[u]Bloodwrath, General Quarters, Time Unknown.[/u]
A loud stomping was heard throughout the area of the General Quarters nearest to the entrance. Some might of thought it someone in a bulky suit of power armor, others maybe a machine, both theories were partially right yet both were wrong. The hulking black mass of a Black Templars Dreadnought came in through the entrance, a little Ribbon shaped design with the word "Virtus" in black text on the sarcophagus.
The mighty Dreadnought spoke with a loud, confident, yet weary voice, "I HAVE COME IN SEARCH OF MY BATTLE BROTHERS." It said.

[i]Many people had heard the stomping, though only few bothered to check it out. One of those few was a Black Templar, much like the Dreadnought. Before Virtus, stood a 7'4" Space Marine, dressed from head to toe in black Power Armour, several ribbons and stuff decorating it. In the Templar's hands was a Bolter, bound to the Marine by a black - much like the Black Templar's armour - Devotion Chain. The visor of the Templar's helmet seemed to shine an eerie red.[/i]
-
Virtus approached the Battle-Brother, it's huge Assault Cannon scaring away anyone else. He stopped a few feet away, not saying anything, possibly waiting for the Templar to speak up.
-
[i]The Templar stared up at the Dreadnought, head tilt slightly to the right. It seemed as if the Space Marine was waiting for the Dreadnought to speak up - but when he didn't, the Templar decided to do it himself,[/i] "Hello, Battle-Brother! I did not expect to meet such a great warrior on this day."
-
"HELLO TO YOU TOO. YOU ARE OF MY CHAPTER, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WITHIN OUR RANKS HERE?"
-
"Sadly, we are the only ones in this place, as far as I know, Venerable Dreadnought. Though, this ship is very giant, so there's still a chance of others being here."
-
"VERY WELL. WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME IN FINDING MORE OF US?"
-
"Of course I will, Venerable Dreadnought. But first, mighty warrior.. Let us introduce ourselves. I am Skatai Neotar of the Black Templars."
-
"I AM VIRTUS. OF THE SAME CHAPTER."
-
"It is my greatest honour to meet you, Virtus.. Now that that's done, let us go, shall we?"
-
"YES, LET US GO AND FIND OUR BROTHERS." It started to turn around.
-
"Indeed, mighty Venerable Dreadnought. The glory of the God-Emperor, and numbers will keep us safe in this truly terrible place... Though, a warrior such as yourself greatly helps the safety here," [i]The Templar silently said, looking at the weaponry on the Dreadnought.[/i]
-
"IT IS NOT JUST ME THAT WILL GIVE US BETTER CHANCES OF SURVIVING, BUT BOTH OF US TOGETHER."
-
"I, however, am not the one who's armed with an Assault Cannon, mighty Dreadnought, though I must admit that I can hold my own.."

-
"Again, I must agree with you, wise Dreadnought.. We are both trained for these things; we shall live to tell the tale about this place, and how truly terrible it is."
-
"DO NOT MAKE SUCH ASSUMPTIONS, I ONCE THOUGHT SAYING SIMILAR THINGS AND BEING CONFIDENT IN THEM HELPED; I WAS WRONG. IT LEADS TO DISAPPOINTMENT."
-
[i]The Black Templar slowly nodded in agreement, Bolter raised a little because I'm half sure that they're outside the save haven and a Bloodthirster might pop up out of nowhere.[/i] "I'm sorry to ask, Venerable Dreadnought... but is that how you ended up being entombed?"
-
Virtus was silent for a moment, before speaking. "THE DECLATES CRUSADE. THERE WAS AN ORK INVASION IN THE DECLATES SYSTEM. US TEMPLARS AND THE CRIMSON FISTS FOUGHT IN MIXED SQUADS, THE UNITY AIDED IN OUR VICTORY, BUT AT THE COST OF HEAVY LOSSES. HALF OF MY SQUAD WAS TAKEN OUT BY INCOMING FIRE. THE REST COVERED TWO OF US, INCLUDING ME, WHILE WE MOVED TO BETTER COVER. THAT PLAN FAILED, AND WE WERE LEFT THERE TO DIE. THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER."
-
[i]The Templar gave a few nods, staying silent for a bit, his heavy footsteps resonating through the hallways.[/i] "The Declatus Crusade.. Yes, I remember.. My squad made it out with minimal causalities and wounded, luckily." [i]The Marine said before going silent once again, staying like that for a moment as he thought about the past, about what the Dreadnought had said. Eventually, the "man" spoke again, voice rather soft,[/i] "I am sorry to hear that, Virtus, truly."
-
"NOW, BACK TO THE CURRENT OBJECTIVE."
-
[i]The Templar nodded once again, continuing to speed walk alongside his Dreadnought buddy.[/i]
