Ludd smiled, lock it down, he would lock this pile of gak down as tight as hell...

As the thunderhawk skimmed over the city of pelvicton they suddenly saw flak fire coming out of the mass of buildings. Even though Niko(the pilot) dodged many eventually the left wing was hit and they were going down...

"Sir, do we go after them?"

"No. We let them come to us now. This merely tells us that they truly do have Lord Vera aboard Nikev's Ship, still."

"Then what are your orders?"

"Hold this fething planet, Colonel. Lock it down tight."

You clever bastard

Nikev out......for now......

I do try my very best. xD

As the thunderhawk went down coc0 saw his life flashing before his eyes: His youth on Rynn's world, his success during the annual festival, being indoctrinated into the chapter, being the best scout of his squad, his many centuries as a tactical marine and becoming a captain.

Moments before the craft hit the ground he mumbled: "There is only the emperor..."

Then the craft hit the ground with a Crimson fireball and a deafening bang.

Maverick flinched away from the mapboard. The satellite imagery showed a massive flash and fireball.

His earpiece crackled into life.

"We have an enemy thunderhawk down, repeat, enemy thunderhawk down."

Bah, 14 pages of thrust...who can resist? Oh yeah, I can! *leaves thread again*

As he and his vanguard of drop pods appear from the clouds, the so called "easy to take city" of Pelvicon open up with flak coming from defense guns detonating too late to hit the pods. Gregersen tells his forces to head straight behind a hill below them to help shelter them from flak fire. His forces arrive on the ground with pretty much intact with a few casualties due to technical difficulty.

The two companies of wolves spread out and set up their encampment, whirlwinds setting up, and predator, vendicator, and land raider divisions lining up, the wolves would hunt.

CocO Gregersen said over a voxcaster, trying to contact the Crimson Fist comander we have landed, we read you have also, respond.

Gregersen this is the fists our commander has dissapeared in the city we do not know where he is.

Gregersen frowned, "Preapare a valkyrie we go to investigate." he said.

Gregersen tried to contact coc0, but all he heard was static.

Maverick was annoyed.

"Will someone tell that oversized mutt to use punctuation over the vox, dammit!"

Ludd agreed with Maverick, he was out of breath just reading the transcript from that vox, in fact, his face had gone purple...

Coc0 stumbled out of the craft with damaged power armour and with his thunderhammer dragging behind him. After putting his thunderhammer on the ground he stumbled back into the burning debris and dragged out Niko. The pilot still showed vitals, but needed an apothecary to make it.

After having dragged out Niko he sat on down against a half crumbled wall of the building they had crashed into, and tried to contact his men.

Maverick turned to a messenger.

"You there! Take this. This book is the "Codex Dictionatus" Take it to Gregersen, now!"

"But he's enemy, sah!"

"Do I Care?"

Gregersen heard his enemy Maverick complaining, he tells them to get the feth over it. then a enemy messenger appears, Gregersen shoots him.(jk)

Flying towards the city, Gregersen sees smoke, "head towards that he points it out to the pilot," once said, they figure out what it is flak pours from the city, he growls at the pilot to land them before they are shot down.

Landing he and his wolfguard deploy to see if they can help the Crimson commander.

Coc0 kept searching for channels on his micro-bead. When he found his own fist channel all he heard was static. So he tried to contact the space wolves who had landed by the eastern mountain.

"Gregersen, do you read me? This is captain coc0. My thunderhawk crashed into pelvicton and my pilot is in bad shape. Requesting support immediatly! If you read me, please respond."

"CocO this is Gregersen," hes say over his microbead, we hear you, we have landed due to flak fire and we are enroute to your location. Gregersen looks at his fellow wolves and smiles, let go save this captain so he isnt completely painted crimson. with that his pack howls and goes toward the captains poisition.

(Just making a joke.)

""copy that gregersen, i have sent my position to your dataslate. Please hurry, the thursters must've sent troops here now that both i have crashed here and you have landed."

I think were the only ones typing now so maybe we should wait for the others.

*****

(or we can continue.)

Closing the distance to the wreckage, the pack of wolves were making good time, then the artillery shelling began, "take cover!" Gregersen roared. The shellong shook the ground around them leaving craters 5 -10 meters deep, They were sheltering in habshacks outside the walls when the shelling stopped, this meant only one of two things. Either the enemy was out of ammunition(very unlikely) or they infantry and armour was coming. "Move men!Move! The enemy is upon us!" Gregersen howled. He and his pack rushed the last meters to the crash. "Hail CocO, we have come to save you, looks like we've come to die with you instead." Laughed Gregersen, "so lets die well!"

Maverick spoke quickly.

"Alpha platoon, advance north, and take the crash site. No, Lieutenant. I don't care if they're space marines, take that site."

"Bravo platoon, advance northeast, and hold the ridge over the crash site. Provide covering fire to Alpha platoon."

"Charlie platoon, advance north and set up on the farside of the crash site. Join alpha platoon for the attack."

The ability to command platoons as well as regiments on the battlefield meant that Maverick could co-ordinate plans even lord tzeentch would be proud of.

"1-2 Company, fall back to grid 54G, and prepare to ambush. Space wolves forces moving along road to north. Keep it frosty, gentlemen."

The survivors looked out of the small buildings that made up their makeshift war camp. In the distance, Gerard Mcthruster (chapter master of the angels enthrusting) could see an enemy cruiser on top of the sea. To his left, he could see drop pods crashing down near thrusty mountain. He walked around the camp making sure the apothcaries tended to the wounded, while the techmarines worked on the equipment. Stepping into the Eldar portion of the camp, he walked into Munch's command tent.
"Sir, Coc0's forces have landed near the mountain. They are currently gathering forces along with Gregersen's troops. What should we do now?"
(OOC-No really. I've used my creativity up. What should I do now?)

As the wolves preceded north along the road with cocO and the wounded pilot, Gregersen stopped. Sniffing the air with senses better than that of a wolfs, his pack felt his tenseness. "We are being wathched, stay sharp the enemy is upon us they thinks they can anbush the wolves, lets show them how we hunt." he whispered over his microbead. With that he howled a sound that was like death on the wind. The wolves hunted and they came upon the ambush party and ripped them to shreds. The screams from those men on that blood soaked ground made their masters think twice before trying such a cheap trick on wolves.

As the Massive Fleet moved to its destination, an EVEN LARGER fleet flew to meet them. As the fleets merged, the larger fleet created a perimeter around the smaller fleet, escorting but also forcing it along its path. The Ships bore no insignia and were a bland grey color to show their neutrality. They were of a design that no race in our world had yet seen, but a few.

As the ships got closer to the planet, they were forced to us smaller cruise ships and leave the war ships behind. As they got ever closer to the planet, they were forced to use drop ships instead of cruise ships. This, was to ensure the safety of the counsel. As the few drop ships, loaded with Nikev and the Prisoner Shas, in one with Nikev's Military Expedition Force, and Ribon Fox and her Force in another, they descended to the planet. The planet was massive in size, and contained massive yet cities on it, extending deep into space from the planets surface.

"You really shouldn't have started your foolish rebellion." Nikev looked at Shas, who was chained and bound, "The council doesn't take kindly to upstart hooligans who kill their brave" Nikev began to raise his voice and show his anger in his features"sons and daughters who risk their lives every single Emperor Blessed day so that filth like you can be safe in your home and live your pathetic little li-" "I don't think yelling will solve the problems of the Universe" Came a old and withered voice.

Everyone fell silent, and NIkev fell back into his position by Shas's side. "So, this is the boy" said an ancient Tau Ethereal. He had aged so much that he no longer had normal Tau legs, they were replaced by 4 spider like machine legs that wirred and made sharp striking noises every time one of them hit the ground. The Ethereal moved within arms distance of Shas and stood right in front of him. "Counsel member it is unwise to be within-" "I shall take my risks thank you Nikev. Me and mine are more than capable of handling this 'prisoner' as you call him. So why don't you just follow me then boy? Hmmm" The Ethereal smiled at Vera and beckoned him to follow.

They began walking down the path into the city. Nikev on one side of Vera, hand on his bolt pistol the whole time. Fox was on the other side, with her hand on her side-arm. As the Forces moved on, the city streets began to get smaller. Nikev, knowing that marching an army through a city with streets as small as this is hell in a hand basket, relived the majority of His and Fox's armies to go to town but to stay alert.

(OOC - Ribon if you don't want to be with the group but instead go explore this city then by all means, just detach yourself from the group.
But I'll leave it here for now. If Ribon or Vera want to post anything, the most I could say is describing the walk. we are pretty much walking in a straight line to the Chambers of the Counsel member.

And by the way Vera, don't try to run away, you CANNOT escape, your surrounded, even in the shadows there are agents who will just capture you again. so escape atm would be a big ->

Licking the blood from their fangs and blades, Gregersen is laghing and singing with his men in the middle of the heaps of dead heretical IG, coc0 comes up supporting the wounded pilot, horrified at the carnage the wolves have wrought he goes to confront the pack leader.

(Coc0 you have to come up with something to say, i dont write for other characters, so your a Crimson Fist, and you honor bound to uphold your honor and principles, it ought to add some conflict between allies.)

(Hey guys i think ribon quit the thread, she says so on page. 13.)

(OOC: *shakes my fist angrily at Nikev then pelvic thrusts* damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)

(( Am I in Maverick's base or cunningly sneaking up on the majority of gregorson's force's with no army of my own after they had fallen off the cargo ship?))
