Fallout Equestria: Wasteland Deathwatch

“Life is the Emperor’s Currency, Spend it Well.”

-Imperial Thought of the Day

On the Surface of Forge World Ordana

The Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, known as the Deathwatch,were engaged in a bitter stalemate with the Ork WAAGH! of Warboss Gorgunk Da ‘Bonebreaka. Originally sent to the planet to investigate reports of a Dark Eldar attack, they found themselves face to face with a green tide of proportions not seen since the Wars of Armageddon.

Captain Michael Octavian, originally from the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter, Tore the head off a charging Nob with his mastercrafted Chainsword.

“By the Emperor! Where are those reinforcements?!” He called out over the VOX.

ducking under the axe of an ork, he rammed his knee into the gut of the unfortunate Choppa Boy, and stabbed his chainsword into the vile ork’s back, Coating his black Power Armour with even more blood and flesh. An foolhardy ork opened fire on him, but was torn down by the bolts of his battle-brothers, the ork’s rounds never getting into his flesh. After the last ork was cut down in the name of the Emperor, Michael received a transmission over VOX.

“This is High Inquisitor Gerard Barano of the Ordo Xenos, All Deathwatch kill teams are to  regroup at Manafacturium Noctis.  We have reports of a massive group of heretics incoming on your positions. You will be meeting with the Grey Knights of the Ordo Malleus and will assist them in slaying the cultists.”

To say that Captain Octavian was surprised at this news was an understatement. First Dark Eldar, then Greenskins, and now the Forces of Chaos? This day just kept getting better and better.

“We shall go there in the Emperor’s name!” replied the Captain. The orks around his squad were all dead, so he was prepared to move to face the next wave of foolish enemies and crush them with the Fury of the God-Emperor. Chaos or Xenos, Captain Octavian cared not who he fought.

“Brothers! Let us go forth to victory! Chaos now rears its ugly head, let us cleave it from its shoulders! FOR THE EMPEROR!” Michael roared. The remaining members of the squad rushed towards the massive factory, smoke rising from its mighty walls, eager to spill blood for the Imperium.

A blast of Warp Energy stayed their feet, and the twisted form of a Sorcerer bound to Tzeentch, the Chaos Lord of Change appeared before them.

“You fools will fall before the might of Chaos! Your False Emperor will be destroyed, and you shall join him in death!” Sneered the Cultist.

“Vile heretic! It is you that shall die on this day!” Retorted Captain Octavian. “NOW FACE THE WRATH OF THE GOD EMPEROR AND SANGUINUS!”

He charged the Sorcerer, his chainsword hungering for the blood of heresy. A blast of Warp lightning hit Michael, but he was unfazed by the attack. He swung the sword, and the sorcerer countered with his corrupted stave. Octavian swung yet again for the flesh of the vile fiend, and his blade tasted blood yet again that day, the chain tearing away at the fool’s flesh.

“DIE CHAOS SCUM!” Michael bellowed. He pulled the blade away from the bleeding cultist, and prepared to deal the final blow.

“CHAOS JUDGES YOU UNWORTHY LAPDOG! BE CONSUMED BY THE WARP!” With those words, the sorcerer fell down, and a massive warp tear was thrust into the materium. Michael tried to escape the pull of the vile warp energy, but was unsuccessful in escaping it’s grasp. He was taken by the warp, and the daemonic portal closed...

Captain Michael Octavian, Battle brother of the Blood Angels and warrior of the Deathwatch, was lost to the Imperium that day, but his story is not over yet. He will soon wake up in a world nearly dead due to the wars of Xenos......
