The defeat of evil

 

And so it came to be that the nefarious hosts of chaos launched their final assault on Port Blackwater, their objective none other than the Praesidium from where all cargo and shipping was controlled. Thankfully our lord Klovis had foreseen their criminal intent thanks to a vision from the Emperor, and was ready to repay their evil deeds with death and damnation.
As we advanced upon the archenemy I looked around and my heart rejoiced upon seeing all our allies gathered together for this fateful struggle: ¡nobles, bounty hunters and rogue docs had gathered around the fiery crown of the most holy Redeemer!
The heretics were rushing, scrambling to gather the control chips that would allow them acess to the inner sanctums of the Omnissiah
But our Messiah was quick on the offensive, leading from the front into the thickest fire
And praise be, the first chip fell into the hands of the faithful!
Lady Illaria carried the fight in our right flank, her frateris militia scattering the sinful abominants to the wind with their thrice blessed eviscerators
The noble matriarch also took part in the fight, blasting a heretical wyrd with her beautifully crafted polearm-bolter
The redeemer was as ever the best of us, scrouging and purging the mutant foe with the Sword of Persecution and his fiery words of faith!
As the zealots left the field with the control codes we breathed more easily: the Praesidium had been saved and now only remained the blessed slaughter of the sinful foe
In their ignorance the cultists had the effrontery of striking a blow against the Redeemer. However the Emperor himself intervened, mercifully shielding His right hand from damage. ¡Praise Be!
Always quick to react, Alpha pounced from behind a cargo container and blasted the twisted sinner with bolter fire before it had time to attack him again
Seeing my master in peril I rushed to his aid, shielding his holy body from harm with my own undeserving metal frame
Despite suffering some losses Doc Prot had come to our aid, healing the wounded with stimms and her matchless care
¡And thanks to her ministrations the injuried rose againt to wage the holy war!
Klovis had recovered, and chastised the heretics with flaming gouts from his eviscerator
Alas, a repugnant mutie had snuck behind him and fired...
... without doubt I hurled myself in the way of the flaming torrent, interposing myself between the flames and the leader of our crusade
Despite the crippling pain I realized that battle had turned in our favour, and my heart rose in song as more and more cultists and mercenaries were brought down by the blessed warriors of the Redemption

Alpha charged the twist that had the gall to attack our messiah, delivering just punishment with bolter and powersword
Even veteran Kiodrus was eager for some payback, delivering the Emperor's mercy on the fallen 
As ever the Redeemer's victory was inevitable; battle ended and as the good doctor tended to my wounds the Redeemer spoke unto us these words of truth: 
"There is no god but the Emperor and no path but that of the Redemption. ¡Let the heretic beware, the sorcerer tremble, and the mutant quail in fear, since his crusade would wipe them clear from the face of Necromunda, cleanse their sinful bodies with pain so our planet will be perfect once again in the eyes of the Master of Mankind!"
