Octarius Sector

With a twist surprising even the Lord of Change, Ork Weirdboyz used the energy of the Waaagh to disrupt the Tyranid's synaptic link, as Chaos Cultists summoned a Greater Daemon, bringing forth energies of the warp into the equation. The environment stabilized to the most optimal setting, a setting which allowed Tyranid and Ork genes to fuse into a new hybrid race, drawing the attention of the four ruinous powers.

Before the creature can gain consciousness, the Chaos Gods entered the unusually stable realspace and fought each other as they tried their own ways to capture the helpless creature. The Dark Prince, first to arrive, beguiled the unborn creature to lower its guard, allowing the nearer Plague Lord to entangle the Prince as itself drains the creature's lifeforce uncontested, which in turn roused the slower Blood God to anger, prompting it to use its famed Greatsword on the Plague Lord's filthy, diseased arms, which by the way, was embracing the creature. This resulted into a disturbance in the warp, one which was exploited by the Lord of Change, as it used an unknown sorcery to crystallize the creature. The Lord of Change's magic transfigured the creature in a crystal card, and as it was about to grab the card amidst the other gods' bellows, the accident occurred. An untimely wind blew the lightweight card into a dying guardsman's grip. Suddenly, a thick energy mist, denser and richer than the warp used by the Gods appeared and prevented anyone, even the Chaos Gods, from seeing or approaching the area where the dying guardsman lay. After what seems to be forever, the energy mist disappeared along with the dying guardsman and his held card, much to the chagrin of the four Lords of Chaos. As the Chaos Gods roared in extreme anger and frustration, a fifth outline not inferior to the four ruinous powers appeared in the warp, and in the silhouette of what should be its face, there seems to be an unmistakable smirk.
