty these assassins where killed by another adepts. Almost all of these body's where crushed or killed on impact. These body's over on this side of the hall have been carved up by a chain sword, plus not much can destroy a whole floor above us."

Japen and philliphy quickly made there way past all the carnage, the body's of the guards men was indistinguishable from one another in the gigantic door was several large holes from where the bolter fire managed to punch throw.

japen and philliphy position them selfs on ether side of the door there gauntlet covered digits digging into the seal along the bottom, as there fingers effortless slide down the door then dug into the thick metal, making them selfs a handle. looking at each other and on a three count they lifted up the door. Hearing gears, and hinges buckle and snap under the pressure of the two adepts put on the closing mechanism well lifting the door up slowly. Soon ear piercing snap was Heard and the door slide up philliphy moved his way to the centre of the door and propped it open with his body resting the door on his shoulder.

grarty moves into the room, the mass of machine and muscle in the middle of the room was struck and killed by bolter fire leaving his serves unavailable. The room was completely offline now, and with no luck on finding prince grarty walks back out of the room and goes over to the captain and apothecary. "Apothecary there is a cyborg in there you can harvest some items to help with the repairs." Quickly the apothecary ran into the room and started to cut up the massive corps pulling out its throat and other things needed. "Sir this was caused by adepts and I'm pretty sure they are heading towards our target now." The captain blood circulation was now restored and he was responsive, but couldn't breath looking at grarty he nods and slowly stands up. The top half of his helmet was still intact and operationally. Quickly recalibrating the sensors so he could detect power armour. After the calibrations where completed he walked over to the laze cannon and yanked it off the stand holding the massive gun up, then after he yanked out a little wire from his wrist and jerry rigged the laze cannon to operate from the power of his armour. After letting the cannon charge for a minute. he started to fire downwards towards Mistral and paythion creating a shortcut by going there directly. As each shot fires and rips throw the doors walls and floors laying in the way to mistral and paythion location the laze cannon grew brighter and brighter easily punching throw even more walls.

mistral and paythion fallow the path of dead servants and burnt flesh towards the medical bay, they were surprised to see all these servants gathered in a single private hall, soon the body's of servants started to appear more mutated some with extra arms that look almost insect like or where much bigger then an ordinary human some approaching the size of adepts and more body's piled up, even the body's of guards men got mixed into the carnage. As they got closer to the med bay the sounds of screams and laser fire grew louder. Paythion and mistral suddenly stopped behind a horde of servants, as they flood against an imperial guard post cutting off the hall way to the medial bay, the sound of laser fire and screams.
