This is a story set on a planet wich is covered by tundra. It tells the story of a seargent in the 53rd Ligt Infantry Guard Regiment and thier struggle with loyalty, jealousy and Tyranids...

P.S This is only the first chapter

OBJECTIVES


Seargent Regal looked up from his map to the darkened red sky. It wasnt allways like this. The sky use to be a wondefull blue.
"Are you listening seargent?" Regal looked up the bearded face of luietenant Figgs. "Yes sir" Regal said, embarrased to be caught day dreaming. " OK Regal, you and youre sqaud are to clear these three houses near the Southern Plaza.Is this youre first combat mision.?" the luietenant said staring at Regal in a fierce way. " Yes sir"."Well be carefull with these nids." said the luietenant sincerely. "Yes sir". Regal walked out the hq tent in a rush. He was greeted by corporal Vial. Regal and vial grew up in the north marshes together and joined the 53rd together as well. "Whats the objective sarge?" asked Vialo in his happy-go-lucky voice. "Clear the three houses near the southern plaza" said Regal sadly. "Wait a minute. Isnt that the area HQ sent three sqauds of Stormtroopers to last week and the all got destroyed by some monstrositie?" inquired Vial. "Yeah" said Regal. "Bugger.Ok ill get everyone saddelled up." said Vial. " Thanks corporal.Ill meet you guys at the barracks in 30 minutes." said Regal just before Vial opened the door the 45th sqaudron barracks. Regal looked up at the red sky. Why us?

2cnd chapter yeah!!!!

TAKING HOUSE

The screeching of basalisk shells could be heard overhead.45th sqaud was formed in a circle to the north of the plaza. "OK,men. This is it.Artillery is providing us barrage cover.When the smoke settles in Corporal Vial will take Ulof and Higgs with the heavy bolter and take house 1. Deckson, you take Hacksaw,Tango and Seren and capture house 3. Ill take Gills with the flamer and Billdon and converge on house 2. Rodge?" yelled Sgt Regal over the sound of the barrage. "Yes sarge" confirmed the sqaud in unison. The deafening sound of the artillery was replaced by the sound of rain falling onto the plaza.The smoke started rising from the shells on the plaza floor." Go,go,go". The sqaud jumped up and broke into thier different section. Regal slung his lasgun over his shoulder and sprinted to the 2nd house. Gills and Billdon were right behind his." Left side door breach. Hurry up." The 3 gaurdsmen formed up on the left side of the door. Regal could feel his fatigues getting heavier as it absorbed the rain. He pulled his lasgun in front of him while Billdon planted the explosive charge on the door. There was a eery silence as they waited for the explosion. The door blew in with a loud bang. Regal and Billdon slidd into the building and let of a few rounds."Clear".Gills was the last into the room. Regal looked around the room.Pictures hung on the wall of the family that use to live here. He looked at a picture of a teenage girl and thinking of his little sister back home. Tiers started forming in his eyes. "What now sarge?" said Billdon who was standing in the corner. "Billdon take the left side of the hallway while Gills takes the right side. Ill clear upstairs"commanded Regal. "Rodger" yelled the 2 privates as the entered the hallway and turned to thier sections. Regal started walking up the stair while looking down his sights. He looked into the attic and was astonished at what he found. Sleeping thier on the fllor was a Gaunt. Thsi was the first time Regal has seen one except in the field manuals. He put his fingered on the trigger of his lasgun. The Gaubt suddenly opened his eyes but before it could do anything 3 lasgun round fried its brain. Regal ran downstairs and fromed up with Billdon and Gills. "Anything up there sarge" aked Gills happily. "Nothing" replyed Regal. If his new that thier were Nids in the area who new what would happen. Static started blowing over Regal headset. "Regal here" answered he." Sarge, its Vial.We formed up with Deckson and are now waiting back at the plaza.Nothing to report except thiers a Captain Cherry here with a Valkyrie saying its urgent." said vile over the static of the radio.
" Thanks Vial. Be there soon, Regal out". said Regal ending the conversation. Regal,Gills and Billdon sprinted back to the plaza. A man was leaning on a valkyrie. When he saw Regal he stood up.He ordered them inside the Valkyrie. Vial's section and Deckson's section were allready sitting down. The Valkyrie started lifting up." Whats the deal sir." asked Regal annoyingly." Look out the window Seargent." replyed the Captain. Regal turned around and looked out the window. As far as the eye could see smoke and flames filled the land and sky. Harlulia 5 was burning down. Regal looked down at the ground about 1 kilometre from the plaza below.All he could see was a nerverending tide of Tyranids. "Emporer save us" exclaimed the seargent.

Red snow


"What the hell happened?"asked Regal while looking down at the burnt and plummaged city.It was snowing and the Valkyrie was zooming towards the north of the city."They opened a bunch of hell spawned holes in the ground and overwelmed our forces in a few minutes. Only 38% of our forces survived and most are currently at base line Bravo while some,like us, are still on route." came the saddened reply from Captain Cherry.
"Which regiments were in the city at the time?" asked Regal
"Only the 53rd LI Regiment"
"Where were the 64th Armoured and the 48th Airborne? Why werent they helping?"
"The 64th and the 48th are this planets best regiments.We cant let them get destroyed"
"So you let a whole regiment burn just because we dont have tanks or can jumps from planes. Yes we are not as good as them but we are still Imperial Gaurd and we still serve the Emporer." said a furious Seargent Regal.
"Stand dwon Seargent, that an order." came the reply from the Captain.
"SEARGENT!!!.Come look at this Sarge." yelled corporal Vial from a window. Regal ran over to the window.He looked out at it and saw in the horizon about a dozen or so projectiles moving at incredible speed through the sky.
"Incoming spore mines.Grab on to something!!!" yelled Regal over the roars of the engines. 2 seconds later the whole Valkyrie was struck and followed by a massive explosion.The Valkyrie started spinning in circles.With a loud bang another spore mine explosion tore of the back of the Valkyrie.Captain Cherry looked up.All of a sudden his body swung out the plane.Regal could hear him scream all the way to the ground. Another explosion rocketed near the cockpit. The schockwave blasted Regal a bit. Because of this he hit his head on the wall. Everything turned black..........

"Seargent.Sarge. Sarge can you hear me?"
Regal looked up at the smiling face of Corporal Vial. Vial stretched out his hands and helped Regal up.they then hugged eachother. Vial and Regal had the friendship only two country boys who knew eachother since birth could have.
"Oh gak!!! Hacksaw!!! Medic? Get a medic over here now." came a scream from outside the crashed Valkyrie. Regal and Vial bolted out the plane with thier lasguns. There lying on the floor 5 metres away from the crash was a bleeding Private Hacksaw Lance Corporal Deckson kneeling next to him.Out of a building came Private Seren the sqaud medic. He ran next to Hacksaw and stated pulling out equipment.Hacksaw's screams could be heard for miles.
"Hacksaw?Hacksaw?Can you hear me?" came the frntic calls from Deckson.
Seren took a sirenge out of his medical bag and filled it with a strange, golden syrup. He then ejected this medicine into Hacksaw left shoulder. The medic stood up and slowly walked Regal and Vial."Theres nothing I could do Sarge. He took some shrapnel to his throat.Without a surgen I couldnt fix him.I gave him a dose of something that will ease the pain and make him go to sleep, He wont feel anything when he dies. Im sorry Sarge."
"It allright Seren.Ok sqaud check your weapons were moving out." said Regal to his sqaud
"What about Hacksaw.We cant leave him here." came the angry reply from Deckson.
Regal looked up at the blue sky as he heard the screams and roars of some monstrosities to the south.45th sqaud quickly readed thier weapons. They stasted moving in single file towards the north. Vial took one last look at Hacksaw lying peacefully on the snow covered ground. Tears started rollind down the corporal's eyes. He turned around and returned to 45th sqaud. How many more will share Hacksaw's fate?

Chapter 4 Going for a Ride

"Sarge.Come look at this. I think we found our escape." came the yell from Private Tango. 45th sqaud was standing in a ruined building waiting for the blizzard to clear. Seargent Regal walked to the window next to Tango. He looked down the hill to a parking lot. In this parking lot were a few burnt cars but you cant escape a tyranid swarm with that. In the middle of the lot were 2 military trucks. "Corporal Vial. Take Ulof, Higgs, Gills and Tango and get in the first truck. Deckson, Billdon and Seren get in the 2cnd truck with me." ordered Regal. The sqaud ran out the building and entered thier trucks."Corporal Vial. Meet us at the market district." said Regal over his headset. The trucks then started zooming down the main road. The vehicles were slowed down by the heavy snow that was covering the road. The whole team inside Regal's truck was quite.Everyone was still shocked by the death of Hacksaw. Private Seren looked up out the truck. " Oh gak. Sarge, we have tyranids chasing us to the south.Sarge they are gaining on us." came the frantic yelling of the medic. Deckson, Billdon and Seren, who were all sitting in the back, all lifted thier las rifles and started opening fire. Billdon, who was the son of a shopkeeper and a maid and also the biggest and toughest in the platoon, was enjoying the feeling of the gaunt's and genestealer's heads exploding from the rounds of his rifle. Suddenly a roar like a monster from hell came from the right of the truck. A massive carnifex with 2 gigantic crab like claws and 2 sabre like talons came into the few of the frew soldiers. "Keep firing" ordered Lance Corporal Deckson. They unleashed thousands of rounds into the monster but it just kept coming. The carnifex had no problem keeping up with the truck. Billdon looked around the truck in hoping of finding a heavier weapon. It was granted to him in the form of a missile launcher. Billdon brought the launcher up on his shoulder and aimed the sight towards the carnifex's head. He pressed the trigger and wathched the white smoke head towards its head. The projectile steered far right and crashed into a group of Warriors.
"Quick, Seren load me another" yelled Billdon over the roars of the Nids
"Im trying,Im trying."
"Hurry up."
"Missile loaded." screamed Seren
Billdon sqeeshed the trigger. The missile hit his target right in the chest. " Gak yeah." cheered Seren. The whole mood in the truck changed once the dust settled. The missile did nothing but enrage the Carnifex. The Fex grabed the truck with its claw and threw it to the left. As in slow motion the truck just fell. Regal,Billdon,Deckson and Seren reached the edge of the cliff surrounding the city.
