Description
Black Templars worked through the destroyed temple, their Exterminates burned the temple and the planet to a crisp. They worked their way to the back of what remained of the Emperors statue, towards a charred inscription. The lead Black Templar stood in front of it and whispered

"And they shall know no fear"

Almost instantly the inscription spilt open; revealing a hidden door way. The Templars continued their way down the corridor, undamaged by the firestorm bombardment, passing effigy to the Chapter of that Tibrus hailed form and the Imperium, until they reached another door, this one opening at their approach. Inside they found several Apothecary’s behind lab desks, Bolters trained on the door way

Their was a second of pause, which seemed to pass a lifetime for sides

The Apothecary's lowered their weapons, initially believing that Orks had worked their way in. They knew what the Templars had come for. The Apothecary furthest away flipped a switch causing the space above the tables to open up, lowering slowly half a dozen large tubes, filled with green liquids which hid the real treasure. Tibrus's entire Chapters Progenoid Glands collected by the Apothecary’s after each Ork wave was expelled from each Space Marine had fallen

This was the life blood of the Chapter; as long as these survived so would Tibrus's Chapter

The Black Templars evacuated the Lab of its occupants and the precious Progenoid Glands and lift-off in their Thunderhawks towards the Strike Cruiser that burned the world; Strike Cruiser Dorns Temple before the entire ship left orbit, makings its way back towards more hospitable Imperium Space

Months went by whilst Tibrus was fitted into his Dreadnought armour. Techpriests laboured day and night until they managed to bring the hulking piece of Imperial Fury online

"I have Awoken"

He was praised as a hero, the Black Templars sung a hymn to his honor but it felt very bitter to Tibrus; the last survivor of his chapter, the only Brother to make it out alive. He had served the Emperor; THEY had served the Emperor just as much as he did. Why didn't they survive? Where they all not devoted servants? Tibrus didn't let this show, easy considering his face was entombed inside an ancient sarcophagus, feet behind sanctified armour. No matter how many times he put aside these thoughts they came back; had the Emperor turned this back on his battle brothers?

Months went by whilst he trained his new tomb until Dorns Temple joined up with the rest of the quadrants Black Templar Crusading Fleet

The Black Templars assigned him 25 Initiates for training, only being months away from facing their Black Carapace implant allowing them to interface with the Space Marines iconic Power Armour. He and his Initiates joined the Black Templar Crusade, securing a drop zone on the planet Amrghos whish had been infested with Tyranids. Tibrus's doctrine of Anti-Infantry weaponry paid off against the Hiveminds Swarms, his duel Assault Cannons made quick work of the vile Hormagaunts en-mass. His Initiates learned much from him about warfare from him and became very like-minded, after all a Dreadnought was a veteran warrior of the Emperor both powerful and wise. Soon they where dishing out Fire superiority with their Bolters that stunned even the Experienced Marines

As the planet reclamation continued, he and his Initiates where assigned a mission into a ravine to investigate some strange readings picked up by Dorns Temple. They ventured into enemy territory, ready at any second to get within battle formation should the swarms arise to their presence. He ventured on until he came to a massive arch carved into the rock face. Cautious, Tibrus ventured inside cautious, 15 of his Initiates guarded the entrance whilst the rest followed his hulking mass further down the corridor until they came into a massive chamber, inscribed with millions of words in some daemon language

In the centre of the room stood a pedestal, light peering down on it from no noticeable source. Tibrus ached closer towards it when a voice rang out from somewhere nearby

"We've been waiting for you Brother Tibrus"

Part 2 behind Brother Tibrus. Will his doubts about the God-Emperor continue? Who is waiting for him within the Inscribed Structure?

EDIT: Before you all mention I know I've forgotten the Ammo Belt on the left Assault Cannon
