The Return of the Warmaster


Skirax

Recommended Posts

Ah, but you see Skirax, I know things about this story that even YOU don't know. For example, I know that in the end, the High Lords hired Abaddon to hire the Assassin, to begin to clear out the ranks. Those First and Second Founding chapters were getting to be a little... independant, shall we say? :)

Ah but that is where you be wrong. Anyway, on with the update!

 

He crouched in the shadows, unheard, unseen, unnoticed. He would have laughed had he less self control, for this captain, a great stealth assassin captain, who's senses were more alert than any others, had not heard him tailing him over the past weeks. His blades kissed his fingers, the sleek steel caressing his tips, and he smiled under the dark hood. Before him, three dark figures were hunched over a map of the planet below, planning for attacks that would never happen.

'There are three major Ork attacks at the current time, Commander,' said a voice deep and commanding. The Captain contemplated this fact while the other man spoke. 'I suggest we lead wuick surgical strikes into the enemy's commanding generals, kill them, then mass the Chapter while the Guard op up the remaining greenskins. Then we luanch a gathered attaqck on the Warlords main hold.' The third man seemed to remain quiet all through the meeting. That was his target, alongwith the others, but they were secondaries, this man was his primary. For weeks he had been trailing this bastard, and each time he had his crosshairs trained on him, he slipped into the darkness lik a shadow. So he he had forgone his rifle to allow him quicker travels and a chance to get close to this captain. How he had managed to get on the ship was a mystery to even him. Still, a good assassin does not listen to facts which may deter him.

He shook his head, snapping himself back to the matter at hand and the pressing situation. he was outnumbered 5 to one, with 2 extra Marines standing behind the captains up ahead. He slid out his blades and put them aginst his fingers, readying them for the throws. They made a muffled 'shing' sound inside of his robes, but even this was enough. The third man turned to look in his direction. He could tell the man had seen him and, abandoning all caution, leapt to the sky of the tall chamber. He was over the holo-map, time slowing down. He threw his two knives at the First and Second Raven Guard Captains. They found their marks, and embadded themselves in their victims necks. They grasped their spilt necks, shocked looks on their faces. He turned to the third man, but where he was meant to be, there was only empty space. He cursed, once again Shrike had slipped away. He fell to the flor, on his feet in less than a second, is pistols in his hands. There were blinding flashes from the barrels, and the two marines fell dead on the floor, their helmet fronts gone and their flesh fried. behind him he heard a stir. He turned, and the First Captain was lieing there, blood pouring from his neck and the knife whetted with his blood. He rasped, froth coming to is mouth. Finally words reached his lips.

'Who..who...are you?' He cried, gore filling his mouth.

The assassin lowered himself to the floor and for the first time in ten mellenia, he spoke. 'I am death incarnate,' he said, lifting his hood and showing the dieing Astartes his face. The mans eyes widened in fear, and a scream of terror escaped his ill-gotten mouth.

Like the stories, but Calgar dieing was a bit of a shock for me, teach him to wear a helmet now anyway, maybe a return of Calgar in a Dreadnought like Davian Thule in DoW II?

 

Do one for Thule as well I think.

Maybe you should do people like Tigurius Cassius Telion and Chronus

Nope, he's gone. Davain had a very srong venom, Calgar has a very strong exploded head.

The quote "I am death incarnate" is like of those space marine sayings "we have no fear, we are fear incarnate" so this is really annoying for me as I want to know who this assassin is. The saying gives me the kind of feeling that its Necron but this seems wrong as why would a Necron have a Rifle? The snipering and stalking and stuff makes me think this might be Sergeant Telion turned traitor.

 

Please have the next story quick, I can't wait!

 

P.S this might sound stupid but who is Alpharius? Heard people mention him but no idea who it is

*Points accusingly at Bluddragon*

 

Primarch of the Alpha legion...ask around the forum for more information.

Is it really that good? Am I actually...'soiled' worthy? *eyes shine in adoration and hope*

how is he going to kill shrike anyway? Shrike always wears his helmet and the rifle or throwing knives won't go through armour.....

If you look at past assassins, they use different methods, some straight forward, eg. rifles and knives, others entice the victim to come to them, causing them to make mistakes, then moving in for the kill.

lol ^_^

Shrike crouched low in the corner of the chamber, his long Claws extended, and his senses on full alert, his helmets enhancers on at maximum strength. How had this assassin managed to enter the ship without the Raven Guard managing to detect him? And, more importantly, how was he nearly able to kill Shrike without being detected? Now he was stalking the corridors, a living shadow and a deadly one at that. Shrike knew from his past that assassins had enough power within themselves and their arsenal to clear out the better part of a major hive. Now this man was loose on the Black Deliverance with no-one knowing he was even there. Shrike could have activated the ships warning sensors, but no. That was exactly what the assassin wanted. To lure him into his trap, then take him like a sitting grox.

Shrike heard footsteps approaching his cell, approximately 200 metres away. Now was the time to move. Flexing his legs, Shrike set off at rapid pace. He turned the corner, not even breaking his pace. Suddenly the footsteps behind him accelerated and instantly he knew this man was the assassin. Activating his Jump Pack, Shrike rocketed down the corridor, leaving the man behind forever.

Jurnis stopped running, the clutch-bomb still on his back. 'Good, he is coming,' he heard, the assassins voice loud and clear. 'You have done your part, there is no use for you anymore.' And with that, the darkness of the corridor lit up with the light of a small sun.

The assassin slid his knife out of its holster, the cold metal once again caressing his flesh. He smelt the fool’s promethium fumes as he rocketed down the corridors of the ship, towards the trap that the assassin had prepared. Now he waited.

A couple of minutes later, the Third Captain came into view, covering remarkable ground in seconds.

Now the trap sprung.

Remote explosives collapsed the tight walls, damaging one of Shrikes Jump pack tubes. The Captain whirled around, coming closer to the assassin. He smiled, and threw the blade at Shrikes exposed neck.

The dead captain fell to the floor as the last of his Promethium fuel burnt out.

The assassin removed the Astartes helmet, savouring the expression of shock and rage exposed on Shrikes face. After a couple of minutes, the dead hero hung from one of the flag poles that lined the ship, a grotesque and horrifying tribute to the slaughter that was yet to come.

Haha, love it, out of interest can you have this guy assigned to kill some random guardsman who by some twist of fate/luck ends up killing the assasin. I can imagine, "I HAVE KILLED THE GREATEST HEROES OF THIS IMPERIUM", "Yeah, well eat las-lead" promptly pulls trigger, misses, hits explosive barrels behind assasin who dies in explosion... :)
