Disclaimer: I don't own Warhammer in either of its genres (I sure as hell wish I could) or any of the Stargate series (also that too) or Mass Effect series. Now this is my first ever fanfic so pls forgive if the chapters are a little short at first and isn't that good. I want to make this into quite a big series and adding possibly other universes as it goes on. Now for first few chapters I'm going to focus mostly on warhammer and a little bit of stargate and mass effect. I'll also be making codex pages for some of the characters and vehicles and what not I'm going to put into this but I'll make a separate thing from this story so it doesn't take up story writing space. So let's begin. I hope you like it. P.S All you Warhammer 40k hardcore fans are probably gonna hate me for one of the things I have might plan for this series, oh well.
Techmarine Hammel fought the controls of the stormbird as it fell through the atmosphere of an unknown planet nearly uncontrollably. All the while he chanted to the machine spirit of the stormbird, encouraging it on to bring itself into a controlled atmospheric descent.
The stormbird slowly began to level out as it got lower and lower into the atmosphere. Hammel thanked the Omnissiah for this blessing that had been bestowed on this mighty machine. As he pushed the stormbird downwards through the clouds, until the planet's surface came into view. It was dense snowy forests far as the eye could see.
"Techmarine Hammel what's our status " came the voice of brother Remith over the vox.
Hammel guided the stormbird lower towards the ground while replying "We have been transported to an unknown planet, but it is able to support life". All of a sudden the controls began to judder and Hammel instantly realised the stormbird had taken damage obstructing its ability to remain airborne.
"Brother Remith, I have to land the immediately the stormbird took significant damage going through the portal that brought us here, added to the fact it spat us right into the upper atmosphere" Hammel said as he flew the damaged craft towards the nearest clearing that could accommodate the stormbirds immense size.
Brother Remith acknowledged over the vox "Understood, brother" as Hammel start's the landing sequence as he had found a suitable clearance in the trees. As soon as he had felt the jolt of the stormbird landing he switched off the engines and unbuckled the flight harness on the pilot seat and exited the cockpit.
Hammel began checking each of the compartments that were on the craft to make sure all the equipment in each one was still secure after the rough ride they had into the atmosphere. Just as he was about to finish up in the vehicle bay when voice of apothecary Ricttus came over the vox channel.
"Hammel, Brother-Librarian Leros is in critical condition here in the medibay, he tried to stop whatever it was that made the portal and he was cooked in his own armour for it". The Techmarine responded "I'm on my way" before looking towards the still form of a dreadnought walker and said "Sleep well, old friend" and continued on towards the medibay.
As Techmarine Hammel entered the medibay he saw the small squad of imperial guardsmen that the remainder of brother Remith's tactical squad saved from certain death. On the other medical tables lay the surviving members of the guardsmen squad who had nearly all been incapacitated except for their commanding officer who was looking over her men and women with concern. Meanwhile the remnants of Remith's squad were gathered around the near still form of the struck down librarian.
Techmarine Hammel approached them. "How is he" Hammel asked looking at the near charred form of brother-librarian Leros and the apothecary stopped what he was doing at the nearby medical station and turned his attention too Hammel. "Our brother is fading, I have done everything I could do for him but the damage is too extensive, it won't be long until his duty ends" Apothecary Ricttus said solemnly. Hammel understood the apothecary's dour mood. Despite being adeptus astartes the emperors angels of death, they also had deep bonds of battle-brothers that had been forged on the battlefield and tempered during their life long duty, until death took them.
But for the Librarian Leros and Apothecary Ricttus, the bond was much deeper. Because before the initiation they were both brothers in blood, and even after the process of becoming aspirants their bond was still strong, if not stronger. Hammel knew this for he had been there all those years ago when they had been chosen, when they came out on top during the blood trails and then when Leros had been taken away because of his latent psychic powers. While Ricttus had endured the process to become full blown initiates in the ranks of the chapters scout company, Leros began the truly gruelling initiation into becoming a librarian and eventually they meet again.
"Brother Hammel" the Techmarine heard the weak voice of the dying librarian in his mind. Hammel turned towards the medical table that Leros lay and approached him and stopped beside the table. "Brother before I pass, you must hear what mission that has been given to us" said the disembodied of the Leros making Hammel's eyebrows rise in shock before Leros's eyes flew right open and they lit up in a bright blue and he gripped the techmarines forearm with such and strength he had only ever but a few astartes in their moments of death to insure their duty, even on their death throes.
Flashback
Leros could feel his entire being burning up as he continued to resist the entity that had conjured up the warp portal they were being sucked through. Its power was truly nothing he had ever felt before and completely eclipsed his own power over the warp. But yet he pushed on regardless knowing that if he let up then his brothers and the guardsmen occupy would be ripped to pieces by the daemonic denizens of the warp.
But as he continued to resist against the entity, something seemed off about it too the psyker. Leros had an ability few other psykers had. Being an empathic was not easy, even for one as disciplined as a space marine librarian. But it worked even against the greater daemons of the warp.
And what he felt coming from this entity was feeling completely like the polar opposite of what any daemon he had felt the emotions of ever before. He could feel happiness but also sorrow emanating from the being that had created the warp portal. "I'm truly sorry for what is about to happen to you brave one, but it is for the very survival of the species that deserves to be saved in this galaxy, and the species that exist throughout the this one as well" said an elegant disembodied female voice in his mind.
Despite all his years of training he was about too go against everything that any astartes were taught and kept up with themselves throughout their years of duty when they heard the whisper of unknown voice in their minds, and answered the voice "Who are you, what do you want of me xeno". Leros felt a powerful ripple of anger came off the entity at the mention of xeno. "That is the reason I am here, you must lay down predilection of xenophobia, it will serve you ill on the journey that is to be undertaken".
"What journey, we are in the warp and when my psychic defences fail we will torn apart by the ravenous denizens that dwell within it"
"Do not worry, where you are going they do not exist, but there are many dangers and challenges that you will face but do not fear, you will not be alone".
And with that last sentence the entity, Leros lost conscious thought.
End Flashback
Brother Remith watched as Librarian Leros let go of Techmarine Hammel's arm and the techmarine stumbled backwards as if he had been shoved, Remith quickly moved to make sure he couldn't also fall over. Remith looked at librarian as the blue in his eyes began to fade and he heard the last words Leros spoke into the minds of his brothers "Goodbye brothers, continue your duty and I will see at the side of the emperor when your duties done"
And with one last effort Librarian Leros uttered out their chapters battle-cry while gripping Rictus's hand "Knowledge is power, Guard it well my brothers" and then died upon the medical table.
Yeah the end of that chapter was a bit sappy but oh well. I hope you all liked it. I'm going to try and pump chapters out at least every week so until the next time.
