One fine day on some generic as hell jungle planet, there was a big explosion, said explosion was caused by the "Hero" of this story, Robot Henry ,and more accurately him crash landing on this copy-paste jungle world. Now you may wonder what a robot who was created to fight the Nazi menace was doing on this godforsaken planet that was so generic that it didn't have even name that was just a number? well Henry is broke like realy broke, so he had taken a simple job of taking certain package from point A to point B, easy stuff right? Well in most cases yes, but we are talking about time traveling nazi-fighting robot that poped out of a nowhere, with no cash, he was saved from rusting on one planet for the rest of his life by the fact that Die Glocke transported him on some kind of junkyard planet where he build his own spaceship, which was around 50% ducktape, 25% complete junk, 10% of whatever was left from die Glocke,another 10% being some very unstable warp engine, 4% Radioactive waste and 1% car engine. The question wasn't "If" but "When", but at least Henry jumped out of the ship, with parachute, before it struck the land, so he was still alive but stranded, yay. When Henry landed on ground he immediately went to see if there is anything left of his ship, spoiler there wasn't . So after he arrived on the crashsite and looked at all the carnage, all those animals dead, trees broken and environment contamineted he said only thing that could said
- Well it was bound to happen one day.......

The Imperium was once again surveying a unknown planet,searching for signs of their lost frigates.An cruiser remained in orbit carrying part the proud 187th Legion filled with over 450 eager Varanidae soldiers,an small squad was chosen to lead an investigation into a unknown power surge that resulted in a later small scale explosion in the southern quadrant of the planet's southern hemisphere.2 dropships carrying 10 legionnaires was dispatched led by Decanus Skorr Bloodclaw.Clad in their power armor carrying M-2 Rail-Rifles and FS-1 Assault rifles they were ready for anything on the surface of the planet.What they would discover however was something they would never have expected.

The Tempest C-3 Dropships shot across the junkyards found scattered across the jungle world,flying towards the crater that their scanners picked up.They were unaware of Henry's presence and flew past him towards the crater,about 12 km's from Henry's position they landed and small metallic spheres appeared alongside the soldiers who immediately formed squads of 2 and patrolled the area.

"Search the area and determine the cause of the energy surge!" the Decanus would order,the drop-ships departed leaving the legionnaires behind. "Yes Decanus Sir!" the legionnaires would cry out before their patrols began.The metallic spheres would float around the crater collecting data.

When Henry noticed floating metal balls that seem strangely interested in the crater, he did the most logical thing that he could think of, in other words he started throwing rocks at the drones while screaming
- Oi ya little floating bastards leave my junk and go find something for yourselfs ya little thiefs

He then fliped the bird at them

All was quiet until a screeching noise drew the attention of the legionnaires,the Decanus then ordered the apprehension of the rogue robot trying to attack their data spheres.Also for some reason he held out his hand and extended his middle finger for unknown reasons and purposes.That signature was unknown to the Varanus but they determined it to be some form of attack.

Two legionnaires rushed towards the robot,they adjusted the long barrels of their rail-rifles to form bayonets that hummed with plasmic energy,they charged towards the robot hoping to disable it without damaging it.....too much.
This would be the first time the Legion engaged cybernetic forces since the end of the "Great War" and the fall of the Confederacy.

They engaged the robot trying to butt it with their rifle,and thrusting the bayonet at it's legs.

Henry heard legionnaries and turned to face them, rhen he did very logical thing and started charging at them, while also shooting at them from his Thompson, and and while he did all of this he also shouted
- YA WILL NOT GET ME JUNK YA NAZI LOVING LIZARD PEOPLE

The Thompson rounds were absorbed by the low-impact shielding on the legionnaires armor,as each bullet reached the legionnaire caused faint bubble to appear near the point of entry.The 2 legionnaires used their high resistance to the strange machine's weaponry to close the distance,the Decanus removed his spiked helmet and his horned head sported deep scars across his muzzle and one of his canines was missing leaving soft pinkish tissue among his brownish scales.He shoved his weapon into the claws of  one the legionnaires standing next to him,he then removed his gladius from it's hilt,the edges of the blade becoming red with heat.He held it towards the strange robot and shouted.

"Stay back legionnaires,this Zodarrin machine is mine!" he charged keeping his stance low and keeping momentum.

This machine has insulted the Imperium for too long,calling them thieves and lizards {the latter being true but still offensive}. The Decanus swung to his left as he neared the Zodarrin machine.He expected this to be a quick and effortless fight,his pride blinding him from a quick counterattack.

Henry quickly grabed the hand that held gladius, then Henry tried to uppercut that Roman Lizard Person(R.L.P for short) while he done this he again shouted something along the lines of
- SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND YA BASTARD

The Decanus was taken by suprise,the uppercut hit hard underneath his scaled chin and it sent him backwards a few steps.He laughed and spat a bloody tooth towards the ground.He held the gladius towards Henry and spoke eyes glimmering with anger. "Good punch Zodarrin...I haven't had a proper battle since the skirmish at Kra'toa back in Sigma Draconus,but then again those insurgents lacked your..... vigor.

The Decanus lunged towards Henry aiming for his shoulders in hopes of disabling his limbs.Using his free hand to try and grab Henry's right arm trying to pin him down.He knew this machine was strong probably as strong as an Varanus,he thought still feeling the punch from earlier.

The legionnaires stood around the small duel,their weapons ready in-case the robot tried to run or go for a weapon.While it was not Legionary protocol the Decanus did indirectly challenge the robot,and by the ancient Varanus code of warriors the legionnaires had to allow the duel to continue unchallenged.They stood in awe,gasping at each thrust and punch the two duelists exchanged.   

The robot lunged towards the Decanus,the gladius missing his shoulder but scraping his left arm,he did not account that the robot would attack so aggressively.He was taken by surprise as the robot hugged him,then he realized the robot was using his momentum to throw him to the ground...Which he did.

The Decanus hit the dusty ground his gladius falling next to him,he breathed heavily before standing up hissing at the Zodarrin machine. "How dare you!" he charged at the robot with his armored claws swinging his tail towards Henry's left leg.

The Decanus was unaware that one of the data spheres was watching the fight,transmitting the duel to the cruiser in orbit where his superiors watched the fight with full interest.


{Meanwhile on the cruiser}
"The Zodarrin machine is impressive indeed Admiral,and while the Decanus is humiliating the Imperium for being so stubborn in his attacks,we are learning much from the duel,if the machine does win the duel it has every right to it's survival and the respect of the Varanus,however this remains to be seen he is still nothing more but a machine and if there is something we learned from the "great war" is that machines have little sense for honor." {Fades back to fight}

Henry seeing the charging lizard, he himself charged at his enemy and jumped, using the momentum of his charge and jump to make his punch, that much more painful, oh BTW he also tries punching lizards face whiloe he is falling on him, and this time he screams
- WORLDSTAR

The machine jumped and came crashing down on the Decanus,he fell to the ground and the duel concluded.

The machine stood over the scarred Decanus,according to the ancient code of Varanidae warriors this machine had to decide the fate of the veteran legionnare.

However for Decanus Skorr Bloodclaw this loss was too much to bare,he would be humiliated and probably sacked from the legion for losing so easily to....a machine.So against ancient law and custom he decided to use his tail to throw the machine off balance,which he did and the machine came crashing down next to him.

He climbed on him and used all his strength to pin him down,drool dripped from his mouth as he opened it to reveal a wicked smile,he started to claw away at the machine and his clothing......Then his slitted eyes caught sight of the reactor encased in steel and glass bolted deep into his chest.He looked back to the machine and smiled before he began to claw away at the reactor unaware that damaging it would end all their lives.....

The Decanus held Henry down firmly,his attempts to break free slowing down his attack on his chest.He was too blinded by rage to listen to reason his pride overtaking his training and discipline.

His eyes carried death as he looked to Henry and smiled. "DIE FIL..." He fell to the ground as an legionarre using the butt of his M-2 rifle hit him hard over the head dazing him.Another legionarre stood next to the stunned Decanus his rifle aiming down towards him. "Forgive me Decanus sir! But the machine won and your pride blinds your judgement." The legionarre clad in power armour,face hidden under a helm of steel held his right clawed hand out to Henry.Muffled chatter could be heard from his helm that indicated some form of radio chatter.

"The duel is yours Zodarrin,now if you would kindly allow us to escort you to the Lord-General,he wants to personally congratulate you."

Henry grabed the hand of his saviour, and pulled himself out of the ground
- Thanks mate, I thought I was goner , and somebody wants to congratulate me? ok I guess I will come, but before that I need to do one thing


Then Henry started streching.

Two legionnaires picked up the disgraced Decanus and escorted him to a squad of legionnaires standing next to the vast crater.The legionnaire who addressed Henry watched as the machine stretched itself,this was strange to the legionnaire "Why would a machine stretch itself like a organic?" he thought.He picked up the Decanus's gladius and walked back to Henry.

Within minutes the dropships appeared and circled the crater before landing where they previously dropped the legionnaires.The legionnaires began to board the C-3 dropships each one taking hold of one the pivoted grab handles bolted to the roof of the dropship.The dropship carrying the Decanus and the squad that accompanied him flew off towards the clouded sky.The other dropship waited for Henry to board."Make sure you take all your belongings as well Zodarrin." the legionnaire said holstering his rifle and waiting for Henry.

The dropship shook as it began to rise from the ground,it's engines hummed with energy as it flew upwards towards the sky.One legionnaire held a firm grim on Henry in-case he slipped or fell out of the dropship.The legionnaires used their power armour to magnetically secure their feet with the dropship's flooring.The ship flew above the clouds revealing a sea of clouds and mist. "Beautiful isn't it?" said one of the steel clad legionnaires.

The ship approached a large cruiser and circled it.After about 2 minutes the dropship headed for a large hangar door built on the side of the ship.It opened and revealed an large hangar filled with about 15 of the same dropships Henry was on now and also 4 strange fighter craft of some sort.

The ship started it's descend to the hanger floor.

The hanger doors sealed and the room pressurized with a gust of air.The legionnaires climbed out of the dropship and headed for one of the arched doors.Before Henry could follow two Varanus crew members dressed in shining grey jumpsuits and some sort of rubber boots approached Henry,one was fiddling with a sort of holographic tablet while the other smiled and spoke. "Welcome Zodarrin-Ka,to the IMS Zaraktul of the 4th Fleet." His eyes scanned the machine from top to bottom before he continued. "Lord-General Silvaar awaits,if you would kindly give any weaponry to the legionnaire over there.He pointed to a lone legionnaire who guarded a small door next to an large arched doorway. "Don't worry your possessions would be guarded as if they belonged to the Emperor." he assured the machine and stood waiting for his response.

Henry looked at him with suspicion but he relented and went to give his guns to the guy. "I mean what could go wrong" He thought to himself, as he walked towards the guard

The legionnaire was half asleep but immediately stood on attention as he heard the sound of someone approaching,he was however surprised to see the machine holding out weapons to him. "Ahh you are the Zodarrin-Ka the Legate spoke of,yes yes" He tapped with his claws on a small keypad which opened the steel doors to a well kept storage.Inside was an empty weapon rack,boxes and an gladius. "Please place your weapons in whatever why you see fit upon the racks.If you wish I can request that our engineers clean and oil your weaponry free of charge,you may recover your weaponry upon your leave."

The legionnaire stood watching the hanger.His clawed hands held behind his back.

The legionnaire watched as Henry returned to the naval crew.He then returned his focus to guarding the door.

"Ah everything is in order.Please follow me and don't wander off,for your own safety."

The 2 crewmen led Henry through hallways filled with other reptilian Varanidae rushing from one end to the other,working on holographic tablets or clad in armour patrolling the large hallways leading to hundreds of rooms.The crew men led Henry all the way to one of the doors at the northern edge of the ship,this room was guarded by two legionnaires clad in white armour and carried strange but deadly pikes that hummed with energy.

"This is your stop,the Lord-General will be with you shortly please make yourself at home."

The doors opened to reveal a room draped with red and gold curtains.It was a large room,with 4 soft looking ottoman seats surrounding a large circular unlit hearth with small tables bolted against it containing plates of strange fruits.Against the wall stood many swords and spears,some chipped while other pristine.Near the left end of the room were many scrolls and maps lain upon the marble-looking metal table.The floor was adorned with red and gold carpets that contained an symbol of a burning star.

The white clad legionnaires kept watching Henry waiting for him to enter the room.

Henry entered the room
- Hmm quite nice I must say, though personaly i prefer red,white and blue color scheme
