"And They Shall Know No ED"

(It´s acctually: "And They Shall Know No Fear")

>Secondus 2, Tower of Despair, Genestealer spawning chamber<

"Ahh, Magus Grimjaw. I have a little mission for your minions." Lord Kharn said as he entered the spawning chamber.
He was walking in ancle deep, green muck. It´s acctually the fluids from the Genestealer eggs.
"What may that be?" the Magus said and looked up from a small collection of eggs.
"It´s..." Kharn began. "Say, what are these?"
"It´s a new kind of Genestealer I´m breeding. They´re twice as deadly."
"That fits perfectly in with your mission." Kharn said.
"Which is?"
"I want three, no make that six, of this new type of Genestealer. What do you call them?"
"As they´re a mutated form of Genestealer, I think I´m gonna call them Xenomorph´s."
"Why Xenomorph´s?" Lord Kharn asked.
"They are morphed versions of Genestealers and the project was named "Project Xeno"."
"That makes sense. Now, back to your mission. I want you to send them through the warp-passage to Terra."
"Why, milord?"
"Because your last Genestealers didn´t kill the Space Marine leaders, that´s why!!" Kharn roared.
"Hey, there´s no idea of blowing your already short fuse on me, Lord Kharn." Grimjaw said. "Remember that you´re a marked one now. Anything like that could set the deamon free."
"Yes, you´re right." Kharn said as he calmed down. "I have to be careful."
"Back to buisness. Why six? There´s only three Space Marine leaders of what I remember."
"I think they went back into time and recalled the Space Outlaws."
"Hey, the Space Outlaws are no problems now when you´re a marked Champion of Khaine, huh?"
"That´s the problem. You think of them as Space Marines. Space Outlaws follow no Codex of Honour. Space Marines does. And that´s what makes Space Marines vulnrable. They most follow their Codex of Honour and the Imperial Law too. Space Outlaws follow no laws at all. That´s why they´re called Space Outlaws."
"I get it. Six Xenomorph´s it is. It´ll take a couple of hours though. And I´ll need six Guardsmen too."
"And I think I don´t want to know why." Kharn said and left.

(If anyone has seen Aliens, you know why it´s called Xenomorph and why Kharn doesn´t want to know what the six Guardsmen are for.In one word: Facehuggers)

>Earth, the cul-de-sac dumpster, 8.00 a.m<

"Your armour looks better now then the last time I saw it." Eddy said as he saw the armour of the Space Marine leaders.
"It´s been repaired a couple of times." McGranth replied.
"And what about our armour?" Ed asked.
"You´ll get it when the time is right." McKenzie answered as he took a swing with his Forcesword.
"And that time is?" Eddy asked.
"When we can´t defend ourselves and your planet any longer." Charleston said.
"That´s gonna take forever!" Eddy shouted.
"Do you really want to see the teeth of Death so quickly, rookie?" McGranth snapped back.
"No, but..." Eddy began.
"But what?" McGranth asked.
"What he really wants is to show off before the other kids." Double D said softly as he was handed McKenzie´s Forcesword, which made Double D fall to the ground because of it´s weight.
"Sorry for that, Double D." McKenzie said and helped Double D to his feet.
McKenzie shot a look at McGranth just to see that he was giving Eddy a real rating.
"You may under no circumstances show the other kids in this cul-de-sac your armour!!" McGranth yelled at poor Eddy.
"Seems like Eddy gets what he deserves." Double D said quietly to Mckenzie and the other two.
"I don´t know." McKenzie said. "I think McGranth should take it easy with your friend."

"Do you get that!?" McGranth said as he ended the rating.
"Yeah, I belive I do." Eddy said with a voice that declared his ego had bursted like a baloon with too much air in it.
"Take it easy with the youngster, McGranth." McKenzie said as he came up to McGranth.
"But he was going to.." McGranth began.
"Yes, he was "going to". But he didn´t do it. Right, Commander?" McKenzie said with that soft voice that only he and Double D could create.
"Yeah, you´re right. As usual." McGranth let go of Eddy´s arms, which he had a firm grip around when he gave Eddy the rating, just to make sure Eddy looked him in the eyes.
"Kids." McGranth sighed as he turned his back on Eddy.
"He sure gave you something to think about, huh Eddy?" Double D said as he walked up behind Eddy.
"That was the first time in my life I´ve felt like having no ego at all, ya know."
"Well, the simple reason to that he gave you a rating is that you wanted to show off."
"I won´t do it again. I promise. At least not when it comes to Space Outlaw armour."

Growl!

Everybody looked at Ed. He just pulled up his shirt and said:
"Hoh, I´m hungry!"
"Erm, you three can go have breakfast," McKenzie said. "While we guard the Warp-passage."
"Fine with me." Eddy said.
"Me too." Double D said and added "And not a word from you Ed."
"Ok." Ed answered. "But I was only going to say; "Me three"."
"That´s my point." Double said as he, Eddy and Ed left the Space Marine leaders at the dumpster.

"They seemed much more mature when I last saw them." McGranth said with a bothered voice.
"Maybe it beacause you, me and Charleston here are so much older then they are." McKenzie answered.
"Yeah, almost 400 years older."
"Should we tell them that Space Marines can live for almost a millenia?" Charleston asked.
"Don´t think so Ed." McKenzie said and shot a look to where they had come through the Warp.
"All we can do now is wait for those Genestealers." McGranth said and sat down on the ground.

>Secondus 2, Tower of Despair, warp-chamber<

"Here you have your Xenomorphs, Lord Kharn." Grimjaw said as he entered the chamber.
Behind Grimjaw, six night black, long tailed, drooling Xenomorphs stood. They were about 1,80 metres high and had eyes that glowed with a eerie light.
Kharn looked at the six beasts and their creator. Kharn found nothing to say, but finally he said:
"Grimjaw, you´ve never told me how you turned into what you are and why you hate the Space Marines."
"If you want to know, I´ll tell you." Grimjaw replied. "I wasn´t born like this. I was forced to merge with a Genestealer after a serious spine wound. To be more exact, Grand Commander McGranth caused it. He shot me in the back when I tried to escape from the sewers of the city of Hades. He thought he´d killed me, but I injected Genestealer DNA in me to survive. I´ve hated Grand Commander McGranth ever since because he did so to me."
"That only explain your looks. What about your hatred towards Space Marines?" Kharn asked.
"I don´t really want to tell, but I´ll do it anyway. Master Lexicanum McKenzie is my brother."
"What?"
"Yes, we had both psycic powers, but he learnt to control his before me. I was taken by the Hive Mind and used as a Magus. That crushed all my dreams of becoming a proud Space Marine Legionnaire. He climbed in the ranks and was finally a Master Lexicanum. I hate him because he got to be a Space Marine and I couldn´t. I fled from this solar system and met you. It was after the Battle of Armageddon and you had just come out of the Warp."
"And the rest is history." Kharn said.
"The only thing that makes my life worth living is that I can create and destroy lives as I wish."
"Grimjaw," Kharn said. "If you want, you can follow your Xenomorphs through the warp and get a chance to kill both your brother and Grand Commander McGranth."
"Of course I want to." Grimjaw answered.
Lord Kharn smiled behind the mask.
"Good." he said. "Draconis! Open the gate!!"
"Yes milord." the answer came from Draconis who just had finished recalling the coordinates.
With a metallic sound, the Warp-gate opened and Magus Grimjaw entered, followed by his trusty Xenomorph´s.
The gate closed.
"Is the Sybarites ready, Archon Draconis?" Kharn asked after a couple of minutes.
"They´re waiting in the offering-chamber as you ordered, milord."
"Good. Get the Axe of Khaine, I´ll be waiting by the Piedistal of Bloodshed."
"Yes, sire." Draconis said and rushed off.
Kharn in turn, walked towards the southern part which had once been the Imperial Ecclisiary.

>Earth,cul-de-sac dumpster, 9.00 a.m<

The warp-gate got visible.
"Commander." McKenzie said with a low and stressed voice. "Get up and look behind you."
McGranth jumped to his feet (partly helped by the gyro-stabilators in the leg-armour) and turned round. He drew his power-axe and the Storm-bolter(a twin-barreled version of the bolter).
McKenzie drew his Forcesword and focused a small amount of energy in it, while Charleston readied his Plasma pistol and drew his power-sword.

The three first Xenomorph´s were shot to bits on two red seconds as they came out. The other three dodged the shots and attacked feriously. The Space Marines split up and took each a Xenomorph with them. When the Space Marines were gone, Magus Grimjaw stepped out of the warp-gate.
He smiled as he saw Grand Commander McGranth shoot the Xenomorph to bits.
"You´ll pay for what you did to me." Grimjaw thought and attacked McGranth.
McGranth had just left his attention from the dead Xenomorph, when he felt a surge of pain through his body. Grimjaw had used his whip on him and the whip had hit him at the spot in the belly were the wound was. The wound sprung open again.
McGranth screamed as the whip found it´s mark once again.
"Hah!" Grimjaw said with a grin. "How does my revenge feel, McGranth? It hurts doesn´t it, Space Marine?"
"How did you know about my belly wound?" McGranth panted as he went down onto his knees.
"I saw when the Genestealer attacked you in the palace. I share their thoughts with mine."
Grimjaw charged the whip with psycic energy and lashed out with it again. This time, it hit the back of McGranth, but the pain weren´t less because of that. McGranth bellowed out another hideous scream.

This scream alarmed both Charleston and McKenzie, who both had finished off their Xenomorph´s without any problems. McKenzie immediatly realized what was going on. (He´s a Master Lexicanum after all)
He picked up the three crystal balls containing the Space Outlaw armour and weaponry and gave them to Charleston.
"Here, go find the Space Outlaws and give them these. Their time has come."
"What are you going to do?" Charleston asked.
"I´m going to save our Commander." McKenzie said and rushed off.
Charleston looked at the blue crystal balls in his hand and ran away towards Ed´s house.

"Had enough yet, Space Marine?" Grimjaw said and grinned evily against the now badly wounded McGranth.
"Let him be, George." McKenzie said as he walked up behind Grimjaw, Forcesword unsheated.
"How many times, Edward, do I have to tell you..." Grimjaw said and charged his fist with psychic energy. "Do not call me that!!"
The psychic-ball came flying against McKenzie, who just knocked it away with a simple stroke of his Forcesword.
"And how many times do I have to tell you, Grimjaw, that hatred minimizes the effects of psi-powers."
The two psychic titans stood before each other.
McKenzie; proud and righteous Space Marine Lexicanum,
and Grimjaw; sinister and evil Hive Magus. "Let´s do this as we did when we were young." McKenzie said.
"You first, my dear brother." Grimjaw insisted.
"No, let´s start at the same time."
"Fine with me." Grimjaw said and unleashed a green bolt of psi-lightning.
McKenzie dodged the bolt and answered the attack with a blue psi-bolt. Grimjaw pulled his whip and lashed at the bolt, that disappeared into thin air.
"Missed me." he said and gave McKenzie a taste of the whip.
McKenzie got ensnared into the whip and was pulled to his knees by an electrical shock, that was sent through the whip by Grimjaw.
"Now you have joined your Commander as you wanted. Happy now?"
Grimjaw retracted the whip and gave McGranth and McKenzie a beat each from the trainers´ whip.
"I belive this story will end like Kharn said. I get to kill both of you."
McKenzie just gave McGranth a tired look. He knew he´d failed to protect his Commander.

"Oooh, Ed. You took the last of the milk." Double D said as he turned the milk-package upside-down, only to find out it was empty.
"Sorry for that Double D." Ed said with a mouthful of Chunky Puffs.
"Doesn´t matter. I´ll make myself a sandwich."
"That´s not a very good breakfast, Double D." Eddy said. "You told me so once."
"Yeah, Chunky Puffs is way better." Ed agreed.
"Don´t tell me you only have Chunky Puffs for breakfast?" Double D said as he came back to the table with his sandwiches.
"What´s wrong with only Chunky Puffs?" Eddy asked.
"It´says here on the package," Double D said and grabbed the Chunky Puffs´ package
"A part of a good and nutritious breakfast. Part of a breakfast."
"So what do you usually have for breakfast, Double D?"
"Except for the Chunky Puffs I have a fruit, juice and a pair of sandwiches."
There was a moment of silence. Finally Double D said:
"What are you looking at, Eddy?"
"I was wondering how you can keep slim with such a breakfast?"
"That´s the fine part of my breakfast. Contains almost no fat at all." Double D said and took a bite from one of his sandwiches.
Just then, Charleston came bursting in. The shoulder-pads took parts of the wall with them.
"Drop whatever you´re doing becuase your time has come."
"Wahoo!" Eddy shouted in joy. "Heared that Ed?"
"Yep."
"Double D?"
"May I please finish my sandwiches?"
"Yeah, if you hurry up." the reply came from Charleston.
"So.." Eddy said. "Where´s our armour?"
"Here." Charleston said and revealed the three crystal balls.
"What are those?" Ed asked.
"I belive our armour and weaponry is being kept in those balls with Warp-technology." Double D said with his mouth full of sandwich.
"Right Lexicanum." Charleston answered.
He gave Ed,Edd n Eddy their respective balls.
"How do we get into the armour?" Eddy asked.
"Just crush the balls against the floor...." Charleston began.
"And technology will do the rest." Double D ended the sentence without really thinking of what he had done.
"How did he do that?" Eddy said.
"He´s a Lexicanum. He can read thoughts." Charleston replied.
"Oh yeah, now I remeber. He can feel the presence of stuff too."
"Okay guys, on three. One....two...three!"
The Eds crushed the balls into the kitchen floor and was swept into a white and blinding light.
