Harbingers of the Apocalypse, Pt 2
Orsethii stood on the bridge of the lead Imperial cruiser and reviewed the holoreports around her with abject approval. Her numbers looked very good, despite the casualties her fleet had suffered.
More than that, the tactical intelligence reported high chances of winning, which climbed higher with every moment that passed.
It was clear that Orsethii’s strike fleet was the superior one, despite having a seemingly lesser fleet. After all, she didn’t have a battleship on her side.
Most of what she had were summaries or predictions, which she found lacking. She then glanced around in search of more complete sets of data, but couldn’t find what she was looking for.
“I need the raw casualty reports,” she commanded. “I

Armored assault Discordians charged through the heavily defended passageway into engineering. Though they were under constant fire, they pressed on through regardless.They swung their halberds at the numerous turrets that had popped out of the walls and ceilings, and sliced them apart.The remainder of the turrets’ mangled frames sparked and sizzled uselessly, even as the Discordians ran past. They went further down the passageway still under fire, and charged at the heavily armed security personnel stationed at the other end.Their opponents’ bullets dug into the Discordians’ thick armor and struck them underneath. Despite the damage their bodies took, they powered through and cut their opponents down in a flash. The walls and floors were painted with Federation blood as their bodies fell t

Nyvrass II, Nyvrass System, Imperial Domain of the Boundless DrogarThe space above Nyvrass II was in absolute chaos. The burning wreckages of half-destroyed Imperial ships rained down onto the vast city-scape of the industrial planet. They came tumbling down from lower orbit, and crashed into the massive industrial complexes below.The entirety of the planet’s surface had been completely converted into a single industrial city, and was jam-packed with manufactories, fabrication bays, material depots, munitions storage, recycling plants, and so on.Absolutely everything needed to create weapons of war was built on the planet itself. The planet was home to an entire wartime production chain, starting with containers filled with raw materials to crates filled with fully-furnished naval guns.

By this time, entire swaths of the city beneath were ablaze and had been reduced to little more than piles of colorful rubble.But none of that stopped the vast tornado of destruction.Amidst all of the combat within the swirling storm of metal, the two devastators faced off with vicious determination. And since they were both Imperial ships, their weapons were moderately effective against each others’ armor.Dark orange disintegration beams crossed between them and struck each others’ thick chitin. Both of them tore each others’ armor apart with equal amounts of fury and power.They etched deep scars into the chitin and carved off huge chunks. Most of which fell down the city below, which demolished anything still left standing and added to the g

Taloren Prime, Throne System, Imperial Domain of the Boundless DrogarThe skies above Lacroseth City were beautiful and clear, while the streets far, far below were abuzz with activity. There were throngs of drogar going about, busy as bees and living their lives.Some of the streets were rife with political chatter and discussion, as was the norm around the towers. After all, it was the center of Imperial power and so all manner of political discussions and arguments filled the air.But normal citizens and political pundits were far from the only people all around the towers.A good portion of the streets surrounding the towers were taken up by thousands of Sanguine Fundamentalists, all of them protesting angrily against the powers-that-be.

As Retholis and Orsethii argued far above, the crowds grew wilder down below. To the alarm of the numerous security forces posted up around the towers, the protest groups grew larger and larger in size. More and more Sanguine Fundamentalists poured into the lines and packed the streets.More signs, more shouting, more guns.But what was worse than the increased numbers was that those who joined all wore heavy dark red armor. Not only that, but the security forces’ sensors detected more and more military-grade weaponry, from charged slug repeaters to electrostatic throwers to shoulder-mounted launchers.Tension filled each of the security force commanders as they watched the Fundamentalists’ numbers rise. Their nerves blew apart the moment the fundamentalists started shooting.

The Gold Justicar swallowed back any fears she had and advanced towards Orsethii. Although she had extreme reservations towards facing off against a Reborn, her duty overrode everything else. Decades of conflict had honed her into a deadly and powerful combatant that few could rival.Of course, her power armor helped close any gaps between them as well.“By the code of the Justicars,” she told Orsethii, “I command you to stand down. Any assault made against the Emperor is immediately punishable by death.”“Ah, yes, another fine tradition,” Orsethii retorted. “It’s a bit interesting to me that my traditions aren’t worth anything, while yours are worth everything.”“Warring needlessly and upholding law are t

The fighting down below was still incredibly fierce. The Sanguine Fundamentalists had concentrated on sections of a few walls and literally blasted short tunnels through them. Many had even begun to charge through the breaches, but typically met concentrated defensive fire from all of the security forces behind the walls.Despite the fissures, the majority of the fighting still occurred just outside the high walls. Out there, the streets had been filled with tens of thousands of armed and armored Sanguine Fundamentalists, all of whom screamed bloody murder.It was all so chaotic and messy and completely out of their capacity to deal with that almost no-one even noticed the explosions far above their heads.Hell, it was so far away that they couldn’t even detect them - they had their own explosions and gu
