The Leman russ trundled over the broken ground. Afi lept from the hatch, medi-pack in hand looking for any survivors. There! A space marine was feebly moving. Afi rushed towards him and removed his helmet. "What can i do?" Afi seid waving the medi-pack. The marine made motions with his hands, Afi did the best he could but the marine took the pack off him after Afi basiclly treated his wounds and expertly finshed the process. Afi lit another Lho-stick and searched the wreckage for other survivors or weapons while he waited for the marine to finish.

"I, Understand then. Alright, well I can only assume that the tyranids must know something. For what would be the reason they would send a force all the way over here whilst the main fighting is across this continent. Well, thats how I see it anyway, and the way I see, they'll send much much more tyranids seeing as how," Nikev glanced back at the carnage and Tyranid bodies that littered the ground "their little force here is dead, I do not know how you see this situation but all I know is that all of us cannot go into that ruin together. Only a small team can go in while the rest must stay out here and guard the entrance for we have all the space out here to let the bodies pile, but in there" Nikev motioned to the entrance to the ruin that lay before them." In there if the bodies pile we will be trapped in there for who knows how long."

Nikev motioned Jansen to the side out of earshot of his men. "To be honest, I would love to help you but I must stay here. This regiment is a group of damned veterans but, to these damned Tyranids the men are just virgins to this enemy. You saw what happened with Private Sanlar. If someone is not here to keep morale and spirits up then this rear-guard action will be all for nothing. I'll send you with a team of 4 men."

Nikev motioned for the men to gather. "LISTEN UP NUCIANS! This man needs our help and seeing as he is on inquisitorial business we are at his expense! I am sending 4 of you with him to help him find what he needs in this ruined place. The rest of us are to remain here and Cover their Arses until they return!"

Looking up and down the line Nikev let himself flicker a quick smile knowing that the Nucians will prove their worth. "These lucky bastards will accompany Jansen into the ruin! Scout Narko, Private Urtok, Private Salmoq, Private Saneal, and Sergent Karish! Grab Your Gear and Saddle Up Your Going In!"

[{OOC} Okay Dastardly I didn't really type words for you cause I consider this as a Extended Dialogue and I don't know really what your character would say. :/ But if you want you could add your words into it and continue if you want.....but If you don't like the path I've chosen definitely make your character speak out.]

"Combat Squad, word of a downed Valkyrie within retrieval range carrying our wounded battle brothers is within our grasp. Burn the Xenos and suffer not the Heretics Brothers! We move to secure our battle brothers from Squad Zindler are down and wounded. It is our mission now to see to it that all that are alive now shall live out this day and this battle."

Salen collected his squad of 5 and moved out at a pace to arrive at the downed Valkyrie within 15 minutes, the squad was taking no precautions that was unnecessary moving at great speed yet still aware of what was going on around them.

++Brother-Sergeant Zindler do you copy++

++This is Company Chaplain Salen with combat squad Apois moving to secure your location for extraction++

+I read you Brother Chaplain, We have wounded and dead among us+

++I copy that Brother-Sergeant hold out for 7 minutes we will make it to your position and get extraction for you and your men that are at that sight!++

++Emperor Protect Brothers, he will provide you a light in the darkest of times, Steel your faith and you shall see the might of the GOD-Emperor++


As Salen heard Zindler's voice over the comm he knew he did not have 7 minutes, "SQUAD MOVE UP AT ALL SPEED"

OOC: @katavus confilcting story line nearly.
read what has been written before you just so we're clear.

"vera, ya sure about this?" brother leroys voice called over the vox.

"yes leroy, im sure, the commisar is the objective, nothing else matters!" vera's voice shouting over the vox, in the backgroud the sounds of the rhino's engine, and the gentle hum of his armour, a slightly modified version of an orrius suit.

outside the small convoy some ruins appear to be geeting closer, a trail of smoke running behind the rhino, the land speeder far ahead, trying to beat the bike to the checkpoint.

"oh come on, this mission is stupid and you know it, a whole scout team sent to look after a commisar?" leroy said with a tone of discust.

"brother leroy, you dare question the judgement of kronos?" said kais, his voice cold and dark, as if the anger of a thousand souls was released at that moment.

"n.....no...... i am sorry kais......" leroy's spirit broken, his voice sounding sincere, his bike slowing down, as if trying to hide next to vera's rhino.

as the convoy continues on its path, a thunderhawk gunship flys over head, its belly holding on to a vindicator and a razorback.

vera looks through the top hatch, seeing the thunderhawk and its cargo, he chuckles to himself.
"ah, about time they showed up"

the thunderhawk joins the convoy, following them to the ruins, the pilot not acknowledging them, but staying with them in formation, the convoy has grown, their strength increased, but why would they need this much for one comissar?.

OOC: Sorry guys, I really have no idea what the feth is going on, so I'm going to promptly bugger off. Kill me in whatever manner you deem necessary. Or, since I haven't even posted a story post yet, that might not even be required.

(OOC: HERETIC!! *grabs a flashlight* you shall die foul servent of the archenemy *FREEM!!*, done ^^ ))

The commissar (Nikev) feels a low rumbling under the ground. A Mawloc bursts from the ground, through his squad, throwing them in all directions. It burrows back under the ground.

(OOC: Hi everyone! In case it's not obvious from my post, I'm going to be near Naruke South fighting the invasion down there. It looks like there's a desert there, so, if that's not what it is, let me know and I'll edit this post accordingly.)

Brother Marius whispered his prayers to the Emperor as he and his squad rumbled down the road in their landraider Emperor's Judgement. Flexing and relaxing his hand inside his powerfist, he looked up at the men that comprised his squad.

Brother Orion was busy checking the nozzle and components of his heavy flamer. He'll have plenty of xenos to purge with righeous flame today, Marius thought, the Tyranids WILL know fear today!

Brothers Romulus and Remus were getting their assault cannons ready, inspecting the blessed ammuntion and making sure the targeters were aligned correctly.

Lastly, Brother Septimus was linking up with his cyclone missile launcher. Any of the big bugs they came across would be no match for the volley of fire that would come from this weapon.

Marius nodded to himself. Each of these men had seen hundreds of battles and had come out unscathed. They were the elite of the elite, he trusted them just as much as they trusted him.

Suddenly, the hurricane bolters opened fire. The rhytmic thudding of the shots reverberated inside the passenger cabin.

"Sir, you'll be deploying in 10 seconds," the driver intoned over the internal vox.

Marius addresed his men, "Brothers, it is time. Say your final prayers to the Emperor, may he protect us, and gather your gear. Purge the xenos from this planet!"

With that, Marius and his squad donned their helmets and the bay doors opened to admit them to the dusty planet surface. Marius' HUD adjusted to the brightness, and he charged out of the landraider. Behind him, he heard Romulus and Remus begin to open fire on the horde.

"Orion, with me. Romulus, Remus keep a steady stream of fire going. Septimus, watch for the big ones, you know what to do."

[{OOC} *sigh* you really want me dead don't you Klawz....]

About an hour or so after the team had moved into the ruin the ground began to shack.

Erupting from the Ground right under the truck with their heavy weapons on it flew with incredible force skyward, followed by a massive creature that moved with the speed of a Space marine Speederbike.

Watching the creature rise into the air it moved into the sun, and for a moment Nikev felt as if all was calm and at peace. Then, everything flooded back as the beast Smashed into the ground creating a shockwave that knocked down everyone.

A blood curling scream filled the air as the beast scurried back into the ground.
"Sanlar!" Nikev screamed as he rushed to the sound of the screams.

"SANLAR!" Nikev yelled again as he found and rushed to the Private's side. "MEDIC!" Nikev shouted as loud as his voice would allow. Caring not that his voice was squealing a little as he was straining his voice he Screamed again "KARJEWSKI! GET OVER HERE NOW!"

Tripping over rubble as she rushed to the Commissar and Private, Karjewski dropped immediately beside them and set to work dosing the guardsmen with a sedative drug.

Moments later more guardsmen arrived on the scene, terrified, afraid to see what had happened to their dear friend and comrade.

Looking up from holding the bandages in place, the feelings in Nikev were obvious as he saw everyone crowding around with terror in their faces. "SERGENT ACKOLE! SET THE DAMNED DEFENSES BACK UP!"

Horrified, Sergent Ackole snapped back into realization and noticed that with all of them standing there they could be attacked and slaughtered with ease.

"You heard the commissar! MOVE YOUR ARSES!"
The Nucians seemed to be zoned out until the sergent started pushing and hitting.

Being silenced from the drugs the Private layed there bandaged up looking almost like he wasn't even here. Leg torn off from the mid-thigh.

"Will he make it?" Nikev looked toward Karjewski.
"He should, the leg was messy, it wasn't a clean cut, but it missed the main artery and I stopped the bleeding so he should make it. Although," She looked away obviously knowing something dark. "What is it Kar?" Nikev watched her. "He won't make it for long. I patched him up the best I could but, he won't make it for much longer without better equipment and supplies."

Nikev stopped, Bursting from where he was sitting he Tackled Karjewski and they skidded a few feet. A millisecond later the Beast erupted from where Karjewski and Nikev were a moment earlier. Slamming into the ground, the creature reared back and let out a earsplitting roar.

"Run!" Nikev shouted to Kar as he pushed her up and away from the lumbering beast.

Ripping out his Chainsword from its holster Nikev Roared with the Fury of the Emperor for his Injured friend! Roaring alongside his chainsword holding it two handed Nikev prepared for a fight he knew without the Emperor's Grace he would not make it out alive.

"FIGHT ME FOUL XENO!" Nikev bellowed as the Beast began to lurch forward.

ghosty wrote:Sergeant Zindler was lying on his back. Next to him, was his brother in arms, Ventrius, and nearby, Augustus. Zindler was the only one still breathing. After their chaotic crash landing, Ventrius broke his neck on the impact to the ground. Zindler had misjudged his own landing, and had impaled himself on a nearby jutting metal pipe. He had slid down to its base, and now was staring up at the sky, watching the aerial dog fights between the imperial navy, and the Tyranid fleets. Augustus had survived the landing, only to be killed almost instantly by a direct hit from a bomb dropped by a thunderbolt. Now, however, all was calm. Even the deafening violence of war was fading away, until, the sergeant could hear nothing but the rhythm tic beating of his two hearts. His breathing slowed.

OOC: just adding a bit of desperation to the thread someone come save him before he dies. If know one does, ill make me another character.

It’s up to you dakka!

OOC: Vikingscott, is it not correct that this squad has been shot down? is it not space marines, if it is not, then i can edit my story so that it works i guess i was confused as to what had happened with this character that is all. Can edit if need be.

OOC: Im on scene and have patched up zindler just keep yor post the same but add at the start of your next one or something a rushing figure tending to Zindlers wounds. (Afi Drazznik). He'll survive but if your guys have got medical equipment he'll still need it. I haven't healed him just prolonged his life a bit. And now my charcater is searching the wreakage. Yes he is a SM and they haved crashed thats why he isnt completly healed as a lowly guardsmen wont know about sm phsisology

( OOC: and Neikev, feel free to add my guys to come in running to the rescue )

[{OOC} I was actually not bringing them in cause I thought you wanted to but I guess bring them in next time I story post. I still have to think how and when I'll bring them in if I wind up bringing them in.]

(OOC: alrighty, and i hope you find some kind of epic way for them to appear..... epicly ^ ))

As Salen came into the clearing of the crashed Valkryie he noticed the figure of a smaller Human rummaging through the crash, He proceeded and then ordered Brother Damasicus who was caring the medi-packs to get over the the marines and help as best he could.

"Soldier, I am Brother-Chaplain Salen of the Salamanders Chapter, Responding to the distress signal sent out from my Brother-Sergeant at this location."

Brother Damasicus what is the situation here?

++Two Casualties, Brother Augustus and Brother Ventrius, We can save Brother-Sergeant Zindler if we get him extraction, otherwise he has approximately 45 minutes till his primary heart fails, after that 1 hour max until death.++

+Thank you Damasicus do what you can for him now++

The man presented himself as Afi of the imperial Guard Leman russ squad. He presented himself well and stood as a proud figure when conversing with Salen.

++External Speakers++ Salen then spoke that they needed to move from this position and that his combat squad would provide cover for the Leman russ's flanks and that they needed to get the Red Scorpion to an extraction point then to push back this Xenos filth.

The Imperial Guardsmen saluted and proceeded back in the the tank, Brothers Damasicus and Xilith would carry Brother-Sergeant Zindler and the rest of the squad would cover both sides of the tank to get to the extraction point 1.3 kilometers west from their position.

As the group moved out Salen voxed prayers of protection and speed for the squad as well as prayers for the fallen brothers for now they fought at the side of the emperor for all eternity.

Emperor Protects Brothers, do not falter

Afi lept to the hatch and with the Red Scorpians covering his flanks started moving towards extraction. He reached for his pack of Lho-sticks, but they wern't there, he cursed himself for smoking the last one. The Leman Russ trundled out of the crash site and towards the extraction piont the marines mentioned.

Belive me bud....I'll make it as epic as I possibly can. XD
Although It will be a few hours till I can post...considering I'm in class now and don't have the time span to type/reword/ (the whole writing process) at the moment.

OOC: Unfortunately, too much to read all the last posts. I've added my character to the sign up thread, and this' my first post (obv). As far as I can tell, we don't need permission... but DW, my charry ain't stupid. Exiled BA. Deal wiv it. Right, here we goes!


BIC: 30 clicks out from the capital, Arkus estimated. He paused. Something was wrong. His superhuman implants, despite the increased awareness they granted him, couldn't detect anything. But he knew something was here. He drew his Chainsword, hammered down on the trigger and spun around, casting his chainsword around in a wide ark. The beast roared it's alien displeasure. The Lictor stood solidly, squaring him up. Arkus muttered his annoyance to the Emperor, seeing that his weapon had only charred the beast's front bones. He lifted his bolter and fired off two shots as the creature charged, and rolled underneath it as it leaped. It span, before he could get up, and flesh hooks leaped from it's chest, but bounced harmlessly off his armour. It jumped again, right on top of him, pinning him. He blocked it's right claw with his arm, then slashed at it with his chainsword, cutting the claw off. It realed back in anger, and he took full advantage of this. Suddenly, he fealt painful memories calling to him; the black rage. He tried, everso hard. And through an act of extreme willpower, banished the thoughts, saving himself. His foe's talon arced down, ripping his helmet off. It then came down, it's feeder tendrils heading straight for his exposed face. He gritted his teeth, prayed to the Emperor and raised his Bolter into it's face, firing off a single, mass re-active bolt. It went straight into the thing's face, and then preceded to explode. The corpse fell onto the marine, and Arkus pushed it off. He wiped the ichor, which burnt his flesh, off of his face with his armoured gauntlet. His armour seared for a second more, then the sound stopped. He reclaimed his helmet, scarred as it was. It had a huge scar across it, and he thanked the Emperor for his sacred armour. "Purge the Xenos" he recited. He clicked his helmet onto his belt, deeming it more of a liability to his vision if he wore it now. "Three Lictor's down... can't be much more out there" He grimly stated. He headed off back in the direction of Naruke Capital, and as he did, he picked up the claw he had severred, adding it to the other two trophies he'd picked up today. This'll help me get some more work he thought.

OOC Brillant i wonder whos getting randomly scwered with next

OOC: im sreiously tempted to do some pelvic thrusting just so my guys get screwed

OOC: There isn't much interaction between characters in this RP... think we need to work on that... maybe the entire planet gets screwed and our individual heroes all band together in some futile-ish last stand? This all seems to be less about RPin' and more about just killing this planet.

OOC: Well as you know VikingScott we will be the extract them off the giant pole.

Yeah, see you peeps tomorrow on this, and don't forget to check out my rp (advertising :O) no, but seriously, thanks for the support, Shas, and it goes to show that not all wargamers lack common sense :p

[{OOC] Well Darkvoicd you may get your futilish last stand when we get to page 5.
*sigh* (yes another sigh) all these space marines Klawz...and you give the humie the big threat.... jk jk...I don't mind ^.^]

Rolling to the ground Nikev thought to himself how lucky he was to dodge such a quick lunge.
Rearing back to strike again the beast looked evermore determined to kill Nikev this time.

Suddenly just as the beast was about to Lunge forward, Las-fire and Bolter fire Erupted from the ruins around them.

As the beast reared back from this sudden new threat Nikev took this time to Charge forward. Seeing an opening in its Defense Nikev Lunged with his Chainsword roaring.

Phased but not unaware the Beast snapped back into focus and slashed at Nikev with one of its massive Claws.

Performing a two handed block the Claw smashed into the Chainsword flinging Nikev back. Nikev skidded a good 30 metres before he finally smashed against a ruin.

Ignoring all other opposition the Beast Lunged toward Nikev Stopping only a few meters away from him.

Nikev could smell the disgust and rot that the beast breathed. Unable to move from his breath being knocked out of him. Nikev could only sit and watch his doom loom ever closer to him.

From nowhere over the Crack and Fiss of the las-guns and bolter a Mighty Roar Filled the air. Nikev recognised this as the Roar of a Space Marine SpeederBike.

"STRIKE NOW BROTHERS!" was one of the few things Nikev heard as his closing eyelids witnessed a SpeederBike ram the side of the beast tearing it from its current course.

The last thing he heard was Karjewski's voice calling his name as he slowly slipped from consciousness.

[{OOC} Just wanted to clarify I'm not dead......I'm simply...Unconscious. BTW There you go Shas....you have now been "introduced" to my character.....to a degree.]

vera smiles, hearing leroys cry of excitement as the scouts bike smashes into the side of the beast, his right hands lightning claw sparking with an ancient power, he digs it into the caprace of the beast, shredding through its armour, he crys out.

"LLLLLEEERRRRROOOYYYYYYY...... JJJEEENNNNNKKKKIIIINNNNSSSSSS!!!"

from the safety of his rhino vera facepalms, hearing that fool's warcry, the rhino suddenly stops, the back hatch opening to reveal the speederbike trying to drive itself loose of the beast, vera unholsters his lascannon, raising it up with his right hand, he aims for the beasts soft underbelly, but his aim gets unfocused, the groud shaking as several loud ear spliting explsions engulf the creature in smoke, the bike's engine still roaring, vera curses.
"by the knowledge of Kronos, what the hell are you doing kais?"

kais' voice calm over the vox caster, a landspeeder flys over head.
"i thought you wanted to protect our brothers"

vera calls back "yes, but i want the killing blow"

he looks through his sights once more, the smoke slowly disapating to reveal the beast slumped over, its armour shattered and shredded, purple slime oozing out, a speederbike still on top of it, leroy with the creatures head gripped in his steering hand, a look of glory on his face, he raises up the creatures head, bathing himself in the glory of his first kill.

"behold, leroy, the beast killer!" leroy shouts using his own voice, the humans staring in disbelief at the sudden appearance of these three scouts, with strange quiptment, killing this creature when themselves couldn't do anything.

(OOC: that, is what i call an epic entrance)

((OOC: Um... not to be annoying, but who is everyone exactly? o.o need to know 'cause I don't want to be a'callin' termies IG :p))
