"Trust in the emperor for he is the light in the darkness,"

*EXPLOSION!*

Covered his face as he ran forward with his lasgun in hand as he ran down the trench line panting behind his gas mask as he ran down the line ready for anything. Well all most anything for he was sent flying into the air by an explosion that caused him to go out of the trench and land on the soft mud above. Landing on his back he groaned in pain as he got up coughing as he did so, covered in mud on his back he arose gunfire surrounding him as he reached down and picked up his las gun and looked around as a voice caused him to go cold in his tracks.

"Going somewhere worm?" A bone-chilling voice said as he slowly turned around him to see a traitor Astartes space marine who smiled down at him:

"Are you ready to join your corpse god as a corpse?" He asked as he raised his power fist into the air.

Before he could bring his fist down to end the guardsman, the word bearer's arm went flying into the air as he turned his head to the wound to see it was gone before he could react another blast shot a hole into the chest of the word bearer as he fell to his knees before falling down dead.

The guardsman turned his head to see an Astartes of the black templar holding a lascannon in his hands as he rose up before walking over to the guardsman and spoke.

"Take up your weapon guardsman," The marine said in a cold tone as the guardsman was awestruck as he bent down to pick up the weapon he dropped from fear.

"The emperor protects," Rex said as the black templar nodded.

"Yes...He does," The templar responded as the guardsman raised his rifle up to the horde of demons before them that ran at them.

Standing up from the horde was the two as another templar walked forward followed by another and another till the line was covered in black armored space marines that held the line alongside the lone guardsman. Before he could do any more he was thrown back into a line as he went downhill as he hit a rock on the bottom of the hill as he got up holding his helmet, this time his armor covers more of his body than before and was more protective than his last set.

*Hiss*

Lifting his weapon he turned his head to see one of the abominations Xeno creatures that was well hated across the imperium of man.

"Genestealer," Rex whispered as he raised his lasgun and fired at the creature but it moved fast moving out of the way of his attacks on him running right at him with its four claws hands ready to bleed him dry.

As he missed the genestealer ran at him with its claws out slashing at him as armor did very little to protect him but enough so that his wound wasn't deep enough to die. If he was standing two inches closer he surely would have died the guardsman pulled out his knife as he watched as the creature readied another attack as it came at him from the air before it could pin on him bolter fire rocked through the air tearing the creature apart.

Rex turned his head to the source of the fire to see the sisters of battle donned in mat black armor holding out there bolters to the genestealer. Getting upholding his chest he watched as the sisters of battle came over to him as the leader looked at him and spoke.

"Can you fight guardsman?" She asked to which Rex nodded as he changed the power cell to his las rifle as the sister looked at him.

"Cadian broke before the guard," Rex said as she looked at him before smiling at him.

"Indeed," She reached to her side and pulled out her sword as she held her bolt pistol in the other. "Come guardsman to victory!"

With that the sisters of battle ran to the fight as Rex followed suit not caring for the wound on his chest, jumping to a trench line Rex changed. His armor was now what it was today along with his hot-shot lasgun that replaced his former weapon as he switched it out for a familiar blade that once belonged to the sister of battle that once lead him to victory as a Dark Eldar freak came at him with is claws out.

"Hehe ready to die human?" Rex didn't say a word as he ran at the Dark Eldar who moved out the way and came swing with his danger only to be knocked back by Rex who kicked him back.

The Dark eldar stumbled back ready to kill the human but was engulfed in flames as a strange human wearing a pointy hat held a flamer in one hand and a rapier in the other. The woman was an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, a witch hunter if you will who turned to the guardsman who spoke.

"I had him," Rex said as the woman looked at him.

"You were taking too slow," She said as dropped into the trench next to the Guardsman who turned his head to the side of the battle.

"What is the plan inquisitor?" Rex asked.

"Simple guardsman...we kill them all in holy fire," She said as Rex grabbed his bolter pistol, and the two exit the trench line and ran to join the sisters of battle and the black templars.

"FOR THE EMPEROR!"


(Real-world)

Rex awoke with his head on the table as a cup of tea had been spilled all over the table, confused he felt a slight ping in his skull as he rose to uphold it as he blinked.

Where was he?

Wait...that's right he was having tea with the princesses and he took a sip of his drink and...and...and...

what happened?

Looking up he saw the princesses and the elements all looking at him wide-eyed at him as he looked them confused as he rose from his chair. Turning next to him he saw Cam looking right at him with tears in her eyes as looked at her confused before he could say anything she tackled hugged him.

"REX!" She shouted as she buried her head into his chest as he looked at her confused.

"Cam? What happened?" He asked to which she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I had no idea what you were up against!" She told him confusing him even more that is when it hit him.

The dream he had...it did feel off as if someone was watching him.

That couldn't be right who had the ability to look into his dream and...see...what...he...was...thinking.

Turning to the princesses, most looking at Luna he sighed. Right Cam said she was the princess of Night and dreams so he put two and two together.

They spiked his drink with something so he would fall asleep so they could see his dreams.

He glared at the group as he gently petting Cam.

"Damn Pskyers,"
