Welcome back, I know I have been gone for a while and if you're looking for an answer...I don't have one. I am just a really bad procrastinator who gets easily distracted, but as I'm on the last few days of my vacation I had the chance to get back into things. I was actually gonna post this yesterday, but it was April Fool's and I didn't want you guys to think it was fake. Anyway on to the questions.

Notsae: To answer in order. Maybe I mean most of these guys don't have the best survival rate, to be honest. They might not be able to handle it but...well just wait and see. And for the nids, I mean in any other substance you'd be right but I have a little workaround for that.

Blaze1992: …...Well, there's subtlety and surprise gone right out the window.

Ollanius Pious: No it does not have a name and if it did I'm pretty sure only the crew would know it and all that other stuff is too much for me to keep track of I'm afraid. But you're not wrong one can never have enough baneblades.

Zigga: Simple answer. Yes. In-Depth answer. For the sake of brevity, I am gonna say yes as I'm just gonna say that due to them being human they still know what a gallon might be.

Kargan3033: I'm 50/50 on whether or not I might kill him off or not. But not before I use him again and also thank you for the compliment as I didn't know if I did well on the battle scene. I am hoping to do more of them in the future.

Tech priests: Don't get your servos in a twist this takes time.

Belo: Thank you but this isn't anything too special as there are many others out there who have made similar plot lines but everyone has their own take. But nonetheless, thank you.

420 man, abuseatchoum35, and SpecH82: Thank you three for your words and I hope that I can keep up with your expectations.

I can't begin to tell you all how much I am honored of all those who have stuck with this story. And thanks to all of you that like the story so far, I just hope I can continue to live up to your guy's expectations.

Anyway onto the show

Chapter 4: School Days

My weekly alarm blares in my ear as I wake up tiredly trying to hit the snooze button. "ugh Here I thought I could catch a break," I say as I get up and get dressed. I open my door after dressing in a nice red blazer, plain white shirt, and some blue jeans. As I open the door I hear the sounds of trumpets and marching, seems that the guard is doing their drills.

"Morning Governor what brings you out this morning," spoke Stance smoking a thick cigar.

"Just getting ready to head out to my classes," I say as I head down the steps.

"Classes? What for Governor, surely you are qualified for a number of positions already?" questioned the aged general.

"It's just to make me more presentable for positions if I have a degree they will more than likely take me on even if the degree isn't quite what they need," I say.

"Why would they do that, it seems highly impractical if you are in need of someone hire those that are needed leave the rest behind," spoke Stance as he followed me in his personal Valkyrie, clearly not seeing why anyone would do this.

"Most people are only worried about how their business looks, but what only a few of us understand is that we need more trade jobs than anything right now," I say as I reach the bottom of my steps and slip on my shoes.

"Lord Lucifer," Lucas continued as he was riding in Goliath Truck driving towards me. "I do not mean to be prudent but I must ask if you have come to your decision on allowing the hive to take care of these pests that have plagued your territory,".

"Governor I would advise you not to allow them this, there's no telling what foul abominations they could make with that much material," Stance continued to advise. "From what the Mechanicus have told me, the Tyranids are able to use the adaptations of whatever they consume to improve upon their design,"

"We are no threat to you nonbeliever, while it pains me to admit that the great minds of the Norn Queens are needed for such adaptations to happen," Lucas continued. "Unfortunately they were on the hive ships when the star collapsed and as they did not appear in the same location as the rest of us, we can not further upon the designs of the great Hivemind,"

Well, that was interesting, I think as you should never show that you have a weakness in your army. Unless you are trying to appeal to diplomacy. "While I understand your fears general, I am going to allow them to handle the yellowjackets," I continue. "I am going to give you guys the benefit of the doubt here, do not let my trust be misplaced,".

Lucas gives a creepy yet grateful smile. "Thank you, Lord Lucifer, you have made an ally with the Swarm this day," he said as he left to relay the message.

I hear Stance huff and say. "I have to disagree with you on this decision governor, these Xenos can't be trusted,".

"Well think of it like this, this will be a test to see if they can be trusted," I continue as I whisper down to him. "Just keep you men on high alert for the next couple of days, if they do anything they get annihilated and if they don't we know they can be trusted,". I walk over to my back with all my supplies, thankfully I have all my classes in one day (Which is possible, but rare). I then realize that I probably can't leave here without one of these little buggers tagging along. So against my better judgment, I call out. "Alright I am heading out if anyone wants to tag along come out now otherwise I'm leaving,". As soon as I said anyone multiple flying vehicles came barreling towards me and began unloading troops. "Only a few, I am not taking an entire army with me," I say as I swear I could hear cries of aww from some of them.

"I would request that I be a part of this expedition into the wilds of beyond your domain Governor," continued Magos Alexander from the top of the steps. "I wish to document as much of this time period as I can,".

"I will also accompany you as well Titan," spoke Zythor as he rode a heldrake down from the attic.

"If the traitor gets to go we request to go too," spoke Tyr along with Inquisitor Dawn.

"I will accompany the Space Wolf as well, to make sure the heretic does not try to use foul warp powers on you Governor," said the Inquisitor.

"Kan I'z go to boss?," Skullmuncha asked as he seems to have been given some cybernetics 'modifications' if you can call them that. He now has replaced his right eye with a large red cyber eye and walks somewhat on his left knuckles as his left arm is now mostly a giant clawed hand with two shootas on his forearm.

"Will the others behave with you gone?" I ask even though they don't behave with him here anyway.

"Wun sec boss, AHEM oi ya gitz dontz du nuffin to da skwishy an metul gitz while I'z gone!" screamed the warboss.

"Wot about da buggy fings we'z got?" asked a random Nob.

"dey are still gud fer krumpin," spoke Skullmuncha.

"Buggy things, you didn't capture any of the nids did you?" I ask hoping to not have to make peace talks between the two races.

"No boss we'z found dim 'n da Dark 'Ole, deyz neat boss dey got lotz of legs, an are gud at krumpin, an look I'z even got wun uv 'der teef az mi new choppa," he responded as he held up a centipedes fang he had attached to a stick.

You know I don't know why I'm shocked by this anymore, I think as I speak. "Anybody else, cause last chance,"

"I shall also accompany you," voiced Taenar accompanied by a group of howling banshees.

"Let me guess they are coming along as well," I say.

"If da panzy gets ta br'n der gitz den I'z bring'n sum boyz," spoke Skullmuncha then the flood gates opened and everyone else scrambled to get some troops.

Just to get them out the door so I wouldn't be late everyone came with a small unit of troops. Taenar had her howling banshees, Alexander bringing two kastelan robots which are a bit overkill, Thawn "volunteered" some stormtroopers, Skullmuncha took some nobs, brought chaos terminators also overkill, and the furr..I mean Tyr came along with a squad of long fangs. I grab them and stuff them into my backpack as I head towards my first class.

Dormin University

Dormin University. "The Jewel of the Breadbasket" they call it, the most prestigious college in the entire midwestern US. Let's just say you don't get into this school just because you won the county modern art contest. Don't get me wrong here it's still a place filled with dipshits more worried about partying and getting laid then passing the next exam, but I'll give them props, they at least study for them.

I pull in to the school parking lot as I open my bag one last time to go over the rules with the minis. "Alright, guys remember no one can know about you, so stay in the bag and keep quiet," I say still not entirely on board with the idea of bringing them along. I get a series of confirmations from them that they will behave or at the very least try.

My first class is Behavioral Ecology, which Alexander loved the most, even deleting memories within one of the kastelan robots to store more data. I had Introduction to Medieval History, next which, the Space Wolves decided to pay attention too after my professor got on the topic of medieval Scandinavia.

We had an "accident" by Taenar in the World of Classical Music when she launched a low concentrated blast of lighting at a couple making out a bit too loud for her tastes. Her only excuse was that "The works of the classics, should not be insulted by the youth,". She's just lucky that the professor was more focused on continuing the lesson then to listen to the pleas of the couple that keeps interrupting her.

Up next was Calculus II and after that was Myth and Legends of the World. Calculus was all quiet most of the minis were trying to keep their eyes open while Skullmuncha was trying desperately to figure out the test equation slip I was given and his answer was the color green cause it was the best. Myth and Legends went around the same as Thawn and Zythor were mostly enthralled by the lecture on the Trojan War.

After my last class I decided to head to the campus park as most of the classes morning classes are over and the afternoon classes are starting up. Which makes an excellent moment for me to grab a bite to eat and let the minis out of the bag since most students are gone or are in class. "Alright guys you all got 15 minutes then it's back in the bag and back home for us," I say eating my burger I bought from the cafeteria on campus. I lay my bag on a picnic table and lay a bag of potato chips open for the minis.

"What on Terra's holy soil is this?" asks Tyr as he sniffs at one of the potato chips.

"A potato chips, some good old sweet-salty goodness," I say as I take a few for myself.

They were hesitant but then the orks started chowing down on as many as they could fit into their mouths and I'm pretty sure just to make sure they didn't get all the food many of the others started to try the chips.

"It is decent, for being made by humans," spoke Taenar being too prideful to admit that humans can make decent food.

"Better than the guard's rations," spoke a random Stormtrooper.

"What was that trooper?" asked Thawn with a hint of a threat.

"Nothing Lord Inquisitor Thawn!" spoke the trooper with fear.

Alexander just stared at the chips. "Unfortunately I have long since lost the need for physical foods, so instead I shall take this and begin studying the contents of this chip," he spoke as he began to grab instruments to study his chip.

Now just too sit back and re…"Sensors indicate large movement coming from the southeast," spoke one of the long fangs.

I just had to jinx myself, I think as I turn my head just enough to see behind me. Walking through the park, was a woman. Her 5'6 and skinny frame making her look even more meek then her slightly hunched posture and rushed cleaning of her glasses did already. The colleague uniform she wore clearly showed that she was a student and there's something familiar about that long brunette hair with a dyed blue ponytail. And it would seem that she was on a direct course to the table I was sitting at. I quickly turn my head back to the minis, but all but the Thawn, Tyr, and their men had made it back into the bag. But they seemed to be way ahead of me and froze still, and some had seemed it apt to get into action poses.

"H..hey, Mr. Jäger," spoke the new arrival.

Well time to play the distraction, I thought. I turn to her and say. "Please Mr. Jäger is my grandfather, call me Lucy,"

"Right sorry, I just didn't want to call you Lucifer and make it seem like I was calling you the devil," my new and vaguely familiar acquaintance continued. "And putting off by making you think I was some religious nut, and I just realized I am rambling I am so sorry, I just get like this when nervous an…,".

"It's fine, no need to explain yourself I've met plenty of people how have done the same, Miss…," I interrupt her as I'm trying to figure out where I've seen her before.

"R..right I'm Veronica, Veronica Miller, we have Myth and Legends of the World and Medieval History together," Veronica said.

"Ah yes I thought I had seen you before I just can't remember where tho, sorry," I said adding sorry as thinking back on that it sounded kinda harsh.

She smiled and said, "It's fine we haven't interacted much since the begin of the year, anyway I needed to as..,". She seems to pause as she tried to peer behind me and her green eyes lit up instantly. "Oh are those 40k miniatures!?" she asked, her voice sounding like a kid on Christmas. Before I could say anything she immediately got around to the side of the table to get a closer look. "Wow nice paint job on the furries, you can almost see the metallic shine on the armor, I'm primarily battle with Eldar myself," she continued. "Oh those troopers look great did you get custom orders cause I've never seen them posed like that, and that hair on the inquisitor looks almost lifelike,". She reached out to touch Thawn.

"No, wait!" I said I grab her arm. She looked at me grabbing her arm and looked at me waiting on my answer. "I um just painted them, wouldn't want you to get any on you," I lied quickly.

She quickly had an 'oh' face and said. "Right sorry wouldn't want to mess up your paint job, I understand my little brother would always smug the paint on some of the marine models and they would have the derpiest faces,".

Nice save Luce, I think as I give myself a mental pat on the back. "Ya so what did you need from me again," I say trying to distract her away from the minis with a few of them looking a little blue from lack of oxygen.

"I was wondering if I could borrow your notes from your presentation about the parallels between Heracles and Jesus," she continued as she fiddled with her ponytail. "Because Mr. Sorbo will be collecting our in-class notes on our classmate's presentations, and my list of notes got soaked after I had left them outside my balcony,".

"Sure but I'm gonna have to give you them at a later date, I don't have those notes on me," I say.

"Well if it's not too much trouble could I stop by your house sometime this week to grab them, please there due by the end of next week?" she asked pleadingly.

"Sure, just let me know ahead of time," I continue as I grab a napkin and write down my number. "Here's my number, I should be free for the next couple of days,".

She grabs the napkin and looks at it with a nervous smile. "Oh ok ya sure, I'll uh call you sometime" She continued nervously "T..to make sure your free I mean, so umm bye,". She quickly turned around and mumbling something along the lines of 'I can't believe I got his number'.

"gasp Thank the Emperor I thought she would have never left," spoke Thawn as a gasped for precious oxygen.

"This is a prime example sir of why you should wear a mask," spoke one of the stormtroopers.

"And obscure my magnificent face never and what's wrong with my hair!" ranted the inquisitor.

"Clearly this Veronica knows actual beauty and prestige if we are the ones that she'd choose for battle," spoke Taenar with pride in her voice.

"I think the bigger thing to focus on is that she recognized the imperials and possibly knows about many other factions from our time," spoke Zythor.

That is something to think about but will get on that when we get back to the house, I think as I start to pack up. "Alright everyone let's get out of...wait where are the orks?" I ask noticing that the walking mushrooms are gone.

"We thought they were out here, although the lack of yelling should have been a big hint," spoke Taenar.

Meanwhile with Skullmuncha

"Awright boyz letz git dis grub back ta da boss," ordered Skullmuncha. After the other ummie came to talk to the boss, Skullmuncha and the boyz did what the boss ordered to do and hide. And did they hide, they hid so well they forgot how far away they had hid from the boss. But as they were about to go on an epic journey to find the boss, one of the gitz smelled something tasty.

So they followed it and low n behold there was a large box with a mountain of bone holding a sea of yellow goop with red islands that tastes almost like juicy squigs. So Skullmuncha had the most brilliant plans of brilliant plans that had ever been planed. They were gonna steal the box and bring it to the boss for a reward, hoping that reward would be the grub inside the box.

"Cumz on ya gitz put yer backz inta it," spoke Skullmuncha as all the orks got underneath the box and lifted with all their might.

As the Orks commit food theft, two up and coming philosophers partake in mind-expanding substances. "Dude I just got the good stuff," speaks Stoner 1 and both him and Stoner 2 light-up joints.

As this happens through their eyes they see a walking pizza box singing. "Orks, orks, orks, wez da bestz, orks, orks, orks, green iz bestz,". (Ork marching bands ladies and gentlemen)

"Bro, this is the primo shit," speaks Stoner 1 as his friend contemplates if he should cut back.

With Lucifer

As I search the surrounding area for the little green shits as I hear the sound of guttural singing as I see a pizza box come around the corner. I quickly block the box's path and lift it up. "'oo du ya tink ya iz ya louzy gi...oh 'ey boss wen'd ya get 'ere," spoke Skullmuncha like he was talking about the weather.

"Bag now!" I harshly whisper as I set my back down quickly. Without even saying anything the orks pile into the bag and I quickly make my way to my car. And since it's not like I can find out who's it is and just say 'sorry my pet green mushrooms sole this', I'm just gonna keep it. Hey never said I was a good guy, besides its pepperoni who can just pass pepperoni.

We make it back to the house and not only are their no light shows this time but everything seems for the moment all quit. "Governor/Commander," speak a mixture of voices.

"uh What?" I groan out as I curse my luck.

"These Xenos will not allow us to partake in using your 'Firestick' for research ancient Terran conflicts," spoke Stance.

"And we are willing to compromise however the Gue'la will not allow us to watch episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam," said Shadowstrike.

When the hell did they find out about Gundam, I question trying to think who gave them access to the internet.

"Even though their programs will not be available no matter what, and the Drukhari only wish to view the poorly acted mating rituals," finished Shadowstrike.

"OHH YESS AHHH!" a voice moaned from my living room. I head over to see what was going on and find that the dark eldar have decided to leave my totally not hacked Firestick on a random porn channel as poorly acted pron continued too play on screen.

"Honestly mon'keigh if this is what your species considered pornography, then it's no wonder why so many of you scream at the sight of one of our parties," spoke Drara as if he was reviewing a low budget B movie. He lazily laid on my coffee table on a throne while being feed what looked like grapes.

I quickly maneuver around the couch, passed a small crowd of daemonettes that appeared to be enjoying the show. I grab the remote and change the channel. In response I hear a series of disappointed aws, I was watching that, and thank the Emperor I need a cold shower. "Ok I think we need to review or better define the TV rules for you guys," I say already rubbing my temples for the oncoming headache.

All in all, we came to the decision of an ordered list of who gets what on what days. And when I mentioned recording the episodes of certain series the majority of the complaints stopped instantly.

So every week each army gets 14 hours of access to my Firestick, which does not stack. Plus to compromise I let myself be forced to those rules as well. Unfortunately, the Dark Eldar, a vocal portion of the Chaos forces, and I swear I heard a few sisters even contemplate to allow the viewing of porn. The worst part is they somehow convinced the Orcs that the "ramin ov' da skwishy bits" as they call it, is a form of unarmed combat and after that, they were on board.

Well at least I don't have any neighbors for noise complaints, I think trying to find a silver lining.

Ok, so I know this is super late but I am trying to get back on a schedule. Not gonna lie gonna be a bit cause works been hectic since we have been understaffed. But enough about that on to the chapter.

I hope you guess liked some of the jokes in here, everyone seems to appreciate or at least understand my humor so I'm gonna try and keep it coming.

So I know some people might be confused by this, but yes you can get all your classes scheduled in one day. It is super difficult and depending on the classes it may not even happen, but sometimes the stars align for you.

Also, we have the introduction of a new character of Veronica Miller. Her role in the story is probably gonna be obvious but for those who think she'll just fit that role, will you be surprised….maybe I don't know I kinda write this as I go.

Also, some of you are probably questioning Lucy's morality. Let me get it down straight for you if your confused, Luce is a decent guy. He's not good, but he certainly isn't evil in any way. He has morals but he is willing to bend them sometimes, but not gonna say anything else on that.

Fun Fact the whole comparing Jesus and Heracles line was inspired by an actual project I did in high school talking about Heracles and I found an interesting paper on the many similarities of Heracles and Jesus and how Heracles was probably regarded the same as Jesus in that he was a figure to strive towards and had many traits that were praised by the ancient greeks like Christians due with Jesus.

If you came here hoping for an update date for my other story DxD: Abyss. Well, there isn't gonna be one, but before you freak out let me say I won't abandon the story. I am giving it a break to catch this story up with it. I will get back to Abyss to at least 7-8 chapters, I really need to give this story some love.

Well, I can't think of anything else to say so I hope you have a good day wherever you are and this is Gaslight 88 signing off.
