Editing Waiting For Godot: 40k Edition (section)

== Imperium Ending ==

Akhentomen looked up. He saw the same yellow in front of him, the yellow of Fokaal's armor.

Fokaal burst through the rubble surrounding the cave mouth, charging as only a dreadnought could.

A chorus of bolter shots and melta fire rang out, as the dreadnought's charge slowed. Akhentomen had died on his stomach, face down, in the dust.

Fokaal had heard the reports. A sufficiently damaged Necron phased out, back to its tomb.

Why was Akhentomen's body still in front of him?

The marines kept pouring fire into the body. A light green haze began to form over it, and then it fizzled out. The metal corpse stayed right there, on the ground.

Whatever it was that made Necrons phase out, it wasn't working anymore. Lord Akhentomen, under the brilliant Nemesor Zahndrekh, of the Gidrim Dynasty, was well and truly dead, in a way few Necrons would ever be.

"Brother Fokaal. It is good to see you are still well. The Emperor protects."

"THE EMPEROR PROTECTS."

"Let's get that arm fixed. The foul xeno must have broken it."

"YES. HE DID."

"At last, back to war!"

"EVEN IN DEATH, I STILL SERVE."
