"We haven't got time for this!"

I fire at the Chaos Marines, eager to finish them.

I will hold them back cover me we need to get to the princeps

Shas and Hunter give supporting Fire to Argosh as he crushes the Chaos Marines with his Thunder Hammer.

come on we need to be fast!

Argosh slams his Thunder Hammer into the skull of a Chaos Marine crushing him into a pulp of Blood and gore. He then slams the other into a wall crushing him and breaking his back, two Chaos Havocs armed with Heavy Bolters set up positions in cover before raining fire power against the Imperials.

i throw a frag grenade forcing them to keep their heads down then i rush into them

The man next to Mikal fell as the Havoc marines opened fire. Mikal rolled into cover as the two trails of bolter rounds chased him down.

Mikal saw around the corner the Captain Argosh charging forward, hammer in hand, Mikal smiled, the Captain sure oved that hammer of his. He looked down at his power sword, he knew the feeling. Mikal turned back to his men.

"Volley fire, we need supression!" on Mikal's orders his men began poring hellgun blasts toward the havoc's positions. Mikal took his chance, power sword in hand and followed Argosh as he laept on the havocs.

Mikal and Argosh hack the Havocs apart as they try to retreat in utter fear, the first is disembowelled by Mikals Power Sword before being kicked against a wall and being decapitated while the other has his legs crushed before being crushed by the Thunder Hammer. The Vox speakers that dot the inner rooms of the Titan buzz to life
[Do not let the Imperial Slaves take the weapon generators!]
Mikal and Argosh look through one of the View panels of the Titan to watch as its giant cannon raises and begins firing on the Eldar Aircraft. It unleashes a blast of pure energy destroying two Eldar Aircraft. The Last remaining Craft makes a suicide run against the Cannon and causes massive damage to the cannon.
“If we damage the engines we can destroy this Great War machine, or we can use the control room to activate the Self Destruct systems. Both will be difficult and we will face heavy resistance but the titan is damaged. My fighters have damaged the weaponry and shields of the Titan allowing for your Thunder Hawks to deploy heavy weapons.”

"I think I know the way to the control room, as the Farseer spoke to me once in there. Me, and possible a few others could be able to get there and activate the self-destruct sequence."

"AS I SAID BEFORE DO NOT DESTROY IT !!!!. we need to capture the main vortex generator that powrs all systems if we stop that on we have it under our control. we need to do it fast. oh and eldar witch as i said before do not destroy it or i will destroy you"

"Argosh the Titan is Corroupted and will become a threat if we do not destroy it! Mikal tell Argosh even the Tech Priests will tell you!"
Shas points to a large accses shaft that is opening , it revels two Massive Chaos Terminators.

Mikal turns on Argosh. "Captain there is no time for this arguing. We MUST destroy this thing, did you not hear the Farseer? It was used in the Horus Heresy. Against the loyalists. Its been festering in warp spawn for ten thousand years, and now Chaos forces are in control of it and about to use it to breach the Cadian gate. The Titan is beyond saving. It is our duty to make sure it does not fall into the hands of the enemy. Unless you want to see the Imperium in ruins you will help us destroy it!"

Mikal's eyes dart back and forth, seeing the tension between his own men and the marines. He decides to clench the argument.

"We cannot stand divided. I think you know captain, if you are not with the Imperium, you are against it."

"captain gaurdsmen. i am known with the ways the eldar are using. one of them is manipulation. there is no evidence this titan is corrupted and how you dare to tell that to me?"
"you are talking to an astartes soldier. you are talking to a son of the emporer himself. so soldier as i say in the name of the emporer himself. if you stand against me i will declare you and youre whole company excommis traitoris."

"so soldier are you with the emporer or are you against it? "

The Eldar and Karskin raise their weapons towards the Space Marines, both the Eldar and Karskin wishing to destroy the Titan to protect the universe.
“Even your Emperor did not wish for this Weapon to be used, his corrupted Son created it Argosh understand this. The Fallen Humans approach and will use the Titan, its machine spirit is corrupted and Daemonic and if we do not destroy it will crush the Cadien gate. The Sorcerer is clouding your mind human, we must kill him. Why do you think Vel’cona led you and your Brothers into the Eye and deprive you of the weapons you needed or are you hiding something from us? Even I know the Humans will only send their Warriors on Crusades of penitence or special missions into the Eye. Kremlin has been manipulating you and your Brethren for his own purposes , this could be a plot to corrupt your Chapter.”

There is one way to decide if it is corrupt. We must find the princepts.

"We do not have time for this. It must be destroyed. I am one of the last of my Warriors that were sent here, and I will not be stopped by you," I raise my gun and aim it at Argosh's head. "I have always had respect for your kind. Brilliant warriors you are. But I will still kill you if need be," I charge a blast, ready to fire. "Make the right choice."

" listen to me first of all when we entered the titan did not and does not look corrupted or it should have been noted by a squad or something and second off all the titan is made by the mechanicus. and it will only be destroyed when the MUI is corrupted. as you are screaming fanatically it is you arenn't proving anything and as an eldar ur one of the weakest as your manipulative tricks won't work on me. so when you bring some prove that it is corrupted and that even the MUI is beyond redemption then we will destroy it. because you aren't realising that with this titan we can purge multile worlds in the eye."

"I'm afraid we do not have time for that. Last chance to make the right decision."

I line up a clear shot at his head, ready to fire.

“Argosh you are blind to the truth, this place is infested by Daemons and Chaos Cultists. The Titan was condemned by your Emperor. Mikal and Shas understand this why do you not? If you want proof ask Mikals Tech-Priests they can sence the taint.”
The Tech Priest nods
“This Place is not looked upon by the Machine God or his light Captain Argosh.”

"Now, do you see? Or do I have to pull this trigger?"

Mikal stared hard at Argosh "I've had enough of this, the entire way here we've been hindered by heretics. Heretics, Captain, that have all come from your men. First was your techmarine, lured probably by the promises this titan holds in its dark spirit. Next was your Librarian, corrupted by similar powers. Now we are on the cusp of victory and you would have us pursue action that would not only gets all killed but have us fail our duty in the eyes of the Emperor."

A hatred for chaos burns in Mikal's eyes as he speaks.

"Corruption has been seen in your men more than anyone else's and have done more harm. Captain, you have but one chance to redeem not only you and your men but your entire chapter."

Mikal takes the sword from his sheath and points it at Argosh.

"Titles such as 'Excommunicate Traitoris' will avail you little here captain, we are beyond such matters here, those shown to be corrupted will be simply executed. Choose, Argosh, death and dishonor for the Salamanders, or glory and success for the Imperium and the Emperor. There is no other way."

I'll wait for Nocturne to return.

i slam the sword to the ground

"soldier i think you dont understand. we of the salamanders have fought more battles that you can imagine and to put me under such a descision is unauthoritized and is extremely dangerous for u. i see you hate the dark forces and if you believe that i am one then say that out loud because i think that a alliance cannot stand with one backstabbing the other. and that is what you are doing now you broke the alliance when you put that sword to my throat. i hope the high lords of terra will have mery for you and your whole company because hereby i will let them know what you did."

i turn to his gaurdsmen

"mikal just proved that he wanted your superior protectors gone. well then we leave. mikal has all control over you and he can do wat ever he wants. the ones who keep loyal to the throne can come with us. as i will not come to save you when everything goes wrong. and believe me working with xenos witches is not an good omen. but hereby we depart and leave this battle i wish you good luck because if you fail i will come to finish the holy task and i will spare not a single one."

"IN THE NAME OF THE EMPORER LET HIM HAVE MERCY FOR YOU."

and with that argosh prepares to leave his marines taking their guns preparing to battle their way out.

[via com. i want a thunderwing pick up squadron at my coordinates. i also report the mission is a fail the imperial gaurdsmen are now official on their own. repeat no rescue missions or supplying. mikal needs to secure that.as he is now their commander.]

"prepare brothers we leave."

The Karskin and Eldar raise their weapons towards the Salamanders out numbering them while some Marines defect to Mikals group.

Mikal picks up his sword and laughs "It seems even your own men doubt you Captain. But your decision is between you and the Emperor. Mark my words though, when this is over and the titan is destroyed, The Holy Ordos of the Inquisition and Segmentum command will hear of this. Turn your back on us captain, and I will have no choice but to go through you to achieve my objective."

Mikal is now pointing both his sword and his other weapons at Argosh's men. The rest of the large group behind him outnumber the marines and are also aiming their weapons at them.

"Last. Chance."

I will alow you too to continue the situation.

"as i said before i am of a higher order. and i believe that they will listen more to an captain that just came in the eye than one that almost lived in it. so soldier stand down or you will not be able to send a distress call because you will all be dead you heretic but as i said before i will leave now."

i start to walk away. i know that the lasguns and pistols cant harm power armour and sure they outnumber us but we are the elite angels of the emporer and we do his bidding.

"those who want to come with us are allowed to do that. we are now going i wish your upper commander whose zeal and lust for destruction is almost equal to khorne himself.the best with destroying this titan." i start to walk away hammer in hand and flamer on ready stance if they are really willing to fight they can get a fight. my brothers ready themselves aswell.

"I see that honour and glory is a great thing among your people. And respect. Therefore I will not have your hands bloodied by killing one of your own."

After having my pulse rifle charged and aimed for quite some time now, I fire.

"I am sorry."

(fire at who?)
