Once and again the Redemption had triumphed over the forces of rebellion and apostasy, and at last the Redeemer joined forces with Haera Helmwar in an assault on the seat of power of the corrupt Aranthus usurper, no less than the throne room of the most sacred planet of Necromunda
The noble lady led us trough hidden routes into the Spire proper and the anteroom of the throne, suggesting to the Redemeer a two pronged attack led by herself and his blessed person in order to catch the heretics in a pincer movement
Protected by his goliath mercenaries, the arch heretic encroached upon his usurped seat, certainly dreading the inevitable punishment due for his many transgressions against the Master of Mankind
Firing their autoguns and chanting psalms the crusade did then advance, laying low the muscle bound brutes at the vanguard of the squatter host
And cutting down with eviscerators those goliaths so reckless as to come close
Even a vicious pit fighter was killed off by a pair of novices, whose zeal and fanaticism proved more than the match of such veteran, if misguided, mercenary
By then the usurper had entered the fray, and me and Klovis moved forwards to douse him in the holy flame of the Redemption dad truly burned away part of his sinful form
His blasphemous armour however kept him safe from the Emperor's retribution, and dispatching brother Sebastian with his power sword the deviant charged into us
His corruption truly did over flow ans with fell sorcery he momentarily turned lady Haera against us
My mentor and I fought valiantly against the renegade psyker
But schooled in centuries of combat he managed to overcome us both
Only to fall next to the flames of faith, whose purging heat brought him low
By then there were only a handful of enemies left, a miserly bounty hunter and the flying servitor all that remained of that erstwhile band of proud sinners
And my heart rejoiced as I saw how the usurper was given the coup de grace by a novice
And Haera recovered herself and led the final charge that cleansed the heretics from the throne room
Returning Necromunda once more to house Helmawr and the worship of the God Emperor
