"Well, actually, maybe I can use you! So no, I won't be killing you. I promise! I am just gonna possess you and use your body! This body of mine is getting old and weak, but you, yours is strong and healthy! Can't you see!? This
is your ULTIMATE DESTINY! WITH YOUR BODY I CAN FINALLY CONQUER THIS WORLD AND KILL THE MONGREL DEITIES THAT SENT YOU HERE TO GET RID OF ME! AS THEY HAD SENT OTHERS TO GET RID OF ME! But do not worry! I will remember your name and appreciate your sacrifice! The denizens of this world shall sing your name once I enslaved everyone! It will be gloriou-" *BOOM!* I no longer wish to hear his foul plans, so I decided to shoot him with my battlecannon. The projectile flew at Sire Ignis and it struck him directly. The empty shell casing then flew out through the ejection port, spinning gracefully in the air before landing. *THUNK! CLING! CLANG!* The empty brass cylinder rolls around as it clatters onto the dirt floor, smoke wafts from its gaping mouth. It takes a while for the smoke to clear from the explosive shell that impacted him as I wait to see the aftermath. Instead of a corpse, he still stands with a bright blue glow enveloping the psyker's body. He remains unharmed. Not good. I fire everything I have at him like an acapella of war with the singers being that of the full might of the Knight's armaments. The
stubber sings with a fast, rapid-firing voice. *RATATATATATATA! The Icarus autocannons thundered in intervals. *TUTUG! TUTUG! TUTUG! TUTUG! TUTUG!* The mighty battlecannon with its booming voice. *BOOM! BOOM!* This serenade goes on for less
than a minute. But it has deposed enough ammunition to destroy an army, and it
is all spent onto this psyker. He should be dead after all this. It takes a while for all debris to clear and I impatiently wait to see his corpse. What I saw shook me to the core. There he is, still standing with a wide grin on his face."Do you really think you had a chance against me? Hah!" He taunts me as he began to conjure something. His body then begins to levitate and glow brightly as he began to say things that I do not understand while doing weird gestures with his hands. It's an attack. Definitely an attack. "ION SHIELD TO THE
FRONT! FULL POWER!" A faint, shimmering blue barrier materializes in the front of Imperial Knight that is almost imperceptible to the naked human eye. The Knight then began to move towards him. The chainsword revs and growls like an rabid animal that is thirsting for blood. If I cannot kill him through firepower, then I will try melee; atleast I will die in glorious melee combat if it doesn't work. The heavy jog of the Knight brings me closer to the floating form of Sire Ignis. My eyes continue to track his still form as I pay no mind to the rising and falling motion. There, almost there. The chainsword is brought upwards. The servos began to complain loudly as it was then being put to its limits. *WHIRRRRRR!* But its complaints was drowned out by the roar of the chainsword as I rev it to the max. I swung it down in an arc onto the body of Ignis. But I wasn't able to strike him before he finished the incantations. A blue ball of pure energy like that of melta shots from a melta cannon flies towards me. It impacts against the shield and dissipates harmlessly, the hard impact was felt as my Chaosbane was shaken and the lights in the cockpit dimmed for a short moment as the reactor began to compensate for the energy consumed by the massive load from the ion shield generator. Now it is my turn, as the chainsword continued on its downward trajectory in maximum rev. The same blue glow stops the chattering chainsword upon his protective barrier, the psyker looks at me with a face of utmost confidence. "You must be really stupid if you-" The sounds of cracking ice caught my attention and so does the psyker as he looks back onto the point of impact where my chainsword and his shield met. Cracks then began to form on the psyker's shield. There is a look if horror on his face with his mouth agape and his white, withering eyebrows angled upwards. "Oh you bastar-" The shield explodes in a beatiful, eye-watering display of dissipating blue energy shards that resembles broken glass. The chainsword finally made contact with his body, he makes an open palmed hand covered with black, scale-liked texture to stop it, temporarily. Sparks were flying everywhere as the chainsword rampaged against his hand. He struggled against for a short while before I decided to push down harder. He faltered as his hand was reduced to a mangled mess of flesh and bone before he was finally sent flying downwards. He stands up wearingly as he dust his robes with his still good hand, cracks his back, moan in pain as he cracked his back, and finally says something to me. "You are too dangerous to my goals Luke, I will erase you from this world. Enjoy your first and last victory against me." He said it with such venom to the point where I was surpised that he was capable of expressing that much hate in such a few words! His eyes then glowed a bright orange before an explosion consumed him. The auspex was brought to full sensitivity and yet I still cannot find him anymore. "Coward." I whisper under my breath to chastise the so-called 'Conqueror' psyker. A shimmering, rainbow hued ball rolls around where the psyker used to be before fleeing through unknown magical means of teleportation. Suddenly an unknown rune emerges on the auspex. All of the Knight's armaments was brought to bear on the spot where the psyker fled. "I AM NOT GONNA LET YOU ESCAPE FROM ME AGA- HUH!?" I was expecting to see the robed form of Sire Ignis again but it wasn't him, but rather a humanoid in a fetal position lying on the spot where the psyker was enveloped by the explosion. "Did she, come from that ball?"
