Chapter 127: VS Third Alpharius

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called present"

Chapter Master William vs Third Alpha Legionnaire

The battle between William and third Alpharius begins a moment after Trazyn began his counter-attack using Megarachnid. After observing two groups start their fight and making sure no one was there to interrupt their fight, William makes the first move by an unleashing storm of bolter around.

The third Alpharius, even though he is fighting an opponent that he wasn't supposed to fight had a few tricks under his sleeves. Just before the bolter rounds could hit the Alpha Legionnaire, green energy appeared and shielded the traitor.

'Damn, of course, he has the Necron techs.' Seeing his range option is ineffective, William continues to blast third Alpharius while walking closer and closer. Relying on his melee weapon such as a power hammer, William readies himself to pull out his close combat weapon from his inventory when something unexpected happened.

A sudden flash of light blinded William and what was standing in front of him is an Alpha Legion terminator armor instead of one with scally power armor.

'He has the same ability as MINE!' The realization hit William but it was too late as enemy terminator armor punched William using a fully charged power fist. William slide back after receiving the full impact of the punch but thankfully, his armor itself managed to absorb the impact without harming the armor itself.

"You thought you have the advantage when it comes to power but I have you know that I possess more arsenal than my brothers," Alpharius said and pull lighting claws from his power fists. The battle of terminators began as William pull out his own lighting claws from his inventory and attach them to his own terminator armor.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

The footsteps of two heavy armors got closer and closer as two warriors close the gap between them. When they finally reach each other, William swings his lighting claw from above to slash the third Alpharius. The blades didn't reach the target as the traitor blocked them using his own. Using his free hand, William attempt to stab his opponent but that only made things much more difficult as a traitor countered using his own, placing both fighters into a battle of strength.

Using all his might, William's muscles swell and blood veins pop out as he pushes the enemy terminator, pushing his own body and armor like never before. The overwhelming strength of William's strength resulted in the enemy's defeat as Alpharius's arms are pushed back and finally into his knees.

"Embrace his judgment and repent for his light." Said William as he snaps the enemy Terminator's arms and immediately pull back to stab the helmet.

Just as William strike the third Alpharius and removed the helmet of the hydra, he saw something within the armor and realized he had been fooled this entire time. In front of his eyes was a heavily modified servitor with multiple implants attached to his head.

'Shit, this was decoy this entire time.' It was too late for William after realization as more terminators suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Surrounded by five Alpha Legion terminators, William removes his claws from the first one and puts them away to bring out his golden halberd.

"It doesn't matter what you bring out to face me. I have the number and more to come after these." All five terminators spoke at the same time with third Alpharius's voices and circle William with various weaponry. From a power hammer with a shield to duel chain axes and power lance, five terminators possessed unique weapons of their own.

"Well, I just have to destroy them all until I find you," William replies back and activates the kinetic pulse from the previous hit from the power fist. The blast of kinetic energy knock down three terminators while two managed to stay up. It is these two terminators that William went for as his golden halberd lights up and decapitates the first one in half and the second one stabbed right in the face.

William wasn't done as he then twisted the halberd to remove the second terminator's head to throw it at one of the downed terminators as it was trying to get back up. With a sound bang, the one who got hit by the helmet went back down while the two manages to get back up.

Seeing the next prey in front of his eyes, William rushes to the next target and cuts the terminator's head clean off as a golden blade generates unimaginable heat.

Next, as the fourth enemy was close to the third one, William use the back of his weapon to trip the fourth terminator and when it went down, switch from halberd to his trusty thunder hammer. With a thundering sound, William slams the hammer down right at the fourth terminator, smashing it to pieces as guts and blood splash everywhere.

Finally, William faced the last Alpha Legion terminator with a red visor beaming with death and carnage. In a blink of an eye, William managed to destroy four Alpha Legion terminators and he wasn't even breathing hard with exhaustion.

Facing the unstoppable force, the last victim didn't hesitate to charge William while welding duel chain axes. With each heavy step, Alpha Legion got close and activated his chain axes as weapons engines roared like a lion. The charging terminator would scar a normal person but to William, it was another enemy to put down as he countered the last terminator using the top side of his thunder hammer to strike the enemy.

The strike from the hammer push back the Terminator and before it could adjust itself to fight back, William already brought out his free hand with bolter in his hand.

"Bang!" The sound of bolter echoed as bolter round hit the Alpha Legion Terminator helmet and instantly explode, leaving the body headless.

Seemingly done with the fight, William lowers his hammer and looks around as if he was finally able to examine what he has done. Meanwhile, the real third Alpha Legionnaire was still alive and glad as he used five decoy terminators in his place as he wanted to see what William was capable of.

'Hearing and witnessing his combat capability is completely different. Good thing I didn't join the fight.' Third Alpharius said to himself as he maintain his distance while being invisible. Right after summoning the first decoy terminator armor, Alpharius activate the invisibility device at the same time to distance himself. After that, all he had to do was summon five more to observe and see how much more arsenal to take down the Chapter Master.

Third Alpharius concluded that he can't take down the Chapter Master by himself as William was more than capable of destroying anything Alpharius could throw at him.

"I found you," Just as third Alpharius is considering tactical retreat, William's voice can be heard from his back and he immediately attempts to escape. This was futile as William's large hand grab Alpharius's head and began to crush it like a tin can.

"You may be invisible but you still generate Necron signal thanks to your Xenos shield and that was more than enough for me to find your location. I realized all those terminators were fake as they didn't have the energy shields such as yours. Looks like keeping the best thing for yourself led to your death." William said to the third Alpharius and brought his hands together while holding the head of the Alpharius. Without giving the enemy a chance to speak the last word, William crushes Alpharius's head like a grapefruit.

William instantly confirms the death of the real Alpha Legionnaire as he receives the rewards for defeating the enemy. Previously, when William defeated the six Terminators, all he got from them were simple ammunition and common weapons such as lasguns. This time after seeing his rewards, William smiles behind the Terminator helmet as he saw the sign that says he defeated the Alpha Legion Space Marine and receives rare items.

With all three Alpha Legionnaires defeated, the battle is over and three warriors gather around. Earth of their fight with Alpha Legion was a tough and unique experience as it was an unusual fight. Now one question remains as to where they are as three of them didn't know how far they are transported to or if they are in the same county.

Meanwhile, somewhere beyond time and space,

"Come on, you got to be kidding me, I had him." A young man with glasses said with iteration as his character was killed by the Necron Overlord.

"At least you had a fight. I was literally destroyed by the unknown Living Saint. What the hell is this setting?" A second man, a bit large for the pants he is wearing and chewing on a biscuit said as his figurine got knocked down in the table map.

"I think it went well. I mean we got completely murdered but it was a good attempt and I like it. By the way DM, how did you think of these? We usually play army vs army, not single unit fight." A third player who is much older than the other two asks the DM who planned tonight's game. Tonight was DM's first game with these three players as he joined them last minute in the comic book store.

"Oh, it was something I have been working on and it is still working progress. By the way, call me Mal, I will be here next week for the final battle to end this conflict once and for all."
