Virgil looked around him, he was sad that Anbite was going to die, nothing would prevent Dante's anger from consuming him utterly. Wolfenstein was an enigma, none knew ow powerful he was, though it was know he was a powerful psyker, and a combatant to be feared. Virgil stood up slowly, he knew he would die as well, but by a different hand, he only hoped he had time... Dante got up, and walked a few steps on the barren terrain of Referus I, Lucia moaned on the ground under the blanket, but Dante ignored her. He knew what would happen, but in cloaded detail, he only hoped he could prevent it... Anbite strode out of the study all of the inquisitors following him. "You all know what you must do" he said looking around him. He walked over to amanda and sabriellen and embraced them both he then turned and walked out of the door heading towards the waiting space cruiser. once onboard the ship he took a deep breath and wiped away the tears that had appeared in his eyes. he nelt down. and prayed. Dante looked up into the sky, he saw the ship of Anbite there, and a small flash, a drop pod, no doubt, come flying towards the planet. It landed with an enourmous shockwave, which shook Dante from his feet and woke Lucia, who scrambled, and managed to get on some clothes before the doors of the pod opened, recovering his feet Dante saw the white robes the figure was wearing, and the stormbolter he carried. Dante instinctively drew his own pistols, as did Lucia, but he did not aim them. 'Anbite, I was beginning to grow bored, at last you come.' Anbite leapt at Dante his masters stormbolter blazing and his inquisitorial robes flying around him. Dante dodged them and Lucia scrambled for cover. Roaring Anbite fired up a master crafted powersword and charged. Dante parried and went body to body with anbite " I see that you have some new toys" he sneered " I will die well and proud" Anbite retorted "And well dressed" Quipped Dante and broke off Anbite brought his stormbolter to bear, but Dante knocked it away, it fired, and splintered a rock.Again Anbite aimed, this time pulling of a perfectly aimed shot at Dante's chest. Dante fell backwards as the shot tore into him, but stood up again, the wound healing already. Anbite looked in horror, and sent the rest of the clip towards Dante. All missed, but Anbite watched in ultimate satisfaction as, by a trick of fate, Lucia emerged from behind her cover, and aimed, right into the path of a bolter shell... 'No!' howled Dante and threw a punch at Anites head that sent him spinning into the dirt. He ran to the corpse, the belly was blown open and the mouth was leaking blood. Dante stood up, his anger boiling. Then, in an ultimate act of humiliation, Anbite fired a shot, and it exploded Lucia's head... Dante rose, warp lightning surrounding him, he gathered all of his power and prepared to unleash it. Anbite grinned and spat out the blood that was in his mouth. "Now you know how it feels deamon. How it feels to loose a loved one." Dante screamed in a language that hurt Anbites ears and charged. Dante leapt into the air, a blast of pure energy coming from every atom in his body. Anbite closed his eyes as it hit him, but there was no pain, no sensation, he opened his eye to see the energy was not touching him, there was a semi spherical gap between him and the energy. Dante forced another pulse, but Anbite held out his hand and it was absorbed. Dante surged upwards, like a purple missile he hurtled down on Anbite, to Anbite it seemed as if he hit a plascrete barrier just before he hurtled into him, and he flew into the earth, crating a furrow. Dante stood shakily, all his energy used. Looking at Anbite he just managed to utter the word 'bastard' before falling to his knees... Anbite swung his sword around and sliced the head of dante from his shoulders. he spat at the crumpled body and turned to exit the room "So he is gone. Pray for him." Doomhail said and headed off towards the surgery room to meet with Niobe once more to discuss the apparition of the daemon. Silently, internally he wapt for his new found and soon lost friend. All that he knew had been ruined by Chaos and now this noble Inquisitor was being ruined by a heretic. If ever he met with any of Dante's associates who survive Anbite's wrath their end would be painful and gratifying, for Doomhail at least. Anbite strode out of the study all of the inquisitors following him. "You all know what you must do" he said looking around him. He walked over to amanda and sabriellen and embraced them both he then turned and walked out of the door heading towards the waiting space cruiser. once onboard the ship he took a deep breath and wiped away the tears that had appeared in his eyes. he nelt down. and prayed. Anbite heard a laugh from behind him, he knew the laugh. Swinging he turned to see Dante and Lucia. 'You did well, Anbite. Against my copy, but you will have to face the real me now, and I will take Lucia's copy's death as if it was her own.' 'It will be soon.' said Anbite firing. Dante's hand whipped out, catching the bullet inches from Lucia's face, she flinched, and looked slightly scared. 'Now, let us begin.' said Dante... A sharp whistle tore through the air Dante looked up in shock. Anbite grinned. "looks like your going to die twice dante" he quipped as the bombardment from doomhails ship began. Dante roared in fury. "Farewell friend." Doomhail turned away from the viewing port as the bombardment from the Ouranon created blossoms on the planet's surface. Anbite and Dante locked swords, each blasting eachother with there minds trying to find a weak spot but neither of them found one and they broke offand circled. "you are brave anbite" Dante shouted over the whistles of the bombardment "Sacrificing yourself to kill me, that is indeeed a noble act." he paused and then finished "noble, but stupid" anbite grinned and saluted with his sword to dante as he saw a shell fall down towards them. "Now we will die and i will have won dante." he lowered his sword and stood back "so tell me dante" he shouted over the whistle of the shell "how does it feel to loose?" The phychic screamacross the void was terrible. stunning thousands of astropaths. Doomhail wiped a tear from his eye and then turned to his considereably shaken navigator "set a course for terra" Mefisto had wished that he wasn't on board to witness this (OOC: if that's alright doomhail), anbite had seemed pure and devout, but to make this sacrifice was holy indeed. The name of Anbite would be honoured on a thousand imperial worlds for his deeds, and unshakeable faith. So dante was destroyed, or so they hoped. And now Mefisto was a target, one of those who saw action on the hulk, and was a witness to the bombardment of Dante and Lucia. This was too much light to be drawn towards him, and he felt the need to hide. Mefisto was getting out of here, to a place where he could lose himself. The conflict around the Eye... Doomhail sought Mefisto on board his ship. "It is done. So now it would seem that our paths diverge again. Is there one last favour that I can grant you? Passage to your next destination? You have but to say although we are now heading for Terra." At that point a vast hulk entered view, the concussive blasts rocking the ship violently. "Doomhail get us out of here, or we will surely perish" shouted Mefisto, as he struggled to keep his footing... As the ship turned to jump to hyperspace, an enourmous vessel appeared out of nowhere. 'EVADE!' cried Virgil, running towards the bridge. The Retribution Class Battleship fired a salvo of torpedos point blank into the other ships hull. The walkway Virgil was on snapped underneath him and he fell to the floor on his stomach. He got up, and was on his knees when a large pole swung down through his back, blood splattered the computer screen in from of him. "Great!What now?! Calidon, I don't care where just get us out of here preferably in the direction of Terra. But then a vague direction wouldn't make much of a change for you!" Calidon shot his master a mock insulted look. Calidon was in charge of the ship and Doomhail never had trusted his sense of direction. Still the ship rocked violently again and nearly sent everybody off their feet. "Now, Calidon!" The Ouranon entered the Warp and shot out almost as quickly. "So, Calidon, where are we?" Virgil's dying ship lit up space. Virgil's blood ran down the computer screen as his lifeless eyes stared into it. The pole keeping him upright snapped and he fell to his stomach, blood leaking through the decks. The executioners were frantic, one managed to get to the astropath and send the chief justice a message, it read, 'My Lord, We die, the emperor protects' |
