The ethereals that left the room type in a specific code, the door slowly cranks open to a flight of stairs that lead into a bunker.
Grimlark's warp twisted helmets eyes glow white and a giant warp storm appears over the city, dark lightning strikes over the war torn landscape and Tau forces rush away from the dark cloud that pulses with warp energies.
Scythrax, who is now able to fight, gets up onto his feet, his daemon pattern greaves scratch the walls and he charges towards the two remaining ethereals, he slashes into one tearing it to shreds as the soulthrister is pleased to have an ethereal soul, the master ethereal is picked up by Scythrax's unarmed hand and Scythrax stares into the ethereals panicking eyes, he says "so slow and painful or long and torturous huh?".
Now the mecanical beast stands face to face with the spire and it grasps the walls with one giant pincer.
The spider like legs pierce the building and thus the creature climbs up the spire breaking its stability every inch it moves.
The bunker passage way leads to a large room with a giant cannon inside it, the ethereals both look to eachother for confirmation.
The master ethereal squirms and demands he is put down, Scythrax gets frustrated at how weak the master is but when Scythrax was pinned he acted so tough, Scythrax reached over and got scorch scream, with one bullet of hot seeping plasma the ethereal fell lifeless onto the bloodsoaked floor.
Shudder...Shudder...Bang, the spire shakes vigorously and both lord and sorceror move onto a balcony to see what is happening.
A large red button sat on a set of panels in the edge of the room, the ethereals press this in unison and the cannon begins to elevate upwards.
"The beast is clinging onto the spire and ripping it apart" Grimlark shouted, Scythrax had a feeling this was going to happen, the beast was no monster, it was upgrades inserted onto... Drizgar.
Drizgars defiler parts shattered Tau platting and ripped out the wires that holds the spires force fields, Drizgars eyes glow red with rage and he bellows "Fear me I am Drizgar master of engines!" Drizgar had combined himself with the defilers legs and used a pincer like a claw in the way an ork would use their power claw.
As the spires head opens up a massive laser appears out of it, everyone stares at it and knows this is their bane.
