(Meanwhile aboard the Rosethorn...)<br/><br/>"Lily, we are being hailed, it's not coming from the planet though. Shall we accept?"<br/>"Go ahead..."<br/>The view screen projected the image of a R'ylean man's face to her suprise, but she calmly cleared her throat and spoke "This is the Rosethorn of the...." "Yes! I know who you are! There is a Necronian vessel to your rear! They are making an assault on the planet and filtering out all planetary transmissions! They're coming for you!"<br/>"Henson! Scan the aft side now!" she shouted as almost instantly the image was displayed on the strategy table showing the Rosethorn and the attacking ship.<br/>"Lily, it's scythe class... We may be a bit outgunned here...",<br/>"Throw on reverse and starboard thrusters and fire all aft nova cannons at the target before we turn. Prepare the forward torpedoes for immediate deployment..."<br/>She then turned to the R'ylean, "Do you require assistance?", "No, I'm fine but I'm sure your friends planetside could use it", "Okay, take your ship to the surface and extract our captain and anyone else you can take with you", "Rodger... I'll let you know once I hit the surface."<br/><br/>In the silence of the void, the Necronian vessel glided towards the Rosethorn as their weapons charged another arc to throw at them, but suddenly the barrels of the Rosethorn's nova cannons glowed red hot before firing two beams of concentrated charge that detonated over the vessel.<br/><br/>"Damage report...", "We have lost heavy weapons, but we still have secondarys master...", "All battries, return fire and bring us to bear downwards... I wish to split the belly of this beast...", "Yes master, by your will..."<br/><br/><br/>Koto growled with fury when he missed the Necronian assasin, now more necrons began to teleport onto the planet surface and he watched with horror as they filed into orderly units and marched through every street, killing innocent civilians and warriors alike with their brutal weapons. He turned as he heard multiple zaps of energy behind him and turned to see thirty necrons now bringing their weapons to bear. It felt almost natural as he holstered one gun and drew the Necronian sword. If they had been afraid, there was no way to tell. Their body language looked uneasy, but that did not deter them from targeting him, all of them firing at once.<br/>He raised the sword and to his astonishment, he caught the crackling arcs of lightning that appeared to be absorbed into the sword. The silvery inlay of the words inscribed on the blade glowed green and smoked with eldrich power as he charged the group.<br/>He swung the sword, effortlessly slicing through the living, self repairing armour that the necrons most highly prided themselves on and flourished his gun as it blasted holes through the eyes of the ones that nearly escaped his wrath. But to his dismay, more began to arrive and self repair, standing to fight once again.
