User blog:Legionaire22/Makin Tarvitz Epic.

Alright, so here is my idea for the Tarvitz story. Tarvitz sees his primarch being changed after the Laerean campaign, and tells Ferrus Manus of it. Manus knows Tarvitz is a honorable figure, and investigates. Meanwhile, Tarvitz tries to convince Fulgrim that something is wrong, not knowing the sword is the source, and Fulgrim, feeling his honor hurt, plunges into a fury and attacks Tarvitz. Tarvitz fights Fulgrim, obviously loosing, and when he recieves a cut that pierces his brestplate he realizes the sword is the source. He gets kicked into a wall and when Fulgrim is about to deal the killing blow, the air crakles alive and infront of them arrives Ferrus Manus with three Morlock Terminators and confronts Fulgrim about it. Fulgrim realizes this and drops to his knees, screaming as the sword tries to take control over Fulgrim, but Manus grabs the blade and snaps it in half.

Fulgrim, ever grateful to Tarvitz for saving him from this fate, promotes Saul to a Lord Commander, something that does not go well with the likes of Eidolon and Lucius, and all is happy and sits down and gets used to it.

BUT NOT FOR LONG! Now comes the Serathi in to wreck the party. The Ultramarines fall blah blah blah and when the Emperor's Children are sent to stop them, Tarvitz orderes all aboard who do not wish to die a glorious death to leave the ship in the Thunderhawks (the Stormbirds now out of use). He crashes the ship into the Serathi World ship, the explosion nearly killing him and his entire company. The survivors fight through Serathi crew who did not expect an assault from a suicidal group of the best damn swordsmen the Emperor has ever seen. They fight too the bridge and Saul challenges the Serathi commander. Fighting fiercly, he finally brings the leader commander down and orderes his men to move. When asked by a younger if they are to make it too the escape pods, Saul states If you cannot die gloriously, live in shame

When none leaves him, they fight to the weapons area, and when roughly fourteen are left alive, Saul places a teleport beacon, beaming his men of without them knowing. He himself slapps all his melta-charges and that of his dead allies onto the nearest explosive weapon, and when the Serathi slip by him and starts to try to disarm the explosives, he fires a shot into the charge and ship goes kabloom.

And Saul Tarvitz is considered the biggest martyr hero next to Guilliman.
