The Imperial Guardsmen were on the ropes.? That was the sentiment of the commissar, though the first soldier to bring it up was immediately executed.? There was no second soldier to bring it up.
Their own las-rifle fire blazed down the barren field, ricocheting and blasting all over the enemy's side of the battlefield, but to little effect.? In return, the foe was firing with deadly accuracy to devastating effect.? In fact, their psyker estimated that half of the company was dead and only a few of the enemy had bitten it - maybe ten percent.
He was close to giving up.? By the emperor, he had promised never to retreat!? But the battle was hopeless.
A flash of blue light from the enemy made him look closer.? At first, he thought it was some new weapon, sealing their fate, but instead the foe began to break, Dark Eldar scattering and falling around their strange allies, who only fell after the last Dark Eldar had gone.
Through the ashes strode a single, pale man, his skin appearing much like the Dark bastards' but clearly human.? The Commissar breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the Emperor, you arrived just on time.? How did the TFF know we needed help against these fucking perverts?"? The Commissar lit a cigarette.
The man's face scrunched in distaste.? "You've overstepped your bounds, commander."
The commissar lifted an eyebrow.? "What?"
"I never said I was sent by the TFF.? You're out of your territory.? You're causing trouble where I patrol.? You cause chaos in a world without struggle."
"This blasted world is dead but for the armies stationed here!? How is that order?"
Rack looked at the man darkly.? "That is the true essence of order."
The Commissar lifted his chainsword wearily as the still corpses of his foes and friends alike began to lift themselves on unsteady feet and take up their weapons once more.
He swung his sword a final time.
His head hit the floor.

"Luthorne!"
Said mad scientist looked up from his old-fashioned notepad, to see a furious and worried General Assasinguy, Sergeants HK-47 and Albert Wesker traling in the shorter man's wake, indifference printed over their faces. He stopped some feet away from the grizzled man, catching his breath.
"'Sup, General?" he gave a friendly salute, only to be met with wary eyes. "Ion Cannons not firing right? 'Cause you know, we have a selection of other fine Weapons of Mega Massive Destruction in our stock..."
"You got any Particle Chargers?" came Wesker's enquiry, looking at a fellow Extremely Mad Scientist, "Because you see, my Sqaudron could really use some of those babies."
"Sorry, bud, only General Assasinguy here's got dibs on the good shit." he grinned down, "The man here's got special priveleges, see, and - !"
"Did you discharge a certain Lich named Rack from your R and D confinement?"
"The guy with the Marysue Bacterium? Yeah, we did." he look puzzled, "Gave him a Norma Suppressant to keep the Bacterium dormant, what's wrong?"
He pulled out a datapad and handed it over to the Madboyz member.
"You'll see what I mean," Luthorne pressed the enter key on the pad. "Your suppressants weren't good enough."
A crackling video made itself known, showing the figure of Rack and another soldier.
The man's face scrunched in distaste. "You've overstepped your bounds, commander."
The commissar lifted an eyebrow. "What?"
"I never said I was sent by the TFF. You're out of your territory. You're causing trouble where I patrol. You cause chaos in a world without struggle."
They talked some more, until...
Rack killed him.
Luthorne dropped the datapad.
"We have to get Admiral Rush," Assasinguy sounded, "God knows what's at stake here."
"The bacterium is highly contagious; if that sonuvabitch gets to Coreworld - !" Luthorne hadn't lost his cool in a long time, but now, in the face of a NEW threat to the TFF Coreworld, in the guise of friendship... "I'll get Rush, sir. That bastard needs to be hunted down and quarantined before the bacterium wipes us out!"
"My Fleet's doing that right now." he turned his back, ready to leave, "I'm getting your help because you're one of the best, Luthorne. No one knows about this yet; keep it within your department."
"Did you tell Hawk?"
There was only silence.
"Good God."
"Yeah, it's that bad."

Rack's bacterium has turned on us once again.. the dreaded Marysue. The worst part? He's located near FFnet.
God help us all.
