"60 seconds commander". The Storm raven's pilot seemed completely oblivious to the hail of gunfire the ship was wading through. The xenos that denied this world the emperors light were a blight on the galaxy. Although unintelligent and unorganized, what the greenskins lacked in brains, they made up for with brute strength and a blood thirsty nature. Commander Tonitrus Caine had fought in many campaigns against them but this would be the first time as the master of his chapter. "on my mark brothers." Each marine in his Sanguinary honor guard complied over the vox. The men he would make his insertion with, like himself, were heroes of the chapter. Marneus, Valdor, Stratos, Percival and Lutrus had seen as many battles as he and he silently wondered if they felt cheated at his ascension to the position. Tonitrus was younger then the them but had proven himself countless times in battle. He Put the thought out of his mind, it was time. "For the Great Angel and the All father" Tonitrus screamed as he lept from the open hatch of the raven. On wings of fire they decended on to a group of greenskins. Before they could react the Angels were upon them. Hacking and slashing with their Glaives, the sanguinary guard made short work of the small greenskin group they had landed on. Tonitrus buried his two-handed blade deep in the chest of the last orc before melting its face with his wrist mounted infernus pistol. "Commander the Green skin warboss is Three kilometers north of our current position" Valdor said checking his auspex. "This planet is crawling with this filth" said Marneus kicking over a greenskin he had just cut down, " Let us find this "Gron'brak" so we can move on to a worthy cause". " Tonitrus couldn't agree more. " Lets move, we do not have much time" The commander motioned and the elite squad silently stalked through the ruins looking for their target.
Like much of Cygnas Prime, the city lay in ruins. Three weeks of bombardment from the ork fleet and the rampaging of the ork invasion force left little worth saving. When Tonitrus recieved the planets distress call he was returning from his campaign in the eastern fringe. They were low on supplies so when they landed Tonitrus Explained to the Commander in Control of the theatre that a swift decisive victory was necessary. The squad silently moved through the city streets making their way to the center where the auspex told them the warboss was. The squad needed to move fast. The orks had taken most of the city and Tonitrus knew that without the warboss the Orks would break and flee. "Primary threat sighted" said stratos. Standing roughly twice the size of Tonitrus, Gron'Brak was intimidating to say the least. He wore on his back a Chain Axe the size of a guardsmen and was surrounded by armoured Greenskins. "Nobs as well." noted Percival. " Tonitrus and his squad positioned themselves in a semi circle around the Green skins. The warboss was busy barking out orders and did not notice the six deadly marines making their way towards him. "We strike from the sky, and silence these mongrels. Let none escape". As his Wings spread and his jetpack roared into life, the Warboss finally took notice. The squad leapt fromt their cover and assaulted the the Nobz and warboss at close quarters. Tonitrus made his way to the warboss. Dodging a strike to his head and delivering a decapitating slice to the closest Nob. Marneus made it to the warboss first. Marneus was dodging the attacks with blinding speed, slicing in and out wounding Gron'Brak But it wasn't enough. Gron'brak bellowed as Marneus buried his axe deep in the warboss's shoulder. Not able to wrench it free the warboss back handed Marneus with enough force to crack his Deathmask and send him sprawling backwards. As the warboss stalked towards the wounded Sanguinary Guard to finish him, Tonitrus charged the warboss with his blade held high. The warboss swung his axe but Tonitrus Ducked underneath slashing the warboss's stomach. The Gron'Brak screamed with ferocity as he again tried to strike at the commander. Tonitrus Side stepped the blow. Swinging his sword down throught the handle, he broke the warboss's chanin axe and sent the ork stumbling. Lifting his infernus pistol Tonitrus fired Melting half of Gron"braks face and dropping the warboss to his knees. With a Feral grin Tonitrus pulled Marneus's axe from Gron'Brak's shoulder. And swinging both weapons at once decapitated what was left of the warboss's head. Marneus was Getting to his feet with the help of the others now. " You dropped this" said Tonitrus as he threw marneus the axe. "How careless of me Commander" Said marneus with a smile. Through the vox the commander could hear the sounds of his sergeants and Imperial Kommisars alike. " The greenskins have broken" said Percival. "Aye, you were right commander they broke without their leader." said Stratos. " A sound plan commander, your first engagement was a success." "You Honor me with your praises brothers. I believe this will be the first of many." Said Tonitrus. "Grano bring the
Storms eye in to extract us". "Aye commander."

On his battle barge Tonitrus was directed to his thorne. There was a message for his eyes only. A message from his cousin, the Commander of their parent chapter. It was Commander Dante."Commander Tonitrus this is Dante. These are dark times for the Sons of the Angel. As I send this to you, The great Devourer is making its way to my home world on Baal. The Deamon Ka'Bandha has lead an army from the warp into the system. I am asking for Aid from all our Succesors. Will you stand with me brother? Let us cast our enemies from the Baal system and from this galaxy.-dante"[i] Tonitrus closed the message. He only needed seconds to send his response. "Valdor, alert our brothers from the chapter we make for Baal with everything our chapter can bring to bear . Our Primogenitor asks for assistance, and we shall respond." Aye commander." "A worthy cause" indeed thought Tonitrus as he leaned back in his Throne.
