Editing Astartes - a fan made animation (section)

==Episode 5==
The 5th episode is the longest (and most glorious) episode at a shocking 7 minutes and 33 seconds but has a lot of unclear and cryptic questions, some of which were answered in an AMA the creator had on Reddit. The scene opens with a strange orb floating in chains with an Imperial Psyker wearing robes of the [[Inquisition]] psychically monitoring it while a Retributor veteran and a [[Beakie]] marine standby. The scene cuts to the OG squad of marines, walking down a corridor and passing by a massive golden construct in the shape of a man, obviously still under construction. The marines enter a large room and find another orb unchained and illuminated by a central light source. The orb attempts to resist the marines approaching by unleashing some psychic waves but the marines give absolutely no fucks.  The marines take out some bladed energy draining devices and stab into the orb. Back with our inquisitorial friend, he can hear the chained orb speaking to the unchained orb through the [[warp]]. 

''"...no escape. I have failed brother."''<br />
''"We have all failed. The Astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal."''<br />
''"Impossible, (I) will never survive."''<br />
''"You must! Take them!*"''<br />

*May also say "Take the Alpha!", referring to the inquisitor psyker, meaning he's pretty powerful.

The psyker immediately warns the veteran marine of impending doom and this break in concentration results in a failed Stealth roll as it draws the attention and the words ''"At last"'' from the chained orb before [[Daemon| his mind ends up becoming overcome by whatever warp monster decided to eat it]] (or more likely the [[xenos]] within the ball did it). As is the way with [[Grimdark]], the veteran Retributor gives him a George Foreman right cross before Beakie Marine dumps a handful of bolt rounds into him for good measure, although the guy whose soul was being incinerated was probably pretty grateful for it. Back with the squad, the orb activates, reveals an absolute WTF of a creature, and begins absorbing the marines into itself while all of them struggle in vain. [[Brother-Sergeant|Sergeant]] of the squad pulls out his trusty [[plasma]] pistol and.... blows off his own hand trying to wound the orb. A+ for effort I guess. Once all the marines have been absorbed, we see the xenos creature living inside the orb is some tentacle monster and has teleported them into the warp with all 5 marines constrained by the tentacles. Almost immediately, some shadowy warp creature attacks the tentacle xenos and it fades to black. Sergeant Handless suddenly appears in a desert environment surrounded by strange skeletal statues with horns that tower above him, some flashes of light appearing on stone platforms similar to the one he is standing on (presumably the rest of the squad being teleported in). 

At the end of the video, we are treated to a quick action sequence of another [[homebrew]] chapter "Death Hands", fighting an off-screen enemy and struck on his [[pauldrons|pauldron]] by some needle weapon (Perhaps [[Shuriken]]s?). A [[Predator Tank|predator]] rolls into frame and unleashes some glory for the Emperor. Also shown in the ending title screen are [[Angels Sanguine]] and another homebrew chapter "[[Star Dragons]]". 

===Extra Information from AMA===
* The xenos were supposed to be an original creation, one half of a now-extinct xenos/human empire. Similarities to the [[Yu'Vath]] were undeniable but coincidental, due to "lack of research." 
* The orbs around the xenos were originally designed to protect them while traveling in the warp. Hence the one who "broke free" was eaten by some creature lurking there. 
* The unfinished giant metal construct was designed as a more preferable alternative to the orb for the xenos to inhabit. 
* The one-armed psykers belonged to the inner cabal of the rebellion in cahoots with the being in the orb. 
* The planet that Sergeant Lefty was teleported to was confirmed as a planet once used by the ancient xenos.
* Imperials had already captured two of the xenos and were using them to hunt any others they could discover, to learn more of their origins (to kill them), and how far they might have already spread, subverting other planets/systems.
