There was a white, pearly fog rising over the battlefield. Pieces of wreckage was littered everywhere. Dead bodies of space marines and orks alike. As captain Odin strode through the battlefield with his Idomitus pattern terminator armour-clad marines, he thought to himself 'we were too late, by the looks of things.' "Search the wreckage for survivors!" He ordered. Odin was an average-sized, brown-haired, blue-eyed space marine with four golden studs above his left eyebrow.

"Captain! We have found the remains of twenty battle-brothers. By the looks of things, they weren't killed by any weapon we can identify." Reported one of the terminators. "Apothecary, extract the gene seed of our fallen brethren." Ordered Odin. The apothecary, Zoyla, went about extracting the gene-seed of the dead space marines.

Suddenly, a piece of rubble started to move. The terminators fixed their storm bolter sights on it. "Identify yourself!" Said one of the terminators. It was a space marine who had survived. He had no left arm and his armour was pierced with crude axes and spears. "Brother Hiakwa, Sixth company marine. Assigned to captain Keli." Reported the marine. "Brother, what happened?" Asked Apothecary Zoyla. "The damn greenskins are getting smarter, they used a weapon that could...' but Hiakwa never finished his sentence, because at that moment, an ork had come pelting around a corner and hurled it's axe at Hiakwa hitting him full on in the face and severing his head from his body. 'Kill the greenskin!' Roared Odin but the damage was done.

The terminators continued their search for the remaining survivors but there weren't any left. "Sir! We have the body of the company standard bearer." Reported one of the terminators. Then several things happened at once. Three terminator veterans started coughing and spluttering and then fell to the ground, quite dead. Hundreds of missiles appeared in the sky and an ork ship, the Mitee Boma entered they system and started to bomb the planet from orbit.

It had appeared that the terminators had died from some white pearly fog that the terminators had noticed and had presumed was steam from the nearby river which had been pulverised. "Commander! Get us out of here!" Screamed Odin into his vox channel to the imperial ships that were in orbit battling with the ork fleet that had appeared after Mitee Boma entered the system. "Captain, we are sending your teleportation coordinates as we speak. We will try to hold off the ork fleet as long as ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH...!" " Commander! Commander, come in!" Odin was saying desperately into the vox channel that had now been severed.

The imperial battle barge, the Fear, was getting boarded by orks. The commander, Huji, was holding them off with the rest of the crew who were alive. "Brother Captain! We are getting reports that a Tau battle force is approaching the system, it looks as of they are prepared to take on the Emperor's finest.' Reported brother-sergeant Forlixia. "Sir! We are getting reports from local Astra Milatarum shock trooper squads that necrons are appearing from catacombs!" Roared a marine.

The first company terminators had teleported to the shock trooper squads beacon to assists them. "For the Emperor!" Cried Odin as he charged into battle wielding his giant thunder hammer, Daemon Bane, and his storm shield. The necrons mercilessly gunned down multiple shock troops and a terminator. "Kill it in the name of the Emperor!" A shock trooper sergeant with a chainsword and las pistol yelled. The remaining shock troopers formed firing lines and the lead commissar yelled "FIRE!"

The necrons were instantly lit up with las gun fire. Odin and the nearest squad of terminators charged the necron lord. The shock trooper commissar encouraged the troops to provide covering fire for the terminators. "ARRRRGGGHHHH!" Grunted a terminator as he fell to the necron lords staff. Pierced through the middle, the terminator focused his remaining strength into shooting the necron lord in the chest with his storm bolter.

The necron lord looked down at his ruined chest plate and phased out of reality to repair himself. "COWARD!" Screamed Odin at the place where the necron lord had been. The necron lord phased back into reality and charged Odin and his terminators. Unable to control himself, Odin threw himself at the charging necron lord and swung Daemon Bane down onto its head. He crushed the necron into shards of metal.

He then grabbed a storm bolter from a fallen terminator and then blasted the remains into oblivion. "My lord, that was unbelievable!" Said a shock trooper as he knelt before Odin. He was a giant compared to the mortal man. "If I may ask, how did you do it?" The trooper asked. "The Emperor protects, trooper. Your faith in him shall not waver or this xeno filth will destroy humanity." Odin replied. "Yes, my lord." "Captain Odin, are you there?" Voxed Commander Huji. "Yes, commander. I still live. I thought you were dead." Replied Odin.
