Lysander plunged into the fray directly, fighting through Possessed Marines and Obliterators and engaging Shon'tu in personal combat. Brutal, bloody close quarters-combat erupted all aboard the station as the Imperial Fists attempted to hold back the Traitor forces. Shon'tu by this point had boarded the Endeavour of Will in a Dreadclaw assault, leading his best host of Iron Warriors, Possessed Chaos Space Marines, and Obliterators personally. However the Daemon-corrupted Grand Cruiser spat out giant tendrils, pulling the Imperial Fist Strike Cruiser closer and consuming it with a gigantic Daemonic maw which grew from its bow while some of the crew managed to flee the ship in escape pods. The Siege of Malebruk and Ferrous Malice engaged in a vicious duel, with the Siege of Malebruk outgunned but nonetheless gaining the advantage of the Ferrous Malice. Lysander arrived aboard the Endeavour of Will to lead the defense.
Meanwhile, Captain Lysander answered the two Starforts distress calls from his Strike Cruiser Siege of Malebruk.
However with the help of Imperial Fists Techmarine Hestion, the Starforts Machine Spirit managed to defeat the Daemon-virus. As the Machine spirit of the Bastion Inviolate was consumed by Velthinar, Shon'tu attempted to repeat the process on the Endeavor of Will. The virus itself was the product of the Daemon Velthinar Silverspine, a creature who Shon'tu had bound to his service. The Warsmiths first maneuver was to infect the Bastion Inviolate with a data-daemon, a Warp-spawned computer virus which infected the Machine Spirit of the Starfort and overrode much of its support systems, disrupting weapons and sending many of its crew through airlocks.
The attack by Shon'tu was led by his personal Grand Cruiser, the Ferrous Malice. The Battle for the Endeavour of Will was a battle between the Iron Warriors Warband of Warsmith Shon'tu and the Imperial Fists Starforts of Endeavour of Will and Bastion Inviolate in 998.
