I tried to open my eyes, then heard a deep growl that gave psyker energy that came in waves, with every sound my mind and soul felt like it was about to shatter "You have somehow passed the test next time will not be so easy." I start to feel my body again steering at the golden doors "I hate illusions."
I stood at the entrance of the golden door, clenching my hands into fists feeling the pressure build up as if I was trying to turn coal to diamond, my anger from the illusion tempting me with something I would have been honoured to have received but instead to be spoiled by trickery and dishonouring my memories of those who I admired when I stood proud with my Legion, but thinking of these moments brought me more rage. It is tempting to think about how I will match my pain with his when I get to him, I need to calm down, the Warp feeds on my emotions and amplifies it. We have to leave the Warp. There is no way of telling how long we have been here, "Sigh" I raise my head staring at the golden door only now noticing it has changed form before only showing my past but now I see change instead of a permanent past it must be changing future.
Before entering this new trial, I still have my Weapons ( bolt pistol, bolter, my power sword (Last Fang) and a few grenades) something I can be thankful for in any case, my armour is still in good condition only showing shallow scratches my systems are still operating within normal levels. "Into the breach." I raised my bolter and started to walk towards the door, for it to slowly open without force, "Well this can't possibly be dangerous." I feel like I am standing at the gates of hell itself having no idea what will happen but space marines always enjoy a challenge. "Let's find out if you're a challenge." Every step I take is like thunder and every round I unleash from my bolter is like lightning.
The smell of burnt flesh stained the air, and the sound of gunshots rang out across a field of death. "Where am I?" I start to search around me scanning for life signs, 'blaring sirens' of my auspexs shout at me, hostile targets, I can see the small creatures numbering hundreds with tiny scythe-like hands, bio-matter guns and carapace-like armour. My bolter makes short work of about twenty or thirty, blowing them apart into fine mist, they climb over their dead, probing my defences for weakness sending only waves, I start to switch it up using my sword to slash those that get to close and bolter to burst firing still killing tens of them every second, the sound of a horn rang out, the little bastards running back down their holes, galloping sounds came from a massive barrow surrounded by many bodies of what looks to be imperial guard, a massive four-legged creature with two tiny scythes on either side of his head, not to mention I don't think it can see but it knows I am here, It's body is covered in carapace armour that looks to be to thick for normal rounds to penetrate.
The creature came running out and then stopped about a hundred metres from me, unleashing a deafening roar at me. It wants to challenge me, so I put my bolter and sword away showing it my acceptance of the duel. It began to run towards me at full speed, and I did the same, with every step I took the ground and dirt flew into the air even still increasing my speed, sprinting tens of metres per second, the beast matched my speed knocking a burning Lemmen Russ tank out of its way like nothing, a show of strength, I am happy to oblige as I ran past I grabbed a two-metre bar with a sharp tip through it with all my might, it blasts through the sound barrier a few times creating a gash across its back. Metres away we looked like two charging bulls, we collided with each other as we did a burst of air came off like an explosion of pressure, I grabbed his two scythe-like hands and pushed against them with every ounce of strength I had, my armour releasing pressure to help maximise my strength to take this enemy down.
My system red lighting hard like I had just hit a Rhino transport (Tank transport for space marines), using its weight and muscle he started to push me, and with dirt building up against my feet, I started to search for a way to kill the beast fast not giving anything to chance while he tried to bite my head off. I found my chance the Lemmen Russ tank had a plough with spikes out of its front, my eyes resting on this monstrosity, I began to use more of my titanic-sized muscles and started to push the beast further seeing my chance to plant my feet hard into the soil and began to run while I pushed, now that I have gotten closer to the tank.
I am going to slip under him and use his momentum to grab his centre body lifting him only two feet off the ground, I can feel my muscles enlarge to the point my armour felt trapped between a rock and a hard place, my body ready to rise to the occasion to lift this massive weight, the beast screamed trying to tear into my back with his scythe-like hands and head, while his overgrown arms flailed around in the air, feeling the sweat starting to drip from my head, I started to lift the beast just enough off the ground and dropped him right onto the spikes using his weight against it impaling itself. Watching the alien thrash around kicking dirt and burning metal, "Die in silence alien, my ears are starting to bleed." I stood over him, savouring my victory over a strong enemy, the air around me started to change I could hear the flapping of wings, I prepared myself for another fight, oh shit, I stared at the towering monster, even to me he was massive in size, the creature sported a pair of wings, four gigantic swords for hands and a tail that had some kind of pincer on the end of them, its body was covered in darkness that I couldn't see through but his eyes glowed and made them stand out showing green fluorescent colour.
"Well fuck it, for The Emperor!" The alien began to swing his swords, then my vision went blank and I began to feel the same pain run through my head "You should have died! But you have surprised me and for that, I will kill you myself and hold to my promises." I once again stood at the doors of gold feeling the same as I did before, "I can't wait for you to try."
