In the World of Sword and Magic as Space Marine

Chapter 139: Two Worlds Collide

"Many mouths speak your hunger into this world, mistress. Let me be the loudest."

By: A basic prayer to Tiamat

----------------

The ritual is nearly done and soon, goddess is about to enter the mortal domain. The sky darkened and earth shook every minute as presence of the evil itself emit in the distance. The very same location where thousands of cultists have gathered to achieve one goal, to summon the being known as the Nemesis of the Gods to end all (Also, get rich and power, you know, the general stuff).

The red beam of light was also noticed by the Divine Realm as gods and goddness saw the beginning of the destruction to the world they know of. Tiamat was known as lesser deity but for some time now, the power of the Dragon Queen grew powerful never before. As if something foreign influence empowered her beyond her natural ability, and she is getting stronger every minute.

"So, the time for the final act is here. Let us see what my boy will do." A child of golden light said with no concern in his voice as few of the deities around him turn their faces with worries. The great evil is about to be released and if Star Child's plan fails, the destruction will be catastrophic enough to end many mortal lives and even religions.

"Are we certain your followers will accomplish what you promised? We place all our hope on your plan. If this fails, we are doomed." A man in golden and silver armor said to Star Child as he place his hands on the hilt of his great sword place towards the ground. Once in few hundred years, the gods will send their champions to prevent the Queen of Evil Dragonkind from holding power over mortal lives and the world.

The reason the gods didn't intervene this time is simple, they been busy with four gods of the Chaos from different realm. Of course, they sent their chosen to do their divine duties but unknown to even the gods, the influence of the Chaos reached the arch enemies of the divine realm.

That is why for the past year the world has been in more chaos than ever. More of the monsters ran rampage, evil men and women of greater powers made their moves to possess more power, even the demon lord of the one of nine hells emerge to the mortal world because of the taint of Chaos. The presence of these four gods left an strong impression that will require many generations to heal from. The gods and mortals were luck that the Tarrasque remained slumber as that one is just another major headache.

"They will accomplish their goal. That is as long as you guys keep your promise of letting them go home by releasing the hold of the byond the sky." Said Star Child. The lock on the sky is what keeping his boys from returning home. With the help of the Chaos gods, the forces of Chaos were able to leave how ever they wished. This is why corrupted Battlebarge was able to leave the orbit. As for the Necron Overlord? He had his own way of going around and it made local gods mad but unable to do anything as Overlord had no soul to twist or manipulate.

"You don't have to worry about that. Faster you and your followers leave, the better our world is." A goddess of all magic and spells said as she approach the Star Child. Her name is Mystra, Mother of all Magic and the one who governs all magic spells. She is the greater deity and she is the reason why higher magic spells doesn't work in the mortal realm. In short, Mystra is a big deal in the divine realm.

"As you wish my lady. Soon, the two worlds will be separate once again and we will never see each other. Its a pity, I was enjoying the peace of this world, but there are works to be done and small army of zealots to save." The last one was spoken near silent but also with excitement as if child ready to open his birthday gift.

"What did you say about saving someone?" Mystra asked with curiosity. Her time with Star Child was unpleasant experience. This is because Star Child's 'magic' is a different domain of its own. Its like trying to control a weave of strings but you can't because that strings are from a different instrument entirely. The frustration of unable to do a job your is testing Mystra's patience and she want it to be done soon as possible.

"Nothing. Just something I must do right after I get back home."

"Tell me, out of curiosity. What will happen to your followers once they return home? Will they finally find peace? Will it be a tale of worthy of legends?" Second greater god approach the group with carefree and wink at the Lady of All Magic with smile that screams max charisma. Oghma, the greater god of knowledge and patron of bards made his appearance as if he is thinking of next best hit music after this blow over.

"... Yes, but you have to remember that their definition of peace is bit different." Lord of Mankind said with his best ability to maintain straight face as he can't tell the truth. This is because he doesn't know what will happen when William and his men return to the world of Imperium. Will this change the timeline? Will this bring positive outcome of beginning of 42nd millennium? He doesn't know and he sure can't see it but since William is his champion and most possibly his blood (relative now???), Star Child is positive it will turn out ok.

'I'm sure it nothing to worry about. What worst thing that could happen?' Star Child said to himself as he join others to watch the final act is about to begin.

----------------------

20 Miles away from the ritual site,

The tanks roll with engines fuming black smokes while thousands of men and women of the Imperium finest troopers march towards the soon to be battlefield. Behind them, the two knights and squads of titans of various types join the formation while keeping distance to cover ground and air.

Warlord Class Titans made great impression among others as this is their first battle in the New World. Each step they took, the earth trembled and their presence as avatar of the Machine God gave high morale boost to the troops.

Meanwhile, Emperor Class Titan kept its distance but maintain its speed to prevent any uncessary accidental death. The embodiment of the Machine God and most prized possession of the Mechanicus made everyone believe a certain victory. This is the very same machine that devastated the demon lord Orcus and his army. Now, the walking church titan is here to kill a god once again.

"We are making a progress. There are no encounter of an enemy forces or any signs. We are clear for now, sir." A report came from the vox box as Lord Creed sat on his tank turret with arms acrossed. He was riding his tank given by William himself, the Baneblade super heavy tank while two additional tanks, the Rogal Dorn battle tanks are behind. The sheer firepower of the battle tanks are enough to bring down an small army. Heck, William is certain no wizards can stop the damn thing even if they want to, unless they have anti tank rocket luncher, about dozen of them at once.

"Keep your eyes open and ears wide, we are about to make history by killing a god. Let there be no doubt that God Emperor is watching us right now. My soldiers! Today we fight for ourselves. The path to home is near, let us clear it so we can see the light of the God Emperor once again!" Lord Creed gave his speech in all vox channel for all to hear. Moment Lord Creed's speech was done, all the troops shout in cheer while all land vehicles including titans made noise, powerful enough to shatter the sky itself. The morale is high, the sprite of the mankind shine bright as sun. Thousands of fighting men and women of the Imperium not from this world took step forward, to face the evil herself.

As Lord Creed's speech boosted the morale, the opposite side replied with their own as roar of the vicious monsters never heard before echos. Making appearance beyond the mountain, dozen flying beasts with massive wings flew high up to the sky. Big red dragons of different colors and size of Bandblade battle tank sore through the sky with breath attacks ready to unleash but what followed them behind was much more terrifying beyond Imperial Guards' imagination as gigantic crimson red dragon covered the sun with darkness using its own body.

"Here we go people. Let us accept our welcoming hosts with everything we got. Fire!" Lord Creed gave his order and once clear sky is now covered with shadows and bright red lights as two massive forces if sizes and number clash.

----------------------

Meanwhile,

William, Rana and large number of chosen troops sat in slience as they listen to the connumation from the vox. The flooding voices between reports, orders and screaming voices of dying soldiers can heard. The battle began with two forces colliding like a wave of ocean to the cliff and cliff is hitting back hard.

"Are we certain they will be ok? I feel like we should be there on the field." Rana said as she place her hand on the blade hilt. It wasn't just her, some of the troops are showing concerns and worry in their eyes. Unable to be with their brothers and sisters in the same battlefield is painful but mission comes first. The mission Lord Creed planed must be followed to the teeth and they all knew it.

Among others, Tempestus Scions double checked their rifles and powerpacks, the Sisters of Battle made their final prayers for the fifth time to the God Emperor of Mankind, and Blacksouls Astartes are communicating among themselves by private vox channel as their helmets clicks with each end of conversation. Only William remain silent with eyes closed as he sat in the front with his terminator armor. Without his helmet on, William show no signs of expression of any emotions. Even though he wish to be with his main fighting force, William knew this is the only way to successfully stop the Dragon Queen. Infiltration and strike the enemy's heart before it begins its first beat.

With few more surprises on William's side, he and select number of small forces are on route around to reach the main base where the ritual of summoning is nearly done. Flying high up in the sky, above even for the dragons to notice, the Thunderhawks and Astra Militarum transport aircrafts made their move in stealth. Carrying troops, vehicles and special packages for the final fight.

Suddenly, the cargo hold turned red to signal that they are near. William finally open his eyes and put on his helmet. Others did the same and get ready to fight as theirs will be starting soon. With no words of grand speech of his own, William open vox channel and said what everyone in the strike team will remember.

"Hit true to the enemy just as our brothers and sisters are doing right now, giving us the opportunity to strike the heart of the enemy. Remember what Lord Creed said, he is watching us right now. We are his blade and hammer, we are his instruments of deliverance. Emperor protects." Said William and he turn his head to Rana without vox or speaker on.

"And I will protect you as you will to me." With that said, planes suddenly dive deep down and out from the clouds, a half dozen metal birds of other world made its appearance. No longer hidden or need for stealth, all aircrafts open fire on unsuspected enemy forces to clear the landing site. In a matter of few seconds, entire landing field burn into ashes as tents and any living beings are no more.

William's Thunderhawk made the first landing and open its front ramp. The first to exit are Tempestus Scions as they begin to scan with their rifles to find any surviving hostiles. After them, Sisters and few Astartes came out with their weapons ready. Finally, Rana and William join the others with resolution to finish the battle.

The real battle is about to begin in the heart of the enemy line as strike team landed in the enemy rear with full might of the Imperium's finest.
